LONDON. July 9.-Andrew Carnegie

The approval Americans are giving to
the Canadian suggestion that suitable

Carnegie, to be erected on the frontier
near Niagara. is the subject of many
expressions of pleasure on this side of
the Atlantic. Never were the feelings
of Britons toward the United States more
friendly than they are today.
Now that the scheme is taking tangible
shape. it is expected that British COM
mittee will be organized, though action
may be postponed until the arrival in
England during the late summer or early
autumn of the special delegation Of
Americans who are to discuss the plan
here and in Canada.
If Mr. Taft accepts the post of hon.
orary president of the American national
committee 1t is believed that King George
will accept the corresponding post on the
British committee. All the British peace
organizations will throw their influence in

bration a character uniquely impressive

Gated to the gunners below The system
of calculation, observation and communi-
cation is a complicated one. and much
depends on the efficiency of the observers

servers soud be behind armor, with
their instruments fully protected against
the fire OF the enemy. While the cage
mast has been so constructed that it re-

the successful hits likely to be made by
the enemy, there is, on account of the
altitude Of the platform, certain amount
OF vibration at certain speeds. 1t is be-
ieved it would be just as well If the fire
control station was located nearer the
deck, and experiments are to be conducted
on board the Delaware with the station

CENSUS OFFICE CLERK
PLACED UNDER ARREST
Police Allege lie Was Trying to
Dispose Of Stolen
Watch.

Lyman NJ Moore, eighteen years old,
employed as clerk in the census ONCE,
and residing al Langdon. was arrested
yesterday afternoon by Detectives Pratt
and Hewlett because he was found en-
deavoring to dispose OF an alleged stolen
watch. His explanation was that he had
purchased the watch from another man
in the office, the latter having lost his
position and left the city.
Early in November of last year Eugene
Hartley Of 11O1 o street northwest went
to the Mushroom at the census Office
and left his solid gold watch hanging on
nail. When he returned he found that
his timepiece had disappeared.
The detectives made an investigation
of the affair at the time. Suspicion. it
was thought by some of the clerks,
pointed to a particular individual, but
the detectives thought otherwise and re-
fused to arrest him.
Moore seemed surprised when the detec-
tives placed him under arrest. He pro-
tested that he was innocent Of any
wrongdoing, and declared he had pur-
chased the watch. The detectives will
make an effort to locate the man Moore
says sold him the watch. and while the
investigation is being made Moore will
be held in custody unless he furnishes
bond for his appearance.

PASSES BAD CHECKS
Allegation Made Against Mrs.
Marian H. Kelly.
ARRESTED BY DETECTIVE
Woman Was Formerly in Business
in Washington as Hairdresser
and Manicurist.

Mrs. Marian H. Kelly, formerly a hair
dresser and manicurist OF this city, was
arrested In Atlantic City yesterday on
the charge of having passed worthless
checks on merchants In this city before
leaving for the watering place. Mrs.
Kelly. who is thirty-three years old, and
had her place of business here in Yer
mont avenue. gave a fictitious name, 1t
is stated. when Detective Charles Null
len OF the District force touched her
on the shoulder and asked her name.
Later Mrs. Kelly admitted her identity
and expressed a willingness to return to
this city. She reached here late yester-
day afternoon in charge of the detective.
The defendant is alleged to have given
local merchants six checks for sums ag-
gregating $11311. They are held by the
police as evidence against her. and, the
detectives say. she admits the charge.
Two of the checks. one for $40 and the
other for 50, were given for goods pur-
chased at the store of Lansburgh &
Co. one for $24 given to Schmedtie
Brothers. Jewleds; one for $33.17 given to
S. Kann. Sons & Co. one to M Stein &
Co. for $40. and one to the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Co. for SIS.
Orders Goods Sent c. o. D.
1t is alleged that Mrs. Kelly ordered
goods at the several business places and
had them sent c. o. D., giving a check in
payment for them and in some instances
receiving the change. The police say
she has been arrested on similar charges
prior to yesterday, but she has never
been in prison.
Following the several complaints made
Of the passing of the worthless checks
Inspector Boardman detailed Detectives
Warren and Mullen to make an investi-
cation.

LAMB At CHRISTMAS.
This New Breed of Sheep Is
Expected to Produce It.
A QUEER-LOOKING ANIMAL
Comes Originally From Africa, Is
Red, and Has Hair In
stead of Wool.

Spring lamb at Christmas is one Of
| the goals toward which the Department
of Agriculture is working. OF course. If
it succeeds measurably we'll 1t will be
good thing for sheep raising farmers and
a triumph for the department, but it is
not looked upon by the department OFF,
Gals as any epoch-making experiment.
The most curious thing about the work
is the material with which it is being
carried out. They have q new breed Of
sheep out at the experiment station at
Bethesda and they look less like sheep
than they do like almost anything else.
There was a goat breeder out at the sta
ton recently, a man who has handled
almost everything in the goat line, and
he said: What new breed of goats Is
that you've got down the hill, it's a new
one on me-" That is about the sort of
looking sheep they are, decidedly like
goat
Originally From Africa.
They come originally from the west
coast Of Africa, but this particular herd
came from Barbados and they are gen.
orally referred to around the station as
the Barbados sheep. They are red as
a bright bay horse with black under
meath and black legs and feet. They
are shaped distinctly like a goat and
they have no fleece, being provided with
short laying red hair, just like goat.
In spite of coming from such hot
climate they stand the winter here very
well, even without fleece blanket. Like
a goat they will eat anything. They
are regular wild animals and they will
clear out underbrush better than a man
with a grubbing hoe. but they have the
disadvantage that when the underground
is gone they will girdle big trees.
The virtue of the strange sheep is that
they are extremely prolific. They have
and occa sionally five. The great trouble
lis that many of the young die because
it is thought the mother does not have
milk enough to go around, not being an
ambulatory hotel.
Crossed for Better Mutton.
or course. such thin fanked animals do
not raise satisfactory legs Of mutton. but
it is thought that this can be correct;
ed. The sheep mature very early and
some of them are being crossed with
Shropshire to see whether a strain can
not be developed that will have the
fecundity and the early maturing quail
tiles of the original sheep and at the
same time will give a good marketable
| leg of lamb. 1t Is in this way that the
department hopes to produce spring lamb
in time for Christmas.
Some experiments have already been
made In breeding wool onto the goat
like sheep. Some of them have been
crossed with merino and the result is
what looks like felt-covered sheep
About half the coat is wool and half Is
hair.

Beauvoir, Harrison County, Miss,
July IS, 1881.
R. C. Holland, Esq,
Ny Dear Sir:
Accept my thanks for your
kind letter of the 28th ultimo.
In reply to your inquiry I would
say:
The states cannot be deprived
of their reserved rights exeepi
by their own actions in a grAeral
convention such as formed the
constitution.
AS each state did by its own
consent, in separate convention
delegate certain powers and re-
serve the rest, so must each state
grant any additional power as
the only means by which it can
justly be deprived of it. Force
may prevail over right, but can
not destroy truth.
The exercise OF the power to
coerce a state cannot give to
that act constitutional authority,
but it has been so acquiesced in
that the remedy of secession by
an oppressed minority must be
considered impracticable.
The South never asked for
more than faithful construction
of the constitution as interpret
ed by the men who made it, and
if in the future that can be Sc
cured we may be content,' though
we cannot surrender right even
while admitting our inability to
maintain it.
| was much gratifed by the
expression of your opinion in
regard to the past and tender
to YOU my sincere regard.
Respectfully and truly yours.
