fhe Forty-Niners Have Their Annual Shad
Bake with Col Joe MeKibben.
Way back in ls49 large numbers Of enterpris-
ing pioneers from all over the country packed
their lares and penates in their carpet bags and
headed for California. Some went across the
continent in prairie schooners, some went by
wsy Of the Isthmus of Panama and some went
all the way around the horn. AL were firm In
the belief that directly upon their arrival they
would pick up great chunks Of gold and pay
dust by the bushel Some Of them did and
some did not Some Of them stayed and got
rich and some Of those who stayed are out there
snu, trying bout with Dame Fortune. A good
many Of them, though, came back east, realiz-
ing that after all this is pretty good part Of
the world.
THEY STILL CLING TO EACH OTHER.
wherever they may be, however, and what
ever the occasion may be, those old pioneers of
is have bond of sympathy and fellow feeling
that unites them as only the memory Of COM
mon dangers endured and difficulties sur
mounted can do. When they get together for
good time they have it, one and all, and il is
hard to believe that any Of them were old
enough to travel alone as long ago as 1S49.
There are quite q number Of forty-niners in
Washington, and yesterday Was the day for
their annual reunion and shad bake at Marshall
trips Of the Manchester, for in addition to the
real pioneers there were a number OF guests
who we're fortunate enough to be invited to go
along. No one ever declines such an invita-
ton If he can possibly help it.
THE FIRST BOAT LOAD OF MEMBERS.
The 1850 boat took a large crowd down the
river and a. the boat passed the arsenal Gen.
Gibson, who was with Gen. Fremont in his first
occupation Of California, honored them with a
salute Of thirty-one guns, California being the
thirty first state admitted TO the Union As the
boat passed on down the river the Third Artil-
lsry Band, stationed on the arsenal wharf,
played "Auld Lang Syne.'
A little after noon the handsome new dining
room that has been erected at Marshall Hall
this spring was occupied for the first time and
a substantial lunch was spread that offered a
noticeable contrast to the meals that many OF
them enjoyed or rather endured in the dig
gings forty years ago.
THE SECOND BOAT LOAD.
A second boat load went down little after 8
o'clock and all the argonauts who could not go
In the morning were pretty sure to be on the
second trip. As the achievements reached
the wharf they we're met by the earlier pioneers,
who were lined up and singing with
earnestness and good intentions the old
refrain about ''the miner, q forty-niner, and
his daughter, Clementine-" 1t was a beautiful

toward the buildings on the summit Of the

1t Will BE Placed in iowa Circle, Once
Known as 'He!ps Bottom"
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-The equestrian
statue of General Logan is to be located in
Iowa Circle. This decision was reached at
q conference in Secretary Proctor's Office
to-day. Iowa Circle is one of those locsli-
ties in Washington which has but recently
emerged from the slums. Only few years
ago it was a center of what was then
known as "Helps Bottom" A special force
of policemen had to be kept on duty there
oil the time. as there were more fights and
more bloodshed in "Helps Bottom" than in
any other part of the town. The seats in
the circle were monopolized by negro
toughs. 1t was finally decided to do away
with the nuisance. The District Comm Is
sloners planted the entire circle with
flowers of brilliant yellow hue. which
was a color 80 distasteful to the negroes
that they withdrew their patronage. Fine
residences gradually took the place of the
shanties until the locality was transformed
into one of the most fashionable at the cap
ital. General Logan's statue will be in the
very center of old "HelPs Bottom" al
though it has long since lost this name.
At the conference to-day General Alger
tee to visit the artist, ST. Gaudens, at New
York and obtain his views on design for
the statue. 1t was reported that $65, 600 is
available for the statue. This includes
1000 appropriated by Congress, and is re-

NIAGARa'S RIVAL.
Two American Scientists View the Almost Un-
known Grand Falls Of Labrador.

