THE LATE MAJ. LOGAN
DID FAIR TO RIVAL THE
M BLACK EAGLE."
For (<a>lARtrj Upon tb« Field of Iltftl#
— Ills Death In Laion Brought
Sorrow to tho Nation—Son of the
Late Gen. Logan.
The late Major John A. Logan, Jr.,
was born In July, 1865, at Murphys-
borough. Ill. He received an appoint¬
ment to West Point Academy and at¬
tended for two years, but resigned
shortly before his class was graduated.
Since his marriage to Miss Edith An¬
drews, daughter of the late millionaire
coal operator, C. H. Andrews, March
22, 1887, he resided at Youngstown, 0.
He owned the Oriole stock farm and
was engaged in limestone mining.
His aspirations for military life, ac¬
quired from his noted father, “Black
Jack” Logan, were made evident in
his boyhood days, He attended the
grammar schools, and then entered the
Chester Military Academy. Shortly
afterwards his desire for an army life
found way and he was appointed a cad¬
et at the United States Military Acad¬
emy at West Point. He remained here
but two years, however, leaving his
class to enter into the real estate busi¬
ness at Washington, D. C., where his
father, then a member of the United
{States senate, resided.
: Shortly after this he gave his aid to
ithe vice-presidential campaign of his
ifather. In the war for votes he met
*C. H. Andrews of Youngstown, 0., a
coal and iron magnate. The latter
took an active interest in the political

fight, and In the end “Jack” Logan be¬
came the husband of Mr. Andrews’
daughter Edith. The wedding occurred
In 1887 and was one of the society
events of the year.
After his marriage Maj. Logan de¬
voted much of his attention to the
breeding of fine horses. The English
hackneys from his Ohio stock farm se¬
cured prize after prize at the horse
shows held throughout the country.
When the big horse show was held at
the Chicago Coliseum, in October, 1S97,
John A. Logan, Jr., wa3 selected to
manage it. It was the greatest at¬
tempt Chicago had made in this direc¬
tion and the affair was a great social
success. The results were marred by
contentions between directors and
members of the state board of agricul-
Aure.
Then it was that the Spanish war-
cloud drifted over the horizon. Mrs.
Logan, the mother, had known the ex¬
periences of the civil war, and she en¬
couraged her son in his efforts to or¬
ganize a regiment of cavalry. This
fighting force was raised through his
efforts, but not accepted by the govern¬
ment, the federal authorities refusing
to accept the organization unless it
should be regarded as part of the
‘state’s quota of volunteers. Governor
Tanner placed obstacles In the path of
the young soldier by refusing to com¬
mission him as a volunteer, and it was
only after many delays that he was
commissioned a major in the volunteer
service by the war department at
Washington. When the mobilization
of troops prior to the Cuban campaign
was ordered “Jack” Logan reported to
Gen. Bates at Mobile as assistant ad¬
jutant general. The brigade organized
at this point was classed as an inde¬
pendent body when the force wrns re¬
moved to Tampa. The Third and
Twentieth regiments of infantry were
Included In this brigade. When the
army disembarked at Baiquiri on the
morning of June 22, 1898, Major Logan
was one of the first men ashore. The
kind acts which made him so popular
In his brigade began with the first
night among the land crabs and sands
of Cuba. It was long after 9 o’clock
that night that a party of newspaper
men bumped Into Gen. Bates’ head-
quarters, a few dog tents having been
dropped along the bridle path leading
to Santiago. A few boxes of hard
bread figured as the food supply of the
encountering party.
“We can beat that,” was Maj. Lo¬
gan’s salutation, an<J, late as It was
and with warnings of Spanish guer¬
rillas sounded by scouts, he ordered
fires started, and his orderly was sent
into action. Cans of sardines, pots
of tea and other delicacies came into
sight as a result of this activity.
"You’re a Delmonlco on wheels,”
was the resolution voted to “Jack” Lo¬
gan that night.
The war in Cuba ended, Maj. Logan
asked for service In the Philippines.
He was commissioned major of the
Thirty-third volunteers. He had been
In the Island of Luzon but two months
and had more than once distinguished
himself for gallantry. He fought, it
was said, that his own merits might
be recognized and that the opposition
of politicians who had combated him
might be erased.
Maj. Logan had achieved some re¬
pute as a writer, This incident of his
career was closely connected with the
coronation of the czar of Russia in
1897. At that time Maj. Logan, then
a captain on the military staff of Gov.
Bushnell of Ohio, had a personal quar¬
rel with Gen. McCook, which led to an
enmity between the two families. At
the coronation, so the story started,
Capt. Logan had worn a uniform to
which he had no right. This report
was traced, so Capt. Logan declared, to
Gen. McCook’s statements and an apol¬
ogy was demanded. It was asserted
that John J. McCook, son of the gen¬
eral, had worn a cavalry uniform to
which he was not entitled. During his
stay in Russia Maj. Logan compiled
material for his hook, “In Joyful Rus¬
sia.” He presented in this volume,
which attracted favorable attention,
his observations of the customs and
government of the land of the Musco¬
vites.
