bourne and Sydney, Australia; the
Philippines, and return TO New York
by way of the Suez canal.
Secretary Metcalf announced the
future movements of the feet after

coal. After that they will go to Sa-

go to Manila, and while in the Philip
pines the annual fall target practice
will be held. Thence they will return
to the United States via the Suez ca
nal, stopping only at such ports as are
necessary for coaling purposes.

HISTORIC BUILDING.
SOMETHING OF YORK STATES
OLDEST HOMESTEAD.
Contains Relics of Robert Fulton and
Other Interesting Treasures, with
Reminders of the Indian

New York..Of all the. historical
bnildings in this state the Glen-San-
ders homestead, Scotia at Schen-
ectadv. is easily the frst-the first
in date as we'll as in interest to the
antiquarian and historian. For nearly
$50 years this mansion, constructed
from stone quarried from the nearby
rocks and timbers hewn from the for
ests, has stood there on the north
side of the Mohawk, just across the
river from the city, and watched the
old town of Schenectady grow from an
Indian castle to the most important
electrical city in the world. The bulld'
ings and estate have never been out OF
the family, and Charles P. Sanders,
the present occupant, is a direct de-
scendant of Alexander Lindsay Glen,
the son of a Scottish chief, who, when
exiled from his own country, founded
another Scotia in America.
1t was on July q, 1861, that Peter

1855 and the estate passed to the
youngest of his three sons, John Alex,
,ander Glen, better known by the
French and Indians as Maj. Coudre.
He married Anna Peek, the daughter
iof the settler from whom Peekskill
takes its name. Twenty eight years
after his fathers death John Alex

the north on account of slight
change in the river bed which threat
ened the foundations.
Mai. Coudre" died in 1871 and the
estate passed into the hands of Col.
Jacob Glen, who had command of all
the troops and militia west of Albany
1t was then that the mansion began to
be used as a storehouse of public docu,
ments.
On the river side of the house
which was originally the front, is the
old Dutch "stoop," whence one looks
, out where the Indians burned their
prisoners.
To the left of the roomy hall is the
spacious library with it's wide fire
place and magnificent view of the
river. On all sides of the room are
book shelves full of old English, Dutch
and French classics in rare editions;
bound volumes of the first newspa

jury of his peers. Stolid to the last,
he simply nodded his head and whis-
