BIRCH COOLEE MONUMENT
Asurvivor Objects to the Proposed Change
in Location.

Robert K. Boyd, a survivor OF the bat
tie of Birch Coulee, writes the floneer
Press for Fan Claire as follows:
Lam sorry to learn that the comm1s-
sion appointed to locate the Birch Coolee
monument has decided to place 1t near
the town of Morton, some distance away
from the battle ground.
AS a survivor Of that battle allow me
to enter my protest against this action
Of the commission. 1 don't believe the
leg1slature-or the people who pay Tor
the proposed monument intended to
authorize the booming CT townsites. or
the buying of battle grounds where they
can be had at the lowest price. 1t is
not true that any part of the battle was
fought near the Minnesota river. Our
corral was on the prairie about a rifle
shot away from the coulee, near the
northern limit of the timber that lined
the steep blanks of the creek. We were
surrounded and kept in the corral until
reinforcements came. Gen. Sibley came
from the prairie On the opposite side
from the Minnesota river, so that what
ever resistance the Indians made agains
him or Col. McPhail could not have
been near the proposed site for the monu
ment. After Sibley's arrival at our camp
he fired a few shells at the direction o
the town of Morton, but to the north
west, toward Beaver creek. If such {
monument is built it should be wher,

If tho monument is located away from
the battle ground it will only help to
perpetuate another error, which is that
our camp was made in the coulee instead
Of on the prairie, doing great injustice to
Capt. Grant, our Grave commander.
Build the monument in the right place
or don't build it at all.

desire to enter plea for the child
to recall the almost forgotten fact that
the supreme object of the child's educa-
ton is the child himself ...... The
examination is made the line which sep
arates the sheep from the goats; and the
nervous, anxious child views tsapproat h

as one would the approach "f the day of
Judgment The results of the exami-
nation determine the character of the
teacher and the standing of the scholar.
There is no appeal allowed from that
tribunal. The despotism of "per cent"
allows no rival -. The most practi-
cal education is that which awakens the
latent forces; which brings out that
which is within; which puts the child in
complete possession of himself and gives
him mastery of his own powers and ia
culties -. The oak and the elm grow
side by side; they derive their nourish-
ment from the same soil; they are
warmed by the same sunshine; the same
dews and rain fall upon each alike; yet
the elm rejoices in its beauty and the
oak is proud of its strength. The indi-
vlduality of the one in no way detracts
from the individuality of the other.
There is the same perpetual difference
between children. One is gifted in one
direction, and one in another 80. There
must be law and system; but law must
be administered in the interests of free

Ulcers died, bringing the total dead to

The Reichsanzeiger has published an
official account of the explosion. The
account says the accident happened
Through the breaking away of the fas-

steam on the starboard engine, and a
stream from all the boilers found in
gress into the engine room, filled with
people. The steam Scalded and pene-
trated through the door leading to the
port engine room and thence through
the stairways into the upper rooms,
continuing its work of destruction.
Almost every person busily at work
in these rooms must have met with
instant death, as the steam was pour
ing from the boilers at a temperature
of $50.
Nothing is yet known of the cause
of the breakage. The admiralty de-
partment has dispatched the chief con-
Istructor to Kiel, with instructions to
ascertain the cause of the disaster
The emperor has sent the following
telegram to Captain Boudemaun:

gineer adds: con the previous trips,
so much as 10000 horse power has been

serted before the disastrous trip by
the Vulkan company, the builders of
the vessel, who had the greatest in
terest in showing the capacity of the
engines at their best, because the YES

The spectacle in the engine room,
after the disaster, was horrifying.

Sixty Deaths From Fever Mt Rio
Janefro Yesterday.


Rio de Janiero, Feb. 17-[Copyright,
1894, by the Associated Press. There
were forty-five deaths yesterday from
yellow fever, and fifteen from other
fevers. The United States cruiser
Newark has gone to sea suddenly 1t
lis suspected she is tainted with the
fever. The Detroit left here week
ago, to look into the state of affairs at
Santos Paraqua and Desterro. She had
no fever on board.
Only seven foreign warships are here
and little is doing.
There is absolutely no truth in the
sensational reports that one of the rebel
warships had recently fired on a steam
launch belonging to the United States
Icruiser Newark.
The long inaction of the Nictheroy
land the America is due to lack of am
munition for their powder guns, and
also the fact that the weakness of The
government forts at Rio was such that
these ships could not depend upon
them for protection in carrying out the
plan of operations in the harbor The
plan was therefore, abandoned, and the
two cruisers have been lying at Per-
|nambuco and Bahia, awaiting the ar
rival of ammunition from New York
The Nictheroy and America have now
received ammunition and are in good
fighting trim.

