Davis, who is in charge of the publication of the Rebellion Records, will, in a few days, present to Secretary Proctor an argument in favor of the publication by the War department ,of a map of the battle field of Chattanooga as a companion to that just fin- ished by Capt. Sanford C. Kellogg, fifty cav- alry, @ mention of which was made in Ine ‘Staz last Monday. Maj. Davis, in « conversa- tion with a Star reporter the other day said that he considered the map of Chickamauga Produced by Capt. Kellogg one of the most valuable additions to the science of tactics ever contributed. The officer's intimate acquaint- ance with the battle, derived from his experi- ence as a member of Gen. Thomas’ staff, was of inestimable value in the working out of the lines and the various positions occupied by the troops during the two days of the battle. The baitle of Chattan he said, bore a most in- n Felation to that of Chickamauga, being the direct sequence of the latter engagement. The field is rapidiy undergoing the obliteration and effacement that isa direct effect of the spreading influences of towns and cities. The town of Chattanooga, said Maj. Davis, is grow- ing quite rapidiy and some of the importan' fortifieations that bore a direct relation to the outcome of the fight are even now absorbed into the outskirts of the city, and there is a danger that in a very short time there will be streets and yards along the battle lines and other landmarks that can never be replaced. The battle of Chickamauga, he thinks, was one of the greatest strategic manwuvres of the war, approaching in importance to the crossing of the Alps by Napoleon. The succeeding en- agement of Chattanooga involved a much jarger army and in some respects was of more importance. The cost of the publication of a map of the field would be a mere trifle, not amounting to more than $2,000 at the most, and the value of such a work would be incaiculable, There are not very many of the battles of the late war that are susceptible of such treatment with advantageous results, owing to the great variety of geographical conditions. AMERICAN IMPROVEMENTS IN FIGHTING, ” Maj. Davis, during the conversation, went on to remark that American warfare so far as it had gone has produced a result upon martial methods in vogue among the advanced powers of Europe. The tactics of skirmishing were originated in the revolution, but it was many years before the military geniuses of Europe recognized their importance in battle. Napo- leon was the first to see the value of the Amer- ican mode of fighting and his initial step was to investigate the work of the French troops in this country during the revolution and this, of course, involved the incidental study of much that was thoroughly American. ‘The result was that in his future campaigus he employed the skirmish line to the great confusion of his enemies. Frederick the Great, with all his military genius and skill, moved his menasa child does its toy blocks in great masses that carried everything before them by sheer force. It was his exquisite handling of this machine that brought him victory, but had there been opposed to him a general with an equivalent force who was an adept in the science of skir- mish fighting he would probably have been de- feated every time. ANOTHER AMERICANISM. Another Americanism in war that, after being pooh-poohed at for years by European general has been finally adopted all over the world, is the system of throwing up light fortifications or breastworks in the field of battle. It was formerly the custom to lead on a line as far as itcould go and then there would either be a Yictory or a rout. But some of the keener military minds of the rebellion conceived the idea of providing our soldiers with light, easii portable digging implements, with which th could, at a moment's notice, throw up a trench across a bullet-swept field and there was a line of earthworks as safe as a fort. The idea prob- aby originated in a custom of certain soldiers of throwing up rifle pits on their own hook, some- times being reduced to digging with their can- teens. Gen. Skobeleff of the Russian army was the first European military man to see the reason inthis plan and he adapted it to his campaigns during the Kusso-Turkish war with remurkable success, THE ARMY OF THE CUMBERLAND, Returning to the subject of the battles of Chickamauga and Chattanooga, Maj. Davis paid « high tribute to the valor and the char- acter of the men who composed the Army of the Cumberland, commanded by Gen. Thomas, In his correspondence with the survivors of the battle in which this body took part, he says he was surprised at the uniformly high standing in business and in social rank of the survivors, He noted the fact that there is scarcely a business house or an office or any other well-founded establishment in the north that has not among its leading lights a veteran of the Army of the Cumberland. TREATY WITH GREAT BRITAIN. The New Extradition Treaty Now Be- fore the Senate. The text of the pending extradition treaty with Great Britain, together with the letter of the Secretary of State submitting the treaty to the President and the letter of the President transmitting the treaty to the Senate has been made public. The treaty it- self differs from the one negotiated by Secre- tary Bayard, in that it does not contemplate the surrender of what are called “political criminals,” and also in that it adds a large list of crimes to the ones which, under the treaty of Ashburton, are declared to be “extradit- able.” Following are the additional crimes for which extradition is agreed upon: 1, Man- slaughter. 