"COME BACK TO ERIN"

PLAYED DY IRISH DAÜIM AS EDWARD AXD ALEXANDRA LEFT. Their .Uajertles Em Roate to Coitci After a Delightful Visit to the Green Isle. WARM GREETING AT CORK "REBEL TOWS" SKfcMIXGLY AS LOYAL AS OT1IEII IRISH CITIES. Speech by the Kin to the Jubilant, Yoeiferona People Farewell Address at Qneenstown. CORK. Aug. he firing of royal sa lutes and enthusiastic cheering welcomed h ing Edward, Queen Alexandra and the r jral party on their arrival at Cork this morning on board tha royal yacht Victoria and Albert, from Berehaven. The port was bright with bunting, the whole town was well decorated, and the streets were filled with jubilant sightseers. The lord mayor and corporation of Cork welcomed the visitors when they landed. Their Majesties drove through the decorated streets, which ware lined with troops and blue jackets, to the race course, where the King presented colors to two Irish regiments. The Catholic bishop of Cora was invited to assist at the ceremony of blessing the colors, most of the men being- Catholics, but he refused to be associated with the Protestant chaplain. During the afternoon their Majesties visited the exhibition. The royal procession to the grounds was greeted everywhere with tho same warmth which marked the previous functions during the tour. Addresses were presented by several local bodi--, to whi h the Km PSJ ttSa saying that his previous great interest In the welfare of Ireland had been furthered by hia present visit, lie had gained a clearer insight Into the conditoins of Irish life and hoped that the legislation cn which Parliament was engaged would powerfully contribute to the prosperity and contentment of the Irish people. But good laws alone would not secure that end. There was need of better industrial training. QUBEN8TOWN. Aug. 1. Their Majesties subsequt nty returned to Cjueenstown, where they received further addresses. The Kins in nis farewell reply said thut the people ould rest assured that he had the Interest of Ireland si heart, which remark elicited vociferous cheering and much waving of tlags a-'d hats. The royal visit to Ireland was thus brought to s successful close. The king and (jueen are both enchanted with the tour, which it is admitted on all hands has achieved much towards the settlement of the existing Irish grievances that legislation could not hope to accomplish. When their Majesties re-embarked on the royal yacht for Cowes the strains of "Come Back to Erin" mingled with the salute of guns. The yacht sailed at 7:40 p. m. Demand Meat Inspection Certificates. BERLIN, Aug. 1. The question arose in connection with the new meut law as to whether American pork must be accompanied by the certirie.it of microscopical Inspection made by the specialists of the American government according to the terms of the agreement of dept. 3 lssl. Some German inspection officers have interpreted the new luw as abolishing these sections because in any cate the meat must be Inspected in Germany. Chancellor Von Buelow, however, has Just decided that these inspection certificates must accompany American pork, ruling that the new law does not auect the agreement of 181. Cable Notes. Prof. Ferdinand von Richtofen. the famous geographer, has been elected rector of the Berlin U diversity. As the result of the collapse of a grand stand at F rtn. Bcoiland. during a cricket match SatuTuay, thirty people were more or less injured, but there were no fatalities. The match between the Perthshire and Forfarshire teams was Immediately called off. A great gathering of sovereigns Is expected at Darmstadt, Hesse, on the occasion of the wedding of Prince Andrew of Greece and Princess Alice of Battenberg. Ttv Cxar, Emperor William, King Edward, King Christian of Denmark and King George of (Jreece have already promised to attend. A body of about 5o0 Moors of the Berber tribe receutly attacked a French force of llfty sharpshooters who were guaruing lOo camels at Sidiel Jady. A brisk fight followed. The Berbwra icat heavily, but thy killed ten of the sharpshooters and two trench corporals and carried off all the camels. lted States Ambassador Choate delivered tha inaugural address at the university extension summer meeting at Oxford Saturday to an audlence of l.lOu persons. In the course of his address. Mr. Choate said that the bequest of Cecil Rhodes providing scholarships for American students at Oxford would forever wipe out any provincial aplrit which still existed and establish an endless chain of Intercourse and sympathy. NO POPE ELECTED. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) candles on the altar gave a peculiar light In conjunction with the daylight streaming through the windows and gleaming on the empty thioncs on the long line of seats with their balaachluos (canopies) occupied j by the cardinals Intent upon the business , in hand. Everything was symbolic. Even : the baldachiios whul. were now raised i over the caru.aala' chairs in the Sistine Chapel are a sign that each member of the Sacred College has, a personal part in the sovereignty of the Apostolic Sec. but wh n a Pope is elected they a.