Free Of Charge.
The best feature about this matter
is that the site is given to the city
absolutely free of charge, and for
bringing this about, former Mayor
George w. Cook and G. M. Stafford
are entitled to chief credit. When
it was found that it might be impos-
sible to secure the T. G. Power site,
offered at a net outlay of 1850,
through the difference of opinion as
to whether the money should be Sc.
cured by special tax or through
subscriptions, Mr.. Stafford, who will
long be remembered as the donor of
the site for the court house, and of
part of the site for the Hill school
came to the front with an offer to
put in lots and 2, in block II, of Stat
ford's first addition for the small sum
of 5000. The lots have present mar
ket value of not less than $4,000, and
Mr.. Cook at once saw his way clear
to put the matter through. With the
assistance of some others interested
he went ont after subscriptions, and
before the library board met yester
day afternoon, had secured the en-
tire amount needed.
Meeting Of the Trustees.
The trustees met at the office O
Chairman Frank E. Smith, those pres
ent, besides that gentleman, being
Hon. David Hilger, Judge E. K. Chea
die and Mrs. Austin w. War;. The
tender of the site was made by Mr.
Cook, and the trustees then rescindet
their action in accepting the Power
site, and accepted that offered by Mr.
Cook, Mr.. Stafford and others. The
business was soon disposed of, ant
with the action taken by the council
last night, the machinery has com
menced to move again, and just al
soon as it is possible to communicate
with Mr.. Carnegie and get the plan:
drawn and approved, work on the

gie's gift is $4,000, and the entire
amount will go into the building.

but they succeeded in making the i'm
portant discovery that Sakhalin was
an island, separated from the CONT
nent by narrow strip of sea. Thence
forth this water was known as Mani
ya-no-uni' (the Sea of Mamiya).
Foreign nations, however, had no
cognizance of Mamiya's discovery,
and when Muravieff commenced his
celebrated exploits in the Amur in the
middle of the nineteenth century SAX
hahn was supposed to be part of the
mainland. Nevolskoy discovered the
error in 1848, and thenceforth the
strait was called the Strait of Tartary
on Russian maps. But, as In Mamiyas
case, so also in Nevolskoy's, outsiders
remained ignorant until the extrAor-
binary incident of the Elliott expedi-
ton in 1855.
"Sir Charles Elliott. with three
strong ships, posted himself in the
Gulf of Tartary, where, as he sup
posed, his squadron blockaded Rus
sian squadron lying in De Castries bay.
But within a fortnight the ice broke
up in the Strait of Tartary, whose ex-
istence Elliott did not suspect, and
the Russians steamed away north,
