CHAT OF THE CORRIDORS.

The Isthmian Canal Commission has
made such progress with its work that it
is stated that it will be able to submit a
report to Congress sufficiently comprehen-
sive to serve as Il basis for the action of
that body at the approaching session if
it should be desirable to act. The field
parties have all reported, and only a few
of the photographic parties and several
boring parties remain ON the isthmus clear
ing up the work. Most Of what remains
to be done in the way of surveys relates
to the character of the under strata near
the sites for the dams. The Commissions
report will be preliminary, and the great
mass of data collected viii be embodied
in supplemental and detailed report, to
be submitted later.

The United Confederate Veterans of
this city and Richmond are considering
the expediency of removing the rebel dead
buried in Arlington and at the Soldiers
Home Cemeteries to Hollywood Gene
terry, Richmond. There are about 800 Of
these, of which 12S are at the Soldiers
Home and 1876 at Arlington. The graves
are wellsodded and neatly kept. At the
last session of Congress an appropriation
was made to collect all these into one
place in Arlington, and erect there a
marker, which, it was decided, should be
an iron vase, filed with flowers in sea
son. 1t is suggested that this aDpropria-
ton to be used, in connection with some
contributions from New Orleans, to re-
move the remains to Richmond There are
about 10000 known rebel graves north of
the Potomac.
Owing to the advance in the price of
silver, Director of the Mint Roberts has
increased the price to be paid by the Gov
ernment for silver purchased from 30 to
81 cents standard ounce. The Govern
nent at present purchases only such sill
yer as is contained in gold deposits from
the KlOnkike and other gold producing
sections. Under the existing statute all
silver in gold deposits is paid for at the
market price. The price has advanced
steadily since 1896, when it touched AZ
cents per standard ounce. The new price
went into effect last Monday.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn, of the
War Department, returned to Washing

A wellknown professor has made tho FORUM
ate discovery that what has heretofore been
known as impotency or failing manhood is due
TO paralysis OF the nerves. As 1t requires a
vigorous condition of the nerves to control the
muscles. the professor has found a wonderful
power that instantly awakens the nerves and
thus restores complete muscular strength. He
says:-The marvellous power exerted by recent
additions and Improvements to my electric belt

Il. w. Alexander, Commander-i in Chief
of the Sons of Veterans, elected ut the
Annual Encampment held at Syracuse, n.
Y, was mustered into Gen. G. c. Meade
Camp, Reading, Pa, in 1882. The fol
lowing year he was elected Commander of
the Pennsylvania Division. He has been a
member of the City Council also of the
School Board, and has been frequently
urged for the Mayoralty, but declined,
owing to business interests. Although a
comparatively young man, being but AZ
years of age, he is one of the substantial
business men of Reading. He takes Il
great deal of interest in the Sons of Vet
Grams, and in his speech accepting the
office he stated that his business was now
in such shape he would give practically
his entire attention during his term of of
fee to building up the Order.
He believes the Order has great fu-
ture, and that the National Memorial
Military College, about to be erected in
memory of the heroic deeds of those who
fought to save the Union in 1S61'65, will
bring the Order before the people more
than anything else than has been under
taken, and that as this is the first prac-
teal work inaugurated, from now on the
Order should grow and become a power
in the country.

AN OPEN LETTER.

Prof. p. H. Hawkins of Columbus
addresses an open letter to the republic
cans of Yellowstone county. and es-
pecially to those of Billings. in the col
umns of The Gazette today. He was
one of the straight Mckinley republi-
cans in '96, too, but in the last CAM
paign worked Loyalty with the organs
zation, as did the former silver republi.
cans, both standing on the St. Louis
platform, with the result that Column
bus made a better showing for the tick.
ct than any other precinct i'll the conn
ty. This gives the republicans of that
portion of the county a right to critioise
the waring factions in Billings. By
their works, the republicans of Colum-
bus have shown that they bury personal
grievances in a campaign and work for
party success because they believe in
the principles it advocates.
That is what the republicans of
Billings should do, That Is what they
will do, we believe, in the campaign OF
this year. The men in this town who
are ~endeavoring to prom ote discord in
stead Of harmony are even regarded
with suspicion by those who worked
with them in the last campaign. And
these few d~isgruntled individuals
we can assure the republicans
of Columbus, are not going
to be allowed to wreck the party in this
county this year. There is going to
be nc quarrel with them, either; It
they persist in their efforts to stir up
~,strife, they will simply be ignored and
sthere will be harmony and success IN
spite Of them. Professor Hawkins is
certainly right when he says the repub-
licaus of this county will support for
their leader the man "who buries per.
sOnal grievances, who refuses to quar-.
rel with his colleagues, who works
for the ticket and votes the ticket,
whether he be q gold or silver man,
originally" That is the spirit that
rnust dominate republicans in this
county this year; there are only one
kind of republicans now; the silver
question il settled and all good republic
cans will work together for the splendid
administration that President MoKin.
Icy has given the country and the CON-
tinuance of the present good times.

The defense in the Clark investiga.
tion at Washington is supposed to be-
gin today, and 1T is said the senator
will himself take the stand, but unless
he can prove where that $50, 900 came
from, he will never be able to convince
the public that he did not buy his seat.
The newest thing in the investigation
is that Geiger admits lie was bribed to
vote for house bill No. 1872 and, as he
belongs to the DAILY gang and they were
pulling" for that measure, that fac.
ton Of the democracy must bear the ig-
nominy Of tho testimony. This is in
line with what The Gazette has always
oontended- both the Clark and
DAILY factions are corrupt and have dis
graoed Montana. Out with them!

The news that General Butler has
again crossed the Tugela river and is
going to make another attempt to re-
lieve Ladysmith, is not confirmed. The
st, James Gazette characterizes as ''un-
warrantable boasting" this alleged in.
formation about what Butler is going
to do, aud evidently the English public
and newspapers are much discouraged
over the turn affairs have taken in the
Boer war. The British lion has sure
had a hard knot tied in his tail and his
of pain and anger are pitiful to
hear.
