FREEDOM ON HIGH
How the Lady of the Capitol was Placed on
Her Lofty Pedestal.

How many visitors to Washington ever
thought of how the immense statue of Free
dom mot the Goddess of Liberty, as she is
often enormously called) was raised TO the
hight of 300 feet at which she now stands?
This question can be answered by word.
derrick was the medium by which the heavy
masses of metal were carried above the dome
and placed in position. The statue, which is
19 feet six inches in hight, and weighs 935
pounds was raised in FIVE sections one at
time.
The raising of the statue to its place on tho
dome was accom- pished without accident of
any sort. 1t occurred just in the midst Of war
times, when patriotic feeling was aroused to the
point OF great excitement, which added to the
impressiveHess Of the occasion.
The figure was placed with face toward the
east, because that was the direction in which
the building WAS built 10 face, though the city
has built up chiefly toward the west.
The head and shoulders were placed in posi-
ton with great ceremony on Dec. 2, 1863, by a
special order from the War Department.. Sa-
lutes from all the forts about Washington to
the number Of IL, and from National battery
OH the Hill, were one of the features Of this
commemorative event, and ordered as mark
of respect for the material symbol of the prin-
cple upon which our Government is based
In his report Thomas U. Walter. then Archi-
tect of the Capitol, says Of this event:
" Precisely at IL M. OIL the aforesaid Cd day
Of December, 1863, the browning feature of the
statue was started from tie ground in front of
the Capitol by means of steam hosting APP
paratus, which has been successfully used in
the construction of the entire dome, and in 20
minutes it reached the hight of 300 feet, when
The National tribune. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1877-1917, 1893-10-05

In the House, Mr.. McRae called up and there
was passed bill relating to the disqualification
of Registers and Receivers OF Land Offices. 1t
disqualifes a Register or Receiver for determin-
ing any case in which he is interested directly
or Indirectly. He shall report this disqualified
tion to the Commissioner of the General Land
Office, who shall designate some other Register
to act
The Federal election bill was then taken up
and the House was addressed by Mr.. John c.
Black (Ill, d.. lie would not discuss the con-
stitutional question, even if it were true which
he dcnied) that there was constitutional
power in the Government to enact the system of
laws which it was now sought 70 repeal. It was
none the less true that for three-guarters of q
century after the adoption of the Federal Con-
stftution there had been no trace Of such laws,
and there had been instance of the exercise
of such power by the Federal Government
These la ws aroused distrnst and enmity. The
time had passed, if it ever had existed, when
these laws were essential By arraigning Soc
tional feeling they stopped the progress of the
age and thwarted the genius of the country.
They should be repealed.
Mr. Johnson lind, r. hesitated not in the
outset to stigmatise the repeal measure as the
climax of all that was atroeious and vicious in
legislation. IL repealed all that was near and
dear to the American heart.
Mr.. Breckenridge Ky, d. made a oonstitu-
tional argument against the Federal election
laws. These laws could not fail to be offensive,
no matter what party was in power. He

WAR CLAIMS.

Sums Congress Has Been and VIII be Asked
to Appropriate in Settlement.
West Virginia, western Maryland, northern
Virginia aud southern Pennsylvania are in
teusely interested in the liquidation OF claims,
both municipal and private, which have grown
out of the war.
Mr. McKaig is the one most active in this
matter among the Maryland Representatives
because his district. in the western part of the
State, most affected by the INVASION oil
rebel forces during the war.
During the last Congress he introduced bills
for private claims to the amount of $4,000,
and three claims growing out OF the Jnhal A.
Early raid one by the city of Frederick for
100000 and one by Hagerstown for $4,000,
and one of 81, 500 by Middletown. Although
these claims had been reported favorably by the
War Claims Committee, and would 10 doubs
have received favorable consideration in the
House, the condition OF the Treasury and
President Harrison's proclamation on the sub
iect precluded their settlement.
Last week, however Mr.. BetZhoover, of
PENNSYLVANIA, succeeded In having reported
favorably by the War Claims Committee his bill
for the payment of $3.447. 945.9i to residents of
southern Pennsylvania, WHICH failed OF passage
last year.
Mr. Beltzhoovers bill authorizes the pay
ment of the above sum to residents Of Penn
sylvania as adjudicated and liquidated by that
State under the provisions of act of the
General Assembly of the State, approved in 1871.
The Counties which suffered most from the
effects of the war were Adams. Bedford, Cum
berland. franklin, Fulton, Perry Somerset,
and York.
1t is claimed that these Counties, as well as
the State at large, were loyal to the Union !;
that they supplied full quota Of troops for
their defense; that these troops were with
drawn for the support of the General Govern
ment and hence arose the liability to incursion
and attack by the enemy.
These Penusy lvania war claims grew ont of
three expeditions into that State-in 1862 by
Gen. Stuart, in 1863 by Gen. Lee, and in 1864
by Gen. Jubal Early. On the 29th of July.
1864, the Confederate brigades of Johnston and
McCausland, consisting OF from $500 TO 5000
men. with six guns, crossed the Potomac and
advanced upon Chambersburg, the County
seat of Franklin County. The town was in
vested by the ehtire commands of Johnston and
McCausland. and demand made upon the
people for 100000 in gold $500, 600 in Gov
erDment funds as ransom, number of citi-
zens being arrested and held as hostages for its
payment. No offer of money was made by the
people, and the town was burned by the Con-
federate forces. The bnrning of Cbambersburg
occurred July 80. 1864. and resulted III loss
which was estimated by commissions appointed
by two acts of Assembly of Pennsylvania of
1868 and 1871. The most expensive raid to
Peunsylvanians was the raid of 1864 by Gen.
Early. Stuart's raid, in 1862, amounted to

