1t was expected that the Windward
would reach st. Johns by the middle
Of September, but as she started lats
and had some trouble with her ma
chinery, some delay is to be looked for,
says the Philadelphia Times. Still the
report of her arrival Is anxiously
watched for, as she is expected to
bring news not only Of Peary. but also
OF Capt. Syerdrup and DR.. Stein. Lieut..
Peary Is supposed to have established
a depot at Cape Hecla, the most north
ern point of Grinnell Land. at about
50 degrees north latitude, and to have
made from there a dash for the pole.
At least this it was understood was his
intention. Word from him is conse-
quently awaited with some impatience.

Minimum Figures In the War Depart
ments Measure.
Washington, Dec. 1.-Reorganiza-
tion Of the army, with a minimum
strength of 1924 and maximum
force 96,766, is provided for in a bill
sent by Secretary Root to the house
committee on military affairs and
made public tonight. By the provis-
ons OF this measure it will rest with
The president how many of the 1882
men between the minimum and maxi
mum totals are to be in the service at
any time. In a letter to the committee
Secretary Root calls attention to the
fact that without further legislation
the volunteers now in service must be
discharged July l, 1901, and the regu-
lar army reduced from 65, 900 to 29, 025
men. Then he gives his reasons for
urging prompt action. without leav-
ing much, If any margin, for sickness,
such as the campaigns Of the last two
years warn us must be counted as an
important factor in any occupation by
the army, peaceful or warlike, OF
many VI the lSlduuS WHICH constitute
the Philippine group" he writes, the
strength thus fixed must prove utterly
inadequate, leaving out of considera-
ton the service in the United States,
in Porto Rico, and, for the time being,
in Cuba. The history Of our Indian
wars is replete with incidents show
ing the futility Of sending an made
quate force to bring into subsection
hostile natives such as those occupying
the Philippine islands. 1t is presumed
under these conditions, that congress
will provide a sufficient number Of
men to care for the coast defense for
tifcations, to provide garrisons for the
more or less permanent posts on the
Canadian and Mexican borders and
those scattered through the Indian
country, small garrisons in Porto Rico
and Cuba. and a sufficient force in the
Philippine islands to restore order and
establish peaceful and stable condi-
tons of government"

BANDITS ON A STREET CAR.
President Of Commission Firm
Robbed in Chicago.
START A GENERAL Fight.


Chicago, Dec. 3.-Highwaymen held
a daring manner. One man was robbed
on car, an old saiimakeT was beaten
into insensibility, and another man
lad desperate fight with thugs. Ed
ward J. Wright, president of the firm
of Wright & Mckenzie, commission
merchants at No 232 South Water
street, was held up on an Ogden ave-
nue. electric car last night and robbed
of a satchel containing Sll7 in cur
rency and checks valued at 5000. Mr..
Wright was on his way to his home,
No. 1921 Lawndale avenue, at the
time of the robbery, and the attack
upon him was made after the car had
crossed the Randolph street viaduct.
There were about twenty passengers
on the car. and when Mr.. Wright re.
sisted the attack of the robbers a gen
eral fight followed. The conductor OF
the car ran to his assistance and struck
one Of the robbers a severe blow in
the face. In return he was knocked
down and all three of the robbers, one
of them having secured possession of
the satcbel, jumped from the car and
ran south In an alley near Canal street
No report of the affair was made tC
the police until Mr.. Wright reached his
home. He then went to the I4awndale
police station and gave an account OF
the robbery,

DAVIS BODY LIES IN STATE
Escorted from the Home to Mime,
sofa Capitol.
AN IMPOSING PROCESSION.


