The Journal has for sale, at a great bargain, one of Its two Hoe presses, which have been In use for a number of years In printing the Journal. It Is now being replace. l by a large modern, double-supplo-ment Hoe press of a capacity commens jrat with th growing needs of the paper. The press that is for sale can bo bought at a very reasonable figure. ar,d is ready lor shipment at once. It is In excellent condition and will give years of good service to fomc newspaper desiring to use a Xerfecting press. The purchase price will Include a Jenney motor, direct connected, with whicli it has been run for the past three years. This is a great improvement over the old system of running a press by belta and is a good saver of power. Correspondence Is invited on this subject from fcny interested publishers. Notice to Tourists. Sub'crlters leaving the city fcr a period during the summer can have the Daily and Sunday Journal mailed to any address in the United (States or Canada without extra charge. The address will be changed as often a desired. Roth telephones 2-3. The crops In portions of Colorado which liave artificial Irrigation are bountiful and, what is more, artificial irrigation gives bountiful crops every year so bountiful that as much Is raised on an acre as on two or three acres under ordinary conditions. , Porto Iiicans are looking for an era of unparalleled prosperity under the approaching promulgation of free trade between that Island and the rest of the United States. The privilege will place Porto Rico far in advance of all other West India islands. One of the reports from the region of the Amalgamated strike is that the strikers thrnaten to withdraw their deposits from the savings banks and thus embarras the corporations which have borrowed of such banks. In that event it becomes a fight of Capital against capital. The Governor of Nebraska has Issued a proclamation fixing Friday next as a day of prayer for rain. On Saturday he declined to act. saying he would wait and see if the prayers of the people of Missouri availed, but on Monday he issued his proclamation. "With or without prayers, the rain will come In accordance with natural laws-. It is gratifying to learn that the charges of dishonesty and malfeasance in office against Governor Whitmarsh. of the Philippines, were found upon Investigation to be entirely groundless. The only thing proved against him was a breach of official dignity In thrashing his secretary, for which he was directed to apologize. The secretary will resign and the Governor will return to his post. The dispatch sent out from this city making It appear that the trouble at Fairview Park was a race conflict gave an entirely wrong Impression. The semi-organized gang of young toughs have attacked negroes because It was less dangerous to impose upon helpless colored men and women. Recently, however, these hoodlums have annoyed white people. There Is no race war In Indianapolis. If one of the largest banks in the city persists In remaining out of the clearing house the reports of the latter had better not be publirred. The Institution can be made just a? convenient to the banks that are In It without publishing reports which re misleading and injurious to the city. Jt is much to be regretted that the refusal of one bank to join the clearing house should plae Indianapolis in this exceptional position. Since his return from visiting the military posts in the West Secretary Hoot has announced the intention of the War Department to opt-n an infantry and cavalry school at Fort Leavenworth and a cavairy and artillery school, with a large camp of Instruction, at Fort Kiley. The Jefferson barracks at St. Louis and" the quarters at Fort Sh-ridan. Chicago. V i!l bo enlarge'!, but no mention is made of the arsenal at this point. Kmpcror Nicholas, of IJussli, has won the gratitude of the editors of that country by Issuing new regulations regarding the censorship of the press. Under the new rule a IiTFt notice or warning will remain In force only a jtur if a second does not follow within the ear; the second will expire within two years if there is not a third within that period, and the third will remain in force only three years. The fact that the?e regulations are regarded us liberal may srve to convey an Idea of the practical enslavement of the Russian press tor years past. The law now somewhat relaxed was adopted nearly twenty years ago. and under It not only newspapers, but books, were auuressed if they contained even a remote approach to liberalism or freedom of thought. "In August, lsSI." ays Appleton'a Cye'opedla for that year, "a more sweeping decree than any that h&4

preceded It prohibited from circulation 123 works by Russian and foreign authors. The most popular and influential Russian authors were included in the interdict, and such Kngll-h writers as Lyell. Huxley, Lubbock. Adam Smth. J. S. Mill, Herbert Spencer, Lecky and liagehot. The same order directed the poller, to suppress the circulation of H) volumes of periodical literature." Hven a slight relaxation of such a law may well be construe! as evidence of liberalism on the part of the present Kmpcror.

