Ceylon, June 21 The cruiser Olympla, with Admiral Dewey on board, arrived here at 6 o'clock a. m. from Singapore Juno 13. saluted the forts ashore and was saluted by the latter In return. An aid-de-camp representing: the governor of Ceylon. Rt. Hon. Sir Joseph A. West-Ridge-way, boarded the Olympla at 7 o'clock this morning In order to -welcome. Admiral Dewey, and Colonel Savage, commanding the troops, called at 10 o'clock. The visits were returned by Admiral Dewey at 11 o'clock. He was received at the Jetty by a guard of honor, and amidst cheering drove in the governor's carriage to breakfast with Colonel Savage. The admiral afterwards booked rooms at the Galloface Hotel and returned on board the Olympla at 1 o'clock. There ho received a deputation representing the Planters' Association and the Chamber of Commerce and was presented with a silver casket and an address as a memento of his visit. The presentation of the casket was made on board the Olympla instead of in the council chamber because the admiral's doctor had forbidden him to participate in any Official function. The delegates also presented 1,000 pounds of tea to the crew of the Olympla. The admiral, replying to the address of welcome, said he wished he could reply In adequate terms reciprocating the sentiments expressed. But, he added, he spoke from his heart when ha eald he deeply appreciated the welcome, lie said he would have the very acceptable rresent cf tea distributed as desired, Incidentally mentioning that he was a life-long tea drinker himself, and assuring the delegation that the address would be read at "muster" and afterwards framed and preserved. The casket, he remarked, he would always keep on hl3 table, and he told the delegation that he would report the matter to his government and describe the cordiality of his reception. Continuing, Admiral Dewey remarked: "That cheer raised on the Jetty when I landed went to the hearts of all of us. We are H.OuO miles from home, but that cheer will be heard in America, although the way in which it has touched me I shall never be able to fully express. The two nations were never so closely allied by mutual sympathy and appreciation as now. The American people realized this during the late war, and you can imagine how all those who were at Manila and met Sir Edward. Chichester (commander of the British first-class cruiser Iramortalite) and his gallant comrades hold that feeling very deeply." A general conversation followed, and after toasting the Anglo-Saxon union and the prosperity of the two countries the delegation departed. Admiral Dewey says It is Improbable that he will go to Kandy and that he intends staying In Colombo about a week. He says he had a good voyage from Singapore and that his health is fairly good. COL, ARfit'ELLES'S FATE, Sent to Frlscn, Inatead of Being; Shot by Filipinos for Treason. MANILA, June 22. Details of the sentencing of Colonel Arguelles, a Filipino commissioner, to twelve years imprisonment, have Just been received here. It was at first reported that his condemnation by the Filipinos was due to the friendship he displayed towards Americans, but the information Just received shows the accusation against him was not based on his pea;e conferences at Manila, as supposed, but that hl3 advocacy of autonomy among the Insurgents was treated as treason. The charge against the colonel was that In conversation with Filipino officers- he predicted that disorders within the Insurgent territory would lead to civil war, and. therefore, he said he considered autonomy under the Americans preferable to Independence. The Filipino Congress tried him on the charge of treason and a heated debate over autonomy followed. Finally, the colonel'was sentenced to death, but this was commuted to twelve years' imprisonment on account of his previous services to the cause, after an eloquent plea upon the prt of hl3 counsel. CoL Arguelles ts one of . the most conservative and respected men identified with the insurrection. The rebels have learned that the American volunteers are returning to the United States, and the Filipino newspapers show that Ihey construe this to mean that the Americans are abandoning the war and are encouraged thereby. The outposts of the Washington regiment yesterday captured Gen. rio del Fllar's brass band of eighty-two pieces, the members of which somehow became separated from the rebel army, and came near the American lines without having the means of resistance. Some Chinamen of Manila have filed a claim against the instruments, which. It appears, were leased by the musicians of Gen. Flo del Pilar. Four of the wounded of the Fourth Infantry's recent fight with the rebels have died In hospital. v Sailed for the Philippines. .

