Duraxxo, June 15.-The government
troops. under the personal Leadership of
Prince william. today repuised strong
attack on the Albanian capital by Mus
sulman insurgents.
At the outset OF fighting the insur-
gents gained an advantageous position,
but after Col. Thomson. the Dutch come

killed, Prince William placed himself
at the head of the defenders and sue
ceeded in silencing the rifle and artil-
lery fire Il the attacking force after
three hours fighting.
A strong force Of Albanian. Mussul-
man insurgents opened an attack on
the city at an early hour this morning.
maintaining for hours sharp rifle fire
supported By artillery. Among the first
Of the defenders Of the Albanian capt.
tai to be killed was Col. Thomson. the
Dutch officer selected by the powers to
command the gendarmerie. in success
sion to the Swedish officer who pre-
viously had held the position.
Bluejackets from the international
fleet, lying or the Albanian coast. were
sent ashore to guard the foreign lega-
tions. .
The assault. which started at &
O'Clock. was carried out by three sepa-
rate columns Of insurgents. Today's
attack by the insurgents. came as q
complete surprise to the residents OF
the capital where official statements
had been published declaring that the
Mussulman rebels against the rule OF
Prince william had been utterly de-
feated by the Cover ,ment forces a few
days ago. 1t was asserted that the
remnant Of the rebel forces was sur
rounded by government troops at Shiak
between Durazzo and Tirana.
Accounts vary as to the strength Of
the opposing forces In the field. 1t Is
estimated that the government has
5000 trained men who are said to be
opposed to about n 900 insurgents. The
rebels. for the most part, are tribesmen
without discipline and they are scat
tered over wide range Of country.

ton and forms a natural fortress easily
defended by q few modern guns. ,.

Social Sanity.

Des Moines Register and Leader:
Interesting for it's applicability to
the present dance fever throughout the
country is the observation Of Professor
Meunsterberg regarding society and the
dance. He sees in the universal crazo
a threatening abandon. a lack of con-
troll in one direction which argues Tor
a breaking down of will in others.
Dancing may easily be Q safe ana
innocent recreation. It contains many
Of the simple and primitive elements Of
expression and response that are !
ural correctives Of a highly cornplicat-
ed regime Of civilization. But n re-
creation which becomes unbalanced
which controls instead of being con-
trolled, is a menace or q symptom OF
serious unrest. 1t may be that danc-
ing is only the expression Of this spirit
of unsafe extravaganza which seems
m of our present dangers, Whatever
the basic cause, the best social sanity
demands that we maintain q rational
balance between, excessive Indulgence
and excessive restraint.

Colonel Says Mouth Wss Known to

Theodore Roosevelt in Scribner's:
The most important part Of our trip
turns out to be that down the I'm
known river. In view of the discussion
that has taken place about this river
it is perhaps best to make this short
statement in reference thereto.
We put upon the map an unknown
river. in length and volume roughly
corresponding to the Elbe, the Rhine
and the Rhone and Saone. The upper
course Of this river, where we went
down It, had neve hitherto been trav-
ersed nor the adjoining country visited
by any civilized The lower course
had for years been known to the rub
Der men, but the photographers not
only of Europe and the United tSates
but of Brazil were so totally ignorant
of it that not a hint of its existence Is
to be found on the map. For example,
the mar of South America furnished
us by the American Museum of Ma
tural history, an excellent publication
by a. fellow of the Royal Geographical
society, and as good as any other map,
contains not only no hint Of the course
of the river, but not ever a name for
the dotted outline which l suppose
probably was meant to indicate the
mouth Of the river where 1t entered
the Madeira. On a Brazilian map /
saw this dotted outline given the name
by which It Is known by the rubber
men, Ariponan, but it was still left in
as q creek, the mapmaker having no
idea whatever of it's size or import
ance.

The grandmother of Boston,

Henry A. Beers in Yale Review:
Once or twice Mr.. Emerson visited the
school (the Concord school) Of philo-
sophy), taking no part in it's proceed
ings, but sitting patiently through the
hour, and wearing what a newspaper
reporter described as his wise
smile" After the lecture for the ses-
sion was ended, the subject was
thrown open to discussion and there
was an opportunity to ask questions.
Most of us were shy to speak out In
that presence, feeling ourselves in a
state of pupilage. Usually there would
be a silence of several minutes, as at a
Quaker meeting waiting for the spirit
to move; and then Mr.. Alcott would
announce in his solemn, musical tones:
IT have a thought" and after a
weighty puase, proceed to some Orphic
utterance. Alcott, indeed, was what
might be called the leader on the floor;
and he was ably seconded by Miss
Elizabeth Peabody. the sister Of Ma
thaniel H~awthorne's wife. Miss Pea
body was we'll known as the intro
Queer of the German kindergarten, and
for her lifelong zeal in behal OF all
kinds of philanthropies and reforms.
Henry James was accused of having
caricatured her in his novel, The
~Bostonians," in the figure of the dear,
visionary, vagely benevolent old lady
who is perpetually engaged in pro-
noting Causes" attending conven-
tions, carrying on correspondence
forming committees, @awing UP reso-

many cause" On hand at once that she
gets them all mixed up and cannot re-
member which of her friends are spiri-
tualists and which of them are con-
cerned in woman's rights movements,
temperance agitations. and universal
peace associations. Mr.. James denied
that he meant Miss Peabody, whom he
had never met or known. If so, he GER
tainly defined the type. In her later
years Miss Peabody was nicknamed