-e removed, the new Pontiff alone remaining with this symbol of power. The cardinals went to the Sistine Chapel, accompanied by their conclavists, carrying portfolios and paper. When Cardinal Of Sgl la was seated, all the others following hia example, prayers were offered, after which Mgr. Cagiano, the governor of the conclave, called "Exit omnes," thus anowncing to the conclavists and prelates that thy must retire and leave the cardinals alone. The voting papers used by their Eminences are somewhat different Crom those of 1878. being a little longer and narrower, but the printed inscriptions are the same, the blank spaces being filled in St the moment of voting with the name of the voter at the top and that of the cardinal voted for In the center and a Latin quotation at the bottom. Some of the cardinals did not know how to fold their paper, which caused considerable confusion. Cardinal Oreglta. the earner lengo. demonstrated the folding of a ballot to those n ar hlra, and they, in turn, showed others how it must oe folded. Each ballot was scaled with nc distinguishing mark. Kach cardinal in turn, holding his ballot between his first finger, and so that every one pre nt could see It. advanced slowly to the altnr, where a large chalice was standing, knelt tnd praved briefly for guidance, and then, rising, took the following oath: I call God to witness. He who shall lodge me. that I elect him who I think hould be elected according to Qod. This I promise to do also in the accesslt vote." Bo saying the cardinal dropped his ballot to the chalice, bowed before the altar and returned to his plate. The balloting took a very long time, as many of the cardinals, owing to their adranccd age and illness, moved slowly and srere obliged to have the assistance of their lollaagu-s. After the balloting wax finished the chaie was covered, well shaken and the baltota were publicly counted. Then, passing pun Into a receptacle placed on a table in the center of the chapel, the two cardinal cratitvi-ars opened the first ballot and passed it to a third cardinal, who read in a oud voice, and the other cardinals noted the votes on a printed list of names with hieb each wi.s provided. As no cardinal received the prescribed rwo-thirds of the votes a supplementary balat was taken, with oo better results. Consequently at 11:10 a. m. all the ballots were (turned, the smoke being seen from the left

side of the Piazza of St. Peters, where a few curious people, mostly newspaper men, had gathered to record this mute message, t It was said on good authority that Cardinals Herrera and Langenit-ux were unable to

leave their 'cells" this morning, so that when the time came for voting. Immedlateiy after having taken to the altar his own vote. Cardinal Oreglia showed the members of the sacred college a small empty box having a tiny slit in the cover. This box was locked in the presence of all the cardinals and the key placed on the altar, after which the three cardinal scrutineers carried the box to the apartments of the invalids, who, after taking the prescribed oath, droppad their ballots through the slit into the box, which was taken back to the Sistine Chapel, unlocked and the ballots deposited with those of the other cardinals In the chalice on the altar. The balloting this afternoon did not differ in form from that of thia morning. It ended at 6:06 p. m.. when the crowd waiting in the Piazza of St. Peters saw the smoke from the burned ballots ascend from thp 8!stlne Chapel. Owing to the lateness of the hour at which the burning of the ballots took place, many rumors became current and hope was even entertained that a new Pope had been elected, but this proved to be untrue. A number of the diplomatists accredited to the Holy See were at the Vatican during the d .y, stopping at the wicket gate, but did not have any communication with those In the conclave. The most interesting period at the wicket Is when postal and other communications for the cardinals, conclavists and the others secluded within the precincts of the conclave are received after being examined by the marshal and the governor of the conclave. The latest reports are to the effect that the condition of the sick cardinals has somewhat improved. The rules of the conclave allow a cardinal, who is sick, to leave and even to return if he so desires. Pllarrims 'i no Late to See Leo. ROME, Aug. 1. A Urge American Catholic pilgrimage, under the spiritual direction of Rev. J. Lynch of Niagara University, of Buffalo, has arrived here. Before leaving the t'nited States Father Lynch received a letter from Mgr. Bisleti, master of the chamber st the Vatican, expressing the approval of the late Pope for the pilgrimage from the United States, and saying that Leo XIII would be pleased to receive the members. The pilgrimage sailed, fearing the death of the Pope, news of which was received when the Azores were reached. The pilgrims will remain in Homo