II was the signal.
Along the line Of entertainments
ran a zig-zag fire and the rattle of
guns almost continuous.
While the first rank fell back to re-
load, the second pushed forward and
took their places.
Evidently the affair was 10 be de.
cided hand to hand. and no one could
foretel the result.
Every moment Colonel John had
hopes of hearing the encouraging cries
that would proclaim the coming Of re-
Inducements from Sherman, but I'M
less they come very soon 1t would be
too late. since his handful of men
could not long hold their own against
such overwhelming odds.
This was only one of numerous
small battles which history had re-
corded merely in the aggregate as a
series of engagements around At
lanta, in which many men were lost
on both sides. and little save glory
won
Fortune favored the Federals in this
case, for when everything lookec the

came upon the scene.

1t was the Confederates now who
sought safety in flight, leaving many
of their heroic dead and wounded in
and around the breastworks, for the
possession of which they had fought
so long.
Colonel John was down.
In the last stirring encounter he had
fallen, while leading his men into the
thick of the fight.
They carried him to the city.

Colonel John had a fighting chance
for his life.
That was all.
To move him at that stage would
be madness, since it must result in
his death.
This meant that whether the colonel
got well or not depended upon the en-
envy, since he must be left to their
tender mercies.
Thus there came a day when the
Federal forces rode or marched out
of the city and headed in an easterly
direction.
Those who knew and loved Colonel
John had gone to the hospital to bid
him adieu.

How the Expenses of the Government

A correspondent asks: as the presi-
dent able to save anything out OF the
mere $4,000 a year salary he re-
ceives?" Many people believe that the
$4,000 year which the president gets
as salary is the sum total of his Official
income. 1t is a mistake, says the San
Francisco Argonaut.
This is haw he is paid: $4,000 is
given him in addition to his salary of
$4,000 to pay the salaries of his sub
ordinates and clerks. His private sec
rotary is paid $3.50. his assistant pri-
vate secretary $3.50, his stenographer
$500, five messengers (each) $1,000, a
steward 1900, two doorkeepers (each)
$1,000, four other clerks at good sal
aries, ranging from $500 to $4,000;

The president is also well to do in

The American Fleet and Revolution ary Plot to be Looked After at the Same Time.

Annoy. Oct. 25.-Order is rapidly be- ing established on the reception grounds. where the recent typhOon wrought destruction. The original plans for the reception of the officers and men of the American fleet are likely to be carried out in full.
 A revOlutionist plot, unearthed yes terday, causes great anxiety, officials fearing that it's qualification may be far reaching. It is feared that the plot involved the assassination of a high Chinese official during the reception. Extraordinary precautions are being taken and will be extended during the fleets stay here.
 The attempt of the American Boy colt Association to organize a dem onstration proved a complete failure, and any open attempt on the part of any person of the organization to in- terfere with the festivities will be met by severe punishment. The fleet is due on Friday when Admiral Sah of the Chinese navy will call on Ad- miral Emory, commander of that DOT ton of the fleet which will visit Annoy. presenting the cards of Prince Yu Lang and Dian Tun Yen, official representatives from Pekin.

He expects to complete the A. & c. to Bengal and to build several trib- utaries to that line.
