AN OBSERVATION TOWER,

ing the left Of the assault Of the Army
Of the Cumberland, from portions Of the
park Congress has also authorized the
adding to the park Of Hooker's and
Walthalls battle ground on Lookout.
The government already owns the roads
to and over Lookout mountain, Hooker's
field, to Wauhatchie on Longstreet's
field. The park and its approaches
therefore embraces or Overlooks the field
Of five days Of general battle between
great armies and three days of minor
engagements, namely: Chickamauga,
Orchard Knob, Lookout mountain and
Missionary Ridge, Browns Ferry and
Wauhatchie.
The Fields VIII he Restored.
1t is the intention Of the park COM
mission to restore the fields as
nearly as possible to their con-
dition at the time of the battle, to close
all new roads and reopen and improve
those used in the battles and over which
the armies moved to and from the fields.
The lines of battle have all been ascer-
tanned and vast amount of work to-
wards permanently marking them has
been done. This is accomplished by
historical and guide tablets, which point
the way to and explain the movements
upon every portion of the lines. These
tablets show the organization of armies,
corps, divisions and brigades, with the
names Of their respective commanders
and their stats on the field and the com
manders of all regiments and batteries
Full historicsl text on each tablet sets
forth the details of movement at each
point.
No Distinctions Are Made.
There n no distinction in the prepara-
ton of the tablets between Union and
Confederate forces, nor in any other de-
partment Of the work Of establishing
the park is there any difference The
design is to mark with historical accu-
racy the identical ground of engage
ments which occurred ON these fields,
and thus present an object lesson in ac-
tual war such as no other nation has at.
tempted.
Besides the historical tablets which
are prepared by the government the
states are erecting monuments to mark
the position of their troops. Already
nearly $500, 900 has been appropriated
by states which had troops here, and all
| OF the states but two Of the 70 which
| were represented in the battles have
| commissioners at work locating posi-
tions for monuments.
| Batteries Are Mounted.
Over 400 guns of the batteries used
on these fields have been obtained from
the arsenals and 100 have already beer
mounted upon iron gun carriages of thu
war, and set up to mark the exact posi-
ton Of the batteries of each side in tht
battle. Eventually the whole 400 gu1
will be in position Visitors find thi'
one Of the most imposing features Of tb'
restoration, as they come upon batteries
Of real guns at every prominent point OF

One Of those hustling Americans
who always makes his presence
felt no matter where he happens to
find himself, conceived the happy
idea of issuing a publication rela-
tive to the passage of the Gaelic
while that vessel was temporarily
resting in Honolulu, This took
shape in the form of a one-page,
two wide columns edition
called The Gaelic Mirror. :"
It contains besides the pas
senger list numerous local
hits on those journeying to the
Coast by the steamer. The paper,
though small, is cleverly edited
and brim full of interesting matter
to those among whom it will be
circulated. It is dated cat sea,
April Both, 1885," and will afford a
fund of amusement to the passen-
gers by the Gaelic.

Walter Smith at the Front.

The Weekly Box of Curios, March
23d, published in Yokohama, has
the following to say of Walter G..
Smith:
"Walter G. Smith, the S. F.
Chronicles war correspondent, left
on Thursday evening week ago
for the front via Hiroshima, but he
could not or would not tell US his
destination. His impression is that
another battle will be fought before
peace is concluded, and when this
occurs, and Ii Hung Chang sees
the well-armed and well-drilled
soldiers that the Japanese will not
forget to stick under his nose, he
will realize that China's name is
Dennis,' and will be anxious to
make terms rather than permit
Japan to annex China as a summer
resort"

Document asking for Minister
ThurstOn's Recall.
Much Conjecture to the Exact
Lay of Land-Ameriean Minister
Thought to be Following Previous
ractfcs-TaIk About Washington.

NEW YORK, April 21.-The Tri-
bune's Washington correspondent
comments on the disappearance of the
letter asking for Minister Thurston's
recall, as Minister from Hawaii to
this country, as follows:
at is likely that the document is
now in Honolulu. But who has it?
Suspicion strongly points to Minister
Willis, although it is possible it may
be reposing in the Foreign Office, the
intelligence as to the fact being with
held for good reasons. Minister Willis
has on previous occasions kept back
important Information which he was
directed to deliver to persons in Homo
lulu. 1t will be remembered he did
not promptly obey the instructions to
notify the ex-queen that the Presi-
dent thought her a much-wronged
person and desired again to see her
seated on the Hawaiian throne.
'Mr. Willis thought it good diplo-
macy to proceed slowly in that in
stance, and did not seek an audience
with her dusky majesty for several
days after securing orders to execute
the wishes of the President, and take
the first formal step in the programme
of monarchical restoration.
In other words, he exercised sound
discretion in the matter. Is it not
probable that he deems it advisable
again to pursue discreet rather than
an abrupt course, and that the letter
of recall may be up his sleeve, as sug-
gested.
"Even diplomats acting under au-
thority of President Cleveland and
chance, show tact. Mr.. Willis may
have some special object in view in
withholding the letter. He may want
certain information or favors, or he
may not see prospect of having the
attention of the Hawaiian authorities
directed to such matter as the re-
calling of a Minister. The idea of
being "out of a job" is no more agree
able to Mr.. Willis than it is to any
other unfortunate in his party. He
may be exercising discretion, there
fore, for both his country's advantage
and his own good.
1.-The letter of recall is not here. IT
was written and mailed, there is no
doubt of that, and very likely it is in
Mr.. Willis possession, as Mr.. Hatch
has said that it is not in his Office.
Has Mr.. Willis held back the cOmmu-
nication and written to Mr.. Gresham
strongly advising that the demand for
the recall of Mr.. Thurston be not in.
sisted upon ? There are many persons
in Washington who believe that such
is the case"
