‘é . THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., FRIDAY, JANUARY 25, 1889. SOUNDING MR. BAYARD. GETTYSBURG’S LAST BATTLE. FEEDING A BIG CITY. DANCING IN KNICKERBOCKERS. An Agent of Bismarck Informed Long | The Contest Over the Location of the What It Requires to Victual the City of | An Innovation in Evening Dress In- Ago of this Country’s Samoan Policy. 0 New York Evening Post of yesterday says referring to the Samoan corre- spondence ‘tions that can now be made public on this side of the water without injuring any one. Shortly after the Cleveland administration was seated a Germ.n citizen of Berlin, who held no official position, called on Secretary Bayard and asked bim blantly, as from Prince Bismarck,whether Memorial Monuments. From the Grand Army Record. The original battle of Gettysburg was fought “There is one point in the negotia- | July 1, 2, and 3, 1864, and it has been quite gen- erally believed that no other action was likely to take place in that now famous town, except such bloodless contests which ensue when old veterans make a pilgrimage there to fight over this same renowned engagement, But now a new battle is about to be fought on this identi- the United States would object to Germany as- | ©#! field. Skirmishers have been driven in and saming a protectorate over Samoa. Mr. Bay- | the fight seems imminent. The casus belli, as ard replied that the United States could not consent to any such separate control of the islands on the part of Germany. Thereupon the interview ended in the same friendly spirit in which it began, Mr. Bayard’s interlocutor returning immediately to Berlin, and the im- ression was left that no bens would be taken = Germany inconsistent wi country. it is evident now that Bismarck had formed the design of getting possession of the islands, and that he wanted, if possible, to get an un- official assurance from our government that his movement would not be bay oe Failing in this, he did not desist from his purpose, but set about it in another way. As there is no Written record of what transpired at the inter- view above mentioned, it is comparatively easy for so skillful a practitioner of ‘diplomacy’ as Bismarck to interpret it in any way he pleases or to ignore it altogether.” THINES IT WILL BE ALL RIGHT LATER ON. The Cologne Gazette declares, in commenting ou the Samoan question, that there is no occa- sion to fear that the excellent relations be- tween Germany and America are in danger of undergoing any radical change. It says: “Comparatively little importance is to be at- tached to the last acts of an American govern- ment about to quit office. Under the presi- dency of Mr. Harrison a complete clearance of Mr. Cleveland’s official staff becomes unavoidable. Mr. Cleveland’s most recent steps, therefore, have lost their importance, and his actions are in no way binding upon Mr. Harrison. From the intelligence received here it is evident that the American govern- ment treats the Samoan question in a spirit hostile to Germany and on a basis of incorrect suppositions. It is imcorrect to speak of a violation by Germany of actual agreements between the treaty powers, as no treaty was ever concluded between Germany, Great Britain and America in regard to Samoa, while on the other hand such a treaty does exist be- tween Germany and England. - The excitement in America is, therefore, incomprehensible. Mr. Bayard has declared that he does not know whether Klein is an American subject, but nevertheless he is responsible for Klein's mis- deeds.” Commenting on the Samoan affair, the Lon- don Ners says: “It is extremely important that England should act cordially with America. It is, therefore, the more to be regretted that we have no minister at Washington. If Lord Salis- bury would be a little less humble to Germany and a little more civil to America it would be better for all the parties concerned.” The Standard’s Berlin correspondent says: the amicable re- lations which had previously existed with this legal men would say, seems to be this: Several regiments have erected monuments on that field under the direction of the association hav- ing the field in control. Among these are the fifteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth Massa- chusetts regiments,’ which had the dis- tinguished honor of seizing treason by the throat, and holding it till it grew black in the face, at the famous stone wall in the crest. There these and other — have erected monuments; and, as is well known, the whole of that great field is becoming thickly studded with unique and appropriate memorials, which commemorate the valor of the Union soldiers on this ground. Each of these stones has been located in the most pains-taking way by the veterans, aided by Col. Batchelder, the his- torian of the field, and all of them determine, as accurately as it will ever be determined, where each regiment and battery represented stood at certain crises in that three days’ struggle. Now, as we understand it, comes along the association, who were a to the location of the monuments, and declare that some of them must be moved nearer to a certain ave- nue, or to make way for an avenue projected, or for some other reason which has appeared at this eleventh hour, and which naturally seems to the veterans interested insufficient and, on the whole, outrageous, and a lively sort of a ruction is the consequence. As the matter lies, in our minds, the veterans are jus- tified in making their earnest and emphatic protests against the proposed removals. Of course it would be in some respects eminently satisfactory if all these monuments could be made to right-dress along a ious and well- aded avenue, through which tourists might Sis and raed’ avery inscription without once alighting from their carriages. But, as we un- derstand it, those monuments were erected in the interests of history and not for the conven- ience of tourists. One of these landscape gardeners once took charge of King’s Chapel burial ground in Bos- ton, and thought it desirable that a circular walk should be laid out through it. His plan recog- nized no such slight obstacles as tombstones, which were taken up in large numbers and set on either side of the path, where they may now be seen, many of them far removed from their riginat locations, so that the inscription, Here lies,” which they bear, has taken ona new significance. No monkeying of this sort should be tolerated with the Gettysburg me- morials, and public sentiment will sustain the | veterans in making a vigorous protest against contemplated removals for mere wsthetic reasons. —_——_<0e-_____ A Defense of the Sluggard. New York. From Good. f. The business of producing and providing food for mankind farnishes a livelihood to a