Offictrs of State and Navy Depart ments Do Not Believe a Second In quiry Will Add More Light on Sub ject Project Would Cost About $500,000. So far as could bo ascertained the state department has had no inti mation from the Spanish government that it intends to request a new Inves tigation into the causes of the blow ing tip of the battleship Maine in the ivent of the wreck being raised. While ofllcers of the state department decline to discuss the attitude of the United States if such a request is in ado It is known that both the state and navy departments will probaly oppose a second formal investigation of the accident. Shortly after the Maine was blown up a naval court of inquiry made ft comprehensive study of the accident and decided that the Maine was de stroyed by an external explosion. Offi cers of the state and navy depart ments believe that the investigation was complete and convincing and Ihey don't think a Becond Inquiry will throw additional light on the subject. The actual work of raising the Maine, however, will probably not be begun until congress makes an addi tional appropriation for the purpose. In an olMclal communication to con gress several days ago, Brigadier Gen eral William L. Marshall, chief of en gineers of the army who is instructed by the bill providing for the raising of the Maine to supervise the work of raising the wreck, pointed out that an appropriation of $100,000 was Inade quate. General Marshall has estimated that It will cost at least $500,000 to remove the ruins of the battleship. He plans to construct coffer dams' around the wreck, ptimn out, remove the remains of the sailors still embedded in the hulk and examine the hull to see what would be necessary in the way of patching to make It float. The court of Inquiry Into the blow ing up of the Maine held that the ship was destroyed by the explosion of a submarine mine which caused the par tial explosion of two or more of her forward magazines. The officers and men of her crew were absolved from any responsibility. Tho court added that there was no evidence obtainable for fixing the responsibility for the destruction of the Maine upon any person. KING EDWARD BURIED Last Resting Place at Windsor, Near , Father and Mother. With bowed head and solemn conn- enance all Enrand watchca on rn- day the taking of the body of its deceased sovereign to its last rest ing place at Windsor. Edward VII. rests now near his mother, Queen Victor's, and his father who died two fccore years ago. The ceremonious mournful pageant, that marked the conveyance of the royal remains, was unrurpassed In recent history, rivaling and in some respects surpassing that which saw the laying away nine years ago of the body of the great queen. From Westminster hall, where the body of the sovereign had lain in state ,hree dayB to paddington station and through the pleasant Middlesex mi.ntKtr in.

It is a day of olliclal mourning, to be sure, formally ordered by the dignitaries of the realm, bi't it Is also a day of genuine, litartfelt sorrow among the populace, In that respect It resembles noro the February day nine years ago when the last scene in the long drama of the life of Victoria the good was acted than those earlier days, of unhappy memory for England, when the people rejoiced almost openly over the death of some particularly scapegrace royal tv. As Victoria was mourned, so is her son. The twenty miles from Lon don to Windsor seemed to give forth an almost audible sigh as the train conveying Edward's body moved slow ly to its destination The last touch of medlaevalism came rhen Sir Alfred Scott Scot t-Gatty, as Carter king of arni3 and therefore chief heraldic officer of Great Britain, under the earl marshal, announced In solemn ringing tones that the last earthly scene dealing with "his most excellent majesty Edward VII., by the grace of Cod of the United Kingdom of Great 1'ritaln and Ireland and of the British dominions beyond the seas king, de fender of the faith, emperor of India WORK MORE UNPOPULAR Ex-Mavor Bookwalter Says Schools Educate Away From Labor.

I hope to see established at Winona a depart ment of domestic science, where girls can be prepared to marry and be ablo to boll lard without burning it."

REDMOND ON LATE KING Deplores Check on Political Move ment Made by His End. John Redmond, the leader of the IrlFh parliamentary party, has broken his silence regarding the death of King Edward VII., which has I een so adversely criticised. Ad dressing a meeting In Cork city, he deplored the check that would be placed on political movements by the king's death. That event he said must be regarded by Irishmen in two respects, personal and constitutional. He thought everybody in Ireland was sorry that King Edward was dead, from a personal aspect, adding: "Ho never showed any hostility to Ireland an unusual thing In a British sov ereign, and the general feeling in Ire land was that he was a frank, manly and friendly sovereign."

HUMANITARIANS MAD rotest Against Roosevelts Pro miscuous Killing of Animals. Methods of the Hunter and Collector Mediaeval and Unintelligent Lord Lonsdale Gives a Luncheon to Col onel Roosevelt at Which a Number of Famous Hunters Were Present London, May 24. A committee of the Humanitarian league has ad dressed an open letter to Colonel loose velt In regard to his Africa hunting expedition, protesting against the slaughter of animals. The league in Its letter to the colonel says It deep- y regrets that by the recent expedi tion, during which a large number of mammals and birds were destroyed for what were termed purposes of science but which we must think were pri marily purposes of mere amusement, you have given worldwide encourage ment to that senseless lust of slaugh ter which Is misnamed sport, and hat as the ex-president of the great est republic in the world you have ex hibited youself as having no more uimane or more rational form of rec reation than the butchery of big game. The letter concludes as follows: 'At a tlmj when It is immensely more mportant to the cause of science and moral for mankind to become) ac quainted with the minds of animals than with their hides and bones, you have done your utmost to retard thought by the glorification on a large scale of the mediaeval unintelligent methods of the hunter and collector."