The New Alaskan Mining Camp.
One of the latest and most promising
of the Alaskan mining camps is Nome.
It is located on the Snake river and
had a population of 5,000 on Nov. 1.
At that time, however, 2,000 people
were expected to leave for the states
by the last boats, and the winter pop¬
ulation will not be more than 3,000.
There is not a tree or a bush as thicic
as a man’s wrist growing within fifty
miles of Nome, and there is, therefore,
a ready market for lumber at $250 a
thousand, 'while shingles sell for $10
a bunch. Coal costs $75 a ton and the
purchaser is expected in addition to
act as his own delivery wagon. Pota¬
toes sell for $20 a hundred, and beans,
locally known as Klondike strawber¬
ries, at eight cents a pound. Gold to
the amount of $3,000,000 is said to have
been taken out of the Nome placers
this season, and every available claim
in the limited district was long ago
staked out. There is at present great
activity in the Nome real estate mar¬
ket. The last Important sale, prior to
Nov. 1, was that of the El Dorado
building, a frame shanty on the main
street, 50x75 feet, on a lot measuring
50x150 feet. It sold for $22,000 cash.
The ruling price for day labor is $1 an
hour, but there is almost no work do¬
ing. Longshoremen get $20 a day, but
are compelled to stand up to their
waists in ice cold water most of the
day and are consequently soon laid up
with sickness.

man, “but the printer makes It read,

AVAS OF GREAT VALUE
THE COLLECTION OF THE LATE
PROF. MARSH.
Ills Ilelra Endeavor to Recover It from
Vale University—Story of Prof. Marsh's
Busy Life ns an Educator lu Abovo
Named Institution.
On the death of the late Prof. Marsh,
whose name in the scientific w-orld
ranks closely with that of Agassiz,
the splendid collection of minerals of
which he was the owner fell to the
share of Yale university under the
terms of tho will. Prof. Marsh had
been Identified for many years with
the chair of mineralogy in that insti¬
tution, and he felt justified in the
course which he took. But serious
trouble has since arisen. On account
of the monetary value of the collec¬
tion, which Is estimated to be worth
several millions of dollars, the heirs
of the late Prof. Marsh are bent upon
contesting the will with the view to
obtaining possession of the collection
or the monetary equivalent, to be di*

vided up between themselves. They
have served notice on Yale and Yale in
turn has employed legal counsel de¬
termined to leave no stone unturned
in her efforts to retain possession of
the collection which rightfully belongs
to her. Prof. Marsh was one of the
most celebrated instructors of the
many who have figured in the history
of Yale university. He was born in
Lockport, N. Y., Oct, 29, 1831; and was
the nephew of the late George Pea¬
body, the banker and philanthropist,
from whom he received most of the
wealth which permitted him to com¬
plete his education and found the Pea¬
body museum. The original gift for
this purpose amounted to $150,000.
This has developed into what it was
intended it should be, viz., a school of
original research, as w6ll as one of in¬
struction. Prof. Marsh was fitted for
college at Phillips academy at An¬
dover, Mass., where he prepared to en¬
ter Yale, and graduated with the class
of 1860. He renewed his studies at the
Scheflleld Scientific school, where he
sought to prepare himself for the high¬
er studies in natural history. He paid
particular attention to mineralogy and
geology, which he intended to make his
life work. While on an exploring trip
in Nova Scotia he discovered an im¬
portant fossil reptile. His reconstruc¬
tion and description of it gave him
positive rank among scientists. This
discovery determined Prof. Marsh to
make paleontology hts specialty, so
he renewed his studies in the univer¬
sities at Berlin, Heidelberg and Bres¬
lau. He spent much time during the
vacation periods exploring the Alps
and making researches in different
parts of Germany. In 1866 he returned
to the United States, where at Yale
university the chair of paleontology,
the first of its kind, was established.
From this time on Prof. Marsh de¬
voted a great deal of time to work of
exploration in the far western part of
the country, especially the Rocky
mountain region. The first trip to the
Rockies was made in 1868, and result¬
ed in many important discoveries in
his line of work. This trip was fol¬
lowed by others at frequent intervals,
and parts of the Rocky mountains and
foothills were traversed which had
never before been visited by white
men. So far into the forests and moun¬
tains did these little parties penetrate
that on most occasions a strong escort
from the regular army was necessary
to protect them from the Indians. The
remarkable collection produced as a re¬
sult of these researches, not alone in
the west, but in all parts of the coun¬
try, are stored in New Haven. These
works have been examined in part by
Prof. Huxley and Darwin, the latter
believing that some gave the strongest
kind of evidence in support of his the¬
ories on evolution. Prof. Marsh took
many honors, both in this country and
abroad, and at the time of his death
last spring held important offices in
most of tho leading scientific associa¬
tions in the United States and conti¬
nental Europe.
