As to the Selection of Camp Sites Only One Is Referred to tn
 Ills Answer.

 COVERED IN HIS REPLY.

 Secretary Alger has sent Q notice to Che war Investigating commission which in tho words of one Of the eomnisaion. CTS. 'dees not anwor.
 aIu the first place, said this commits sioner Eve asked who had been in1uen- tial in selecting the camp sites? The only anawer vouehsafed is that General Lee seleeted the camp Ut Jacksonville. do not tbink any other camp Is men, toned. But this omission will, no doubt, bo remedied in the supplemental report for which we will call on Seere- tary Alger "
 Secretary Alger's replies include about 5000 words, and in addition to the Jack souville camp matter, covers only these points; The selection af Tampa as point of authorization; Rear Admiral sampson'a dispatch the cause of hasten ing troops to Santiago; Commodore Be. mey'e dispatch the cause of the subse. qnent delay of the troops Discussion of thses topics exhaust che report.
 No attempt seeins to have boon made to explain the causes of tho haldships suffered by the soldiers in Tampa. The matter is brushed aside with apparent contentment in the relation that Tampa was considered Q good location and the most convenient point of authorization.
 Secretary Alger will ba asked for a fuller answer. The programme of tho commission for the weel is to have DO witnesses except those who may be caught passing through Washington The time will be spent ip reading tho voluminous report of the adjutant gen. eral, then the report of Surgeon General Sternberg and then the report Of other heads of departmental
 Members of the commission expect to leave for tour of the camps Q week from Monday They may go first to Camp Meade before 1t breaks hp They will go to Savannah, where Colonel Bryan will bo one of the important wit- uesses. The tour of the camps will, 1t is thought consume about two weeks. The commission will return to Wash ington, and later will go to Now York City.
 Tn New York two prominent witness es will be called-Colonel Theodore Roosevelt and Il. B. Roosevelt The latter made grave charges against the administration Of Commissary Geuoral Eagan, and he will be asked to substan- tiate them.
 After tho examination in New York the commission will return to Washing ton before going 10 Santiago. which 1t 8 thought will be among the last things done by the commission.

ELEPHANT CURIOSITY.
An Animal Which Stands With Its Feet
 Undecided In Rocks.

Imbedded In Rocks.
 On the Miles Wilbur farm, less than two miles from Palmyra, Wis., nearly midway between Bald bluff aud the Curelian spring, on Q wild, rocky hill side of>the Kettle range of bluffs, may be found huge rock known far and near as the ''stone elephant.
 It is annually visited by large num- bers of people, some of whom pronounce ib petrifed elephant of monster size, but the theory most generally believed is that it was hewed out of the solid rock in which 1t seemed imbedded cen turies ago by some prehistoric race.
 Asif to substantiate this latter theory. from time to time many valuable tools, relics and implements unknown to the people of this age have been found about It's base and in that immediate vicinity. It is about 90 feet long, 6 or feet high, of dark gray color and weighs hun dreds of tons. The body only is above the level of the ground, it's legs being deeply sunk below;$ holding it firmly in a standing position.
 4 tradition believed by many Is thas around this huge stone the Indians gathered to offer sacrifice to the Great Spirit and burn their prisoners at the stake or make them the victims of slow torture known only to the Indians. It b long established and generally be- lieved theory that in this immediate vii pinity and about Bald bluff and the big spring were soms 9f their most famous battleAelds end hunting grounds .-Bos- ton Transcript.

THE GRAND
 LEADER OPENING AND CONCERT ATTENDED BY A LARGE AUDIENCE
 LAST NIGHT.
A Magnificent Display of Dress and Millinery GoOd8-The Ital- ian Orchestra a
 Success.

To see the crowd of five hundred composed of the beauty and style of oul=city that was assembled at Che Grand Leader last evening to view the grand fall opening which IS ia progress at liat-eoa'aod.ous estab- lishment, would convince anyone of the enthusiastic interest that is taken in such displays.
 The scene was one that is seldom witnessed in city of this slze AS fast as the people dispersed the va cancies would be readily filled by the many anxious" who were wait ing on the sidewalk. An Italian or. chestra entertained the interested spectators and it was near midnight before the Grand Leaders doors were closed for the night
 TIE DISPLAYS
 On entering the store ones eyes are attracted by displays in seven booths, which were arranged and decorated by Mr. Geo Kaufman, wbo has again proven himself an artist in the decorating art In these booths are displays of hand some corsets, musIins, ladies hosiery and neckware and beautiful displays of antique faces and embroideries
 Ones attention ia again readily attracted by al elegant display of ladies wraps which extends to the eeiling in an immense pyramid.
 In crossing the building one is ln- terested in the gorgeous displays of silks, venetian cloths, eoYerts cloths, tucked effects cloth, broad cloth, chenille and silk broeades, serges, muslin de soire for evening wear, and polka dot silks, in all the latest shades of cadet aud royal blue, army gray and blue and Am arican beauty red. The wraps prevail in military effects.
 Advancing to the rear of this fairy land" you see comforts, lin ems, notions, wool blankets and everything imaginable in these lines.
 At last one comes to the "centar of attraction which is under the management of the efficient and artistic milliuer, Miss Cater, late of New York City. The millinery de- partment is the apple of each visi- tors eye" and does much credit to the ladies in charge. The hats are beauties, the likes of which have never before been seen in this city. b Among the many is the amethyst shirred velvet lcarrlage hat, with flowers and foliage trimmings. The imposing tipped hat of black velvet with black polka dotted white plumes pompon oI hauonal olue ribbon and foliage, and many other beautiful hats which we have not the space to describe.
 On making an exit from the build ing one again notices the able talent ot Mr. George Kaufman as win dow dres ser. Three prettier windows arc hard to find. Laces and trimmings In one; ladies and misses eapes in another, while the center window contains beautiful display of hats.
 Any newspaper article ateempt ing to describe the beauty of the SG,ene must be inadequate. The
