Germany's Ship Canal.

The new canal connecting the Baltic
with the Atlantic had better year in

than in the previous IL months. The
number of vessels last year was 25,-

gain of 2,70S ships and 64S,045 tons
over the previous year. The dues ag-
gregated $37S,000, or % per cent.
more than the year before. The total
receipts were $9SS,000 against $491,-

the canal is useful even if it does not

TO ABUSE QUESTS
AT NEW TEARS

The idea was elaborated recently
into a party, in which every day OF
the year was represented. In the first
place, officers were elected. New
Years was chosen as president; then
the first months of each quarter
January, April, July and October
served as vice presidents, and the
twelve months as the executive COM
mittee. Easter day served as secre-
tary and Christmas as treasurer. The
president called a meeting of the
twelve months Each month called to
her aid four helpers, the weeks. Each
week found seven helpers, and these
were the days. The extra days above
twenty-eight in each month were
looked after by that month, and as a
rule they were chosen to represent
the various holidays of the year Each
day agreed to pay one dollar or ten or
twenty, just as the officials decided.
Consequently it was decided to pro-
vide each day with day box" in
which she gathered the contributions
of her friends. These boxes we're
opened on the Day of jubilee"
special honors being conferred upon
the day who brought in the largest
amount of money.
Arrangement of Tables.
The Day of Jubilee took the form
of festival, and all worked indie
fatigably to secure the sale of their
965 days, which, of course, insured
one seat at one of the month tables for
the buyer. The room was decorated
with the national colors, with festoons
and Fittings, caught up with gilded
and silvered emblems, representing
the zodiac signs, and with stars cres-
cents and sunbursts. In the center
of the room was a round table, at
which the four quarters sat, cos
TUNED to represent the four seasons.
Old Year and New Year and Easter,
Independence day, Thanksgiving and
Christmas were there also. An outer
circle, made up of twelve tables, set
at proper angles to form the radii of
the circle, the special head of each
month presiding in proper costume for
the season represented At each of
the twelve tables sat the four weeks
and the remaining days of the month
The tables were decorated to carry out
the idea described for a calendar din
ner party.

Violet Randolph was standing in her
pretty sleeping room, where the green
vine leaves shaded the window, a pict-

1t was some cheap, pretty costume that
Mr. Randolph had bought But all
her condescension vanished in a mist

SUPPLIES FOR ALASKA.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The
War Department is making
extensive preparations for the
establishment for the Depart
ment of Alaska. Gen. Randall
will be in command and five
companies of troops have been
ordered on Alaskan service.
Some of the troops left last
week for Port Valdez and it is
expected that the remainder,
together with Gen. Randall and
his headquarters will start be-
fore the middle of June.
For months past the different
branches of the army have
been arranging for the open
ing Of the new department.
Ordinary supplies like food
and clothing are furnished on
the basis of two year use. At
St. Michael, Valdez and Cape
Nome, buildings are to be con-
structed of lumber already cut
and shipped from the States.
About sixty buildings are to be
erected.
A feature of the barracks
will be that the inside walls
and ceilings are to be covered
with an asbestos fireproof
board one-eighth of an inch
thick. The material alone for
this work is estimated at $14O,-
600, and it is said by the War
Department officials that the
total cost will be about $25O,OCO.
It has also been decided to
ship coal to the posts to be
used for fuel instead of wood.
The clothing supplies include
such items as 10000 cotton and
5000 woollen socks, 5000
woollen suits OF underwear,
1900 Southwestern hats, the
same number of oilskin coats,
trousers, moccasins, sweaters
and pillow cases, 1000 German
socks, five wolf robes, ten
sheepskin robes and fifteen
hundred Arctic overshoes. To
get all these supplies to Alaska
it has been necessary to pro-
vide complete transportation
line consisting of six regular
steamers.

