It was probably not intended by the
war department to. get up a long distance
race between warships when, taking the
advice of Admiral Dewey, five ships We're
ordered to the Philippines, yet a globe
circling race has been the result.
The ships which have been sent to
strengthen the squadron under Rear Ad-
miral Watson are the Brooklyn, Newark,
New Orleans, Marietta and Nashville.
The Newark was sent from a nFraneis-
co across the Pacific. The rest left At
lantic ports and have gone by way of the
Suez canal.
While OF course there was no vital ne
cessity for hurry, as there was when the
Oregon made her famous race around
Cape Horn to participate in the chase Of
Cervera's feet, still a naval commander
when he is ordered to q port where trou-
bic may be expected likes to get there on
time. In case other warships are ordered
to the same point at about the same time,
as in the present instance, each captain
takes a certain pride in beating his broth
er officers by arriving first.
The officials of the navy department,
while not admitting that a race was on,
have taken a lively interest in the prog
ress Of the warships, and it is probable
that by this time congratulations have
been cablcd to the winner.ACaptain Bow
man II. McGalla of the Newark did not
start on exactly. equal terms with the
other captains. In sailing from San
Francisco he had much the shorter
course, but some of the other vessels
were given an earlier start.
There are other things to be taken into
consideration II such a race as this too.

A thrilling experience IN the earth
quake which disturbed Alaska In the
early part Of last September is told by
DR.. L. A. Cox of Sitza, who, with two
others, a Captain Smith and s. Cox, was
encamped in Disenchantment bay. The
camp was on a glacier moraine about
1000 feet from tide wafer and probably
Is feet above sea level. It was about one
and three-fourth miles southeast of Hub
bard glacier and five miles northwest Of
what is known as Third glacier. The
country back of the camE was low and
fat for a distance Of one and a half
miles. with the exception of a hill 200
feet high just before reaching the high
mountains which surrounded the mo4aine.
In writing Of what occurred for the Stka
Alaskan. DIR. Cox says:
.DThe first indication Of earthquake was
felt on Sunday, Sept. 3, and continued
with varying severity until Sunday, Sept.

nois monumcnts consist of two principal
memorials and 90 granite blocks to mark
the various Fpots where the representa-
tiyes of the Illinois regiments made the
most notable record. Other positions are
then to be designated by granite markers.
One of the principal memorials, known
as the Missionary Ridge monument, is a
shaft of white Barre granite rising to a
height of 80 feet. 1t will stand on the
crest Of Missionary ridge and be sur
mounted by a bronze figure Of Peace"
while at the base will be bronzes repre-
senting the four arms Of the seryice-in-
fantry, cavalry, artillery and navy. The
cost OF this monumen was about $40, 900.
The other principal memorial, the Or
chard Knob monument, is built in the
form Of a crypt, the entrance to which is
reached by a flight of five steps. From
this rises a graceful shaft surmounted by
a bronze private soldier carrying a flag.
The cost Of this monument was $4,000.
The exact site of the Missionary Ridge
monument Is near the steel observation
tower, rs feet high, which marks General
Bragg's headquarters. The Orchard
Knob site was the headquarters of Cen
erals Grant and Thomas, Nov. 25, 1868.