Tili: HFPt I1LICAN CIIOICIL Charles A. Iiookwalter received the Republican nomination for m;yor by a decisive majority of the aggregate vote of the primaries held yesterday in the precincts. The nomination is the result of a Republican vote, cast directly by the voters in primaries conducted impartially under the forms of law. Kven those who are disappointed at the result must admit a fair vote and an honest count. The friends of both aspirants for the nomination did whatever they could to promote the Interests of their respective favorites, but wnatever was done there was no packing of primaries with men who had no right to vote. Consequently it must be said at the outset that the nomination was fairly made. In a canvass it counts a great deal that the candidates are fairly nominated. Mr. liookwalter's qualifications for mayor have been discussed for more than two years. He Is a man of positive character, with executive capacity of a high order. Whatever enterprise he has undertaken in this city has been well managed. He is now engaged In a manufacturing enterprise employing a considerable number of people which is a financial success. The building and loan association so largely under his control for years was a well-managed institution. For several years Mr. Bookwaiter has had an honorable ambition to be mayor of Indianapolis. He does not seek the office because he has no other business and wants employment, but because he believes that a man can make an honorable reputation and win public respect by being a good mayor. For several years he has made a critical study of the administration of Indianapolis. He knows all about It, as will appear as the campaign proceeds. Mr. .Rookwalter, nominated without a convention, will have the advantage of presenting his own platform. That he did In pait yesterday by posting at the voting places a card in which he pledged himself to "give to the affairs of the city that careful attention a business man gives to his own affairs," and that "appointments to public positions shall be made solely with a view to the fitness of the persons appointed, and that all the business affairs of the city shall be managed In the interest of the taxpayers." That Is platform enough; the Journal believes it Is the purpose of Mr. IJookwaltcr to make these pledges good, and that he has the ability and the courage to do so. SIX SPOTS AM) Hi: AT. For intensity, extent and duration the present heated term surpasses any on. record, by which is meant any mentioned In the official records of the weather bureau. These are the only reliable weather records we have, and whatever antedates them must rest on the memory of "the oldest Inhabitant," or other equally unreliable tradition. It is enough that there is no evidence that this part of the world has ever experienced a term of eeiually intense heat throughout as wide an area and lasting as long as the present one. Amid a variety of other comment it has probably raised some conjecture as to what causes it. One does not have to be a scientist to know that the sun is the source of heat, but science fails to inform us with any degree of certainty whether solar heat is the result of chemical combination or mechanical force, and why it should vary so greatly at different times under seemingly Identical conditions. It Is the opinion of some that the sun spots have much to do with variations of heat, and scientists are keeping close watch on the changes connected with them with a view, if possible, of discovering a series of coIncidences and perhaps establishing a theory. About a year ago the French astronomer Flammarion stated that the earth was about to enter a period of five years the summers of which would be the hottest in history. He based his prediction on sun spots. Rut one summer does not prove a theory any more than one swallow makes summer. Most scientists regard Flammarlon as a sensationalist. Nevertheless Sir Norman Lockyer, who Is not a sensationalist, recently stated that "the seasonal rainfall and great heats in India follow certain changes In the sun, and that of the famines so devastating there can be a forecast made from known solar changes, and that as the weather of India is interlocked with that of Africa, and that again with the western hemisphere, the understanding of the causes in one place will naturally give a clew to those in other parts of the world. This suggests a connection between sun spots and great neat, but does not advance a theory. It is generally conceded by scientists that the sun spots arc controlled by periodicity, and reach their greatest maximum about every eleven years. It Is also well established that the periods of maximum sun spots are also periods of maximum disturbance in the earth's magnetism. It Is quite within the limits of possibility that science may yet establish a relation between sun spots and heat sufficient to predict years of excessive heat and drought with as much certainty as the weather is now predicted a day or two in advance. The fact that the gilt-edged bonds of Massachusetts, bearing 3 per cent., have not sohl as promptly as two years ago is explained on the ground that, during th oast two or three years, large volumes of securities have been put upon the market. The United States issued SJm.ux).i) in 1S0S. Large European public loans, paying 34 per cent., have been offered and sold in the United States. It has been a period of municipal bonds. Rut the sale of manufacturing and railroad bonds has been beyond all precedent. During the first six months of this year new issues of bonds were listed on the New York Stock Kxchange to the amount of 5:C1.6TS. Bonds aggregating Sö.WV.uO were Issued during the same period of corporations, bonds In many cases being substituted for stocks. The listing of stocks, including new issues and to take up old issues, aggregated J1.273.5S7.375 a volume never before even partially approached during the same period. The unprecedented Issue has given a wider rkid, so that gUt-edgeJ state securities cannot If sold as low ns two or three years ago. Senator Daniel has devised a scheme for the disfranchisement of the negro which requires that to vote a man must have $300 worth of property. That this may

not bear upon ex-Confederates and their sons, an exception is made in favor of those who served in the federal and Confederate armies, but to get rid of the small number of ex-federal soldiers in Virginia those not having the property qualification shall be debarred from voting If they receive a United States pension. This is the most ingenious device to get rid of Republican voters yet announced. FROM HITHER AND YON. Cause of Her Cold. Detroit Free Press.

