ITROM A STAIT COBKISPONDISI.l
Washij? gton, Jan. 10. A few days ago
,-a resolution was introduced in the House
tasking the regents of the Smithsonian Insti
tution to furnish a detailed statement of ex
penditures for the construction of the new
xoological park. This excited a good
deal of curiosity, on account of the
eminent gentlemen, one of whom
is Prof. Samuel P. Langley, the
secretary, late of the Allegheny Observatory,
-who has charge of the expenditures of the
appropriation. A gentleman who has had
ample opportunity to know of what he is
talking about, says that while Prof. Lang
ley may know a lot about the sun, he knows
nothing about xoological gardens, and that
a big appropriation has been almost frittered
mway and almost nothing accomplished.
In ed of Shelter.
He declares that the building and fences
have been constructed out of the appropria
tion, which were entirely unauthorized; that
it was promised the new grounds should be
ready for the animals before this winter,
md sot a pen has been built. The animals
'are now kept under the eaves of the Smith
sonian building in pens, which are knee
deep with mud, and some rare animals,
among them a Rocky Mountain sheep, have
died on account of the condition in which
they were kept.
In concluding a long story of the manage
ment of the project up to the present time,
the gentleman concluded by saying: "In--etead
of devoting the 168 acres of the zoo
logical park to the uses for which it was in
tended, and carrying out the professions and
promises made to Congress and the public,
they have set aside 38 acres only to be oc
cupied by animals and the public. The rest
is reserved, 10 acres tor an "astro-physical
observatory," and 14 acres or more for the
private grounds of the park administration.
"The land thus sequestrated cost 551,000
of the people's money, half of which was
paid by the District of Columbia. Positive
refusal has been made to allow the buffalo,
elk, deer, etc, to be quartered on the Holt
property, the finest place in the park for
them.
Poor Accommodations for Buffaloes.
Instead, the buffaloes and other rutn'nants
ere to be located on the opposite ridge, on a
clay soil, where there are no large shade
trees and no trees save miserable 'lob-lolly'
or old field pines, which give no shade what
ever. This is the poorest place in the park
for the buffaloes. Instead of having,
as Congress and the public were informed we
would have, the finest zoo in the world,
where all the animals would have from four
to ten times the space such animals have in
other zoological gardens, only 38 acres have
been set aside for the animals, thus giving
them no more space than they have in the
Philadelphia, Cincinnati, London and other
zoological gardens.
The rest of the land is reserved for private
grounds, from which both the public and
other animals are to be excluded, and yet
they demand eight acres more of land for
the park. "With a 168-acre park provided
by Congress, the animals are to be restricted
to 38 acres in the poorest part of it, and the
accommodations provided for them by law
are to be taken for an astronomer and a
human anatomist." Lightneb.

"Washington, Jan. 10. Thousands of
ersons, who have within the last few days
had a great treat in a view of a number of
rare pictures at the Corcoran gallery, were
not aware that their pleasure was the result
of the disastrous fire in the Blaine mansion
on New Year's Day, as the presence of the
pictures at the gallery has not been men
tioned in the papers. The small but highly
interesting collection was saved from the fire
which burned much of the belongings of the
Xeiter family, and with no damage but
'slight abrasion of some of the frames.
There are portraits of Mrs. and Miss
Leker bv A Iexander Cabancl, which created
quite a furore in the Paris salon; a portrait
of Mr. Leiter by Bonnot; a bit of gorgeous
color in a Bedouin chieftain by Bonnot,
"The Knitting Lesson," by the great.
Millet, and on a canva;of unusuallv large
size for that artist; a very mellow and pleas
ing landscape by Diaz; a'luxurious Oriental
Mgure piece by Cabanel; a vidette on horse
back in winter by Detaille, and beautiful
landscapes by Bonsseau, Dupre, Jettel, the
Dutch artist, and George Inness, the Amer
ican, and a figure piece by Gallait. "While
the collection is small, its loss by fire
would have been a matter for universal re
gret. BETTER RESENTS THE CEKSTOE.

