Adjutant General Corbin said to-day that it was the present intention to keep 100,000 to 125,(00 or the volunteer soldiers in service until peace is permanently declared a consummation which is not looked for until next winter or spring. Preparations are already under way for the comfort of the army during cold weather. When the frosts of autumn set in it will be found that they have plenty of blankets and warm clothing, and when that time arrives the regulation army rations which now furnish ground for complaint may he found exceedingly palatable and desirable. A strenuous frflort will be made, however, to improve this ration in otic particular. The endeavor will be to introduce a streak of lean into the bacon which enters so largely Into the soldiers’ bill of fare. One of the bitterest complaints made by the volunteers who have been in camp throughout the South during the summer months is that the pork they get is all fat and as guiltless of substance as the blubber of a whale. These great blankets of solid fat from the abdominal region of 800-pound porkers generally go into the lard tanks of the great packing houses, but the idea seems to have found lodgement In the commissary department that it would he excellent food to make soldiers of the volunteers. The claim is made that a large per cent, of the debilitating. wasting sickness which has prevailed in some of the. camps is due largely to this ration of fat pork None of it sticks to the ribs. Tills is a matter which Is being looked into and an improvement in that part of the volunteers' diet will probably r-suit.

LUCKY CHAMPIONS. Win u Seesaw (lame by Streaks of Brilliancy. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. DETROIT, Mich., Aug. 31.—The Detroit and Indianapolis teams closed their series to-day and the champions have won fourteen out of twenty games. The one to-day was close, but very interesting for all that. The Hoosiers were outfielded, hut the Tigers could never make hits off Scott when they were needed; For five innings the score was 1 to 1. In the sixth, with two out, McFarland scored the first run for Indianapolis with his walk to first, Motz's double and Nicholl's single. Dungan scored for Detroit In the first inning on his single, Dillard's single and Lynch’s passed ball. Both pitchers then did excellent work for four innings and were well supported, Stewart's bad throw on an attempted double letting the runner to second, being the only break. McFarland again started the trouble in the ninth and Sammy Nicholl again completed it. Mac hit one through Briggs and Sammy hammered out a three-bagger, scoring on Elberfeld's bad throw to third. The champions had two men on bases in the eighth and the Tigers had three in the fourth, with no one out, but three men popped up flies. In the eighth Dillard got his fourth consecutive hit and scored on two errors by Kahoe and a passed ball. Kahoe was confused by Hickey on the second grounder he fumbled. He had taken the place of Allen in the sixth, the captain being ill. Lynch prevented Ganzel tying the game by catching him on the third base line on a short “bluff" throw to Scott while Stallings was stealing. Two Tigers were left on the lines in the ninth.

English papprs are arguing at length on the origin of the term “yellow journalism,'’ and take it for granted that it Is American. But is it not the lineal descendant of “yellow literature,“ which flourished so amazingly during the era of “The Yellow Aster,” and which we owe to the more degenerate part of English authorship? From the Yellow Book to the yellow nevrspapet is not a long leap, and some of the designs for the former are as idiotic as the "Yellow Kid," who is now quite unjustly charged with the sons et origo of the new journalism.

SAVANNAH IN RUINS — DESTRUCTIY’E STORM SWEEPS AWAY MUCH PROPERTY. ♦ Telegraphic Communication In Cut Off uud It la Feared Matty Lives Are Lost. ♦ ATLANTA., Ga., Aug. 31.—A heavy storm is sweeping along the coast. The wind at Savannah has blown a gale since 9 o'clock last night, reaching a velocity of about sixty miles an hour at this time (3 a. m.) Telephone connection with Tybee island is cut off and nothing has been heard from there since early in the night. There is much fear for the shipping there and at quarantine. The lowlands are flooded and heavy damage to rice and cotton will result. Railroad tracks are washed out and trains on all roads are delayed. At 4 o’clock this morning the wind reached a velocity of seventy-five miles an hour and rain is pouring in torrents. The streets are filled, with debris. The last report from Tybee eariy in the night was that the wind was blowing seventy miles ar. hour and the operator in the signal station was just leaving for the lighthouse for safety. The quarantine station Is believed to have been abandoned before the, escape of the occupants was cut off. The officials of the Western Union Telegraph Company report to-day that Savannah is completely isolated, no connection being made to that city from any point. The only places reached by wire are Charleston, S. C., and Jacksonville, Fla. The telegraph compary has put on a force of extra men at Augusta, to which city all business for Savannah is being sent. From there it goes by train. The storm, which came up the coast, evidently took to the water before it reached Charleston, and after traveling about one hundred miles again came to land and started northward. About fifteen vessels put in here during the afternoon, and toward night several more ran in, reporting a terrible “blow” outside. The Atlanta Journal has the following dispatch from Savannah, Ga., sent from that city at 8.30 o’clock this morning by train, and put on the wires at Millen: “So far as can be learned no lives were lost in the gale; that is directly in the city. The adjoining islands are to be heard from. These reports may add to the horrors of the storm, giving some deaths. Communication with Tybee, Georgia's seaside resort, cannot be had at this hour. There are about five hundred people at Tybee, many of whom are United States troops, both volunteers and regulars. The North Carolina troops are there. The island is directly upon the ocean and was exposed to the fullest extent to the gale. There are other resorts to he heard from. Wilmington island has three pundred people on it, and there are about as many on Island Hope, another resort. The road to the latter place is blocked ny fallen trees. “Savannah presents a terrible aspect. Roofs of houses are scattered through the streets and in the public squares wires of the telephone, telegraphic, electric light and street-car systems make the streets impassable for vehicles. The loss to property owners will be fully SIOO,OOO. "There must be much suffering on the islands near Savannah. These are inhabited by negroes, who raise vegetables and such things for a living. Their habitations are rude huts: these could not have stood against last night's winds and when an investigation comes it will he found, no doubt, that many of these islanders are dead.”

