-aT * At the main gate to Camp Mount thie morning the Fair grounds did not give much evidence that it wae still an army lendeivous, but as one entered and went up the drive there were strong indications on both right and left that either an army or a cyclone had been there. Two soldiers stood guard at the gate. One of them had on a volunteer's blouse and carried a club in his hand—otherwise the soldiers could have easily been mistaken for civilians. On the east side of the main drive, the bama had their doors open and a brisk May wind was scattering the straw and other wreckage Which the departed regiments had left behind. The larger buildings west of the drive were closed. At the Woman's building, where the commissary 1* housed, there were three or four soldiers, and at the old brigade headquarters half a dozen volunteers were lounging about the veranda. But from this point one could see that there was a till a portion of the Indiana army. Across the drill field to the north were the tents of the 169th, or old First Regiment. A person reaching the guard lines on the north side of ths race track saw guards pacing their beats, who, with sticks which they carried In their hands, batted stones into the air. The men had two complaints to make. One was they want to leave the camp. It was discouraging to them, they said, tn see three regiments moving out of the Fair grounds, while their orders were to remain until further instructions came • from Washington. None of the men say they want to return home. They prefer to follow the othpr Indiana regiments into the South. The other complaint was that they marched to the paymaster yesterday and then went back to their camp without receiving any money. Would Idles to be Paid. About all the troops say that they are in need of money. One said: "I'm not exactly broke, but I am badly bent.’’ They all have the impression that the State will hold back their money until they leave the camp, aa was done with the other regimenta. It is thought that when the soldiers get the money to jingling In their pockets they can not resist the temptation to spend it, and that they Will need their pay mor«_ after leaving camp than while they are here. Col. John T. Barnett Is In command of the regiment, he having succeeded Col. George H. Pennington, of New Albany, who had his leg broken by his horse falling on him. Colonel Barnett said this morning that he would make his headquarters alter to-day In the building occupied by General McKee and Colonel Gunder, A flag is still floating from the staff on the building. He said the most important question with him is, when the regiment will be called away from Indianapolis. He has had no Intimation, he says, when this call will come. He was not Wed this morning that uniforms are on the way for the equipment of his regiment. The clothing is new and will be gladly received by about 3fi0 of the volunteers, who are still wearing their civilian dress. The colonel said he would keep the men In their present quarters, insteijd of moving them to the building oiv»the south side of the Fair grounds. "I am not much on the move,’* he said. “While I will change my quarters to the administration building, I Intend to keep my eye on ,ne regiment. The thing the men need most Is discipline.” Drill and Parade a* tauni. Into his tent was floating the music of the regimental band, one of the best that has bean. In the camp, aa it played at guard me unL “While we are here,” the colonel continued, “we will religiously follow a military program, as we have been doing since we went into camp. There will be a parade every evening, as heretofore. There are a thousand men to participate In It. 1 have the Impression that we shall remain here until we are fully equipped. Right now there is not a gun in the regiment." Some of the officers have the impression that in the event President McKinley should call for more troops, the regiment will be continued here as a nucleus ot another army from Indiana. They think that the regiment, with Us experienced companies, would be of,value in forming other regiments, and giving them at least a preliminary training. But But Colonel Burnett says he thinks the regiment will not be held here for that purpose. “It is my opinion,” he says, “that the Presidmvt will call for our services as scon tut I.• can And use for us. If he Is disposed to hold' volunteers in this country until the rainy season In Cuba is over, we may coivtirvue in camp here all •summer," There was a report going about the oorttp this morning that troops from North ■western Slates would be brought to Calnp Mount, so that they would be closer to Southern points, but Ootonel Barnett said he did! not know If the' report was true. The hospital corps waa busy this morning treating bod colds and sore throats, but none of the cases were serious. The doctors say that the health of the regimental camp has been good, considering that the men have been living kn tent*. Moat of ihe sickness has been in the ranks of- the recruits. The older militiamen, who have seen camp life before, seem to know how to take care of themselves. Visitors Mill Come. Most of the visitors to the camp centered their interest on the troops who lived in the buildings. The tents of Col. Barnett’s regiment seemed to be too far away for people to walk to them. But this morning ths pleasant weather drew a number of visitors to the white town. None of the companies In the regiment are from Indianapolis and most of. the visitors were mothers and sisters from out of the city. They carried small bundles and baskets of food In their bands, and found that the walk from the south entrance to the teuta of the troops was about half a mile. The military girls have not altogether ceased in their efforts to collect enough brass buttons for their belts. Although the regiment is without arms, and one-third have no uniforms. the companies know how to drill and the volunteers do not expect the public to lose interest in them because three regiments have left the camp. The regimental “postmasters" are having a trying time. They have on hand a large bunch of letters, which they can not deliver, as they are addressed to men who are thought to have departed for the South. Most of the addresses do not give company letters and regiment numbers, and the "postmasters" are at a loss to know what to do with them. They say that if those who write ths soldiers will place the. company letter on the envelopes It will make the delivery of mall more prompt -

lAeut.-Col. May Still Hero. Lieut.-Coi. Will T. May, of the Onehundred - and - fifty - seventh Regiment, who, as & United States army captain, has had charge of mustering the Indiana