HALIFAX, n. S.. Oct. 19.-The latest Wis
itor to the Grand Falls OF Labrador arrived
here recently on his way back to Philadel-
pnia. full of the grandeur OF what he saw.
On June % last Henry G. Bryant. of Phila-
delphia. and Professor Kenaston, of Wash
ington, started from New York to reach
these falls. the existence of which at that
time was little more than traditional. It
was not until Sept. 9 that their eyes were
gladdened by sight of the great falls.
Mr. Bryant describes the falls as truly
magnificent. The rear makes conversation
almost impossible, and they were more than
twice as high as Niagara. Aneroid meas
urements were MADE, carefully checked by
other measurements. above the falls. The
river makes down for 1sS feet at an anglo
of 80 degrees over its rocky bed. The alb
Tupt descent of tins water is BIG feet and
the river here is from $50 to 200 feet wide.
The column of mist that arises il very strik-
ing, and can be seen at great distance.
The banks are extremely rugged. Pho
tographs were taken. The return Jour-
ney to the coast was made in seven days,
while it had taken one month to reach the
falls. Professor Kenaston is still at st.
Johns. MIR. Bryant has n large collection
of specimens of the structural formation of
the country and the region of the falls and
many curios relative of Indian life and Gus
toms.

AN EVIL EXPOSED.

Alleged Ncpotism and Salary Duplication
Among Federal Court OfHciais.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-First Controller
Mathews, of the Treasury Department., has
enlisted among those who wish Congress to
investigate something. Mr. Mathews laid
bare this morning the nepotism and salary
duplication which is prevalent among
judges, clerks and officials of the federal
judicial system. He explained how the
federal judges were in the habit of 6p-
pointing their relations and clerks to sew
eral different positions, each having large
salaries. In one case $500 clerk had his
official position SO duplicated that he
cleared $4,000 year. according to Con-
troller Mathews's books. The Controller
urged that Congress ought to investigate
the subject and break up the abuse. This
is the first exposure which has come from
inside circles. Nearly every Democratic
Congressman who comes TO Washington
proposes an investigation of some sort, but
Controller Mathews was the first official to
urge Congress to look into the misapplica-
tion of funds in the federal courts. Mr..
Mathews's exposure strikes in an unex-
pected quarter. 1t is commented on .ss

ernorship of Illinois

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON. Oct. 19.-Secretary Noble
as good as said, this afternoon, that the
resignation of Pension Commissioner Raum
was in the hands of President Harrison.
He dropped the information incidentally
in replying to q question as to whether it
was true, as reported, that ex-Gov. George
w. Steele, of Oklahoma. was to be General
Raum's successor. This evening the Secre-
tary said that it was his opinion that Maj.
Steele would succeed General Raum. OIL
though he did not know positively what
the President intended doing in that direc-
ton.
In another official quarter it was stated
that If Ex-Governor Steele IS appointed
Commissioner of Pensions it would be an
after thought of the President. as the lat
ter had surely not, up to this time. con-
cluded to offer the commissionership of
pensions TO Major Steele. The positive
statement was sent out last night to various
parts of the country that the resignation
of Major Steele as Governor of Okla
homa meant his appointment as Commits
sIoner of Pensions; that in point of fact
Major Steele had been rendered the COM
missionership and was on his way to Wash
ington to enter upon his official duties. As
stated in these dispatches last night. the
closest official advisors of the President
attach no Importance TO Governor Steele's
resignation, as he has for almost year
freely expressed dissatisfaction with
frontier life, and stated number of times
in Washington that he intended to return
soon to His home at Marion. Ind.
Twice has President Harrison bcen given
the opportunity to appoint Major Steele to
the cOmmisslonership of pensions. Short
ly after the election in 1855, Major Steele's
congressional district urged his appoint
ment, and when it became known that
Majors soldier constituents again urged
his appointment. Major Steele stands in
high esteem with the President, and he
may be rendered the position. 1t ia quite
sure now that General Raum will soon re-
