BRITISH REMOUNT SCANDALS.
Mr.. BrOderick Says They VIII BE
PrObed by the Government.

PrObcd by the Government.
LONDON, Aug. 4.-The remount scan
dals were aired again in the House Of
Commons to-day in the course of a dis
cussion of the army estimates and the
item of transportation and remounts.
Sir Charles Dixie advanced RadicaD sug-
gested the publication of the evidence
bearing on the remount scandals obtained
from the United States and Argentina. Col.
John p. Nolan CNationalisD condemned the
loose system of contracts, under which
such dreadful scandals were possible, while
several other members of the House depre-
Gated the method of purchasing horses
through middle men.
Mr.. Broderick, the war secretary, reply
ing, said the members overlooked the diff
culties in the way of providing one hun
dred anu fifty thousand horses in an
emergency. He said the government in
tended TO probe the charges, but he be-
lieved some remOunt officers had been
harshly judged. He did not believe that
Lord Kitchener would join in the universal
cry against the remount department.
In answer to the war secretary, John
Dillon (NationalisD asserted that Mr..
Broderick's vague speech only strengthened
his suspicious and he pointed out as an
instance of this that the government had
not denied that Major Studdert had profited
largely through buying horses in Ireland
under a false name
Mr.. Broderick denied that he had no dis
position to push the Studdert and other in
vestigations, and said the government
would go to the fullest extremes to convict
the perpetrators of conspiracy and fraud.
The vote on the item of transportation and
remount was agreed to.
The House of Commons sat until o'clock
this (Tuesday) morning, passing estimates
amounting to millions of pounds by the
now familiar end of the session ''guillOtine
process, but without the scenes which
usually accompany wholesale closuring.
Owing TO protracted debates on the govern
ment's education bill, it is probable that
the House will be compelled to sit until
next Monday Tuesday, instead of ad-
journing at the end of this week

Nearly Captured Grant at Belmont

CHICAGO. Aug. 4-Commodore Joseph
E. Montgomery. the aged Confederate
naval officer who nearly captured General
Grant during the civil war. died here to-
day at the home of his son, DR.. James

Commodore Montgomery was born in
Carrollton, KY, in 1917, and from his youth
until the war broke out was engaged in
river traffic. He was in active charge at
the battle with Commodore Foote at Fort
Pillow and again at Memphis, when the
Confederates were defeated by the Federal
fleet. Although at the head of the fleet
at the time of the battle with Farragut at
New Orleans, he was with another squad
ron farther north and did not participate
in the engagement. When war was de-
clared he offered his services to Jefferson
Davis. He was assigned to the staff of
Gen. Leonidas Polk and placed in charge
of a company of scouts. At the battle OF
Belmont he attempted the capture OF
horse was secured by Montgomery, who
later returned IL to its owner. Shortly
after this he was commissioned by Jeffer-
son Davis to construct fleet on the Mis-
sissippi, when the Federal vessels were
menacing river towns. He transformed
some merchant vessels into warshps and
placed IN cndTSe OF the meet WIN the
rank of commodore. His first engagement
was at Fort Pillow, where his reputation
was made. as he brought off his fleet with
credit. Following the battle at New Or
leans came the attack by the combined
Federal fleet at Memphis. when he was
defeated and the Confederate river feet
destroyed. He then superintended the con-
struction of the gunboat Nashville and
took il to Mobile. He was in command at
the battle there, when seven boats of Ad-
miral Buchanan's feet were sunk on mines
which Montgomery had lain in Mobile bay.
In attempting to cross overland TO Texas
he was captured by Federal troops. out on
the conclusion of the war he was pardoned
by President Johnson. In 1890 he went 70

NO SWEET GRASS.

Old Town, Me-, Sept 1.-The men,
bers of the Abenaki Tribe of Indians
on Indian and Orson Islands are much
distressed this year over the failure
in the crop of the sweet-scented ver-
nal grass, upon which they rely for
material to complete their fancy bas-
kets.
This grass not only has the toughest
fibre available for baskets, but it will
hold its faint, sweet odor for years,
though it had been dipped in aniline
dyes and woven into baskets that have
gone around the world. To the Penob-
scot Indian it is of more importance
than wheat or timothy or corn. The
result of the cold weather early in the
season and late growth of grass which
was choked out by OF er plants later,
is that no baskets of sweet scented
vernal grass will be made this year,
and the Indians will lose the best part
of their basket trade. There are
| plenty of other grasses that are plia-
bic and will take fast colors, but moth.
ing in art or in nature has yet been
able to initiate the pefume emitted by
| this precious grass.
