$500 MILES OF PEACE.

Ordinarily it's hard to get up much enthusiasm over the celebration of a treaty But the centennial anniVer- sary of the Treaty of Ghent coming at this particular time, is different. The treaty. which ended our second war with Great Britain, represent . ed more than the inauguration of q hundred years of peace (maY it he a thousandD It carried the provision that the boundary between Canada and the United States should he for ever undefended-
 It was an amazing innovation. The iingoes of the time phoo- phOoed ii. Of course it wouldn't work. Nations had to be fenced apart with forts. That was the way of Europe.
 Well. look at Europe now. There is the fortified Belgian frontier brok- en and ohliterRted There is the embattled line between France and Germany There is the carnage of the Russo German border. There are the laundering guns of the Danube. the shattered defenses of Galicia, the entrenchments where Austria faces Servia and Italy and the interminable lines of idle sentinels that guard the limits of Switzerland. Holland, Den mark. Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania.
 And stretching across this continent between two great nations. is the longest continuous international frontier in the world, $500 miles in extent without single fort, block house. gun or soldier.
 Most assuredly that is worth cele hrating And the two nations celebrated it with fitting enthu siasm on December A. with ceremon- ies in many cities of England Canada and the United States.

A CONGRESSIONAL BOON.

providing for the survey and charting, including a wire drag, of the waters adjacent to the Alaska coasts is un- occasionally the most important piece of Legislation relating to Alaska vet emanating from the Congressional halls The Alaska waters are almost without exception the most dangerous in the world and the long continued neglect of the national lawmakers to can he characterized as little short of shameful. Year after year the deadly toll of the sea has mounted up ship after ship has dashed itself against the rocky shores because of the almost total absence of light houses. or hung wounded and broken on some treach- erous and unsuspeeted reef until wash ed into the depths by some passing storm, and all this in the face of the fact that Alaska was. through the me dium of her gold. her furs and fish cries, pouring untold millions into the national coffers and also in the face of remarkably growing and expand ing commerce.
 Estimates of the Bureau of Navi- gation place the losses in Alaska wa ters at over twelve million aside from the hundred of lives sacrificed through the destruction of more than two hun- dred ships Fully three -fourths of these grim tragedies of the sea could have been avoided by a comprehen- sive survey and the installation of an adequate light house service; by the very thing that Congress has only lately decided to do, after pouring out untold millions. in providing ample protection to commercial lanes leading to back water harbors in the Philip pines and other remote and isolated spots. And, in truth it is really in the nature of miracle that provision to this end has been forthcoming even at thls Late day for 1t was only after most strenuous fight against severe opposition that the appropriation de- manded by the Department of Com merce was secured.

TRACK IN POTOMAC PARK
TO BE A PUBLIC BENEFIT
Secretary Garrison Explains and
Justifies Issuing Permit for
Temporary Railroad.

Secretary Garrison has issued a state
ment in explanation of his action in
giving a permit for laying a railroad
track into Potomac Park at 21st street,
as follows:
The facts with respect to the con-
struction of the new buildings for the
Department of the Interior and the re-
moval from that site of the dirt that is
to be put upon the Lincoln memorial
site are as follows:
"One hundred and fifty thousand Gu
bic yards of this dirt is to be transfer
red from the site of the new Interior
Department building to the Lincoln
memorial site. The Interior Depart
ment and the Treasury Department, the
supervising architects of which are In
charge Of this work, represented to this
department that 1t would greatly IA
cilitate the erection of the building if
this dirt could be removed upon the
railroad tracks running from the site
of the new Department of the Interior
building to the Lincoln memorial site.
Upon full consideration of all the cir
cumstances the conclusion was reached
that this request OF the departments
could properly be granted, largely be-
cause 1t would result in the interior
ence with the repairs in the track for
very much shorter time than If the
dirt were handled in any other way.
"A permit has therefore been rem
dered for the crossing Of the driveway
on B street by a railroad track for this
purpose, with certain conditions in
serted to retain proper control and OBJ
serve proper safeguards To prevent
any accidents to the public the part of
the driveway in which is included this
track and the one already erected over
the driveway for the Lincoln memorial
will be closed for a period of three
months"

