Nearly All the National Committee
men on Hand for the Convention—Pan
Francisco and New York no Longer
la the Race—Cincinnati or Chicago
Most Likely to Capture the Conven
tion.
Washington , Nov. 22.—The triangle
formed by the Arlington, the red
bouse and the white house, is just
now the most interesting political figure la
the country. The fact that this was the
Sabbath did not prevent the national com
mitteemen and other republican statesmen
from running from point to point all day
and evenlug. The President went to
enurch in the morning and Secretary
Elaine did not, but otherwise they spent the
day very much alike in receiving their re
spective friends among the visiting states
men. Neither mode any formal declara
tion in favor of any particular city, for ob
vious reasons, but their friends all know
that they prefer the west, that Secretary
Biaine does not care where it is in the west,
and that President Harrison does not want
it at either Chicago or Cincinnati. If they
did not know this latter fact in any other
way Russell B. Harrison, who haunts the
Arlington, would keep them informed of it.
THE EAR IN FULL BLAST.
At the Arlington the bar ran on full time
all day and all the evening, but less intoxi
cation was apparent than last night. Per
haps this was due to the fact that the Cali
fornia champagne and the private side
boards at the other headquarters were closed
us a mark of respect to the day. The talk
wont rignt on, though, publioly and pri
vately. The junta of managing committee
men held several conferences behind locked
do >ra in Chairman Clarkson’s rooms, but if
tiiey came to a conclusion, they did not tell
their colleages on the committees generally.
It was stated however that they had deter
mined not to let New York or San Fran
cisco get the convention, and were in favor
of oith r Chicago or Cincinnati, preferring
the latter. Certainly some of the shrewdeßt
members of the committee pi edict that Cin
cinnati will get it.
COST OF THE CONVENTION.
Whichever city is selected will have made
in some terms such au offer as San Francis
co has mode to pay the indebtedness of the
i ational committee. This seems to be one
of the essential conditions. Chairman
Clarkson would, of course, blankly or per
haps iudignnutly deny it, but the monetary
considerations have been kept prominently
at the frout in all the delegations. All the
conlendiDg cities are not so noted for lavish
expenditures as San Francisco, all would not
he expected to pay #40,900 to the commit
tee, hut the successful one will have to pay
half of this sum, if not more. The national
committee must be honest and pay its debt
if it has to take this meaas to pay the
money, or “boodle” as its western members
call it.
FOKAKER ONE OF THE SHINING LIGHTS.
Ex-Gov. Foraker, who arrived to-day,
and who is the biggest man at the Arling
ton, where Ins brother Blaine men are giv
ing him great attention, has made Cincin
nati unexpectedly prominent. At the same
tuuo the trans-Mississippi combination looms
up formidably, and Minneapolis is thought
to be most likely to profit if it wins.
The New Yorkers, headed by Senator
lliseock and Col. Elliott F. Shepard, who
seems to have forgotten what day it wa9,
n a e themselves ridiculous by waiting
on v bairman Clarkson and solemning re
proaching him for having, as they alleged,
listened to au offer made by
Editor DeYoung for San Franoisoo to
pay the $4(J,000 estimated indebtedness of the
national committee if the convention was
given to Sail Francisco. Chairman Clark
son got mad aud told them that he wae not
present when any such offer was made;
that it was none of their business any way,
and that tholr visit was insulting, aud he
ended by showing them the door. No
d> übt is eutertaiued t hat the offer was
made, but Chairman Clarkson’s notion is
nevertheless commended by his colleagues
generally who will 6eo that what little
chance New York had is destroyed.
SAN FRANCISCO THROWN OUT.
At midnight the last conference of the
junta of the national committee broke up.
It had then determined that no free trans
portation or free entertainment sohemes
should be considered. This shuts out San
Francisco and leaves the Californians very
eugry. New York, Detroit and Pittsburg
were already thrown out by the junta.
Cincinnati, Minneapolis. Cnioago and
Omaha iu the order named are left, but.ex
®*pt that It seems from what the junta
dropped more likely to go to Cincinnati or
Minneapolis than anywhere elie, nothing
can be safely ventured as a prediction.
CHENEY ON HAND.
Ex-Gov. Cheney arrived this evening,had
a conversation with President Harrison and
another with Senator Chandler, and will re
present New Hampshire in the national
committee to-morrow, voting probably for
Miuneapolis or Umaho. He refused to talk
for publication about the ourrent beliof
that he will be Secretary Proctor’s successor
but privately intimates that he is willing.
BOSS BUCK LYING LOW.
Doss Buck isjhero, more secretive than
usual, but while mixing with the crowd at
the Arlington to-night he gave out that he
would represent Georgia in the committee
meeting. Beyond being for the adminis
tration and anti-Blaine, he did not seem to
know which city he would prefer. He is
supposed to be waiting to hear the last
arguments.

