Our tackle, urteen aays, closed tonight with a ue - V . ..- ! oantnta. ntitlv1 "TTrirlor tho Palme" consisted of stout rods, a reel with GOO feet of 21-thread bass line, to the end of which was attached a drum hook andj a lead sinker weighing 10 ounces. iMott" quickly baited our hooks in the style most alluring to his drumship, and we cast out ready for business. '"Casting out" for drum is no easy mat ter, and is done as follows: With all your line wound in, you grasp your rod at the butt, and with a finger on the brake of the reel, you swing -the pole forward so the sinker and hook Is cent hurling through the air and falls among the breakers 150 or 200 feet away. This being sueessfully done ly each of us, we were ready for the drum. After a surprisingly short wait I heard a reel sing as it unwound with lightning-like rapidity, and looking up I saw Mr. Kennedy's line apparently running away from him, and his rod acting as though it wanted to get away also. But neither happened, and Boon Mr. Kennedy had reeled in an 18 pound drum. Scarcely bad he cast out again, when I noticed that Dr. Everitt was' having difliculty in holding on to bis rod. There was something at the end of Ills line, and that something was a drum. . Somehow, the Doctor's rod didn't curve and bend like Mr. Kennedy's. It was straight out, and Ihis line was fast leaving the reel Hold your rod up, Doctor!" yelled Mr. Kennedy, but the Doctor didn t hear, Then I yelled,- "Doctor, hold your rod up." The Doctor applied his brake, however, and the mad rushes of the fish were soon stopped, but it seemed a difficult matter to keep that rod iheld up. But the Doctor is a fisherman alright enough, and he was soon gloating over the possession pf a 25 pound drum. I hadn't even had the Buspicionpf a nibble, much less a bite, and I was feeling melancholy; but my time was, coming. In a very few minutes Mr. Kennedy had another Btrike, andVan immense red back drum .broke theJsvater 200 feet away. With marvelous swiftness the fish run up the beach and crossed over my line.

M'L ATJGHLIN' S FATEFUD RIDE. How a Recent Fever Victim Prevented a Battle in Porto Rico. Philadelphia Press. The death of Lieutenant McLaugh lin of the Signal Corps, who died of yellow fever at Santiago, recalls a dramatic incident, in which he was one of the principal actors, during th j campaign in Porto Rico. Lieutenant McLaughlin had charge of a squad which built a telegraph line along the route of the American ad vance on the night of August 12th. The Signal Corps men could not keep pace with the advance of the infantry and artillery, Jn command of General (Brooke, and when the lat:r faceda line of Spanish intrenchraents the tel egraph line was two miles in the rear. At 1 o'clock of August 13th the mes sage came to Lieutenant McLaugh lin's station that the peace protocol nau oeen signea. inere wa? no way to get to Brooke but ride It, and the lieutenant, accompanied by an orderly, started to make the trip. .Mounting his horse, he started at a gallop, and his ride will go down In history as one of the mos dramatic ever made on a of the most dramatic ever made on a When he reached the lines of infan try that were supporting the artll'erv he was told that the guns were about to open fire on the enemy, an 1, real'z- . (Mr. Kennedy saw that complications i would arise unless the lines were un ' crossed, and he called to me to reel in a little and come under his line. This I started to do, but found I couldn't My line was hung. Then to my aston- ment, my rod was almost yanked out of my hand, and the whole Atlantic ocean seemed hooked to the end of my line. Great Scott, I had a drum (or he had me, I didn't know which for a few minutes). Good Lord, how that fish pulled. Pressing the brake to the extent of my ability, the line still ' went out. "Hold up your rod, Whit," yelled the Doctor. I tried, and then I found why the Doctor hadn't held his up. You understand. But the hook was securely fastened and my tackle was good and his drum ship finally succumbed, and I reeled him in and proudly saw "Mott" gaff him and haul him in the boat, and he tipped the scales at 24 1-2 pounds. After the battle, I discovered that was physically exhausted, had knocked the skin off my hand in the fight, and fthat Mr. Kennedy had managed to get his line over mine in some way and landed his fish. Goodness knows I had nothing to do with the uncrossing of the lines I was too busy; in fact I'had forgotten they were crossed. The rising of the tide on the shoals put an end to the sport and the four were all we caught, but there was glory enough, and we sailed back to ' theliotel with two of us very jubilant over our victory in our first contest with the drums. x i jSQOIAL NOTES. One of the most delightful events of the week was a prize flsMne: nartv igiven by Mrs. Sherwood H1ggs com-! the principal Interior city of China, some 000 miles, and that a Belgian syndicate has a concession for con struction of a road from Hankow north to connect with the existing line now reaching Peking, the capital of China; also that the American syndi cate has an option for the right to construct this Hankow-Peking line providing the Belgian syndicate shall omit to take advantage of Its conces sion. From Peking a road will con nect with the RussIanJSiberlan line which Is now under construction to Port Artuur, thus making the pro posed American line an important link in a great system which will stretch from St. Petersburg by way. of Siberia and Port Arthur through China to Canton on the coast of China, Imme diately opposite the Philippine Islands, only 000 miles away. From Canton westward .through Southern China British Interests have projected railway lines to the south western extremity of China where they will connect with the present rail way system of Burmah and turn-with that of India, where 20.000 miles of railway are now In operation..- From the western terminus of the Indian railway lines at Karachi to the point In Persia toward which Russian en gineers are now pushing surveys for railway line is but a few , hundred miles-a gap easily filled whenever Britsh interests find It advantageous to encourage direct railway Intercourse between Indian and the railway sys tems of Southern Europe.
