FRIDAY, JULY 5, 1901.
MR. MCKINLEY was elected last fall but "the spirit of the Fourth of July has not passed away" as Mr. Bryan prophesied it would.
PRESIDENT MCKINLEY and the entire cabinet endorsed the project of Secretary Hitchcock to organize a forestry bureau in tho department of the interior to carry out an extensive system of reforestation, along lines similar to those which have been successfully followed in Germany, and Secretary Hitchcock will at once start the work, which he believes will result in restoring in a few years the rapidly disappearing forests of the country.
SENATOR SCOTT, of West Virginia, denies in tho most positive manner that he wrote any letter, for himself or for the Republican national committee, to Gen. Sickles or to anyone else, promising that President McKinley would appoint another commissioner of pensions after his second inauguration, because neither he nor the committee had any authority from the President to make any such promise. He added that he might have expressed the personal opinion, which was at tho time held by him, that Commissioner Evans would not remain at the head of the pension bureau. His letter to Gen. Sickles bears out the latter claim. It is not expected that President McKinley will do anything in this matter for a time.
THERE is one excellent reason why neither President McKinley nor Secretary Root will be likely to favojt the adoption of the recommendation of Gen. Miles to order one half of the small force of about 5,000 soldiers, we now have in Cuba,home at once. We are responsible for the preservation of law and order in Cuba, and it would be taking unnecessary chances to reduce oar forces until after the exciting campaign the Cubans are likely to have for the election of th^e officials of their republic is over. It would be a temptation to the disorderly element to resort to methods in attempting to carry their plans through that they will not no*.v dare to use. Those who are be3t acquainted with the situation in Cuba, believe it would be very unwise to withdraw any more troops until after the Cuban government is on its feet, so to apeak. The first consideration of President McKinley and Secretary Root, is to see tbat the Cuban government is properly established, and that it shall be of the stable, not the mushroom sort. It is natural enough that the officers, and men on duty In Cuba, should desire^ to return home, and that they should utilize all their influence to get ordered back, but there is something much more important to be considered in the matter than the desire of our soldiers.

Disagreed.
The case of the state vs. W. J. Coons occupied the attention of 'Squire Stillwell's court all Tuesday and Wednesday morning, the sessions being held in thq small court room. Mr. Coons Is a road supervisor and it was charged that he did not keep the old Rattlesnake bridge in such repair that heavy logs could be hauled over it. Mr. Coons did not make the repairs because the trustee advised him not to, a new bridge having been ordered to replace the old one. It was shown in evidence that heavy logs could be safely hauled over the bridge as it was. The case was tried before a jury.
The jury came in at 3:15 and stated that they were unable to agree upon a verdict, and were accordingly discharged. Three of the jury wore for the plaintiff and could not be moved, one of them stating that he would stay until ice formed on the lower regions before he would go over to the majority.

(Continued from\first page.)
attiredjfor the days work and begun by attempting to force an entrance into the hotel bar to see "what wp.3 doing.', She found it properly locked, however, and then turned her attentions to the big night clerk «who was smoking a cigarette. "Throw that thing away young man" she cried stamping her foot and pointing at him dramatically. ''Don't you see that you are on the road to hell?" The clerk didn't see and he and Carrie exchanged some acrid compliments that fairly sizzled. On the sidewalk Carrie found several loafers who had been spitting on the sidewalk and she went after them in a way that was right. "There's a mark in hell against each one of you for that nastiness," she exclaimed, and as the loafers retreated she followed them with well turned abuse.
Carrie was the first attraction on the grounds after the parade and she held forth on a rickety stand erected in front of the grand stand. Upon the stand were a number of local' dignitaries and the good old woman was introduced by Mayor Elmore. Carrie fairly beemed upon the assemblage, a large one, and weno after the liquor traffic hammer and tongs. She gave the Elks a rap or two for luek and all she said was enthusiastically cheered by Mace Townsley and otner loyal rooters in the crowd. When the speech was over there was a movement on the part of the heavyweights on the stand and the thing very sweetly collapsed, precipitating Carrie and the rest upon the ground, an awful fall of about four feet. Carrie's fall was happily broken by Charley Gilbert, who landed under her and yelled lustily for help. Carrie suffered^ few bruises but got up smiling and cheering, rubbing a sore ankle a little, however. She asked those about her if they said their prayers regularly and being assured that they did, she advised the crowd to add a fenestra words that night for their happy deliverance. After her speech Carrie did a land office business selling her pictures, toy hatchets, and copies of her paper, "The Smasher's Mail." She spent the day on the grounds and slapped people on the back indiscriminately as she jollied them into buying her wares. Along in the afternoon she brought out a few bottles of liquor and had them smashed by some awe struck kids she rescued from the boys' chorus. Carrie was a warm feature of the day's entertainment and made the the day one of profit. For a genuine razor backed reformer she has an eye for the main chance.