2 Counterfeiting or altering money; uttering or bringing into circulation counterfeit or altered money, 3. Embezzle- ment, larceny, obtaining money, goods or val- uable securities by false pretenses; receiving any money, valuable security or other prop- erty, knowing the same to have been embez- zled, stolen or fraudulently obtained. 4. Fraud by « bailee, banker, agent, factor, trus- tee or director or member or officer of an: company, made criminal by the laws of both countries. 5, Perjury or subornation of per- jury. 6. Rape, abduction, child stealing, kid- naping. 7. Burglary, housebreaking or shop- breaking. §. Piracy, by the laws of nations, 9. Revolt or conspiracy to revolt by two or more persons on board a ship on the high seas, against the authority of the master: wrongfully sinking or destroying @ vessel at #ea or attempting to do so; assaults on board a ship on the high seas, with intent to do grevious bodily harm.’ 10. Crimes and of- fenses against the laws of both countries for the suppression of slavery and slave trading. Extradition is also to take place for ‘ticipa- tion in any of the crimes mentioned in this convention or in the aforesaid tenth article; provided such participation be punishable by the laws of both countries. The second article of the new treaty provides that “‘a fugitive criminal shall not be surrend- ered if the offense in respect of which his sur- render is demanded be one of a political char- acter; or if he proves that the requisition for his surrender has, in fact, been made with a view to try to punish him’for an offense of a political character. No person surrendered by either of the high contracting parties to the other shall be triable or tried, or be punished, for any political crime or offense, or for any act connected therewith, committed previously to his extradition. If any question shall arise as to whether any case comes within the provi- sions of this article, the decision of the authori- ties of the government in whose jurisdiction the fugitive shall be at the time shall be final.” ‘The third article provides that no “person sur- rendered by. or to, either of the high contract- ing parties shall be triable for any crime or of- fense committed prior to his extradition, other than the offense for which he was extradited, and until he shall have had an opportunity of returning to the country from which he was surrendered.” oo—___ Gamblers Supporting Schools. A letier from Silver City, N. M., to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: w Mexico is one of the portions of the United States where vices are, in a measure, legalized, and where the revenues derived therefrom are put to good use. It can be said that gamblers and sporting people are educating the youth of this territory. Every ing table or device in New Mexico is taxed $40 per annum for the support of free public schools in the county where the license is issued, and this revenue alone in some of the counties goes a long way toward maintaining the schools, which in some of the larger towns would do credit to towns of a like number of inhabitants in any of the states. 4 ———+o2+___ A Monument to Eads, A movement is on foot in St. Louis to erect a monument that will commemorate in some fit- tang method the debt of obligation under which the Mississippi valley lies to the late Jas, B.Eads. The movement has the hearty indorsement of Sor ee ens soon, and a host of the GOING AROUND THE WORLD. The Circumnavigetor Gains or Loses a Date Instead of a Day. From the New York Tribune. A fair lady writes: ‘(Can't you explain about gaining and losing a day when you go around the world? Jules Verne muddled me all up, and every one that tries to explain it makes my head go around, too.” Certainly, ma’am, only you must fix your mind onone thing ata time and not let it go a wandering like the lit- tle pig that wouldn't stand still long enough to be counted. Well, then, there is no day lost or gained, What you will lose or gain if you go around the world (besides some pleasant com- pany—wherefore, don’t) is a date, nota day. In traveling westward each date, commonly called a day, hides the factthat for each de- gree of longitude passed over you have added four minutes to the twenty-four hours, Atnoon, when by custom you change your date, you find you have traversed fifteen de- ees, then your “day” has contained twenty- ve hours instead of twenty-four. In going to the eastward the conditions would be reversed, and your date called a ‘-day” would contain but twenty-three hours. But if you and your friend should stand back to back at New York and startis at the same instant walk straight around the world, each walking exactly three miles an hour and never stopping for anything, you would both mect and pass half way in ex- actly 3,500 hours and you would again meet in New York in exactly 7,000 hours. State the time in hours and you will grasp it immedi- ately.” ——_—____+e+_____ HE WAS SENT AFTER SIR JOHN. Death of Capt. Kennedy, Who Com- muanded the Franklin Search Party. Capt. Wm. Kennedy died at his home in St. Andrews, Manitoba, Saturday, aged seventy- eight years. Forty years ago Capt. Kennedy was an object of finterest of both America and Europe, he having been selected to take com- mand of the expedition fitted out by Lady Franklin to go in search of her husband, Sir John Franklin, in the Arctic