INVESTIGATE N C

Washington, D. O., Dec. 2S-In probing the charges filed against Dis 5rict Attorney Harlan by Governor Hoggatt and others, Attorney Gen eral Bonaparte finds allegations of official rottenness in the Third judi cinl district, especially in Fairbanks. Evidence has been offered that gamb- ling has been permitted and dance halls flourish there. The charge has also been made that the district att torney and some of his deputies have received retainers from gamblers, thus defeating the ends of justice. The president has been informed of the allegations against Harlan. On the other hand, Judge Harlan invites the fullest investigation of the con- duct of his office by himself and deputies, denying in toto the allega- tions made. Telegrams have been pouring into the department of justice from responsiblel citizens of Valdez and Fairbanks strongly indorsing the district attorney and the administra- tion of his ofiiae. Before acting in the matter, Bonaparte will take testi- mony from Valdez and Seattle regard ing the case.

WHEN MONITOR AND
MERRlMAC MET
Recalled by Anniversary of Struggle
of Ironclads.
(Philadelphia Public Ledger)

N6nildO6lpnid GuDHC Ledger
March was the anniversary of the
battle of the Monitor and the Merri-
mac in Hampton Roads. Apropos Of
that great sea fight, Bishop Mackay-
Smith related yesterday several inter
esting anecdotes about Admiral Wor-
den. who commanded the victorious
irOnclad. The admiral was a member
of ST Johns church, in Washington,
while Bishop Mackay-Smith was rec
tor there, and when the old fighter
died his rector was at his side.
The final scene in the admirars life
was thus described by the bishop:
The admiral lay in bed staring with
| black lustre eyes. ] asked him:

His answer was:
lie - -
Why, don't you know how a dozen
times you have told me about your
great fight with the Merrimac and
about President LincOln's visit to your
/ bedside when you were down with cry
sipelas; how you told him it was a
! great honor he did you, and how he
said the honor was his to be permitted
to be in the presence of so great q
commander
No, it's all a mistake. 1 never
| commanded the Monitor The only
fight L ever had was with a British
brig off Cornwall. I remember | com
manded in that battle. but | can't
remember fighting the Merrimac.'
But, admiral, we have not had
war with Britain since 1872. Never
mind, though. You're going home now
and 1 hope you'll have a good voy-
age
Looking up to heaven, the dear old
fellow said:
Yes, it's all right
And these were the last words he
ever spoke"

away. His last years were spent in
great comfort in Washington. whittier
he retired after having commanded at
Annapolis. Like so many of the men
who fought in the civil war, he was

route. They were drawn by poor brOl-

not exceeding four miles an hour. Hud-

looking old man, indeed, not because
he looked friendless. for. of course. he
was not, but because he conveyed the
impression that he would rather be
doing anything else and yet to do what
he was doing was better than doing
nothing.