After that, what could he do but pop? ECONOMY IN PHILIPPINES. Much Money Saved hy Reduction of the Transport Servlre. MANILA, July 23. The reports submitted to Adjutant General Corbln by Major James R. Aleshire, in charge of the water transportation department of the army at Manila, show the saving of $3.00) dally lor the last three months. Since Major Aleshire took charge of this department the number of vessels chartered by the government as transports, etc.. has been reduced from ten to live, and the lighters and launches chartered by the" government have bten reduced one-half. The concentration of the American troops at Manila, Dagupan. Iloilo or Cebu will further reduce the army's neeel of launches. It is expected, in view of this economy, to operate some transports direct between Manila and New York. Adjutant General Corbin recommends the use of two of the fastest transports in a nonthly mail service between San Francisco and Manila to insure quick handling of the mails.

The health officer of the port, Dr. Doty, has decided to take hold of the mosquito question in Statcn island and attempt the extermination of the pest. A part of the Island adjacent to the quarantine station has been selected for the test. Dr. Doty says: "We have been at work for the last year in our laboratory on the mosquito lirvae, In order to de-termlne bacteriologically what can be done. First, to determine If the insect produces malaria; second, if so. can malarirt be prevented by the extermination of the mosquito and its larvae. The test 1 have determined to make will be applied to a part of Staten island adjoining our station and opposite to the quarantine islands, in extent about three miles by one and one-half miles. The boundaries of this district are New Dorp lane. Richmond road. Vanderbilt avenue and New York bay. All the swamps, ponds, marshes and wet places will be inspected by men from our laboratory to determire w here the bree ding places are situated. The mosquito and its larvae will be taken in such places and will be examined to determine the presence of malaria. Ijcal physicions will be asked to co-operate by rtportlng all cases of malaria. All Intelligent co-operation of citizens will be requested. In the treatment of breeding places petroleum will bj an important factor. This is in line with our quarantine work, as the quarantine hospital f'jr yellow fever is adjacent to the district selected for the test." Shot ut Pigeon, Killed a Xegro. LOUISVILLE. Ky July 23.

