APPROVES THE SITE
PRESIDENT PLOUGH ON THE SUG-
GESTED UNION DEPOT

Thinks the Location Would he an
Admirable One. hut Says Some
Roads Would Have to Make Con-
cessiOns to Others-OpiniOns of
More Wholesalers and Retailers.
Some additional views in regard to
the proposed change of site of the
Union depot are presented below 1t is
evident that there is no element in
the wholesale community opposed to
the proposition, and from a conversa-
tion with A. B. Plough, vice president
and general manager of the st. Paul &
Duluth, and president of the union de-
pot board of directors, there is ground
for believing that the plan, If it should
be found practicable in its development
would be regarded as of much advan-
tage to st. Paul even by the railroad
people themselves.
Emphasis is always laid upon the
fact of the remoteness Of the present
union depot from the improving por-
tionS of the city; also upon the fact
that the tracks cannot climb the hills,
and the utter lack of street car facili-
ties in the interests of the retail trade
The location suggested, at East Sew
enth and Kittson streets, meets with
universal favor, but in order to bring
all lines together at that point con-
cessions must necessarily be made by
the lines now there. While the dis
lance between the present site at the
foot of Sibley and the proposed new
site at East Seventh and Kittson
streets is not great, the fact must be
borne in mind that no railroad COM
pany likes to pay tribute to another in
the way of trackage rights. This fea-
tUre would doubtless enter largely into
consideration in the perfection of a
plan for effecting a change.
The Milwaukee, the Burlington, the
Chicago Great Western. the st. Paul &
Duluth and the 800" line would all
be affected in this respect by the
change.
Even Mr. Plough admits that the To-
cation would be an admirable one for
n central depot if these points could be
satisfactorily arranged amongst them
selves, although he says the subject has
never been presented to the board of

where he went fortnight ago with a
number Of the firms buyers to purchase
stock for the approaching season.
Mr.. Evans says that during his stay
in the metropolis there were many
Western retail dealers on the same
mission as his, and that the wholesalers
report liberal purchases of new goods
for the spring trade.
Credits, Mr.. Evans says, are at the
present time in very much better shape
than a year ago. and, although the
war scare is affecting stocks in the
Eastern money market, its effect upon
commercial matters is very slight. He
found money remarkably cheap. and
throughout the big Eastern cities the
general feeling is much better right at
the beginning of the spring activity
than it has been for number Of years.

As TO PRIVATEERING.
United states Has Not Yet Agreed on
a List of COntraband Goods.

WASHINGTON, April M.-The Spanish
decree published by the Gaceta as to the
attitude of that government regarding
privateering and the question whether or
not coal shall be held contraband of war
was discussed by the State Department Of
ficials to-day. In response to questions put
to him by a representative of the Associated
Press, Judge William l.. Penfeld, the So
licitor of the department. made the follow
ing unofficial statement, which he said is
not to be regarded as indicating in any way
the action and policy of this government,
but is given for the information Of
merchants and shippers:
This government has not yet officially
prescribed list of articles which it will
treat as contraband of war. If Spain has
taken any such action it is not yet made
public Each government is competent to
prescribe it's own list for the guidance of its
own authorities. Such list is conclusive
upon the government making it and on all
neutral nations in the absence of any dis
regard of treatys engagement and of in
ternational law. Any gross disregard of
such law or treaty obligation would per-
haps provoke the interposition of any
neutral state affected Until such list is
prescribed the question whether articles
captured are contraband of war will be
governed generally by the law of nations.
and specifically by the treaty stipulations
between the belligerent captor and the
neutral state TO whose subject the articles
belong. International law gives no hard
and fast rule for the determination of the
question whether articles are contraband
except the general rule that all articles of
an essentially warlike character and des-
tined for an epemys use are contraband.
Many articles, such as provisions, coal, etc,
are of an equivocal character, and if des-
tined for the enemy 8 use are deemed con-
traband.
1T follows that if such lists should be
prepared by the United States and Spain
they may be identical. or may be widely
divergent. depending on the policy of each
government. The action of each govern
ment will bind only itself and its own prize
courts and neutrals. The question whether
contraband or not might therefore depend
on whether the captor was American or
Spanish, and shippers in neutral vessels
would not only consider the character of
the goods shipped, but whether destined for
American or Spanish ports, and whether the
goods are included in the list denounced as
contraband by the one or the other state.
This government has already announced

THOUSANDS SAW THE DRILL.
Battery A Had an Unprecedented At
tendance Yesterday.