sea. He was nominated by the Hudson bay company as the most competent person to command the expe- dition, The captain was at that time living in Bruce county, Ont., and on receiving his com- mission he proceeded at once to Scotland and sailed from Aberdeen inthe ship Prince Al- bert in June, 1851, for the great North sea, The expedition reached Edwin bay, on the western shore of Prince Regent, inlet in the fall and there spent the winter of 1851 and ‘52. From that point many important discoveries were made, among others the most northerly point of the American continent and that a strait separated North Somerset from Boothia Felix, which was named Bellot strait, after Lieut, Bellot, second in command. The knowl- edge of Bellot strait thus acquired enabled Sir Leopold McClintock afterward to advance, and he made the successful journeys in which he discovered the first and only absolute proof of the loss of Sir John Franklin’s expedition. When he returned from his two years’ voyage chance threw him in the way of a highly culti- vated English lady,a relative of Sir John Franklin, whom he subsequently married, and who still survives him. He has been in re- duced circumstances and has lived at St. An- drews since 1858, employed in store keeping, farming and missionary work. ee MR. CHAMBERLAIN AT CAIRO. He Personally Examines England’s In- terests in Egypt. Reaz Pasha entertaind Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Chamberlain at a semi-official banquet Satur- day night at Cairo, covers for thirty-eight be- ing laid. The guests included Sir E. Baring and other leaders among English officials with their wives and all the Egyptian ministers, Since his arrival, though his visit is quite pri- vate, Mr. Chamberlain has studied most care- fully the British position and gone into every question, He interviewed officials, personally inspected the barracks and other works and the irrigation department under Scott Mon- erieff. He has seen the Egyptian troops and conferred constantly with Baring. He will therefore go away recognizing fully the marked improvements which wot be of greater ex- tension if France withdrew her policy, which does not allow England to carry out further re- forms, A Baby Tied to a Cow’s Tail. A borrible crime was committed near Paris yestefday, A girl of ten years was walking in the fields with her little sister, aged two. The baby grew fretful and the elder girl lost pa- tience with it and tied the poor thing to the tail of « cow that was grazing in the pasture; then she hustled the animal into agallop. The tiny victim uttered piercing shricks, which grew fainter as the cow galloped madly on. ‘The girl went quietly home and related her adven- ture gleefully. ‘Several hours afterward the cow was found miles away with a shapeless mass of human flesh dragging at her heel Mrs. Morris on Trial for Her Life, The Cora Morris trial at Wentworth Court House, N.C., is nearing an end. The case will go to the jury some time today and a verdict will likely be reached before night. Mrs. Mor- ris, the defendant, did not go on the witness stand and the defense introduced no testimony atall. No white woman has ever been con- victed of a capital crime in North Carolina and it is not reasonable to expect Mrs. Morris to be the first. sos A Baby Kangaroo Named Nellie Bly. Keeper Murray, who has charge of the deer house at the Philadelphia zoological gardens, discovered on Saturday that his interesting flock had been increased by the birth of a young bushtailed kangaroo, As the attendants were scrutinizing their latest arrival the New York express rolled by containing the Nellie Bly party, and it was thereupon unanimously agreed to call the little one Nellie Bly. pestdtvat iis One Canadian Printers to Strike. The printers employed in the Canadian gov- ernment printing bureau at Ottawa gave notice yesterday that auless their demand for an in- crease of 20 per cent in their wages was at once complied with they would go ona strike Wed- nesday, They held a meeting Saturday and decided to strike at once, but in view of the enormous quantity of parliamentary work that it is imperative should be pushed through they decided togive the government another chance. They number 150, are supported by the Inter- national typographical union, and are asking that their wages be increased from 311 to $13 per week, Jessie Dean Reynolds’ Funeral. Jessie Dean Reynolds, the actress who com- mitted suicide in a New York apartment house Friday, was buried yesterday in Hazlewood cemetery, in the suburbs of Rahway, N.J.. The direction left by the actress in a letter to her husband that she be buried with her son Robbie was carried out, and the coffins lie side by side in the burial plot, Owing to the circumstances of Mrs. Reynolds’ death her parents desired as private a funeral as possible, and only the im- mediate relatives were in attendance. Sn age a Mr. Riddleberger’s Funeral. The remains of ex-Senator Riddleberger were laid to rest Saturday afternoon in the little cemetery south of Edinburgh, near Woodstock, Va. The Episcopal burial services were per- formed in the Baptist church. The afternoon train brought harp of immortelles five feet high, bearing the inscription “At rest” in vio- lets at the base, To it were attached streamers of orange and white, the Irish tri-color, an the” inscription ‘Poor Erin mourns her faithful friend and fearless advocate.” It was sent by members of ghe Clan-na-Gael in Phila- delphia, There were other floral tributes.

