The researches of Professor Milne OF
the cause of the breaking of telegra phiC
cables have revealed the fact that there
are parts of the oeean-bed, particularly
on steep slopes along the edges OF con.
tlnents. where great changes frequent
ly occur. The importance of properly
selecting the location of a cable is
shown by the fact, cited by Professor
Milne, that the military and naval re.
serves were called out in Australia In
1888, when the simultaneous Interrupt
tlon of two cables cut off eommunica'

AT AIRING TON.

In sacred place where long have slept the
nations glorious dead
Again is heard the funeral march, as sol
diers slowly tread.
Again with tear-dimmed eyes the throngs
of reyerent watchers see
The grave receive the dust OF those who
died to make men free.
The emblems Of the Nations love and
sorrow there are shown
As to their final resting place are borne
the brave unknown,
The flag at haf-mast droops in GRIEF Tor
those who are no more
And fitting requiem for the dead the
black-m0uthed cannon roar.
Twas not In fratricidal strife these sons
of freedom fell:
An, no: their grand self-sacrihce proud
history e'er shall tell.
They fought for strangers who had long
been crushed by tyranny
They died TO give to fellow men the boon
of liberty.
From every section of the land in loyalty
they came
To fight for honor of the flag, to win the
hero's fame;
And now they lie at rest with those VINO
10 their country gave
Their lives. and all that they held dear,
that eountry's life to save.
Safe now In beauteous Arlington THESE
later heroes sleep,
And Fame above their hallowed graves
shall ceaseless vigil keep.
The Mortimer and the Southmen there
are resting side by side, :,
A nations pledge that neyermore shaii
section lines divide.

Grafton Record: Tuesday morning
a fine soldieny-looking young man ar
rived in Grafton on the Great Northern
passenger train. This young man
was Private Hans Peterson of Co. c..
who has been laid up with rheumatism
for' many months in the Philippines,
being confined to the hospital a greater
part of the time since the 18th of last
September. He left Sergeant Left
Swennumson at Larimore, who had
been in the hospital three months be-
fore leaving for home. Lief took the
Park River train home from Larimore;
we understand he is feeling quite well.
Private Peterson went out four miles
to the firing line to bid his comrades
goodbye before leaving, and left them
in the trenches. They sailed from
Manila on the 9th day Of March, on
the Arizona, with 142 returning soldiers
on board, seven being from the First
North Dakota regiment. They re-
turned by way of Hong Kong, at which
place they stopped one week. San
Francisco was reached in twenty-four
days actual sailing, where the boys
received the best Of treatment and re-
manned three weeks. No lives were
lost on the trip over, but a terrible
storm was encountered, which lasted
forty-eight hours.

A Washington dispatch says: The

those who have remained with their

assisted in bringing the Philippine war
to a close. 1t is more than likely that
President Mckinley will recommend
to congress the striking of Il separate
medal for these volunteers. which will
differ from the medals of honor and
yet be a memento Of the Philippine
campaign and n recognition Of the gov
ernment's gratitude to those who have
upheld the flag and supported the gov.

What was considered In the light of Il
joke at the expense of the officials who
went down to investigate the report of the
discovery Of the body of a dead man west
Of the city, and found only a tramp APP
parently sleeping off the effects of a too
liberal Indulgence in spirits, became a stern
reality last night when the same Individual
was struck, probably by passenger train
No. 2, and fearfully mangled, meeting with
instant death at the west end Of the
bridge.
The crew Of a work train that went to
Mandan at an early hour this morning aftef
some empties were the first to see, the body
of the man lying on the bridge at the ex-
IRENE west end The remains were
mangled almost beyond recognition. Both
legs were cut of close to the. body, the in
testines were strewn about the track, the
body was decapdtated, and, the remains
were scattered along the rails for some dis
lance. The pack which. the man had car
fled on his back was found a few feet west
Of where the body lay, the mar having been
struck apparently by a train coming east.
Death; was instantaneous. probably. The
Identity Of the victim with the man who
was seen along the track in the afternoon
was pretty thoroughly established. DR..
Ballard and Officer McHugh recognized
the remains as those Of the same person,
from the general appearance of. the man, his
pack, and the partly crushed head.
When the man was reused from his sleep
by the officers yesterday afternoon, he
shouldered his pack and started in the d.
%rectlons of the bridge. A.. E. Preston, who
Is night: bridge Waterman, states that che
put of the bridge several times. a man
answering his appearance, and who was on
his way west. It is probable hat while
Preston was busy with some other duties,
the man slipped on the bridge n started
across. From the badly mangled condition
OF the remains, It seems possible that the
man lay down on the track, for trains COM