After the selection has been made, tbo

SAVANNAH, GA„ MONDAY, NOVEMBER 23, 1891.
BLAINE TO BE NOMINATED
THE COMMITTEE RALLY PROVES A
REGULAR RATIFICATION.
Even President Harrison Fees the
Handwriting' on tbe Wall—No Doubt
of Blaine's Willingness to Accept a
Nomination—A Breakdown In HU
Health Harrison’s Only Chance.
W ASHINOTON, Nov. 22.—Secretory Blaine
is to be nominated at the next national
republican convention, and he will accept
the nomination. These statements seem so
much more important to the men who be
lieve them to be facts in the motley throng
of statesmen and politicians drawn hero by
tbe meeting of the national committee that
they talk about them much more than they
do about where the convention is to be held.
Either as members of the commlttoo. mem
bers of the delegations representing cities
desiring tbs convention, or os lookers-on,
the managing men of tbe Republioan party
of most of the states are here.
WESTERNERS AND SOUTHERNERS.
The number of western and southern
leaders is particularly large. They (five
color to the whole gathering. With the ex
ception of a few office-holders and a few
personal friends of President Harrison, they
are mostly Blaine men. It is not strange
that the gathering at the Arlington seems
like a Blaine convention. There are, of
course, a number of Harrison men. Half
the prominent office-holders lu town, in
cluding Attorney General Miller and Post
master General Wauamaker, have been
there in tho past forty-eight hours, but
even their presence does not restrain the
exuberant Blaine men.
LOOK UPON IT A8 A RATIFICATION.
They talk as though the coming conven
tion was simply to boa ratification meeting
or a great popular nomination of Blaine.
Tbe basis of such enthusiasm is the report
brought by every one of the leading Blaine
men. who have during the past three days
called on Secretary Blaine, to the effect
that he is as well as ever and os anxious to
lead the republican hosts to victory. Ac
cording to them Secretary Blaine has all
his old-time graolousnes* as well as all his
old-time vigor.
ANXIOUS TO RE NOMINATED.
He is waiting and anxious to be enabled
to accept a nomination. He oannot of
course say so publicly. He cannot seem to
suok this nomination. He cannot make any
declaration on the subject. He denies with
emphasis and scorn the stories to the effect
that he has 1 een approached on the subject
by President Harrison or Attorney General
Miller. He does not think be will be so ap
proached and will not declare himself if he
is approached. But his friends may know
privately that their efforts to get him a
nomination by acclamation will not be
wasted so far as he is concerned.
GOING HOME TO WORK FOR HIM.
Asa result of these lutimatlons these
managing men are going back to their
states to organize the Blaine movement,
which they think will result in Secretars
Blaine’s nomination with practical unanim
ity. President Harrison, who they expect
to see withdraw in Secretary Blaine’s be
half, shows no disposition to do so. He and
his office-holders are cool, calm and con
servative and think be will be nominated
yet, although they confess that at present it
soems as though it would take another
break-down In Secretary Blaine’s health to
prevent Secretary Blaine’s nomination.
DB. M’GLYNN AND THE CHURCH.
He Telia Why He Cannot Accept the
Conditions for Reinstatement.
New York, Nov. 22.—Dr. Edward Me-
Glynn to-nigbt replied to the letter of the
propaganda, published with the approval of
the pope, which defines the conditions under
which Dr. McGlynn can once more enter
into the pale of Rome and of the Catholic
church. “As Archbishop Corrigan has
caused to be published an acoount of a
communication from the propaganda In
Rome concerning my case,” said Dr. Mc-
Glynn, “it is due to myself, my friends
and the publio that I should make a publio
answer. The Roman authorities, we are
told, are disposed to meroy, but that
no hearing of the case shall be granted only
ou conditions:
"First—That I must make the request
and state my grievances.
“Second—That I publicly condemn all
that I have said or" done of an insulting
character os against the archbishop and as
against the holy see.
“Third—That I be ready to obey orders
and submit to the judgment of the apos
tolic see.
“Fourth—That I promise to abstain from
any publio utteranoe or assistance at auy
meeting or matter under consideration.
"The penalties from whioh I may hopo
to be relievod by complying with these con
ditions are—
"l. Suspension from my ministry.
"8. Excommunioation.
"Earnestly as I should wish to exercise
my ministry and frequently to reoeive the
sacrament, it is not possible for me to bring
about so much by complying with the above
mentioned conditions.” [Applause.]

