ness has been done at the fish wharf this sea-
son. Ii is expected that the dredging OF the
ilsh docks will be completed next week and
that the cost will be about $500. The electric

which have been used there for fsh-lighting
purposes since the wharf was established.
The fish men have as yet no data upon which
to calculate the probabilities Of the catch this
year, as the run of fish has not vet well begun.

TO MAKE THE RED MAN WHITE.
Gen. Morgan Gives the Recipe for As
similating the Indians.

A Boston dispatch says: Gen. Thomas J. Nor.
gan, the new Commissioner of Indian Affairs,
addressed an audience in the Old South Meet
ing House yesterday afternoon which COM
pletely filled that edifice. 1t included many Of
the clergymen of the city, literary people and
various local societies which have for their aim
the alienation of the condition Of the red men.
Hon. John ID. Long presided. Gen. Morgan
claimed the possibility and desirability Of the
complete assimilation of the little band OF
American Indians with the whites. This So
called Indian problem was simply the question:
How shall We absorb into our natural life
$50, 5000 Indians? The most obvious answer
would seem to be that we are to do this by the
same methods which have successfully absorbed
millions of Irish, German and other national
tiles. The three great cooperative factors in
the problem were public opinion, Legislative
and administrative land law and education.
The appropriation for Indian education should
be very considerably increased il we would
have an elevation of the morale of the Indian
service. He urged the restriction Of the evilC
growing out of the socalled "Wild West" shows.
Several other addresses were made, one by
DIR. Charles E. Eastman, a young Sioux,
graduate of Dartmouth College, who il now
pursuing q theological course in this city with
the intention Of returning TO his tribe - o

THE RESULT OF A SPANKING.
A Bomb Explodes in Q School Boys
Pocket.

Thomas ]. Mullane of No. 251 West 5lst
street, New York, a well-known hay and feed
vender, has fve-year-old son named Eddie
who hasn't been to school since st. Patrick's
Day. Neither has he occupied his accustomed
seat at the Mullane family breakfast table.
Eddie's father gave him a nickel on st. Pat
rick's Day with which to buy candy, but, like
most American boys, he preferred to invest his
capital in something noisy and explosive. He
bought what his schoolmates called 'bomb,"
but what Miss Jasper, the principal, and Miss
Knox, Eddie's teacher, call q soap"
Eddie showed his treasure to his comrades
during recess and promised to celebrate St
Patrick's Day right royalty at noon. Before
noon, however, there was occasion for Miss
Knox to call Eddie up to receive o reprimand,
80 the scholars say, and almost Immediately
there was heard loud explosion, followed by
. cry from Eddie and o shriek from his teacher.
The other teachers rushed into the room
and when the smoke cleared away the major
portion Of Eddie's knickerbockers was missing
and his waist was found TO be on fire. Miss
Knox had blackened and burned hand and
the sleeve Of her dress was badly singed. Ed
die had his two brothers at the same school
and one Of them made q sash Of his overcast
and took Eddie home. He has not been back

Location Of the Lafayette Monument.


1t appears a little singular that all who have
thus far spoken upon the question OF the loca-
ton of the Lafayette statue should agree that
the Jackson statue should be removed to some
other point, and it would be more singular il
all did not agree to the impropriety-the abso-
lutte blunder-of placing the former in the loca-
ton designated for ii, and now being prepared,
near the sidewalk on the south and center of
the square now adorned by the latter. The
Jackson statue should not be removed. 1t was
the first erected in this city and, indeed is the
first Of its kind ever erected anywhere CLARK
Mills having solved the problem of equilibrium
and the park in which il stands has by many for
years been known and has been called Jack
son square," Ii there is to be any change let
1t be in the name of the square, placing the
statue Of Americas friend in some appropriate
location to be named for him. thus leaving that
OF the ''old hero undisturbed in the spot SO
long honored by its presence. 1t may not be
possible to effect change in the present ar
rangement. but if it should the suggestion is
ventured that there could be no more appro-
pirate spot in Washington than the center of
the circle south of the white House." under
the shadow of the Washington Monument,
changing the name of the white Lot" to
that OF Lafayette Park" RESIDENT.

A STRIKE IMPENDING.
Four Hundred Axle Workers to Go Out
Today.

Four hundred employees of the Sheldon Axle
Company at Wilkesbarre, Pa, will go on strike
today. Some time ago, when work was slack,
the foreman suspended three of the men, Last
week he hired others in their places. The rest
of the employees objected to this and asked that
the old hands be reinstated, as they were
skilled workmen and were suspended solely
because there was not enough work to keep
them going. The company refused and the
matter was referred to the district executive
board OF the Knights of Labor.
This body held two consultations with the
superintendent, but failed to arrive at an
agreement and the men we're ordered to quit
work at 10 o'clock today. As 80 per cent of
them belong to the Axle-workers Assembly of
the knights of Labor it is expected that every
man in the shop will quit work.
