Connecticut Yankee Does Some Artistic
Work in Wood.
NORWICH, Jan. 1O-The old-time Yankee
whittlers are almost extinct in Connections,
vet there are one or two of them in the State
who have the leisure, patience and persever-
ance, and O jack-knife sharp and cunning
enough, to win glory. John Spencer, Of
WilIimantic, is about to exhibit several of
his masterpieces He has lately completed
seven war scenes, which comprise over 400
separate images. One scene is called "The
Foraging Scene" It represents q planta-
ton in the South, and the Union troops raid
ing it in quest of food. In one corner is n
log cabin, it's owner standing in the door
way, terror stricken, gazing helplessly and
anxiously at the lcoting operations going on
OF lot of razor-back Southern hogs, which
have been let loose, and a squad of blue
Jackets are in triumphant pursuit OF them
all about tho yard.
At the cabin door sits a boy in blue, who
appears to be making love TO dark-hued
da,nsel, who is partly listening to his story
and grinning altogether more interestedly
at the squea1ing pig Mr. Spencer says that
the scene portrays an actual affair that he
witnessed in the South, and that veterans
will recognize its verify at once. The sec
ond block scene portr3ys a battle between
Union and Confederate forces, and 2C0
wooden maniilins appear to be fighting. Mr..
Spencer spent two years cutting TINS pano-
rama into shape. The whole thing is Skill
fully done, and in liGe-like manner. yet
every bit of work on it was done with Con-
necticut jack-kniJe. Mr.. Spencer may ex-
hibit several OF his best and most elaborate
pieces at the Worlds Fair.

ruE PENDING JOB.

In an interval of rest from its late occu-
patton of demanding the gore Of Chile, the
New York Press reverts to its earlier
function of organ for the Nicaragua Canal
Job. 1t elucidates that subject with the
assertion that ''there is no partisan poll
tics behind the measure that provides for
a Government guarantee of the Nicaragua
Canal bonds,'' and adduces for proof
the introduction of Senator Morgan's reso-
luton in the Senate.
Quite true. The great jobs which are
counted by the tens of millions nearly
always rise above partisan politics. The
Credit Mobilier and Pacific Railway busi-
ness took in both Republicans and Demo-
Gratis in the policy of placing the money
where il would do the most good; and
there is no reason why canal job, which
starts out on still larger scale, should not
exhibit the same impartiality.
The organ of the canal ring further as
serts, that the enterprise "courts the fullest
publicity" Yet up to date it has failed to
give any publicity to an explanation of
how the surplus is to be used from Gov
ernment guarantee of S1OO,0OO,0OO on a
work which the engineer estimates to cost
S65, 900, 900.

supPRFssED BY EGAN.

The difficulty of securing accuracy con-
eerning the Chilean affair is illustrated
by the statement Of Washington tele-
; gram TO yesterdays DISPATCH that a
change has come over the tone of the
Chilean communications in referring to
the Valparaiso riot. Minister Malta, %
it says, Gin his reply to Minister Egan
October % last, spoke ofthe attack on the
Baltimore as an affair and as the dis
orders in Valparaiso Senior Pereira,
the present Minister, regretfully speaks of
the deplorable incident and the un-
fortunate incident. "
This assertion is evidently made in
good faith and is due to accepting the
version of the Chilean communications
sent to Washington by Egan without TAX
/ ing pains to ascertain what their language
| really was If the expressions referred to
as used by Senor Pereira are conclllatory
it is important that exactly the same
view of them was taken by Senior Malta
! in the note which has been so systemat-
ically represented as insolent and defiant
In the full version of Senor Malta IS note
of October %, the second paragraph refers
to the riot as ''the lamentable occur
renee" and thenext paragraph speaks of it
as ''the very deplorable event" 1t is true
that these expressions were carefully
suppressed by Mr. Egan in the abstract Of
Senior Matta's reply which he sent to this
country, together with the assurances
that the guilty parties would be punished;
but they will be found in the full copy Of
the document.
The disparity between the account Of
the riot given by the sailors of the Balti-
more and that given by the Valparaiso
police is serious. The truth can only be
positively arrived at by a public hearing
at which the testimony of both parties
can be presented. But the persistent mis-
representation which has been spread in
this country concerning the attitude Of
the Chilean authorities toward the affair
is illustrated by the fact stated above.

THE COMING WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Neither Branch Able to Do Very Much For
Some Time Yet.