ARMY AND NAVY,

Secretary Lamont has given instructions that
there must be no deficiency in the az Dropria-
ton for mileage in the army this year. He
holds that the $3.50, 900 yearly appropriated for
travelling expenses of officers under orders is
sufficient, and has instructed Department Com
manders to keep within certain limit.
The old warshp Alert has arrived at San
Francisco after a three years cruise in Asiatic
waters. Extensive repairs will be necessary to
place her in commission again, and several
months will be required before the work is
completed. Her Commander Capt. George F.
Durand, has been ordered before Retiring
Board
The Navy Department. has directed that the
Boston be placed oat of commission on her
arrival at San Francisco. The addition Of a
number of new vessels to the Navy recently
has drawn heavily upon the small number of
enlisted men allowed the service, and great
difficulty has been found in securing full
ships company for any one vessel The Bostou's
crew will he sent TO ono of the new ves5els and
she will be completely overhauied.
Commander w. N. IFolger, United States
Navy who asked Secretary Herbert to revoke
his years leave of absence and send him to sea,
is anxious to secure command of the cruiser
Cincinnati now constructing at the Brooklyn
Navy-yard. The Cincinnati will be ready for
trial i'll about 81 K months.
Instead Of winning speed premium of $780,
900, as was first stated. the gunboat Castine has
only earned $4,000 bonus for her builders.
In computing the speed error has been dis
covered by the Navy Department which reduces
her average speed from 16t knots 10 Isl. max
ing her time about the same as that of her sister
ship, the Maehias. During her run she was
allowed to exceed air pressure limit, which gave
her the additional speed.
Commodore Ramsay Chief of the Navigation
Bureau, has, in his annual report to the Secre-
tary made some interesting statements regard
ing the enlisted force Of the Navy. The total
number who applied for enlistment was
IG,460 men and 2,061 boys, of which LIT men
were rejected physically and 1,004 boys; 4,192
men and 173 boys were also declined enlistment
for other reasons. There were 939 deseTtions
among the men and 800 boys who left the serv-
ice. The quota of enlisted men allowed by law
is 1900. aud this is kept full the greater part
of the time
Secretary Lamont has bestowed upon Capt.
Il. A. darlington, 7th Cav, the Army medal of
honor for the gallantry displayed by that
officer at the battle of Wounded Knee, s. d.,
in December. 1890. With Lieut.. II. l.. Haw-
thorne I'd Art, Capt. Darlington was recon-
mended by Col. Forsyth for brevet for bravery
in the action with the Sioux. Both of these
officers wounded, aud both displayed
striking ard unhesitating courage and gal
lantry. Lieut.. Hawthorne has already had
the medal con lerred upon him.

Prot. Gyanandra Nath Chakravarti. who de-
lvered free lecture for the Blavaisky Theo-
sophieal Society last Sunday night, is one of
the very few higl-caste Brahmins who have
ever been in this country. The Brahmin caste
is higher than that even of King of India,
but their power is no longer as great az in the
old days. Prof. Chalk ravarti, although by virtue
of being away from India he has lost his caste,
can regain it upon his return by certain rigor-
Gus publication services. Only once before so
far as is known, has high Brahmin been in
this country. That was several years ago
when Mohni Mohin Ohatterji sacrificed his
caste in order TO accompany William O. Judge,

Chakravarti is Professor of Mathematics in
