Arrangements have been made ,tenta-
lively for the interment at Arlington OF
Gen. Joseph Wheeler. Asite has been Sc.
iectt near the front of the historic Lee
Mansion and it has been arranged that
there will be an escort from all the
branches of the United States force stat
ioned around Washington. The outlook
is for the greatest military funeral since
the inteFment of Gen. Lawton at Arling-
ton after his death in battle in the Philip
pines. Gen. Wheeler was known and
liked in Washington long before his SER
vice in Cuba. But that service identified
him as the real stuff that patriots and not
partisans are made OF and no one will
grudge him the honor of a national bur-

The coming of the Imperial Chinese
Commissina 10 Washington has been
something of revelation o officials here
and in no way more so "a An In the man.
n, that the 0rientals to-day went after
facts In national finance in the Treasury
Department. The mere coming of the
commission is not All indication that
China is making up but that she has
awakened. The Chinese are among the
most expert accountant. in the world, and
those who have seen them say the most
honest. 1t is fact that all of the big
banking ard commercial houses in Japan
have Chinese cashiers and tellers to
handle the money because Chinaman is
notoriousIy more honest than Jap. But
when the ChInamen got in touch with the
officials in the Treasury Department they
showed that they knew what they were
coming after and knew the answers to at
least half their questions before they
asked them. Most OF the Imperial Com
mission speak English like natives The
financial interpreter to-day was a grad
uate of Harvard and Stanford. He and
his fellows were not interested in seeing
machines punch holes in the discarded
greenbacks. They wanted to know the
system OF government bookkeeping, the
safeguards against leaks, the relation of
national bonds to national bank circula-
ton and things in that line useful to a
nation that has just established a paper
currency and is expending Its national
banking system. The members of the
commission have been quick to deny that
they were in this country either looking
after war material or exclusively inter-
ested in material progress. They say tnat
they are commissioned to study social and
economic problems. But from the thor.
oughness with which they went through
the Naval Academy and apparently alb
sorbed the whole system, it would seem
that they were not negligent OF the war
like side of western progress either.
And if China with her 400 million OF
population decided to reo-rganize on a
military basis, she will force the rest of
the world to sit up and take notice.

JACK" GLENNON DEAD.
Popular Deputy Warden Succumbs to
Illness at Saltwater.


The death oc John s Glennon, dep
uty warden at the state prison, which
occurred at all early hour Wednesday
morning at Saltwater, was unexpected,
and the announcement of his demise
caused q. pail Of gloom to fall over
this community. in which he had re-
sided since 1855. Deceased was taken
i'll a little more than Il year ago and
from the first it WAS feared that his
ailment was one that medical skill was
unable to cope with. He was con-
fined to his home Il few weeks, then
went away and upon his return again
took up his duties at the prison, but
his strength failed him and nc was
again compelled to so to- his home,
where he remained from that time OH.
His death was due to perniciouS
enema. He was l6 years of age and
is survived by n widow, two SONS and
two daughters. Ho came to saltwater
in 1888 and engaged as a boiler maker
in the shops of Seymour, Sabn e.
Co. Later he became assistant deputy
warden at the prison and resigned that
position to accept 4 position as chief
Of police III that city. Later he spent
Il year in Alaska and upon his return
went to Anamosa. Iowa, where hn
served as a. guard in the ponitentiary.
After his return from there he was
force at the prison and in 1901 Warden
Wolfer appointed him to the position
OF deputy warden at the prison, which
he held until his death, although he
was not engaged in that occupation
later than July last. He was an eX-
ceptionally capable prison man, and
was regarded as a thorough disci-
plinarian.
Mr. Glennon was held in high esteem
the news OF his death was Il decided

George A. 10th died at his home,
1903 Queen avenue north at 2 o'clock
Wednesday morning, after an illness
which was apparent but two days. Mr.
10th had been complaining for several
weeks to his intimate friends, notably
to Judge c. l.. Smith, that his heart
was troubling him. 1t developed after
his death that it was the lungs and
not the heart. He took a severe cold
Monday. which fastened his death.

Coroner kistler developed the fact that
death had resulted from oedema,

of police by David p. Jones that it
was supposed he had landed the posi-
ton, on the advice of many very
prominent men, who knew his sturdy
honesty and reliability as we'll as spe-
cial capacity for dealing with GRIM

the mayor to make another appoint

ty. Later Mr.. 10th ran in the pri-

GREAT BRIDGE
FOR DOMINION
Mile Long Structure to
Be Built by Cana
dian Pacific.

CHICAGO. June 27.-The Record
Herald today says: Plans have been
perfected by the Canadian Pacific to
construct a bridge near Lethbridge,
Alberta, which will be an engineering
marvel and probably viii be ranked
as one of the worlds wonders. The
plans call for structure slightly more
than mile long and 800 feet above
the water level. As compared with
other bridges of the world the Brook
lyn bridge is no longer, and Is not
more than half as high. The world
famed Tyne bridge In England, which
was built by Robert Stephenson fifty
years ago, is only half as long and
less than half the height.
The Canadian Pacific bridge will
span the Pelly River and is to be built
for the purpose of shortening and
Strengthening the route between Leth-
bridge and Mcleod. The grade of the
new line will be much easier and heavy
loads can be carried at less cost. The
work will be commenced at once.
