1t II Being Built by Two Eodcarriers
and Two BrickIayers.
The Joy which lightened Dunbar alley
and made the gloomy Morgue as cheerful
as policeman on pension over the an
nouncement that work on the new Hall of
Justice would be vigorously prosecuted
until the completion OF the work nine
months hence was shaded by the fact that
only two hodcarrlers and two or three
bricklayers were at work yesterday on the
edifice.
With this for ce as a starter, there is q
suspicion that this beautiful building will
be ready for business before the opening
of the Paris Exposition. Several 10 cents
q meal restaurant-keepers in the vicinity
had gone 10 considerable expense order
ing a barrel of whitewash 10 beautify
their places OF business and to shed light
on the path of the shyster, but when they
observed the indecent haste with which
the building is not being erected they re-
scinded the order and have postponed
their whitewashing improvements for a
year.
1t is good thing, however, for the two
hod carriers for their job will last them
or five years at least; ditto the brick
layers.

and they end the troops will solve it.
Com manders were hard a work all yester-
day preparing for the solution, and
number of officers went out there in the
rain and wind TO look over the ground
and prepare obstacles to the free passage
of the besieging troops. The time set is
this morning, provided the weather be
favorable.
The field of the problem will include the
entire point, with the fort as the objective
point. The troops at the Presidlo, in
fantry, artillery and cavalry, will be
form OF blue and the other in their brown
workin g-clotbes. The creaking port
shutters of the old brick pile will be.
thrown open; the black muzzles of the old
smoothbores will grin out through the
walls, and sentries will challenge from
rampant and sallyport. The men will be
maneuvered according to secret instruc-
tions issued to commanders but with
every one else in ignorance OF the plan OF
campaign except through their orders, and
except that the old stronghold must be
vaiiantly held or bravely taken, according
to what the seniors have decided would
be best for the instruction OF The men.
The problem is one very similar TO those
worked out on the hills back of the army
camp at Monterey last summer. Those
were found so profitable an instruction to
the troops that it is the desire of Colonel
Shafter, the post commander, to con tin ue
them at nome. The besieging of the
peaceful old fort, whose garrison has been
for years a lighthouse-keeper and whose
portculis has been but sign mo ad-
mittance,n will be the first of these home
problems in the noble art of war.
The monthly muster and review was
held yesterday morning and there were
close to a thousand men in line. In the
absence OF Colonel Shafter Lieutenant
Colonel s. B.. NJ. Young was in command
OF the post, and Lieutenant-C Colonel Will
llston, Third Artillery, mmanded the
brigade. Colonel Young was accompanied
by his staff, consisting of Major r. h.

NAL meeting of the head camp, Modern
Woodmen of America. to be held here
June l to :, promises to be one of the
most important and largest attended
ever held by the order. Many matters
of vital Importance to the organization
are to be considered and there will be
lively fights about some of them This
is especially true regarding the .propo-
sition to again order the headquarters
moved from Fulton, ILL.,, to Rock
Island.
The reports of the head officers will
show that since the meeting at Spring

Sma h all of Them

Better news than the report that
there is solid majority in the Senate
pledged to oppose the sugar schedule
submitted by the Finance Committee
has not been received from Washington
since the Mckinley administra tion went
into office. Forty-seven Senators are
said to have formally committed them
selves to vote against the schedule, but
it is reported that it has not been def
nitely determined whether the Senators
will insist upon a. modification of the
Sugar Trusts differential or will vote
for resolution depriving all trusts of
any benefit from a protective tariff.
There should be no hesitation as to
the choice of the alternative. While
the Sugar Trust is the most canspicu-
our and scandalous of all the combina-
tions which have enjoyed the favors of
Congress and corruptly interfered with
the work of legislation it is only one of
several in the same boat and there
should be no discrimination on account

trusts. Let the Senate be just to the
trusts and smash them all at ouce.-

TURKEY OPPOSES ANCELL.
He is OBNOXIOUS TO THE
SULTAN.
TOO ANTI-MoHAMMEDAN.
the College Presidents Appointment
Should the Preiudiees Not Be
Removed, Another Nomina-
tion Will he Made by
the President.

WASHINGTON, May 3:.-The sultan
OF Turkey objects to receiving James
b. Angel as envoy extraordinary and
minister plenipotentiary of the United
States in Constantinople. Though. as
rule, government is not bound to
state reasons for considering a minis
ter persona non grata, the objections
to Professor Angel are said to be
based upon his connection with mis-
sionary societies in this country. 1t
is understood that Mustapha Bey, the
Turkish minister here, in formally
lodging the protest of the sublime
porte with the secretary of state, said
that the objections of the sultan were
based upon Minister Angell's ''mem-
bership in a Christian order whose
animosities against the Mohamet tan
religion were extreme" 1t is not
known which order Mustapha Bey re-
ferred to. 1t is likely that in Con-
stantinople some confusion exists as
to the true nature of the work of the
missionary societies in which Prof
Angel has for many years exhibited a
lively interest.
Professor Angel is in town, and has
been at the White house in consulta-
tion with the President. Presumably
an attempt will be made to remove the
unfavorable impression created in the
mind of the sultan and his advisers by
the selection of Minister Angel and to
convince him that though a friend OF
missionaries, the appointee of Presi-
dent Mckinley is clever and expert
enced diplomat, man of affairs and a
gentleman. If the attempt to remove
this prejudice against Minister Angel
should prove unsuccessful, there is no
remedy for him.

Did it ever occur to you it is rather
ridiculous the way railroads are man
aged? For instance, a road is built,
bonds are sold, officers elected and the
machine starts up. Bye and bye the
small holders are frozen out and pretty
soon the stock is in the hands of few
men who have no business honor and
they proceed to wreck the road. Then
the government must step in. The
property is taken in hand, debts paid,
everything put in shape and as soon as
the road is again on paying basis, it
is not kept and operated for the benefit
of the people but is handed over again
to the wreckers, who in their own good
time will repeat the process. Isn't it
about time every sane man should de-
mand this farce to stop?-The Union.