The liiuuus started .in tlu Adelphi hotel, one of I lie leading liosfelries in the state, l'rom an electric wire on the tilth floor and lnul gained great headway before being discovered. There was not a gallon of water In the city reservoirs when the fire broke out, and all the fire engines in the city were out of repair. Rapidly the flames spread and soon half a dozen residences were aflame. The brick annex to the Adelphi hotel on the other side of the square also caught fire and was destroyed. This, as well as the hotel proper, was hand somely furnished. All is a total loss, together with a livery stable, a^id a number of private offices, fruit stores, barber shops and dozens of smaller structures. The fire engines that "were sent to the scene from surrounding towns soon broke down and the flames spread rapidly and unhindered. There is still m) water to be had in the city and lauch ajarux is felt for fear another fire will break out.

Ilock Island's "Chnntanqna" Type Rons Xlnety Miles an Hoar—New Pension System on tlie Chicago,
Milwaukee mid St. Pnnl^-Blg: IViillroati Terminal on Pacific Coast,
The dovico manufactured by the Pullman Automatic Ventilator company of Washington l'or supplying fresh air in all inclosed spaces was subjected to a test recently that demonstrated its adaptibilify for use in railroad coaches, says the Washington Post. Charles Lewis Pullman, president of the company, chartered tho car Rambler and had the windows fitted with temporary ventilators for his trip to the PanAmerican exposition.
The Rambler was attached to the Pennsylvania train leaving Washington at S o'clock the other morning, and the special was rushed through to Buffalo, where it will remain for several days on exhibition. The trip from Washington to Baltimore, however, provided all the conditions necessary for a test of the efficiency cf the ventilator. When the car pushed out of the station, every window was immediately closed. As soon as the traiu was in motion a perceptible difference was noticeable in the air of the car, although there was no draft or dust, which are the great drawbacks to open windows while traveling. A gentle circulation-became evident, and the difference in temperature was almost at once appreciable.
The train entered the navy yard tunnel, and while it was necessary to elexse the windows and celling ventilators in the othi-r cars of the train the Pullman ventilator continued to admit fresh air. On leaving the tunnel the windows and other means of ventilation were allowed to remain elosod, and when the train pulled into the station at Baltimore the thermometer had registered a fall of seven degrees, and the atmosphere of the car was comfortable, while outside the air was close and sultry. The passengers were also free from the dust and grime that usually attend a journey in summer.
While the test demonstrated that tht ventitator could be used to advantage in summer, another object is to provide a means of proper ventilation in winter. when it is not practicable to open the windows. The device is especially adapted to sleeping oars, as the end is fitted with a valve, which can be easily closed or opened.
The ventilator^ is made of tin in the form of an oblong box, with the side at an obtuse angle, which breaks the wind and is itself the secret of the methocl. The air is not admitted from the opening toward the engine, and the air is sent through the ventilator into the car after passing three angles, which prevents smoke, dust, cinders or rain from blowing Into the car. The ventilator is fitted in tl.e under sash and will rrot interfere with the raising or lowering of'the window.
A new style of locomotive has just been brought out by the Rock Island which, it is claimed, can run a good sized train at from SO to 90 miles an hour without special effort, says the Kansas City Times. It is known as the Chautauqua type and in regard to arrangement of wheels and outside appearance is mueb like the Atlantic engines, so well known in the eastern states. However, certain differences and improvements In design caused the builders to give a new name to this particular type. The engine has a four wheel swing truck, two pairs of drivers 7Sy_ Inches in diameter and a pair of trailing wheels secured to the engine in such a manner as to allow considerable lateral motion to the rear end.
Tho pension system just approved by the directors of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad differs from other railroad pension plans Inasmuch as It does not prescribe any age at which retirement Is made compulsory, says the New York Commercial Advertiser. Any employee, however, may retire at his own option at the age of 60 years. In general, the average amount of pension to be received will be about 33 1-3 per cent of the salary at the time of retirement.
For purposes of relief and pensions the employees will be divided into two classes, as follows: First class, those engaged in operating trains or rolling stock second class, those not so engaged. There will also be divisions of the employees according to their average monthly pay.
A conference of western railroad men was held in Chicago recently to devise measures for the building of a great union terminal station near the northern end of the gulf of California, says the New York Sun. The roads represented were Senator Clark's new Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad, the Denver and Rio Grande, the St Paul, the Rock Island and the Mexican Central. R. C. Kerens, vice president of the Los Angeles and Salt Lake railroad. is the chief promoter of this scheme. Efforts will be made to get eastern capitalists to organize an Independent company to build the proposed station.