I volunteers into the United States army, j was at his roll-too desk in the AdminlsI tration building this morning. He says I It may be some time before he can join Colonel Studebaker's regiment. He finds that he has a large amount of work before him In making up various i reports. Among them are three muster rolls for each company, making a total of 162 of these reports. One of the rolls of a company goes to the War Department at Washington, another to the State Adjutant-General and the third is preservea by the company.

CONDITION OF THK FAIR GROt XUS. Damage by the Troops Oaring Their Occupation. Members of the State Board of Agriculture were sauntering about the .Fair grounds this morning viewing the condition of the buildings and grounds. One of them said it would take $5,000 to repair the damage. Another said: “I think the board has had enough of the soldiers." They found that fencing to the extent of several rods was missing, it haying been consumed in camp-fires. The sheep barns seem to have suffered most. Some of the gates were torn down and the partitions of the stalls made good foundations for the bed-ticks on which the troops slept. The soldiers thought the boards were more healthful than spreading their ticks on the bare ground. The memin ^ of the board said the horticultural building shovred the least damage of any ot the buildings occupied by the volunteers. In the woman's building there had been soldiers who seemed to have destructive dispositions, and there are numerous evidences of pocket-knives having been used in carving names and whittling oflt pine corners for amusement. In the grounds there are numerous piles of straw, and wooden boxes and barrels mark the location of camp kitchens. It will require a force of men several days to clear the grounds of the debris. Thousands of feet in the last three weeks have tramped down the grass, and In many places paths and bare spots have taken the place of the vegetation. Some of the members say that they hope no more troops will be sent to the Fair grounds. It is understood that the State Board of Agriculture will put in a bill for damages done to the Fair grounds by the soldiers, and it is a question at the State House whether such a bill will be paid or not. One of the officers of the army says that the grounds are much cleaner now than when the National Guard assembled there.

The Sntlers Depart, About all the camp sutlers packed up and left last evening, and more went to-day. After the troops were paid the sutlers did a thriving business. For a time they were thick in the camp and Just outside the south gate. Nearly all of them operated lunch stands. A downtown store opened a branch, and sold shirts, hosiery, su^enders, lookingglasses, combs and brushes and the like, and had a large trade among the soldiers. FV)r two or three days a young German woman has appeared at the camp with two baskets on her arms, each piled high with pies, cakes and doughnuts, which she made herself. She found a sale for her delicacies as fast as sne could get them to the Fair grounds. o COMMERCIAL CLUB’S PATRIOTISM.

Enthusiastic Speeches at a Military Smoker—Resolutions.

