| Through In spite OF the Policeman.
Senator Mark Hanna got away from the Presi-
Dental party soon as he could, and wandered
| about around the tomb. bent upon seeing all
| that there was to be seen. About 4 o'clock
he met Senator Daniel OF Virginia and
Gen. Anson G. McCook on tho bridge over
the triumphal arch. under which the
troops were passing in review. Half a
| dozen park policemen were on the bridge to
see that the crowd was kept moving. No one was
allowed TO stand more than ten or fifteen sec
onds in one place. When the General from
New York. the Senator from Ohio. and the Sem
ator from Virginia met. they stopped an began
discussing the ceremonies OF the day, the parade
and the man whom the thousands had gathered
to honor.
Senator Daniel. who is Confederate veteran
and who has carried crutches ever since his left
foot was shot away in the campaign OF northern
Virginia, began to tell story. which commenced
like this:
Senator Hanna, this is a grand spectacle,
not so much for the pageant, for the lesson it
teaches. Thirty years ago you and !. Gen. Mo
Cook, were fighting on opposite sides. To-day
these ceremonies and this pageant show that
there is only one flag and one country. And that
reminds me"
Please move on, gentlemen, you mustn't
stand here" exclaimed one of tho park police
men who was guarding the bridge.
The three distinguished gentlemen paid no
attention TO the policeman. and Senator Daniel
continued:
lone of my constituents came on to Washing
ton the other day to ask me IL couldn't do
something to stir up war between the United
States and Spain. asked him what he wanted
such war for, and he said -"
"Gentlemen, you will have TO move on. Can't
lot any one stand on this bridge. Them's my
orders"
Not one of the gentlemen turned his head to
show that he heard what tho officer had said,
and Senator Daniel resumed:
He said that he wanted u with Spain.
just to give the Yanks and Johnnes n chance to
fight on the same side 10 see which would stick
the longer"
Just as the story was finished tho policeman
came along again. looked at the two Senators
and Gen. McCook for moment. and then
shouted:
" Look ahear. I've asked you men three times
to move along and you haven't budged. My
orders is to allow no one to stand on this BRIDGE
and now You movc."
senator Hanna went to the policeman and said
quietly:
You. II we're not wanted here wen move on"
Just as Senator Hanna said this Police Ser
Rcant came up, whispered something to the
policeman. and then said:
"Gentlcmcn, it's all right You're at liberty
to stand here as long as you like. You have

of tho bridge. Looking down on the National

Tho Selection or tho Design 20 he Left TO tho
Municipal Art society.
Gen. Porter in remarks concerning tho build
ing of the monument, at the conclusion of his
oration, made an announcement on point about
which many questions havo been asked and
some guessing has been done by people who
have seen the tomb and pictures of the archi-
tect's first design for 1t. Gen. Porter said:
"The monument Itself Is now completed. Pro-
vision has been made for colossal statue to
surmount the dome of the tomb, the work upon
which will begin without unreasonable delay"
Most people, perhaps, who have looked at tho
monument have supposed tho dome completed
with the plain final that ends the cone us that
seems In keeping with tho Doric design OF tho
whole. Others have questioned whether the fiat
top stone werO to carry work OF sculpture.
Gen. Porter gave no particulars about the statue
which he said would be added to the monument
Cornelius O'Reilly, Chairman OF tho Building
Committee, who turned the first sod when work
upon the monument was begun six years ago
yesterday. told reporter for THE Sun last
evening that tho statue was to be designed by
the Municipal Art Society. and that il would

WIN. RANDALL ROBERTS.