Paris, Nov. 22.—A luncheon was given
at the Kuasian embassy to-day hi honor of
M. de .Giers, tbe Russian minister of foreign

were laid for eighteen guests. Among
those present were Premier de Froycinet,
M. Kibot, French minister of foreign

ing an extended Interview with M. lUbot,
freely expressed his satisfaction with the
moderato and conciliatory ideas of the
French minister!!, which he said, were
identical with those entertained by the
Russian government.
RUSSIA WANTS A LOOPHOLE.

its issue of to day, expresses tho opinion
that a formal treaty between France and
Russia is now superfluous lnwiow of the re
cent Cronstadt fetes, on which occa
sion, it says, tbe community of
French and Russian interests was
solemnly affirmed. Tbe exchauge of verbal
declarations between tbe French and lius

the Novoe Vremya, a sufficient guarantee
of the stability of tbo present relations be
tween France and Russia, aud there is no
necessity for a formal written agreemout
between tbe two governments.

DOCTOUS COME TO BLOWS
A CARD IN A NEWSPAPER THE
CAUSE OF THE RUMPUS.
Drs. Julian P. Thomas and WlUtamP.
Nicholson tbe Belligerents Dr.
Thomas* Training tn a Young Men'a
Christian Association Gymnasium
stands Him in Good Stead and
Gives Him tbe Best of tbe Flgbt.
Atlanta, Ga. , Nov. 23.—For a year
past Dr. Julian P. Thomas has been profes
sor of dermatology on the faculty of the
Atlanta Medical College. He is a young
man of high social aud professional stand
ing, and a week ago when he violated pro
fessional ethios by inserting an ad
vertisement in tho local papers
bis friends were somewhat exoroised.
The newspapers took up the story
aud then Dr. Thomas sent in his resigna
tion as a member of the oollogo faculty.
Before thii> letter reached the faoulty, how
ever, Dr. William P. Nicholson wrote Dr,
Thomas a letter requesting him to discon
tinue his lectures until the faoulty could
take cognisance of his violation of profes
sional ethics.
THE LIE PASSED.
In an interview Dr. Thomas made some
statements which Dr. Nicholson did not
like, and he published a card. This oard.
Dr. Thomas olaimed, contained damaging
insinuations, and this morning he replied to
it, accusing Dr. Nicholson of falsifying.
About noon Dr. Nlcbolsoo, with a
friend, culled at Dr. Thomas’ office.
Ho was not there, however,
but bla father was in. Dr. Nicholson, who
was a stranger to Mr. Thomas, did not
lenvo his name, but suspecting who the vis
itors were Mr. Thomas notified his sou that
Dr. Nicholson was looking for him.
A FIGHT.
This afternoon just after dark, as Dr.
Thomas stepped into the hallway leading to
his office in the Chamberlain and Johusou
building, he came faoe to faco with Dr.
Nicholson. Both gentlemen had canes in
their hands. Without saying a word they
began pummelllug each other, finally roll
ing over on tbe muddy side
walk clinched. Dr. Stooey was
with Dr. Nicholson, but took no hand in
the fight, and they were finally pulled apart
by policemen. Dr. Thomas is not as large
a man as Dr. Nicholson, but hs Is a leader
in the Young Meu’s Christian Association
gymnasium and has muscles of Iran almost.
PROVED A GOOD FI OUTER.
Owing to his gymnastic training he suc
ceeded In warding off hla antagonist’s blows
and at the same time inflicting on the lat
ter’s faoe and head a number of outs and
bruises. Both gentlemen were arrested and
wifi be tried In tho polioe court. Dr.
Nicholson Is one of the most prominent
physicians in the oltv and is well known all
over the state, being a leader in the state
modioal society. The affair has created a
genuine sensation.