The "military smoker,” held by the Commercial Club last night, gave expression in words to that which has already been said, by waving flags and marching columns of men In Indianapolis. Two hundred representative men of the city were present, and the Span-l«h-American war w-as the topic of the evening. The rooms were decorated with American and Cuban flags, and there were numerous pictures of the hero of Manila. Among the guests were Colonel Barnett, of the One-hundred-and-fifty-ninth Indiana, and other officers from Camp Mount, in uniform. President D. M. Parry, of the club, called upon H. H. Hanna for the “opening gun,” The speaker's remarks were happily expressed and evoked much applause. He favored the independence of Cuba, and hoped the United States would retain possession of Porto Rico, which would prove valuable in connection with the opening of the Nicaraguan canal. He declared that we are on God's side in this cause, the cguse of humanity, and are safely on the way to establish liberty In the Western Hemisphere. H. H. Miller followed with a eulogy of Admiral Dewey and a brief review of naval heroes. He predicted that the regiments Indiana Is now sending to the front would make as good a showing as those she sent out In the war for the Union. Colonel Barnett, of the One-hundred-and-flfty-nimh Regiment, said the boys now going to the front were of the best material the State had. He asked for the co-operation and sympathy of the citizens at home In making of the "boys” of the Indiana command such soldiers and citizens as Indiana always yields in time of need. S. E. Morss spoke next, commending Colonel Barnett’s remarks and closing with Commodore Decatur’s toast, “Our country! May she always be right, but right or wrong, our country!” Millard Cox. C. E. Merrifleld, Judge Gavin and diaries R. Williams made brief patriotic speeches, all of which were warmly applauded. Mr. Merrifleld, who was once In the navy, recited some original verses and evoked much enthusiasm. . John W. Kern’s Enthusiasm. The last speech of the evening w~a» by John W. Kerns who spoke of the cessation of partisan politics and a united country while the Spanish-American war is on. He slid he spoke for the six and one-half millions who voted for the Nebraska man, but who are now giving their support to William McKinley, and will continue to do so until Spain has been humbled and the integrity of the United States established. He insisted that the kind of history now being made is essential to the life of a republic, and that the United States needed a much better navy. "What we want,” he concluded, “Is a navy that will size up witto Dewey." The “Bald-Headed Glee Club” had been singing patriotic airs, and Mr. Kern said he never heard Burgess Brown and his club sing without feeling like Joining the army himself. He regarded It as fortunate for hi* family that no recruiting station was at hand. On motion of W. H. H. Miller a committee was chosen to draft resolutions expressing the sympathy of the club with Its founder, Ell Lilly, who for eight months has been critically 111 at his home. The president appointed W. H. H. Miller. H. H. Hanna and John W. Kern as such committee. The following resolutions, reported by the committee, were adopted unanimously: "Resolved. That we, the members of this club, hear with deep grief of the protracted and serious Illness of Colonel Eli Ully. whom we recognize as the founder of this club, as one of the most publlc-epirtted and useful citizens of our city and State, and as a citizen soldier who proved his valor and love of country amid the dangers and hardships of —e great civil war. "Resolved. That he has our sincere sympathy in this, the hour of hla weakness and suffering, and our earnest wishes for his speedy recovery. "Resolved. That the president of the club be instructed to present a copy of these resolutions to Colonel Lilly, and that they be spread upon the records of the club." President Parry’s 8u««re*t!on». Following the speeches, refreshments were served and Informal talk congratulatory the club's new life and spirit was indulged. There was much favorable discussion of two suggestions made by President Parry. First, that inasmuch a» there is no Indiana Guard, the Club might encourage the organization of the new guard and even organize a club company; second, that cadet organization in the public schools ought to be encouraged. A universal sentiment in favor of a great and controlling navy, as voiced by several speakers, seemed to prevail. - -o Army Cracker* and Vinegar. St. Louis, Mo.. May 17.—Captain Duval, of the United States commissary department, has made a contract with local bakeries for 610.000 pounds of army crackers. This h» equivalent to 30,000 barrel* of flour. On each will be printed the word*. “Remerober the Maine.” Besides the big contract for hard bread, Contain Duval has let a contract in tins city for 2S,0tX) gallons of vinegar.