Allegiance to the Saltan.
.The announcement that the Sheik of
Wadai has acknowledged the suzerain¬
ty of the Sultan of Turkey and that the
latter is sending splendid presents to
the sheik as a token of his pleasure
should not be misunderstood. The
sheik has acknowledged only the
suzerainty of the sultan as the head
of the Mohammedan church and not
at all as having any authority in the
temporal affairs of the country. Wa¬
dai is a country in the central Soudan
and is populated by both negroes and
Arabs. The sultan is pleased at the
acknowledgment because allegiance
has heretofore been given to the Grand
Cherlff of Mecca, who divides with the
sultan the supreme authority In the
church.

GOV. TAYLOR
Louisville Republicans Pass Strong
Resolutions.
HOLD A MASS MEETING
Conference At Frankfort Was
Bare of Results.
The conference iu the office of Gov¬
ernor Taylor at Frankfort Wednesday
night ended shortly after midnight
without any action being taken on the
agreement. The charges that the
same is a Republican surrender were
responsible for the delay.
Thus, so far as the situation in the
controversy over the governorship of
Kentucky is concerned, there was
practically no change brought about.
The repeal of the Goebel law is the
one thing most strongly desired by
Governor Taylor. Gov¬
The agreement, as presented to
ernor Taylor, is understood to be some¬
what different from the published ab¬
stracts, in that the clause regarding
the election law and one or two mat¬
ters is much more specific than it is
generally understood to be, though not
strong enough to suit him. For this
reason tho rank and file of the Repub¬
lican party in the state apparently be¬
lieve there is some foundation for the
claims set up by the Democrats, and
scores of telegrams have poured in on
Governor Taylor in the past few days,
urging him not to sign the agreement,
but to maintain his present position
and await further developments.
LOUISVILLE REPUBLICANS ACT.
At a mass meeting of COO Republi¬
cans held in Music hall at Lousisville,
Wednesday night, resolutions were
passed and telegraphed to Governor
Taylor pledging the support and assist¬
ance of the Republicans of Louisville
in any stand the governor may see fit
to take on the peace agreement no w
under consideration by him. Mr. John
Marshall, Republican, lieutenant gov¬
ernor, said that so many protests were
being made by Republicans against the
terms of the peace agreement that ho
was doubtful if it w-ould be signed.
He said:
“The terms of the agreement as
published are taken to be liter¬
ally correct, while such is not the
case. There have been several
errors in .Vie published statement.
The Republican meeting at Music
hall tonight is on the idea that the
agreement has been published,
but it has not been given out cor¬
rectly.”
Lieutenant Governor Marshall was
one of the Republican members of
Tuesday night’s conference and one of
the signers of the agreement. He
Faid he was not at liverty to discuss
the terms of the document further,
nor to indicate in what respect the
published reports of it were inaccu¬
rate. .
Louisville merchants are much dis¬
turbed because of the effect the polit¬
ical agitation of lire past few months
has had on their business. At this
time of the year jnembers of out-of-
town buyers generally come to the
city, particularly from the south.
To correct the impression that have
got abroad the association adopted
this resolution:
“Realizing tho outrageous misrep¬
resentation of conditions alleged to
exist in the state, this association con¬
siders it a duty to the city and state
and the world at large, to record tho
fact that there is not, nor has there
been at any time, any disturbances or
interruption to business of any kind
iu Louisville or any other part of Ken¬
tucky, ters.'” outside of political headquar¬
Jeans Makers Confer.
The Jeans Manufacturing Associa¬
tion, composing all tha woolen mills
and jeans factories in the south and
west, met in Chattanooga Wednesday
morning, about thirty of the largest
mills being represented.
Delay Proved Profitable.
Twenty-one bales of cotton of the
crop of 1898 were sold in Charlotte a
few days ago by J. L. Ray, a Mecklen¬
burg county farmer, at 8 cents. By
the delay Mr. Ray netted something
over 8200.
WORKING I-OR CARTER.
Attorney Hakes Application to Su¬
preme Court For Certiorari.
A Washington dispatch says: At-
torney Abram Bose, representing Cap¬
tain Oberlin M. Carter in the proceed¬
ings against him for embezzlement,
etc., made formal application to the
United States supreme court Monday
for a writ of certiorari in this case to
be directed to the circuit court of ap¬
peals for the secoud circuit. Tbe
court announced that it would consid¬
er the petition and the solicitor gener¬
al was give ton days in which to pre¬
pare a brief in opposition.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS
Perfected By Citizens of Frankfort At
a Public Meeting.