Two thousand people gathered at the old
baseball grounds, corner of Senate avenue
and Sixteenth street yesterday afternoon
to watch the Light Artillery go through fits
evoluhons The multitude was not the ordi-
nary Sunday crowd" but was composed OF
the best people Of the city, together, per-
haps, with some of the worst. They came
afoot, awheel and in carriages, from every
direction, all surging toward a common
point like the crowd on SHOW day" Many
thought there was fire or dog fight, and
fell in line with the others. When they got
to the scene of battle they stayed and
watched the battery for an hour of hard
drilling.
Captain Curtis had 80 men in line. some
in uniform and some in their Sunday
best" but all drilling as If the Spanish
Dons were on the same campus competing
for a prize. Inside the armory across the
street Sergeants Van VIE and Strickland
had an awkward squad of about thirty
men, giving them instructions in the
groundwork of the tactics. At no time have
so many artillerymen drilled together since
the organization of the company. Hardly
dozen men of the 100 who have been mus
tered in were absent and some of these
only escaped at the last minute because
they didn't wish to soil their good clothes.
Some of them professed scruples with re-
gard to breaking the Sabbth. but they were
made to understand that lighting man
knows no Sunday. The large crowd was
accounted for by the fact that Captain Cur
tbs had ordered his meia to assemble at the
armory at o'clock. Many OF them thought

were on hand accordingly. When they

About ten shots were sent in the direction
of our ships, bnt not one of them took ef-
feet, and no shots were fired in return.

the utmost GOODNESS. There is no necessity
for stopping the signals. Go ahead"
A little later Captain Chadwick was on the
forward bridge, whence he watched the
tongues of flame shoot out from the MORO
Castle. He glanced III the direction of the
Spanish Notifications for a few seconds and
then turned his back on them in silent con-
tempt and went back TO his bed, perfectly
certain the Spaniards could do no damage
at five miles which was the approximate
distance of the flagship from Morro Castle
Another officer said: THE Spaniards
probably became nervous and decided they
could not stop without some fireworks.

There was no excitement on board the

Spain has issued royal decree
maintaining the right to resort to
privateering, and announces that
for the present only auxiliary
cruisers will be employed. All
treaties with the United States are
annuIIed. Thirty days are given
American ships to leave Spanish
ports, and these rules will be OBJ
served. Neutral flags will cover
the enemy's merchandise, except

chandisc, except cOntraband of
war, is not seizable under the en-

Sleep and Dreams.

Ctfom the London SPECTATOR
The letters on sleep and dreams in the
Spectator remind me of a case in the ex-
perience Of Agassiz. and which he told me
himself. though ii is recorded i'm his
work on the American fishes. He was
studying a fossil fish in the Jardin dos
Plantes, but had never been able to deter
mine the species to his satisfaction. After
a time he dreamed that he caught the
very fish, and without difficulty deter
mined the question. thinking, as he woke
from the dream, that he would have no
difficulty But on returning to the fossil
something in the dream had ESCAPED him.
and he could no more determine the
species than before. The next night he
had the same dream, and again forgot
the essential point. He then determined
to take a pencil and paper with him to
bed. and make his note as soon as he
woke The dream came the third time
but to his surprise on fully awakening he
found the drawing made and lying on the
table bedside. with three bones displayed
i'm il which were not visible in the fossil
and which solved the problem. On re-
turning to the Jardin des Plantes he OBJ
tanned permission of his friend the direc-
tor, to chip away a scale of stone which
lay on the spot where the bones were in
the drawing, and found them there as his
drawing had given them. 1t is thirty
years since Agassiz told me the incident,
but those who have access to his history
of the North American fishes will be able
to read it in his own words in the intro
duction, and correct my version if my
memory has in any detail failed me.