Ariatoratie Indianapolis Youth Rathe Their Feet in View of a Chattanooga Public — Colonel Gunder’s Regiment Ahead of Colonel Smith’*.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Lawrenceburg, Ky., May 17.—Col. Harry B. Smith, bringing up the rear of the One-hundred-and-fifty- eighth Indiana Regiment of United States volunteer Infantry. arrived here at 9:30 o'clock today. The delay In getting away from Indianapolis last night upset the calculations of the railroads, and progress toward the South was much slower than had been anticipated. When the sun came up the third and rear section of the train was standing on one of the bridges that spans the Ohio at Louisville. The officers had talked far Into the night of the splendid farewell reception by the friends at home and were still sleeping amid great bunches of wilted flowers. Few of the privates had tried to sleep. They were comfortably cared for, each man having a seat to himself, but the nervous strain Incident on going away on the mission of war had made sleep out of the question, and so the boys sat up ail night talking of the good friends they had left at home and the prospect of seeing active service in Cuba before many weeks. Although the train was four or five hours behind the time announced for It, crowds were out at all the stations between Indianapolis and Louisville to encourage the volunteers forward. The words "Remember the Maine," which appeared on one side of the headquarters car were taken up by the people at every stop and shouted and re-shouted. Here and there country people congregated to see the train go by and burned bonfires in honor of the departing volunteers. At the Coffee Stations. Greensburg had been designated as a coffee station, and 150 gallons of steaming Java was in tanks on the platform, but it was so late that there was not much demand for It. The second section took coffee for breakfast at Louisville, but the section carrying yie colonel and his staff did not reach a coffee station until late in the forenoon. At Louisville two companies were detached from the third section and hitched on to the second section, so as to lighten the headquarters train. The officers of these companies, who were sleeping in Colonel Smith’s car, awoke to find the men under them on another train, sixty miles forward. The surgeons with the regiment said that, considering that the men had such a trying day yesterday, they were surprised to find everybody so well this morning. A few men were suffering from severe colds, but not a single case of serious Illness was reported. The care Colonel Smith exercises over the men is the talk of the regiment. He did not appear in his cot last night until every man in his command had been made comfortable for the night. J. P. HORNADAY. Kentucky Enthusiasm. [Special to The Indianapolis News.] Burgin, Ky., May 17.—The trip through Kentucky was intensely interesting to the privates and officers, many of whom had never before been south of the Ohio river. The railroad from Louisville to Burgin is through a sparsely-populated country, but there were cowds at every station, who displayed the greatest Interest in the Indiana troops. Many stops were made, and the Kentuckians had an opoportunity to get a good look at their brethren from the adjoining State north. At Shelbyville, Ky., an old man looked up and down the train and then said: "You are a putry good lookin’ set of fellers; darned if I don’t believe you would fight.” At Lawrenceburg colored people were waiting with buckets and pots of coffee, and as the men on the third section have not been able to get coffee since leaving Indianapolis the supply was quickly purchased. A few’ mile* south of Lawrenceburg the volunteers had their first view of Salt river, a muddy little stream rushing down through the hills. The historic stream was particularly Interesting to Colonel Smith, who, as a politician, had frequently heard of the river, but had never before seen it The interest taken In the volunteers by the people along the route seemed to grow as the regiment pushed further Into the South. The patriotism of the people Impressed the officers of the regiment, who frequently remarked that the Southerners were more demonstrative than the people of the North. The slow progress of the trains was disappointing, but the volunteers, officers and privates, made themselves comfortable. Drs. Charlton and Wright led the singing, which was kept up all day In the headquarters’ car. "On the Banks of the Wabash” was the favorite, and next to it an invention by Dr. Wright, "Cuba Shall be Free.” The round of song always wound up with “America." Here we learned that the One-hundred-and-sixtieth Indiana, Colonel Gunder. which came by way of Cincinnati, had preceded us five hours. Two sections of one train were consolidated here, and will be got to Chickamauga as a doubleheader. J. P. H. ARTILLERY AT CHICKAMAUGA. How the Boy* Are Fart oar—Waiting to Go to Camp. Chickamauga, Ga, Park Junction, May 17.—Indiana’s contingent of artillery has at last arrived at this pointThe Ft. Wayne battery has gone, and Is awaiting further orders before beginning the five-mile march from this point. The baggage and men have been unloaded to go to Chickamauga Park. i am sending this dispatch by messenger to Roseville, where there is a telegraph station. Our train wua unable to leave Chattar ooga last night, for the reason that the tracks between the city and the camp were filled with trains ready to unload tioops, and tha boys spent the night in the coaches at the Union yards. We left the city at 5:30 this morning, but have just left the cars at 8 o'clock. We made fires by the roadside on the way out, eating breakfast of hardtack, corned beef and coffee. On the grass just north of Lookoux mountain a five-mile march is before us. and the boys are now stretched out on the grass, waiting for ordera They have grown so accustomed to waiting in the last few days that they rather enjoy it. and no longer question the reason*. Lookout mountain rises on the west of us and Missionary ridge lies to the east. The historic ground has its effect on the artillerymen, and patriotism is on the rise. Several of the boys are missing this morning, having been left by the wayside at various stations on the road. Notwithstanding the strict orders issued to stay in the cars and the guards posted at the doors, the hoys would get out, and some failed to get baeg. It Is expected that they will follow at once. Most of these missing spent last night in Chattanooga. Our tram changed its position several times in the yards, and they were unable to find it when they came back from seeing the town. 1 Those who did get hack either of their own accord or because they were rounded up by a pro-

EDITOR TOWLE IS WROTHY

Bar of Soap with Each Drink, One of the curious things they discovered was a saloon, where a bar of soap is presented to each soldier boy who purchase* a drink. All the boys left the train for a short j time when the train pulied into Chattanooga at 4:30 yesterday afternoon. They ate everything in sight and laid in a I stock for the night. Many of them found j an opportunity to take much-needed j baths, and a few of them who would not } take the risk of getting too far away | from the trains took foot baths in a horse trough, and the townsmen were treated to the sight of some of IndUnapolis's aristocratic youths half undressed

in the public street.

The boys are all happy and jolly this morning. They do not know when they will get into camp, and they do not care. They take everything as it comes, and nothing bothers them but the flies, which are here in sw’arms. Rations for the noon meal have been issued to Battery A by Quartermaster-Sergeant Oliver, and we shall eat them here or carry them with us to Camp Thomas, if w’e march before noon. At 9:30 no ordet to move has been received, and we are

alone in the field

HENRY A. PALMER. — o

BATTERIES* OF m» WRATH ARE OPENED AGAINST JOCKEY CLUB.

The OffendinK Editorial Uncover* a Letter Which Muy Cut No Smalt Figure In a Threatened Invent igatl on.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Hammond, Ind.. May 17.—This city is shocked. A moral and political revolution is imoc-nding here because the editor of a newspaper has opened the batteries of his wrath against the officials of the Lakeside Jockey Club, and has rromised to make public a lot of secret history, which thus far has only reached the public ear In the form of gossip. The editor in question is Porter Bur-

banks Towle.

Hammond is not easily aroused. It hrs remained for the city officers who

CARNEGIE EXPECTS PEACE.

