THE GOVERNMENT REPORT. JTHAT THE DEPARTMENTS HAVE TO SHOW AT THE EXPOSITION. VKTERKFTINO DISPLAYS TO ILLUSTRATE THE AFFAIRS OF THE UNITED STATES OK USD AND SEA. A member of the United. States Government Hoard for the Pan-American Exposition paid In cpeech on the opening; day that the display In the Government Building was In the nature of a report to the people.

Doubtless there Is no other country in the world where the people are keenly Interested In all that the government Is doing as they are In the United States. Yet even here there Is a proportion small indeed of perrons who have the patience to read actual reports of departments of the government. The people who visit Buffalo thin summer will carry away with them more knowledge of what the government has done and Is doing than all the people of the country would learn in twenty by the study of reports. Reading is dull and figures are duller, but everybody likes object lessons. The United States Government is a famous exhibitor at fairs, and always has its space ready before anybody else.

This time the government exhibit is the only one which ran be Intelligently discussed as a whole at the opening of the exposition. It is bo nearly finished that what Is left to be done is mere detail. Indeed. It Is not unlikely that it will be absolutely complete when this article is printed. CLOSEST TO THE PEOPLE.

There is no other department of the government which comes so close to the whole people os the That even a government department may have a sense of humor is shown by the cases filled with strange articles which have been from time to time committed to the care of th. mails. There must have been something wrong about lack of postage, Insufficient address or unmailable character or else, of course, they would have been delivered. instead of being here. The collection includes hats, shoes, sabots, a tin coffee pot.

iron chains, a lamp chimney, a coeoanut without wrapper, the address written and the stamps r.tuck on its husk; a whole ham and an umbrella. One of the most curious of all is a letter removed from Its wrapper, if it ever hail one. and bearing th' stamp of the Dead Letter Office. It is written with pencil on a piece of board, about two feet long and a foot wide. It may have been detained for want of postage, for the letter rate on it must have come to a small fortune.

It is written by a man to a former sweetheart end reproaches her for faithlessness. As she never received the letter in the regular way, it Is to be hoped that she will chance to come to the exposition and will see it. and that it will harrow her heart with the thought of her pertidy and its public exposure. MAIL CARRYING METHODS. The methods of enrrylng mails, old and new, are shown by wax groups, models and.

In one or two cases, by actual conveyances. the last named is a battered old mail coach, built in in which President Garfield. President Arthur and General Sherman all rode in their time. A man of wax. on a stuffed donkey, shows how mails were carried in Porto Rico when the Spaniards ruled, and the tropical scenery around him is in etrSking contrast to the landscape of Northern Michigan in the alcove adjoining.

In this space is another waxen man. warmly wrapped up and walking or running on shoes beside a drawn by dogs. Exclamations of astonishment come from most of the visitors before this group at the information that th mode of mail carrying is in vogue In one of the United States. The contrast of the old and the new methods of ocean mall carrying Is shown by the model of the steamer Southerner, the first steam vessel which carried mails across the Atlantic, placed beside the models of the Paris. Oceanic, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Grosse and the The Southerner, with her paddle boxes projecting far out from her sides, looks like a model of one of the little Thames steamers.

There is nothing at all resembling her in these waters now. MODELS OF WARSHIPS. models illustrate the progress of the ens cf I-- and the most efficacious means of the advancement of civilization. Just across the passage from them are the models of war- Fhipp. which, some say.

are agents in the advancement of civilization also. Others think differently. But There they are. and every American'who sees thorn may be proud of his navy. Even more interesting than the separate ships is the huge map of the world, with tiny ships, one for Mdi cf the actual vessels of the navy, i.lac.d upon it and moved about from day to to show the position of the reneta.

Admiral IK-wey is in the tr.iddlf and around him is a select company, consisting of one man from each rank of the eervico down to the common seaman. Th- eavipnwst of the War Department does not lend itself so readily to reproductions by models, nor has it the imuvt of the sea to aid its interest, but it exhibits abundant guns and munitions and horses, and that faithful and in- Valuable, public servant, the army mule. MODELS OF MANY OTHER THINGS.

The whole exhibit seems almost entirely made up of models. New sorts are found in the space devoted to Smithsonian Institution. These thow types the aboriginal Inhabitants of America, from Alaska to Patagonia, and something of their habits and modes of life. There are life size family groups, and there are miniature representations of dwellings and bits of landscape, with the people characteristically disposed about them. Cases of animals, nsnes.

birds and minerals fill out this collection. There are models and models in the exhibits of the Geological Survey, the Patent office and the Department of Indian Affairs. In this last department there is a most fascinating collection of drawings of nun and things In Alaska. by native artists. Th.

have the naive of a child's pictures on his slate at school. but th.v tell much about the country. There are pictures of people and costumes, plans of houses and scenes and incidents in hunting, fitshir.s. working, llchting. eating, sleeping and Maying.