Like Spruce Tree House. it sets within
a cave. the roof of which arches about
seventy-f1ve feet above it. and is To-
Gated in Cliff canyon, the floor of which
of the canyon. 1t is approached by
means of steps cut in the rock and
ladders. The buildings almost COM
pletely fill the 500-foot frontage of the
cave which is, as a rule, level, al
though at one end there is series
extending from the loose, crumbling
rocks in front of the cliff back to the
solid wall itself
Deep under the debris which covered
the lower entrance Of Cliff Palace the
excavators found the ancient entrance
to the building. which leads by a grad
ual slope to the center of the village
This pathway extends parallel with the
high front wall of centrally located
kiva and passes to a large rock, in
it enters the lower level of the village
through narrow court with high
walls, by means of a movable ladder
resting on the main floor of the cave
In the western end of this cliff ruin
there is a ceremonial chamber known
subterranean passage. This is one of
the twenty-three rooms in which cere-
monies are supposed to have been per-
formed by the ancients. Evidently
there were several clans in each sec
ton of these great dwellings, and the
sections around plazas or central
courts. These wonderful archaeological
ruins present to the visitor unusual
opportunities to see the early type of
dwellings. and offer to the student OPP
portunity, to study early life. construc-

BATTERY CA"
-By'Webster.

| Four new 3-inch field guns of the
! latest model were exhibited to the pub
lie yesterday by Battery A, Field Ar
tillery. N. G. D. c., when they were re-
viewed by the President on the Monu-
| ment grounds. Early in the summer
the Bethlehem steel works organized a
battery of field artillery. but were not
supplied with guns by the federal gov
eminent, so the District battery for
warded its guns to Tobyhanna, Pa,
where they have been In constant use
all summer. The hard treatment neces-
Stated by the maneuvers in the Pocono
mountains made the guns look as
though they had been through a cam
paign in the European war. but the
the guns. as they were the only four
ever turned over by the army to the
steel works, and when maneuvers were
over they asked permission to retain
to Washington from the watervliet
arsenal. They were mounted on their
carriages by Chief Mechanic Willis S.
Bryant and his assistants. the car
riages given new coat Of drab paint,
and with the harness all overhauled
the battery made very good appear
ance on its review.
Before joining the local guard in its
parade and review a mounted drill was
held on the streets and extending into
Potomac Park from 1880 in the morn
ing until time to join the parade and
review. This gave the men an oppor-
tunity to get accustomed to the saddle
and break in the green horses which
were hired for the occasion.
Maj. Summeral, artillery representa-
tive in the bureau of militia affairs of
the War Department, informed Cant
Vogt that the horses for the local com
mand were on their way, and would in
all proba bility arrive soon. They will
be quartered not far from the battery
armory, and will be available at ali
times for mounted instruction. They
will be cared for by men employed by
the War Department. one man being
allowed for each four horses, but one
of the caretakers the War Depart-
ment explained, must be a horseshoer.
The department will furnish the shoes
and necessary material for keeping the
horses in first-eiass shape, but will not
pay for any bills for shoeing the
horses. The acquisition of the horses
will give the local battery more on
portunities for weekend hikes and
drills. The battery has heretofore gone
to Fort Myer once every three months
for weekend hike through Virginia.

Sinking of Virginia Elizabeth Re-
suit of Vessel Being Stolen.

To receive a general overhauline,
made necessary by the boat having
sunk in a heavy gale in the early part
of this month. the power launch ViE-
ginia Elizabeth. belonging to E. G. and
Frank Gummell Of this city. is out on
the marine railway at Regan's yard.
The launch, before the accident, was
one of the best equipped pleasure craft
on the Potomac. Just before she sank
she had been taken to Colonial Beach,
and while lying there. it Is stated, was
stolen.
The thieves. after using her, anchored
her near Riverside on the Maryland
side of the river. When the storm came
the little craft dragged anchor upon
the beach and filled.
When raised it was found that the
hull was considerably damaged, and
that the water had ruined much of
her pretty furnishings. The Virginia
Elizabeth is to be restored to her for
mer beauty. and will be used by her
owners for summer cruising on the
river during the concluding weeks of
the summer boating season. 1t is prob
able she will be on the railway for a
week Of ten days.
