n month later ne had Charge or the depart
ment of the Rappahannock, but, although
the government retained full confidence in
him, the same i'll fortune followed him that
had marked his former career, and an acct
dent in the saddle, which kept him helpless
for a short time, vas followed by the ap-
pointment of Gen. Pope to his command.
On his recovery Gen. Mcdowell entered, as
subordinate of Pope, the campaign of August,
1862, which was fatal to the regulations OF
many men. He fought at the bloody engage
ment of Cedar Mountain and at Rappahan-
mock Station, and at the second Bull Run he
suffered, with other officers, through Pope's
incapacitY.
He served creditably throughout the civil
war, but he was not again intrusted with an
important Independent command. After the
contest was over he commanded in various
departments, here in New York, in the
south, and on the Pacific, until he was re-
tired from active service in 1882. Since
then he has resided in San Francisco, where
his admirable social qualities made him a
universal favorite

The New Novelist.

This lady must be welcomed as one who
has given US something original in American
literature. 1t is rather odd, too, that OF
the four native novelists living who show
genuine originality three should be women.
NJ. N. Murfree, the subject of this sketch, is
one of the three. She has, indeed, discov-
cred and opened up new vein in fiction. 1t
is pleasant to know that it is a southern
woman who has done this. The weird rO-
nance of the Tennessee mountains lay all
about, an open-secr = century before
her time. The typo Of southern mOuntaineers,
poor whites and all, were there, tough,
comical, rude, intense and pathetic, material
for as striking pictures as ever literature
sketched. But all slept unknown till she
came with her enchanter's wand and touched
them into life. Then they rose into action.
Traders chaffed, politicians electioneered,
women scolded or broke their hearts in
silence, and all at once the public saw a
magician's living, moving picture. Great
things may be hoped and expected of this
girl in the future.

our guide explained that the fargo one was
the sailors papa"
From an interpreter we learn I'd that the
Russians were dying for a fight with the
Garnet. We learned as we came away, too,
the Russian for ''good-by." 1t is ''do
svidnie'
1t is Just possible there is a motive for all
this display Of courtesy and friendliness.
Russian diplomacy is hard to match. 1t Is
just possible that Capt. Skrydlof has orders
from his government to cultivate as friendly
feeling as possible with the people OF the
United States 1t would make some differ
ence which way our sYmpathies were in case
of war with England. So who knows?
The Russian ship is provided with tor
pedo battery that works at distance of 800
yards The Garnet has none. She is rather
a heavy sailor, carrying 231 men. She has
more guns than the Strelok She has an
chored three miles below the Strelok and of
Staten Island The Strelok must pass her in
getting out On the night of May Paul
Boyton, the swimmer, accompanied by some
reporters in a boat, put on his waterproof
arnor, stole noiselessly through the waves,
and attached bag of bricks to the floating
spars off the Garnet's bow. He did it to
show the ''Britisher" how easy, with all his
lookouts, it would be to blow him up with
dynamite.
THE CANADA.
On Saturday the Garnet suddenly raised
steam and disappeared. 1t is said her desti-
nation was Bermuda. But her place was
taken by the Canada, a larger, swifter, more
modern English man-of-war. In case of
fight she would be better able in every way
to cope with the Strelok. The Canada is also
provided with torpedo t55attery.