JESTER CAPTURED. Mnrderer Who Has Evaded Arrest for Twenty-Eight Years. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., June 22. Sheriff Nelson, of Audrian county, was here today and received a requisition from Governor Stephens for the return to that county for trial for murder of Alexander Jester, who is under arrest at Shawnee, O. T. Jester Is wanted for killing Gilbert Gates, near Warrensburg, Mo., in 1S71. He broke Jail and escaped to Oklahoma, where he has since resided and accumulated much property. A sister notified the sheriff of the whereabouts of Jester. Alex. Jester Hoosler Experience. Special to th Indianapolis Journals Y.'INCIIESTER, Ind., June 23.-Apropos the article which appeared In this morning's Journal relative to the whereabouts of Alex. Jester, the murderer of Gilbert Gates. John Howard, of this city, and at that time, 1S71, a resident of the little town of Losantville, in the southwest j.art of this county, relates the following: "The year of the murder Alex Jester had a brother, Isaac Jester, rerldlng In Losantville, where he sold bad whisky from a quart dive. Some time after the reyear of the murder Alex. Jester came to his brother's home, driving the team and having In his possession a tame buffalo which had been the property, as was afterward learned, of the murdered Gates. Jester remained about his brother's a few weeks and left. Within a day or two of his leaving officers who were in pursuit of him came to the town and picked up such particulars of him as could be secured. Later word came of his arrest at Wichita." Mrs. Cornelia Street, his sister, who has betrayed his present whereabouts, also once resided at Losantville. WILLIE TASCOTT AGAIN, This Time He Ia Said to Hare Betrayed Himself In Ills Sleep. CHICAGO, June 22. Information as to the whereabouts of a man supposed by the Informant to bo William B, Tascott, who in February of 1SSS murdered Millionaire Amos J. SnelL of this city, was furnished Clerk William Murphy at detective headquarters to-day. The man who thinks he has discovered the murderer, for whom the Chicago police have been searching eleven years, Is Louis Miller, of Black Rock, Ark. Miller came to Chicago for the sole purpose of notifying the police of the whereabouts of the supposed murderer. He told Clerk Murphy that he was positive of the Identification of the man. Miller's Information is based on statements made by the man In his sleep. When questioned as to whether he saw any scars on the supposed Tascott, Miller said he had not, but explained that hehad. not looked for any. He said, however, that ho would return and endeavor to secure more evidence and -would then communicate with the Chicago police. Miller is the owner of many boats plying on the Mississippi river, Black and SL Francis rivers. The man whom he suspects of being the notorious murderer, and whose name he refused to give, is a fainter. A GREATER GRAND ARMY. Proposition. That May Be Submitted at the Next Encampment. ST. LOUIS. June 21-Tho Post-Dispatch says that at the next annual encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic, which will be the closing ono of the nineteenth century, a resolution will be introduced by an Illinois member to perpetuate It and take into it the veterans of the navy as well aa of the army. It will be proposed to change the name to "The Grand Army and Navy of the Republic' The resolution will call for the amendment of the- constitution so as to admit all soldiers and sailors who ever fought for the Union, all who aro fighting for it now and all who may hereafter fight for the flag and the principles which it represents. The reason for the movement Is the fact that the O. A. R. Is In progress of speedy and certain and ultimate extinction by reason of having nothing to recruit from. It is probable the commander-in-chief will be memorialized to appoint a committee to consider the proposition and take the necessary steps to change the name and constitution at the next encamp- - ment. TO ESCAPE THE RUSSIAN YOKE Many Prosperous Finns Coming to the United State. NEW YORK, June 22.