Some Time Yet.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 10-On the calen-
dars of the Senate there is nothing of general
interest, (unless the old We'll and La Abra
bills may be thus characterized), and there
is little prospect OF reports coming from
Committees at an early day in the week, so
that beyond listening to speeches and con-
sidering nominations in executive session
there will be little for the Senate to do.
The House has no programme of business
for this week. 1t is still embarked on the
sea of general parliamentary practice" :"
and until a code of rules is framed. the
course of proceedings will depend upon the
conditions that arise from day to day. The
committees have as yet done nothing more
than effect an organization, SO that 1t Is
unlikely that any measure will be on the
next week. Under the temporary order of
the House made to facilitate business prior
to the adoption of a full set of rules, Mon
day will be devoted to the introduction of
bills under a call of the States. The Com
mittee on Accounts expects to report early
in the week resolution making the usual
assignment Of clerkships to committees.
of clerks to the smaller committees, which
may lead to a prolonged debate on the
necessity for economy in expenditures.
Mr.. Blount, ChairInA of the Foreign
Affairs Committee, has moved a reconsider
alton of the vote by which the House re-
fused concurrence in the Senate resolution,
making an appropriation to charter a supply
vessel for the relief of Russian famine suf-
ferers and if the opportunity comes, he will
endeavor during the week to have the
House agree to a reference of the resolution
to the Foreign Affairs Committee.

Russian Engineers Talk About the Great
Siberian Project Now Under Way.
CHICAGO, JAN 1o-The members of the Rus
sian Imperial Engineers of Construction,
who have for many months been surveying
for proposed extension of the great Gov
ernment railroad through Siberia to the Pa
cific. arrived yesterday at the Auditorium
on their return to st. Petersburg. The party
consists of Alexander Ryjof, chief imperial
engineer of construction under the minister
holding that portfolio in the government of
the Car, and his assistants, r. Daniewsk
and X. Ceglinski "Some years ago." said
Mr. Ryjoff, 81 went out to the Siberian port
of Vladivostock and made survey for that
portion of the road which is now completed
as far as Grafski, a distance of about 260
miles from Vladivostock. The survey we
have just completed takes the road 250 miles
still farther north to the capital of East ST.
IBERIA.
"Work has already been done also at the
connected by rail with st. Petersburg, 5000
miles away, but Jeheiiabisk is 4,670 miles
from Vladivostock, and as only 500 miles of
that distance have ever been surveyed you
see how enormous is the work proposed.
hope to see the whole line completed within
u years. 1t will then be but little less than
10000 miles long and will have cost 400 600, 900
rubles or about S200, 100000 in your money.
This will be Russia's first and only railroad
to the Pacific Ocean, and will for the first
time place her in direct communication
with an open port. The road in purely
commercial way will bring about great re-
suits. Siberia is rich agricultural country,
but at present is 5000 miles from market In
case of war with China the road would be
OF incalculable value"

ECONOMY IN EARNEST.
Deputy Marshals and Postmasters to Have
Their Perquisites Cut Of.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 1o.-An effor
will be made by a number of Democratic
Representatives in Congress to have the
Appropriations Committee recommend that
the fee system in federal offices be abol-
ished, so lar as can be we'll done. num-
Der OF Congressman, especially in the South
ern States, urge that the continuance OF the
fee system results in much hardship to peo-
pie in their States, through Deputy Marshals
and other court officers straining the laws
for the purposeof making cases in courts.
and thereby increasing the emoluments or
their offices. 1t Is urged that the Govern
ment would really save great deal OF
money by paying salaries to such employees
as are necessary in fee Offices, and requiring
that all fees shall he turned into the United
States Treasury. Vigorous opposition, how
ever Is expected to this reform and the Ap-
preparation Committee has not yet got TO
work, so that it is uncertain what will be
the outcome.
One OF the attempts to do awav with per-
quisites in Federal offices is of considerable
first class throughout the country. At pres
ent stamped envelopes are furnished 60
postmasters at q cost OF a fifth of a cent for
each envelope. No profit is realized on these
large lots. When sold singly; or in small
quantities, there is profit of four-ffths OF a
cent on each envelope, and Mr.. ONe1il, OF
Missouri, who intends to urge Congress to
change the practice, says that the result IS
a considerable profit at the end of the year
to the postmasters who are in receipt OF a
regular fixed salary. He will urge that here
after. stamped envelopes be furnished at
cost in scent lots, the price of the stamp
not included. The Governments, he says,
should not make profit on these and other
conveniences it furnishes to the people,
but should give them at cost wherever prac-
ticable and any profits arising where the
exact cost cannot be conveniently liked
should not go to Salaried officers.

The Height of Foolishnsss.


McKeesport Herald.l
That faithful little band of Sabbath pro
tectors-the Law and Order Sooiety-are
just now furnishing Allegheny county with
more amusement than the best side show
that ever travelled. They have done away
with many petty things that annoyed them,
and caused the temperature to rise under
the back of their coat collars, but now they
would attack an institution in which the in
telligent people of Allegheny county are
one and all interested. The Sunday news
paper, they say, must go, and In order to get
it out of the way they will strike ut the
newsboys and agents throughout the county
who sell on the Sabbath. For the present
they will not touch the propritors, editors
and printers. They are after the smaller
game at the start. AS experience is gained
they will mount to the higher planes of Sum-
day newspaper work. This is practically
the declaration of the society, made by their
officer, who is expected to do the work, at
the same time acknowledging that he is in it
for the fees.
Every fair-rninded man in the county will
admit that such crusade, made under laws
that are a relic of the past age, is the height
of foolishness. There is not even an ele-
