DOnOhue's Infermenf,
The transport Crook has brought home
the remains of Private George Donohue, of
Company H. First District of Columbia
Volunteers. who died Of fever at Guanica.
Porto Rico, on August 10 last Captain
LOCKER, his commanding officer, Is very
desirous OF having as large a turnout of
his old command as possible to show honor
to the memory of the dead who suffered
long and finally gave up his life for the
honor of the flag. But for the disastrous
hurricane. which destroyed the field hos
pital at Guanica, Donohue might have pull
ed through with the other sick men, but
as he was the weakest Of all at that time,
the shock of transportation In the steam
launch of the Puritan to the emergency
hospital across the bay was doubtless the
immediate cause Of his death.
He was buried with full military honors
at Guanica, under grove Of superb palm
trees, just outside the little Spanish ceme-
terry. and headboard placed at his grave,
and all possible precautions taken to iden-
tify the remains. These precautions are
now shown to have been effective. Beside
Donohue were buried two American SOL
diers whose identity had been utterly lest.
They were probably recruits of Capt Ed
gar Huberts command, the latter dying
himself Of malignant fever a few days
after the landing at Guanica. Owing to the
lack of time to make arrangements II is
suggested that Company Fl meet as Lear
as possible to the grave at Arlington,
where the remains are to be buried, when
the general interment of the Crooks dead
is made.

PIPE TRUST PROSECUTION.
Argument Before the United states
Supreme Court.


The United States Supreme Court heard
argument yesterday in the most impor-
tant prosecution ever brought under the
Sherman antitrust law. The case In
question is that OF the Addison Pipe and
Steel Company. more commonly known as
the Cast-Iron Trust. The Government re-
lies on this case to test the p-ohibitive
features of the Sherman law
The popularity of the case is that no
interstate commerce feature appears in it.
II merely restrains trade in the various
States. The Trans Missouri Freight As
sociation case involved question of in
terstate commerce. The Knight case, in
volving the trust. failed on account of
premature beginning. but the Government
believes that this case will test the whole
law.
Solicitor General Richards has charge
of the Governments side. while Joseph W.
Warrington, of Cincinnati. leads the array
OF attorneys for the trust. The Pipe Trust
is composed of five companes-at Fits
burg, Birmingham, Admission, Ala, Louis
vile and Cincinnati.
In his argument Solicitor General
Richards contended that the combination
operates in the unreasonable, unconscion-
able, and the ubiquitous restraint of trade
defrauding the public where the law pro-
vides for open competition He also at
tempted to show that it worked re-
straint OF trade among the several States
in violation of the right of Congress 10
regulate interstate commerce.
The solicitor general showed that the
territory Of the United States was divided
by the trust into pay" territory and
free territory, there being thirty-six
States in the pay" territory, in which a
bonus was charged upon all sales, the re-
mainder being free to competition. There
was also an understanding that certain
cities should be reserved to each OF the
companies, in which there should be no
competition. All these circumstances indi-
Gated. he argued. that there was an un-
mistakable trust and that it was clearly
in violation Of the Federal statutes.

DEATH OF PROF. COUES.
Friend and Co-worker of Madame
Blavatsky.

Baltimore, Dec. 27-Prof. Elliott
Coues, of Washington, D. c., the world
famed ornithologist and scientist, died
Christmas night, at Johns Hopkins hos
pital.
Prof Coues was one of the most dis
tinguished scientists in the United
States. Born in Portsmouth, n. H, in
1872 he graduated at the Columbian
university in Washington, in 1861. He
entered the United States army as a
medical cadet in 1852 and left it as
surgeon many years later. He became
a naturalist of high repute and was
an expert in geology, anatomy and
many other sciences. He was connected
with the Smithsonian institute, the
United States geological and geographic
cal surveys and was professor of BIZ
OlOgy in the Virginia Agricultural and
Medical college. He was one of the
associate editors of the Century Die
tiOnary and other publications, an
OrnithOlOgist of world wide reputation
and published many works on that sub
ject. His versatility as an author was
very great and his works included
member of at least fifty foreign and
American scientific societies.
For some years he was an enthusiast
tic theosOphist, a friend and coajutOr
of Madame Blavatsky. After a while he
lost his interest in theosOphy but he
never ceased to reach out for theories
and dOgmas beyond the average un-

The Massachusetts men declare that
they have not revOlted or seeded. They
assert that it is the national body that

The Massachusetts men declared that

properly left the order. creating a new
thing which the Massachusetts men de-
cline to recognize, and of which they
refuse to be a part
The cause of this dissatisfaction is
the recent general change in the conSti-
tuition and bylaws of the union, made
at the last national encampment held
at Des Moines, Iowa. At that encamp-
ment radical and sweeping amendments
were made. The name of the Organiza-
ton was changed to THE Union Vet

mander in chief has been made a sort
of deSpOt, and has many privileges
given him which the Massachusetts
men are unwilling to grant.