He Think* It will be in Sight Within Ten tiny*. New Y'ork. May 17.—Andrew Carnegie, discussing the Htepano-American war, said to a World correspondent in Pans last night: l “Peace will be in sight in ten days. I believe. I think the President will pursue the right course in sending to the Philippines a sufficient force to clear tho Spaniards out. "But I hope the day is distant when the United States will put their hands in the hornet’s nest of the far East, which the European nations are sitting on. There will be great wars in that region, and the best thing America can do is to keep out and stay out. "The Philippines are good collateral security, but the Philippines can not be a colony of the United States, and we can not grow Amercans there. "An Anglo-American alliance is a long look ahead. But I am certain as I am that I am living that Great Britain, with only 40.000,000 among the 300.000,000 of Europe, will have to look to America In the future, and that her great, giant son will have to take care of the old lady In her old age. Mr. Oiney is right. There is race patriotism, I am satisfied. "As to the Martinique incident, the governing men of France are in no wise culpable. I have reason to know that the instructions issued to all the French agents in that region are of the straightest character. “But in this war we have to reckon on the influence of race in a remarkable degree. The drawing together of the En-glish-speaking races is considered ominous upon the continent. We have the Catholic cGiurch against us and in favor of her brother Catholics in Spain. We have the best moneyed classes of France against us, because it is here that the Spanish debt is held. “A high authority told me this morning that France has four hundred millions of Spanish bonds, on which she has lost one hundred and fifty millions since the United States announced that they could stand the Cuban atrocities no longer. In additon, we have the old monarchical forces of France against us, people who hate the very name of republic. But still, the men who govern France are republican at hear^ and would be glad to see both Spain and Italy republics, too” o INCREASED WAGES ASKED.

The Green Bottle Blower*’ Associa-

tion Wants More Money. [Special to The Indianapolis News.]

Muncle, Ind., May U.-rAs a result of the increased prosperity irf«sglass circles, there will be a demand for a big increase In wages for next year’s work by the twenty thousand members of the Green Bottle Blowers' Association of the United States and Canada who are employed in the factories that makp fruit jars, insulators and the like. Already the men, through their wage committee, have outlined just what demands they will make on the manufacturers, and

wore displaced a few days ago to plunge the community into excesses that can scarcely be equaled by Chicago's City Council, and the city is aroused as never before in its history. If Editor Towle had not written a letter to Mayor Mott, demanding his share of the "graft,” the conditions might have continued unnoticed. out when the mayor, wfliose term is now drawing to a close, turned him down and threatened to give his letter to the press for publication. Editor Towle v r rote a column article, which was published cn the first page of his paper. Since then the people of Hammond have talked of nothing else but Towle's letter and the possible consequences that may follow the publication of the ex-

pose.

The Editorial ('auslng Alarm. Here is the ingenious article that caused cold chills to cavort up and down the spines of the sporting fraternity and precipitated a three-cornered row. If Judge Gillett thought the pool-room at Roby was bad with Its 560 patrons, what must he think of the race-track with its 5,000 or more gamblers every day. The time has oome when this terrible curse and blight upon our city chould be driven out. and that quickly. Roby ruined the former Reilley administration; it ruined the last city administration, and it certainly will ruin the present one. A reporter for the Leader visited the tracks yesterday. Such a crowd of thugs, plug-uglies, prostitutes, bummers, niggers, crooks and bums was never seen under one canvas at the same time. We saw hundreds of Hammond people there—some of them church members— betting money by the ton. There is no Indication there that hard times were ever known. Thousands of people seem to have money to burn, and they burn it up on the merry-go-round. It is not racing, for there never was a straight race run on any of the Hammond tracks. The races are "fixed,” and then the owners and members put up their money on a sure thing at the foreign pool-room, and thus rob a foolish and trusting public. This Roby gambling business has brought disrepute upon our fair city long enough. As the dog-fighters were driven out, so, too, must these defamers go, and that instantly. We have not entered into this thing for any other purpose but to drive out the Chicago gamblers. The Roby association itself is running all the books, so It will be easy to stop pool-selling, and, without the gambling feature, there will be no racing. We ask all moral citizens who desire to prevent these gamblers from making a dumping ground of Hammond for the outcasts of Chicago to lend moral support to our just course. This terrible curse has reached a point where it has become unendurable, and now let us unite to forever drive them out. Hundreds of our citizens, officials, merchants and men of high degree, are on the pay-roll of this terrible octopus which is eating the moral life of our city, ruining our boys and worse than killing our maidens. 'We ask the pulpit to join us in the raid on next Sunday, and prove to the world that at least the clergy have not been contaminated by the greed of this monster’s alluring gold. His letter to Mayor Mott is given in

full:

Fred R. Mott:

Dear Sir—I have concluded that unless the race-track people can give me something, as well as others not so worthy, at once to be-

gin a campaign against them, and not allow them to run. If you are interested in bfeving them run. you had better see them I know something about the business, and I know every name on the pay-roll. I can make it warm for them, and I am going to do it. When everybody else is getting boodle, I don’t

propose to starve for keeping still. I have run my paper for the race-trad

ever since they started: now I think they

should remember me. They can give me something and never feel It, and they have

got to do it, now, or have a row.

