HE WILL TOUR RUSSIA
SENATOR ALBERT j. BEvERIDGE
WILL SOON SAIL FOR EUROPE.
His Object Is TO study the CONNER
ciaI Conditions in that Country
May Go to Siberia.

United States Senate Albert ]. Bev-
eridge will sail to-day from New York for
a lengthy trip through Europe, where he
will study important political and CONNER
ciai questions. He contemplates making a
most careful and thorough study of affairs
in Russia and in preparation for this work
he will make brief stops at London. Paris
and Berlin.
The senator has been impressed for some
time with the Importance of the political
situation in Russia, with reference TO the
expansion Of trade from this country in
that territory, and before determining upon
making the trip he conferred with leading
business men of Indiana and elsewhere
about it. He was given great encourage
ment in the matter and hopes to gain IT,
formation that will be of value to the
American people, and to enable this coun-
try TO keep front rank in dealing with the
questions in the Orient.
After a somewhat lengthy stay at st.
Petersburg, Senator Beveridge will in all
probability go on a journey through ST.
IBERIA, travelling the famous railway built

be closer commercial relations between
that country and the United States. 1t is
expected that he will be gone until Octo-

THE RESULT OF A A K
Editor of the Century Magazine Mis-
led by a False story of Heroism.

A sensational fake story printed in an
indianapolis morning paper last Monday
and sent to various papers in the country
has had the effect of rousing the sympa-
thies of kind-hearted people in different
parts of the country. This case is another
Illustration of the evils of sensational jour
ralism. The story referred to is that Of
the two colored men who were caught in
a boiler. In some way the steam was
turned on and only one of the men was
able TO escape in time to save his life.
AS the reporter imagined it, the other
colored mar said to the one who escaped:
You go first, Jim, you are married." The
story was taken as genuine in New York.
a letter was received yesterday by an In
~dianapolis man from the managing editor
of the New York Times, who wrote: w
published the inclosed press dispatch con-
corning the heroic death of the negro Will
liam Phelps. 1t drew a letter and a check
for s. from Mr.. j. b.. Glider, editor of the
Century Magazine. Will you kindly let me
know If a fund is being raised for the pur-
pose Of erecting a monument for the man?
II not, kindly let me know the name of his
next of kin in order that we may indorse
the check to that party and forward it 10
him or her"
The man who received the letter, knowing
the true details of the tragic incident, at
once replied TO the letter from New York,
giving the editor of the Times the facts in
the case.

DEDICATION OF MONUMENT.
The Ceremony May Occur During the
Latter Part of July.

The approach of May 30, the date fixed by
Sculptor Rudolph Schwartz, when the SOL
diers' and sailors monument will be COM
pleted and ready for dedication. has revived
talk and speculation as to the probable date
and nature of the ceremonies incident to
the dedication of the noble shaft. The con-
sensus of opinion seems to be that the cere-
monies should be held during the week of
July 21-2S. on account of the presence in the
city at that time of the entire Indiana Ma
tional Guard, which would lend the appro-
pirate military air to the proceedings. Dam
lei H. McAbee, state factory inspector, a
veteran of the civil war. has made several
interesting and valuable suggestions re-
garding the monument dedication. Mr.. Nc
Abee thinks the regimental battle flags now
stored in the State Museum ought to be
brought out on the day Of the parade and
carried, each by as many survivors of the
regiment ii belonged to as can be mus
tered. Then he thinks the flags should be
arranged becomingly about the imposing
shaft while the dedicatory ceremonies are
in progress. The statute requiring these
flags to be carefully preserved in the State
Museum prohibits their public display ex-
cept on the occasion OF the dedication of
the monument.
1t has been suggested that the programme
Of the dedication would commence with a
reading by Maj. G.. v. Menzies of a history
of the inception and completion of the mon
ument, to be prepared by Gen. Fred Knef-
Ter, president of the board of regents, this
to be followed by a formal transfer of the
monument to the State, acceptance to be
made by Governor Durbin. The belief and
hope has been expressed that President Nc
Kinley will be able to attend and deliver
the principal address of the occasion. Other
speeches might be made by representatives
of the various military and patriotic So
cieties of the State.
Mr.. McAbee has urged Governor Durbin
TO ask the next Legislature to appropriate
sufficient money to pay for building cases in
which the battle flags mentioned may be
displayed in the museum with their folds
spread out instead of being rolled up, as at
present. He also suggested that it would
be an excellent idea TO endeavor to obtain
possession of the few regimental flags that
remain in the possession of civil war regi-
mental organizations in various parts of
the State and have these similarly dis
played in the museum. There are now
about $50 Of the flags In the museum.