-It is said at the barge office that there is a steady, gradual increase in the immigration of Finns. There were ninety on the New York when last she arrived at this port, and there were about as many on the Umbrla. During the month of May 570 Finns were passed through the barge office. This is a decided Increase over last year about 50 per cent. The commissioners have not been informed of the departure of large parties, though there is much said of the preparation of many parties. The immigrants are said to be of an excellent class not, apparently, driven from their country by poverty, but by stress of other circumstances, called the oppression of Russian officials. It is described as not a flight from starvation or even from prospective want It Is the simple departure of the youth of the nation, prosperous, well clad, with money in Its pocket, determined to seek its fortune elsewhere rather than come under the Russian knout. TO FREE JOHN C. ENO. Motion to Dismiss Indictments Against the Notorious Defaulter. NEW YORK. June 22. A motion was made in the Court of General Sessions today to dismiss the ball of John C. Eno, former president of the Second National Bank, who defaulted for X3.COO.O0O of the bank's money and fled to Canada. There were twelve Indictments found against Eno June 11. ISM. Eno came back from Canada Feb. 1, 1SS3, after hl3 father had made good the loss to the bank. And was admitted to H0.0O) ball, his bond being furnished by Benjamin Knower and J. Hicks Bloodgoodj. of this city. The district attorney's office made the application for the dismissal of bail, stating that the defendant had never displayed aii desire to evade the Jurisdiction of the court since his admission to ball. A letter from the officials of the Second National Bank was preaeoitd. In which they stated they would be satirlied with any disposition of the case the ccurt might make. The Jude took the papers,

NEW MINISTRY

3L WALDECK-ROCSSEAU SUCCESSFFJL OX THE SECOND TRIAL. Was Asked Again to Do What Others Had Failed, and Completed Ilia Work In Less than Two Days. WILL ASSUME PREMIERSHIP AND RELIEVE M. DUPUY AND HIS COLLEAGUES THIS MORNING. 3Iarqol De Galllfet, Who lias Been Favorable to Dreyfus, Flaced at the Head of the War Office, WILL REFORM ARMY METHODS HE SAYS THE OFFICERS ARE DOING TOO MUCH TALKING, Views of SI. Mlllerand, a Radical Socialist, nnd the New minister of Commerce Secrecy as to Dreyfus. PARIS, June 22. The Cabinet problem has been solved at last. Senator WaldeckRousseau has succeeded on the second trial. He was called to the palace by President Loubet this morning and asked to try his hand at Cabinet making again. He consented, and after conferring with a number of politicians announced (his evening that he had completed his task. The senator, accompanied by the new Cabinet ministers, proceeded to the Elysee Palace at 6:10 p. m. to present his colleagues to President Loubet. The new Cabinet as organized follows: M. WALDECK-ROUSSEAU, president of the council of ministers and minister of the Interior. M. DBLCASSE, foreign affairs. GEN. MARQUIS DE GALL1FET, minister of war. M. DE LANESSAN, minister of marine. M. MONIS, minister of Justice. M. CAILLAUX, minister of finance. M. MILLERAND, minister of commerce. M. LEYGUES, minister of public instruction. M. DE CRAIS. minister of the colonies. M. JEAN DUPUY, minister of agriculture. M. PIERRE DAUDN, public works. On leaving the Elysee Palace M. Wal-deck-Rousseau visited M. Dupuy, the retiring premier, to whom he presented the President's decree naming him the new premier. The new Cabinet will meet tomorrow. The appointment of Gen. Marquis De Galllfet as minister of war is an extraordinary example of the way in which the Dreyfus case has revolutionized political conditions. For years past the general has been the bugaboo of the extremists, not only because of his monarchical sympathies, but on account of the rigorous manner in which he took part in repressing the Commune. His entry into the. Cabinet Is undoubtedly due to his attitude towards the Dreyfus case, which has been throughout favorable to Dreyfus, although ho hold3 that the proclamation of the prisoner's innocence should not Include placing the responsibility for the apparent Judicial blunders on the general staff. Senator Waldeck-Rousseau entered Parliament from Rennes, where he once practiced law. Lo Courreur du Solr publishes an Interview this evening with Gen. Marquis De Galllfet, the new minister of war, who is represented as saying: "I am reproached for my attitude In 1S7L At that time I served the majority, the constitution and the law as a soldier on the active list. I have remained silent until now. To-day t find the army talking far too much. I am, as I was thirty years ago, at the service of the majority, the constitution and the law." The