A STATESMAN'S TOLL,

The Hon. David Bennett
Hill now enjoys the long lost
felicity of being allowed to
have a hand in Democratic
politics once more. But Dem
ocratic politics are very differ
ent from what they were when
he was in his political prime,
and new generation that
knows not David is in control
of the Democratic national
organization. The new gen
Grafton is putty-headed in the
matter of party management
and cannot but stir the scorn
of the expert of Wolfert's
Roost, but it is in the majority
and neither kicking nor subtle
ty will avail against it. Vast
is the difference between clever
old stagers like Mr.. Hill and
Mr.. German and the impass-
toned greenhorns who are clos
est to Col. Bryan's bosom, but
the imprisoned greenhorns
rule and the cleverness of the
clever old stagers is distrusted.
In this new world of Demo-
cratic Populists and Populist
Democrats, amid these squads
of cranks and spouters and
bungling and unmanageable
amateur managers, Mr.. Hill is
moving about agilely enough,
harmonizing and persuading
and hoping for better days.
But what can he do? What
boots a cool head in Bedlam?
Here is Mr.. Hill, writing a
platform for the New York
Democratic State Convention
of June 5. A barren job, for
the real New York Democratic
platform will be announced at
Kansas City on or about July
4. Although Mr.. Hill, in the
fruitless hope of reconciling
the present Democratic, party
with Eastern conservatism, be
silent as to the Chicago plat
form and the main Dem
ocratic tenets, the Kansas City
platform will thunder tremen-
dously about them. If he
RACES in true Bryan.c manner
against Trusts and imperial
ism, what can he expect that
the greatest commercial State
will find to object to in com
mercial combination wherein
it has vast stake and in the
means of commercial expan-
sion?
To be sure, there is the scare
crow, dressed by his own hand,
of decentralization" AS a
heart-mover and voter-collector

TURKEYS GOOD INTENTIONS.

WASHINGTON, April 3O.-The
State Department does not con-
slider that the time has expired
within which it's demand for
the prompt payment of the
Armenian indemnity should
be complied with. That Tur-
keys answer will be delivered
within reasonable time is
not doubted by the officials, but
no confidence is felt that it will
be satisfactory. Since the de-
livery of the last note Turkey
has been pressing this govern
ment to agree to an arrange
ment by which the demands
may be satisfied under cover
of a payment to an American
ship building concern for the
construction of warship for
the Turkish navy. 1t is not
known to Turkey that the
United States will not agree to
any such arrangement, and
officials therefore expect that
the Turish answer will propose
some new form of indirect sat
isfaction of the American
claim.
AS the government appears
to be determined to accept no
settlement of a roundabout
character, the move it will
make after the receipt of the
Turkish response is likely to
be of an interesting character.
That the government means
business there can be no doubt,
but it's most radical action will
not, it is believed, extend
further than the severance of
diplomatic relations with the
Porte. Certainly, that is the
only course under considera-
ton as first step. Whether
there will be any second step
will depend on circumstances.
The President and his official
advisers are apparently OPP
posed to going further than
that, although they have been
urged to adopt the extreme
course of sending a fleet to
Turkish waters to back up a
demand for the money in
volved. Curiously enough,
nearly all the advice to send a
fleet has come from ministers
Of the Gospel who are inter
ested in missionary work in
Armenia. Some of them want
the fleet to lombard Smyrna,
and others propose the seizure
of the custom house there and
it's retention until the amount
of the indemnity has been col
lection. Suggestions that an
American fleet be sent to Con-
stantinople are laughed at by
the officials.
I From what is said by promi-
nent officers Of the government
the conclusion is reached that
no compromise will be salts
factory, but it is fair to state
that there is an undercurrent
of feeling that the concessions
which Turkey has made in
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-05-09

permitting the reconstruction
of the destroyed American col
lege at Harpoot and in practi-

demnity through indirect
means, should have due con-
sideration in connection with
any steps suggested for bring
ing Turkey to terms.