"Washington, Jan. 10. Toe following
letter has been addressed to the Secretary of
the Navy by Commander Eeiter, IT. S. N.,
who was severely censured by the Secretary
for his conduct in the Barrundia affair:
. Pittsbueg. Jan. &
Sin I nave to alcnowledge the receipt of tbe
Department's letter or December 81, 1890. The
'letter was mailed in Washington on the 6tU
day of January and was received by me on tbe
7th It was foreshadowed by the press of the
United States on January 1 and 2, and an
extract from it, containing tbe most severe
censure of the Department, appears in the
press of the country to-dav. Tue letter then
became to the ceneral public unfamiliar with
tbe facts of the case, a severe public repri
mand" to me, a punishment which can only be
lecallv inflicted by a sentence of a naval gen
eral court-martial.
I was detached from the command of the
Banger by tbe Department order of tbe 28th of
September, 1890, and the letter is the first
written statement of the Department's grounds
of action, tj.tn.cls from it havloc been given to
the press for publication before I could possibly
rrply to it, I now content myself by simply
declaring that when in command of the Ranker
on the occasion in Question, I was in nowav
culpable, bnt discharged my whole dnty; that 1
had no desire, nor did I endeavor to escape
any; responsibility attaching to my position
and I do not fear the most searching Inquiry
ln;regard to my action.
As I regard your letter as unjust, undeserved
and unwarranted, I have to respectfully de
mand what fs clearly mv richt. namely, a trial
before a Naval Court. BeSDectfully,

"Washington, Jan. 10. This afternoon
the members of the Supreme Court and their
families and a few personal friends assem.
hied at the Church of the Covtijynt, upon
the invitation of Mrs. StanleylMatthews,
to have the first view of the stained glass
window which she has just erected to the
(memory of ttje late Associate Justice. Mrs.
Matthews chose the large west window on
Connecticut avenne, which affords a rare op
portunity for the artist in glass. The design
and workmanship are worthy of the space,
the church and the eminent man commemo
rated. Justice Matthews was one of the charter
members of the Church of the Covenant,
and served on its Board of Trustees until
his death. During his long and painful
illness one of his chief diversions and pleas

home opposite the erection of tbe noble

A GREAT ENTERPRISE
TEAT THE GOVERNMENT IS ASKED TO
BE THE SPONSOR OF.
Favorable Iteport on the Nicaragua Canal
Scheme The Cost of the Project Placed
at SIOO.000,000 It "Will Take Six Tears
to Complete It.
"Washington, Jan. 10. The report of
the Committee on foreign Belations on the
Nicaragua Canal bill, presented by Mr.
Sherman this morning, recites the import
ance or the canal project; treats in detail of
the history of past negotiations on the sub
ject, and maintains that the proceeding of
Great Britain at Bclize.on the Mosquito coast,
discharged tbe United States from its engage
ment with Great Britain in 1850 to refrain
from exercising control over any part of
Central America. The report says that the
work of the private corporation on the canal
has advanced with great rapidity; that the
total cost of the project will be but one-third
more than the "Wetland canal, and that it
will be completed within rix years. The
full cost of the work is set down at $100,
000,000. The committee feels that to secure this
amount of money the company will be
obliged to sell bonds at a large discount.
Consequently, it will be necessary to impose
heavy tolls on tbe coast line. This burden
would be largely borne by the American
people; therefore the committee believes
that it would be the part of economy, aside
from'the considerations of national policy,
for the "United States to guarantee the bonds
of tbe company to the amount of $100,000,
000, so that they may be sold at par.
In its present form the bill meets tbe ob
jections raised by President Cleveland to
the treaty negotiated in 18S4, as it does not
commit the United States to the defense of
tbe territorial integrity of the Central
American States. In conclusion the report,
which is nnanimous, says;
"It is believed by your committee that
the United States will not be called upon to
pay any portion of the principle or interest
of the bonds, but that the work itself will
amply repay all its cost and yield
its benefits, not only to the people of
Nicaragua and Costa Rica, but to
tbe civilized world. If it appears at
any time that the interests of tbe United
States are in jeopardy from any cause it
can purchase the majority of the stock and
become the controlling owner of the canal
by paying its own bonds to an equal
amount, and the property tolls, income and
profits of the canal will be an ample security
against the obligations it assumes."
FAVORING TREE COINAGE.
Senator Morgan Quotes the Late Senator
Beck in Support of It.
"Washington, Jan. 10. The Senate
to-day resumed consideration of the finance
bill, or the "anti-contraction bill," as Mr.
Sherman termed it, and Mr. Morgan con
tinued the speech begun by him yesterday
in support of the free coinage amendment.
He referred, with a high encomium, to a
speech made by the late Senator Beck in
support of a bill introduced by him on
March 13, 1888, the second section of which
provided that in all future issues of Treas
ury certificates, coin certificates should be
substituted for gold certificates, and for
silver certificates.
He (Mr. Morgan) considered that propo
sition a perfect solvent of the difficulty of
keeping gold and silver coin in perfect bal
ance in the United States, and had always
desired very much to see the day when it
would be adopted by Congress, and he ex
pected to offer a like amendment to the
pending bill.
CHAIRMAN CANDLER'S REPORT.
lie Recommends Rigid Economy In Con
ducting the World's Fair.
"Washington, Jan. 10. The sub-committee
of the House "World's Fair Com
mittee held a meeting this morning and Mr.
Candler laid before it the propositions he in
tended to embrace in tbe report of the oom
mitlee to the House. There was a general
discussion of these propositions and the com
mittee came practically to an understanding,
which will be presented to the full com
mittee Tuesday.
The report will reco'mmend in part that
no high salaries be paid to "World's Pair
employes, and that the number ol emploves
be curtailed as far as possible. It will,' it
is understood, dwell upon the advisability
of leaving the management of the fair in
the hands of the local committee with as
little interference as possible from the
National Commission, and will state that in
this respect there has been of late a general
improvement in the situation.