minister of commerce, Alexandre Millerand, Radical Socialist, in an Interview published by the same paper is reported as saying: "The Republicans have concluded an armistice in order to meet the enemies of the republic and to restore things to their proper places in the army, the magistracy and the administration." The new Cabinet is a strong combination and Is wholly in favor of Dreyfus, but, since it contains such extreme men as Marquis De Galllfet and M. Millerand, it can hardly be expected to have a long career. The Socialist party has already declared that they will not in any way be bound by or responsible for M. Millerand's acts as a minister. The latter, however, is a powerful debater, who will shars with M. Waldeck-Rousseau the brunt of defending the Cabinet In th chamber, most of the other ministers being far less skilled In debate. M. Waldeck-RousTau, who Is perhaps the most successful pleader at the French bar, loses an Income of 20,000 by becoming minister. M. De Lanessan, minister of marine. Infamous for his advocacy of an AngloFrench entente. M. Jean Dupuj-, minister of agriculture. Is no relation of tho former premier. Except in connection with the Dreyfus affair, the new Ministry has little interest and Is received rather coolly. The Dreyfusltes are delighted, and the anger of the antl-Dreyfusltes knows no bounda Its opponents predict that the Cabinet will fall next Monday, owing to the Incongruous combination cf Marquis De Gallifet and M. Millerand. It is understood that the new Cabinet will permit a meeting between Dreyfus and his wife. Brest remains calm. Its inhabitants are for the great part Dreyf usites, and it is said there would be no danger of a hostHe demonstration even if Dreyfus landed during the day time. Wanted Dreyfus Reconvicted. LONDON, Juno 23. M. Do Blowitz, the Pari correspondent of the Time, says: "M. Guiliian, the outgoing minister f the colonies, had the audacity to say yesterday that he was 'waiting for Justice to pronounce In the ca3e of Dreyfus. This rroves that the Dupuy Cabinet wanted Dreyfus condemned again, in order to absolve the Dupuy Cabinet of 1S34, who was compromised equally with Mercler, but in this strange affair, In moments of supreme crisis, some unforseen event always Intervenes to prevent the triumph of iniquity. Fauro's death and Dupuys fall again save the situation." SECRECY AT RENNES. No Information Given Oat Concerning: Pinna for Dreyf oi'a Trial. RENNES, France, June 22. There U absolute ignorance here of the date of the arrival of Alfred Dreyfus. The town Is quiet.

Workmen have completed placing additional bars across the window of the cell latended for the prisoner. The local newspapers are protesting this Indignity, asserting that Dreyfus ought to be treated merely as an accused officer and not as a criminal. LONDON, June 23. The correspondent of the Daily Mail at Rennes, describing the excitement in the town and the fruitless efforts of newspaper men to obtain Information, says: "Everything 13 shrouded in mystery. The cell for Dreyfus Is comfortably furnished in the usual style of officers quarters. It has two windows, one of them overlooking the street. He will be treated with every consideration and all the formalities due his rank as a captain of artillery will be scrupulously observed. Madame Dreyfus has not arrived, but everybody expresses the greatest sympathy with her. M. Basch, the Jewish gentleman who has placed hi3 house at her disposal. Is terrified at the rancor of the anti-Dreyfusites. I had the greatest difficulty to persuade him to speak. He says his house is watched day and night and he and hi3 wife have been Insulted to such an extent that he has had to challenge a local editor to a duel. The editor, however, prefers to make a public apology. M. Basch's apprehensions are mainly for Captain Dreyfus, as he believes that members of the Patriotic League will attempt to assassinate him. He says the procurateur general has gone on a mysterious mission to-day, which M. Basch believes to mean the arrival of Dreyfus. Several members of the Patriotic League are already here and M. Drumont (editor of the Libre Parole) is expected to-night." Where Dreyfus Will Land. PARIS, June 21 The semi-official Temps this evening says Dreyfus will be landed at the arsenal at Brest, and that the gates will then be rigorously closed to everybody. Immediately afterwards the prisoner will be placed on board a train and taken to Rennes.

