In the meantime a vast crowd had j assemb ed at. the amphitheatre, where , the Services were conducted. The fa miliar strains of "Nearer, My God, to Thee,” by the Marine band marked the beginning of the services, which had been most elaborately planned. _ Pres ident Roosevelt’s arrival was the sig nal for an outburst of applause. After the invocation and the rendi tion of several numbers by the band and choir E. I!. Hay read Lincoln’s Gettysburg address. President Roose velt followed, and as he arose lie was again greeted with cheers and the plaudits of the immense audience, whlich stretched far outside the limits of the amphitheatre. His remarks were given the closest attention, and he was frequently interrupted by bursts of applause. , ' At Grant’s Tomb. y A New York special says: Memo rial services were held at Grant’s tomb in the presence of 5,000 people.

Cecil Rhodes was frequently endangered by illness, and the slender boy gave little evidence of tiie sturdy, lion framed man. Even his owb physician did not believe at one time that the youth would ever live to grow up, and told the boy if b 9 ever expected to live he should go to the Cape. Before leaving England he again called on the doctor, and was informed that the physician was dead, and that hia son was conducting the practice. The visitor then mado him self known to the latter, who, oil con sulting the register of his father's cases, said: “Yes. here is the name, Cecil John Rhodes; but it can’t be you, for there is a note after it which reads, ’Cannot live more than six months.’ ” NEARER YET.

OFFICIAL ENMITY CROPS OUT \ Both Had Speeches Prepared to Deliv er at Cair.bon Dinner, But Higher Authority Saw That They Kept Guiet. A Washington special says: Friends of General Miles and Admiral Dewey declare the worst snub the two officers have received since they fell into dis favor with the administration was ad ministered during the recent dinner which was given on board the French battleship Gaulois by M. Cambon, the French ambassador. In preparing Its program the French embassy had arranged that when Gen eral Brugere toasted the American ar my General Miles was to toast the val or of the French army and that when Admiral Fourier felicitated the Ameri can navy Admiral Dewey was to speak of the glory of the French service. Both officers were notified and prompt ly prepared addresses. Lieutenant H. H. Whitney was detailed to accompany General Miles and have the copy of his speech ready for distribution to the press, and Lieutenant Nathan Sar gent was to perform similar duties for Admiral Dewey. Then these two mem bers of the staff were unexpectedly cut out of the program and the general and admiral were left without aids. For some reason not exp’ained ’the higher authorities” determined that General Miles and Admiral Dewey were not to respond to the toasts, but that the secretary of war and the sec retary of the navy were to have that honor. The committee was so inform ed, but failed to tell the admiral and general, so that when the party sat at the table of the Gaulois both Gen eral Miles and Admiral Dewey awaited their turn. It never came. Secretary Root rose when the French general spoke and Secretary Moody followed the French admiral. Frenchmen at Tomb of Grant.

He referred to “the grand and and enthusiastic reception the French delegation have received in this city and county,” and said they would take home with them memories that would take a long time to obliterate. He end ed by proposing the toast of the mayor and the city.
