Utzinger was about half way acioss the
bridge and had not noticed die ap-

by the bridge tender. He started on a
dead run andjust succeeded in getting
off as the train dashed by. After the
train had passed he was as white as a

TOR A VIOKSBUBG PARK. {
Union and Confederate Veterans Working '
Together on the Project.
WAs GTON, Jan. 25. —Much interest
is taken by the veterans of both the great
armies of the civil war in the project for
establishing a national military park to
commemorate the campaign, siege and
defense of Vicksburg. The battlefield lies-
about three miles east of that city, and
that part of which it' is proposed to make
the main body of the park isa piece of
land about one—half mile Wide by three
miles in length, inclosing 'the stockade
fort and the square fort, or Fort Garrett,
its wings extending from the main body
to the Mississippi river from above and
from below, and the whole containing
some 1, 200 acres. The earthworks used by
besiegers and besieged are to be restored,
and their identical cannon remounted there
wherever practicable, and where the orig-
inal ones cannot be procured, others of the .
same type will be used, so as to reproduce
us exactly as possible the lines of the two
armies as they Were drawn in 1863.
The movement for the park started at a
meeting of Union and Confederate veter-
ans on Oct. 23 of last year, at which an
organization was effected. About a month
later the committee appointed to take the
preliminary steps fell to work, and their
report, rendered two weeks ago, showed
that they had had a complete survey made
of the battlefield, obtained options on the
land which it will be necessary to buy,
and prepared the bill which Representative
Catchings introduced on Jan. 20, and
which the house committee on military
affairs has already considered. On all
sides the eminent fitness is recognized of
marking this field as its companion field
of Gettysburg has been marked. In the
opinion of many military experts here
these two victories for the Union arms set-
tied the result of the war, which was
fought out thenceforward as a matter of
pride and principle rather than in expec-
tation of any possible change in the decree
of fate.
The officers of the Vicksburg National
Park association are Lieutenant General
Stephen D. Lee of Mississippi, president;
Major C. L. Davidson of Iowa, vice presi—
dent, Captain W. T. Rigby of Iowa, sec-
rotary, and Colonel C. C. Flowerree of
Mississippi, treasurer. The executive com:
mittee consists of General A. J. Vaughan
of Tennessee, Governor W. D. Heard of
Wisconsin, Captain W. W. Stone of Mis-
‘sissippi, General A. Hickenloeper of Ohio
and Captain E. S. Butts of Mississippi.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 25. —Articles of
association of the Michigan Central Bridge
company were filed with the secretary of
state, the purpose of the company being
to construct a railroad bridge over the De-
troit river at Detroit. The company is
capitalized at $2, 000, 000, one-half of the
_estimated cost of the bridge, which is to
be three miles lone. ‘

