Operations Were Begun Before Miss Carroll Suggested Them. A resolution introduced the other day in Congress inquiring of the War Depart- ment for information relative to the author- | ship of the plan of campaign in 1861-2 on the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers opens up an interesting bit of American history, and forms a curious echo to the news of the recent death in this city of Anna Ella Carroll of Maryland. Miss Carroll has for many years had pending before Congress a claim for mater rey the plan of this great campaign, which, a severtod, originated with her. The claim, however, has not been undisputed, and now comes forward Captain John A. Duble of th‘s city, who, while making no particular contention in his own behalf, contradicts Miss Carroll’s declaration that to her belonged the credit for suggesting the strategic movements in Tennessee. Capt. Duble sid to a reporter: “I have been struck by the references made to the Tennessee river campaign, ard the statement that Miss Carroll had claimed the authorship of the so-called Tennessee river campaign, and had sub- mitted the same November 30, 1861, to Colonel Thomas A. Scott, the then assistant Secretary of War, which the government afte-ward accepted, and which resulted in the capture of Forts Henry and Donelson, and the ultimate success of the Union army. As to whether or not Miss Carroll did submit her plans for the Tennessee river campaign to Assistant Secretary of War Scott, I have nothing to say. What | L object to to is the allegation that to her is due the credit for a strategic movement which had not occurred to the naval and military leaders, while as yet the war had waged many weary months, and hundreds and thousands of men had forsaken home for the fray. It is inferred from this that at the time no one connected with either branch of the United States service on the western waters knew anything of the strategic value of the Tennessee and Cum- berland rivers until Miss Carroll got her information in St. Louis from a Mr. Scott, a Tennessee river pilot, that the Tennessee river was navigable for gunboats as high as Mussel shoals, Ala., and the Cumber- land as far as Nashville, and in con- sequence formulated the Tennessee river campaign, with its vast results, and for which she claimed as compensation from Congress the sum of $250,000. “With all due respect to Miss Carroll and her indorsers, I am compelled, for the truthfulness of history, to state that Miss Carroll was mistaken, and that she had nothing at all to do with the planning of the Tennessee river campaign. I was first maste> and executive officer of the gun- boat Conestoga from June, 1861, up to the opening of commerce on the western waters, and was engaged on the Mississippi, Tennessee and Cumberland rivers in all naval engagements on those waters, es- pecially engaged with the gunboat Cones- toga in the capture of Fort Henry, on the Tennessee river, and Fort Donelson, on the Cumberland river. September 5, 1861,months before Miss Carroll is said to have con- ceived her plan, we received orders while at Cairo, IIL, to get the gunboat Conestoga ready, without a moment's delay, to start on an expedition in company with the gun- boat Tyler, under special orders of General Grant. The same afternoon we started as convoys to military transports for Paducah, Ky., at the mouth of the Ten- nessee river. We arrived there early next morning, just a few hours in advance of the confederates, and seized the town and the mouth of the Tennessee river, and from that day on we commenced to utilize the Tennessee river for strategic movements. Reconnoissances were constantly made on the Tennessee and Cumberland rivers dur- ing the months of Septembe>, October and November, not a week passing during those months that we had not been, with the gunboat Conestoga, up the Tennessee river, and we all understood those re- connoissances were to be made until the commanding general was ready to attack | Fort Henry, on the Tennessee river, and Fort Donelson, on the Cumberland river. Thus it will be seen that the Tennessee and | Cumberland rivers were constantly utilized | by us for military purposes from September 6. 1861, down to the capture of the forts, and until the enemy were driven out of west Tennessee. This I can prove by the public records, which show that on one date, at least, October 14, 1861, I went with the Conestoga up the Tennessee river as far as Fort Henry. _—__ Army Orders.