MULVEY, Principal. 3016-120" the Philadelphia gas works. The body was first seen under the bridge of the Pennsylvania railroad company, which crosses the river at Filbert street and it had apparently just risen to the surface, It was soon taken on board the Police tug and a search of the clothing made, which settled beyond all doubt the question of identity. The diamond ring and gold watch worn by Mr. Ditman when alive were found, the watch having stopped at 11:46. A small amount of money was found in the pockets, and in a wallet in an inside pocket of the coat, besides some papers, was a card requesting the finder, in case of accidental death, to notif; James Pitcher. secretary of the Mutual acci- dent association, 320 Broadway, New York. The card indicated that deceased was insured in that association for $5,000, The body was, by direction of the family, taken to an under- taker’s, and as soon as an autopsy is held the funeral services will take place. On the afternoon of December 11 Banker Ditman, as was his custom, started out from his home fora drive in Fairmount Park. About dusk a park guard found his horse and buggy in the park, the vehicle being ompty.. The reins were broken uear the animal’s head, and the first impression was that there had been a runaway and that the banker was thrown from his buggy. There were marks of carriage wheels on the banks of the Schuylkill, and it was thought Mr. Ditman had been thrown from his carriage into the water. The dragging of the bottom of the river was then commenced and kept up for several weeks, a large number of men being employed in this work. Dyna- mite was also used in large quantities. But all efforts to bring the body to the surface proved unavailing, and the search was finally adan- doned, though the family adhered to the idea that the missing man's body was at the bottom of the river. When found today there were no marks of violence discernible on the body, and whether it is acase of accident or suicide will probably never be known. At the time of his disappearance Mr. Ditman was president of the Quaker City National bank, a newly organized concern, le was also a large share holder of the W. F, Shaw music publish- ing company. VALLEY FORGE TO BE SOLD. The Historical Camp Ground Cut Up Into Building Lots. The historic revolutionary camp ground of Valley Forge, six miles west of Norristown, Pa.. will soon be sold by the present owners in the shape of building lots. The tract comprises the entire site occupied by Gen. George Wash- ington and the continental army during the winter of 1777-8. In that camp, as every well- informed American schoolboy knows, was passed the gloomiest and saddest period of the war for independence, There the patriot army, ragged, half-starved, disheartened, without shoes or blankets, or proper clothing, slept at night during the whole dreadful winter on the bare earth, and in the daytime, while provid- ing firewood for their rude, comfortless buts, left foot tracks of blood on the frozen ground, hallowing the very soil by the severity and heroism of their sufferings. The old stone man- sion occupied as headquarters by Washington and his personal staff tronts the station of the Philadelphia and Reading railroad. South- ward, ata distance of a quarter of a mile, is the spot where Washington's original head- quarters stood, the building, now removed, oc- eupied by him early in December, 177% The remains of the old entrenchments and breast- works are still easily distinguishable by the irregular and scattered heaps of stones and the uneven elevations of the green sward, THE EVENING STAR: WASHINGTON, D.C., MONDAY, JANUARY 27, 1890. —__ EDUCATIONAL.

