OUR WASHINGTON LETTER
(From our regular correspondent.)
Washington, March. 27? b.?"Th?
ver victorious army" is tho title nov
given to the men of Geu. 0;is, whr
are again fightiog and Hgaiu carry in j;
everything before them. Since the
first dispatches oncoming the batth
of Saturday arrived, the corridors cl
the war department have been filled
as they were during the few weeks oi
the war with Spain, with officers and
uewspsper correspondents, ail on th^
alert for tho latest from the front.
Kuher Actio* Secretary Meikleiohn.
or Adjutant General Oorbiu is constantly
on duty. They both express
absolute confidence that Gen. Otis
will successfully carry through hie
plau to destroy Aguiualdo's army before
there is auy let up in the light,
and neither of them look for any serious
m??. back for our troops. The
regroiah'e feature of the victories has
been the considerable number ot casual
ties among our troops, but they
are fortune of war that cannot be
avoided. The lighting probably shortened
President BIcKinley'a vacation
as he f.Mtt word au soon a* the first de
patcLfa ot Gen. O is were forwarded
to him that he w .u!d return to Washington
a'. our?.
i\_e Aiili.ur/ Court of Inquiry has
returueu to Washington, where the
last witnesses win ue board. JNobouy
has any authority to say what the report
of the Court will bo, but the impression
is general among those who
have closely followed all the testimony,
that it will justify every charge made
by Gen. M ha about bad beef being
furnished the army, and that it will recommend
one or more court martials of
army officers who were responsible for
the purchase aud acceptance of the
beef. Should this impression bo correct,
Gen. Eagau will certainly catch
it, for aa Commissary General, he is
the man who must be held responsible,
although the real fault may have belonged
to some i f his subordinates.
As most men approvo of a man re
turning a blow for a blow, there is little
personal criticism of Mr. Bryan's
rebuff and arraignment ot Mr. Belmont,
of N. Y , in connection with the
much talked about ten dollars a plain
Jefferson dinner, but many men who
supported Mr. Bryan in -<Jt> regard
it aa a very bad break politically, and
are already a', work iu the iuloreii of
other candidates. One of the is ExRepresentative
King of Utah, who
aid on the subject; "The wiser leaders
are looking for a candidate wh will
not begin his campaign with alienating
a large section of the party. Such
a man aa nnator Teller might stand
a good show of olection. The abler
politicians realize this fact, and are
quietly placing bis merits before tinmen
who will have the voting to do
in convention, although they realizs
folly that if the convention were to b^
held now, Mr. Bryan would certainly
b? nominated.
According to an official statement

is no scarcity of money in ibis
country On tho coutrary, he
says the percapitu circulation was
$25 51 on the first of the present
month, against $23.83 one year ago.
He taya the seeming scarcity of money
haa been brought about by a large
increase in the volume of business
done, and by a disinclination in bank
ing and commercial circles, except on
the Pacific coast, to push iuto active
circulation, the enormous quantity of
gold coin that bos accumulated iu
government vaults, and in the hands
of bankers.
beuor Don Manuel Azpiroz. the
new Mexican Ambassador to the U.
8., has just arrived iu Washington.
He speaks Eugliah and keops up with
the newspapers, as may be judged by
his having said, iu an interview:
"Naturally my main purpose in coming
to Washington, is to strengthen
the good relations between the U. 8.
and Mexico in every way possible,
and in particular to develop tho trade
and commerce which two good neighbors
should have with each other. I
notice that your papers reproduce
Mexican press comments on the recent
utterances of Cecil Rhodes, prophesying
the absorption by the U. 8. of
Central and bouth American coun
tries; but this press comment is purely
unofficial, and in no way reflects the
wiews ot the govern moat Mr. Rhodes
it an interesting character and tho
papers were quick to eeiza uj?on his
utterance aud opinion oi any private
individual- Of the silly charge nindo
by a paper published in the city oi
Mexico, that American rule was adding
te the depravity of Cuba, the
Ambassador said: "That is a Spanish
paper, and tho views expressed nre
merely those of the ultra Spanish rh?meat,
but not those of the Mexican
people. No significance should !>,.
attached to the utterances, simplv because
they are made iu Mexico. Only
a small number of our peoplo are pro
Spanish by reason of auceatry or relationship.
Tho great bulk of the
people treat such matters with indifference,
aud regard the U. S. as thjir
nearest aud Itect fiionri."