New Orleans Our Second Export City. During the nine months of the fiscal year 1901 the exports from New Orleans were $122.'J34,(5G9, securing for that city, says a Washington dispatch to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat, a clear and undisputed title to the rank of second in the list of American export cities.
WOULD ALTER NIAGARA.
Washington Man Submits Remarkable Proposition. Joseph I. Keefer of Washington has submitted to the Niagara falls commission a plan to cut away a portion of Goat island, build an abutment and connect the American and Canadian falls in one grand torrent of water, says the Buffalo Courier. "My idea," said Mr. Keefer the other night, "is to build a great giant wall or abutment, with a stone top or coping that cannot be washed away and let the water from both sides of the island gracefully glide over the dam or stone esplanade, thus making one continuous stream of pure white water from the jut of one shore to the jut of the other. "I conceived the idea," he said, "when I was at the falls the other day. I was standing over on the Canadian side where the okl British museum used to be, and, looking across, the thought struck me how much prettier the falls would be if they were not broken 1 Goat island. Then I set to work to think how the improvement could be made. When I readied what I believe is a feasible plan, I made inquiries when the commission would meet and, finding it was to convene on the following day, staid over and attended its meeting at the Prospect House. "The commissioners seemed much taken with the idea and wondered why no one had ever thought of it before. They told me they would have their engineer figure on it and make an estimate of the cost and that they would correspond with me regarding the matter later. For further consideration of the matter I was referred to Andrew A. Green of New York."
Asked how much he estimated the cost of the improvement would be, Mr Keefer said: "That is hard to sav, but I am of the opinion it would not run over $50,000 or $G0,000. which would be a small price to pay for such an improvement. I shall bring the matter before the governor of New York and through him again to the attention of the falls commissioners. "The people ought to be interested In this improvement, for it will make a new falls at Niagara. It will stimulate the interest of those who have never seen the falls before, while those who have seen them will be anxious to come agaiu to see what has been done to preserve and improve one of the greatest American wonders."
Mr. Keefer already enjoys distinction of being the man who raised the first American flag in Alaska. lie is also a cousin of General George Washington.
INFORMATION FOR MARINERS
Valuable Dally PnblIe«*5on Issued by the Navnl Hyrtrogrnphle Ofllcc. The naval liydrographicotficeat Washington has just issued the first copy of a daily publication calculated to be of great benefit to mariners on the Atlantic and designed to supplement the excellent work accomplished for many years by this branch ©f the service: It is a daily memorandum of wreck, ice and fog reports for the north Atlantic and is said to be mailed every night except Wednesday to the branch hydrographic offices on the eastern seaboard at Boston, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, Norfolk and Savannah, says the New York Tribune. Hitherto ihe hydrographic office has published its monthly pilot chart of the north Atlantic, presenting graphically the conditions and positions of dangerous derelicts, floating ice and other menaces'to navigation, and this ekart^has been supplemented by weekly, bulletins issued Wednesdays, giving the latest reports from incoming ships for the benefit of outward bound vessels about to leave ports. This information, which has proved of great benefit to shipmasters sailiug on Saturdays, has, however, lost some of its freshness in the early part of the week following, particularly for vessels sailing from Philadelphia and Baltimore, which have a voyage of 36 hours before reaching the open sea and are often exposed to dangers which have been reported In the meantime near the coast. The new daily memoranda for the present will be manifolded by a simple process, aa no appropriation is available for printIng.

Artesian Water Found at Santa Fe. The Santa Fe New Mexican, in publishing a dispatch from Wyoming regarding the interesting discovery of artesian water on Sherman hill, which Is over 8,000 feet high, remarks that "Santa Fe is 1,000 feet lower than the spot where water was struck oa Sherman hill, and the day may come when some enterprising man will strike artesian water on the mesas at the foct of the range and thus open the way for reclaiming the fertile lands that surround this city." It is Interesting to note in this connection that the United States geological survey through its division of hydrography made extensive Investigations last season with very satisfactory results in the arid lands of central Califoria to determine the possibility of locating wells which could be used for irrigation purposes. This Investigation was conducted at the request and with the co-operation of the California Water and Forest association, which bore with the government half the expense.
Praise For American Locomotives. The American locomotives on the Bengal Central railway are most satisfactory, says the Calcutta correspondent of the New York Sun.
