People Take Part In tho Ceremony.
The exercises OF defeating the 107
monuments and markers of the state Of
Illinois on the battle fields surrounding
Chattanooga, Tenn, were held Thurs
day at Orchard Knob, the site Of one Of
the principal memorial shafts and IA
nous during the civil war as the head
quarters of General Grant. 1t is esti-
mated that more than 1000 residents
of Illinois and at least 5000 Chatta-
nooga people attended the exercises.
Among the distinguished visitors were
Senator Cullom, Governor Tanner and
staff of Illinois, Commissioner of PEN
sions II. Clay Evans, Gen. Ii. v. Boyn-
ton, representing the secretary of war,
and q large delegation from the con-
fcderate camp Of this city. Major

speech presenting the monuments to
the governor of Illinois on behalf of
the Illinois commissioners.
Governor Tanner of Illinois received

1t Is reported that the United States
department OF agriculture is actively
engaged In originating an orange that
VIII bear n greater degree of frost than
any now grown. At first sight this
feat might appear difficult to ccom
plish. but when we remember that we
have apples that will not stand severe
climatic conditions, and that apples
nave been produced that will stand
such conditions. WI see that there is
hope. To illustrate: The best apples
OF the eastern states, such as the Bald
win, Will not grow at all in some
western states. II has taken years to
develop apples like the Wealthy tina,
Will stand. We might also mention the
Ben Davis, which grows abundantly all
over the west and resists all kinds OF
hard conditions. So the government
may succeed in Its undertaking.

Strike Is Ended.

The strike of the Union Pacific ma
chinists at Cheyenne has been ended
and the men will return 20 work.
They went out on November 6, on
which date they made a demand Cor an
increase Of wages from 3aj1 cents to 80
cents per hour. The time schedule
will be nine hours per day instead OF
eight hours as heretofore. The st;ik-
ing boilermakers, thirty in number,
have not yet decided to return to work,
but 1t is believed they will follow the
action of the machinists.

There Is now much contention in the
navy department over the large bills
for pilotage sent in by captains OF
nearly every warship in the service,
and the authorities frankly admit that
naval officers, great as is their skill In
battle and In the accurate use OF heavy
guns, know almost nothing of harbors,
charts or the art Of steering vessels In
the most open channels. This admis-
sion, perhaps, explains why the Ameri-
can navy, acknowledged invincible in
actual fight, manned by the finest
crews and %clcvcrest officers. has never
theless been a standing joke In time OF
peace and why so many American
ships have run aground or collided
with rocks and snags.

he has been considering the main

years. 1t is pointed out that girl
orphans have no such advantages as

badly needed institution that Mr..
Elkins has embraced.

BLACK MARIA WAS LATE,
Its Cargo of Prisoners This Morning
Numbered Forty-Six.

On account of the condition of the streets
this morning the Black Maria" was a lit
tie late in reaching the Police Court with
the prisoners. There were forty-six Of
them IN all, and there was not one in the
whole crowd who refused one of Police

Long before the arrival of the van the

and friends of the victims. The heavy
downfall of snow did not affect the curious
ones who are in the habit of standing in
the street and waiting to see the unfortu-

telegraph pole might fall on them did not
frighten them away.

at the condition Of affairs, and when he
called, "Oh, Mary, don't you weep" the
female made an EFFORT to hit him with a
SNOWFALL. "
AS the prisoners stepped from the Ma

big policeman, and FIVE minutes later the
cltnking of the coffee cups was heard. Just
after tie prisoners had disappeared from

actions Of the latter that the former was

ALLEGED SPANISH DEMAND.
Indemnity for Failure TO Obtain
Prisoners From FiIipinos.

A dispatch from Madrid stating that the
Spanish government acting through the
French charge d'affaires. is just recovering
pensation for the failure of this government
TO secure the release Of Spanish prisoners
is not borne out by anything received at
the State Department NJ. Thiebaut. the
French charge d'affaires. is Just recovering
from serious illness, and he has had no
recent dealings with the State Department
relative TO tha Spanish prisoners. Prior TO
his illness he submitted number OF requests
in behalf of the Spanish government. These
in the main asked for the release OF the
prisoners and pointed out the extreme cru
city, resulting in some cases in death with
which the Tagals treated the prisoners.
The responses of this government have been
that the statements OF cruelty were believed
to be exaggerated. as the reports from the
American officers did not show any such
condition of affairs. When the Madrid au-
thorlties pressed for early release OF their
people they We're informed that the Presl-
dent was giving the subject earnest consid-
GRAFTON. and that he had cabled to Gen. Otis
for information.
This is the status of the negotiation
up to the present time. and there has
been no suggestion that Madrid wanted
compensation for the failure to deliver the
Spanish prisoners.

AGUINALDO's AGENT.
Agoncfllo Regarded Either as Traitor
or Spy.

One Of the first steps of the administra-
ton upon hearing of the outbreak at Manila
was to give attention to the presence in
Washington of Agoncillo, the accredited
representative here of the Philippine in
surgents. They would not say whether any
steps had been taken looking to his eX-
pulsion from the United States or to his
arrest, but his status, it can be stated. has
already been the subject of careful study
The officials have been loath to disturb
him, first, because they did not care to
martyrize him unnecessarily. and, secondly.
because they did not care to expose them
selves TO the criticism that they were iu-
terfering improperly with the supply of in
formation and arguments respecting the
Philippine question while the treaty was
pending before the Senate. 1t said at
the State Department plainly that Agon-
clio was either a traitor or spy. If the
Philippines are regarded American ter
ritory. then he is the representative and
active agent of an insurrection against the
United States and as such is a traitor. IL
the Philippines are still in nominal Spanish
possession. then. a state of war still
technically exists, ne can be regarded only
as a SDy.