ANOTHER COLONY PROJECTED TOPEKA, Kan., March 17, 1894. J. P. Pomeroy, a millionaire of Boston, has sailed from New York on a trip to southern Russia to organize and bring to Kansas a large colony of Catholic and Lutheran Mennonites. Pomeroy was a resi- dent of Kansas ten years, holding an official position in the central branch of the Union Pacific railroad, of which his father, the late R. M. Pomeroy of Boston, was the principal stockholder, While young Pomeroy was in the west, his father, at different times, pur- chased large tracts of land in Graham, Philips, Rooks and other counties in north- west Kansas. At his death he owned 30,000 acres, which reverted to young Pomeroy, then located at Atchison. The young man worked yp numerous schemes for selling his lands to the laniless in other states, but they all failed. Two years ago he went to Europe, his destination being southern Russia, for the purpose of organizing a large Russian colony for Kan- sas. Crops had failed there, and he found that he would have to wait. He did not be- | come discouraged, but returned to this coun- try with the determination of trying again. Recently Mr. Pomeroy sailed for Russia the cond time. He will remain there until he shall have arranged for the shipment of the largest colony of Russian Mennonites ever sent to the United States. Mr. Pomeroy curries to Russia an array of facts concerning the prosperity ef Men- nonites in western Kansas which will star- tle the tollers on the sterile plains of that country. A Mennonite Colony. In 1874 and ‘75 there was a great exodus of Mennonites from Russia to Kansas. These people were exiled from that country on account of their religion. Agents came im advance, and over 100,000 acres of land were purchased from the Atchison, To- peka and Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroad companies in Harvey, McPherson, Gove and Ellis counties. The swarms of Mennonites packed their household goods and came on to occupy the new home and begin life over In, One day 3 of these strange peopie were landed at New- ton. They wore coats made of sheepskin and over their heads were tied larse black *kerchiefs. They carried iron ‘teaketties in their hands, and, with such of the bej- ding and unique furniture 4 strap on their backs, they followed their trusted leader to the large wact of land purchased for them seven miles Cistant. It was not many days until « village of sod houses was built, and soon these were supplanted with stone. structures Sith queer hip roofs, double doors and adorned with green blinds. In each of these one- story houses was a curious oven, in which prairie grass and straw could be burued for fuel. During all the years of drouth, crop fail- ure and hot winds these people have never asked for aid or seed wheat. They have defied the elements and made a success of farming regardless of these disadvant: ges and are today the most industrious avd consequently the most successiul peopie that ever plowed e furrow of Kansas soil. The secret of it all is that they have no time to attend to anybody's business but their own, and, above all, they religiously abstain from taking any part in politics. They are plain and plodding, aid are each year piling up wealth in the arid region of the state where thousands of Americ: have failed and returned to their “wive: people” in the older states. Among the Mennonites. ‘There are about 11,000 Mennonites in Kan- sas. They prosper every year, and their homes are veritable storehouses of garden and field products. To step into them’ is almost equal to a visit to the lend of the Volga. Curious furniture, strange and peculiar garb, and habits that impress one that he is in another land and another age. | gressional el Surrounding the low and squatty houses are heavy stone walls and cld country fencing. Barns and farming implements are everywhere numerous, but the farming utensils are under shelter and bright as new, while the barns and bins are bursting with the wealth of the previous year's crops, in marked distinction to the Ameri- can neighbor, whose cribs are empty, and whose farm machinery !s sheltered by the broad canopy of heaven, while he is off at the county seat town discussing the “cir- culation percapitar” and the down-trodden condition of the toiling farmer. The Mennonites care nothiag for politics. They are never considered a factor in a county or state election. Their time is all spent in tilling their broad acres, raising stock, planting orchards and piling up wealth. The thrifty western politician, standing on the street corner explaining the contraction of the curreacy to a knot of Usteners, sees a half-dozen odd-looking wagons tolling up the ruad. They are load. ed with wheat, and solemn-faced Menoon- ites, who guide the trusty teams, pocket the payments and drive homewar1. Crators proclaim in the country school houses, and the rustling real estate agent plats addi- tions to the towns, but the Menucnites pay Ro attention to either. They are simply imitating -he little ant {and laying up treasures for the future. They have been selling wheat, and corn, and cattle, and hogs, until they have be- come