WISCONSIN ORDERED OUT.
New Battleship About to Be Sent to
Panama

( Washington, Aug 9.-An order has
been sent to Captain George G. Reitel
of the battleship Wisconsin, now at
Anacortes, near the Puget Sound naval
station, to proceed to SanFrancisco, from
which point the battleship will be dis
patched to Panama.
The selection of a. battleship for this
prospective duty apparently gives a
gravity to the situation which in re-
atty it does not possess Unfortunately
most of the smaller ships are in Asiatic
waters and the department was obliged
to choose between unservicable old
wooden ships and the fine new battle
ships on the Pacific station.
The Wisconsin is one of the finest
ships of the new navy,and if she should
be sent this will be practically her first
active duty, as she has been in COM
mission only a short time. She has a
displacement of i, 500 tons, is heavily
armored and has a main battery of
four Is inch breech loading rifles and
fourteen inch rapid fire guns, which
with her second battery, makes her one
of the most formidable ships afioat. Her
complement is about 500 officers and
men, including about rs marines.

F. p. Hickey, the retiring foreman,
will leave next week for Portsmouth,
Va, where he becomes general shop
loren an for the Seaboard Air Line.
Mr. Hickey, too, rose from a machinist
at the bench to the positions which he
has since held. In 1880 he began a four
years apprenticeship in the shops of
the Pennsylvania railroad at Altoona,
Pa In 1884 he began work for the Nor
folk & Western at Roanoke. Va, and
in 1886 was made assistant foreman of
the erecting shop. A year afterWard he
went to the Erie, having charge of the
construction of new cars, with head
quarters at Buffalo. This work called
him to New York city; to the Hinkley
ers and Grant plants, Paterson, N. J.,
and to the Schenectady, n. Y, works.
In 1889 he returned to the Norfolk &
Western, assuming the direction of the
air brake department of the system
Later he was appointed assistant fore

finally foreman of the erecting shop.
In 1897 he took charge of the South
Carolina a. Georgia shops at Charles
ton, S. c., retaining control until the
fall of 1899 At that time he resigned
to assume the division master mechan-
icship of the Norfolk & Western. This
he resigned for a similar position on
the Atlantic Coast Line, his jurisdic-

MAINTAIN GRAIN RATES.
Kansas City Lines Will Try to Get
Together at Chicago.

Executives of Kansas City lines will
hold a conference in Chicago early next
week to endeavor to reach an effective
agreement for the restoration and
N aintenance of rates on grain and
-four The last agreement of the same
roads provided for the restoration of
these rates August 5, but the machin~
cry slipped a cog, and if the rates were
restored their maintenance was not for
sufficient length of time to effect q
shipment
Padded contracts for the movement
Of grain and flour will control the
movement for the next two months I'M
less radical action is taken by the ex-
ecutives and these contracts Cancelled
This is hardly to be expected, because
the grain trade is so closely allied to
the railroad interests that it must be
given protection, and the representa-
ton that stuff mas been sold to move on
a low rate under contract will prob
ably prevent the contract being can
celed.
1t may be that something can be
done at the meeting of executives to
improve the situation, but the main
tenance Of grain and -four rates is not
to be looked for, although all things
are possible If the pool ever gets to
working right.

New York Aug. 9.-Commenting
upon the order just issued announcing
three weeks public mourning in Great
Britain for the dowager en- press of
Germany, the London correspondent
of the Tribune says: The phraseology
Of the order differs somewhat from
what was enjoiEed upon the British
public on the occasion Of the death
Of Queen Victoria The people were
then expected to put themselves into
the deepest mourning, and when the
prince consort died the phrase issued
was decent" mourning The order,
which is signed by the Duke of Nor
folk, who as earl marshal is the au-
thority to regulate such matters, mere
" uses the word mourning" without
any qualification whatever.

The history of forgery records many

but the most daring and skillful of them all
stands to the credit or rather discredit of

When Jim was arrested at Memphis
Tenn, on charge of forgery he was able
to produce so many striking testimonials
to his character from the principal men in
the United States that the judge consider
ably reduced the severity of his sentence
He had been in prison only a few weeks
when the governor of the gaol received an
official notification that an influential petit

an excellent character, and had been a
dupe and not willing or conscious agent

an order was received from the governor
commanding his release.