St Paul, Mimi, Dec. IA steady
stream Of people passed through the
governors room in the capitol, where
lies in state the body of the late Unit
ed States Senator Cushraan Kellogg
Davis. At an early hour the military
and police escort marched to the fam
lily residence on Harrington avenue. A.
United States senator is entitled by
virtue of his Office to the escort of
major-general commanding, which in
this state would mean since the state
has no cavalry, a regiment of infantr
and a battalion Of artillery. Such an
escort could not be readily summoned
and did not meet with the approval Of
the senator's family, who desired that
the services be in every way as simple
as possible.
The military escort, therefore, con-
sisted Of Company D OF the First regi-
ment, Minnesota national guard, I'M
der Capt. M. l.. Merrill, most of whom
were veterans Of the Philippine cam
paign as members of the famous Thir-
teenth Minnesota volunteers, and de-
tachment Of battery A, Minnesota ma
tional guard, under Lieut.. Allen, who
acted as body-bearers. Leaving the
house at $3.50 o'clock the funeral pro-
cession, headed by mounted and foot
attachments Of police, marched slowly
to the capitol, which was reached by 10
o'clock
The coffin was carried between lines
OF mourning citizens into the building,
where 1t was placed on a catafalque
in the governors south chamber. The
main corridor of the building was
draped simply in Grape.
In the center of the chamber lay the
body, underneath a chandelier hung
with Grape and smilax. Broad bands
Of Grape stretched from the corners
and walls Of the room to the central
chandelier, and similar drapings were
hung over each of the broad doors.
The tall windows We're half-filled with
smilax and ferns, while ported plants
occupied the corners Of the room.
The catafalque was draped with the
national colors and the coffin was sur
rounded with floral tributes. At its
head, on an easel, rested a portrait of
the dead statesman; at its foot, the
sword he carried through the civil
war.
The escort formed in double at once
and the waiting crowd passed slowly
by the open coffin to take last look
at the man who had honored his state
while serving it. All classes Of society
were in line and there was no diminu-
ton in the size of the crowds as they
advanced. The military guard was
frequently relieved in the governors
room. as also was the police guard at
the outer doors.

Show sympathy with tho Boer,.

The Hague, Dec. 3.-During the
course OF the debate on the budget in
the second chamber to-day Herr Ker-
dyk, radical. reiterated his opinion
that the Netherlands ought to have de-
clined the honor of converting the
peace conference unless the Transyaal
was admitted. He highly approved of
the offer of the Dutch government to
intervene between he TranSyaal and
Great Britain before the war. and es-
pecially commended the offer to place
the Dutch cruiser Gelderland at Mr..
Kruger's disposal to convey him from
South Africa to Europe. This act. he
said, had been applauded by the whole
world. The remarks OF Herr Kerdyk
were greeted with loud cheers.

CHANGES NEW YORK CHARTER
Revision Commission Favors Single
Headed Police Hoard.


New York, Dec. 1.-The Greater
New York charter revision commits
sioners are busy preparing their final
findings and putting their report in
form. 1t is likely that the commission
report will be handed to Gov. Roose-
welt on Monday. He has intimated
that it will be made public on the day
he receives it.
The commissioners are said to have
decided in favor of a single-head
police board. the reduction of the
municipal legislature from two bodies
to one, the establishment Of a munich
pal printing plant and the giving OF
more power to the mayor in the mat
ter Of removing city officials. The find
ings of the commissioners are being
carefully guarded. The new charter
contains 100000 words and the report
accompanying it 1000. Most of the
members of the commission are in IA
vor Of Gov. Roosevelt's recommended
ton for a single head of the police
department and also for the educa.
tional department.
The important changes relating to
the financial department are those
suggested by Comptroller Coler, based
1pon his experience for the last three
years.

Mexico. The car was invented by Reau
Campbell. the Mexican traveller. and
came about as follows:
Some years ago when Mr.. Campbell
was travelling through the great Ta-
mosopo Canon. he had seat on the
side Of the car next TO the mountain.
the rocks OF the cliff were within two
feet Of the window, and OF course he
could get not even a glimpse OF the
canon. as all the windows on the other
side of the car were taken up by the
occupants of the adjoining seats. De-
termined to view the magnificence Of
the canon, Mr.. Campbell returned to
Las Canoas, and through the courtesy
of railway officials made the world
famous ride on board what the super
intendent called his trolley" an open
car with seats for eight persons. and

FARMERS FIELD is WIDER.
Export of Agricultural Products Steadily
Increasing.