P. B. TOWLE.

Another Com muni eat Ion Excite* Attention.

the latter likewise have reached a decision as to what offers they will make their employes. The convention to arrange these matters will be held in this city in July. It Is understood that the men will ask for a restoration of the 15 per cent cut in wages made four years ago, and also that Saturday night work will be abolished. The manufacturers will, on the other hand, propose a still further decrease, but the amount contemplated is not known. The manufacturers hold that the use of blowing machines enables the workmen to make more money, and also that domestic competition has compelled them to reduce their margins of profit. The workmen insist that the improvement in industrial circles, notably in glass affairs, warrants the increase'asked. Glassjnanufacturers, the workmei say, are w>w making even more money than four years ago, and yet the advance asked will make wages only the same as were paid then. There are two thousand of these workmen in this city and about ten thousand In the Indiana gas belt. o “‘Swift Water Bill” Not Drowned. Seattle. Wash., May 17.—J. G. Wilson, of this city,! and James Wesley, of Tacoma., have arrived here from Dawson City, bringiiig ■with them edght hundred letters and $10,000 In gold dust. Mr. Wilsoii states that the report that W. C. Gatesj or "Swift-Water Bill,” and three other persons were drowned Is not true. He mqt them three days after the report was j brought to Dyea. A boat was w'recke4 at Thirty Mile and all the passengers yv&re drotyntd. It was not known how j many passengers the boat contained or! w'ho they were. Mr. Wilson estimates the amount of gold that will be brouight down from St. Michael on the first !»teamers at $25,000,000. The bulk of it wjlll be owned by between 100 and 125 men. Alexander McDonald alone wtiill have nearly 13,000,000. The news of the Spanish war had not reached Dawson when Wilson and Wesley left. j o A Hi*toT’ical Apple Tree Cut Away. Lawrenceburg, Ind., May 17.—Dr. J. H. House, in clearing ground for a new home, has <jut away a historical apple tree, which ztood on a lot owned by E. D. Moore, n^ar the Presbyterian church. The tree was planted nearly three-quar-ters of a century ago by Henry Ward Beecher, when he wa* pastor of the Presbyterian church in this place. It was sprouted on the historical Harrison farm, near North Bend, G.. and was given to the young preacher by the father of Benjamin Harrison. Beecher dug the tree up with his own hands and brought it here, planting it within the shadow of the primitive church where he conducted his first pastorate in Indiana. u Big Warehouse Deal. Portland, Ore., May 17.—The Pacific Ceaut Elevator Company's emire system of warehouses and elevators in Oregon, Idaho and Washington have passed out of the control of A. E. Peavy & Co., of Minneapolis, and is now the property of Theodore B. Wilcox, W. M. and C. E. Ladd, well-known bankers of Portland and owners of the Portland Flouring Mill Company's extensive plant. In the three States there are seventy warehouses and elevators, and the entire plant has a capacity of about 5.000,000 bushels of wheat. The consideration is understood to have been $1,000,000. o Dr. Froat’* New Place. Chicago, May 17.—The Times-Herald says: Dr. Edwin Brandt Frost, of Dartmouth College, will become a member of the faculty of the University of Chicago at the beginning of the next school

year.

Professor Frost is a graduate of Dartmouth, and ha* been an instructor at his alma mater, with the exception of two years spent In study abroad, ever since his graduation in 1886. At the Yerkes observatory he wfil devote special attention to the photographic study of stellar spectra with the large telescope.