Macclenny. Fla., Nov. 22. —The can

would be In prooesa of construction by this
date, is hardly likoly to materialise this
year, as tbe parties in the north who were
interested in the venture, failed to get their
funds in available shave at the time agreed
upon.
The cigar factory rooently established

sibly fill, aud it is probable that its facilities
will be largely increased, if not doubled,
soon.

Montlcello’a Interest in Tobacco.
Monticello, Fla.., Nov. 22.— Quite a
number of our progressive citizens are or
ganizing themselves into a company for
the cultivation of tobacco. Tho extreme
low price of c >tton may prove the means
of showing that Jefferson county can grow
as fine tobacco as any lands in tho state.
The Mlccos mkie lake is going dry, a-id
some of our moneyed men are now speaking
of draining this lake, thereby imening for
cultivation thousands of acres of the finest
lands in the state.

CLEWS’ VIEWS.
What a Banker Has to Bay About
Financial Matters.
Nkw York, Nov. 21.—During the greater
part of tho pas*, week Wall street relapsed
into its old stagnancy; the partial re
vival of the previous week having proved
to be but a transient “room" ripple upon
the dead calm of speculation. Neither the
unexpectedly liberal gain in the bank
reeorve*. nor the equally unexpected
strength shown in the Bank of England
statement of last week, nor the gain of
per cent, in the Ootober gross earnings of
the railroads, have had any important effect
upon tbe market, and the transactions at
the stock exchange shrunk to about one
third the volume of a really active busi
ness. There has been a fsir investor’s
demand for bouda and first-class dividend
paying stocks; which indicates that, what
ever may tie said about the state of the
country at large, tho accumulation of wealth
is going °n at about tho usual rate.
This condition of the market seems singu
larly lubiinsistent with the largo hopes legit
imately based upon the commercial stimu
lus that must attend tbe distribution of our
extraordinary crops and tbe exportation of
probably an unprecedented quantity of
food producte. Tho insensibility of tho
stock market to these inspiring prospects is
no doubt due, in some measure, to a
quieter condition of the general trade of the
country than has been expected under the
uirounistances of a prosperous year for the
farmers. The measure of this quiet may be
Inferred from the fact that tbe current
bank oleariugs, at tbe seven principal cities
of the union, show a decrease of over 10
per cent., as oompared with a year ago.
To aocount for this disappointing state of
things, it is necessary to remember that it
is only twelve months siuoe we were in a
condition of financial panic, which has
been followed hy a reaction affecting busi
ness and values throughout the entire coun
try. A transition from panic to a high
boom within suoh a brief period Is too
much for prudent men to calculate upon.
The chief cause of tho prevailing inactiv
ity, however,is;to be found in thejKuropaan
markets. At present, tho financial oeuters
of the continent are exposed to a very sor
ious extent of sympathy with a variety of
unhealthy influerioes, most of which have
been long in operation and seems to be now
reaching a culmination. There, as in this
oouutry, there has been a great deal of re
volution In the organization of industry;
wbloh has resulted ii tbe formation of
large corporations, for tbe most part fl .atod
on an Inflated capitalisation aud financed
upnu loose speculative methods. The
bourses are glutted with these unstable is
sues, and in too many case)
tbe banks even are dangerously loaded
up with them and yet dare not force
them to sale. Again, the competition for
foreign commerce as between tbo European
States has been increasing in severity, with
profitless results and with consequent in
volvements to some of the commercial
banks that expose them to distrust.
Further, the Bering suspension and Houtb
American affairs generally have started an
industrial and commercial reaction through
out Europe, which is attended with declin
ing prices and with tbe obstructions to
credit that always attend such a slate of
things. These evils are aggravated bv a
failure of tho crops that threatens to deplete
Europe of the gold so greatly needed to
buttress tbe banns uuder such adverse con
ditions. Added to all this, there is a con
dition of international relations which
threatens to precipitate the great oonlliot
between tho eastern and western powers
which has been so long impending aud bos
each succeeding year seemed to become
more inevitable. The orop failures of Franoe
and Russia increase this danger, as they
afford a tempting opportunity for the
Brlebund to force the wearying disputes to
a settlement. Moreover, judging from
seemingly authentic outgivings, Germany is
preparing herself for serious action in tho
coming spring; although it Is possible those
intimations may be intended for diplomatic
effect rather thau to reflect actual pur
poses.
This Is tbe complication of infiuenoes now
agitating the Euiopean money centers, and
It cannot be denied that tho situation is au
unusually grave one, colliug for the utmost
conservatism, calmness and taking In of
sail throug out Europe. Naturally, under
suoh circumstances, there is an effort to
realize upon large amounts of the securities
of the goverumeuts most directly involved
in these dubious prospects. For tbe last
two or tbreo weeks both Paris and Berlin
have been selling largely of Rusuan issues,
the amount of whioh held in France is esti
mated at 2600,000,000 and In Germany at
$1,500,000,000. Tne bankrupt condition of
Spanish finances is also au ele
ment of dangor. The Bank of
Spain has oxceedeil the legal limit of
its note issues and proposes to further disre
gard its constitutional restraints; and while
confessing its inability to pay a temporary
loan from the Rothschilds of $10,000,000 is
asking for a further advance of $15,0(10,000.
And yet France is estimated to be holding
some $800,000,000 of Spanish securities of
one kind or another. Italv has been severely
hurt by Its recent panic, and ooufldeooa
cannot yet be said to be returning in Rome.
At Vionna the state of finances is one of
high tension; and nothing is being accom
plished toward restoring confidence in Por
tugal.
This is an unvarnished statement of the
present condition of finances iu Europeat
large, with a possible super-added great
war within six months. A graver sitnation
could hardly be oonceived, and be would be
a bold financier who would say that theso
influences oan have no bearing upon tbe
future of American securities. In my judg
ment, so long s* this s'ate of things con
tinues, an eye had better be kept to the
windward and conservative mi finds should
prevail. Still as tbe feeling in London is at
present showing some improvements, and
the Bank of England is showing some gam
In its rusorves, our market for securities is
entitled to some recovery in prices and in
creased activity, at least for the coming
week.

