A Unique Picnic.

There Is to take place in Miller coun-
ty. Ner., this month what Is described
with pardonable excess of superlatiyes
as most unique picnic" In 1855 4
man named Wilson died, and was bur-
led in a cave with a demijchn of whisky
in his coffin. 1t was his dying request
that at the end of seven years his cof-
fin should be opened. the demijohn be
brought out, and at the mouth OF the
cave where he lay buried his friends
should gather and enjoy SO much dane
ing. feasting. drinking, and laughing
that his spirit would join in the revelry.
The end Of the seven years came Just
In the middle of the civil war. and the
demijchn and cave and Wilson's last
request were forgotten. Since the end
of the war Miller county people have
been planning to hold picnic at which
the demijohn should be opened. but the
idea has never been carried out Now
a grandson OF Wilson's living at Brum-
ley, Miller county. has taken the matter
up and proposes to hold e picnic, to
which all the people of Miller county
are invited.-New York Tribune.

YOUNG MIlITIAMAN
PLACED UNDER ARREST
John Wise Charged With Retaining Ma
tionai Guard Property at
His Home.

John Wise, sixteen years old, was
locked uu at the House OF Detention i-st
night on a charge of violating the mill
tia law. 1t is said that Wise has been
seeking a discharge from the District
National Guard fer several months, and
attending drills or other assemblies OF
his company.
He is a member OF Company B. Fifth
Battalion, of which Capt. Wayne Smith
Is the commanding officer. While he has
been waiting for his discharge he mas.
1t is claimed, been retaining several
parts OF his uniform and equipment
Captain Smith ordered the man to bring
these to the armory, and turn them in
to the quartermagter. but this Wise, it
is said, refused to do.
Captain Smith yesterday swore out
warrant for the arrest of the young
man. When locked up last evening Wise
said he was ignorant of the fact that
1t was a violation Of the law to retain
the Government articles at his residence
when callod upon by his commanding Of
fcer to return them. He stated that he
was willing to return the articles, and
told Captain Smith where he might find
them at his home. Captain Smith said
last night that he did not care to presc-
cute the young man il the articles were
returned to him, but that he had been
unable to get them. and that as the Gov
ernmect holds him responsible for ev-
cry piece of Government goods turned
over to the company, ne was not willing
to let Wise keep them.

TENTATIVE DISCUSSION
OF WEST POINT PLANS
Matter of Expending Congressional Ap-
preparation Discussed With
Mr. Root.

Secretary Root had a conference yes
terday with Colonel Mills, superinten-
dent OF the West Point Military Acade-
my, in regard TO the proposed improve
ments at the school.
An appropriation CT s5,-0O.OOO for the
enlargement Of the Academy buildings
and for other improvements, including
an increased water supply, was made by
Congress at the session just ended. OF
which only s2.C00,0C0 is to be expended
this year.
At the conference yesterday. the sub
tect of the improvements needed was
discussed but nothing definite was de-
term;ned upon.
1t is probable that the decision as TO
the selection of an architect will be
made only after a competitive test.
Congress authorized tho Secretary of
War to employ an architect at com
pensation not exceeding $1,000 a year,
and 1t is likely that there will be con-
competition for this work.

Centenary of Trousers.

Most people win be surprised to hear
that trousers, as at present worn by the
male portion of humanity. have just cell
ebrated their centenary. but. according
TO Fashion" such is undoubtedly the
case They came in" cn account of
the high living prevalent a hundred
years ago. This produced a great deal
OF gout. whose tw:nEes the tigh.- fitting
costume In use at that period made un-
bearabIe. Hence the invention OF the
wider form OF garment, which soon be-
came popular, and was adopted by many
royal personages at home and abroad
Among the "dandies" of the period how
ever, the new style was regarded with
contempt, and when Almack's was at It's
height as n fashionable resort the great
Duke CT Wellington himself was once re-
fused admission because he presented
himself In trousers instead of the (for
that time) orthodox neither garments.
So far has their sway now extended that
they threaten to supplant even the Scot
tish kilt.

SEA DUTY FOR
NAVAL OFFICERS
TROOPS OF CAVALRY
GONE 10 GETTYSBURG
Rosslyn Now Breathes Freely That the
Soldiers Who Took Part in Trouble
Have Left.

