Famous Army Officer Ar,
 riyes in SkagWaY

Gen. A. W. Greedy, chief signal off, GIT of the United States army and prob ably the most famous American Arctic explorer, arrived in Skagway yester- day afternoon on the Peterson and will remain at Skagway and Haines until Monday.
 Gen. Greedy comes to the north 10 in- spect the United States telegraph and cables line. He thinks the work on the Sitka-Seattle cable will not be further delayed and that it will be completed within two or three weeks.
 Gen. Greedy commanded the expedi- tion that went to the north in 1881 10 establish an Arctic observation station in accordance with general plan of the Hamburg International Geographic congress two years previous. Men un- der his command reached a point farth- CT north than had at time been at tained. Relief expeditions sent out failed to meet Greedy and in the sum- mer of 1883 be started his retreat, but he wSs caught by the winter, and it was not until June -, 1884, that he was res cued by Admiral Schley, then cap tain, after Is of the . men in the ex- petition had died of starvation and exposure. Gen. Greely's book, "Three Years oi Arctic Service" besides being a thrilling historical work, is recog- nized as an authority on the matters treated upon.
 Gen. Greedy went to Haines on the Peterson last night, as the guest of Mai. Richardson. He will return to SEagway tomorrow.

did not propose that honest entry
men should be made to suffer because
there are some dishonest entrymen
Senator Fulton went on to state that
the revocation of the general order
has been productive of no benefit OF
advantage whatever to the honest
entryman.
The secretary answered that he
fully appreciated the fact that great
inconvenience and annoyance has
been imposed on honest entrymen by
reason of the vast number of fraudu-
lent entries, but he asserted that he
is doing everything in his power to
conclude the examination, and that it
is the purpose of the department to
cause the patents to be issued to
every entryman who has acted in
good faith and in conformity to the
law.
Both Secretary Hitchcock and Com
missioner Richards asserted, however
that they are not suspending the
proof in all claims; that the proof is
suspended only in all instances where
the statement offered by the entry
man seems to indicate a want of good
faith or where charges of fraud are
preferred, and that vast numbers of
proofs are being approved and passed
for patent daily
Senator Fulton stated after the in
teryiew that while he regretted very
much that honest, bona fide entrymen
are being subjected to great hardship
and annoyance because of the delay
In Issuing patents, he is confident that
the Secretary of the Interior and the
Commissioners of the Land Office are
prompted in the Investigations they
were making by a commendable de-
sire to prevent the preparation OF
fraud and that they now fully realize
that the delay should, in justice to
the honest entrymen, be minimized to
the utmost, and while many will be
compelled to wait for some time for
their patents, It is the earnest desire
of the department that every honest
entrymen shall receive his patent at
the earliest practicable moment.
The senator also stated to the secre-
tary and commissioner that many
entrymen are apprehensive that by a
repeal Of the timber and stone act,
their pending entries will fail and
patents be refused on the ground of
repeal, and while he is confident there
will be no such ruling made. still 1t
would be a source of satisfaction TO
entrymen to know that the depart
ment holds the same view. He was
assured by both the secretary and
commissioner that he might say to
the people OF Oregon that, even
should the timber and stone act be
repealed, they would hold that all en-
tries that had been initiated in good
faith prior to the repeal would be
carried forward TO patent Roseburg

Last Saturday Senator Fulton and
Congressman Williamson took the

and Land Commissioner Richards and
following Is a report of the proceed

while there were unQuestlonable cases

great majority of the entrymen are
honest and conscientious people, and
Il is unjust that they should be put

suffer hardships of a long-drawn-out

case, no one will object 10 such case
being INVESTIGATED and. indeed, the
people OF Oregon thoroughly approve
the action of the department in in
vestigating such cases. But he Insisted
that those who are acting In good
faith ought not to be compelled to
suffer because some individuals are
found guilty OF fraud. He called the
attention OF the secretary and the
commissioner 10 the fact that when

New York, Dec. 9.-One of the
worst wrecks of the many made here
~ the great building operations, is
the site of the Pennsylvania railroad
terminal, bounded by Seventh and
Ninth avenues, and Thirty-first and
Thirty-third streets.
The work of razing the 400 build
ings on the property. which cost $10,-
100000, has been completed. But
there is still much debris to be re-
moved, and the district looks like a
city that has been devastated by fire
The work of preparation for the
building of the great terminal has
been carried on with remarkable ce-
lerity.
On an average, 500 men and 180
.eams have been employed daily in
getting rid of the hundreds of WELL
built brick and stone structures that
stood on the property. Three i'm
mense steam shovels, each capable OF
lifting 10 tons in one effort, and so
steam drills capable of boring through
81 feet of solid rock in a day, are
used in following out the large space
which will be used by acres of rail-
road tracks and underground struc-
lures Of the terminal.

New York, Dec. 9.-In order to pre-
vent further danger from leakage to
the interior as well as the exterior of
Grants tomb, it has been decided to
render the monument waterproof,
and the work of preservation is al
ready we'll under way. The system
used is identical with that employed
in saving the Obelisk in Central park.
1t consists in filling all the pores and
interstices of the stone with paraffin,
which is unaffected either by acids,
by alkalies, by water or by the gases
in the atmosphere.
The melting point of paraffin wax
is about lao degrees Fahrenheit, so
the stone, to undergo the waterproof
ing, must be heated by hot compress
ed air to temperature a little above
this. The paraffin was is then melt
ed and sprayed over the surface, and
this coating is finally driven by com
pressed air into the pores of the stone
to a depth of about a quarter of an
inch. 1t is estimated that by means
of this treatment stone may be kept
in a state of excellent preservation
for hundred years or more.