REV. TALMAGE’S SERMON.
THE ACROPOLIS HIS SUBJECT AND
BIS TEXT FROM THE AOTS.
A Word Picture of the City of Athene
ae It Appeared in the Time of Paul
the Apostle The Architectural Glo
rd ee of tbe World Famous Reck.
Brooklyn, N. Y,, Nov. 23.—The congre
gation at the Tabernacle, led by oornet and
organ, sang this morning with great power
tbe hymn of Isaao Watt, beginning:
Our God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come.
The sermon, which was on the Acropolis,
is the sixth of the series Dr. Tnlmago la
preaching on the subjects suggested by hit
tour in Bible lands. His text was taken
from Acts xvll., 16: “While Paul waited
for them at Athens Ids spirit was stirred in
him when he saw tho city wholly given to
idolatry.”
It seemed as If morntng would never
coma We had arrived after dark in
Athens, Greece, and the night was sleepless
with expectation, and my watch slowly an
nounced to me one and two and three and
four o’clock, and at the first ray of dawn I
called i>ur party to look out of the window
upon that city to which Paul said he was a
debtor, and to which tbe whole earth is
dobtor for Greok architecture, Greek sculpt
ure, Greek poetry, Greek eloqtieuoe, Greek
prowess and Greek hlßtory. That morning
In Athens wo sauntered forth armed with
most generous and lovely letters from
the President of tho Uuited States,
and his Secretary of State, and during
all our stay in that city those let
ters caused every door and every gat.
and every temple and every pa.nce ta
swing open before us. The mightiest
geographical name on earth to-day is Amer
ica. The signature of an American Presi
dent and Secretary of S ate will take a m m
where any army could not. Toose names
brought u* into the presence of a most
gracious aud beautiful sovereign, tbe Queen
of Greece, and her cordiality was more like
that of a sister tliau the occupant of a
throne room. No formal bow as wheu
monarch* aro approached, but a cordial
shake of tho hand, and earnest questions
about our personal welfare and our
beloved oouutry far away. But this morn
ing we pass through where stood tlia
Agora, the unolent market-place, locality
whore philosophers used to meet
their disciples, walking while they talked,
aad where Paul, tie Christian logiolan,
flung many a proud Stole and got the
laugh on many au impertinent Epicurean.
Toe market place was tho center of social
and political life, and it was tho place
where people went to tell and hear the
news Booths and bazars were set up for
merchandise of all kinds, except meat, but
everything must be sold for oa<h, and there
must be no lying about the value of com
modities, and the agoranomi who ruled the
place aould inflict rov-ero punishment upon
offenders. The different schools of thinkers
bad distinct places set apart for convoca
tion. The Platieans must tu.et at the cheese
market, the Dooellans at the barber shop,
the sellers of perfumes at tho frankin
cense headquarters. The market place *al
n space three hundred and fifty yards long
and two hundred aud fifty wide, audit was
given up to gossip and merchandise, and
lounging, and philosophizing. All this you
ne<-d to know in order to understand the
Bible when It says of Paul, "Therefore dis
puted he In the market dni.y with them that
met him.” You see it was the best place to
get an audience, and if a man feels himself
callod to preach he wants people to preach
to. But before we make our chief visits of
to-day we must take a turu at the Stadium.
It is a little way out, but ro we must.
Tbe Stadium was tbe place whore the foot
races occurred.
Paul bod been out thoro no doubt, for he