Troops G and II of the Second Cav
airy, stationed at Fort Myer, left for
Gettysburg. Pa. on special train yes
terday morning 1t Is announced
that they go to participate in some sum-
mer maneuvers there which are being
carried on by the Pennsylvania National
Guard
The removal of the troops from the
post was thought advisable after the re-
cent clash between the troops and some
of the citizens OF the town of ftosslyn,
at Gea-y's saloon. The raid on Geary's
saloon which followed the shooting of
Private Pancoast was looked upon as en-
event of such Importance by the citizens
of Rosslyn that the town is only just
beginning to recover from It's excite
ment. The town is now no longer under
martial law, the last sentry having been
removed yesterday. The withdrawal
of the sentry and the transfer of Troops
G and H to another station causes d
sense of relief among the villagers.
Private Pancoast is announced as con-
valescing from the three body wounds
which he received. although he has not
yet been pronounced fit for duty.

proprietor announces that 1t will not be

results from the claim he is pressing
against the Government. He expects TO
be fully reimbursed for his losses at the
hands of the soldiers, and intends to 90
into business again when he receives his
money.
The men who were arrested in connec-
tion with the shooting of Private Pan
coast have been released from Jail on

America Makes England's Flags.

A curious feature of the American
commercial invasion of Great Britain IS
this: That large portion, If not the
majority. of the flags with which that
country is decorating itself. in honor
of the close of the South African war
and of the coming coronation of King
Edward. are manufactured in the United
States. This applies not only to the
cheap printed flags Of all sizes, but TO
the finer ones made of bunting as we'll.
The Pioneer Press" is in receipt OF
samples CT the product of one house, in
Cincinnati, which has for several yearD
past been shipping such flags to Eng
land by the carload, at shorter and
shorter intervals. Following the plan so
successfully adopted in other lines. 1t
has so equipped itself with special ma
that no English house can COM
pete with II except by putting in an
equally expensive plant-and even then.
where are the workmon? 1t tickles the
American to see Johnny Bull waving his
flags as he sings Rule
Britannia,''- Paul Pioneer Press.

WARSHIP TO BE BUILT
At BROOKLYN YARD
Secretary Moody Announces
His Decision.
Vessel That Congress Directed Should
Be Built by the Government
in Its Own Yard.

Secretary Moody yesterday selected
the Brooklyn navy yard as the place in
which the one battleship provided for
by Congress to be built in a Government
navy yard is to be constructed.
Arguments were presented to Secre-
tary Moody in favor Of number of Gov
ernment yards, but none seemed as well
prepared for the work as the Brooklyn.
The Boston yard Is well equipped, but
work could not be commenced before
only about eight months Will intervene.
Disadvantages at Norfolk
Norfolk presented many advantages.
and for a time the Secretary looked IA
vorably upon 1t. Later 1t developed that
the labor market in that section was so
limited that the building of a 5000 ton
battleship at Norfolk would certainly
demoralize the supply of builders.
Since the Government has boats build
ing at Newport News. and also at Rich
mond the tendency would be to draw
men from the private yards and delay
the construction of the boats therein, "A
loss to the Government on the whole.
The objection to other yards was
still more potent. and Brooklyn was fin
ally designated as the yard which pre-
sented the fewest obstacles. No esti-
mate of the time required has yet been
made. but the naval officers freely pre-
dict that both cost and time consumed
will greatly exceed those for similar
at private yards.

TO CURTAIL NAVY
IN THE PHILIPPINES
Plans to Reduce Sea Force
Being Discussed.
In Line With the Policy of the Govern
mcnt Following Civil Gov
ernment.

