THE ONLY FILTERING SYSTEM THE RAMAPO SCHEMERS APPROVE OF.
Howard Gregg, of Chicago, was speaking yester-day at the Hotel Imperial of the uses and abuses
of the fee system as practised oy
AMERICANS Americans. "W« carry the matterAND THE to excess," said Mr. Gregg, andFEE SYSTEM, exercise neither discretion nor
common sense In the way we be-stow our gratuities, besides which we give to alarge number of servants who have no right toexpect a fee. Ikept tab on !tone day recently, andthis Is the result: Breakfast, feed waiter 15 cents;sent bellboy out for a couple of morning papers,gave him 5 cents; got shaved feed barber 5 centsand boy that brushed me oft a cents: got my shoespolished at Tony's, gave boy 5 cents extra; sent anote by messenger, gave boy 10 cents; made threecalls at three different hotels, in each case gavebellboy 10 cents; luncheon, feed a quarter; sat tn acafe with some friends, and altogether feed waiterwho served us 40 cents; took Turkish bath, andgave man \u25a0who rubbed me down a quarter; hadthree friends to a good and expensive dinner, andgave waiter tl: we went to a roof garden andho-srht a and then cave asher a quartereach to find us chairs; had supper, and feel waiter60 cents, and finally gave bellboy 10 cents for bring-ing a pitcher of ice water to my room. That footsup $3 50 for the day. Ididn't think Iwas feeingovermuch at the time, but T must confess that Iwas appalled by the 'demnltlon' total. That comesto something like C2OO a year, and there are locsof men who fee twice as mu^h as that every dayof their lives. Of course, with a man like myselfthis is exceptional, ,but Ithink tt must run up to1600 a year with me right along. When you stopto look that lift over there is a lot of overfeeingthere. an<l a number of fees that are uncalled for.Many Americans
—and Iam one of them
—fee be-
cause they fear to be thought mean. Ifthey thinka servant expects a gratuity they straightway giveit to him. whether he is entitled to it or not Thisthey do simply and solely to purchase the goodopinion of that particular servant. Itis too silly,and Iam going to try to call a halt on it."
OJIBWAYS PRESEXT "HIAWATHA."
"Inotice," said Colonel Jacob Kampte. at theFirth Avenue Hotel yesterday, "that Mr. Bryan is
willing to make almost any oldBRTAN*S Issue paramount tn the campaign 12"PARA- it win catch ,vcte* for him. HaMOUNT** makes a speech of acceptance, andISSUES. declares that Imperialism Is the
paramount issue. Ha makes an-other speech and says there Is no more ImportantIssue than IS to 1. Then he makes another speechand declares that the trusts must be consideredthe most important Issue. Somehow he remindsme of the fellow that was "broke" down in Arkansasand heard that a district school was in want of ateacher. The fellow hunted up the trustee andapplied for the Job of teaching the school. Saidthe trustee: 'We discharged the last teacher wehad belease he had a fool notion that the worldwere round. Some of us believe she Is flat. Howwould you teach her. round or flat?* And the fel-low scratched hts head and replied: "Well, I'm notpertlckeler about that, and Iwant the Job of teach-ing, so I'llteach round or flat. Just as you like.'Ithink Mr. Bryan is not particular as to whatissue is paramount, so long as he gets the Job heIs after.
THE PASSING THRONG.
General Warren writes to "The Times" to say
that various statements which have recently ap-peared in the press purporting to be views ex-pressed by him as to recent events in South
Africa have been made entirely without his au-thority; that he has not expressed any opinions•with Iview to publication, and that some of theEiatements attributed to him are contrary to
tact
Caartss W.lllamn. the well known military ex-|»rt. believes L#ord Roberts ha« the present in-
*-^turning to England In the course
ef Oetehsr. so as to be ready to relieve LordNovember 1as commander- in-chief
cf las Brttisk army. In such event GeneralJrjller rr.ey be asked to resume command of
tite forces in South Africa.
{THAT LONDON HOPES IS THE FINAL
STAGE OF THE AFRICAN WAR.
ICbprrt*«;****B* Tb*K«»-T««rtt Tritroa*.]