MEASLES E THE CAMP

KOV SXVDEH, OF COMPAXV G, TIIIItD itcfiiMnxTj, Tin: victim. Only One Case Has Developed and Effort Was Made to Keep the .Matter Secret. THE SICK ARE RECOVERING SOME OF THE MF.N' PROSTRATED SIXDAV ORDERED HOME. General Health of the Camp Is Exeel lea t R eg i mental Parade Xotes of the Camp. The discovery of an unmistakable case of measles In the Third Regiment yesterday morning was the sensation of the day In the national guard camp at the fair grounds. Every effort was made by Major Hawkins, chief surgeon of the Third, and the other medical officers of the guard, to keep the matter a profound secret, but without avail. The news spread through the camp and created considerable consternation. With much difficulty it was learned that the afflicted man was Private Roy Snyder, of Company G, Third Regiment, stationed at Columbia City, Ind. As soon as Snyder was found to be suffering with a contagious disease every precaution was taken to prevent the spread of the malady. Snyder was quickly taken to the quarantine department of the City Hospital, located in a cottage at 916 West Redmond street, . and the hospital of the Third Regiment was cleared of its inmates. Lieutenant Colonel Wright, chief surgeon of the brigade staff, had the hospital tent thoroughly fumigated with spray of formaldehyde, and nobody will be allowed in the tent until this afternoon. The men who were exposed to the disease by coming in contact with Snyder will not be allowed to mingle with their comrades during the remainder of the encampment. The speedy and thorough manner In which Colonel Wright and his assistants took steps to obviate the spread of a contagious disease in the camp was the subject of favorable comment on all hands yesterday. So thoroughly was the work done that no fear is felt that the disease will make its appearance again. GENERAL HEALTH GOOD. The health of the camp was remarkably good yesterday, better even than on Monday. Major Schanz had recovered yesterday morning sufficiently to attend to light duties. He rested frequently during the day and received medical treatment. When seen last evening he declared that he was almost entirely recovered. "I will be in the harness again to-morrow," he said, with a smile that suggested anything but illness. Private Birch Lockridge, of Greencastie, a member of the hospital corps, who was overcome by the heat Sunday night at brigade review, was ordered home yesterday by Colonel Wright. Lockridge developed symptoms that suggested typhoid fever. He was accompanied to Greencastie by Private Fred To wies, of lrvington, also a member of the hospital corps. 'Private Fred Smith, of Company 13, First Regiment, another of Sunday evening's victims, went to his home in Terre Haute yesterday in accordance with an announcement In the Journal of yesterday. The brigade hospital corps spent a good part of the day in active drill uneter Sergeant Frank Sommer. The men were put through their "paces' in the matter of rendering aid to the disabled, use of the litter on the field and treatment of the sick generally. The only patient in brigade hospital yesterday was Second Lieutenant F. L. Syncler, of Company K, First Regiment, who was stricken by the heat Sunday night, dismissed as cured and suffered a slight relapse, necessitating his return to the hospital. Lieutenant Snyder was reported as suffering with a touch of malaria and chills yesterday, but his condition was said not to be at all serious. HAD A LIGHT DAY. The physicians and assistants at the Second Regiment hospital had a light day yesterday. Only three cases were treated, and these were slight heat prostrations at the drill yesterday morning. All of the men were discharged and returned to their quarters last night. The ailments were mostly severe headaches induced by the excessive heat on the drill ground. At the artillery battalion hospital it was reported last evening that, outside of Major Schanz's illness, the health of the camp yesterday was excellent. The physicians in charge of the First Regiment hospital, Major Hawkins, chief surgeon, and Drs. Guthrie, Miller. Davis and Laidacker, reported no sick during the dav yesterday. The hospital of the Third Regiment cared for only three patients yesterday, none of them serious. Colonel Smith's regiment, the Second, was the only one to go through drill evolutions on the much-dreaded open field in the race tiaek inclosure yesterday. The drill was held in the afternoon and the men stooo the arduous service admirably, only one leaving the field. General McKee. accompanied by Col. F. W. Frank. Lieut. Guy A. Boyle and Maj. Charles S..Tarlton, members of his start, ordered up their horses yesterday afternoon about 3 o'clock and Bet out on a semiofficial tour of inspection of the camp. These tours of Inspection are made only occasionally within the discretion of the brigadier general. REGIMENTAL PARADE. The First and Second infantry regiments participated in regimental parade on the drill field Inside the race track last evening at 6:30 o'clock. A pleasant breeze blew across the field and made the temperature comfortable. The men went through their evolutions much after the fashion of "regulars" and the spectacle presented was one of