The much talked about Anglo-Amerâ€" ican friendliness is not all newspaper and after dinner "guff," as some pes- simistic people are fond of saying. It has a good substantial and popular basis as many evidences go to show. One of the most recent of these is givâ€" en by the Chicago Record as follows: New Music at Furl shun-Man, Ill. [in-lush Grenadier-u Supp “ Alncrlcn and lllxle." There is music in the air at Fort Sheridan the Record says. It comes from the quarter on the second floor to the left of the archway, facing the parade ground and floats in broken strains with frequent halts to the ears of all who come that way. Tommy in his company room hears it, laughs and says that it beats various kinds of things. He also asks his grinning bun- kie if " that wouldn't kill him." The officers striding along the ce- ment walk on their way to the adjut- ant's office. smile as the sounds of horn, comet and snareâ€"drum reach their ears, and there is gratification as well as amusement in their smiles. The [act that the band is practis- ing does not usually excite much re- mark at the fort, but the airs they are playing now have set1 the men talking and wondering from one end of the barracks to the other. Operatic music is as a thing forgotten Even the "Starâ€"Spangled Banner," is never heard except at retreat. Such comâ€" paratively recent favorites as " A Hot Time in the Old Town" and "Dixie" have passed from the minds of the earn- estly striving musicians, who are now blowing their whole souls into " Rule Britannia " and "British Grenadiers," In the wards of the second clarinet: It is regarded by many as significant of more than ordinary feeling of friend- ship toward the United States on the part of Great Britain that that Power should allow the landing of armed forces on her territories, and that by accepting the concession the United States shows her willingness to return the hospitality extended at any time that it becomes necessary. At all events. this is the. slew the soldiers at Fort Sheridan take of it. They are beginning to be eager for the start and the few books of Eastern travel in the meagre little library are being diligently thumbed. Half a dozen eager heads are crowded at a time over a picture of the sterile r001; off the Sicilian coast, u here. they guess that the British baudmatsters are now instructing their men how to play "H'iil Columbia ” and " Yankee Doodle,” and those who saw the Streets of Cairo at the World‘s Fair are tailing their ad- miring comrades what they may ex- pect to see. The Problem Analyzedâ€"It Would Be a Formldalnle Task. Lieutiâ€"Col. von Bieberstein discusses the question "Could Russia Take In- dia ?” Russia, he tells us, has about 40,000 troops in Turkestan and rail communications with the Caspian ex- tending to within 240 miles of the Af- ghan fortress of Herat. She could, therefore, he thinks, seize this fortress, long before the British could reach it, and could mass 150,000 troops in and about it within two months. The order conveying the route to the commanding officers‘of the brigade names. it is said, Gibraltar, Malta, Cairo Bombay and Singapore as the places where the troops are to land. At Malta the stay of the American troops will extend, it is said, to a period of four days. But then would begin the 700 miles march through Afghanistan. over high mountains. which would occupy ap» proximately three months. An im- mense amount, of stores and ammuni- tion, must be carried with the army, and large cannon could not be taken at all. MoreOVer. me line of march, must be protected, and the army in consequence diminished, and, in short, Russia could not reach the borders of India with more than two-(hirds of her original army. » To oppose this army the British could bring up a nearly equal number of In- dian troops, and still leave 130,000 for the maintenance of British supremacy in India. In addition, their fleet, carryâ€" ing 35,000 troops, could twice make the igurney to India and back before the ussians could reach the border. Be- sides all this, they could be drilling the warlike tribes of India, and thus in- creasing their forces. Then, too, they would have several Lines of defence even after the Indian border had been crossed, and the Rus- sians would be fighting far from their base of supplies. Unquestionably. how- ever, there are various eventualities that must be taken inlo consideruiion, a fur inst: nee. France and Russia The order has gone forth, it is said. that the brigade in which the 4th is art. will disembark on its way to who hilippines in the most jealously guard- ed strongholds of Great Britain. were receiving such a welcome as has never been accorded to an armed foreign form since the redcuats first planted their flags and muunted their guns. " ANYTHING ENGLISH GOES." The reason why the hand is seeking to acquire the melodies of Albion to such an extent that it has even added "La Tiddledy Iddley Umply Umpty Ay” to its repertoire is (bat the sol- diers of the United States army and 'the widow‘s men," are likely to be oommingly within a few weeks in iriendly fashion and on British ter- ritory. - COULD RUSSIA TAKE INDIA ?

I wasn’t goin’ to beg for money, ma‘- am. was the reply of the humble wan- deter. It's just as bad to beg to! bread. I wasn't going to beg for bread, ma'am. What were you going to beg for then, pray? Only for one of your pictures, mu'am. Again, the Alghans might be induced by hopes of plunder to join the Rus- sians in an invasion of India. Still, again. there might be a revolt in India stirred up by Russia‘s friends in that empire. But. in any event, the natural conclusion is that the conquest of India would be a colossal task, requir- ing an immense expenditure of men and money, and it is almost sure that it could not succeed, certainly not by Russia or any other European power single-handed.

It is worth while shopping at the Magasins du Louvre for the sake of going up that moving staircase, and nowâ€"u long way behind our French friendsâ€"we have got one in London. The enterprising firm that has started a. moving staircase on this side of the water is Horrod's Stores, in the Brompton Road, and I think they will find it so popular that there will scarcely be a store of great trading business in London that will not be glad to institute the same invention. Its carrying capacity is upward of 3,000 persons. Do you think Flammer will get over his illness? I hardly think so tors. 'Jhu latest evidence in this 0in comes from Mr. Charles Dean, an employee at the City Hotel. I Mr. Dean suffered for three years with terrible pains in his back.