CHICAGO'S PUBLIC BUILDING.
Urging the Necessity of Replacing It "With a
'New One.
"Washington, Jan. 10. The House
Committee on Public Buildings and
Grounds granted a hearing to the Chicago
Representatives in the House ou the bill in
troduced by Mr. Thayer, of Illinois, appro
priating $4,000,000 for the erection of a new
public building on the site of the present
Government building.
Congressman Taylor, Lawler and Adams
were present, and explained to the commit
tee the menancing condition of the present
building, and the urgent necessity for the
proposed new building.
ladies' Hair.
It is really marvelous how an ordinary
head ol hair can be beautified by a skillful
artist hair dresser. First and foremost the
Common every day shades are changed into
a rich light or dark auburn, then the hair
on the sides is waved, next the bang is curled
and fluffed out like the feather and the back
coiffure which consists of gracefully inter
wined coils finishes the whole, and all this
is done in less than no time. Pittsburg can
now boast ot the finest and most elegant
ladies' hair dressing establishment where the
most skillful artists from Paris and New
York manipulate the hair. The shampooing
is the most luxurious affair and can be en
joyed ai a trifling expense. Ladies would
do well to inspect this magnificent establish
ment at Nos. 64, 6, 68 Sixth street, under
the management of Goldberg's.

FLIIKG FROM AN AwFDL BONDAGE
.-SPECIAL TELEGBAH TO THE DISPATC1M
Birmingham, Ala., Jan, 10. Frank
Landers and his family, consisting of a wife
and two daughters, returned to their old
home in Clay connty, Ala., a few days ago,
after a three years) residence in Utah and
Arizona. They went there as Mormon
converts, but returned about as completely
reformed as it is possible for them to be.
Seven years ago Mormon elders first ap
peared in Clay county, and since then they
have made hundreds of converts in that lo
cality, most of whom have been sent to
Utah and Arizona. Three years ago a
party of 100 converts, in charge of five
elders, left there for Ogden, Utah. Land
ers and his family were in this party. All
these converts were poor and ignorant coun
try people who were compelled to sell every
thing they possessed in order to raise money
enough to pay their way to the land of tbe
Mormons. Most of them had only a few
dollars left after buying their tickets, but
the wily elders told them to fear not, as the
"church'" would take care of them as soon
as they reached their destination.
Fair Promises by the Elders.
Temporal, rather than spiritual argu
ments, had induced most of these people to
become converts to Mormonism. The elders
had told them wonderful stories of the fer
tile soil of tbe far West and how they could
make abundant crops with less than half
the labor required to earn a scant living
among their native bills.
They were told that nolvgamy was no
longetpracticed, and, believing the seduc
tive tales about a land flowing with milk
and honey, they became easy converts aud in
time started on the long journev to the far
West
Landers says: "On our way "West we were
joined at Memphis by a second party of
converts, aud at Kansas City by a third
party. A number of elders accompanied
each party and looked after their transpor
tation, many of the converts being ignorant
of their ultimate destination. Arrived at
Ogden, our party, which then numbered sev
eral hundred people, was divided into small
parties, numbering only a few families each,
and we separated, some going to Arizona,
others to Idaho, and still others being sent
to various parts of Utah Territory.
His Troubles Begin in Earnest.
'I was furnished transportlon by wagon
to a Mormon settlement two days' journey
from Ogden, and then my troubles began in
earnest. I was located in a cabin, hardly
fit for a cow house, on tbe farm of a Mormon
elder, and told that I would be furnished
supplies and enabled to make a crop the
first year, aud that after that I could secure
a homestead ou Government laud and go to
work for myself.
It was explained to me that the man on
whose farm I had been located would fur
nish me everything I might need and I
would cultivate a portion of his land. I
was also informed that my crop, when made,
would be divided into five parts. One-hfth
was to be given to the church, three-fifths to
the elder who owned the land, while I would
receive tbe other fifth for my labor. X was
told that this was considered by the church
as a very liberal arrangement for me. I,
of course, had to accept it I could do noth
ing else, as I had no money. I carried with
me some cooking ntensils'and bedding, and
for several months we had no other furni
ture in our miserable-v-bin.
A Miserable Existence.
"My appeals to mv landlord for furniture
were ignored. The food furnished us was of
poor quality and often insufficient in quan
tity, "What work I could do outside of,