It is a most instructive collection, but it to lie feared that the artists have drawn OB their imaginations, else on legend or mythology, at times, for there Is one picture of a great bird flying away with a whale, while other whales about in the sea below, with four-fifths of their ladles out of the water, to show to all the world that they are unmistakably whales. The reindeer, figuring prominently In the and the models, in an object of interest jus: now. on account of the efforts going on to stack Alaska with the animal in greater numbers, for the salvation of the inhabitants. The very existence of the people of Alaska is threatened because of the want of food due to the destruction of whales and end fish, and the hope seeras to be in the reinoeer, which, if it can be Introduced in sufficient numbers and made to thrive, will be the food, the clothing, the milk producer and the draught animal of the country- THE CDTJI I 111 I- There is such a division the officers of the Regiment over the question of the vacant lieutenant-colonelcy that the election has been indefinitely poeipoti'-d.

Hartford, May 11 (Special) The General Assembly took an excursion trip In a body on Thursday, going up on the Central Xew-England road to examine the disputed territory known as the Wagner farm. in Granby, over which the extension of that line (the original Connecticut Western) was built for a few brief hours and then torn up by order of the reputed owner. The trip was a short one.

and. In ko far as the extension was concerned, served as an object lesson to the members. It Is the general impression of those who are "on the Inside" that the Railroad Committee will report' against the extension, that the House will turn down the committee's report and that the struggle will finally come In the Senate. The temperance textbook substitute bill, which has been one of the Interesting minor features of the session, has been passed by the House, and will probably become a law. The bill is regarded as a dnect at what are known as the "Mary Hunt It modifies the temperance teaching by striking out the clause which provided that onefifth of all textbooks In public schools dealing with physiology and hygiene should be devoted to antl- THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT BUILDING AT THE PAN-AMERICAN EXPOSITION.

The Influence of Professor Atwater's experiments has been felt in this r.ew law, although he took no personal part In securing its passage. The most notable gathering of Union veterans in this city for many years was that of the Third Army Corps which held its annual banquet at the Alljm House out of compliment to the Rev. Joseph Twicheil. who was president for the last year. General "nan" was the prominent figure, aiiil his address was one of the heard in the c'ty for a ior.g time.

Other speeches were by Senator HawUy. -nrral Dwignt. of this city, and Color.fl Jacob L. Qreene. In this connection it is worth noting that Governor McLean was Ibe guest of bonor at the annual encampment of the State department, Army of the Republic, at Norwich, on Wednesday.

The Governor is being called upon for more speaking than any other Governor the State has hail, and he Is making a name for a most felicitous speaker. shows unmistakable signs of hard work, and has aged materially otraln of th. campaign of last year. His Influence is f-elriK felt in legislative, affairs, and has not hesitated, although It has been an innovation for a Governor, to express his mind upon issues before the legislature, particularly thosf nlatitiK in constitutional reform, to which he Is firmly devoted.

Porto Rico. April When Acting Oovernor Hunt was asked the other day to express an opinion on the statements made by Borda and Balbas. Porto Rlcan Commissioners In the Tnited States, his reply implied that these men are not representing conditions here as they actually exist. "Why," said secretary Hunt, "since the American occupation the Island has never been in as good condition as it is to-day. The customs books last month and show a balance in our favor.

The sugar crop large, and we are exporting more than we Import. All this opposition comes from the anti-American party. Now that the Holalcoholic lander law Is better understood. It Is accepted by all excepting the Federals, who have never before paid a land tax. "To use an old expression, with the advent of the Americans the people here expected the millennium, anil they got a hurricane.

I am told that the Porto Hlcans for years have been chronically Th. are always grumbling. A man now here who visited the Island twenty years ago tells me that, according to reports, the Island was then on the verge of ruin. Later, ten years ago. everything was Kolr.g to the dogs.

Why. that man can gel anything he wants at Washington simply for the asking. His personal magnetism Is wonderful Since he has teen at Washington he has secured many privileges for Porto Ulco.

The laborers in the trench, thirty feet from the surface, fill a steel bucket, which is lowered to them by means of a boom and derrick. This derrick is manipulated by a small engine placed about a dozen feet from the excavation.