SNEAK THIEF CAPTURED STOLE SIO.OOO FR03I THE nOSTON METROPOLITAN NATIONAL BANK, Took the Train for New York, and Waa Arrested on Arrival All the Money Recovered An Old Offender. BOSTON, June 22. A sneak thief entered the Metropolitan National Bank to-day and stole SIO.OCO while the paying teller's attention was drawn away for a moment. A welldressed man, apparently twenty-eight years cf age, entered the bank at about 11 o'clock and at the teller's window asked for some Instruction about sending a money order. The teller gave the Information desired and the stranger stood at the counter, apparently making notes. Just then the teller was called to another part of the office and the visitor quickly thrust his arm through the grating of the window and took fifty $100 notes and five $1,000 notes and escaped. A Chlcagoan, of Coarse. NEW YORK, June 22. Detectives from the central office arrested the Boston bank robber as he alighted from a train at the Grand Central Station to-night at 6 o'clock. Tho stolen money was found on his person. He gave his name as George Shea, and said he was twenty-one years old. His real name is Philip Zambele. He lives In Chicago and is a well-known crook. The first knowledge Captain McCIuskey had of the robbery In Boston was a telegram received about noon. Shortly after that Chief Inspector Watts, of Boston, called him up on the telephone and told him the story of the crime. A description was given of tho man and Captain McCIuskey immediately notified policemen along the river fronts, at the steamboat landings and the railway stations to look out for the robber. A detective who was detailed to watch the Grand Central Station boarded the incoming 6 o'clock Boston train at One-hundred-and-twenty-fif th street and walked from the first car through to the rear car, the smoker. Lambele was sitting in the rear of the car enjoying a cigar. The detective made no move to arrest the robber until after the Grand Central Station waa reached. lie followed Lambele out to the sidewalk and there Informed him that he was under arrest. A short struggle ensued and Lambele was overpowered. He put his hand in his pocket and drew from it the roll of bills containing $10,000, which he offered to pay with for his freedom. At police headquarters the prisoner eald he was George Shea, tttfenty-one years old, born in Canada, married, but refused to give his residence. He was recognized as an old offender. He was arrested in this city in September, 1SS6, for stealing $124 from Zimmerman & Forshay, Wall-street bankers. He was arrestrd in July, 1S38, for attempting to steal Jewelry In Maiden lane. He wai not tried for the first offense, and on the second charge he was not convicted. He has also been arrested In Chicago. The roll of bills stolen from the Boston bank wa, untouched. It consisted of two $1,000 bills, two G0O bills and remainder in $100 bills. Although he gave hi3 name ss Shea, the robber was recognized as Philip Lambele by a letter in his pocket which he had written to his mother In Chicago. UPROAR AT FORT SHERIDAN. Three Sentries Empty the Magatlnei of Their Krng-Jorgensens. CHICAGO, June 22. Three different sentries at Fort Sheridan emptied th9 magazines of their rifles last night and this morning the whole post was in an uproar. At 11 o'clock at night the sentry near the officers' quarters discovered three men trying to force their way through a rear window into Lieutenant Hedeken's quarters. They ran and he fired five shots without effect. Three hours later a sentry was assaulted by three privates, Kelly, Gilroy and Devore. They endeavored to take away his rifle. He shook them off and seized Kelly. The other two ran and he fired five shots after them. Kelly was taken to the guardhouse and arriving there became violent. After quiet had been restored Kelly's head was done up in bandages. At 8 o'clock this morning First Sergeant Siegel, of Light Battery D, attempted to arrest Gilroy and Devore. They fought with him and were escaping when he called out the guard. Four shots wer3 fired after them before they were caught. The three men are now In the guard house and will be tried by courtmartial. GRAPH0PH0NE IN COURT, Talking? Machine Permitted to Reproduce n Statement. SAN FRANCISCO, June 23.