Berlin, Feb. 17-[Copyrighted, 1894.
by the Associated Press. Prince
Arenberg, reporter of the budget com
mittee, has declared the committee
had arrived at the conclusion that the
central administration was responsible
for the recent African troubles, and
must, in the future, exercise greater
judgment in the choice of officials for
Africa.
Bebel, yesterday, made a savage and
sarcastic attack on the administra ton
in east Africa, and denounced. the pre-
tended civilization mission of colonial
enthusiasts. Upon resuming the de-
bate today, the members were aston
ished to find upon the table of the
house specimens of whips made out of
rhlnocerous hide, and other imple-
ments of castigation which, according
to Bebel, were used by the German
officials in east Africa, to lash the un-
fortunate Dahomeyans.
Richter urged that Germany ahan-
don her possessions in southeast At
RIGA, and be content with retaining her
northern possessions.
In reply to the criticism of too much
nilitaryism in the management of the
colonies, Caprivi admitted an infusion
of the trading element was highly de-
sirable, but unfortunately, people of
attainments and means were seldom
inclined to go to the colonies. Mishaps
occurred with all states, and it was
not just to blame the German leaders
for non-success.
After long discussion, the House
adopted the east Africa estimate.
A great convention of the Farmers
League, represented by 5000 delegates,
met tonight in Berlin. The leaders de-
nounced Won Caprivis tariff policy
In the strongest terms.
There was no conservative member
Of the reichstag among the speakers,
and the absence of delegates from east
ern Prussia was also remarked.

Many Safeguards Thrown Arount
Bank Note Makers.


The business of printing bank notes,
securities, postage stamps and railroad
tickets is one of the peculiar industries
which are rooted in New oYrk, Gays
the World, of that city. It is one Of
the things the public hears little about
because the details are zealously
guarded From the very nature Of the
business secrecy is of prime import
ance, both to thwart the schemes OF
eounterfeiters and to protect the in
tereStS of customers. Few there are
who can obtain permission to visit
these establishments. eff President
Cleveland" said the manager Of one
of the croncerns, wanted to look
through our establishments we could
not allow him to- There are half a
dozen bank note companies in New
York, employing in all about 1900 men
and representing a. capital of several
million dollars Formerly the print
ing of bank notes was their greatest
source of income, but a few years ago
this was transferred to the bureau of
engraving and printing at Washington.
At present a few companies do this
work for for foreign countries. But
they all print stocks, bonds, certifi-
Gates of shares and tickets. Their en-
ceive very high wages.
One of the concerns prints all Of the
postage stamps for the United States,
and does the same kind of work for
other countries, too They turn out
every year for the use Of American
citizens about 300,O00,0OO stamps and
send them to the various poStofficeS,
as ordered by the postmaster general.
The secretary of the treasury recently
recommend that this work be trans
ferred to the same department which
makes the bank notes at a saving Of
S125 600 a. year. The safeguards against
counterfeiting are the intricacy of the
engraving and the texture of the pa
per. The companies endeavor to Gre
ate particular designs that will be
hard to initiate. They print from steel
plates almost exclusively. The paper
used for securities, etc, is Of linen and
cotton rags and very tough. In it's
preparation great care is necessary,
and only a, few firms manufacture it
of silk thread interviewer with the
fiber. Bank note companies are pos
sessed of much important information
that they cannot disclose, and this is
one of the main reasons why visitors
aren OF welcome to their WorkrOoms
CorpOratins often give an rider for
stocks or bonds in anticipation of a
reorganization or increase of capital
Foreknowledge of this might defeat
the plans for the issue of the paper
There is little danger of information
leaking through employees. The work
ingmen are devoted to the interests of
the company they work for. Boys and
girls are taken into the various de-
partments when in their teens and
work themselves up to positions of re-
sponsibility. No woman have as yet
been able to get positions as engravers

criticism with good grace. Besides,

Loyalty and Kitchen Chairs.