Export of Agricultural Products Steadily
Increasing.
Washington, Dec. Secretary Will
son of the agricultural department
takes the ground that appropriations
for the department should be regarded
as an investment, for the reason that
they make direct returns therefor by
adding to the wealth Of the country.
He advances this theory in his annual
report, which was made public today.
Important extensions of the weather
bureau have been made during the
year. Much stress Is laid upon tho
continued Improvement of the fore
cast service and the value of it's warn
ings. The secretary points out that
Notwithstanding the great number OF
craft plying the Gulf Of Mexico at tina
time OF the Galveston storm the warn
ings were so timely that there was no
disaster upon the open waters. Sue
cessful experiments have been made
with wireless telegraphy.
During the quarantine season OF
1899 over 100000 cattle we're moved
"HSi Sho puPcA 'hsioh VI INC Duipao
from the district infected with the
southern cattle tick.
Experimental shipments OF dairy
products are still continued and ship
ments OF butter have been extended to
Cuba and Porto Rico The secretary
recommends an inspection Of dairy
products designed tor export.
National legislation on the subject
OF food authorizations Is urged as es-
sential to supplement the work done
by the several states Very little
horse meat seems to be sold IN the
United States.
Under the head Of foreign markets
the report says the rapid growth Of
American export trade to the Orient
in recent years is most striking. Five
years ago the total shipments of do
nestle merchandise to Asia and Gee
AMIGA were valued at S43, 100000 Of
which only 100000 were agricul-
tural. In 1900 the export trade with
the Orient amounted TO 100000, 900,
of which $50, 100000 worth was farm
produce.
During the last fiscal year Cuba,
Porto Rico. the Hawaiian Islands and
the Philippines furnished a market
for $4,000, 900 worth OF American do
nestle products. Five years ago These
islands took but $l3,OO0,OOO worth.

MARVELLOUS MECHANISM.
Auto m atoms That Have Excited the wo-
der of Many.

Aae" M atoms Ihat Have Excited the wou
der of Many.
Some years ago a jeweler OF Bou-
logne, France, constructed a wonder
ful automatic conjurer This agure.
correctly dressed in black. performed
various sleight OF hand tricks with re-
markable dexterity. and when 1t was
applauded gracefully saluted the spec
tators to the right and left. One OF its
tricks was the following: 1t struck a
table several times, and made an egg
come out OF it. 1t then blew upon the
latter, when out of it came a bird that
tapped its wings and sang. and after
ward entered the egg again. This.
however, was nothing as compared
with the automatic fly manufactured
by John Miller, and which flew around
the table during a dinner and alighted
upon the hand Of its owner and man
ufacturer, to the great establishment
OF the guests. Another wonderful piece
or mechanism was a minute coach. to
which were harnessed several horses.
and which rolled over the table. Upon
starting the coachman cracked his
whip and the horses began to prance,
and then became quiet and started or
on trot. The coach stopped and the
lackey jumped from the seat, and.
opening the door, handed out a hand
somely dressed lady, who saluted and
then re-entered the coach. The lackey
closed the door and jumped up the
box, the whip snapped and the horses
galloped off. The famous mechanical
flute player was lifelong figure,
standing by the side of broken col
umn, upon which it slightly leaned.
II was capable of playing dozen Diff
ferent airs with remarkab1 ease. To
effect this result, there was a system
of weights which actuated a bellows
placed In the interior Of the automaton
and through an invisible tube forced
air to the flute, where it acted In the
usual way upon the stopplr Of the
opening. In order to obtain tie modu-
lations and consequently a complies
air, the fingers of the automaton were
movable and closed the holes OF the
flute Theoretically when at rest. Tho
fingers were moved by wires and cords
that were tautened and relaxed by the
play of toothed cylinder.
