AsNumecous Excursions tlw Coining Summer

at Reasonable Kates,

Whether the tourist's fancy directs him to the New England States or the Atlantic seaboard to the South or to the lake region of the North or to the Rocky •Mountains and the wonderland beyond the Mississippi, he will be given opportunity to indulge his tastes at a small cost for railroad fare this year. There will be low rates to Baltimore ov-sr tbe Pennsylvania Lines in May, account the American Medical Association to Decatur, 111., account the German Iiaptist (Dunkard) meeting, and to Pittsburg for the Pres byterian General Assembly. There will also be low rates over these 1 nes to Me ridian, Miss account the General Asembly Cumberland Presbyterian church the same month. In June excursion tickets will be sold over the Pennsylvania Lines to Omaha account the National Jr. O. U. A. M. to Chattanooga, Tenn, for the International Convention of Epworth League to Cleveland, Ohio, account the National Republican League Meeting, and to Roanoke, Va., for the German Baptist meeting. Excursions for July include low rotes over the Pennsylvania to Baltimore for the Baptist Y. P. Union Meeting to Asbury Park for the L. A. W". meeting, and to Boston for the Christian Endeavor Convention, aud to Denver si Col., account the National Educational

Association meeting. In August excursion tickets will be on sale over the Pennsylvania Linos to Boston, account the Knights Templar Conclave The sale of low rate tickets will not be restricted to members of the organizations mentioned, but the public generally may take advantage of them.

The Asbury Park excursion will doubtless attract many to that delightful ocean resort. Atlantic City, Cape May, Long Branch and all the famous watering places along the New Jersey coast are located on the Pennsylvania Lines, hence this will be a desirab'p opportunity to visit the seashore. The Denver excursion will be just the thing for a sight-seeing jaunt thro' the fir West, as tickets will be honored going one way and returning a different route through the most romantic scenery beyond the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. Variable route privileges will also be accorded Boston excursionists. enabling them to visit Niagara Falls, M'uU-?.il, Thousand Islands and St. Lawrence Rapids, the White Mountains, the Hudson River territory, and to return by steamer on Long Island Sound, after sis ht-*e*iig at Newport. Narrrtgansett Pier, Nantucket and the Cape Cod resorts to Ns York and thence tnvou^h the asrri"ultuial paradise of the Keystone Stat«, along the Susquehanna and Juniata rivers. over the AUeghenies, around famous Horse Shoe Curve, through historic Johu-^o vti and the coke aud iron regions

W^s'ern Pennsylvania. It is

also expected that Boston excursionists over the Pennsylvania Liues will be privileged to return via Baltimore and Washington if they so de3ire.

In a'dition to the abrwe, there will be plenty of other cheao excursions over the Pennsylvania Liues to various points. As the season is some weeks away, arrangements in 'detail have not been consummated, but it is certain that no railway will offer better inducements fchr-n the liberal concessions in rates and privileges that may be enjoyed by travelers over the Pennsylvania Lines. This fact may readily be ascertained upon application to any pa^sen^^r it ticket «gent of these lilies, or by addressiug F. VAN DUSEN, Chief Assistant Gon. Pass. Aett., Pittsburg, Pa. apr6wd-t-s tf

REPOBLICAU CLUBS.

Opening Session of the Cleveland Convention.

ROUTINE MATTERS ARRANGED.

The Committee on Resolutions Having Quite a Time Over the Silver Question. The Final Outcome Can Only lie Surmised—Presidential Booms Being Well

Looked After by Different Parties. CLEVELAND, June 20.—The opening

session of the eighth national convention of Republican clubs recessed after disposing of all preliminaries and routine matters. There were no developments in the convention indicating the contest between tlio.se wearing yellow and white badges and representing respectively the gold and the silver standards, but in the committee rooms, the arcade, hotels and elsewhere the fight was on.

The committee on time and place selected Milwaukee as the place for the next national convention, and referred the selection of the date of the next national convention to the executive board, with instructions to select any date after that of the Republican, convention. The postponement of the time to a date subsequent to that of the national convention next year was for the purpose of avoiding any such contest on resolutions as that which is now confronting the delegates of the clubs.

The feature of the day was the silver fight before the committee on resolutions. The committee organized at 4 p. m., with Congressman J. B. Robinson of Pennsylvania as chairman, and H.

