LEE AND MCCLELLAN.
An Incident of ths First Meeting of
 the Two Soldiers.

An Incident of the First Meeting of
 the Two Soldiers.
 Tue first meeting between General George B. Mcclellan and General Rob ert E. Lee happened in Mexico during the war with that country. Mcclellan was a lieutenant of engineers, and Lee was q major on the staff of General Winfield Scott.
 One dny Mcclellan was walking across field when he saw General Scott and his staff approaching on horseback As they drew nea- Ma for Lee refined up his horse and asked the lieutenant if he did not know fhnt he was disobeying orders. His tone was sharp and angry. Mcclellan answered that he was not aware of .any disobedience and asked for an ex- planation- Lee replied that all officers had been told to remain in their quar- Bters, awaiting orders, and asked for sfhe lieutenant's name
 Mcclellan gave his name and said that no order of that kind had reached fhim- But Lee In a peremptory tone ordered him to go to his quarters and iremain there. Then he rode off and lrejoined General Scott and the stan. who had not stopped Mcclellan went to his quarters, as he had been directed to do. but was quite indignant at the way in which Lee had treated him, for he had not knowingly committed a breach of discipline
 He had just finished telling his broth CT officers the incident when he was Informed that an officer was outside the tent asking for him.

Special from United Press.)
 New York. Dec 30.-"It is absolutely false" said Pliny H. Williamson. att torrIey for the Wright brothers, avi- ators. today when shown the report to the effect that his clients are pre- pairing to enjoin all persons who try to make areoplaae flights at Los Angeles next month.
 "The Wrights will. of course. resist in the courts, an attempt to infringe their patents. and one action against the HerTing. Curtis people is now per ding in Buffalo It is absurd to say that the Wrights take the atti- tude that no one else can invent or operate an areoplane. So long as their patents are not infringed they well come competition.
 "The flight of such machines as, in the opinion of the Wrights. are built in violation of their patents will be resisted in the courts. no matter whether they are flown in Los Angeles or elsewhere But they will not take any attitude of exclusion. If there was to be any such attitude taken. 1t would have been done at Rheims"
