Their Splendid showing-Avenue
Parade Follows the Drill.

Under the shadow Of the Monument,
and in the presence Of distinguished gov
ernment officials and a vast concourse Of
spectators, the regiment Of high school
cadets held its annual sham battle on the
Ellipse yesterday afternoon.
After an hour Of skirmishing, firms
and hurried flank AApvements. the judges
called the cadets Mo the center Of the
field and compllmented them on their
splendid showing No decision was given,
and 10 the onlCokers who saw and un-
derstood the evenness Of the struggle
such a course was inevitable.
For a time it looked as though Jupiter
PIgvius would be the victor as toward
o'clock the clouds began TO gather over
the scene Of action. But as the solid
phalanx passed the reviewing party the
sun shone and glittered on the bright
swords and accoutTements Of the milf
tary and gladdened the hearts 0f the
spectators. In perfect alignment, the en-
tire regiment paraded once around the
field, and then separated into two divl-
si0ns. one of which was tp comprise the
attacking army and the other the de-
fense. The problem which confronted the
youthful soldiers was almost too theoreti-
cal % allow the onloOKers to follow it
satisfactorily. hut the constant firing and
the hurried movements Cf the troops
served to keep up enthusiasm.
Plan of Battle.
Under the command Of Lieut. Col Las
sier the defending party was supposed
20 be the escort OF the convoy which was
making its way into Virginia Finding
the Chain Bridge blocked they were
forced TO retreat toward the AcqUeduct
Between these two points the attacking
army under the command OF Col. Thisl
began firing and a resr-guard action be-
gan As there was no decision 10 could
not be determined whether the convoy
arrived safely in Virginia or was ami
hilated in Washington, hut there was
glory enough for all in the award OF the
judges
IN the first few moments the defenders
who began firing on the outskirts OF tho

pr0straye near the row OF reviewers. Vol

the seven attacking regiments who had
formed "a well-hiddeu ambuscade 10 the
dense bushes that surround the battle
ground.
After a half hours fighting blue-coated
forms could be seen lodging to and fro
iu the background. and as the Thiel com
mand became more evident the firing of
the defenders took a more vehement turn
and for a few moments the shot and shell
fell thick and fast about both armies II
was when the battle was at il thickest
that the bugler sounded the call for a
cessation Of hostiIites and. although ons
or two struggling shots were fired hy

quickly drew together and began prepa-

James J. Hill. the railroad president
was once riding at night on the rear
end OF his private car when his train
passed over a long wooden trestle. A
freight train had gone over a few min
utes before, and Mr.. Hill remembered
he had given orders that after the
passing Of all trains over this trestle
track patrolman should 60 over the
structure with a bucket of water and
exttnguish any embers that might
have fallen from the locomotive
Though the Hill special was going
along at 40 miles an hour. the alert
eye Of the president caught sight of
hole in the bottom OF the bucket

threw the vessel over one shoulder.
Mr. Hill ordered the train back to the
trestle and summoned the Waterman
to him.
My man, you are to the Great
Northern company just what that hole
is to the bucket you carry-a good
deal worse than useless. You may
throw the bucket away and look for
another job. Human life is too dear
to trust 1t to one Of your kind"

Wild Ride THROUGH TunneI

Some winters ago q Welsh railroad
tunnel was the scene OF q most excit-
Ing episode. One day In January.
1903, the Cermarthenshire hounds
found a fox which made at first
straight for the coast, but being
turned by some villagers took to the
railway line and ran into a long tun-
mel, followed by the whole pack. The
master, Mr.. Harries, realized the dan
ger to the hounds, and at once fol-
lowed them.
He was fully a quarter of a mile
down the tunnel when q roaring
sound behind warned him that a train
had entered the tunnel. Almost in
stantly the glare Of the headlight lit
the dripping walls. and the horseman.
clapping spurs to his horse, began to
gallop at full speed through the dark
ness. There followed q most exciting
race for life. the man riding at the
pitch Of his horses pace, the train
laundering in pursuit.
By a sort of miracle the horse kent
its feet, but the train gained rapidly.
At last the white circle OF the tun-
ners mouth appeared and the driver
OF the engine noticed the black sill
houette Of the rider against the light
and slackened speed. Rider. hounds
and all came safely out of the perilous
predicament into which they had
plunged themselves,

AFRAID or CONSTITUENTS.