until Wednesday next. BIG SHAM BATTLE. (CONCLUDED FROM FIRST PAGE.) jumping over a rod the carbine that he carried was accidentally discharged, hitting him in the foot. After the troops returned to camp the brigade hospital and the regimental hospital were filled with .soldiers suffering mainly from sore feet. On account of the strenuous manner in which the troops were put through the march General McKee did not order the men out for dresa parade last night at 6:15 o'clock. COVERED TWENTY-FIVE MILES. It was estimated that the soldiers during the maneuvering, covered twenty-five miles. The officers In following up the troops and running from one force to the other, covered fifty miles. The same officers on their return to camp were feeling much the worse for thir trip and all ran to their baths and prepared hastily for -mess after which many of them sought their cots. Much criticism was heard about headquarters last night over the way Colonel Bowen handled his troops. Shortly after his halt on the field, he sent four signal corps men to the top of a barn as a lookout for the enemy. The umpire said in discussing the situation, that Colonel Bowen made a mistake in placing four men at the mercy of the enemy's fire when he could just as well have sacrificed but one man for the in forma lion that he wantod. Another was that when he was sighted by the scouts from the battalion of the First Regiment, he did not follow up his firing, but remained stationary and allowed the Second Regiment and the other battalions from the r irst tkegiment and the two artillery companies Wo surround his rear flank. They said he should have followed up the first firing and could easily have put the men out of commission. His move then they said should have been to march to the north of the reservation and attack the main troops of the Second Regiment on the north flank.. Instead, he allowed himself to be hemmed in. Those of the soldiers who were able to keep their eyes open after the return to camp last night, expressed themselves as much pleased with their trip. The only complaint that became public was from the troops who felt that on the march to the batUC the commanding officers worked them too hard. Among the three artillery batteries Joy was unconlined and the men cavorted about the camp jollifying over the manner in which the brigade officers had work' d them. Fenct s were no obstacle to the horses, many hurdling the tall rail fences. While many of the men succumbed to the hardships of the march, the horses were more vigorous and when camp was reached last night, there was not a lame animal in the corral. 4 FIRST RECilMKXT BAND. Vincennes Maalelana Will Toar Part of the State. The military band accompanying the First Regiment from Vincenn-s has already gained some reputation for its excellence. It is under command of MaJ. Howard Earl. It was organized in 1808 under the leadership of A. M. BaLue. Major Earl has been in command of the band since it was mustered into the service. He commanded Company H. Second Infantry, at the outbreak of the Spanish-Amer.can war. The members of the band have seen much service, some of them having played in military bands In different parts of the world. BaLue began without an instructor and through his own ability and energy has become one of the leading musicians and band masters of the States. G. L List is widely known in southern Indiana for his ability as a cornet solo player, having at one time played in this city iu what was known as the When band. John G. Hunckler is also a soloist of some note and Floyd Hoose, a lad of eighteen, Stands very high as a cornet player. John J. Goddard and William C. Cattlet, clarinet players, re also musicians of merit. Frank Boston) clarinetist, is up to Us standard. John Marvel, alto, has played for fifteen years with different bands in tne southern part of tho State. John Feidlcr, another alto, received his musical education in Kurope and Is an expert violinist mid ail around musician. Bert Ferguson and Anton Archer, also altos, are charter members ot the band. John Broeksmuh and Charles Pureed, baritones, a"j both musicians of superior skill, the latter having been connected with different bauds tor twelve years. A. F. Fischer, trombone player, is known throughout southern Indiana as one of the best in the business. Fred House, father of the Hoose family orchestra, plays a trombone in the band and is known as an excellent "slide'' man. Nicholas Le Croix, a Frenchman, who plays one of the trombones, is a musician of high standing, having served three years in the Belgian armyHe has been a member of the Canadian Guards and has seen service In the Congo Free States. Alvin MeCotiner and James Williams, trombone players, are known as all around musicians. Arthur Baker and Hugo Pomil. who play bass horns, are of the best In their line and both have uuusual ability. The base drummer is Charles G. Barsen and the man with the small drum is William T. Teschner. Both are musicians of ability. Teschuer has