State Department Has No Word
From Spain on Matter.
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. W'ltwlclfM tx frill t O ft hfl
.u....i.7 .... , ... ,
funeral procession passed through
rnWH nf SOmber v c ad Englishmen. at-
tes(,ng by thelr solemn demeanor the
ixmilne sorrow they felt for the final
passing of their king. 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.
Charles Brookwalter, former mayor
of Indianapolis, speaking before the
United Typothctae of America
in Washington on the subject of
the future of the Winona Tech
r.ieal Institute, declared that the ten
dency of the average American tech
lilcal school was to educate boys
away from work and not toward it.
"The avernge American boy is gut
tine to think it is dishonorable to
work with his sleeves rolled up," Mr,
Brookwalter declared. "Its almost the
same way with the girls. 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."
WEEKLY TRADE REVIEW
Report on the Condition of Business
by R. G. Dun & Co.
R. G. Dunn & Co.'s Weekly Review
says:
The trade movement taking the
country as a whole, continues large.
Sentiment in Iron and steel is more
optimistic as a result of a broader de
mand for finished products, accompan
ied by Increased interest In pig Iron.
New business haH come forward most
freely in the East whero inquiries for
ubotit 35,000 tons are pending and
fairly largo contracts for Jiesseincr
6iid basic Iron have been closed in the
Pittsburg district. Condition appeal
more favorable in finished si eel lines
now that the railroads and agricul
tural Interests have resumed active
buying of needed equipment. Good
orders for rolling stock have leen re
ceived and while demand for rails is
chiefly for small lots, the aggregate
tonnage taken is of quite large vol
ume. Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 212 against 246
last week. Failures in Canada num
ber 14 against 11 last week.

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."

SYMPATHY FOK
KING GEORGE
Innumerable MessagesFiom Be
yond Sea Touched His Heart.
London, May 24. King George has
issued the following: "To my people
beyond the seas Innumerable . mes
sages from my people beyond the seas
have touched my heart and assured
me that I have In full measure their
sympathy in the great trial which has
befallen me and them; that my sor
row is their sorrow; and that we share
a common loss. The happiness of all
his people, throughout his dominions,
was dear to the heart of my beloved
father. For them he lived and worked
and, as in their services he died, I
cannot doubt that they hold his
name in graceful remembrance.
"I am now called to follow in his
footsteps and carry on the work which
prospered in his hands. As a sailor I
have been brought into constant
touch with the oversea dominions of
the crown and have personally realized
the affectionate loyalty which holds
their lands of diverse peoples in one
Morions fellowship.
"Nine years ago I traveled through
(he empire accompanied by my dear
wife. Had the king lived we should
together at his expressed wieh, have
visited South Africa this coming
autumn to open the new parliament of
the Sou.h Africa union, the last and
greatest evidence of that peace and
harmony which my father ever loved
to promote.
"It, will be my earnest endeavor to
uphold, in all their fullness, the safe
guards of a constitutional government
and the liberties which are now en
joyed throughout my dominions, and
under the good guidance of the Ruler
of all men I will maintain upon the
foundation of freedom, Justice and
peace the great heritage of ?. united
British empire."