Indescribable beauty. Governor Durbin and Brigadier General McKee reviewed the Second as It came off the field to march to quarters. A notable feature of the camp yesterday was its military air. General McKee has reduced things to a perfect system, and the officers and men throughout the camp seem to be in sympathy with his idea that this is a real military camp, in which strict discipline and order must prevail. Everything now moves like clockwork. A member of General McKer's staff whs asked yesterday what the condition of the guard is at present. "1 think it Is In fine shape." he said. "The boys that were green at first seem to have 'caught on' quickly, and I have no doubt the guard would do itself proud if an emergency were to arise ilemandine that it be put into the field." Maj. F. R. Charlton, chief surgeon of the Second Regiment, commented favorablylast night upon the ;?cod order that has prevailed in camp thus far. "I have not seen a rowdyish action as y-t." he said. ' and 1 believe the guard is made up of men that are perfect gentlemen. In fact. I never took part in a camp that was so free from disorderlv conduct and boisterousness as this one is." TO-MORROW IS "GOVERNOR'S DAY." OHlcers and Men in Cnmp Looking Forward vrlth Pleasure. Officers and men at the camp of instruction of the National Guard are looking forward to to-morrcw with a great deal of interest. The day has been set apart as "Governor's day." which is always the blgstst day of a camp of Instruction. Tomorrow evening the National Guard will make its arpearance on the drill field as an entirety for the first time, and officers and men will look their very best in anticipation cf being scrutinized by the practiced eye of Governor Durbin. to ay nothing of General McKee and his staff. It w?.ü difficult to get Information yesterday as to the way in which the various regiments and artillery battalions will be disposed on the field, but a map wh.o 1

conversant with such matters was found willing to give the probable formation. When the troops are drawn up for inspection by Governor Durbin and his military staff and General McKee and his statt they will be arranged as follows: On the right, the Signal Corps; next, the Second regiment, then the First, then the Third, then the artillery battalion, with the hospital corps on the extreme left. The reviewing officers will be in a line and the brigade will be presented to Brigadier General McKee. after which the general and the Governor, attended by their respective staff, will ride along the line, starting at the right and going around to the extreme left, returning along the rear of the troops. The reviewing officers will then return to the starting point and the troops will march past them, all officers saluting the reviewing officers and the soldiers coming to "port arms." As soon as each body of soluiers gets past the reviewing officers the men will return to "right shoulder arms." When the last body of soldiers has left the field the ceremony will be at an end. A number of members of the Governor's staff arrived in camp yesterday and the indications are that by to-night practically the entire staff will be on the ground. Tht?re are said to be emly two occurrences thit can interfere with to-morrow being a red letter day in the history of the Indiana National Guard a heavy downpour of rain or a renewal of Monday's ferocious heat. Incidents of Camp Life. Capt. Kenneth M. Burr, of Anderson, Ind., late of the Thirtieth United States Volunteer Infantry, in the Philippines, was a visitor at camp yesterday. xxx Private Otis Majors, Company K, Third Regiment, will be sent home to-day on account of illness. He is reported suffering with a mild attack of malarial fever. xxx Members of the various regiments and the artillery battalion are being sent in squads every night to Fall creek to enjoy the luxury of bathing and swimming. t x Capt. James Little, formerly of Company A, Second Regiment, visited his old command yesterday. Captain Little resigned about a month ago because his tailor shop demanded so much of his time that he had none left to devote to hi; company. xxx Colonel Smith was "swelled up" yesterday over two facts: First, that the Second was the only regiment to drill in the open field inside the race track during the day, and, second, that his guard Monday night was conceded to be the best in camp. xxx The resignation of Lieut. William McCreary, of Company I, Third Regiment, Tipton, was accepted yesterday afternoon and an election ordered to fill the vacancy thus caused. Lieutenant McCreary assigned press of civil business as the reason for his resignation. XXV Captain Charles A. Gerard, of Company A (Indianapolis), was officer of the day in the Second yesterday. He had scarcely assumed the duties of the position until he began policing the camp in a way that called forth many warm compliments from Colonel Smith. xxx "So far as quality of rations Is concerned. Gen. 