r EFFECTS OF TK\ INING.
i
, The Influence of Surroundings
[ Upon the Habits and Destinies
of Young People.
' Cities, Stale j and nations are proud
of their distinguished sons; schools
and collogea publish lists of their
famous graduates to provo the value
> of tho instruction given them, and
elemeulry schools never fail to nuoutiou
the great men who were staited
in lifo from thoir portals. The dis1
tiimtinn han hppn won hr ihn mnn
' themselves, but everybody associated
with them iu any way claim a share
of the honor. Nor are the** claims
wholly unreasonable. The course
1 even of a man of genius is largely 1etermined
by his environment. If he
should rise abovo the common level,
1 the presumption is that he had good
training in or out of school. The city
or State that sends forth great men
may fairly be presumed to have some
features of social life or custom favor
able to the development of genius.
A little town iu Pennsylvania has
given birth to & number of eminent
lawyers and politicians out of all pro?
portion to its population. It would
be interesting to trace, if possible, the
reasons for its eminence in this respect.
The people who settled in tniB town
were of a sturdy and intelligent race ;
they established good schools and it
became a custom in the community to
honor learning above anytbiug e!?j.
The youth who was born there iuher
ited a disposition to study and the
aviUDjr w ??v\juiic, |'l 1/ itluu itm iuruo
i'ur liis education and he waa stimulated
to effort by the traditions of his
birthplace aud the example of bis
predecessors. This much is known,
and under those favorable influences a
large uumbjr of men distinguished in
State and national life have growu up
in Hellotoute.
No very broad conclusions can be ,
drawn from this or similar observa
lions, but it seems roasonable to conclude
that the influence known as on
vironmeut may be favorable to the
development of taleat. The offsets of (
training have bee-i frequently observ.
ud. A preparotcry school gains a repu ,
talion because its students are the
honor men of cillegos and uuiversi
ties; the head master dies, and in the ,
coursj of time it loses its reputation, ,
NVecaunot aflirui that it that it has
(similar material to deal with, but it ,
appears to he similar and yet it does
not meet with i s old?time success. It
is a lair inference that the instruction ,
given is nut of the same quality. Its ,
courses of study may remain the same, ,
but there is lacking the inspiration of ,
a real teacher. The pupils are 110 ,
longer well grouuded in their etuoies
and no longer distinguish themselves
in after lite.
This, at least, s-eras to bo a fair iu
feience, for wheu we turu to less com
plex problems of traiuing, such as
that < f tho lower animals, we know
beyond doubt that training counts for
almost as much a* natural ability.
The pedigree of a horse counts for '
(something, his training for a great I
deal, and the jockey who iides him h
often the prime factor iu a race. It is i
possible that the same factors deter <
mine the course of man, though it is
difficult for ua to determine the factors
in his case, His pedigree is not care 1
fully kept, or if kept, is not as easily
measured as that of a horse; of his
training we can have littlo knowledge,
so numerous are ths influences brought
t) bear upon him, nor do we know
anything about the impulses that ride
him like a jockey in his race. We may,
however, fairly infar that tramiug
counts for something, and that it is
therefore our duty to surround the
growing boy or girl with as many iu
fluences for good as possible.
The school training should be
thorough, even though it should not
be carried very far. Deficiencies iu
that respect may be mads up in after
life, provided a good foundation boa
been laid. But above all, the home
training and the traiuing of social life
should be made wholosome and aleva
ting. The city, state or nation which
has done its duty in promoting educational
influences can be juitiy
proud of those of its sous who may
have distinguished themselves; so also
the schools and colleges may share iu
niv uuuuii mm ujr tuvir
provided tbey have giveu souud traiu
ing and proper direotiou to their papila.

MANUFACTURE OF MATCHES !
la One of the Large* ami Moat Important
of lntl utile*.
The manufacture of matches, trivial
as it may seem, is one of the largest
and most important existing. So large
an amount of money is invested in
their manufacture that in France it is
a Government inoropcly and a considerable
portion of the revenue of the
State is derived frcm this source. The
yearly value of the matches made in
England alone is said to amount to
nearly $10,000,000 each year, and that
the numbers that the makers turn out 1
daily exceed 300,000,000. In France I
the Government monopoly is let to a
company , for a minimum annual pay- i
ment of over $5,000,000. with a great
increase if a certain number is exceeded.
Among the largest factories
in Europe are these of the Scandinavian
ponlusula and England. In Germany,
however, thero arc between 200

