THE HANCOCK STATUE
It Was Placed Upon the Pedestal Early
Tnis Morning.
Arrangements for It's Dedication Not
Yet Fully COmpIctcd-An Inn
posing Parade Expected.

Col J. NJ. Wilson, corps of engir GERS, who
has the matter in charge the personal
representative of Secretary Lamont, is
making arrangements for the public dedi
cation of The equestrian statue of Gen.
Hancock in this city about the middle Of
next month The statue is entirely COM
p.cted and was placed in POSITION on its
granite pedestal in the reservation az the
intersection of Pennsylvania avenue and
1th street at an early >hCur this morning
1t was raised by derlicks and securely
oolted into place. There was no ceremony
about the operation, and it was all over
before any but those directly connected
with the work even knew that it was con-
teHplatet 50 soon
Concealed From Public View.
The statue is enveloped in canvas COW
ering that will not be permanently re-
moved until the day set apart for its for
NAL unyeling. Ii will be temporarily re-
moved in d few days, however, just long
enough to permit inspection of the
statue by the national commission charged
With It's erection. This commission consists
of Secretary Lamont and Senators Mills of
Texas and C0ckreil OF Missouri Their in
spection is for the purpose of seeing that
the sculptor Mr. Ellicott, has executed his
work in strict accordance with his COLI
tract with the government. This action is
preliminary 10 the formal acceptance of the
statue and the payment of the balance due
upon it.
Dedication Arrangements.
Col. Wilson informed a Star reporter to-
day that the arrangements for the dedlca-
ton of the statue have not yet been fully
completed, although 1t had been practically
decided that the ceremony should take
place between the 10th and the 18th of May
TIE exact day will be left open until after
the wishes and convenience of the orator
OF the day and the chief marshal of the
proposed parade are known. Those officers
have not yet been finally selected These
important details will probably be arranged
in few days. They are subject TO the ap-
proval of the national commission, one of
the members of which Secretary Lamont
is out of the city for a few days.
An Imposing Demonstration.
1t is settled that the dedication of the
statue will bc made the occasion of a most
imposing military demonstration, in which
all the available federal troops at Washing
ton barracks and a Fort Myer, the Nation
al Guard of the District, all the local posts
of the Grand Army of the Republic the
Union Veteran Legion and the Second
Army Corps will participate.

cutaway and cutaway sack styles
finely lined and finished as
only expert workmen know how
You're better off with one OF
them than with many other
S12 and SIS ones.
We are doing as well for boys
as for the men.
We have sold an immense
quantity of those Boys Wash

can take your choice of any suit
for 39c. They are fi1ely braided

STRIKERS IN CONTROL.
Street Car Traffic in Milwaukee at q
SfaudStill.

Milwaukee, Wis, May S.-The strike
situation has not changed materially to-
day. The strikers are apparently in con-
troll. Fewer cars are out than yesterday
morning.
The tracks are blockaded in many parts
of the city. The people who would ride
in the cars are afraid TO do so, fearing
a stray stone or bottle.
The council and Merchants Association
arbitration committees we're in session this
morning, and it is possible that the COM
pany can be forced into a settlement, but
not probable.
The council will meet at o'clock this
afternoon, and if arbitration is failure
popular clamor will force it to repeal the
franchises of the company, and an appeal
to the courts will result, as in the Brooklyn
strike.

The closer
you look
the better

Our clothing will stand
close examination = every
thing is there that should be

Nothing's there that we're
ashamed of-nothing we want
to conceal.
You can't tell much about
the sewing and trimmings in
a garment till after you've
worn it awhile. If the
trimmings and workmanship
are poor-it means torn lin
ings-ripped seams-buttons
coming off = dissatisfaction.
1t seldom happens to our
goods-they're most always
right.
We're selling lots of SIS

ever before. Rough Scotch

I tweeds in some of the prettiest
