Nearly 100 members of the st. Paul

They arrived in time for luncheon,
after which they assembled In the
chapel where Secretary Hart, of the
state board of corrections and chari-
ties, gave {. short talk on what they
would see on tour of the prison. He
rehearsed the binder Irvine business
done by the prison factory during the
past seven years and said that the fac
tory had sold about $600,000 worth Of
Irvine since the factory was started.
The bad debts, he said, would not ex-
coed $1,000. Deputy Warden Lemon
next demonstrated the Beftillion sys-
tenn of measurements in vogue at the
prison and explained the system in de-
tail. The members of the chamber Of
commerce were also enlightened on the
parole and grading systems.
After the tour to the chapel the visi-
tors made a thorough tour of the pris-
on. visiting all departments of interest.

WASHINGTON Feb. 23-The fact
that in the very face of danger that a
foreign war may be forced upon us in
which our largest battle ships will be
called into play, the inadequacy of our
dry dock facilities has caused a good
deal of anxiety among naval officers,
in spite of their disposition to put a
brave face on affairs. AS the Atlantic
waters are those in which the fighting
will probably be done, and as we were
obliged not long ago to suspend work
on the Brooklyn dry dock on account
of the discovery Of it's grossly defective
construction, the question arises, why
we should be in the plight in which We
now find ourselves, with only one dry
dock on the Atlantic coast capable of
taking in our largest men of war-that
at Port Royal, S. C.-and that rendere 4
CT dubious usefulness by the fact
that the channel leading to it turns q
sharp angie and does MOB contain water
deep enough to maxi its passage safe.
The Port RoySi dock was one of the
governments sem;-compulsory invest
mentS. 1t was authorized, like the
Brooklyn dock and that at Port Or
chard. in Puget Sound during Secre-
tary Tracy's administration. No par
ticular complaint can be made Of the
dock itself, which is 627 feet long and
varies in breadth from Al to rs feet It's
location, as shown on the map, is all
that could be desired; but unfortunate
ly our ships are obliged to sail in water
and not across maps. The history OF
its authorization is typical of the his
tory of most of the work we have done
of late years as a nation; the chief end
sought has been lost sight of, because
some particular section of country was
jealous of the money spent in and for
other sections. We needed a couple of
new docks. Votes were required in con-
gress to secure the appropriations. The
Democrats had possession of the house,
and Mr.. Herbert, OF Alabama, was
chairman of the naval committee,
naturally with large Influence in all
discussions of naval appropriations and
kindred affairs The Pacific coast mem
bers had formed combination and de-
manded a dry dock at some point on
the northwest seaboard convenient for
docking the war vessels which they be-
lieyed, or affected to believe, the gov
eminent would have to keep in those
waters in order to hold the British and
Canadian spirit Of aggression in check,
1t was obvious at an early stage of
the discussion that dry dock must be
built on the Pacific and another one on
the coast of some Southern state
bordering either on the Atlantic or on
the Gulf. Southern opinion was divided
between Port Royal and New Orleans.
1t was thought then and is still believ-
ed by many good judges that New
Orleans would have been the better
point, but there were some technical
difficulties in the way and the South
Carolina delegation made the most Of
their opportunity. Mr.. Herbert. as

FARGO, n. D.. Feb. 23-Indian
Agent Getchell, of Fort Totten, was in
the city this afternoon with q band
of. Indians who are in attendance at
the United States court. They will
continue their journey as soon as they
are through in this city to. Washing
ton, where they have a complaint to
lay before Uncle Sam. Their chiefs
names are Tiynaiste, Waannatan and
Mothoci, and they are accompanied by
William Grant as interpreter. They
represent the tribes of Cutheads and
Sissetons.
They claim that they have been cut
oft from the treaty made with them
In 1852, for the reason that they were
considered hostile and participated in
the Minnesota masSacreS in 1852. They
claim they had nothing to do with the
affairs of those days and they want to
be given what they have been deprived
of in the way of provisions, etc, since
1862
They will also lay claim to land
claimed by them to have been cut off
from the west side Of the present reser-
walton by a mistake in surveying, the
wording of the treaty giving them the
! land being land from the most west
erly point of Lake Minnewaukan or
Devils lake to the nearest point on the

made it from the most westerly point
Fof the lake to the nearest point on the
Sheyenne by direct line, thus cutting

their reservation.