The accompanying map gives, as well as
anything we have seen, an idea of the great
cataract. At the right of Goat Island is the
American Fall; at the left the Canada or
Horseshoe Fall. By recent act of the New
York legislature Goat Island and the small
islands near it, the American Fall and a
strip of land extending along the shore of
Niagara river from Prospect park to Port
Day, become the property of the state. The
purchase comprises in all lis acres of land,
with the so-called improvements" that dis
figure much of it. The whole is to be turned
into beautiful public park, free to all
visitors, the lands cape returning to grass
and trees as God made it. The money apprO-
priated by the legislature for the property
was 81, 433, 429. So
1t was time. The magnificent falls be-
longed to the state century ago Penny
wisdom allowed it to be sold to private indi-
viduals. They had no eye for the grand and
unspeakable in nature. They saw in the
most majestic waterfall in all creation only
a tremendous power out of which they could
coin dollars. Niagara Falls was set to run
ming nasty paper mills.
For many years the mighty cataract has
been simply a blot and a disgrace to the
American nation. The shores and islands
were stripped of their woods and grass, and
covered with hideous, grimy factories, with
black chimneys Wooden shanties, litter
and refuse of various sorts made the place
look like a dumping ground for the uni
verse. Brazen checked hackmen, extor-
Tomato hotel proprietors and cheap show
nuisances at every step completed
the abomination of desolation: There are
persons not very far from the falls who have
grown to be middle.aged without ever hav-
ing seen Niagara Falls. They had not the
courage to face the petty extortion of those
who owned it and ran it on the principle of
dime show. Bath island was the spot most
disfgured. Goat island fortunately be,
longed to a family who have left it mostly
In its natural state. The shaded lines on the
map show the extent of the purchase.
Traces of the destroying hand of cupidity
will be removed as far as possible from the
vicinity. The factories and shanties will be
torn away, the patent signs tumbled down
along with the strong wall which displays
them. This will be planted, and walks and
driveways laid out. In time perhaps, the
vicinity of the falls will be restored to some
thing of its primitive beauty.

STRFLOK,

The word Strelok is Russian for "Archer."
The vessel is a trinl-built steamer carrying
u guns. Four of them are machine repeat
ing cannon 6hat viii shoot Is times minute
She is provided with HOtchkiss guns, and
everything necessary to make pretty sea
fight She carries 10 men. 1t is forbidden
foreign war ships to fight each other within
nine miles of the American coast, but once
out of this limit the Atlantic ocean would
give room for lively tussle. We should
probably get a good account of it, for the
New Y Ork newspaper reporters are all ready
to charter a tug and follow the fight up.
They say thew would almost go if they had
to swim Out, head down. The mission of the
Strelok in the United States is said to be to
buy and arm cruisers
The two vessels were both down at Fortress
Monroe before coming here. The Strelok
stole away one night in the darkness, I'M
known to anybody, outwitting the Garnets
officers completely Capt Skrydlof of the
Strelok and some of his officers went to
concert on shore at Old Point Comfort. The
gallant Russian laughed and chatted with
pretty woman till near 10 o'clock. Then they
went quietly on board the Strelok. A pilot was
engaged to take the corvette out through the
capes. They informed him they were to sail
at 2 o'clock in the morning He told them
he would be on board in time. ''But you
sleep late peelot," said the Russian. Come
aboard tonight"
He went with them, and stepped into the
cabin and sat down. He had hardly done SO
when he found the ship cutting through the
water at full speed, every sail set, the engines
tearing away their best. There was not
lookout light on the vessel
You're violating the law" he told the
captain.
''ATl right, peelot," said the Russian; Its
so funny, you know"
He laughed TIL his sides shook, but never
put out a sign of a light. In the darkness
they steamed past the guns Of the uncon-
scious Garnet, and out to sea. Next day the
rakish Strelok folded her wings in New York
harbOr.
Who was the first man to inform the Gar
nets men that the Russian had escaped them9
Naturally, a newspaper reporter They seem
to be everywhere, except, perhaps, in heaven.
The slipping off Of the Strelok from Norfolk
was as sly Russian trick as one would often
encounter.

THE GARNET.

