Retitting the Old Monitors.

Philadelphia, March 5.-Wcrk was
begun to-day on the old monitors,
which for years have been lying at
the League Island navy yard. There
are eight of these old fighters: The
Nahant. Lehigh, Jason. Montauk. and
catskill. each of 1875 tons displace-
ment, and the Canonicus. Mahopac and
Manhattan, of 200 displacement. Men
were placed at work ip the interior of
the monitors. The machinery of the
vessels will need but little attention.
1t is said that the monitors will be
hauled out into the main channel, so
that it can be ascertained just how
they will respond to the working of
their machinery. While this test is be-
ing made the turrets will be turned and
the guns put in operation. In the tur-
ret of each monitor are two 15-inch
smooth bore guns, capable of throwing
a 500 pound projectile.

Washington, March 5.-The war de-

obtaining the title to sufficient ground
at Point Wilson, Wash. on which it is
proposed to erect Notifications, because
the owners of much of the land are
scattered over the country, and trouble
has been experienced in securing their
addresses. The matter is now in the
hands of the department of justice,
which is doing everything possible TO
settle the question. The nature and ex-

pend on the money available

Superintendent Carleton Urges the Adop-
tion of Free Text Books.

ton of Free Text Books.
Special Dispatch to the Standard
Helena. March 5.-State Superintendent
of Public Instruction Carleton to-day
mailed TO every county superintendent in
the state letter of instruction az to the
coming school elections to be held April
2. in which he called particular attention
70 the number of trustees to be elected in
in districts containing a certain popula-
tion and to qualifications of electors. He
also says:
You will also advise your districts that
that they may do so at the coming April
districts did not adopt them last year
for the reason that they preferred to wait
and see whether the system would prove
a success or not. Such districts will want
TO be apprised of the success or failure of
free text books. From the reports of the
county superintendent on file in this Of
flee you are advised that the plan of the
districts buying all books and loaning
them free of charge to the pupils is de-
cided success. One county superintendent
writes that those districts which did not
adopt them last year now wish they had.
/ earnestly recommend that all districts
that did not adopt free text books at the
last election do so at the coming election.
1t is impossible to make any mistake in
adopting free books. In order to vote
upon the question of free text books 1t is

TANNED WITHOUT DISTURBANCE.
The Joint Trafie Association viii Get
After the Canadian Pacific for
Violation of Rules.

Chicago, March 5.-The troubles be-
tween the Union Pacific and the roads
which are members of the immigrant
house OF the Western roads have been
settled and the Unicn Pacific liz now q
member of the clearing house and the
joint bureau in which the Western
roads and the Atlantic steamship lines
are members. The charges OF the pay
ment of excessive commissions that
have been from time TO time brought
against the Union Pacific have been
proved false, and for the f1rss time in
many months there is chance of
maintaining the immigrant rates with
out disturbance.
The Western roads have agreed to
make rate of one fare for the round
trip for the annual convention of the
prohibirionists. which will be held in

Canadian Pacific road for alleged vio-
lation of the rules of that organization.

effort TO prevent the access OF the Can
adam Pacific into trunk line territory
over the lines of the Vanderbilt roads.
The relations between the Canadian
Pacific and the New York Central have
been close. and it is said thar pressure
Is 10 be brought TO bear upon the New
York Central to cause il to cease these
relations. The story. although cireu-
lated with great energy among the
Western roads. could not be definitely