the richest farmers, their number considered, that can be found anywhere within the boundary lines of Kansas. Do Not Feel Hard Times. Last year, when the complaints of hard times came from the dwellers on the plains, resulting in thousands of bushels of seed wheat being sent to American settlers, the Russians continued to thrive. While the natives were making daily trips to the rail- road stations for their little quota of seed wheat and provisions, the old-fashioned ve- | hicles from the Mennonite settlements would trafl in after them loaded with wheat that was shipped east by the carload. Of course, there is an important lesson in the success of these people. They have demonstrated by their works what industry and frugality can accomplish upon the bleak prairies. Still it is question- able if the American farmer could bring himself and his family to the grinding ccon- omy of the European peasant labor, which the Mennonites have transplanted in their settlements. Having observed the wonderful success of the Russian Mennonite farmers on the bar- ren plains of western Kansas, Mr. Pomeroy, the Boston millionaire, is determined to assist in solving the problem of irrigation by locating on his lands a class of people who apparently have baffled the clemcnts and transfor:ned the great American desert into a veritable garden. —_—— Favors Americ: Poliey, In the discussion of the navy estimates in the house of commons last evening Sir ii ————SSS—SS—S——___ ANT R THE NEW SOUTHERN LINE. low the B. and 0. Will Get to Ridge« way, N. C.. From Here. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va. March 21, 1804. The commercial interests of Richmond and Petersburg are very much interested in the question whether the incorporators of the Richmond and Manassas road really intend to exercise the privileges granted them by the genera] assembly. The burning question now is, will the Manassas line ever be bullt, or is ft, as ite opponents say, only a pocket charter affair, Passed in the interests of the Farmville and Powhatan Railroad Company,which pro- poses to make a deal with the Baltimore and Obio people? It has been claimed all along that if the charter were granted Baitimore and Qbio, the great rival of Pennsylvania road, which forms the necting link of the Richmond, burg and Potomac between Quantico Washington, would put up the money build the new line. Whether or not the Baltimore and: is backing this scheme, and is anxious assist in making a new southern through Richmond and Petersb: positively known, but it is belli majority of those on both sides in the new line. It is a that the Baltimore and Ohio will branch known as the Met Manessas; then build from Richmond.

Next Virginian Election Under the Aus tralian Ballot System. Special Correspondence of The Evening Star. RICHMOND, Va, March 21, 1894. The democratic managers and Jeaders are preparing already for a hot political contest next fall in the congressional campaign. It is well known that they will mot have @ walk-over in the fight to revarn democratie candidates to the House cf Representatives, In almost every district in the state oppo sftion is being developed to the democratic | candidates, besides the family fights for the democratic nominations. The populist = j mabasers are very active, and xay that they rill have candidates ‘m all ef the ten come gressional districts. It is idle to say that the populists will not have 2 strong following, especially in the rural districts, The populist managers have | claimed all along that if they could secure free ballot and a fair count, they would have no trouble in defeating some of the democratic nominees for Congress. Now they have the Australian ballot system, | Which goes into effect im time for the con- tion. It is a watter of wide speculation 2s to what effect this law will have upon the result of the election, and to what extent it will ald the populists in their fight against the democracy. Probably the | most epigrammatic explanation of the new election law was given a few days ago by a prominent democrat in this state. “The said he, referriag to the tions under the Anderson-McCormack P } law, “is too expensive and cannot borne by the party. What is weeded ana | What we must have is one which will mini- mize the cost of campaigns.” In reference to the “special constable.” | and the language of the new act, which de es that that official “may” prepare the | ballots for the literate, some of the highest authorities in the state claim that the courts: will construe the meaning of the word “mey” to be “shall.” If this is so construed | by the court, it will mean a victory for she populist party, and there can be Mere | Opportunity left fur the gemoctatie enirg to cheat the illiterate should they be In dor do so.

It is almost the unanimous verdict that Col, | Hoge's usefulness in the democratic party had been almost entirely destroyed by his now famous transcontinental trip on his way to China, as consul to Amoy. All agree that his sudden change to republicanism is the result of pique and that it simply means one more vote added to the republican party, a, THE SOUTHERS STORM.