A significant fact is that every Demo
cratic member of Congress who has
come to Washington in a long while
has expressed the opinion that Mr..
Bryan will be the Democratic nominee.
Fully as significant is the fact that not
a single one of them all will say he
prefers Bryan to anybody else. Wash
lngton letter to the Times-DiSpatch.
This is a pretty picture drawn by
the correspondent of an Anti-Bryan
Democratic journal of the fine spirit of
political courage which characterizes
our representatives in Congress. If it
be accurate, what prospect of good leg
islation is there from a set of men who
whisper one thing in private and shout
another to the public ear. Are they
afraid Mr.. Bryan will spank them
should they openly avow their opposi-
ton to him?-Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.
No, they are afraid their constituents
will spank them. This is especially
true in Virginia and at the South.
Though the Southern representatives
in Congress may believe that Mr.. Bryan
is not the man who should be the candi-
date of their party or the proper man
to be President, they know that a great
majority of their constituents are still
his most ardent admirers and followers.
These representatives want to stay
in, and they yield their honest convic-
tons to that end. The masses of the
Southern Democrats have not forgotten
the lesson taught them in 1896 by their
leaders as to the greatness of Mr.. Bryan
and the soundness of his doctrines.
The Southern Democratic leaders
have for many years been more influ-
enced by expediency than principle, and
we may look for no change of their
conduct with regard to the approaching
presidential campaign.

0klahomsis Growth
New York Evening Post. }

Mischievous 17-year-old Oklahoma
was allowed to have a census this sum-
mer to keep the playful Territory busy
while kind guardians and elderly sisters
were deciding whether or not to trust
her with statehood. The census is now
finished, and it shows that from a total
population of 100, S9l in 1890. Oklahoma
and Indian Territory have grown to a
population of ,40S, 1872 1t is the rather
obvious comment on these figures that
Oklahoma, when suffered to enter at
all, will enter the Union with larger
population than any other State had at
the time of admission. 1t is a more re-
markable distinction, however, that the
population determined by actual count
is larger by several thousand than was
estimated for this years World Alma
nae by the territorial governor. Where
as the enabling act provided for five
congressional districts in the new Ter
ritory, there is more than population
for seven. On basis Of the population
estimated by governors for the current
year, Oklahoma is in 25th place, below
Maryland and above South Carolina.
Only p States in 1900 had larger popu-
lation than Oklahoma has now. The
people of both Oklahoma and Indian
Territory rank high in point of literacy,
and the proportion of native-born is
larger than in almost any other section.
We give emphasis to these facts be-
cause it is in the face of them that the
effort is being made to defer statehood
for another year or two.

TELEPHONE ON CAR
HAS PROVED OF GREAT AID IN
TRAIN DIsPATcHiNe.
In Numerous Ways the Idea Has
Been Found OF the Utmost Prac-
teal Value-In Accidents
or Storms.

There are three methods followed
In the application of the telephone to
electric railway dispatching: ID
Fixed telephone sub-stations in booths
placed at suitable points along the
line. ca Jack boxes at poles to which
portable telephones carried in the
cars may be hung and connected for
temporary use. CD Portable tele-
phone sets hung upon the front OF the
car, the, vesdbule platform Of which
serves as a booth, and attachment
made by flexible wires to jacks at
numerous poles along the line.
On some railway lines, says Tech
meal Literature, the method Of con-
Meeting a telephone ON the car with
the line is not by means OF 9 jack at
the side OF one of the poles, but by
a long, slender rod carrying the wires,
which may be hooked upon the main
line at any place.
The telephones used on electric
railroad systems must give transmits
sion which is clear and loud, and
must be OF types not liable to be
placed out Of service by the Jar OF
Application OF the telephone to
train dispatching on electric railways
has resulted In a marked economy of
both plant and operation, in that the
ability OF the superintendent to be
informed as to the position OF the
various cars and to communicate with
their operators gives a greater ssrv-
ice to the road.
The telephone Is OF great service In
severe snowstorms by reason Of the
facility for Information to be given
the train dispatcher a. to the condi-
ton OF the road. In cases of raishap
the telephone Affords means for the
quick clearance of the track by the
facilities OF obtaining wrecking cars
or repair hands In case of accident
not only can medical help be sum-
moned for the injured but means can
be taken to procure information rela-
tive to details OF the occurrence
which may be OF great Importance in
ascertaining the liability of the COM
pany.

