HERO OF LOOKOUT MOUNTAIN
Captain John Wilson Planted tho
Old Flag on the Crest.

/ Washington was full of men with records
during Grand Army week, but among all
the veteran heroes there were few more the
idol of their surviving comrades than Cap
tain John Wilson, of the Eighth Kentucky
Volunteers. He is known throughout the
army as the hero of Lookout mountain, and
there are, or rather there were, five other
men who with him shared the honor. They
were Sergeant H. HI. Davis, Company A;
Private William Witt, Company A Ser
geant Joseph Wagers, Company B. Ser
geant James B. Wood, Company B, and
Private Joel Bradley, Company 1.
1t was during the battle of Chattanooga
that General Hooker had cast cOvetous eyes
on the commanding position of Lookout
mountain and when after a daY of hard
fighting, the Confederates began to weaken
their hold, he guessed that they would at
tempt a withdrawal during the night.
With this in view orders were issued before
daybreak for several regiments to move for
ward and attempt to carry the mountain
at the earliest possible moment
Before daylight the Eighth Kentucky
was approached by Brigadier General
Whitaker, who asked for a party of vol
unteers to make the first attempt to carry
the COlOrs to the mountain top, stating that
the undertaking was too perilOus to be
ordered done. Captain John Wilson, cap
Jdln OF Ine COlOr company OF Jne HlgnJn
Kentucky. Immediately volunteered to
make trial. With the five comrades al
ready named the start was made up the
steep face of the cliffs, sometimes on hands
and knees and sometimes with the aid Of
scaling ladders. 1t was a race for honor,
for the little party was pushed by other
volunteers from the Ninth Indiana and the
| Twenty-ninth Pennsylvania. But the Ken
tuckians were the winners, and reached
the summit just in time to head the
PennsylVanians, who scaled the height
from the other side; and when the
sun rose above the surrounding hills his
first rays fell upon the stars and stripes,
full within sight of both the armies. The
8th, with a yell, followed their pioneers to
the summit, and held the position through
out the remainder of the engagement,
being afterward supported by the Goth Hi
nois.
The tattered old flag which was the guild
ing star of 50 many eyes during that day
is still in possession Of the survivors of the
8th Kentucky, and in the immediate care
and jealous keeping of the original color
bearer, T. e. Park. 1t was originally pre-
| sented to the regiment by the ladies of Es-
till county, KY, and in the great parade Of
last Tuesday it was accompanied by the
same intrepid soldier whose deed of daring
at Lookout Mountain gave it so much Of
its present Washington Post.

Minister Egan,s Return, and What
he has to SaY-He Brings 5000
for the Families of the baltimore
Sailors.
New York, October 5.--Minister Egan
brings with him from Chilli treaty which
provides that all claims on the part of cor
porations, companies or private individ-
uals, shall be submitted to three commits
sioners, one to be selected by the United
States, one by Chill, and the other to be a
person upon whom the presidents of both
countries shall agree. If no agreement IS
reached within three months after the rati-
fcation of this treaty, the Swiss Republic
shall name commissioner.
Sessions are to be held in Washington.
The claims must be presented to the COM
missioners, after due notice to the two gov
srnments, within two months after the first
days of the meeting. Egan said he was
charged by President Montt, of Chill, to
coney to President Harrison a cordial mes
sage, couched in very complimentary lam
guage.
He had with him also, he said, letters of
credit Tor 915,OUO IN gold on Paris, trOm the
Chilian government, to be distributed be.
tween the families of Riggin and Turnbull,
the two American sailors killed in the Val
paraiso trouble, and among those who
were injured. The amount of the indem.
nifty, he said, was satisfactory to both gov
ernments. He further stated that numer-
GUS claims for damages on the part of
American citizens, dating back from the
Peruvian wars of'79-'82, and others from
the N 0ntt revolution of '88 80 and still
furtht back, would be submitted to the
commission to be applied under treaty.
He was carrying to Washington for rati-
hcation, these claims which, he said,
amounted to several millions. Egan added,
that when the confirmation of the treaty
and of the Baltimore indemnity came be-
fore the Chilian congress in secret session
the minister of foreign relations stated that
nothing could exceed the friendly spirit in
which these negotiations have been carried
on by Egan. He said he was repeatedly
thanked by President MOntt and the mem
bers of the cabinet for the friendly way in
which he had carried on the negotiations.