“ «,1 Jaubert ,Suys. That “the Fire of
Treachery Still Smolders. ”
PRETORIA, Jan. 25.—General Jaubert,
commander in chief of the forces of the
Heilbren in which be thanked the burgh-
srs for their prompt, energetic and patri-
otic action in the recent troubles in the
Transvaal, said that the raid of Dr. J ame-
son and his followers was not the Work of
the honorable and noble section of the
British residents, but, on the other hand,
overthrow law and order. ~
the sympathy manifested by the govern-
ment and people of the Cape Colony, and
he foresawa great future for South Africa
if it were united. But, he said, quiet had
not yet been restored.
Weaponswere still b‘ig discovered in
the possessibn of men who had been called
upon to give them up, showing that the
fire of treachery still smeldered. '
matters as being quiet there; but a feeling
of unrest pervades" the populace, and the
many, are becoming dangerous. They are
leaving the city daily in small parties, but
their destination or objects cannot be as-
certained.
WASHINGTQN, Jan. 24.—Interest in the
efforts taken by the state department to
protect John Hays Hammond and other
Americans under arrest in the South Af-
rican Republic new centers in the expect-
ed report of United Stat-cs Vice Consul
Knight.
Scoret'n y Olney has cabled to Mr. Knight
at Cape Colony to proceed direct to Pro-
toria, make a thorough investigation into
the cases of Hammond and the other
Americans and report fully to Washing-
ton. Mr. Knight’s report is awaited with
much eagerness. It is expected to arrive
at any time.
Embassador Bayard sent a prompt reply
to Secretary Olney’s cable message of in-
quiry as towhether. Hammond and the
others Were safe. The state department
gave out the following statement in re~
gard to Mr. Bayard’s reply:
“In response to inquiry Embassader
Bayard telegraphed that according to his
indulgent treatment is beingoextended to
Boer government.”
There is nevertheless a feeling here that
the state department has not been kept
reliably informed as to the status of the
American prisoners.
A BIT OF PENCIL
Prized Because It Is a Veteran and Went
Through the Walt.
~ “I have a very fine and choice cabinet
of relics and specimens of the late war, ”
said J. Fillmore of South Dakota. “In
the collection is an old fashioned com-
mon lead pencil, only three-quarters of
an inch long, which was given to me by
Major J. B. Fairbanks, J‘Rrho carried it
through the entire war, and in present-
ing it to me the major gave me this bio-
graphical cketch of the pencil: ‘This
pencil is a veteran of the late war.
When it enlisted, it was round and of
full length.
‘ ‘ ‘When the war was over, it was, like
many other veterans, badly used up.
During its service it campaigned in dust

Maryland and Virginia, through the
swamps .of 'Mississippi, across the menu-
tains of Kentucky and Tennessee, again

to Appomattox. It has watched upon the

THE NATIONAL SENATE.
311w Bounties and Armenian Horrors
Subjects of Discussion.
WASHINGTON..Tan 25. ——M.1ny memorials
uoncerning the Turkish and Armenian
question were presented to the senate to.-
day.
Mr. Caf“ cry (Dem. ., La.) called the at~
tention of the judiciary committee to the
importance of the sugar bounty question
which had been referred to that commit-
tee. Mr. Caffery read a recent communi-
ratien from the president and secretary of
the treasury as to the suspension of pay-
ment of the bountics by the action of
Cemptroller Bowler of the treasury. The
senator said the subject involved the grave
question of the right of subordinate oili-
cials to nullify an appropriation made by
congress.
The Turkish Armenian resolution was
then called up by Mr. Cullom. The sena-
tor spoke of the serious conditions prevail-
lag in Turkey, saying he was appalled by
the carnival of blood prevailing. A mas-
sacre of innocence, unparalleled for ages,
had been perpetrated. The evidence of the
bloody enormities was given by all classes
and nationalities until it was beyond the
slightest doubt. A Turkish army had bay-
lneted, robbed, murdered and flayed alive
the people of Armenia. There was no war,
but a pitiless, merciless tornado 0f ruin,
bloodshed and death.
The demon of fanaticism had been let
loose. There was a responsibility some-
where. It did not rest With the slavish
ruler of Turkey, the sultan. Back of this
were the disputes of the countries of the
European alliance, seeking their territorial
advantages. These countries were respon-
sible. The sultan was but a puppet in
their hands. It was a mat-tor of regret and
embarrassment, continued Mr. Cullen),
that the policy of ' the United States was
such as to prevent the sending of a fleet to
Turkish watersge put a stop to the bloody
rule prevailing. But Europe had assumed
the obligation of protection to Armenia.
The people of the United States were in-
tensely interested in seeing the obligation
executed and the purpose of these resolw
tiens was to plead with _the greatest car-
nestness for the protection of Armenia. It
was amazing to people of the United States
to witncss this appalling slaughter and at
the some time to see the indifference of the
Christian powers.
Mr. Blanchard (Dc1n., La.) followed in
the same strain.
Mr. Gall then offered in the senate a
radical resolution demanding that by'
either peaceful negotiation or force of
arms the ’Auncman atrocities be stopped.
The resolution was defeated without di-
vision, and the Cullom resolution reported
by the committee on foreign relations paSs-
sd unanimously. ‘
