Correspondents Are to Make Own
Arrangements.
Questions of arrangements for the
large number of foreign correspon-
dents who are DESTROYS of accompany
ing the Japanese field forces have been
bothering the war office a great deal,
says a dispatch from Toxic. The jap
anese wish to afford the correspon-
dents every reasonable facility pos
sible to make them comfortable while
campaigning, but recognize the diff
ficulty, owing to the difference Of con-
ditions of living to which foreigners
are accustomed.
After a prolonged discussion it was
arranged for the correspondents to ap-
point a contractor to run a field can
teen and undertake transportation.
The war Office has approved the
scheme, and expects all the correspon-
dents to rely on the contractor, but
will supply rations in an emergency.
The contractor also supplies the for
eign military attaches. He is bonded
to fulfil his agreement.
The war Office has finally determin-
ed to send only Is with the first col
umn, eight British, five American, one
Frenchman and one German, this be-
ing a representation proportionate to
the respective number of correspon-
dents here. Subsequent lots will &C
company the different columns. 1t is
impossible to obtain definite informa-
ton as to when the start will be made,
but the Is already selected have been
told to be ready to leave at moments
notice.

study for the career Of a civil en-
gineer. When Fl years old he had
machine shop in his native town. He
studied machinery and his opportunity
came when the shoe stitching machine.
invented by l.. r. Blake, proved to be
an utter failure. He bought the patent
outright and perfected a machine
which has revolutionized. the shoemak-
ing industry. This machine did away
with the little cobbler shops, with their
pegs and wax ends. and opened up big
factories. In a few years every man,
woman and child in America, who
wore shoes, paid tribute to him, and
Mckay gained millions.
McKay's partner was Robert 81.
Mathes, practical man Of inventive
genius. When the war broke out In
1851 they offered to the government,
something unheard Of, machine made
shoes for the army. In less than ten
years it is estimated that more than
100000 900 pairs of boots and shoes In
America had paid royalty to Mckay
and bis companies. In 1873 he formed
the Mckay Sewing Machine Associa-
ton, and In a series of lawsuits de-
feated all rivals, established his
patents and became the central power
in one OF the greatest monopolies.
Gordon Mckay married Miss Minnie
Treat, of Cambridge, many years
younger than himself. They lived to-
gether only a few years. There were
two sons, who have always been with
their mother. Mrs. KcKay finally Sc
cured q divorce, and became the wife
of Adolph A Won Bruening. an at
tache of the German embassy at
Washington, and now charge d'affaires
of the German legation to the Sultan
of Morocco. Mckay, who had always
been attached to his wife, sent her
jewels and other gifts on her wedding
day. and, it is said, gave her check
for 100000. The Kaiser became
angered at such attention, and the
young man was in the back ground fol
several years. Then, through family
, influence in Germany, he was restoret
to favor, after having returned to Mr.
Mckay the money given his wife.
Mr.. Mckay did much good with hi.
money. He educated a number Of
: young women abroad in music, gave
generously to Harvard college ant
founded a training college in Rhod,
Island for negroes, which college bears