A French Physician Says It is Only a Frisky Pneumonia Animal. A cable dispatch from Paris to the New York Herald anys that a correspondent interviewed Dr. Germain See yesterday on the subject of the influenza microbe discovered, or said to be discovered, by two Vienna doctors, “Do you not admit ‘then, sir, that Dr. Jolles made any discovery at all?” “Made a discovery?” echoed the doctor, “they have discovered a microbe that was dis- covered seven years ago; that is what they have discovered and that is all.” “But do you ciaim to have found the in- fluenza microbe?” “Not a bit of it, There is no such thing as an influenza microbe; that is where the Vienna doctors made themselves ridicnlous, The microbe they are making such a fuss about is simply the pneumonia microbe de- veloped to an extraordinary extent by in- nza. “What caused the great number of deaths in the recent epidemic? Not influenza, but neumonia, which seemed to grow out of in- luenza, The grip, while it has no microbe of its own, has a singular and unexplained property of preparing the way for a splendid crop of pneumonia microbes, “I discovered the pneumonia microbe myself, or rather it was discovered by my chef de labor- atoire, Dr, Talamon. This was as far back as November 30, 1883, when the results of our ex- periments were communicated to the Anatom- ical society of Paris, It is true Dr, Friedlander made a similar communication to the Berlin medical society on November 19, 1883, a few days before our announcement; but’ Fried- lander’s supposed pneumonia microbe has since proved to be the microbe of something else; in fact it has almost disappeared, while ours is admitted by the scientific world to be the real, unmistakable bacillus of pneumonia,” “Then you infer that your microbe and Friedlander's microbe are entirely different and distinct? How about a hooded microbe?” “Precisely. Isee you are now beginning to understand the subject. Friedlander’s microbe, you must know, was described by him as hav- ing a sort of hood attachment, asif it were done up in a capsule: and he himself has said that he regards the hood or capsule as an es- sential characteristic of the microbe. Our mi- crobe, on the contrary, has no hood or capsule at all, but is long and shaped much like a grain of wheat,” see -—___ Beautifying Unter den Linden.

Indeed, the opinion is hazarded that it is without an equal in this respect any where in the world. These aver- ments are borne out by the figures given below, which are compiled from the sworn weekly statements printed in the paper on each Monday in the year, and condensed from the sworn tabular statements showing the aver- age daily circulation of the paper during the Year 1889, published in Tux Star on the 18th of January, 1890, Briefly stated, the points upon which the above claim is based are these: 1. The Star has three times the circus faction ef any other paper in Washing= ton! 2 The Star's circulation in Washing= ton is double that of all the other dally Papers published in the city added to= gether!! 3. The Star bas a larger and fuller circulation in the clty where printed, in proportion to reading and purchases ing population, than any other news: paper in the world!!! 4, The Star has the Jargest regular and permanent home circulation et any twe-cent afternoon paper im the United States 111! In support of these claims and to show the constantly increasing circulation of the paper, attention is invited to the figures following: DAILY CIRCULATION IN 18K>-80-87-88-88, ISS3, ISS6, L887.

Of this number, 21,142 were delivered daily by regular carriers at the homes of permanent sub- seribers, The remaining 6,740 copies represent the saleg over the office counter, at the news stands, and by newsboys. But of this latter number a very large proportion is supplied regularly to per= manent residents of the city living in lodgings, &c, (not householders), so that its whole cireula- tion may be literally said to be in the family circle, While its aggregate circulation there- fore gives Tue Star a distinctive and enviable position in modern journalism, the fullness off its home circulation, the extent to which it is relied upon by members of the household, and particularly by the pure chasing portion of the community, are the marked characteristics of the paper, to which no other daily journal now published can furnish a parallel. This is no idle boast on the part of the paper, It is a well established fact, demonstrated to the full satisfaction of the sagacious and enter- prising business men of Washington, who seek and know where to find THE LARGEST RETURNS FROM THE MONEY PAID OUT FOR ADVERTISING. This is proven by the growth of Tue Sran’s advertising patronage, Nothing can more surely illustrate the esteem in which any article is held by the public than a constantly increasing demand for it—day by day, week by week, month by month, and year by year,—in the face of ad- verse claims and pretentious competition. The figures following tell the story on this point: NUMBER OF NEW ADVERTISEMENTS PRINTED am 1885-8U-87-88-89, 1886. ISS7.

And this, it must in the way of tax sales, poll lists, election returns, ete., such as occasionally swell the business of political organs, being included im its patrome age. In conclusion, it is only necessary to say that, in proportion to the extent and high charactey of its circulation, Tae Stan's advertising rates take rank with the very lowest in the country, and to add, finally, that every statement herein,