The attorneys for the defense argued against admitting the talking machine, but the court ordered otherwise, and the statement issued from the trumpet la clear, distinct tcass.

Use of Explosive Ballets and Other Missiles Which Inflict Cruel Wounds Prohibited by the Conference. TUB HAGUE, June 21-After short sessions of the subcommittees of war and navy, of the peace Conference, at which reports by Maj. Gen. Den Deer Poortugael. of the Dutch delegation, and Count Soltyk, the Austrian naval expert, were, respectively, adopted, the first committee met to discuss the same In the above order. The delegates declared In favor of any state using any new explosives or new inventions for ordnance, Russia and Bulgaria alone refraining from voting. The question of Dumdum bullets was discussed, Maj. Gen. Sir John Ardagh, of the British delegation, declaring that Great Britain did not desire to use any projectile inconsistent with the principles of modern war. and that Dumdums should only be used agalnet an uncivilized foe. The conference finally resolved in favor of prohibiting the use of bullets which spread or flatten out in the human body, such as explosive bullets, bullets in a hardened case which does not entirely cover the point or bullets with an incision. The British and American delegates alone voted in the negative. The use of any new explosives in projectiles from balloons was prohibited for five years. The question of restraining the introduction of new types of rifles was deferred. Count Soltyk's report was then taken up. It declares that the subcommittee, though unable to agree regarding the proposed abolition of ' naval rams, 'eubmaine torpedo boats and the use of explosives, had declared against the use of asphyxiating gases, which the first committee also approved. The American demand for the protection of private property at sea has not yet been presented to the peace conference. Andrew D. White, head of the American delegation, on Tuesday requested the president of the conference, M. De Staal, to submit the question to the conference, at the same time suggesting that the proper. way to bring the matter up for discussion would be to assemble a plenary conference, submit the question and have it referred to a commission for examination. M. De Staal had not yet arrived at a decision, as the American proposal has not been translated into French. It is the general opinion that the delegates of the great powers are absolutely opposed to raising the question, arguing the Incompetence of the conference to do so under the terms of Count MuraviefTs circular, M. De Staal having declared at the opening of the conference, with the approval of the delegates, that under no circumstances would the conference discuss any question not contained in the circular. Several delegates declare there is little chance of the question being discussed, but that If It is discussed America will be opposed with the utmost energy by Great Britain and all the great powers. )' A number of the delegates are suffering from a mild form of malaria, caused by the emanations of the canal, which receive the sewage. Mrs. Holls, wife of Mr. Frederick Holla, secretary of the American delegation, has been obliged to go to Dusseldorf for a change of air. The Sultan After Young Turks. LONDON. June 22. The correspondent of the Daily News at The Hague describes the great effort the Sultan is making to induce the Dutch government to suppress the meetings of the Young Turkish party. He says: 'A meeting was announced at which the speakers were to be Aschmed Riza Bey, Ammeghlan, an Armenian, and Lewakowsky, an Austrian Pole. The government summoned the speakers to prove their possession of financial resources, the absence of which would be the only ground upon which their expulsion could be decreed. This shabby trick failed and the meeting was held, but it had an extraordinary result. Turkham Pasha, the first delegate of Turkey, sent his secretary, Rechid Bey, to challenge the young Turkish leader to a duel. Rlza replied that they were both guests of a country where dueling was unlawful and that he would not help the first Turkish delegate to commit a crime. Of course, the Sultan is behind this, and his chief of police Is coming here to look after the Young Turks. The German delegates are still without instructions on the arbitration Question." AN EXCITING DEBATE. Captain Maban Shows Up the Insincerity of Rnsslan Delegates. LONDON, June 23. The correspondent of tho Times at The Hague says: "This has been one of the most exciting days of the conference. There was a sharp controversy between the Russian and American naval delegates. Captain Mahan very pointedly asked why the employment of gases should be interdicted while the more cruel, wholesale destruction of human life aimed at by employment of submarine torpedo boats should be permitted. A Ehell charged with asphyxiating gas need not necessarily destroy human life, he said, any more than chloroform, but might only place men hors do combat for a time, whereas a submarine boat stealthily approaching under cover of darkness might send a thousand sleeping men to a watery grave. Why forbid retail asphyxiation by air and permit wholesale asphyxiation by water? "A Russian delegate replied that the men might be picked up when the ship sank. Captain Mahan retorted by recalling the case of the British battle ship Victoria, where, as he pointed out. In a highly disciplined fleet, in. tread ciyliht tsl rz:c:tli