PIGEONS FOR ARMY.
Necessity For System of Rapid Trans
mission of Messages Urged.

Washington, Dec. PA carrier pig
con service will be adopted for the
army. A report on this subject has
been made by officers to Secretary
Root.
THE necessity of rapid and reliable
transmission of information Is recog-
nized everywhere says the report.
Among the various means and make
shifts used from time immemorial, at
present military powers have adopted
and practiced these five distinct sys-
TENS:
'Couriers, visual and acoustic signals,
the electric telegraph and telephone,
phone, balloons and carrier pigeons.
In recent years experiments have
been made by one or two European
powers with trained dogs as dispatch
bearers or as guards against surprise
from the enemy. Our army has neither
trained dogs nor a pigeon signal ser
vice. The Custer massacre suggests
ideas of what might be needed or pos
sible under such exigencies.
THE navy has been successful with
its pigeons and excellent practical re-
suits were reported during the naval re-
view in the spring of 1898 No one can
tell how soon the army may need them,
and when we do we will need them
badly. The Spanish war has taught us
that we should be prepared beforehand

Attorney General GODDARD has receiv-
ed the following letter from ex-Attor-
ney General F. B. Dawes, with refer
ence to the statements made by Don
aid McPhaiI that Klondike is not
closed:
Mr.. McPhan either ignorantly or in
tentionaIly misrepresents the facts in
regard to the KlOndike. If there is a SOL
itary saloon open in Klondike neither
Mr.. FenIon, the county attorney, nor
myself is aware of that fact. We have
been watching the Klondike places.
with instructions to report the fact to
US, if any of them open UP.
Mr.. McPhal has never said a word
to the county attorney, Mr.. Fenlon nor
myself in regard to the matter. If he
knows of any place in Klondike where
a saloon is being run, we would be only
too thankful for him to come and give
US the information.
He knows that those prosecutions
are in good faith; that the object for
which the prosecutions were brought
has been accomplished, or nearly so.
There may be some secret selling of Ii
QuOr in that place, and if Mr.. McPhai1
knows of any. it is his duty as a citi-
zen to report it to the parties interested
in the prosecution instead of rushing
into print for the purpose Of throwing
mud at Governor Stanley, yourself and
the state administration.

WashingtOn-It cost the country ST.
374,O11-96 to run the United States SEN
ate for the year ending last July. This
included, of course, the salaries of the
senators. the salaries of the clerks,
messengers, private secretaries, cap1tol
police on the senate side. mileage and
other expenses, including the cOntln-
gent fund. Secretary Cox, of the SEN
ate has just made his annual report,
showing how this money was expended
Some interesting items appear. Each
senator is allowed a certain amount
for stationery and newspapers. If he
desires he may draw this allowance in
cash. The secretary'S report shows
that there has been a great falling off
in reading among the senators, for
large number preferred to take the cash.
Ex-senator Cannon of Utah stands first
in this respect He took SS4.25 in cash
from his allowance. Senator HOar
comes next, having received $7O.32 in
cash.
1t costs $4,000 to report the senate
proceedings and over $4,000 went for
the purchase of furniture, while $4,000
more was paid to repair it, and over
$1,000 to clean it. It cost $1,000 to keep
the senate horses and wagons, and $1O,-
39L90 for newspapers and stationery
During the year the vice presidents
room was refitted in the most hand

over $3.50, while the hall clock cost
$500. The lace curtains cost $500, and
the antique desk 1925. The sofas and

inkstand, which cost $1,000. and the
deSkpad on which it stands cost 81
During the blizzard of last February
it cost S25 to clean the snow off the
senate roof and over 5000 for carriages
to send the senators home during the
storm
Fuel cost S14.93547, and ice averaged
about 1925 per month. The senators
seemed very fond of lemons, for during
one week in June s176 was paid for thir
ty-tWO boxes of this fruit. Another
item of interest is $137.64 for Psi pounds
of sugar, while 116 cases of lithia water
cost S725.2S. It is explained that during
the hot months the senators drink lem
Onade instead of water. The report
contains page after page of items of
kilograms sent by senators. The dis
patches sent by Senator Quay occupy
nearly four pages, and strange as it
may seem, nearly all of them went to
Altoona. and We're sent one day,

be very fond of drugs, for thousands of
Quinine pills were bought at various
times. Soda mint tablets. brOmO-seltZer,
cough drops, one drachm of altar of
roses and one quart of castor oil, are
also noted. Formerly there was big
item for snuff, and snuff box was kept
in the senate for the use of the older
senators. This year snuff seems to have
been little used, for only one purchase