In due course Of time the slower, heavier
Garnet also brought up in New York har
Dor She can only make 13 knots an hour,
while the Russian is able to make A. Both
ships officers have been exchanging hospital
tiles with Gen. Hancock and the command
ant of the Brooklyn navy yard. But it is
ne worth while to disguise the fact that the
sentiment of New York papers and people
are more friendly to the Russian than to the
Englishman. 1t is hard to say why, unless
because the Russians meet them even more
than halfway in friendly advances. The
polite and graceful officers, speaking French,
German, Italian and mercy knows how
many dialects besides, have thrown their
ship open from hold to topsan to visitors
who desire to come aboard. Those who
wished have done so and continue it. They
go out into the middle Of the river in small
row boats that tilt over at the side and give
them a good wetting. [ was aboard last
Sunday and nearly spoiled my new dress in
that way. There has only been one excep-
ton to the cordiality with which the White
Cars officers welcomed visitors aboard their
ship. That, alas! was in the case of some
Russian Jews who endeavored to climb the
ladder leading up her side. A big sergeant
stood at the top. He saw the unlucky He
brews.
'tJewsI Jewsr he exclaimed in his native
gibberish, waving them off with his arms.
mo! no! go away; get out"
And go they did. The man would have
used force if they had not done so. America
is not free country on board a Russian war
vessel
What impresses an American on board the
Strelok is the extreme foreignness of every
thing. The men are rather short and chubby
but built for strength. They nearly all had
dumpy noses, light blue eyes-the little
twinkling Tartar eyesn-and tOw-colored
hair The ship was neat and natty on deck,
like her own shape in the water. But the
uniform of the men astOnished US. 1t looked
so shabby and dingy, even ragged; that, too,
though Sunday was a dress-up occasion. The
poor fellows get painfully little pay. They
wear bottle-green trousers, navy blue blouseS
with yellow and black braiding, and fat white
linen sailor caps. They danced for the Wis
itors, and sang some strangely musical sailor
and national airs. There was a note of
plaintiveneSs through it all The men did
not look trim and well disciplined to us.
The native, graceful Politeness of the Mus
covite race characterized even the common
sailors. however. One of them, q manly
looking fellow, turned his little sharp-cor-
nered ewes upon us and observed that we
were in Esursrlit of information. He could
not speak word Of English or French, but
he Immediately offered his services, and in
an easy way, that WOULD have done credit to
even his commander, lee US over the ship.

Especial Correspondence

NEW YORK. May 1.-Two foreign ships of
war IN New York harbor have recently been
attracting much attention. They are Of the
third or corvette rank in size. A corvette is a
war ship carrying not more than 20 guns.
Next in size is the frigate, which may carry
as many as u guns Largest of all is the
ship of the line with "A guns, or even more.
The men-of-war in New York harbor were
the Russian corvette Strelok and the British
cruiser Garnet. They were supposed to be
watching one another in view of the posi-
bility of q declaration of war between their
respectiy countries. In that case there
would be lively times among some of the
great British merchant vessels that go out of
New York almost every day of the year.

Gen. Irwin Mcdowell, one of the best mill
tary scholars in the army, who died on May
4, at San Francisco, was born on Oct. Is,
1918, near Columbus, O., and after a course
of study at the College de TrOyes, France, he
entered the military academy at West Point,
where he was graduated on July 1, 1885, and
assigned to the First artillery as a brevet
second lieutenant. He was stationed on the
Niagara frontier, and when the difficulties
there were over he was transferred to the
Maine frontier He went to Mexico in 1916
as aide-de-camp to Gen. Wool, and by gal
LIANT and meritorious conduct" at Buena
Vista he became a brevet major and as
sistant adjutant general. In that position the
troublous times of 1861 found him. He was
ordered to Washington in February of that
year and served as an inspector Of troops on
Gen. SCOTS staff. When volunteers were
called for after the firing on Fort Sumter he
busted himself with organizing them into
effective forces until May A. when he was
made brigadier general, and on May 81,
1861, he was made commander of the Army
of the Potomac and began a campaign
which was ended at Manassas on July 81
with his second battle-Bull Run Whoever
was responsible for the reverses of that day,
Gen. Mcdowell bore them with dignity and
afterward stepped into a subordinate place
and served Loyalty as a division commander
OF the Army of the Potomac under Nc
Clellan. When that army underwent -reor-
gaLlzation he was put in command of its
first CORDS with tho rank of the maior gen