'Andy' Foster is the best quartermaster general the state of Indiana has had for many years," declared Col. Harry D. Smith yesterday as he bit Into a piece of juicy steak that was cut from a epuartcr of beef issued to the Seconel by Gen. Foster. xxx Captain De Vinney, brigade commissary at Columbus, Ga., on General Wiley's staff, spent the day yesterday very pleasantly with the friends among the officers of the Second that he had made when that regiment (then the One-hundred-and-slxtieth Indiana Volunteer Infantry) brigaded at Columbus, Ga. Captain De Vinney was the special guest of Maj. John J. Bachman, of the Second. xxx The members of Governor Durbin's staff believe In having "all the comforts of home" when they are away from home. They have clubbed together and equipped a refreshment pavilion In which one can get any kind of soft and cooling drink or light refreshment during the day and evening. The place is liberally patronized. As patrons sit or stand partaking of refreshment they are canopied by the national colors artistically draped overhead. XXX The examining board of the Third Regiment made recommendations j'esterday for promotion as follows: Sergt. H. C. Coppage, of Montlcello, of the second battalion, to be made first lieutenant, and Sergt. Maj. J. C Loehner, of Auburn, also of the second battalion, to be commissioned as battalion quartermaster and commissary. The examining board is made up of Maj. A. S. Kuhlman, Capt. G. W. Freymuth, Capt. J. K. Graves and Lieutenant Brubaker, recorder. xxx There will be more drill in sighting practice to-day In camp and to-morrow a range will be put up. The firing on this range will be done with reduced ammunition, in order to guard against accidents as far as possible and for the further reason that it is not elesired to waste any more powder than necessary. One thousand rounds of ammunition will be issued to each company, and the men will gather up the lead after shooting and moid it Into bullets again. They will reload the shells themselves. xxx Consternation prevailed at brigade headquarters for a few minutes yestrday afternoon. A big. burly citizen, dressed after the fashion of a sporting "gent," appeared suddenly on the piazza of the administration building, and instantly a staff officer rushed to General McKee and cried breathlessly, "General. Gus Rahke Is outside on the porch." By the time the general reached the porch the discovery had been made that the visitor was only a man that strongly resembled Mr. Rahke, and not the redoubtable butcher-gambler in person. xxx "Talk about It's being hot yesterday." said General McKee last evening, as he reclined at ease In the barber chair in the rear room of the administration building on the ground floor, "I saw a thing that was enough to knock anybody almost 6llly. Yesterday (Monday) afternoon, when a thermometer placed at the base of a tree in the sun registered 120, I saw the elriver of the sprinkling cart come up here to renew the supply of water in his tank. Well, that fellow was either so lazy that he did not care to put forth the exertion necessary to climb down and get into the shade while his tank was filling, or else he is a human salamander. At any rate, he sat on the seat of the cart for ten or fifteen minutes in the broiling sun and It did not seem to 'phase' him. Why, he called In and asked me what time It was. Thinking of something to eat, I suppose." xxx Amons the multiplicity of small details about a camp is one that has practically escaped notice until yesterday. This detail is the duty that devolves upon the guard or sentry that patrols the beat In front of brigade headquarters. It seems thut one of the chief eluties of this guard is to see that no harm comes to the llag that floats proudly to the breezes from an eighty-foot taff in front of the administration building. He is supposed to keep an eye on this flag constantly, but thus far In the camp this detail has been overlooked. Yesterday mornlnt: the flag became wrappeel about the staff several limes, but the sentry did not notice this fact. General McKee"? observant eye caught it, however, and he quietly directed the attention of a staff oflicer to it. The cuard was at once instructed in this part of his duties, and hereafter it will be carefully attended to. xxx An important branch of the national guard service that attracts little attention because of its lack of ostentation is the signal corps. The men of this corps put in the complete and efficient telegraphic service that connects the headquarters of every regiment and every artillery battalion with brigade headquarters. The corps is In command of Major Charles T. Maclntire. of Indianapolis, who was captain of the Fourteenth United States Volunteer Signal Corps in the SpanishAmerican war. and who received warm praises from his superior officers for the excellence of his training of his men. The signal corps of the Indiana Nat'onal Guard is provided with a full outfit of heliographs, signaling flags and torches for night signaling. The lieutenant is John M. Le Hew. who was a servant in the Fourteenth United States Volunteer Signal Corps, already mentioned. X X K ' ' Maj. Frank E. Struuse, engineering officer on General McKee's staff. Is the man that looks after the transportation of the guard to and from Indianapolis. He met the "boys" at the depot last Saturday and saw to It that they were properly conveyed