Knowies of Delaware as secretary. The organization was against the silverites, but the latter were not discouraged and opened up the fight from the start. The committee was in open session till after 6 o'clock when, on motion of Congressman Tawney of Minnesota, it adjourned till 8 p. in. for an executive session, at which time a subcommittee of nine was to be announced by Chairman Robinson, and the time given to the silver men and others lor a hearing.

When the committee oil resolutions reassembled at 8 p. m. the following subcommittee was appointed to draft resolutions: Hon. John B. Robinson, Pennsylvania, chairman general commit tee (ex-oilicio) Horace G. Knowies, Delaware, secretary general committee (ex-officio) J. A. Tawney, MinnesotaJames K. Harkness, Missouri Henry B. Blackwell," Massachusetts L. M. Hubbard, Connecticut C. E. Allen, Utah S. A. Robinson, New York Senator F. T. Dubois, Idaho W. W. Cul'ry, District of Columbia H. M. Coke, Oregon.

The full committee heard arguments on the silver question pro and con for several hours. A number of silver resolutions were offered. The opponents, of free silver, through Mr. Hunter of Missouri, offered the financial plank of 1802, also the recent Ohio plank adopted at Zanesville last month. The compromise resolution attracting most attention was presented by Senator-elect J. M. Thurston of Nebraska as follows: "We approve the declaration of the last Republican convention 'that the American people, from tradition and intarest, favor bimetalism, and the Republican party demands the use of both gold andjsilver as a standard money with such restrictions and under such provisions to be determined as will secure the maintenance oi' the parity of values of the two metals so that the purchasing and debt-paymg power of the dollar, whether of silver, gold or paper, shall at all times be equal, and refer the action for a more specific declaration to the next Republican national convention which alone has the power to bind the party or make platforms and declare principles."

There was no discussion of the tariff or any other issues in the committee, except that of the silver plank, and no differences of opinion existed in the committee of 40 members, except on the silver question. Nearly all the members of the committee were instructed on the silver question by their respective state delegations, so that, it will not be difficult tp adopt a report. Still it is conceded that these instructions make it almost certain that both majority and minority reports will be presented to the convention, and that tire silver question, will be fought out on the floor. The silver men still have confidence in their strength among the delegates, although a majority of the committee is against them.

The subcommittee went into an allnight executive session to prepare A report to be made to the full committee as SQOU as possible.

GUN5 DESTROYED.

Fire Causes a $30,000 Lpss.to the United States Government. SAN FRANCISCO, June 20.—A fire at

the Presido reservation yesterday will cost the United States government about $30,000. The fire was discovered in tne gunshed of Light Battery F, and before an engine arrived the building was consumed. The shed cost .only $2,000, but it contained eight 4-inch rifle guns of the latest pattern, each of which cost about $3,000. The guns were badly warped and the carriages so twisted that they are absolutely ruined.

Besides. the guns, a number of valuable stores were in the building, all of which are damaged so they are unfit for use. The origin of the fire is unknown, and is now being investigated. There were some lubricants stored in the shed, and the theory of Colonel Graham is that the fire was caused by spontaneous combustion.

Incline Car Jumps the Track. CHATTANOOGA, June 20.—A car on

the Lookout Mountain incline railway jumped the track while coming down the mountain about 200 feet from the Point hotel yesterday. W. B. Mitchell, president of the Third National bank of this city, and author of ''Dollars or What," and M. M. Henderson were standing on the freight platform in the. rear of the car and they both jumped,. receiving serious, and probably fatal wounds. The conductor stopped the car with automatic brake.

NAPOLEON BONAPARTE.

Most Brilliant Military Episode Known In History.

THE CAMPAIGN OF AUSTERLITZ.

Utter Rout of Austrians and Russians on His Coronation Anniversary Crowned King of Italy—Death of Pitt—Personal

Appearance at Thirty-five.

[Copyright, 1895, by John Clark Ridpath.] XVI.—FROM NOTRE DAME TO AUSTEBLITZ.

To the New French Empire the Consular Republic contributed one fact of transcendent importance. That was the Code Napoleon—a work which the Emperor regarded to the end of his days as his greatest gift to posterity. Before the Revolution, France had had as many laws as provinces. The oynical Voltaire declared that in his country the traveler must change his code as often as he changed horses.

The question of unifying and nationalizing the statutes of France had been before the States-General at Versailles. By that body the measure was remanded to the National and Constituent Assemblies by these, to the Convention by that, to the Directory and by that, to the Consulate. Here, then, had arisen a power at last that was able to revise and reform. A commission was appointed by the First Consul, headed by the great lawyer Tronchet, to reconstruct the jurisprudence of Franco.

