Streets parade, brum bands, lire work?, speochas aud ill that sort of things; but a feature of tbe occasion which isdeserving of note wns the readiog of the Declaration of Independence by Cuiplaiu Knn Isdeu, f tin Washington Regimeut. We presume, of course.that tho Chaplain's audience wa so filled with the fervor f enthusiasm, and, perhaps, with N'iriN of a less transitory but equally inspiring influence, that they were "ot in condition to understand its meaning, and that the Uoaumeut was feid moro as a matter of form than for anything else. By tho way, the Administration, following up its late etiblisbed precedent, Bhould put a stop to the circulation iu Manila of such "editions liteiature a? the Declaration "f Independence. Mr. Choate, our Ambassador to England, made ft Fourth of July 'peech in London, but uufortunely the Associated Pross cabled only ono extract from it, and this extract to us seems rather ambiguous to say tho 'east. Mr. Choate said: "When au American, on heariug that I was to come to England, crie I 'it "God save the Ojieen,' he com- pitteed mv outfit, for when a mnn couples 'prosperity to the American people with that other sentiment he gives an Americau ambassador theful est credentials and all the diploma he need." We prefer to believe that tho Press unintentionally, of course, did Mr Choate n injustice in the selection o ioe extract it cableo to America, and that there preceded or followed thi itraot explanatory statements which KS4t Hi Kianica cleir, As it it we r&7 kfisw that Mr. Cheat was tnukla !t rafiUfcl(rf)nt Alliance. peecb, Aq4 rutting two and two together, we be- ieve we have pretty fair comprehen of Mr. Choate's meaning. P.nt what could tho Americau hare meant, ho, on hearing that Choate was to go to England, was so filled with alarm f.r her safety, that he exclaimed . Got Ktivo tho tjuecn." We have lizard of nothing in Mr. Choate's pre vious career to justify such apprehen sion ; ar.J we submit this more by way of inquiry than of comment. ThT a. AND M. COLLEGE.

The loss of life will never be fully know, perhaps; the bottoms were thickly set tled, mostly with negro tenant farmers. Among these has been the greatest loss of life. To show the damage done the follow ing estimates hnve beeu made by men who are in a position to know: Lives lost from tOO to 300; loss to farmers, including crops as well as live stock from $5,000,000 to 15,000,000; damage to railroads and country bridges $2,000,000 to 4,000,000.

It is not believed that all of I them will ever be recovered. The Peace Conference. The Haoue, By Cable.