Here is a little anecdote that has not
been told before. I think Some mem
bers of the royal family, driving
through a certain suburb the other
day Ton the way to open an institu-
tom, sustained a slight accident to
their carriage, which made it neces-
sary for them to make a halt while
the damage was repaired. A. black
smith was sought, and the distin-
guished party, three in number, alight-
ed and entered the shop. They were
according to their wish, accommodated
with chairs, and sat down to laugh
lingly watch the mending operations
When they had departed upon their
way again. that blacksmith had a
lively time, for his small premises
were beseiged by a crowd of suburban
magnates, who offered TO purchase the
chairs used by the royalties, at any
price. The independent smith did not
want to sell; but after some consid-
cradle difficulty, was pursuaded to part
with one, which now. silk cushioned
enameled and adorned with a royal
coat-of-arms, stands in the gorgeous
drawing room of -one of that suburb S
richest residents. a retired meat sales
man. And deep are the heart burn
ings OF the other local lights when
they enter this gilded drawing room

lhaps, the most envied MAI of all.--Pall

officially received here today. 1t is not
believed TO indicate that American in
terests have been placed in jeopardy
The idea that the Mosquito territory,
lying within the limits of Nicaragua,

British protection, is shown by Off
cial records to be erroneous. All ar
engagements which the United States
has made or attempted to make look
ing to the using OF the Nicaraguan canal
have been directly with the Nicara-
guam government. No official inter
course has been had with the authori-
ties of Greytown, and our consular

BROOKS CLUB.
The Famous London Club Which
Adopted the "Buff and Blue"

MIR. John Crewe, of Crewe hail. was
born in 1742, and was returned in 1858
to the house of commons as Liberal
member for Cheshire, mich seat he
retained until 1906, whens he was
raised to the peerage as first Baron
Crewe. In 1776 he married Frances
Anne, only daughter of ME-. Fulke
Greville, who was British ambassador
at the court Of Bavaria. 1t is Of this
lady, remarkable alike for her beauty
and her sprightly wit, that we read so
much in the works of Mrs. Delany, of
DR. Burney, and of his daughter,
Madame d Arblay, and in the lives of
Fox, Burke, Sheridan Windham, Fitz-
patrick and Hare. She was the object
of the once celebrated toast, Buff and
Blue and Mrs. CreWe," which was rap
turously drunk at all the house dim
ners at Brooks Cuban institution
which, in 1854, her husband had as
sisted to found, as a rallying point for
Wing members in the metropolis.
Among the twenty-seven noblemen and
gentlemen who banded themselves to-
gether to establish Brooks club were
included the Duke Of RoXburghe, the
Duke of Portland, the Earl of Strath-
more, Mr. Crewe and Charles James
Fox The first Wing club house of
that name was erected in Pail Mall;
but it soon fell into the hands of
Brooks, a wine merchant and money
ilender, and was by him transferred to
st. James street, where the building
now so we'll known to Londoners was
put up by Brooks at his own expense,
and opened in ITS. For many years
the members of Brooks were in the
habit of wearing as their ordinary
garb the blue coat and buff waistcoat
which they unpatriotically borrowed
from the uniform of the American reb-
els who rose in insurrection against
Great Britain in 1776, and fought in
the CONTINENTAL army commanded
by General Washington. We believe
that the last member of Brooks, by
whom an intimation of the American
rebel uniform was habitually worn,
was the celebrated Mr.. George Byng,
who died as member for Middlesex and
father of the house of commons in
I1S47 The last survivor of the original
member of Brooks was the first Lord
longed to the club siXty-five years.
Among the greatest curiosities of the
metropolis has long been reckoned the
old betting book of the club, into the
mysteries of which readers of ''The
Early Days of Charles James Fox" by
Sir George Trevelyan nave been
largely admitted. 1t will be found on
examination that the principal wager
ers whose bets were recorded in this
mystic volume were Fox, Sheridan.
George Selwyn, and Lord Carlisle. AS
an evidence of the universal esteem in
which David Garrick was held. it NAV
be mentioned that for many years he
was a member of Brooks'-a commit
