Captain of State Steamer Accomac.

MIR. EDIToR:-Capt. Costin's state
ment is correct in every sense of the
world; in fact, he has made a light
statement of it to what it ought to
be. My log book corresponds with
his in every way, which l am willing
to swear too. can testify, that
Captain Costin was in the sound
every day, except on the 10Th, then
he was in Tangier Sound. On jan
uary 18th, 1896, steamer Accomac
towed me out of the ice; on that day
no boats re out.
They claim, dredging on 10Th Of
January. l was in the sound the en-
tire day, saw nothing of it. I was so
situated that 1 could tell if anything
was going on wrong. 1t was g. dead
calm all day with a drilling rain,
and had the boats desired to work it
was impossible for them TIC do so, as
they had no wind to work with.
On January 23d, they claim, shot
at some dredgers and then went up
Messongo. My gun has not been shot
at a dredger this season. On that
day it was very stormy. wind heavy
from northeast, no sail boats out in
the sound at all; saw the steamer
Accomac in the sound at II a. N. and
at 2 p. IN. Itwas blowing gale from
northeast and continued so all day.
l hope my readers, that you will see
from the two letters that we have
been criticised by people that know
more about other peoples affairs
than they do their own.

THE PARIS EXPOSITION.

American Exhibitors Likely to Fare
Poorly Owing to Delay of Congress.
The French government has asked
she state department for the name OF
the commissioner general who will rep
resent the United States at the inter
national exposition in 1900, and for such
other information available as to the
participation OF this country. Acting
Secretary Rockhill has replied that the
commissioner general has not been
named, as the American congress took
no steps at its recent session TO por-
vide for American representation at the
exposition. he expressed the belief.
however, that the approaching session
Of congress viii bring about an accept
ance of the invitation of the French re-
public.
President Cleveland called the atten-
ton of congress 10 the invitation in his
annual message last December, but con-
gress acts slowly on these affairs, and
DO measure was considered. Itappears,
however, that Great Britain, Germany
and other leading powers have been
quick to accept, and the French govern
ment is allotting space to these coun-
tries. American exhibitors are begin
ming tc make inquiry as to where their
goods will go, but no answer can ba
given TO them The prospect is that thu
best space viii be taken before the
United States accepts the invitation.
This was the case at the last exhibition.
where American exhibitors were az
much disadvantage in point Of loca-
ton
II is expected that congress will pro-
tide for \ commissioner general and an
assistant. This was the case at the last
French exposition. when Gen Frank

ANCIENT EGYPTIAN CRAFT.

One OF the five known oldest boats in
The world has been added to the treas.
tires of the Field Columbis1 museum.
it is installed in the transportation de-
partment, having been shipped only q
few weeks ago from the Gizeh museum
Of antiquities at Cairo.
The museum Is indebted TO the lib
erality OF Mrs. Cyrus Il Mccormick for
the prize. Egyptologfsts assert it was
IN use at least $500 years ago, being
contemporaneous with the Dashur pyr-
amids OF the eleventh dynasty.
There five ancient boats were found
together recently, buried at consider
able depth, near the great pyramid.
The regular order in which they were
erranged led TO the belief they had been
purposely buried after having been
used In Transporting spices or other ma
terials for the embelming Of royal per
sonages.
The boats are OF cedar and were found
IN good condition, only about one-hfth
CT the woed having sucoumbed to de-
cay. The oars had disappeared, but
piece Of one of the rudders was OBJ
tanned fer the Field museum.

Mrs. Mccormick was one of = party OF
Chicagoans in Cairo when the ancient
loats arrived, and a. soon as IL was
known the Egyptian government could
be induced TO part with one bought il
for the Field museum.