Some time ago editor Towle printed a communication over the signature (pf "Merchant,” in the columns of the Deader, and it aroused a great deal of attention all over the city as well as the county. Immediately Captain Wells and a number of Condon and O’Leary cohorts began a systematic campaign to silence i the guns of the mouthplec# of the administration, and for a time they were successful. Since the expose made by The Indianapolis News, the public, or rather a part of it, took the matter up and was not indined to dismiss ft so easily. Now a careful inquiry is being made for the purpose of ascertaining how much truth there was -n the recent article printed in the Leader. The deeper they go into the subject the more rotten it appears, for It seems that the crimes which were only hinted at vaguely in Towle's paper are widspread in their influence and concern many prominent men. The race track feature of Hammond’s political immorality is only one phase, but just now it is the most conspicuous and Is attracting considerable attention. It <*ems that the managers of the race tm as have spared neither money nor ehurt to secure a favorable public sentiment for the enterprises, and have gone so far that a w’ell-knowm local gambler made the statement yesterday that he would rather have the pay-roll than the profits of the mammoth gambling tnsfiltution. And whe«n one considers the lavish manner in which favor was purchased, It is not hard to agree with him. Beginning with the city administration, it has ramifications through every grade of society, official and otherwrjse, and the charge is openly made that every man who possesses any influence is in the pay of the traca. Without the co-operation of Mayor Mott and the members of his cabinet it would be impossible for the race-tracks to operate, for the City Council ha* to grant them a license. When the councilmen had the licenses under consideration two years ago, previous to the meeting of the Sheffield and Forsuth courses, they agreed that a license fee of $75 a month would be enough. This has since be-in increased to $150 for each meeting of fifteen days, and that is all the city of Hammond gets out of the deal. In 1‘osition to Make Trouble. Sheriff Hayes, whose headquarters is at Crown Point, is in a position to make trouble for the track at any time he pleases. The last time he served warrants on the Roby people was on the afternoon of May 4. when the Roby Turf Exchange was closed at the Instigation of August Wolf, who swore out warrants in the Lake Circuit Court before Judge Gillett against eleven gamblers, Including the proprietors of the room. Hayc* reached Hammond from Crown Point at noon, and as he had papers with him, the object of his visit soon became known to everybody in the city. Sheriff Hayes went to the pool-room shortly after 2 o’clock, but he waited until the Last race was run at Oakland, and when the crowd was w^eil out of the building before he placed eleven men under arrest. The Investigators, who have taken up Editor Towle’s covered charges, are finding out a good many things that lead directly to hdivldual office-holders, but their evidence is so meager at the present time that they will not disclose names. An effort has been made to persuade Towle to give up the names on the pay-roll of which he speaks m his letter to Mayor Mott, but he is as closemouthed as an oyster at high tide. Interesting Reading. The list, it is believed, would certainly make interesting reading for the voters of Lake county, and would have a strong influence upon their votes when they elect a sheriff to succeed the present incumbent. One of the first discoveries made by the ii vestigators. who have been quietly at work for some time, was that a high official is on the pay-roll of the Roby track for $175 a week, and that the only sendee he renders is to preserve amity between the track-owners and the law. Another official, w'hose Influence Is less than the first-named, but who is, nevertheless, an

.mportant factor in the administration of the law, is the recipient of a salary of $10 a day, and it is claimed that his pay has been going on since the meeting at Lakeside closed, last November. Whether this ciaim is correct or not. is not know r ji. Other officials, so it is said, receive sums ranging from $50 a week down to $3 a dsy. None get less than $3 a day. The race-track management would scorn to pay less than that to any man for a day s work—at least that is the oplinion of Hammond. Dr. Edward C. Johnson, the physician who recently killed himself because of some domestic Infelicity, at one time occi pied the post of surgeon at the three tracks at a good salary. When the officials undertook to dismiss an assistant starter, who w r as his friend, he tried to have him retained. Failing to receive the si pport of the proprietors, he instituted injunction proceedings through former Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Wilber B. Reading, who has since removed to Whiting. _ Reading was so determined that somebody persuaded him to withdraw the

suit.

Thief Chamberlain to Condon. Champaign is now’ the chief chamberlain of John Condon, and all who transact any business with Condon must first secure a permit from Champaign. It may be stated In this connection that Champaign also at one time started a crusade against the Roby crowd, but for some reason or other the suits that he threatened to Institute "fizzled” before getting into court. There is a well-defined movement now on foot to organize a civic federation, and if the project is successful, one of the first move that the officers will have to investigate is the position of the new City Council that was inducted into office last Tuesday evening. That under-Mayor Mott’s administration the race-track gamblers had an easy time of It is glaringly apparent. The most direct statement of the old relations between the tracks and the officials comes from no less authentic a source than Jimmy O’Leary, who is one of the proprietors of the race track and the pool room. When his joint was recently closed he told a friend not only the names of the officials w’ho w’ere on the pay-rolls, but the exact amount that each received. O'Leary was wroth because his game was shut off; he felt like getting even with somebody. When he realized, however, that talk of that sort would imperil the Interests with which he was so intimately identified at the racing courses, he, too, assumed a sphinx-like silence. So much for the race track.

NOTE FOR BEER VALID.

Even When Given Under the lown Prohibition Law.

Des Moines. la., May 17.—Judge Woolson. of the United States Circuit Court, has rendered an important decision, wihich will be far-reaching in its effects on the low’a prohibition law. The case was that of the Columbia Brewing Company, of St. Louis, vs. VanVleet. The defendant resides at Pella, la., and was engaged in the sale of beer, contrary to law. The action was on a note given for the beer. The defendant set up the plea that the note was uncollectable because the sale was illegal under the Iowa law. He also filed a counter claim for $36,000, for money paid plaintiff for beer, in addition to the amount of the note. Judge Woolson ruled that the note given by the defendant in Iowa for beer purchased of plaintiff in Missouri was valid, and, further, that the money paid by defendant for beer ordered by him of plaintiff in Missouri could not be recovered back. A verdict was returned against defendant VanVleet for $9,000. * STRANGE AND HORRIBLE DEATB.