frequently uses the scenes of that place aa
figures when be tells us: “Let us run the
race that is set before us,” and again, “They
do it to obtain a corruptible garland, but
we an incorruptible.” The marble and the
gilding have boon removed, but the high
mounds againut whioh the seats were piled
are still there. Thu Stadium is six hun
dred and eighty feet long, one hu dred and
thirty feet wide, and belli forty thousand
spectators. There is to-day the very tunnel
through which the defeated racer departed
from the Stadium and from tbe hisses of th
people, and there are the stairs up whioi
tbe viator weut to the top of the hilt to
be crowned with tho laurel. In this plaoe
contests with wild beasts sometimes took
place, and while Hadrian, the omp ror, sat
on yonder bight, ouo thousand beasts wore
slain in one celebration. But It was chiefly
for fect-raoing, and so I proposed to my
friend that day while we were in the Sta
dium that wo try which o. us oould run the
soo er from end to end of this hist rical
ground, and so at tbe word given by the
lookers-on wo started side by side, but be
fore I got through 1 found out wbat Paul
meaut when he compares the spiritual race
with the race in this v-ry Stadium, as ha
says: “Lay aside every weight.” My
heavy overcoat, aud my friend's freedom
from such incumbrance showed the ad
vantage in any kind of a race of “laying
aside every weight.”
Wo come now to the Acropolis. It is a
rock about two miles iu oiromnferenoe at
tho base and a thousand Let in circumfer
ence at tbe top, and three hundred feot
high. On it has been crowded mors
elaborate architecture and soulpture than
in any other place under the whole heavens.
Originally a fortress, afterward a congrega
tion of temples and statutes and pillars,
their ruins an enchantment from which no
observer ever breaks away. No wonder that
Aristides thought it the oector of all
things—Greece, tho oenter of the world:
Attica, tbe center of Greece; Athens, tbs
center of Attica, and the Acropolis the cen
tor of Athens. Earthquakes have shaken
it; Verres plundered it. Lord Elgin, tbs
English embassador at Constantinople,
got permission of tbe sultan to remove
from the Acropolis fallen piecee of tbs
building, but be took from the building to
England the finest statues, removing them
at an expense of eight hundred thousand
dollars A storm overthrew many of the
statues of tbe Acropolis. Morosinl, the gen
eral, attempted to remove from a pediment
the soulptured car and horses of victory,
but the clumsy machinery dropped it and
all wa9 lost. The Turks turned the building
into a powder magazine where the Venetian
guns dropped a lire that by explosion seat
the columns flying in the air and falling
cracked and splintered. But after all that
time aud war and iconoclasm have effected,
the Acropolis Is the monarch of all ruins,
and before it bow tbe learning, the genius,
the poetry, the art, the history of the ages.
I saw it as it was thousands of
years ago. I had road so much about
it and dreamed so much about it, that I
needed no magician's wand to restore it.
At one wave of my hand on that clear
morniug in 1889 it rose before me in tbe
glory it had when Pericles ordered it, and
Ictinus planned it, and Pnidias chiseled it,
and Protogiues painted it, and Pausanias
described it. Its gates, which were care
fully guarded by the ancients, open to let
you in, and you ascend t>y sixty marbi
steps the propyliea, which Epamin ndai
wanted to transfer to Thebes, but permis
sion, I am glad to say, oould not be grauted
for tho removal of tins architectural mira