In four months this commission made its report to the Council of State. Napoleon personally presided. The project of the commission was read, discussed, and passed on, clause by clause. On the

NAPOLEON, 1805, BY BOUILLON.

5th of March, 1803, the Code Civile des Francais was completed and published. It consisted of twenty-two hundred and eighty-ono articles. These were arranged under three liaads: The Rights of Persons the Laws of Property and the Methods of acquiring Property. In the code the elements of Roman Law and the law-customs of the Fronch people wero bk.ided with siugular skill.

The Code Napoleon became the basis of jurisprudence, not only in France, but in Sicily, Holland, Belgium, the Rhine provinces, Switzerland, Poland, and in all the countries dominated by the Latin races in Europe and America.

At the date of his coronation, Napoleon was thirty-five years, three months and seventeen days of age. He was in his very prime. Physically, he had triumphed over that attenuation and utter swarthiness which had marked his younger years. On his first issuance to public notice, and down to the time of the Consulate, he had worn a haggard look, which, added to his thinness and bis low stature, made him almost a specter. In the year of his marriage, he was described by an observant lady—as reported in Stendhal—ras "the thinnest and queerest being I ever met. In another place the same authority says of him: "He was so scrawny that he inspired pity." But with the gratification of his ambitions and desires, he became plump and beautiful.

Of all the descriptions of the person of Bonaparte, that of Meneival, his secretary, is doubtless the mosi correct and, satisfying. He says of ,tl^e Emperor, that, though small of stature, his person was well knit and symmetrical. The bust was longer relatively than the legs. The head was large, and the skull finely developed. The neck was short, and the shoulders proportionally broad. The chest was ronnd and full, Indicating a robust constitution. Thp limbs both arms and leg^ were perfect. The Emperor was as proud as was Lord Byron of his small plump han,da qnd tapering fingers. His forehead was broad and high his eyes easily kindled with passion and flashed lightnings. His complexion was pallid bronzed at first always of the Italian hue. His dark hair became thin on* the top of his head, and the height of the forehead was seemingly increased. Meneval, for thirteen years intimate with his master—observing closely his every mood and feature —says: ''His.head and bust were in no. way inferior in nobility and dignity to the most beautiful statue of antiquity."

The new Imperial system quickly diffused itself abroad. Wherever the influence of France extended, the political transformation was easily effected. The Cisalpine Republic was converted into the kingdom of Italy. This Napoleon would make an appanage of his own. For four months, sixteen hours daily, he wrought at tbe establishment of the new regime in France. He then sped to Milan, and on the 26th of May, 1805,' was crowned King of Italy. The ceremonial was in the great cathedral there, second only in magnificence to St. Peter's. The old iron croWn of- the Lombard, kings was brought forth from its dusty keep, and was given by the archbishop of Milan to the Emperor, who,, putting it on his head, uttered the famous mot, Dieu me l'a donnee—Gare a qui la touche. "God has given it to me -iBeware who touches it!''—an aphorism which became the motto of the Order of the Iron Crown.

The Empire brought four years of oon-

tinuous war. Napoleon became thF trampler of vineyards. His armies made Europe into mire. England—agreeing at Amiens not to fight—fought. Pitt now in the last year of his life, used ail of his resources to bring about a league against Franco. Ho persuaded Alexan~ der of Russia, Francis of Austria, and Gustavus of Sweden—all easy dupes of a greater than themselves—to make S new coalition. He tried to induce Frederick William of Prussia to join his fortunes with the rest but the last-named monarch was for the time restrained by the weakness of prudence. The agents of Napoleon held out to him suggestions of the restoration of Hanover to Prussia. But Austria and Russia and Sweden pressed forward confidently to overthrow the new French Empire. That Empire should not see the end of the first year of its creation!

The Austrians were first in the field. The Russians, under Kutusoff, came on into Pomerauia from the East. Out of Sweden,with a large army, came down Gustavus, the Don Quixote of tlio North,,.. to crush Bernadotte who held Hanover.. Napoleon for his part sprang forth for the campagin of Austerlitz, perhaps the most brilliant military episode in the1 history of mankind. With incredible facility he threw forward to the Rhine an army of a hundred and eighty thousand men. His policy was—as always—to overcome the allies in detail.

