that part of Virginia on Hampton
Roads. whose shores are lined with
historical points of interest. where
the jamestown Exposition will be
held in 1907. Foremost among these
landmarks, is Old Point Comfort, SO
named by the first settlers because of
the safe anchorage afforded by its pro
tected shores for their storm tossed
vessels. Here is also located Fort
of the United States Government on
the Atlantic Coast. With its grim
old walls and winding moat, Fort Mon
roe is one of the most picturesque AS
well as formidable military posts in
the country. Yorktown, where Corn
wallis surrendered to the Continent
tai Army, is only a two hours ride
by either boat or train from the En-
position. Here can be seen the mon
ument erected by the Government in
honor Of the great victory of the
American forces. The first custom
house ever erected in America is al
so located at Yorktown. Within a
stones throw of the Exposition site,
can be seen the remains of the earth
works. thrown up by the Confeder-
ate Army in their defense against
the Union troops in the battle of Sc
wells Point. The scene of the ia
nous battle between the Monitor and
the Merrimac, is also close by, the
fight having taken place only few
hundred yards out in Hampton Roads,
from the grounds of the Exposition.

THE OLD HOMESTEADS.

1t is as natural for us to love the trees,
the meadows, the old homesteads, as it is
to want food and drink. Our ancestors
built well when they erected those old
mansions, the walls Of which are in many
cases as firm and good to-day as they were
one hundred and fifty years ago. Our an
cestors lived more simple lives than we do
at the present day. They lived closer to
nature. They lived in the sunshine and
out of doors. As a rule they ate simple
foods and easily digested them. Today
the American people eat fast, eat unwhole.

close Offices, shops and lily ventilated

Of the good air, sunshine and eat good
fruits and vegetables. Nature also pro

regard to the Casey compromise;
'In view Of the gravity OF the
crimes charged against Mr.. Casey |
did hot feel that | could consist
emily take upon myself the responsi.
bility OF imposing a short peniten-
tiary sentence" said the Judge.
-Four indictments are pending here
against Mr.. Casey. The attorneys
desired to have me FIX sentence of
five years on each-that 10, a concur
rent sentence that would make the
total punishment only five years.
"ldid not feel that l had q right to
take such power into my hands.
I'll the prosecuting authorities had
been anxious to extend clemency to
Mr.. Casey, it would have been an
easy matter for them to have assum-
ed the responsibility by entering a
nolle pros on three OF the four indict-
ments pending. The sentence could
have been imposed only on the re-
naming indictment.

WAR Department
COMPLETES PLANS
FOR CHINESE CRISIS.
Details All Arranged For Throw
ing $4,000 Into Celestial
Empire II Necessity
Arises.
MANILA Is NATURAL CASE.

Washington, March 6.-Details OF
the War Departments plans for pro-
tecting American lives and upholding
American prestige In China became
known.
In case of a necessity, which to
military minds seems now imminent,
1t is the intention OF the Government
to dispatch 10000 regulars from the
United States to join a Philippine
force OF 5000 men for an expedition
to the Chinese Empire.
The troops Tor the Oriental service
have been selected, the posts from
which they will be taken are named
in the plans, and the proper allot
ment has been made among the va
rious branches OF the service.
Not only has this been done by the
officers who have been working out
the invasion scheme, but they have
perfected plan for the distribution
Of the troops which will remain in
the United States, so that they may
be available for any necessity.
The question Of transportation has
been considered, the location and
state OF repairs Of every Government
boat are known and preparations
have been made to call the Pacific
Mail liners into the service.
The scheme OF invasion, as at pres.
ent contemplated, is with the view
principally Of a combination Of the
American forces with those Of other
foreign Powers, but a subsidiary ar.
rangement made to meet the possi'
bility that the United States will be
forced to act alone contenplates q

seize one Of the greater coast towns

To Mark Confederate
Graves in the North.

Washington, March 5-The House
passed the army appropriation bill,
also the Foraker bill providing for
the marking Of the graves Of the Con.
iederste dead buried in the North.
The discussion developed a unsni-
nous sentiment in favor OF marking
Confederate graves, and as the bill
had, during the morning session OF
the Military Committee, received ia
vorable action, it was brought in by
Mr.. Prince and passed unanimously
amid applause on both sides Of the
house.
Points Of order made to the pro-
visions Of the cable ship for the
Atlantic Coast and for the ship for
mine planting on the Pacific Coast
eliminated these provisions from the
appropriation bill.
The alleged Powder Trust came In
for a scoring in debate, and Demo-
cratic favor to have the Government
begin the manufacture of It's own
powder consumed some time, but
met defeat, but on points OF order
and finally by direct vote.
The army bill as passed carries
something more than 100000, 900.

A Prairie Fire in Kansas.

Junction City, Kss.. March s.
One OF the worst prairie fires here In
years swept over the Smoky Hill
flats on the Fort Riley reservation
last night and for a time threatened
farm property that borders on the
reservation. About 1000 acres
burned. Much of this area was COW
cred with grass. The Kaw river and
broken ground on the north kept
the fire from the main part OF the
reservation. Nothing could be done
to stop the fire as 1t was carried
across the flats by a high south
wind.
