Stuart Fuller, the state department's agent sent to Investigate the atroci ties in the Putumayo rubber country of Feru, recently started with the Brit ish consul at Iquitos for the headwa ters of the Amazon, where he will es tablish a base for his operations. Mr. Fuller will proceed by a light draft stern wheel steamer as far up the Amazon perhaps as the moutii of Its tributary, the Putumayo, and at that point the party will be obliged to take small power launches.

Altogether, the voyage up :he river will extend about 2,000 miles. Mr. Fuller will not be long out of touch with the outside world. The Peruvian government has erected some powerful wireless telegraph stations in the rubber country, w hich are capable of establishing communication over the Andes to Lima. It has been suggested that a ques tion as to the ownership of the terri tory in which the rubber fields are lo cated may offer some difficulties - to the negotiations for the suppression of the atrocities. Brazil, Chile and Peru once disputed part of the tract, but that has been adjusted. Colombia, however, Is said to feel that she has an ancient title to the property, bas ing it on the contention that uuder the name of New Granada her title ran to all the present territory of Ecuador, Yeuezuela and Pera The state department, however, is concerned only with the allegations of torture of the natives. r, roster widow or "'V ' . .

Brevet Major General George S. A. General Custer is probably best re membered for his achievements in the many Indian fights in which he par ticipated and by his record as an In dian scout The collection includes a memento of this phase of his career In the form of the white buckskin coat iu which he has been most often pic tured as a plainsman and scout This coat is in excellent condition and looks as if the general had just removed it and hung it up. It has deep collar and cuffs and is heavily fringed with slash ed buckskin trimmings. The pockets are made much as iu modern sporting coats, while the buttons are of the reg ular army pattern of the period. This coat calls to uiiud the services General j Custer rendered the government in the i campaigns against the Sioux in 1ST5 j and lSTii. in the last of which, the bat- , tie of the Little Big Uoru, he met his ; death. j Accompanying the coat are a yellow j plumed cavalry helmet and a buckskin : gauntlet, both worn during his active j ! sen-ice against the Indians from 1SG6 ! i to 1S7G, while lieutenant colonel Sev- ! ' enth cavalry, V. S. A. ! Coat He Was Married In. j ! There is aiso a blue regulation army ; officer's coat, with two starred straps, . plush collar and culls, the coat which i ; be wore on the occasion of his mar- ; : riage to Miss Elizabeth Bacon, Feb. j 3, 1504. A straight cavalry saber of tremen i dous size Is also included iu the col- ; lection. It was a spoil of war cap- ' tured by Major Drew, who presented it to General Custer, since he knew of ' : no other man able to wield such a large ' weapon. It has a Toledo blade, on : which Is engraved in Spanish. "Do not ; draw me without cause and do not , ' sheathe me without honor." ' A Virginia state flag, a prize of the general's personal prowess, captured . by hira In 1SG1. when a lieutenant. Is ; a'.so on exhibition. It Is supposed to be the first standard captured by the Army : of tl:e Totomac. Ore object of great historical signifl J canoe, though of rather an unromantic ; nature, is half of a white towel that Sgured conspicuously In t!:e battle just preceding the surrender of General I.ee at Appomattox. It seems that while ' Genera! I.ee fc?.d gone to the rear of ; tie Confederate ll"es to seov.re an ia- terv'.ew w:th General Grant, leaving 'LINCOLN-LEE-GRANT STATUE. General Longstreet In command. Gen eral Gordon's division became , hard pressed by the enemy and called on Longstreet for assistance. Not being able to furnish it at the time, Long street sent his Inspector general, Major K. M. SImms, to suggest to Gordon the sending of a flag of truce to the Fed erals requesting a suspension of hos tilities pending the Interview between Lee and Grant. Used Towel as Flag. Following this suggestion, Gordon at once dispatched Siinuis to the Federal commander, Sheridan, with this re quest As Major Simnis galloped to ward the lines of the Federals he searched his haversack for something white to cover his advance, but found only a towel. This be drew out and waved above his head as he approach ed the enemy. The Union soldiers caught sight of the white towel, held their tire, and under this improvised flag Simms was allowed to enter the lines, where he was met by Colonel Whittaker and taken to General Cus ter, who was In command of that part of the field. Neither of these officers, however, cared to declare a temporary cessation of hostilities just then, feel- -ing that they had the advantage of the fight and held the southern army at their mercy. So Slinms was obliged to return to his own lines without accomplishing i his purpose- He left the truce towel : in the hands of Colonel Whittaker, who took half of it and gave the other portion to General Custer. It was only shortly after the incident just men tioned that Sheridan and Gordon met and established a teni;Hrary truce which held until the conference be tween Grant and Lee terminated the war. Historic Table. Most important among this collection of war relics Is a little oval table of wood, much battered and scarred, on which General Grant wrote the letter containing the terms of surrender of General Lee at the home of Wilmer McLean, near Appomattox Court House, Va. Immediately after this event the table was purchased by General Sherl dan and given to General Custer as a present for his wife. General Sheri dan's letter of presentation, dated April 10, ISCo. the day following the surrender, which is included In the col lection, corroborates this statement The collectiion also Includes a pin made from a piece of conch shell, once a button from the coat of General Washington, presented by a relative of the general to Custer. Later Custer had it mounted in gold for his wife, who wore it for many years as a brooch. PLAN A GREAT WINDBREAK. warr liizkx x success. ' Re?-entative Pou's Bill Provides For an Imposing Structure.
