toric Shovels Are Used.
St. Louis, Dec o1.-The governors
Of four Louisiana purchase states
Minnesota, Nebraska, Arkansas and
Missouri-several members of congress
and Worlds fair national commission
ers, and other invited guests, among
them General John c.. Bates, COM
handing the department. of the Mis-
souri,, and Colonel John d. G. Oglesby.
representing Governor Yates, of Illi-
nois, were present and participated in
the ceremonies attending the breaking
OF ground yesterday on the site of the
Worlds fair in Forest park. The eX-
ercises at the site, where the thermOm-
eter registered around zero, consisted
of prayer and speaking and the break
ing of ground on the site of the educa-
ton building.
Three historic shovels were used in
the ground breaking. The first was
one of iron and oak, relic of early
American workmanship. An exact re-
production of that shovel, manufac-
ture of the Louisiana purchase, made
Of ebony and steel and silver-plated,
was next put into use, and then an old
wooden shovel, thought to have been
used in 171S to work in the st. Gene

HILL EXPLAINS MATTERS
What Was Done, According to His Idea,
About the Great Northern.


About the Great Northern.
st. Paul, Mimi, Dec. 23.-James j.
ELL, president of the Great Northern
railroad and of the Northern Securities
company, has given out statement
explaining the causes leading up to
and the objects of the railway merger
that has stirred the entire country. In
stead of combining the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern roads and
thereby breaking the law against an
alliance of parallel lines, Hill declares
the Northern Securities was organized
to prevent just such an eventuality
with this difference-it prevented the
absorption of the Northern Pacific and
the Chicago. Burlington and Quincy by
the Union Pacific railway.
Hill assures the public that the
Great Northern and Northern Pacific
railroads will continue to be operated
separately and as rival lines. He also
gives the history of the gigantic squirt
in Northern Pacific stock which electri-
fed the speculative world last spring.
when Northern Pacific shares rose by
leaps to $1,000 each. He gives the adj
ditiOnal information that $4,000 share
was offered and refused. The great
advance, Hill announces, was due to
the attempts made by the Union Pa
cific to get absolute control of the
Northern Pacific road.

eral years there has been an unfortun-
ate and bitter controversy in the navy
department. controversy generally
deplored even by the participants, as
tending to bring the service into dis
esteem at home and abroad, and to de-
stroy those relations of mutual con-
fdence and friendship between naval
otfiaers which the interests of effective
service require. In this controversy
the army has not been involved. and
no bar had been raised to that good
feeling and friendly relation between
all the officers of the navy and all the
officers of the army which is essential
to the successful and harmonious CO.
operation Of the two services in prep
aratiOn and in action.
"A court of inquiry has been held OF
the matters in controversy, and a re-
port had been made in which one men,
Der of the court had dissented in some

lieutenant general of the army, saw fit

Eour Kinds of Pupils.

The Talmud says there are four kinds
of pupils-the sponge and the funnel,
the strainer and the sieve. The sponge
is he who taketh up everything. and
the funnel is he who taketh in at this
ear and letteth out at that; the strainer
is he that letteth go the wine and re-
taineth the dross, and the sieve is he
that letteth go the bran and retaineth
the fine flour. The student who be-
gins at least TO wish to belong to the
last named class will not have been
sent to college in vain.

NAVY END OF THE TROUBLE

Long Approves the Courts Verdict, S.iubs
Dewey and Fires Maclay.
To make complete the work of get
ting the record of the Schley case
closed in the navy department Secre-
tary Long began by indOrsing the find
ings of the court of inquiry with his;
approval. at the same time disapprov-
ing Dewey's exceptions to those find
ings, and also his opinion as to the
command ON July, 3, 1898, at Santiago.
On this subject Long says: GAS to
the further expression of his views by
the same member [Dewey] with re-
gard to the questions of command on
the morning of July 3, 1898, and of
the title to credit for the ensuing vic
tory, the conduct of the court in MAX
ing no finding and rendering no opin-
ion ON those questions is approved
indeed, it could with prOpriety take no
other course, evidence ON these Ques-
tons, during the inquiry, having been
excluded by the court
Then he wrote letter to Admiral
Dewey dissolving the court, and next,
in letter to Simpsons attorneys, i'll
formed them that the department hav-
luS dppIONSu Tie COuIL , I0COluultuUd-
ton that no further proceedings be
had, the department will take no ac
ton ON their brief in behalf of Samp-
son. A letter to Schley informs him
officially of the departments action
and incloses copies of the necessary
official documents in the matter.
The very last paper to be published
Saturday was the following, addressed
to Rear Admiral A. S. Barker, COM
clmandant, Navy Yard, New York:

Of inquiry filed by Schley's attorney.
incidentally the man who is called the
cause of it all was asked for his resig-
nation-Maclay. Probably General
Miles was given one Of the sharpest
reprimands ever received 10y United
States General officer.
How the Lieutenant General Offended.
The first letter Of the series is one
from Secretary Root to General Miles,
in which the latter is asked to explain
an interview published as with him
at Cincinnati Dec G. The pith of the
words quoted as coming from Miles is
as follows, referring to the Schley find
ings: Il think Dewey has summed up
the matter in a clesr and concise man
ner and I believe a1is conclusions will
be Endorsed by the patriotic people of
the United States. l have no sympathy
with til eefforts which have been made
with the efforts which have been made
to destroy the honor of an officer under
such circumstances"
Miles Explains His Remarks.
To the very brief note asking an
explanation of 1he foregoing General
Miles replied that his words had no
reference to the action, pending or 9th
erwise, of a coordinate branch of the
service; they were merely my person
al views based upon matters set forth
in various publications which had been
given to the world, and concerning
which conceive there was no impro-
priety in expressing an opinion the
same as any other citizen upon a mat
ter of such public interest"
Makes Further Explanation.
Later, but before the secretary's re-
ply had left the latter's office, Miles
made an additional statement in which
he says tina as he understands it, the
court of inquiry unanimously exoner-
ated him [Schley] from such epithets
as coward, poltroon, etcetera, and their
opinions were given to the public for
the information of all citizens. When
I said that I had no sympathy with
those who had endeavored to destroy
the reputation of a high officer 8 i
I had in mind and referred to those
assaults aaginst which the admiral had
appealed for protection and justifica-
ton, and certainly not to a coordinate
branch of the government"

IN FAR-OFF LABRADOR.
Fur Hunters In That Country Who
Have just Heard of the Death
ofQuecn Victoria.

Reports are reaching civilization of
the operations of the past winter in
the interior and upon the coast Of
Labrador. The season was, generally
speaking, a mild one. and the fatali-
ties among the Indians fewer than
usual, a good supply of furs was Sc
cured, but none of such peculiar value
as some of those taken during the
preceding winter, says the New York
Sun.
The highest price paid for single
skin of last winters catch was $500,
which was for black silver fox. the
king of all the bearing animals Of
Labrador. Exactly double that amount
was paid for a skin of the same va
riety very noble specimen, about a
year ago. Prices in general are
scarcely so good at present as they
were this time last year.
Marten skins. which have brought
as much as S25 a skin, sold this spring
for from SIS TO SIS. Traders are es-
pecially proud Of n, offers and
minks which they obtain from Lab

BETTER THAN A FENCE.
TrouhIesome Monkeys Kept at T. E;S-
lance by Daubing with Trc;-cic
aud Tartar Emetic.

In "A Snortswoman in India Miss
Savory writes enteTtainingly of the
monkeys in the foothills of the Him
alayas. For cool impotence and au-
dacity, she says, these hill monkeys
stand uuriyaled, they slip into tLe
bungalows at Dalhousie and carry oil
anything from the breakfast or tea
table, if the room is empty. They
spring from tree to tree, from house
to house--a mother, it may lie, with
two young ones clinging to her,
loaf of bread in one hand and n
bunch of bananas in her mouth,
which she had just "sneaked" from
dining-room.
"Of course, monkeys are very trou-
blesome in plantations. Few men
can shoot a monkey; they are too
human-like and pathetic when wound
ed. We met an FngliShman who was
trying TO protect his sugar cane patcn
with a great trench and a paliSude
covered with nails. All to no pur-
pose.
He walked down to it one morn
ing and found a row of monkeys
seated on the paIisade. The moment
he came within reach they threw his
own sugar cane into his face, after
which they got down and stroi!ed
away, leisurely munching.
'Such things were not to be borne.
Our friend chased flock into a tree,
felled the tree and caught four or
five young monkeys. The parents
waited near. in great CONSERVATION,
anXiously watching while their in
fants were painted from head to foot
with treacle and tartar emetic. On
being allowed to go they rushed off
into the fond and welcoming arms,
and were instantly carried mp into
the woods, and there assiduously
licked clean from top TO tee by their
atfectionate parents.
The natural effects followed, and
the pitiable condition Of the old mon
keys can scarcely be imagined. That
patch of sugar cane was never rifed
again"
