NO BACKWARD STEP.
Significant Speech of Senator Davis of
Minnesota.

St Paul, Mimi, July 2S--With great
ceremony in the presence of an i'm
mense concourse of people, Alexander
Ramsey, territorial governor, only sur
vivor of the famous union war COVER
nors, ex-secretary of war and ex-Uni-
ted States senator laid the corner stone
of Minnesota's capitol building in this
city.
The two million dollar building was
designed by Chas. Gilbert, a st. Paul
architect, and is being constructed of
granite from St. Cloud with Georgia
marble for superstructure and trim
innings. Archbishop Ireland prayed. The
principal grafton was delivered by Uni
ted States Senator CuShman K. Davis,
chairman of the senate committee on
foreign relations and the benedictiOn
was pronounced by the venerable B1Sh-
op Whipple, of the Episcopal church
The speech of Senator Davis was de-
voted largely to discussion OF the for
eign affairs of the government. He
spoke hopefully of the better relations
between the United States and Great
Britain but the situation in the far east
he described as being pregnant with
wars and he declared that the recent
aggressiOns by the powers Of Europe
on China were acts of war.
Next to China he said, 1.-The Pacific
possessions of the United States are the
most inviting objects of attack. Under
existing conditions their defense would
be difficult. Had Spain triumphed at
States her navy could have seized Hon
oIulu and have operated from there up
on the entire coast of the United States
from Mexico to the Yukon. An over
pOwering European force in the Asiatic
waters could do the same thing; so
could Japan"
Senator Davis declared the situation
to be one of alternatives and said the
United States must become an efficient
element in the Asiatic situation or must
entirely abstain from any participation
in it, resting content to return to it's
own shores, to cover the smallest posi-
bic share of it's commercial advantages,
and to prepare for its own defense
against the same aggressions which
have reduced China to her present con-
ditiOn.
The senator believed, however, that
the United States should take no back
ward course He favored the main
tanning of the present excellent condi-
ton of the United States navy and the
making of liberal appropriations for it's
increase and the immediate cOnstruc-
ton of the Nicaragua canal he deemed
to be of the utmost Importance Recent
events, he said, had demonstrated this.

Little One Rolls From Buggy and

Spring Valley, Wis, July ga shock
ing occurrence is reported from Plum City,

party of berrypickers were securing the

of the number, a mother. nursed her
babe and placed it in a buggy to sleep.
When she returned from the berry patch
an hour or so afterward, she was horri-

devoured by animals. The child's bloody
clothing and some gnawed and half-eaten
bones were all that remained. It is sup

latter are very pletiful in the woods in

MINES CONTINUE IDLE.
All Efforts of Operators to Start Them

Pana, Ill, July 28-The mines of the

deputy sheriffs and special police. Eight
miners went to work in the Springside

There is no coal being hOisted at the
mine, however, and the general impress
sion is that the men are only making
repairs and propping up rooms, prepar-

and acres of crops were destroyed or
greatly damaged by a hail storm in Cod

PARK BEING PLATED
Old Race Track to be Used as
a Driveway,
ALL APPROVE OF IT
School Children to Plant Trees
There on Arbor Day.

City Engineer Jackson yesterday went
cut to the new park and took survey Of
the land lie will soon make some blue
prints OF the grounds CLEANED from sug-
ges.ion made by Mayor Ross which has
been receiving the laudations and COM
mendations of the members Of the coun-
CT and the board of park commissioners.
The idea is good one and will receive the
hearty approval Of the people.
In Riverside park there is an old race
track which was erected at considera Bile
expense. This track under the proposed
plan will be made into driveway for We
nicles and wheelmen. In the center of the
enclosure will be another circle with a
walk between ten and fifteen feet wide.
The second enclosure will be about forty
feet in diameter where at some future
period a fountain or monument of some
kind will undoubtedly be placed. Lead
ing 70 this inner circle will be four walks,
one each from north, south, east and west,
These walks will extend out to the drive
way, but will only be accessible TO pedes-
TRANS. They will be about twenty feet
wide and in the center Of them will be
flower beds at certain prescribed dis
tances. These four segments divided by
the four walks will be sown with blue
grass, making handsome lawns. On the
laws children will be allowed to play and
romp.
On the outside Of the driveway trees will
be planted, which in few years will cast
plenty of shade during the hot and sultry
summer months. All of these trees will
be taken from out the forest which lines
the Little River on the south side of the
park. Just on the outer side of the walks
and inside of the driveway evergreens will
be planted This will not obstruct the
view of the lawns from the drive yet will
make beautiful walks. each of which will
be nearly an eighth of a mile in length.
in order that there may be no expense at
tached to the city. Mayor Ross has evolv-
ed an original and unique scheme. Let a
certain portion of the ground be allotted
to each school in the city. Then let each
grade plant one tree. It will not cost any
individual scholar more than one cent.
and the city will be benefited. Besides
every scholar will have an individual
pride in seeing that the trees thus planted
lives and thrives- The city would have
the post holes dug and al the children
would have to do would be to bring them
to the park. Mayor Ross thinks that it
would be good idea for all of the stores
to close on that day from until in the
afternoon. in order that all might attend.
1t would be gala day. There are several
other details to be arranged, but they will
be attended to in a short time. Then
Wichita will have one of the finest parks
in the state,