Engiand's New Possession.
Philadelphia Press)


Sir Edward Grey, by his declaration
IN regard to the Persian Gulf, settles
the character and scope of the new
agreement with Russia.
Four years ago Lord Lansdowne de-
clared that England would control the
Persian Gulf. Persia is now divided.
The northern share goes to Russia, with
part OF the western. England extends
its power over the southern and south
eastern shore, and Afghanistan and
Baluchistian are now to be recognized
as under English control.
Our maps will continue to carry their
old boundaries, but for all practical pur-
pooes, just as England holds east of
India to Siam, so west of India Eng
land now holds across to Egypt, by way
OF the south coast of Arabia.
Persia will remain independent but
England, which now administers Balu-
chistan and the west coast of the Per-
sian Gulf, will in few years manage
South Persia and rule the coast of
Arabia to Alden.
The Russian advance across Persia is
stopped. The German railroad, the
length of Turkey to the Persian Gulf.
must end in an English port or not
reach navigation. From Egypt to Bur-
nah England grips the coast and wat
ers of South Asia, with India as but
the center of its Empire.

LIBERTY A NATURAL RIGHT.

Governor Folk, of Missouri, in his
recent address at the jamestown Expo
sition, declared that Liberty is Right
and Not Privilege" While there is
nothing new in this declaration, it will
be well for the people of the United
States, especially the people of vir-
ginia, to pay careful heed to it. If
liberty is a natural right of all God s
created beings, it is emphatically a
more enlarged right of every citizen of
a republican government. The natural
rights of the citizens of the United
States have been enlarged by the &C
quired rights that attach to citizenship.
One of the acquired rights that attach
to citizenship is the right to vote. This
right may be regulated but it cannot
be taken from any man who is born 6
citizen, except for cause. How many
thousands of men in Virginia have beer
deprived of this right without cause

France In Morocco.
Springfield Republican,


If the French general at Casablanca
has finally succeeded in bringing the
Moorish chiefs to accept his terms of
peace and lay down their arms, France
is to be congratulated. Threatened
with long and costly war of conquest
in Morocco, the outlook for France was
by no means assuring. Germany's at
titude, apparently, while strictly "cor-
rect, " was not all that could be desired.
for in case of a genuine campaign of
subjugation in the interior it would
manifestly have been difficult to OBJ
serve closer the treaty of Algeciras,
upon which Germany bases her Morocco
policy. With Russia enfeebled and
Germany feeling little pressure upon
her Eastern frontier, the French gov
eminent could have counted but little
upon the Franco-Russian alliance to
hold Germany in check in case the Mo-
roccan business were to become the
more entangled or provocative of inter-
national jealosies. Premier Clemen-
ceau has striven with great resolution
to keep France out of serious war, his
policy being strictly that of carrying
out the mandate of the Algeciras con-
vention and not exceeding it.
No one can ignore, however, the fact
that Morocco itself faces a civil war.
With rival sultans marching against
each other and with no central authori-
ty strong enough to control any consid-
cradle portion of the country, not even
the seacoast itself, it is evident that
the peace which the French general
may patch up with few chiefs of Cas-
ablanca will fall far short of solving the
Moroccan question. But under the cir
cumstances, the European powers prob
ably prefer to let the Moors fight
among themselves rather than to en-
danger their own peace. The most that
the powers in concert seem likely to do
in the near future is to protect the
coast towns and provide for the inter-
tional police in the district designated
by the Algeciras convention.