The boom which swings the steel bucket back and forth from the trench to the waiting carts is of exceedingly heavy plank, about fifteen Inches in diameter. Suspended from this swinging boom is the steel bucket, which, when' filled, carries enough earrti to fill a single cart. At the time of the accident the bucket was being hoisted from the excavation, and was suspended In the air preparatory to being swung to the cart. Suddenly, without warning, there was an ominous cracking, and the flange at the top of the upright boom, which controlled the swinging boom, gave This immediately allowed the heavy swinging boom, and the still heavier steel bucket filled with earth, to fall, with a tremendous crash.

There are few golf clubs In this neighborhood which anticipate a more active season than that which has been mapped out by the managers of the Bay Shore club, an organization got up and maintained largely through the Influence of Richard Hyde, of the Brooklyn theatrical firm of Hyde Ilehman. on his country place at Bay Shore. Long Island. The links, now being put Into shape for the season's campaign. Is to be reckoned among th- best.

and is an attraction far those who make their summer homes Ml the south shore of Long Island In the neighborhood of Babylon and Bay Shore, for it is between these two towns that the links Is situated. Mr. Hyde's place, which he has owned for the last nine or ten years. is on the South Country Road, generally called the Merrlck Road, about a mile and a half west from Bay Shore. His property, extends from the Great South Bay back inland almost three miles, and Is nearly a mile wide.

This property is largely covered by timber, but that part bounded on the south by the lay and on the north by the South Country Road, a tract of 525 acres, hi open, and on this he has constructed one of the finest links hereabouts. It Is a nine hole course, and while the land Is rather flat. It has been well broken up with hazards and bunkers. and these, with the natural hazards, such an a fewstraggling trees and a number of natural ditches, make It as attractive as could be desired. Some years ago this tract of land was covered principally by salt marshes, and was totally rseless for any purpose.

In those days Mr. Hyde's yacht used to be anchored out In the bay. One night, about four years ago. one of those southeasters for which the Great South Bay is famous (or infamous) came up, and the water and waves carried the Pastime on shore, and left her stranded high and dry in a cornfield half a mile Inland. It was an almost impossible task to float her again.

but when it was done Mr. Hyde decided that It would not happen again, so he had constructed a canal, with a pond at the end. where his boat is now kept. This canal is 120 feet wide, has a minimum depth of eight feet, and is almost half a mill 2.530 feet, to be exact. At the end of the canal is a pond 160 by 350 feet.

This waterway thoroughly drains the land, and the hundreds of springs and tiny streams which used to make tha land marshy now find their outlet by It direct. Over BMM cubic yarda of earth were taken out In Its construction, and this was to fill In the surrounding land, till It is now as dry and firm as land should be for the purpose to which it Is put. The links, which was laid out early last year, comprises a nine hole course, measuring- 3.2 yards, or one mile and four-fifths, approximately, in length. The lengfh of the individual holes la as follows: First. 325 yards- second.

yards; third. 363 yards; fourth. yar.l<»; fifth. yards; sixth. yards; seventh.

yards; eighth. 300 yards, and ninth. yards. The entire course can be covered without a crossing of the play, and this Is in Itself an advantage, for crossing of play not only frequently causes tiresome waits for one couple to pass before the other can proceed, but It Is sometimes positively dangerous. The clubhouse is on the east side of the links, and from its broad verandas a full view of entire course may be had.

In this house are lockers for one hundred men at the north end. and for as many women at the south end. the central part being reserved for a large sitting room. Upstairs consists of one large room. it AX OF BAH ALIASES CAUGHT.

HAD A NUMBER Or JEWELS THAT HAD STOLEN FROM A HOUSE. Frank Schneider, alias Mike Fisher, alias Miller, alias Mike Lehr. was arrested yesterday afternoon by Detectives Brown and McDonogh at One-hundred-and-forty-flfth-st. and Elghth-ave. Schneider was Just about to get on an elevated train, when the attention of the detectives was attracted to him because of a large bundle which he carried.

They knew him to be a crook and arrested him on suspicion. When he MS) taken to headquarters and the bundle was opened, the following goods were found In It: One Tiffany open face gold watch, a chatelaine and gold watch set with three diamonds and three sapphires, two child's (old band bracelets, four gold chain bracelets, one gold wire bracelet, one silver chain bracelet, five gold brooches, one silver thimble, four gold rings, one gold chain, one bookmark, a gold medal, on one side of which engraved Joseph's Academy" and on the other "Martha C. Fitch. Graduated June 23, 1379." and a souvenir badge. Captain Titus at once telephoned to all the precincts In the upper part of the city, telling them of the arrest.

Word was received from the West that Mrs. K. C. Fitch of No 503 West One-hunUred-and-forty-aev- had called at the station and reported that her house had been entered while she was out ami a considerable amount of Jewelry stolen. She gave a list of the things stolen, which corresponded to the list of articles found In Schneider's possession.