Md., Aug. 31.—Orders have been received here from the President directing Admiral Cervera to make the arrangements to proceed with his officers and men back to Spain immediately.

It is understood that they will return without giving parole. Captain Eulate left this afternoon for New York. All Naval Prisoners Released. WASHINGTON. Aug. 31.— Acting Secretary Allen has authorized the release of all of the Spanish naval prisoners captured in the battle of July 3 from Cervera's fleet. These are now at Annapolis and Seavey's island, Portsmouth harbor, the officers being at the academy and the sailors at the island. The condition of the men physically is all that could be desired. The prisoners are to he returned to Spain at the expense of the Spanish government. That was the condition on which our government agreed to release them without parole or other restriction. Admiral Cervera was charged by his government with the arrangements for the transportation of the prisoners. They are all to go together, officers and men. and it is presumed that Captain Eulate has gone to New York to charter the two Spanish steamers now lying there. STEEL AND WIRE TRUST. Western Companies Asked to Join tlie Great Combine. CHICAGO, Aug. 31.—The Tribune says: Tha. American Steel and Wire Company, of this city, organized last April by the consolidation of companies controlling 75 per cent, of the production of wire and barbed wire in the United States, has received formal overtures to become a party to the great iron and steel combination now- being consummated in New York. In response to telegrams from the leading promotors of the big deal now in the East President John Lambert, of the American Steel and Wire Company, together with four directors and principals of the company, I. L. Ellwood, William Edingern, Alfred Clifford and S. H. Chisholm, have left to attend the conference in New York, at which they will be prepared to present statements that their company Is willing to join in the deal with the Illinois Steel, the Minnesota Iren, the Lorain Steel ana the Elgin. Joilet and Eastern Iron Company, which, together, are to make up the new “Federal Steel Company.” The American Steel and Wire officials, before starting, stated that their acceptance of the proposition to become a party to the new steel company would be contingent on the stock of that company being

allowed to come in on a basis by which it could share fully and fairlv in the pros* pective benefits of the consolidation. The participation of the American Steel and Wire Company in the combine with companies that mine and transport iron ore and convert it into steel will add enormously to the scope of the new corporation, and it will give it almost complete command of all the diversified branches of one of the greatest industries of the United States. The new* company's business will include the various processes of production and distribution from the mining of ore in the Lake Superior region to the manufacture rs armor plate for war vessels and of barbed wire for the fences of farmers throughout the land. BIG STAKE RACE GOES OVER Grattan Boy, Carocalla and Belle J. Each Have Two Heats. READVILLE. Mass., Aug. 31.—The chief event at the Grand Circuit races to-day was the Massachusetts Stake, for trotters, and, while six brisk heats were worked off. it went over until to-morrow, the Cleveland mare Carocalla, the Macon (Ga.) horse Grattan Boy and the New Haven mare Belle J. being left to settle it between them, with two heats apiece. The favorius had no show in the event. Directum Kelly did not start, as he was ill, and Malcom Forbes’s gelding Nieo, the favorite, was drawn after two heats. Mattie Patterson, who was considered a dark horse, met more than her match. After taking two heats straight Carocalla broke in the first quarter in the two succeeding heats and was apparently laid up in the fifth, expecting the race to go over. it looked as if a finish would come in the sixth, but Grattan Boy w r as strongest and added another lirst to his score. Battleton, with Geers up, being distanced in the* lirst heat, was much commented on. The race next in interest was the 2:20 class trot. Chanty won, but the finish, with Nigger Jack and Celibate, was very close, noses counting. In the second heat Nigger Jack led, but got set back lor running, and the same fate happened to Chanty in the next heat, after winning at the wire. The pretty event was the pacing stake for three-year-olds, in which Sylvan Way won, after distancing in the second McJoe, who had won in the first. The second heat was one of the fastest in the class this season. The unfinished 2:17 trot from yesterday went to Parnell, jr., two straight heats, in easy shape.