to the camp. Major Strouse and Maj. John E. Miller, of Adjutant General Ward's office, are now busily engaged In arranging a schedule for the return of the guardsmen to their respective homes. The schedule Is not completed yet. but it Is known that the soldiers will begin to leave Urion station Saturday afternoon a: 4 o'clock, and the last detachment will leave at b in the evening, the entire guard reaching home Saturday night. The three regiments and the artillery battalion will start from the camp at the fair grounds Saturday so.m afte; noon mess and march to the depot on foot. Frequent stops will be made on the way down to the city In order to rest the men. xxx Lieutenant Colonel Wright, chief surgeon, and Major Frank E. Strouse. thief engineering officer on Brigadier General McKee's staff, are the only bachelors at brigade headquarters. General McKee has dubbed them "the heavenly twins." The two staff officers are as thick as "three in a bed," and a strong point of similarity with them is their fondness for showing gallantry to the fair sex. Let a woman approach within sighting distance of brigade headquarters and both. Major Strouse and Colonel Wright are to be found instantly on the front porch, with caps doffed and wearing most gracious smiles. Monday a staff officer that Is the proud father of two very beautiful daughters detailed Major Strouse to go to his home to convey some sort of message. It is reported that when this came to Colonel Wright's ears he "sulked in his tent" the livelong day because he had not been the lucky man to go on the mission. One of the funny sights about camp yesterday was the drill performed by the men of the brigade hospital corps, under the command of "Gabe," the sable-skinned cook of the corps. "Gabe" served through the Cuban campaign as cook for the Twentyseventh Indiana Battery told Battery A, Captain Curtis) and feels that he knows as much about drill tactics as anybody. He had the "boys" doing lively "stunts." greatly to the amusement of Colonel Smith and his staff and several women visitors who were watching the scene. "When the Twenty-seventh Battery was coming home on a transport from Cuba," said Colonel Smith, "the vessel got Into a storm and began to rock and roll about in a most terrifying manner. The "boys' did not seem to notice it, however, and continued their customary amusements, some of them occasionally letting out a few oaths. As 'Gabe' heard the swearing his eyes bulged out in terror, and finally he cried jut, 'You boys better be prayin' dan cuasin', for youse gwine down, sho'.' ' KOCH ON TUBERCULOSIS

AX IXTERESTOIXG PAPER READ AT THE BRITISH CONGRESS. German Doctor Would Isolate All ConuinptiveK Ilumnn and Ilovlne Diseases Different. LONDON, July 23. A feature of to-day's session of the British Congress on Tuberculosis was Dr. Robert Koch's paper, which was listened to with the deepest interest by a big gathering in St. James Hall. Lord Lister (professor of surgery in the Glasgow and Edinburg universities, r.nd one of the vice presidents of the congress) Introduced the noted German professor to the assembly with a few very complimentary words. During his address to the congress Dr. Koch said his experiments had satisfied him that human tuberculosis and bovine tuberculosis were radically different diseases and that he had amply demonstrated cattle could not be infected with human tuberculosis. The counter proposition that human beings were not liable to infection from bovine tuberculosis was hard to prove, the doctor said, owing to the difficulty of experimenting on human subjects, but that personally he was satisfied such was the case. Dr. Koch said If this point was conceded it remained to determine the chief source of contagion. He said that human immunity to bovine infection disposed of the belief of Infection through dairy proeiucts and he considered this source of danger so slight as to be unworthy of precaution. Heredity was also an unimportant factor in the transmission of tuberculosis, though the contrary had long been believed. Dr. Koch said the chief danger of contagion lay in the sputum of consumptive patients and that a remedy was to be found in a law preventing the consumptive from sowing contagion about him. Several methods to this end were available, said the doctor, the surest being isolation in sanitariums. This, unfortunately was Impracticable, but ne strongly urged the establishment of special consumptive hospitals and the obligatory notification of the authorities of the existence of the disease, the disinfection of their quarters whenever consumptives changed residence and the dissemination of information to the people concerning the true nature of consumption to aid in avoiding and combatting it. Dr. Koch highly complimented Dr. Hermann M. Biggs (pathologist and director of the bacteriological labors of the New Y'ork city health department) upon the repressive measures concerning tuberculosis taken in New York city, where, he said, the mortality from tuberculosis had been reduced 35 per cent, since lssc and recomrr.endeel the system organized by Dr. Biggs in New York to the study and imitation of all municipalities. Dr. Koch closed his remarks expressing his belief that ulutimate stamping out of tuberculosis was possible. GRAND LODGE OF ELKS. Reports Made and Grand Oflleers Elected Fountain Ded I cat eel.