some reputation as a bass singer. The band Is in good shape financially, having plenty of money in tne treasury. It has a good library of standard and popular up-to-date mus.c. WILL REVIEW THE TROOPS. The Event Will Take Place at 3 o'( luck ThlM Afternoon. The Governor s review of the three regiments of the guard will take place this afternoon at 3 o'clock. The review will be held in the race track at the fair grounds and will be a pretty sight, ns the troops will be at their beat. They will wear their full uniforms and the drills will be executed with the greatest care. At 11 o'clock this. morning Colonel Burnett will go through the camp of the Third Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Bowman, and, it is expected, condemn a certain part of the property of the regiment. Colonel Arthur Wagner, of the Department of the Lakes, will leave this morning at 7 o'clock for Chicago. laeldenta of Camp Life. Capt. Hugh Rutledge, of Company K. of Martinsville, acted aa referee yesterday

evening in disposing of a dog case. One of the privates of the company recently sold a bull terrb r to another private. After the return to camp yesterday the owner of the dog called on the officer of the day for the pup. The officer refused to give up the dog, not knowing that it had recently changed hands. Some words were passed and Captain Rutledge was appealed to. He took the dog and the privates to a tent, where he said that whomsoever the dog wen to after he turned it loose would be adjudged the rightful owner. He turned it loose and it went to its new master. Cheers followed cheers from the privates who witnessed the incident. XXX Lieut. Robery Tyndall. of Major Stevenson's battalion, is now the Absalom of the camp. While on the forced march yesterday morning he had occasion to make his "fkate" go rapidly. The lieutenant, who is not of heavy proportions physically, ran under a small tree. He threw up one hand to protect his face from the branches. In doing so he became entangled in the branch-

. es anu remained n.mying. ins steeu contin ued running. It was half an hour later before the little lieutenant could extricate himself. XXX Thirteen scouts uuder command of Lleu-t-u nit Austin, of the First Regiment held a whole battalion from the Third Regiment at bay yesterday during the battle. The scouts were hidden in a hedge when they began firing on the outposts of the Third Regiment. The latter thought they had been attacked by the First Regiment and gave up the fight. XXX While the troops ran wildly over the reservation yesterday many of the men lost watches, pocketbooks and Jewelry. It was estimated that one hundred valuable watches were lost in this manner. Most of the Jewelry and money was recovered by other members of the bugle corps, who followed the troops. XXX Governor Durbln' entertained Col. Arthur L. Wagner and Captain Wiuship at his mess last night. The maneuvering of the troops during the day was discussed. OHE3TIC3 SEM BY THE STATE. Employment Office May Solve the Servant Problem. Brooklyn Eagle. If you want a housemaid New York State will get one for you promptly, obligingly and without charge. All you need to do la to sit down and write a brief note, or, better yet. step to the nearest telephone and call up 740 Madison square. If you are a "girl" and are looking for a "place." you have only to call upon the State. No a ceut will be charged, and yet situations are aa thick as blackberries. Over three hundred places are being found a month. From Jan. 1 to April 1 of this year, nearly 1,000 applicants were given employment. Better still, if a woman or man employer, of private family or of a hotel, or any servant or "help" is pettily swindled by one of the employment agencies with which Manila t tan and Brooklyn are dotted, a fee being taken, nothing coming of it, and the money not being returned, all that is needed is to visit or communicate with this .special branch of the State government, and. presto, some inside pressure is brought to bear. The employment agency comes very quickly off its high horse, and the applicant has little trouble getting his or her money back. Such is the niche of value the State government has made for itself in the affairs of its citizeus. Unfortunately this new field of State work is not nearly so well known as it might be. Comparatively few people have heard if it, and fewer yet availed themselves of Its services. Officially it is the Free Employment Bureau of New York State's department of labor. It Is located very centrally, in the Borough of Manhattan, on the parlor floor of an old brownstone house at 107 East Thirty-first street, just a door or so to the east of Fourth avenue. Since Its beginning John J. Bealin has been its superintendent. In a few paragraphs In a brief circular he has recently issued, Mr. Bealin has summed up the purposes, scope and accomplishlngs of the bureau much better than the present writer eould do by changing the wording. Here, therefore, follow some extracts: "Just a word or two about the State of Nt w York Free Employment Bureau. Naturally you will ask. 