[BT CABXJi TO TBZ TBIBTTKB.]
j^coiot, Aug. 29. 1 ft. m.—There la much ln-unstlfn to believe that the operations in whichr.Roberts Is now engaged against General
,j^ jje destined to form the final stage of!!L Saotb African war from a Pretoria report,.jyHfl. to the effect that the Boers In the_^jyv»al capital believe that Botha will aban-
the contest Itbeaten on this occasion, andXmiPresidents Kruger and Steyn will then fleeio'Delagoa Bay. But these rumors have beenrepeated and proved fallacious frequently
—gafb before, and itis Impossible to pronounce\u0084j>3«te!y that th* Boer leaders believe the limitgf resilience to have been reached. The reap-
pjjjuac* of De Wet In the Orange Free State,
UiS the activity of the Boers on Bullets com-gsosfcatlons in Natal, would rather point theptiier way. IfIt had been determined to stake
iryth'ng on the r*sn!t°*
Botha's stand In the
mfmtrrr.Transvaal, it would hardly seem worth
»hil« to revive the campaign in other quarters.
So far the operations between the Boer andBrit*^ main armies have been somewhat in-ttdtlvt. Movements, as Lord Roberts says InMf aigpatch of Monday evening, are neces-(gjilyclow on account of the great extent andgjflcalt nature of the country which forms the
lera« of the battles. He, however, considers hismalice going on satisfactorily, and regards
General Buller's engagement of the 27th as anfcjpcrtact success. The result of the day's
lphur.r was that the Boers withdrew their line\u25ba• \u25a0 \u25a0\u25a0 two miles, allowing Buller to capture
fe* strong position within their outer semi-circlecf defences west of the Dalmanutha railway
station. The question now arises whether the
British will be able to force the fighting so as|r hold the enemy In position and compel himto accept the defeat which superior numbersBui more powerful artillery should be able to
Infect, or Is the nature of the country such, thatGeneral Botha, though driven back from oneTantajfe ground to another, will eventually be
£b!e to retreat In time and save his guns andtransport Ifprevious experience is a guide the
£.-*rt \u25a0Dl delay the British advance as long
mf they can do bo safely, but willthen retire at
Jeiscre before the Invaders can secure a decisivejrictcry.

ROBERTS SUCCEEDS TVOLSELET.
tHE HERO OF CANDAHAR AND PAARDBJ-BERO NOW HEAD OF THE BRITISHARMY.
Lot Boa Aug. 29.—"The DallyMai!" this morn-
Ing s&ye it has the highest authority for the as-
sertion that Lord Roberts has already succeededlord "Wolseley as CommandeT-m-Chlef of theBritish army.
Itis stated that fighting with Botha's com-Eaudoee was resumed this morning. TheBoers* lines were broken, and the enemy Is fall-Isgr back. The British casualties are reportedto be considerable.
London, Aug.28.—
Lord Roberts report*, under£ate of Belfast. August 27, as follows:
Our movement* are Blow, on account of theextent and nature of the country- To-day webade a satisfactory advance and met with de-ciied success. The work fell entirely to Bul-ier'e troops, and resulted In the capture of Ber-gendal, a very strong position two miles north-west of Dairnar.utha. Imet Buller at Ber-gendal shortly after It was reached by ourtroops. Iam glad to find the occupation costless than was feared, on account of the ap-proach being across an open glacis for two orthree thousand yards, and the determined standof the enemy. The InniFkillings and SecondE136 Erlgade formed the attacking- party. Thelatter suffered most. Ihope the casualties dotot exceed fifty or elxty. One officer was killedsad two were wounded. A good many BoersWere killed, and a pompom (quick-firing gun)was captured.
French advanced on the left to Evirtzkopjes,on the enburg road, and prepar
'the way
tat, the movement of Pole-CareWs division to-morrow.
Baies-Powell reports that he occupied Nyl-eaxicm without opposition. As the country wherehe sad Paget are operating Is dense bush andveldt, it is not desirable at the present to pro-ceed further north, and their troops are re-tsming to Pretoria.
Aspecial dispatch from Pretoria* dated AugustT. says:

LOSOPELLOWS FAMILY WITNESS THU REPRO-
DUCTION OF THE FAMOUS LEGEND.