waters, many hundreds of men were drowned, so sudden was the catastrophe and so short the available time to pick up.the men. He reminded the commission also that this happened when an immense fleet was close together and intent on doing Its utmost to save life. "Captain Mahan's arguments were altogether logical and unassailable, but this did not prevent the commission voting them down. A suggestion that seemed to be mad quite seriously was put forward by one delegate to the effect that a submarine 1 would naturally do her best to save life after she had sent the ship to the bottom. "In the discussion regarding Dumdum bullets the Russian delegate. Colonel Jilinskl. did not mince matters, but plainly expressed the opinion that the Dumdum was uselessly cruel. He refused to accept the humanitarian amendment proposed by Captain Crozier, of the American delegation, which would have been voted unanimously, that no bullet should be adopted which caused unnecessary suffering. "Although it must be obvious to all that giving specific technical Interdiction to certain features will not prevent the introduction of other features capable of producing more cruel results, this Is likely to be the case. Indeed, an Ingenious and simple means of evading the Russian Interdiction has already been devised. What a strange commentary on a humanitarian conference that one of its results may very well be the introduction of a more cruel missile than any at present In use. "When the vote was taken Great Britain and America were left in the minority. England and the United States, therefore, are branded by the majority as uncivilized and anti-humanitarian states, while the Russians are to be congratulated on having served the cause of civilization and humanity. At least the eccentricities of to-day's debate have almost put matters In that absurd light." . CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

President SIcKlnley, It Is Said, Will Ask for Over 10,000 Men. CHICAGO, June 22. A special dispatch from Washington to the Tribune rays: "President McKInley has decided to call for volunteers for sendee In the Philippines. It has been determined to form at least nine regiments and possibly twelve. For the present the President deems nine or ten regiments enough and it is understood this number is based on the representations made by General Otis, who is said to have recently amended his estimate of the force he will need In maintaining peace in the islands. There are now twenty-three thousand regulars in the Philippines and there will shortly be a reinforcement cf at least seven thousand. This furnishes General Otis with the army he desired in the earlier estimates from Manila. Lately, however, he has had occasion to revise these figures and under the Influence of the more liberal estimates of General Lawton and other advisers he has Informed the Washington officials that the presence of twelve thousand or fifteen thousand volunteers to supplement the force of regulars will be a safeguard. . 'Actual enlistment for..the new volunteer, regiments will be under the army officers and the records will be similar to those which attended the recruiting of volunteers at the outbreak of the late war. It is probable the company strength will be maximum, and this would give for nine regiments a volunteer force of at least 12,000. The call for troops will be Issued as soon as the necessary artangements for the recruiting system can be made. FOR JURY BRIBING. Daniel Congblan and Bartender William Armstrong Indicted. CHICAGO, June 22. Indictments charging Daniel Coughlan and his bartender, William Armstrong, with Jury bribing were returned to-day. Coughlan'a bond on two charges is fixed at $15,000, while Armstrong's Is $3,000. Both men declared their ability to secure good bondsmen. The bench warrants which were issued at first for the two alleged Jury bribers were dismissed. Coughlan served several years in prison for complicity in the murder of Dr. Cronin, but was acquitted on a second trial. The indictment against Coughlan individually alleges that May 13 he sought to corrupt a certain Juror, John F. Taylor, by offering him a bribe of $200. Taylor was then serving on a Jury In the case of John Carbine versus the Illinois Central Railroad.