To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal: History may yet date the greatest change in human government for many centuries from the singular proposal with which the Russian Czar startled the whole civilized world on Sunday. The mere fact that the proposal came whence, and when it was least to be expected, ought to increase confidence in its ultimate realization. Os all civilized nations, Russia would have been

Ny BOILER FEEDER

justly supposed to be the last from which an invitation to an international peace conference would have been expected; and within the past twenty years no time could have seemed less propitious for the inauguration of such a policy. Russia is being jealously watched bv all the other powers interested in the far East, where she seems to be entering upon a policy of territorial aggrandizement hitherto unparalleled in her relentless march across the continent of Asia. Her resources for the equipping and maintenance of vast armies probably surpass those of any other notion. For besides having an unequaled territory and population to draw upon, her government can command the absolute submission of every subject as no other great power can. Yet not from England, with her enlightened conceptions of the kinship of all nations, not from France or Italy, staggering under the weight of vast armaments, sunported !>v the very men who are also the nation's rulers, not even from Germany, with its speculative tendencies and erratic Emperor, but from despotic, half-savage Russia, from “The Great White Czar.” who holds the life of every subject in his royal keeping, comes this frank admission of the terrible waste and folly of war and an invitation to other powers to consider methods for its final abolition—an invitation so statesmanlike and earnest that foreign criticism and incredulity were largely disarmed in advance. It would be very easy to point out the enormous difficulties in the way of such a humane consummation. Perhaps the chief and most insurmountable one is that a great council of nations must be created that will assume the right and exercise the autnority to settle all international disputes that cannot be otherwise peacefully adjusted; yet a federation of kindred or contiguous nations for the regulation of international issues is an increasingly needful step in the march of civilization; for every year nations are drawn nearer together, their joint and diverse interests become more complicated, and the necessity for a competent international tribunal more imperative. Seizing a fortunate time, Bismarck bound together the jealous, discordant principalities that make up the German empire. The last twenty years of his foreign diplomacy was directed mainly toward forming combinations that would prevent a European war. What he succeeded in doing temporarily by defensive alliances, some future statesman will do permanently by some sort of international union or compact that will subsitute for the savagery and waste of war forcible submission to some more enlightened arbitrament. Universal peace is not a dream of enthusiasts, but the onlyrational solution of the present intolerable policy of increasing armaments. Russia, which has twice the mi’’iary strength of any other power, confesses herself weary of the burden. The German Emperor finds it increasingly difficult to wring army and navy supplies from the. Reichstag. Austria and Italy are on the verge of bankruptcy. Is it a violent assumption to suppose that these nations, or the first three, migot band themselves together at the proposed conference in some sort of anti-war league that might go a long way toward a practical solution of the problem ? Now. if the union was so framed as to make it very desirable to other nations to participate in its advantages and very dangerous to resist its authority, one of the greatest and most beneficent governmental changes in human history might be inaugurated without waiting for the millennial era to reform th* temper of men and nations. Statesmanship is or nygln to be enlightened common cense. Rismaarmed Prussia to the teeth, a.*the only of accomplishing German unity. Other nations had perforce to follow his example. They have gone on raising and equipping fresh levies each year. Either now or in the near future this policy- must break down of its own weigiit. There is but one way to avert this catastrophe. It is to compel the submisssion of international differences to some more rational settlement than that of the heaviest battalions. The L T nited States, while still comparatively exempt from the curse of militarism, ought :o lend all its influence in aid of this world reform. J. Q. DONNELL. Kingston, Ind., Aug. 31. A Fnnlty System. Philadelphia Record. What is above all else desirable and necessary. however, is an intelligent, searching and dispassionate inquiry- into the system of the War Department which rendered possible the multiform mischiefs which have assailed our soldiers from the outset of the war. The military- staff departments were overtaxed, it is said; and so they were, beyond a doubt. All the more important is it that the people should know how it came about that expert staff officers were pitchforked by scores and hundreds into line positions of higher rank in the volunteer army, while the momentous and vital work in which they' had been so carefully trained was handed over largely to green civilians, pet proteges of men of influence in the department and the purely ornamental human appendages which hang like a frowsy fringe upon every- army in the field. Why was the regular army- nucleus of an efficient staff department broken up and rendered almost yseless. just at the time when its services were most urgently required? An honest, truthful and complete answer to this and kindred questions would go far toward solving future problems of our military organization. and to vindicate the administration from the charge of willful complicity in the losses and damage due to persistent official blunders which are gradually taking on the aspect of crimes against the Nation. Worth Reflecting; On. Kansas City Journal. All the same, the War Department w-ould like to see any of its critics prepare a war in so short a time and come out of it with better results and fewer mistakes.