preparing for my crop went to pay for food,
and I was given no opportunity to earn any
money.
"I had not been long in Utah before
I learned that I had been de
ceived abont polygamy, The elders
soon made me understand that I would be
expected to take another wife. At first they
only advised me, but it was not long until I
was given to understand that I would be
made to suffer for it in various ways if I per
sisted in my refusal. The elders even went
so far as to talk to my wife about the matter
when I was not present
"Finally one of the elders arranged a
meetinir with a newly arrived convert, a
woman from "Wales, repulsive in appearauce,
and I was plainly told that I would be ex
pected to make this woman wife No. 2.
Then, as it was impossible to longer dodge
the issue, I positively refused to obey, and
told them that while I had become a willing
convert to their church, it was with a posi
tive understanding that polygamy was not
now practiced.
His Daughter Sealed to an Elder,
"They did not resort to force to make me
obey their order, as I expected they would,
but I cannot describe the -many little
indignities aud annoyances I suffered after
that.
"One day an elder came to me and in
formed me that my two daughters, then aged
9 aud 11 years, had been sealed by the
church to the elder on whose farm I was
then living, and would become wives Nos.
7 and 8 to him, as soon as they were old
enough. By that time I was getting pretty
sick of Mormonism, and I resolved to Save
my children from a fate worse than death,
at any cost.
"When my first crop was gathered and
divided, it took all of my fifth interest in it
to pay my landlord and elder for the meager
supplies he had advanced me during the
year,, and I was again penniless, with no
prospect of ever improving my condition
while I remained in Mormondom. When I
first told the elders I was going to move
they said I should not leave, but when they
learned I was only going to another Mormon
settlement, they allowed me to depart with
out molestation.
His Lot Slightly Alleviated.
"In Arizonial fared a little better, owing
io the inflnence'ef a relative there, who bad
married a second wife and thereby risen to
a position of some influence in the church.
Before I left there he had taken a third
wife and had been made an elder. I re
mained there two years, aud by living almost
like brutes we managed to save money
enough to pay our way back to Alabama,
and renouncing Mormonism fotever, we left
the Territory.
"The elders were determined we should
not leave, and it was only by keeping the
time ot our intended departure secret that
we were able to get safely out of the country.
Soon after moving to Arizona, I learned
that the elder to whom my two girls had
been sealed by the church had not lost sight
of us and had no idea of giving up his in
tended victims withont an effort He had
an agent follow ns and report to all the
elders in the vicinity of our new home -that
the girls belonged to him.
Mormon Promises Never, Fulfilled.
"During my three yearsi residence among
tne Mormons I learned that the promises
made by the elders who go forth to make
converts are never fulfilled. I know that
many people are induced to join their
church by the stories of the good homes
awaiting them in tbe West, and those stories
are false in every particular. All unmar
ried women among the converts must enter
into polygamous marriages, or be subjected
to all sorts of insults and indignities.
Men who refuse to take more than one wife
soon find themselves in a condition little
better than slavery. And the horror of it
all is, that their persecutions are carried on
so secretly."

We're making a clean sweep of what's left of our stock
of Boys' Suits and Overcoats. Profits have been snowed
under! Prices have ceased to be an object now ! Our
sole aim is to sell the goods sell them all and quickly.
Nothing will be carried over. Space in our store is too
valuable, and capital tied up in merchandise is not in ac
cordance with the modern ideas of the present age.
Much better to sell at a loss and invest the money in'
goods that'll bring profits. Hence these big reductions.
Bqys' Suits and Overcoats at $3, worth $5.
Boys' Suits and Overcoats at $4, worth $6.
Boys' -Suits and Overcoats at $5, worth $8.
Boys' Suits and Overcoats at $6, worth $10.
Boys' Suits and Overcoats at $8, worth $12.-
The most fashionable and desirable Suits and Overcoats
are included in this offering. And, mark you. the season
is by no means over yet There's plenty of cold weather
ahead, making an Overcoat a most requisite garment.
Our Great Men's Pants Sacrifice Sale!
Is another big drawing card. Hundreds of pairs are
being run out every day at from one-third to one-half less
than actual value. And there isn't an old pair in our
stock. You see none but stylish patterns. Don't miss
this opportunity.