Montreal. Aug. 28 (Special).—Miss Alice Long-
fellow and other members of the family of thepoet. H. W. Longfellow, are at present visiting
Desbarats. where they are the guests of the OJlb-way Indians, who are giving open air dramaticrepresentations of "Hiawatha." The first perform-ance was given a month ago. and it has been re-peated at various times since. Desbarats is a littlevillage on the north shore of Lake Huron, thirtymiles east of Sault Bte. Marie, Ont. There isa populous OJlbway encampment In the neighbor-hood, and there the red man is still to be seenIn miv»h of his primitive pleturesQueness. Theparty of visitors from Boston Is livingin wig-wams.
The Initiative Insecuring the presentation of thelegend was taken by L.O. Armstrong, of Montreal.and Francis "West, of Boston, two men deeplyversed in Indian lore. They had no difficulty inenlisting the Interest of the OJibway chiefs in theenterprise, for the legend Is a tribal one. wellknown in Its outline to every member. The partof Hiawatha Is taken by Kabaoosa, nephew to theold chief Bukwuggtnlnt who gave the legend to
Schoolcraft. from whom In turn Longfellow ob-tained it. The Darts of Minnehaha and Kokomlsare also taken by members of this chiefs family.
The play is produced on the shore of the lake Inthe shade of some great pines. The first act•depicts the meeting of the warriors in council at
the summons of the Gltchee Manito. After hi3address they wash the war paint from their facesIn the lake and smoke the calumet. Subsequentscenes show Hiawatha being educated by Nokomis;
Hiawatha's Journeys to the West; his meeting andthe wooing of Minnehaha. The wedding feast Isreproduced with great attention to detail as tocostumes and customs. Many national dances arereproduced. The last act depicts the departureof Hiawatha. After his farewell address Hiawathastrides down to his canoe, paddle in hand, pushesIt off, and standing erect In It with the paddleresting on the bottom of the canoe, moves swiftlyand mysteriously over the waters to the west-ward. The mechanical device by which this effectis produced Is very mystifying.
The Intention is to have this representationyearly if sufficient Interest is taken In it by thepublic.

TBF WEATHER REPORT.
The Republican minority will wait for the Demo-
cratic majority to take the initiative. The Demo-crats held a caucus to-night to fillvacancies andconsider changes in the election law. There arescores of election bills for caucus consideration.
Both sides admit that the vote on the repeal ofthe Goel>ei law will be close. The Democrats say
that the Senate will be a tie—lS to 19—but that inthe House the Democrats have a comfortable ma-jority, and can defeat an outright repeal. Repub-lican leaders say they will have a majority of onein the Senate In favor of the repeal, and have a
Sood chance of carrying the bill through the[ouse.
Imaginary lHs, whether political or physical,should be treated as well as real ones. Tour taskInthis matter is a difficult one. You cannot satisfyeverybody.

PLAGUE OABES AT GLASGOW,
DESCRIPTION OF THE WARSHIP.
The battleship Alabama, authorized by Congress
June 10, 1896. was launched on May 18, 1888. atCramps' shipyard, in Philadelphia. In the opinion
of American constructors \u25a0It represents an efficienttype of battleship, and new ships are practically
to duplicate this type, but -with a speed of eighteenknots, twenty feet longer and about one thousand
tons greater displacement. The dimensions of the
Alabama are as follows: Length on load water-
line. 368 feet: beam, extreme, 72 feet 2 Inches;
draught on normal displacement of 11.525 tons, 23
feet 6 Inches; maximum displacement, all ammuni-
tion and stores on board. 1i,326 tons; maximum In-
dicated horse power (estimated), 10,000; probable
speed. 161* knots; normal coal supply. 800 tons;
rull bunker capacity. 1,400 to 1.500 tons; comple-
ment of officers, 40: seamen and marines, 441
The main battery consists of four 13-Inch breech-loading rifles in Hlchborn balanced turrets, oval in
shape, and placed on the centre line of the vessel;
fourteen 6-lnch rapid tire guns. The secondary
battery consists of sixteen «-pounder. four I-
pounder rapid fire guns, two Colt guns and two
field guns. There are four torpedo tubes. Th» 13-
inch guns have an arc of fir* of 135 degrees on«a.eh side of the centre line, and the 6-inch gunsan arc of 90 degrees on the broadside, with the ad-vantage to those on the upper deck of a direct fireahead or astern. Any injury to or near either ofthese 6-inch guns willbe confined to its own com-partment, as a lVi-inch steel splinter bulkhead sep-arates each gun from Its neighbor.
