across the country in her father pri-

Whitney joined the Nanderhilts. With
him was his son. The object OF the Wis
it was an adjustment of certain rail
road interests that clashed While the
two men, Whitney and Vanderbilt,
were settling the railroad matter, che
young people were falling in love. 1t
began as long ago as that. Years after
Mr.. Whitney bought the estate opposite
Mr.. Nanderhilt's house on the corner Of
Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh street,
New York city, and the children We're
neighbors. From that time on it was
a steady courtship. NJ. Whitney, as
his fortune increased, gradually got
deeper and deeper into railroads. Now
he controls six. Mr.. Vanderbilt is dl-

made between the marriage of the

OVER THE IDEA.

CADETS MAY HAVE A CORPS.
THE ST. PAUL BICYCLE SHOW.

RumorS have been circulating lately
that it is the intention to detail BIZ
cycle corps under the auspices of the
regular military companies. 1t is an
established fact that the bicycle is des-
tined to become an important factor
in the wars of the future. 1t is now
no longer considered an experiment.
in all the leading armies of Europe
corps have been organized, and their
value for accommodating and scouting
purposes cannot be overestimated
They have also to a great extent dis
placed the infantry of the armies of
both England and Germany. Gen.
Miles, commander in chief of the Unit
ed States army, has undoubtedly an
experience that is second to none on
this side of the Atlantic, and in a re-
cent report recognizing the Importance
of the bicycle, recommends it to all
military companies who may be in q
position to avail themselves of it's use.
Lieut.. Leonhauser, who has charge
of the cadets of the state university,
was approached on the subject at Min
neapolis yesterday, and seems quite en-
thusiastic over the idea. He said that
it is practically a decided thing that a
bicycle corps will be detailed at the
u" Nothing particularly will be done
this year except as an experiment.
Some of the boys, who have wheels
will be gotten together immediately
and maneuvering commenced on the
campus. Next year a regular company
VIII be organized and accommodating
practice take place. During the winter
they will be sent out in different direc-
tlOnS with instructions to make sketch
eS of the roads and such other nota-
tions as are necessary for military pro-
cedure. Their time will be noted, and
such as do not give satisfaction will
be dropped from the corps, and new
volunteers taken in. The lieutenant
recognizes the fact that a man, because
he is a good bicycle rider may not be
adapted for this kind of work, as
special knowledge Of military tactics
is of the greatest Importance.
Col. G. McC. Reeve was greatly
pleased when he heard of the plan to
be inaugurated at the university. In
regard to detailing bicycle corps to the
regular companies in the Twin Cities,
he said that it would not, under the
circumstances that governed the COM
panies, be a practical thing, as the
companies as rule only met once a
week, and consequently could not get
the required pratice. He spoke highly
of the idea, and, in his estimation, it
was to be recommended wherever the
necessary time could be found.

GOING AFTER PIKE
STATE FISH OFFICIALS WILL
START AFTER THE SPAWN
VERY SHORTLY.
FULLERTON AND WATKINS
MET YESTERDAY AND PLANNED
THE ITINERARY OF THEIR
SPRING TRIPS,
CHANGES AT WILLOW BROOK
Are Also Talked Over and VIII BE
Made as Soon as Practica-

Executive Agent Fullerton, Of the
state game and fish commission, held
a long conference yesterday with Supt
Watkins, of the state hatchery at Will
low Brook, concerning the improve
ments which will be made in the ar
rangement of the jars containing the
spawn, and the tanks for the fish there
While the Minnesota hatchery is ad-
m1rably located for fish culture, it has
been handicapped a great deal by an
tique arrangements, and has fallen
SomeWht behind modern science in that
it is clumsy and wasteful of energy, if
not of money. There are no direct eX-
traVagances, perhaps, but there is not
the success being attained with the ap-
pliances that could be secured as easily
and as cheaply with devices indorsed
by the experts Of modern piscicuIture
1t is not certain that changes will be
made at once, as at this time the COM
mission Is somewhat embarrassed
financially, but as soon as the propa-
cation Of the hundreds of millions Of
wall-eyed pike contemplated is over,
many important changes will doubtless
be made at the Willow Brook hatchery
two for the Rainy river system, back
of Tower. Bassford's lake will be the
first point visited, as this is expected to
be one of the resources of the state in
the securing Of spawn. Mr.. Fullerton
was informed yesterday of an advanta-
geous place at the mouth of the Ver-
million river, also, and it is possible
that he will also make arrangements
for taking fish there.
Supt. Watkins will remain in the Mis-
sissippi and st. Croix regions taking
care of the spawn that are secur-
ed here. 1t is figured that with one
day at Grey Cloud and the next at
Alton, on the st. Croix, he can cover
beth streams, and with the assistance
of the United States hatchery at Du-
luth, which will loan the state trays,
jars and seines. it is expected that
there will be little difficulty i'll propa-
eating the 20O,0OOOOO wall-eyed which
1t is desired to place in the lakes and
stereams of the state in another year.