Miss Afitnes Riley, n Witness, Says She Ilellcvrs They Are False. PARKERSBURG. W. Va., July 23. In the Ellis Glenn case to-day the first witness produced a sensation. Miss Agnes Riley, stenographer for John F. Laird, an attorney for the defense, was called to testify regarding the scar on Ellis Glenn's head. She stated that she believed the defendant. Ellis Glenn, had false teth. This was very much unexpected, as Miss Kiley was called by the defe nse, and the State has bee-n contending that Ellis Glenn has false teeth. This statement created quite a scene in the court. The other witnesses gave the usual testimony that the defendant was not Klbert Glenn. Dr. Wise made four examinations of Ellis Glenn's head and hands and has n.ot been able to find any scar. Mr. Richter, of AVilllamstown, stated positively that the prisoner w;s not Bert Glenn, as the latter had worked for him several years and he knew him well.

Correspondence cf the Associated Press. HAMILTON, Bermuda, July 20. The Boer prisoners of war confined on Darrel's island make almost nightly attempts to avoid the patrollng &unboats Merlna and Medway and gain the mainland by swimming. The water between Darrel's Island and ths beach Is calm, and all night long the gunboats sweep it with their searchlights. Sharkb abound, and the British guard will shoot on suspicion, yet several of the Boers have escaped from their detention camp. On the night of July 9 11. J. Du Toit. M. 1 Louvens, J. I. Deroux and J. G. De Fe-ese, Boer prisoners, evaded the guards and the sharks and reached the shore half a miie away by swimming. By daybreak they had reached the southern shore of the island. Here they approached a colored man, asking him for food. He charged them with being Boer prisoners, and they admitted it. The colored man Informed the guirds at Warwick camp, and the escaping prisoners were captured. A night or two afterward two or three others tried to escape by paddling ashore on planks. They were seen, however, and fired on by the guards. One was wounded and returned to tile island while the others were caught. LORD MILNER HONORED. South African Commissioner GIen the Freedom of London. LONDON. July 23. The p. ese -atatlon of the freedom of the city of London to Lord Milner of Cape Town at the Guild Hall to-day was made the occasion of another Jingo demonstration In favor of the war in South Africa and the policy of the government. Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secretary; the Duke of Devonshire, president of the Council, and other Cau'.net ministers; Lord Cromer. British c.ms'il general in Egypt, and Sir Ciaude MacDonald, former British minister to Chiiia, were among these on the platform. Lord Milner, in a speech, said the compromising of the settlement of the South African situation by injudicious concessions must not be thought of, nor should the risk of a popular rising be run by treating deliberate and crime-stained treason as a venial offense. The speaker stid there was an Immense difference between the stout old burgher of the late republics and the "roving ruffians." harrowing their fellow-British subjects of e;pe Colony. While It was resolved to treat the old burghers when the war was over with fairness and even generosity, convincing them that though they had lost independence, they had not lost their freedom, continued Lord Milner. The loyalists in South Africa, who had shown such splendid devotion to the empire and the work of reconstruction already going on. should not be alienated. By the bold development of resources and an incorruptible government it was hoped, his lordship concluded, soon to relieve Great Britain of what had been called "the obesslon" of South Africa. It is reported that General Delarey has Informed the Klerksdorp commando that there is no longer any chance of European intervention, and that the Boers must fight the war out to the bitter end entirely on their own account. Til ASKED FOR LOYALTY. King's Reply to Americans Who Gave Him a .Medal for the Queen. LONDON, July 23. Much gossip in American and English society has been caused by the presentation to King Edward yesterday by some American women of the hospital ship Maine committee of a medal commemorative of the Maine's work, with a request that the King transmit the medal to Queen Alexandra. It seems tr.at the Idea was opposed by a number of Influential members of the committee on the ground that the King did not want the medal, but the others carried the day. The King's reply to the delegation which made the presentation is causlr.g some comment, as he thanked "the American committee'" for their "loyal, dutiful sentiments." as he did the Kansas Legislature in answering their telegram of condolence on tiie Queen's death, and he also thanked the committee for bringing their valuable services to a culmination by presenting the ship to the government, whereas this was done solely by Bernard M. Baker, of Baltimore. FIFTEEN LIVES LOST. Explosion of Petroleum on an American Schooner at Stockholm. STOCKHOLM, Sweden. July S3.