material phosphorus, which is employ- I 1
ed In the manufacture, between 1,000
and 2,000 tons are annually consumed.
The general character of phosphorus
is that of an exceedingly lnllammnble
substance, burning slowly in tho open
air and shining with a luminous appearance
in the dark. In this state it
is one of the most poisonous substances
known, less than two grains
having been known to cause the death
of an adult human being, and innumerable
cases have occurred of children
being poisoned by sucking the
ends of a few matches.
On the other hand, heated without
exposure to the air for some short time
the phosphorus changes into a red
powder, which is perfectly insoluble
in water, not combustible and not in ,
the slightest degree poisonous. In
this latter state it is mixed with other
substances and placed on the outside,
of tho boxes of what are termed safety
matches. These matches consist of
non-poisonous chemical materials that
will not Ignite when struck on any or- ,
dinary surface, but arc immediately
set on fire by rubbing 011 tho box, t
whicb is covered with a preparation of
innocuous red phosphorus.
But, unfortunately, the public at
large prefers matches which will ignite .
when struck on any surface and the
manufacture of these is necessarily attended
with risk to the workers, the
people who arc most seriously affected ,
being the girls who pack the finished
matches in tho boxes in which they are
sola. ity practice their dexterity he- ,
conies so great that they almost invariably
take up in one hand the exact
number required.

When members of the queen's family
or any wandering German relatives
of high degreo visit London and occupy
apartments in Buckingham palace,
"by Invitation," they pay their board
just like common folks in a first-class
hotel. This prevents the sovereign
lady from having too much company
and makes things very pleasant for
the palace servants. Tko independence
It gives some of the royal guests is not
wholly appreciated by them, but, as the
queen early in her reign determined
on this economical course, her subjects
cannot Justly complain of her extravagance.
It is a very expensive pieco of
pleasure, being a guest of royalty, and
even tho queen's own children must
pay their way out of their allowances,
when not directly under mamma's roof.

the growing plant are trained with the

Australia is an Ideal country foi
tramps because of its universal hospitality
and delightful climate. There ur<
no hardships of weather, no dangerous
wild beasts to con'.end with, very few
clothes required, a ^d there is seldom o
night, up-country r-t least, that a man
may not roll hlmse'f in his blanket ane
sleep in comfort.

tramp of Australia. He has so long
been recognized r-s a necessary evl!
that at most stations a "travelers' hut'
is now provided for his special accommodation;
and a regular ration, usunlly
a pannikin of Hour and a pound oi
meat, is served out to every applicant
In other places, moro democratic
the sundowner takes his seat at th?
table in tho men's quarters. Ho can
always depend upon his supper, bed
and breakfast at any station; and h?
usually steals or begs from tho cook
sufllcient to make a hearty midday
meal. If the distances between stations
are too far to he traveled in c
single day. tho swngsman rolls himsell
in his blanket and camps by the roadside.
If the distance be but a few
miles, ho revels in a genuine holiday
picnics for the day, perhaps, under the
shado of a giant gum tree and arrives
at the station homestead, with all th?
appearance of a lODg day's walk, Just as
the sun is setting.
The Australian tramp is of a type
wholly different from the ignorant
low-bred scum of humanity that one
meets in some countries, and from th?
whining, professional beggar of Europe
and America.
As a class these tramps are well informed,
fairly moral, and, as the worlc
goes, honest. Tho sundowner stands
apart from the rest of his kind, inasmuch
as he never begs for money.
He will ask for a pipeful of tobaccc
or a drink, a meal or a bunk, but foi
tho coin of tho realm he does not petition.
He is a contented philosopher
with all tho instincts of a nobleman;
born, of course, under an unlucky star
yet satisfied with his lot so long as h<
is not obliged to work, and so long ai

One is constantly surprised at the
speech and manners of those whom one
meets on the road, and It is probable
that fully cnc-third are men who were
born of gentle parents in tho "oldei
countries." Australia being an Englist
colony, the sundowner is usually s
native of the Firilish Isles, thougt
there is a sprinkling of other nationalities
in proportion to their number It
the colonics. It is due to the nativeborn
Australians tc say that they seldom
turn tramps.
Although against his principles, it
must be said, to the sundowner's credit
that he docs sometimes wou-k. There
nrc times when evon he feels the neec
of a change.
At shearing time, when the sheds
are full of jolly shearers and gooc
wages may be demanded, he will ofter
work for a few weeks; or he may fine
sonic other easy way that suits his fastidious
fancy.
With tho proceeds he buys himself t
few clothes, perhaps, and "knocki
down" (spends) the remainder in the
first bush public. Some there are whe
wander aimlessly from one colony tc
another, ever seeking new paths;
others, more methodical, have a regular
route laid out, whidh takes front
two to three years to dover. In thb
way they do not visit the same statlor
often enough to be recognized.
Sundowning is the outgrowth of th?
boundless and unequalled hospitalitj
of the Australian bush. The occaslona