A meeting of Frankfort, Ky., citi-
zens was held at the courthouse Tues¬
day night and arrangements were
made for a public observation of tho
funeral of Governor Goebel.
All business people of the city were
asked to close that day and drape their
buildings in black. All bells of pub¬
lic institutions were ordered tolled
during tho funeral services. Hon.
James Andrew Scott presided over the
meeting.
AGAIN IN FRANKFORT
Goebel’s Remains Are Returned
From Covington To the
Capitol Hotel.
The remains of Governor Goebel
were brought back to Frankfort from
Covington Wednesday and laid in
state iu tho ladies’ reception room in
the west wing of the Capitol hotel to
await, buttal.
There were no incidents marking
the return trip from Covington, Every
precaution was taken to avoid acci¬
dent, anil slow running time was made
in consequence.
Tho steady drizzlo of the morning
turned into a pouring rain in tho af¬
ternoon, which kept up without cessa¬
tion until long after nightfall, and
probably not over 3,000 or 4,000 peo¬
ple took the opportunity to get a last
look at the dead Democratic leader.
Many of these were country people.
The rains of tho past few days had
converted the country roads into
veritable quagmires, but in spite of
this, hundreds of country people drove
through the rain, some from long dis¬
tances, to see tho face of Governor
Goebel before it was shut from sight
forever.
Probably half of those who filed
past the casket were women, wives of
legislators and city and state officials,
sotiety ladies of Frankfort and coun¬
try women, many of the latter with
garments stained from the long, weary
rides over the mountainous roads.
Many pathetic scenes were witnessed
as the crowds slowly filed past the
bier. Many of the women were weep¬
ing violently as they glancod at the
sunken features in the casket.
During the evening many working¬
men and their wives came to the hotel
and took a last took at Governor Goe¬
bel’s face.
The floral offerings were magnifi¬
cent. Nearly every county in the state
sent flowers, and the big rjom was
one mass of roses, lilies and smilax.
Ranged along tho walls were scores of
floral pieces, some of them extremely
beautiful, while around the bier were
piled groat masses of flowers.
There was no excitement whatever
in the city. Adjutant General Collier
gave orders that all the soldiers be
withdrawn from the city to the capitol
grounds. This was clone to avoid any
irritation which tho presence of the
state troops might have on Governor
Goabel’s friends. Even the provost
guard was withdrawn, while all passes
were suspended, not even the commis¬
sary sergeants were allowed to pass
the gates of the capitol grounds to
procure needed supplies for their
men. These orders were to remain in
force until after the burial.
SOLDIERS HEAR BRYAN.
Nebraskan Speaks In New York Por
Hancock Post, G. A. R.
Hon. W. J. Bryau spoke Wednesday
night in Carnegie Music hall, New
York, on “Pending Problems,” under
the auspices of Winfield Scott Han¬
cock post No. 239, Grand Army of the
Republic, of the department of New
York, for the relief of soldiers and
widows and orphans.
More than 1,000 men and women
paid the price for admission. A ith
the hope of filling the big ball, those
in the galleries were invited down
stairs.
There was enthusiasm, however, in
the crowd as Mr. Bryan entered the
hall escorted by ex-Governor Hogg,
O. P. H. Belmont and Tern L. John¬
ston.
Among those who sent regrets were
Admiral Dewey, Generals Miles and
Merritt, Kev. Dr. Parkhurst, Con¬
gressman Amos J. Cummings and Na¬
tional Commander Albert E. Shaw, of
the Grand Army of tho Republic.
MESSAGES TO TAYLOR.
His Friends Iu London Advise Him
Not To Sign Agreement.
Messages were sent by the Repub¬
lican senators and representatives at
London, Wednesday, urging Gover¬
nor Taylor to remain firm and under
no circumstances to attacdi his signa¬
ture to the conference agreement.
Tho session of each house of the
legislature was brief, and the rain
kept away most of the spectators.
A sergeant-at-arms was elected in
each branch in the house, n door¬
keeper and four pages were chosen.
This practically constituted the day’s
business.
The rest of the day and evening was
spent in discussions of the peculiar
situation.
“LET ’EM LOOSE”
Is the Advice of Senator Caffery Re«
gardlng Filipinos.
Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, in a
discussion of the Philippine question
in the senate Monday broke now
ground in developing his position as
an anti-expansionist,. With character¬
istic courage of conviction he declared:
“Turn the Filipinos loose as soon
ns we can get l id of them. That would
be better for them and infinitely bet¬
ter for us. ”
Mr. Caffery’s argument was mainly
a discussion of the constitutional
questions involved in the Philippine
uoiicy.