'What is the bureau? The bureau la a labor exchange conducted by the State of New York and is free to employer and employe,, the State paying the runrdng expense of the same. "The people who use this bureau to find employment rile an application, giving the name and address of their last employer. A confidential Inquiry asking as to the character, ability, etc., of the applicant is then sent the last employer, which upon Its return isffllfd away for future reference. "People living out of town al sending orders by mail should in all cases state the kind of help required, just what they would have to do, and the wages to be paid, etc. Vis-it the bureau if you can. see the party whom you intend to employ. It may cost you a little more, but it pays in the end. "When mail orders are filled and transportation i8 advanced, a postal order for the amount must be sent payable to the undersigned at Station F. New York city. Checks will not be accepted. ' If at any time it becomes necessary for you to advertise for help you can arrange to have such people meet you at this office at auy time suitable to your purpose between the hours of 9 a. m. and 5 p. m., excepting Saturday, on which day we are obliged to close at noon." On such a firm basis is this bureau now that for the ttrst three months of the year it placed in positions 61 per cent, of those applying for work, a remarkable record, all in all, when we consider that many of those who Wallt iMMStk sttBStiOm come to the Free Employment Bureau as a last resort, having gone the rounds of the agencies and failed in them because of old age or incompetency. It must not be thought, however, that these old or incompetent people are the bureau's main stock in help, or that it takes the "leavings" of the pay agencies. It is very much otherwise, as a matter of fact. The best class of domestic help is coming to go to this "labor exchange" first of ali, finding in it capital chances of securing employment without delay, and free. The bureau is working well, indeed, in more ways than one since it keeps in good behavior and on a fair and just oasis the pay agencies, many of whom need only the feeling that they are not being watched to commit all sorts of Impositions on the poor and destitute. From 9 until 2 o'clock each day domestics are in waiting in a back room, where they can be personally picked out by householders and hotel people. All kinds of labor wfll be placed or furnished by the bureau upon application, clerks, unskilled workers, house people. But it is the latter class that practically concerns this institution almost entire. y. It has become a great 'clearing house" for help, along the most model and the most efficient of lines.

A DESERT LABORATORY

MM ARIZONA IXSTITITIOX ONE MR. CARNEGIE'S GIFTS. OF Actual Work of Construction Began on Mountain Site Near Tacson What It Ia For. New York Evening Post. The actual work of construction of the Carnegie Desert Laboratory, on Its mountain site near Tucson, Arizona, was begun two weeks ago, and the terms of the contract call for its completion or. Sept. L The' board in charge of the work was notided by the Board of Commerce of Tucson on Monday last that the silff and cone scions were ready. Plans and contracts had long been prepared awaiting this event, and architect and contractor were telegraphed to begin work at once. Ground was broken the same day, and with the main building materials right at hand, the work will progress rapidly. The plans of construction, like everything else connected with the enterprise, are the results of investigation on the part of all concerned, from the architect to the scientists most intimately connected with the initial work. Careful study had to be made of climatic conditions as well as pf the demands of science in thia comparatively new field of botanical research, and some features which are somewhat novel have been decided upon, in the hope of affording comfortable as well as scientifically complete quarters for visiting and resident investigators and students. The various elevations show a plain but substantial D-shuped building covered with broad-peaked roof which affords abundant attic Bpace to aid in ventilating the interior. The high foundation walla will be built of the volcanic bowlders which now encumber the site and the main walls will be of adobe bricks made right there, of clay found on the site and baked by the sun. These walls will be especially thick and substantial, as an additional safeguard against the heat and wiH be hidden under smooth, heavy coatings of cement. The roof, wnich perhaps affords the most novel feature of construction, will rest on all sides on open lattice work some two feet high und completely shaded by the roof which projects four feet beyond the aide walls. Lärm square shafts, projecting ubove the roof, complete the system of ventilation, while big Mexican fire-places in the main rooms are meant to afford comfort on the few