NORTHERN EXTENSION.
Marshall Moving in the Matter
Mondays Meeting.

Whatever else msy happen it seems now
to be fixed fact that Marshall proposes TO
be Independent Ia so fsr as her oSn inter
ests are concerned, and push her railroad
connections TO the points calculated 10 do
her the most good, that she is "emipently
correct" none can doubt, That the BAZoo
has urged the same course upon the people
of Sedalia all know. That il is the only
practical, common sense road to advance
ment, success, honor, wealth and happines IS
time has fully demonstra' led. Hence it
behooyes Sedalia to strike hands at once
with her proud and manly little neighbor.
Southern extensions, wster works and other
en- erprises ale not only desirable but in
dispenslble TO Sedalia's interests, but the
time seems not 10 have arrived for active
work upon them and in SO far as the rail-
roads are concerned they csn only be secur-
ed by mutual co operation on the part OF
others equally interested in their coastruc-
ton. That corporation is now offered by
Marshall, and as she is the FIRST to get to
busire let her find Sedalia ready also.
Following is the report of the meeting held
st Monday in Marshall:
The board of directors of the Marshall
& Coal Mountain company held tteir first
regular meeting, after receiving their char
ter, this morning.
The board of directors is composed of L.
C. Withers, William NJ. Walker, William
ID. Bush, William ii. Wood, Thoma:

/. c. Withers, president William ID
Bush, vice pr, sident William NJ. Walker
secretary, and ]. Percy Huston, treasurer.
Measures were adopted to secure an i'm
mediste location of the lire. The company
mean business, and the outlook is favorable
for an immediate Gods 'ruction of the road
to some point in Pettis county.

Special to the World
Washington, Jure 7.-Gen. Craig, Of Sc

MSS aniagon I'D The q. A. r. by remark
made in the rotunia OF the Ebbitt house
Friday eceding Decorator day. A party
of Virgiuiins, Kentuckiaus ard Missouri
ans were discussing he feasibility OF going
ove- to Arlington next day to witness the
ceremony oil decorating the soldiers graves
To this prVposit on Col. Craig replied ii he
went over a. all it would be merely for the
purpose of throwing filth on every Yankee
grave in the Cemetery. One or two Grand
Army men heard the remark AID reported
il to a prominent democratic repr, senta
tive who is also q member of tn, loy,l
legion. 1t was his opinion that the facts
should be published, in order that not only
the public but toe postmaster general
should b. warned of Crsig's feelings, as his
utterancss were not sanctioned by any 60 d
democr t."
In plain English Sedslis has no such

Craig anon, her citizens who is nk-r ng

tenor of the dispatch, any body .Sho kno ss
aoy hing, knows the decoration of soldiers
graves is a custom originating with SOUTH
ern mothers and daughters who went out
spr, ad flowers over tue graves of the gray
and the blue alike loog before it became
national custom, and all who know S.da-
liza know that her people as unit adhere
to that original custom, and would not as
soci tie with any ferson who held or pre-
tended to slch sentiment, much less give
him any support or indorsem mt for any
Office, unless 1T were that of convict in a

WHITNEY OPENS THE BOOKS.
An Expert Ordered to Examine the
Navy Departments Accounts.

An Expert Ordered to Examine the
Navy Departments Accounts.
WASHINGTON, March 1.-THE Secre-
tary Of the Navy has secured the services
of VIM. Calhoun, a professional account
ant Of New York, for the purpose of having
thorough investigation made of the ac-
counts and methods of keeping them in
every branch of the Navy Department.
WHITNEY'S BUSINEss-LIKE METHODS.
Mr.. Whitney is going at the Navy De-
partment with a great deal of directness
ard energy. He stands up to his work.
He has had put in two small elevated
desks on a level with his breast, so that
he can stand as he writes. He has Gre
ated sort of panic among the clerks
by asking many questions about the
business OF the department. When bills
are brought in he actually scans the
items, and upon one or two occasions has
fairly paralyzed the clerks by making
suggestions where economy could be
properly exercised. The clerks are so
used to perfunctOry auditing of bills and
routine Endorsement OF business
that they are not very ready
sometimes with answers to Mr.. Whitney's
very pertinent inquiries. Some of them,
spurred by the stimulus of his Watchful-
ness, are beginning themselves to study
the business which passes through their
hands, so that they may he better able to
answer questions in their interviews with
the Secretary. Mr.. Whitney is one of the
Presidents best workers, He is at the
department promptly at 8 and remains
there until >, and spends his entire even
ing reading upon matters relating to the
department. All the new Cabinet officers
must work overtime in order to compre-
hend the work they have in hand, and at
the same time keep away from the pres
sure Of routine work which mast be at
tended to every day.
