Vioksburg National Park.

MONTICELLO, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-The
subcommittee Of the Vicksburg
National Park association, which
was appointed to secure options on
the 1900 acres OF land surround
ing the city of Vicksburg occupied
by the armies Of General Grant
and General Pemberton during the
siege, have completed their work
and departed for Washington to
present their bill to Congress for
the purchase of that battlefield.
The land will cost them $2S per
acre, more than twice as much as
the lands on the Shiloh battlefield
would cost had the government
availed itself of the options held by
the Shiloh Battlefield association.
The committee considers the price
of the Vicksburg lands very reas-
enable, and will recommend that
the government purchase the 1000
acres, costing $4,000.

HARRISON'S MARRIAGE

Not Relished but Resented by the Family,
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 22.-The
marriage of Benjamin Harrison to
Mrs. Dimmick is not approved OF
by Mr.. Hsrrison's family. The
statement that Mrs. Mckee will
visit Indianapolis before the we'd
ding is true, but she will not come
to prepare home for her fathers
bride. She will visit friends here
outside of her family and will re-
move from her former home the
last of her personal possessions.
Friends here of Mrs. Benjamin
Mckee and Mr.. Russell Harrison,
and of the late Mrs. Benjamin Har-
rison, are surprised and annoyed at
the persistent report that the chill
dren of ex-President Harrison are
reconciled to his approaching mar
rage. Nothing could be farther
from the. truth.
AS matters stand now, the mar
riage of the eX-president will make
a distinct and possibly permanent
breach in lis family, and separate
him Indefinitely from his children.
Neither Mrs. Mckee nor Russell
Harrison are on speaking terms
with their Observation-Disclosures,
both having interposed an earnest
though dignified opposition to the
proposed marriage. Their opposi-
ton arises, they insist, not from
any dislike of their father marry
ing second time, but solely from
a feeling that the circumstances
connected with the history OF the
acquaintance which leads to the
approaching marriage make the
event an act of disrespect to the
memory of their mother.

the Abyssinians captured Makalle,

last. Previous to this report the

that King Menelik had invested
Makalle, and that General Bara-

to succor Makalle, the three APP
proaches to that place being al
most impossible from natural

Gently from the North. Very little
is known about her, but her repu-

upon selling her child in order to

A Desperate Captured.

BIRMINGHAM, Jan. 22.-Chas.
Burton, colored, one OF the most
desperate desperadoes in Alabama
was captured near Pratt Mines by
Deputy Sheriff Frank Phillips.
Last December, near Mitchell Sta
ton, Bullock county, Burton shot
and killed johnson Dalton, colored,
and badly wounded Mr.. Frank
Williams, white. The latter, with
Dalton as a guide, was at
tempting his arrest for a MUIR
derous assault ON female relative
and sundry other crimes. Burton
admitted that he killed Dalton,
but says a negro named Jordan
shot Mr.. Williams. He does not
want to 60 back, being afraid Of
being lynched by the white people
and negroes alike. There is a re-
ward OF 5000 for his capture.
Officers will come for him to.
morrow, but will probably not
take him direct to the scene Of the
crime on account of the intense
feeling against him, Mr.. Williams
being still in danger Of death from
his wound.

NEW YORK, Jan. 22.-The New
York comandery of the military
order of foreign orders of the
United States, held meeting in
the Breevort house last night.
After the business meeting a din
ner was given. Rear Admiral
Gherardi made the chief address of
the evening. He said: "The Eng
lish are as stubborn as we are and
they are just as proud. We have
inherited the same traits from
them. 1 can assure you that Eng
land will fight, but the last people
whom she wishes to fight with are
our states. None of these modern
ships have ever been in great fight
and we do not know what the re-
suit would be. There is not any
man who does not believe that
Monroe was right. But whom are
we going to fight for? About as
despicable and ungrateful a race as
ever lived. The South Americans
do not like us and you cannot de-
pend upon their word. They do not
have republic there In the sense
that we have. They have no idea
of anything but force Of arms.
When / was in Chile during the
Baltimore affair / heard 1t said
that the best thing we ever did
was to put hands on Chile. They
have no more use for us than you
have for a robber. However, this
does not affect the Monroe doctrine.
We should say to Venezuela that
no one shall interfere with her, not
because we love her, but be-
cauae she is on this side of the
water. In war with England we
would overrun Canada in less than
six weeks, but we have no ships to
fight. We could injure her COM
merce but we could not send body
of troops to Venezuela. II we made
the attempt We would get them
there about the time the adven-
lists end of the world shall come.
Today we have but few ships,
scarcely any battle ships. When
England sends out a battleship 1t
is accompanied by four cruisers.
We want battleships and until we
get them we shall not be prepared
to fight. l do not think they
would destroy New York, but they
might battle US up. 1t was shown
during the late war that the forts
can not stop the ships. England
has laid down two rules: First,
that her navy must be superior to
that OF any other power; and,
second, that it must not only be
superior, but superior to that of
any other nation that might ally
itself to any power at war with
England. England has such a
navy and 1 wish to God we had it.
Then 1t would be all right. Eng
land Is spending hundreds of thou
sands of pounds annually on her
coaling stations at Halifax and
st. Lucia. Every point about
these Notifications is closely
guarded