GettIng RId of nc King.

Prince Bismarck told story the other
day of the battle field of Konniggratz, re-
lates the Pail Mall Gazette. The old em-
peror, then king of Prussia, had exposed
himself and his staff to the enemy's fire,
and would not hear of retreaHng to a safe
distance. At last Prince Bismarck
rode up to him saying: GAS re-
sponsible minister must insist
upon your majesty's retreat to
safe distance. If your majesty were to
be killed the victory would be one of
no use to us" The King saw the
force of this and slowly retreated,
but in his zeal returned again and
again to the front. "When 1 noticed it"
Prince Bismarck went on, 81 only rose in
my saddle and looked at him. He under
stood it perfectly, and called out rather
angrily, Yes, am coming But we did
not get on fast enough, and at last l rode
up close to the king, took my foot out of
the right stirrup, and secretly gave his
horse an energetic kick. Such thing had
never before happened to the fat mare, but
the move was successful, for she shot Off in

LONDON, October 5.-Lord Tennyson
failed to rally during the night, though he
slept some. A dispatch at 2 p. m. says the
poet is in the last stages of his illness and
is passing slowly away. 1t would not oc-

DISCOVERY DAY.
Preparations Being Made for Its
Proper Observance.
Exercises at the school Houses Will
Terminate ia the Raising of the
FIag-A Parade and a General
Program In the Afternoon.

EXeEclSes at the SchOOl houses Will
Terminate in the Raising of the
FIag-A Parade and a General
Program in the Afternoon.
Superintendent Brintnall, of the city
schools, was very busy today arranging for
the proper observance of Columbus day on
October 21. IL is the intention to carry out
the official program in detail.
During the forenoon Of the day a detach-
ment from the local Grand Army post will
be sent to the various school buildings,
where exercises will be held in the differet
rooms. Instructions were given out to the
teachers of the different departments today
regarding the part they would be expected
to take in the general program. The pro-
gram for the day is very interesting and
highly entertaining, embracing, as it
does, much of a biographical nature
concerning the personality of Columbus,
together with variety Of historical data.
The design is to store the minds of the
children with fund of information about
the discovery Of America that can only be
gained by persistent study. Interspersed
throughout the program will be speeches,
recitations, short addresses, ETC., so ar
ranged that a large number of students
may participate.
At the school houses the morning exer-
cises will close by all the scholars assem-
bling on the campus, where the flag will
be raised and saluted by the scholars.
In the afternoon will occur the parade
and public demonstration, in which the
civic and military societies of the city will
probably participate in connection with
the municipal officers.
If the dpsipug Of those in charge are car
ried out as at present planned, an elabo-
rate program will be carried out at the
opera house after the parade. All the ex-
ercises of the day are calculated to instil
into the minds of the children a better
knowledge of the events surrounding the
struggles of Columbus, and to promote
higher grade of patriotism in general.
Preparations are also being made to
properly observe the day at the Olympia
Collegiate Institute, and it is quite likely
there will be exercises in schools through
out the county.
The official program for that day, as is
sued by State Superintent Bryan, is as fol-
lows:
Reading of the presidents proclamation,
by the master of ceremonies.
Raising Of the flag, by veterans or other
military organizations, where possible.
Salute to the flag, by the pupils.
Song of Columbus day, by pupils and
audience.
The address, a defamation, "The Mean
ing of Four Centuries"
The ode, a poem, "Oolumbia's Banner"
As the occasion will be observed as a
general holiday, the efforts of the scholars
will undoubtedly be rewarded by a large
audience

out of the claim Of Germany to supremacy
on the islands and after the destruction of
the United States feet by the hurricane,
the old concession to the United States Of
the harbOr of Pago Pago was revived and
congress appropriated 100000 for the es-
tabishing of a coaling station. 1t was nee
essary to acquire 25 acres for the station,
but it was found to have numerous claim
ants and to save controversy and time the
government was obliged to buy up all ad-
verse claims, paying five thousand dollars
for them.
The remainder of the appropriation is to
be applied to the purchase of lands adjoin-
ing the station proper, for the garrison
that may eventually be quartered there.
The remaining funds will be applied to
the construction of a landing and wharf,
