Gen. Dodge'S History
Of the Monument

General Dodge began his address by
relating of the pride OF the general in
the Army of the Tennessee at Wash

how General Sherman remarked that it
was the proudest moment Of his life
when he marched up Pennsylvania Ave
nue. at the head of that victorious
army. The sculptor, Carl Rohl-Smith,
had endeavOred to present the general
as he appeared at that moment, and
had ably and satisfactorily accom-

memory Of those men who are 1T to

Russia Now Disclaims Senti-

PEACEFUL SOLUTION is EXPECTED
Foreign Office at St. Petersburg De-
elares Present Moment Is Not Re-
sarded As Critical, and Negotiations

st. Petersburg, Oct. f10.-The state
ment, published in the United States
by a news agency, that lan anti-Japan-
ese war sentiment prevails here, is
false. Russian society is absolutely
not given to "jingoism," the govern
ment remains peacefully disposed and
the foreign office disclaims the slight
est sentiment of hostility. The news
papers here publish extracts from the
Japanese press, indicating hostility TO
Russia, but the Russian editorials
i preserve studied calmness-
niplon ic circles are aware that
the situt ,n inspires some uneasiness.
+ but they believe that the government
anticipates a peaceful solution.
The Japanese minister here, NJ. Ku-
rino. says that he has seen no iindica-
tions of warlike disposition here. He
has always found Foreign Minister
Lamsdorff ready candidly toA discuss
|Russo-Japanese relations.
The Japanese minister saidl there
was no reason why the two govern
ments should not reach a peaceful
settlement He added that, although
Ihe was a careful reader of the Japan
& ese newspapers, he found no warlike
Tendencies in any of the influential
papers, and claimed that the Russian
papers cited comments fromsunimpor
tant japanese sheets.
While the foregoing rejects the
sentiments Of st. Petersburg, it is moi
denied that there may be a different

A large portion Of Cherry Island

IN with the mud that is being dredged
from the Cherry Island flats. AS this
famous shcal known as Cherry Island
flats, is seven miles long. some idea
OF the large amount OF mud that viii
have TO be removed. can be gained
from the fact that IL will be dredged
to a depth of from 20 to 80 feet. 1t Is
estimated that from to million
yards of mud will be taken from the e
shoal and this win m IN from 800 TO

exception OF one or two, have con-
scented TO nave the land filled IN with
the mud from the nass AZ far as can
be lcnrned there is no serious opposi-
ton 20 the plan and the several own
ers who have not given their consent
may do so IN a short time. The direc-
tors Of the Marsh Company have or
dered the road running through the
marsh from Fourth street to Edge
Moor abandoned and Il win also be