ma- jority of the race. Generals in command of armies of 20,000 or 50,000 men have been brought to ignominious defeat and flight for the lack of power to supply them with food; and yet a population of two-and-a-half million people in and around New York is supplied with food every day and for every meal from all parts of the world. Ten thousand head of cattle are slaughtered every week to provide New York with beef, and that is not more than one-half of the beef th: is consumed there. Some of the beef comes in on foot; the rest in refrigerator cars from the west. Swine are tage 2g in dressed; but sheep are all killed in the city. The ter part of the fresh fish supply of the dy comes in refrigerator cars from and Gloucester; the rest comes to the markets in fishing boats. Enough fish is kept ahead in the cold storehouses to last the city two or three weeks, e vegetables come from almost every- where. Lettuce is mainly brought from near Boston, where one firm ships $100,000 worth of iteach year, Enormous amounts of celery come from Kalamazoo, Mich. The south sup- plies the early vegetables, and some of them come from Florida. They come on fefrigera- tor cars, and because they can be safely emi and easily kept they no longer com- mand fabulous prices. But the bulk of the green vegetable business is still done in the old way by farmers who come in from their —— five to thirty and more miles away and sell their produce from their wagons. Some of them start in the afternoon and drive all night, ofven sleeping in their wagons, and only waking when their trained horses have brought them to the ferries at 1 and 2 o'clock at night. The Ganse- voort market is the only place where they are allowed to expose their ‘‘truck” for sale in the city, and there it is sold to dealers. In sum- mer time as many as 3,000 wagonsa day are driven in. The cattle on a thousand hills daily contrib- ute the milk that New York consumes the next day. The farmer gets from one and one-half to two and one-half cents a quart for it and the consumer pays eight and ten. The difference is divided among the railroads, commission merchants, and peddlers, the latter getting several cents a quart. One of the curious things of the provision business is that eggs laid in Holland and Germany get to New York in less time than from some western states, and are actually cheaper than fresh eggs laid in this country, the reason being that they are rated as “‘limed cee.” Queer Fish in Hampton Roads. From the Chicago Mail. To-day I stood at the desk of one of our large hotels and listened to the following fish stories, and I have come to the conclusion that either they have some very queer fish in the briny waters of Hampton roads or that the Vir- ginian who told them was a pretty clever fab- ricator. “You never saw a balloon fish?” queried the Virginia gentleman of the clerk. ‘No, I never troduced by a Society Club. From the New York Sun. The dance that was given on Monday night by Mr. and Mrs. William Douglass Sloane, at 642 5th avenue, in honor of the debut of Miss Louise Shepard, daughter of Col. Elliott F. Shepard, was marked by a picturesque and in- teresting social innovation in costume worn by @ group of seven young society men, who have recently formed themselves into aclub, and who propose hervafter to discard the regula- tion evening dress at receptions or balls, The leader of this club is Broker John C. Furman, who is connected with Waterbury & Co., of 132 Front street. His associate¢ are: Messrs. Thomas Howard, Robert Hargous, James Waterbury, Worthington Whitehouse, Edward C, Potter‘and Broker 8. 8. Sands, jr. They arrived on ym ¢ night after the drawing room was well filled with guests, and sauntered in, dressed all alike in knee breeches and tailless dress coats. Their arrival made an instant sensation, and the debutante and the belles who were clustered about her studied the novel attire with admiration. The knee breeches of each of the seven swells were of rich black satin, fastened at the knee with silver buckles. Black silk stockings encased the calves, and the dancing pumps were made after the fashion of the old nickerbocker shoe and fastened with buckles of burnished silver. The dress coats were of black velvet, cut some- what after the style of shooting-jackets, and were worn over low-cut waistcoats of black watered silk, such as is worn with the big bon tion dress coat of the present season. Each man wore a linen dress shirt with plain bosom and standing collar, encircled with a plain white tie. soe Stories About Grant. By Charles P. Bryan in America, Corroborating the estimate of General Grant given in these paragraphs, ex-Governor Routt, of Colorado, relates some further instances of his old friend’s kindliness and modesty. In the convention of 1880, John L. Routt lead the Col- orado column among the 306. Soon afterward the ex-president visited the Rocky mountains, accompanied by Mrs. Grant. Leaving her in Denver, he made a round of the remote mining camps with Governor Rontt and one of his own sons. Heeding no hardships, the general penetrated into the very heart of the conti- nental divide and across it into the wildest re- cesses of the San Juan. With the true spirit of a soldier he never once complained of unavoid- able deprivations, and one night while lodging ina log-cabin, when his bed completely col- lapsed, he forbade his companions to move, assuring them in the dark that a straw mattress on the floor was a softer bed than many he had lain on, Before retiring General Grant al- ways arranged for the starting time next morn- ing, generally naming the earliest possible hour. He was then invariably ready himself and manifested impatience at any delay. From one of the small towns near Crested Butte, in the Gunnison, a cavalcade of 150 young men and women, handsomely mounted, rode ont to meet the general. As they ap- roached, the horse of one of the girls took EDUCATIONAL Shih eee FAMILY SUPPLIES. _ Ugg GRAPE WINE . ~ 4 o 1245 7th st. a. emer 2 de Paris, clasees Gress 1512 19th, wee 6 iat umber of puptis will iso be 29 Wallach Pisce, Jal 8-1m" ‘8, WITH HIS UNIVERSITY at.

Kooner or later it was bound to burst, unless replaced in the water. Governor Routt also dwelt upon General Grant's objection to illicit anecdote. His mo- rose silence was a sterner rebuke than words to those who, in his presence, indulged in questionable talk, He suggested while in Colo- rado that the offensive name ofa creek near Los Pinos be changed to “Puppy,” or, he added, in an impru moment, to “Carl Schurz, another synonym.” When he returned to camp that same evening he learned that one of his boys had repeated this pleasantry, much ‘to the general's chagrin, who reprimanded his son severely for his indiscretion.