In line with President Roosevelt's pol
icy of extending civil government
through ali the islands Of the Philip
pine Archipelago. except those occupied
by the Moro tribes. the Navy Depart
ment will shortly reduce the naval force
in the Philippines to a peace basis.
Nearly all the little gunboats captured
or purchased from Spain will be placed
out of commission, and some OF the
cruisers will be ordered back TO the
United States. Secretary Moody has un-
der consideration plan for curtailing
the Asiatic feet, but so far he has not
decided definitely on anything except the
withdrawal of the small gunboats from
active service, and the recall of some OF
the larger ships.
In line with the policy of President
Mckinley and former Secretary Long. a
strong squadron will be maintained per-
mancntly in the Far East. principally
to let the world know that the United
States Government has come there to
stay, and regards itself as a factor in
that part of the universe. All the armor-
clads will be retained on the Asiatio
station, and the battleship Oregon will
soon be sent to augment them. The
plan which Secretary Moody has under
consideration contemplates the detach-
ment of enc and perhaps two Of the
three flag officers now on the station.
The tour of sea duty Of Rear Admiral
Rodgers, commander-in-chief Of the
Asiatic naval force, will end in the fall.
but 1t is not unlikely that he will be
recalled before them. The chances are
that Rear Admiral Evans. the senior
squadron commander, will be retained
as comma nder- in-chief. The Asiatic fleet
will probably be divided into two squad
rons, one for the Philippines and the
other for Chinese and Japanese waters.
Should only Admiral Rodgers be de-
tachcd, Rear Admiral Evans would COM
mand one of these squadrors, while ex-
ercising the duties OF coinmander-in-
chief. and Rear Admiral Wildes. the
present Junior commander, the other.

OIL AS FUEL FOR NAVY.
Secretary Moody Holding Back Work
on Pacific Coaling Stations.

vi TdCiuC SUdllng stations.
The Navy Department has on hand
more than 81 100000 for the construction
OF naval coaling stations on the Pacific
Coast and plans for Ave such stations
have been made by the Bureau OF Con-
struction and Repair. Secretary Moody,
however. has stopped action on the
plans to await results of experiments
the navy is now making in the use of
oil as fuel
The Secretary believes that these ex-
periments will show that OIL is a
cheaper. cleaner, and better fuel for the
navy than coal. Commercial expert
ments on the Pacific and on the Western
railroads have so proven the practical
bility of using oil for fuel that several
Of the Western railroads have begun
to substitute 1t for coal on their en-
gines.
Hence Secretary Moody will not allow
large sums to be expended on coaling
stations until the experiments with oil
have been completed. II they provo sue
cessful. oil tank stations will come into
use instead of coaling stations.

CAMP AT
FORT RILEY, KANSAS
Regulars and'Militia to Have
ManeuVerS.
Plans of the War Department Being
Considered-Instruction
the Aim.

In addition to the joint maneuvers By
the army and navy early next Septem-
ber. off Long Island. 1t is proposed 70
arrange a series of maneuvers between
the regular troops and militia to be held
some time In the fall at Fort Riley.
Kansas. Plans for the mobilization of
a large force Of cavalry and infantry at
Fort Riley for this purpose are now be-
ing considered by the officials of the
War Department. 1t has not been def
nitely determined when the practice
camp will be opened, but It is hoped to
arrange 1t SO that 1t will follow closely
upon the joint maneuvers on the At
lantic coast. 1t was the intention of
the War Department to provide for the
land maneuvers at Fort Riley at an ear
lier date. but the failure of Congress 20
pass the militia bill delayed the con-
sideration of the plans until the pres
ent time.
For Instruction Purposes.
It is hoped to concentrate at Fort
Riley for the purpose Of camp in
struction and field movements a force
of not less than twenty thousand men,
to be composed largely OF the militia
OF the Western States. The militia
troops will be under the direct control
of regular army officers, and will be
given instruction in all the principles of
warfare.
More Camps Hoped For.
In the course of time it Is hoped that
hese camps of instruction can be opened
at several points In the United States.
A board of officers has already selected
the sites for these camps, but Con-
yress has not yet made the necessary
provision for the purchase of groundfat
he points recommended. Until this is
lone the War Department can only
utilize the reservations now under It's
'ontrol. and that there shall be no long
,elay In the beginning OF this work it
S the intention of the Secretary of War
o Immediately consider plans for
amp at Fort Riley.
1t has been definitely determined that
he Joint mancuvers between the army
md navy shall take place from August
10 TO September 6. Owing to this deci-
'ion it will not be possible for Secretary |
Root to be present. He has engaged |
'assage from New York for Europe 20 |
all August ?, and will return about the |
9th of September. 1t is very likely |
hat President Roosevelt will attend the |
however. and will probably |
witness the engagements from the May |
iower.
