New York, Dec. 24.-Edgar Stanton
SDlaclay, whose connection with the
Schley case led President Roosevelt to
request his resignation as special la
'borer in the navy, made formal de-

naval procedure. He averred that his
case came under the civil service law
and that he could not be dismissed
without formal charges, trial and con-
viction. The request for his resigne-
tion was sent to him by Rear Admiral
Barker, commander OF the navy yard
at Brooklyn; and he replied at once by
letter, formally setting forth his POSI-

Many Of the greatest men have had
phenomenal memories. Caesar knew
the names of thousands Of soldiers in
his legiops. A modern man Of science
often has prodigious memory for
special terminology. Prof. Asa Gray
has said that he could at once recall
the names Of something like 25O00
plants; Prof. Theodore Gill can do the
same for fishes. Our memory for mere
words IL itself much more extensive
than ID generally admitted. The aver
age well-to-do child Of two years OF
age has vocabulary Of some 500 words
and it, father may have the command
OF 1000 more. The 10000 vsrses Of the
Rig vsda have, for 5000 years, been
accurately preserved in the memories
Of the Brahmins. Not one Brahmin
alone, but thousands can to-day recite
1t word for word. Thousands OF Mo
hammedans, likewise, know the Koran

ARGENTINE REPUBLIC
PREPARING FOR WAR

Buenos Ayres, Dec. 24.-General
Alitre. presiden. of the boundary COM
mission and former president Of Ar
gentina, will approve the resolution of
the Argentine government to with
draw Senor Portela. the Chilian min
lister to Argentina.
The people are fiocking to the pub
lie rifle ranges. Each citizen Is al
lowed to shoot thirty-five cartridges
from a Mauser rifle, gratis. Foreign
legions" of soldiers are being organ
.Aed.
4 The Buenos Ayres Herald expresses
its approval Of the recall of the Argen-
tine minister to Chilli. The paper does
not believe this step necessarily
means war. 1t says, however, that
1 the Argentine government could not
follow more dignified course OF ac-
ton. The Herald speaks glowingly of
(,he power and present state Of organ
ization Of the Argentine navy. T,
Senior Concha Subercaseaux, the
Chilean minister here, had confer
ence Saturday with General Roca,
president OF Argentine.
General Roca's demeanor to the
Chilean minister was cold and he
spoke with energy. The conference
became little violent in character
General Roca severely criticised the
proceedings Of the Gillian admins
tration. H
The international situation with
Chilli remains unchanged.
The Argentine government has re-
solved firmly to maintain Its rights
until such time as Chill makes full
explanation of her attitude In the
matter.
1t is calculated here that $1,000 men
will answer the first call for soldiers.
These men are ready to undertake
any duty. There is, furthermore, re
serve of 10000 young men to the fore
going $4,000.
Throughout the entire republic to-
Z day men are praeticing at rife shoot
ing.
The energetic stand Of the govern
pent is enthusiastically supported by
ts4blic opinion.

OLDEST CHAPEL IN AMERICA.

The lovers OF the antique and pictur-
esque architecture OF former centuries
In the City of Mexico are pleased at
the announcement that an ancient
landmark. the little chapel of La Con-
cepcion is not TO be destroyed 1t has
been variously claimed for this chapel
that 1t marked the spot where Cuauh-
temoc surrendered to Cortes. also that
it was the first Catholic temple in
which mass was said in the City OF
Mexico. A recent Investigation; Of
these points among the best authori-
ties on ancient history OF the capital
did not establish them positively, but
the little chapel Is without doubt one
of the earliest places of Christian wor-
ship built in the city by the Spaniards
and probably in the whole of North
America. S
The chapel Of La Conception now
stands in the rather neglected little
plaza Of the same name, which is the

The litigation just closed by the yer-

come before an Iowa court. The suit

cause there are no gold mines In the

pany Ia Incorporated under the laws

the attention of the equity branch Of

NEW ORLEANS BEATS BOSTON.
Takes Second Place as Port for En-
port of Goods.

New York. June l0.-A special from
Washington to the Tribune says that Il
study Of the figures of the bureau Of
statistics, giving the exports through
the various ports Of the United States
in the fiscal year 1900, shows that in
that year and the months which have
followed New Orleans has taken second
rank as an exporting port, and has dis
placed Boston In its position as the
second importing city of the county,
The heavy expectations Of cotton and
the high price at which 1t Is exported
have largely Increased the value Of the
exports through the southern ports
while 1t Is not improbable that the Gal
weston disaster may have resulted in
temporarily dlvertlng TO New Orleans
some of the business which otherwise
would have gone through Galveston.
The exports from New orleans IN the
fiscal year 1900 were $ll5S5S,7 64, The
highest figures in the history Of the port
except 1892, and an increase of $2S,O00,-
600 over the fiscal year 1899. In the nine
months of the fiscal year 1901 the ex-
ports from New Orleans were $l22, 2S4,-
$50, securing for that city a clear and
undisputed title TO the rank of second
in the list of American export cities.