A Boy Overload* Hi* Stomach with Pie Plant and Soon Die*.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Liberty, Ind., May 17.—Frankie Davis, seven years oid, living near here, died yesterday afternoon under strange and horrible conditions. While in his father's garden he ate very freely of rhubarb, devouring the plant raw. He also ate very freely of rhubarb pie at dinner, and during the afternoon he again returned to the garden and ate of the pie-plant. Soon after he was found on the ground, rolling and screaming in agony. A physician was called, but too late to afford permanent relief; the lad soon dying in terrible agony. Tapering red worms of various lengths appeared just before the boy’s death, crawling from his mouth, nose and ears. The physicians report that the stomach gave way because of the large amount of gas generated by the

rhubarb.

o FROM CHICAGO TO HAMMOND.

Pennsylvania Shops and Yard to be

Moved to Indiana.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Hammond, Ind., May 17.—The Pennsylvania company will close a deal this week to move its mammoth shop* and yards from Fifty-fifth street, Chicago, to this city. The price repotted to have been paid for the new sit.e is $60,000. Tho tract comprises sixty-five acres tnear Berry lake, and Is advantageously situated for yard purposes. It is connected with four trunk line* and two belt lines. The move of the railroad company in seeking new quarters for its shops and yards in Hammond was made imperative by a recent order passed at Chicago to raise the tracks. The removal of the shops moans much for the northern part of the State, and may result in a number of other companies locating In Lake county.

TO RESTORE THE FLAGS. ADVERTISEMENTS

Gov. Bushnell Thinks the Present a Good Time to Do It.

Cincinnati, O., May 17.—A special to the Enquirer from Columbus, O.. says: Seated at his desk in the executive department yesterday afternoon Governor Bushnell talked interestingly in reference to some of the effects of the war

with Spain.

“One of the most beneficent results to the American people,” said he, “is already at hand. It is the obliteration of sectional lines and the union of North and South in one loving, loyal, patriotic brotherhood. No people could be more devoted to our country in its troublesome times than are thqae of the sunny Southland. They have buried every bitter memory a hundred fathoms deep, and stand shoulder to shoulder with the North for one flag and one nation. "The ties that bind the whole people together now can never again be severed. In the future, either in sunshine or In storm, the American peope will be but one people, and in this rests the greatest element of our country’s strength. “Now that time and the progress of civilization have produced an entirely different situation from that of the past, and have engendered and cherished a complete alteration of sentiment upon I believe that no relic of th^ old days should remain where it would not serve to cement thl® great brotherhood of men of all sections. You ask whether the Confederate flags should be returned to the South. I say without hesitation that such action on the part of this Government would be right and proper. I do not believe there Is a man In, all the North, with a just conception of what is best for the country, who will object to restoring to the South the old flags they fought under. It is net Hhe soabtaems which they represented at otte tlftie that we would restore. It is simply the associations that hover about them. Many of those old banners were presented to the Confederate soldiers by the young ladles of the South—ladles who were then sweethearts and sisters, ladies who are now mothers and grandmothers. They would be gratified to have them, not for the memory of the cause they represented at one time, but as mementos of the valor of loved ones who fought bravely, although they were mistaken. Bygones should now be bygones, and in the light of this dawn of a new era in American citizenship I believe that the victors can afford to be generous. Nothing should be leit undone to keep ever at flood-tide the harmony and love that now prevail between North and South.” NARROW ESCAPE FROM DROWNING.

An Attempt to Cross a Swollen Stream Ends Disastrously.

[Special to The Indianapolis News.] Dillsboro, Ind., May 17.—While attempt-

ing to cross Laughry creek at Conaway s ford, yesterday evening, William Bailey, of this place, together with his wife, his six-months-old baby and his sister-in-law, Miss Della Jenkins, of Pate, Ind., came near being drowned. They drove Into the swollen stream not knowing’it was past fording. When about midway of the creek the waters ran over the buggy seat. In his efforts to restrain the frightened women from jumping from the buggy, Mr. Bailey dropped the lines and the horse gave a lunge, broke loose from the buggy and swam ashore.

The buggy drifted down stream for

fifty feet, and where It lodged was only five feet above a fifteen-foot hole. The cries of Mr. Bailey were heard by Hamilton Conaway, a farmer, and he ran to the creek. There being no skiff on his side of the stream he hurried back home and hitched two farm horses to a heavy road wagon and drove into the creek and rescued the occupants of the buggy from their perilous position. Bailey’s buggy was almost a total wreck when found two miles below, and a valise containing

clothing and valuables was lost. PREPARING FOR THE CONVENTION.'