William Randall Roberts, a former
merchant prince of New York, who
was also politician Of international
repute, died Monday of paralysis,
charity patient in Bellevue hospital.
Roberts was United States minister
to Chile in Cleveland's first administra-
ton. On May IS, 1883, Roberts was
stricken with paralysis in Santiago,
and in the following year he was
brought back to New York by G. M.
Sieberts, former secretary of the
legation, and lived with him, although
he had wife and son here, ever since,
until the second of this month. On
that date he was sent by Sieberts to
Bellevue Mr.. Roberts was born in
County Cork, Ireland, in 1880. He re-
ceived an academic education and came
to the United States in 1S49. He Sc
cured employment with A. T. Stewart,
and eventually started in the dry goods
business for himself on the Bowery.
His store was called the Crystal pal
ace, and was we'll known as the most
typical establishment Of its lind.
Roberts did an immense business
and he retired with fortune that
passed the million-dollar mark, in
1869. His real estate holdings were
extensive. After retiring from bust
ness, Roberts went into politics, and to
this his widow ascribes the loss OF a
greater part of his fortune, In 1859
he was elected representative from
this city to he forty-second and forty
third congresses. In 1877 he was
elected alderman-at-l large, and he was
president of the board OF aldermen
that year and the next. Roberts was
leader OF Tammany hall up to the
+; time of his going to Chile. He held
office until Patrick Egan replaced him
under the Harrison administration

national matters He was president Of
the Fenian brotherhood at the time
OF the raid into Canada. by General
John O'Neill. in June. 1866 For the

tlcnal episode. he was arrested by order

AFTER A BIG INDUSTRY
Duluth and Superior want the Govern
ment Armour Plant.

West Superior, Wis, Aug. 24.-The
head of the lakes bid for the location
OF the government armour plate plant,
worth between 100000 and $3,000,-
900, is assuming some shape. Prepa-
rations are being made to entertain
the combined delegations of congress-
men and senators of Wisconsin and
Minnesota, who are arranging to look
the situation over, Capt. Alex. Nc
Dougall of the American Steel Barge
company taking a leading part in the
negotiations. A conference between
Congressman jenkins of this Wiscon-
sin district and Congressman Page
Morris of Minnesota with Capt. Nc
Dougall and Maj C. b. Sears, the gov
eminent engineer, has resulted in
plan OF showing the visitors about
when it is known that they will arrive.
To give them thorough understand
ing of the situation it is thought that
it will be necessary to show them all
of the tributary sources of this local
ity, particularly the great iron depos-
it's of the Mesaba and Vermilion
ranges. than which there are no great
er on the American continent. 1t is
proposed to have a special train for
showing these places to advantage and
also the possibilities in the way OF
sites on both the Minnesota and the
Wisconsin sites. The visiting dele
cations will also be made acquainted
with the possibilities embodied in the
Jay Cooke water power scheme where
by the falls of the ST. Louis river,
few miles above this city, are to be
made the means of the transmission OF
sufficient electric power to run all OF
the industries of the head of the lake
if desired. The matter of sites is still
in the distance, but the cities of Su-
peror and Duluth will in this instance
pull together for the prize if it shall
be made possible to bid for it. The
suggestion of Capt. McDougall that
with the immense harbor dredgings
of the bay and river going on under
the big government contract, an
island be made just above the North
ern Pacific bridge, be government
land and connected with Wisconsin
and Minnesota by bridges, is meeting
with considerable favor.

mentarily, you think it's a strong

Archie. How did he finally convince
you that you'd made mistake in re-
gard to that quarrel?"
BY way of response the determined
girl blushed wildly.
Well" she said finally, after max
ing two or three false beginnings, HE
was very sensible about it. We both
decided, when he gave me my engage
ment ring, that we'd be sensible what
ever else we were, and we never act
foolish as some people do. So he
just talked to me sensibly and TO show
that he wasn't angry he brought me
some lovely Jack roses. Then-then

around me, but not all the way, Pm

kiss me just once or so. And then"
"Wen?" queried the sarcastic girl
mercilessly as the other paused to
smile to herself and go off into a
castle of dreams, what happened
then? How did you make up the
quarrel at last?'

blushing again and again and still
more wildly, II don't quite know,