The armor belt, which extends from the sternto abaft the after turret. is I6h* Inches thick at thetoD and BV4 inches thick at the botton. except atthe forward end, where it tapers to 4 Inches atthe stern. Thin belt armor extends from four feetbelow the normal load line to three and one-halfft-at above It and maintains the full thickness. _i.iahin,between the turrets and for the dls-{ ...r '

After the speed trial had ended the starboard
bow anchor, weighing nearly eight tons, wassent overboard in twenty-eight fathoms of wa-ter. It was then hove to and catted.
The Alabama willstart for Philadelphia, prob-ably in the morning tide. Just before daybreak.
Among the guests on board were Rear Ad-miral Hempdon, U. B. N.; Captains Behr andFernson and Lieutenants Sverbleff and Vasilieft,
of the Imperial Russian Navy; Judge J. K. Mc-
Cammon and General O. D. Williams, of "Wash-ington; Conrad A. Diehl, of Buffalo, and George
6. Graham, of Philadelphia.
Total elapsed time on the return, 1:57:30, anaverage speed of 16.85 knots. The Kearsarge
made the run In 1:56; average speed, 16.37knots.
The trial to-day was under direction of theBoard of Inspection and Survey, headed by RearAdmiral Frederick Rodger*.
TTME OF THE RUN.
The run out—
Total elapsed tin. \ 1:55:27.Average speed for 33 knots, 17.1Dknot- an hour.The Kearsarge made the run In 1:54: ly. Aver-age speed, 17.32 knots.
The trial throughout, to use Z. 8. Cramp's ownwords, was a success In every particular. Toquote a member of the engineering; force, the
trial was a perfect one. For nearly three legs
of the outward run the boilers made steam so
fast that the surplus was allowed to blow off.At the same time the men, Inboth engine and.stoke rooms Buffered no ineenve^lence from lack
of freeh air. and the temperatures were nothigh. The maximum revolutions of the engine
reached was 118, and this figure was only fora harf-hour, the mean being much below this.The highest steam pressure was 180 pounds, ornine under the limit. The horse power de-veloped was supposed to be 11.500. although
this flgTire, like those for the speed, willbe offi-cially given at Washington. Mr. Cramp fur-
ther saM that the run. Inhis opinion, In whichmany of the naval men aboard agreed, was nota forced trial, but a fair day's work, which, hethought, could be equalled at any time underordinary conditions. Moreover, he said that thetrial was the most remarkable the country hasseen. The Alabama will be ready for deliveryto the Government in six weeks, when she willgo Into commission under Captain W. H.Brownson.

K&arsarge, and as the Alabama went by. now jat great speed. Captain Folg-er had his Jackie*lined up to chew. This is not customary, butthe great yell which went up as the Alabamawent by seemed to gather force as It sweptover the waves, and a cheer went back. Thefourth mark was the Kentucky, the fifth theIndiana, and the outward mark, which was notfar out to sea from Boone Island, was theMassachusetts. This latter ship was passedshortly after 12:30 o'clock, and then the Ala-bama had a few evolutions to test her helm, themasses of green water being churned up Insmothers of foam by her propellers as she went
first to starboard and then to port, the crossseas dashing hlgrh into the air as they met inconcentric circles, all making a beautiful sirht.
A BROOM AT MASTHEAD.The return of the Alabama over the course
had littlemore of moment than the run out. Shecrossed the finish line about 3:30, with a blastfrom her own whistle and a like answer fromthe Texas and a fleet of tugs gathered therewith excursionists. Afterward the ship wasagain circled at full speed, with the Texas as theoentre, until sho was cleaving a wake which In
diameter was not over twice her length. Fifteenminutes later the Alabama was headed for Bos-
ton Light the red flag of the trial had beenreplaced by the Cramps' house flag, and a broom
had been cent aloft.