On the 24th of September, the Em» peror left Paris. The Empress and Talleyrand went with him as far as Strasburg. On the 2nd of October, hostilities began at Guntzburg. Four days afterwards the French army crossed the Danube. On the 8th of the month*?.:: Murat won the battle of Wertingen, capturing Count Auffenberg, with two thousand prisoners. On the 10th the French had Augsburg, and on the 12th, Munich. On the 14th Soult triumphed at Meiningen, capturing a corps of si£ thousnnd Austrians and on the same day Ney literally overran tho territory which was soon to become his Duchy of Elchingen. Napoleon outgeneraled the main division of the enemy at Ulm. The Austrians, under General Mack, thirty-three thousand strong, were coop-v ed up in tho town and, on the 17th of October, forced to capitulate. Eighfc lield-marshals and generals, including1: the Prince Lichtenstein and Generals.'.-. Klenau and Fresnel, were made prisoners. "Solders of the Grand Army," said Napoloon, "we have finished the-v. campaign in a fortnight!" sit

On the day of the capitulation of Ulm, Massena in Italy drove back the army of the Archduke Charles. The? Austrians to this date, in a period of twenty days, had lost by battle and' capture fully fifty thousand men! OIB I: the 27th of October, the French army: crossed the Inn. Salzburg and Braunau f?n were taken. In Italy, Massena, on the 30th, won the battle of Caldiero, andfs took five thousand prisoners. Thej French closed towards the Austrian?* capital. On tho 13th of November, Na-|%, poleon, having obtained possession dfiVf the bridges of the Danube, eutered Vi-' t, enna. He established himself in the imperial palaco of Schonbrunn. The Austrian Empire and the Hoi) Roman Empire—which was it3 shadowy penumbras —seemed to vanish like ghosts before?! him.

Out of Pomerania into Moravia, te tho plain of Ohnutz, tho groat Russian army, under the Czar and Kutusoff, came roaring. There they were united with a heavy division of tho Austrians, under Emperor Francis. The latter hadasw fled from his capital, and staked his last fortunes on battle in the field. The aV" lied army was eighty thousand strong:

Napoleon, with sixty thousand men, commanded by Soult, Lannes, Murat and Bernadotte, advanced rapidly from the direction of Vienna, as rapidly as^cfe Brunn, and there awaited the onset. sb®

Just beyond this town, at Austerlitz, ww the French were arranged in a semicir- A cle, with the convex front towards thes^i allies, who occupied the outer arc on »& range of heights. Such was the situation on the night of December 1st, 1805. mk The morrow will be the first anniversary of our coronation in Notre Dame— a glorious day for battle!

With the morning of the 2nd* Napoleon could scarcely'restrain his ardor. The enthusiasm of $hp army* knew n® bounds. On the night before, the Emperor, in his gray cpat, tad gone the cir-sfc^, cle of the camps, and the soldiers, extemporizing straw torches to light the way, ran beforediim. Loofcixig eagerly through the gr^y djiwn, he saw the enemy badly arranged, or moving dangerously in' broken masses under the cove* of a Moravian fqg. Presently the fog lifted, and the sun burst Out in splend.Or. ,- The'onset of theFrenoh was irresistibly The allied center was pierced. TheAu»-' trian and Russian emperors With their armies were sent flying in utter ront and panic from the, field. Thirty thou- fefts sand Russians and Austrians were killed, wounded or taken. Alexander barely escaped capture. Before sunset the .-fess Third Coalition was broken into fragments and blown away.

Meanwhile, from the borders of Hanover, the Quixotical Gustavus had taken to flight, and was eager to secure himself beyond the Baltic. On the 24th of December, everything was completed by tliePoaceof Pressburg. Austria gave up the whole of her Venetian possessions into the kingdom of Italy. The Tyrol, Vorarlberg, and Passau went to Bavaria. The latter country and Wurtemberg were made into kingdoms. For all this the ancient Empire of the Hapsburg# was compensated with Salzburg and some other trifling places.

After Austerlitz the broken Russian# fell back towards tliejr own' territory. Central Europe seemed to be suddenly dominated by the sword of the Corsican. Pitt, no longer able to bear the strain of the tremendous antagonism, sank rapidly, and died. The glorious victory which Nelson had won in the bloody foam of Trafalgar, on the day after tho oapitulation of Mack, oould not compensate for the Continental ruin. Pitt passed away*1 on the 23rd of January, 1806. Austerlitz and Pressburg are said to have kill-* cd him! JOHN CLARK RIDPATB.