days that heat is required in that all too fervid, shadeless locality. The building and ell will occupy sites sixty-two feet by twenty feet, and fifty-five feet by eighteen feet respectively, and the ground plan, us shown, provides tor a large laboratory, storeroom, nbrury and private study for the resident investigator. Access to a broad porch will be hud from each of the main rooms. The structure will cost 14,000 and the need of such facilities as it will offer has been felt for years by all botanists interested in the peculiar vegetation found in desert pluces. DESERT CONDITION. Contrary to the general Idea deserts are rarely mere barren wastes, but are the habitat of particularly interesting plants adapted to withstand long perlodsof drought and v ery scant annual raiufallat best. Thick succulent leaves like those of the aloe, or century plant as it Is more commonly known, or great columns, wide blades, and triangular shapes that the cacti delight to assume, are characteristic features of desert flora, the plants being great storehouses of moisture, which is laid by against the many da.) s when no water is to be had. In almost all instances nature arms tho plants against animal attack with quantities of most vicious and keen spines. Nor are the deserts entirely aoandoned by man, but on the contrary the natives of such piaces have learned, along with the plants, to make the most of such uupiomising surroundings m the struggle for existence, and wid discover unuei ground supPlies of water or will force plains to give up their supplies in places and ways mat more civilised people would never dream of. Civilized man has never, however, been backward in his endeavor to subdue the deserts to his needs, and botanists have for years risked health and strength in the search of such localities of knowieugo which will aid man iu battle ugainst desert conditions. It is estimated that there are a million square miles of such lands in North America. Field study in these lands is always arduous and otten dangerous, and the accumu.ation of knowledge concerning them has been necessarily siow. These facts Were presented to the Carnegie institution several months ago, and UM institution made an appropriation of I&.OÜ0 for the establishment of the laboratory and its maintenance for one year. To further insure the ultimate success of the undertaking, the executive committee of the institution requested Dr. .Daniel Trembly McDougul, first assistant and director of the laboratories of the Xew York Botanical Garden, and Frederick V. jovTTie, chief of the division of botany of the Department of Plant Industry of the United States Department of Agriculture, to Iook up a favorable site for the new laboratory. SHOOS1NG THE SITE. They accepted the task, and spent some five weeks in exploring desert regions in various localites at widely divergent points. Among some of the more Important places visited were the Chihuahua and the Tularosa desert, the latter of which proved the most interesting. Field work was done in Mexico between Los Nedano and Samalayuca, and in the neighborhood of Nogales, a town which is half in Mexico and half in Arizona, and a hurried trip was also made to the Mojave desert, but only a short stay was made there, as Mr. Coville was pretty familiar with the conditions there, having explored the desert quite thoroughly on a previous trip which is known as the 'Death Valley Expedition." Tularosa desert was interesting from the dazzling white sand which prevails. It is a coarse gypsum soluble In cold water, and the solution, which is strongly alkaline, supports only such vegetation as can endure thealkaU. The tract examined near Los Nedano was peculiar from the number of immense sand dunes which are slowly traveling over the plain in the direction of the prevailing

THE INVESTIGATOR'S TASK. He will find his new home in the heart of a land where the current expression has it that the inhabitant digs for wood and climbs for water. Dr. Cannon will And that the wood for his fireplaces will certainly have to be' dug. The only wood available Is the mesquite, hard in texture and determined in growth.

It is these roots that are dug and used for firewood. Dr. . Cannon will not, however, have to climb the mountains, as tile natives arc wont to do, in search of a spring to furnish him the all-important water. A well Is to be sunk to supply the laboratory with water for its needs, and tin supply will be stored in a tank on the laboratory with a capacity of 2.00U gallons. It is calculated that water will not be found until a depth of 150 feet is reached, and the search for It will have to be begun on the level at the foot of the hills. This will make the lift of the water to the tank a question of raising it to a height of some 000 f et. Electricity will be depended upon to pump the water Into the tank and the laboratory will be lighted by electric lamps. The plan. of the building were prepared by S. F. Forbes, architect, and the connstructlon is in charge of Contractor F. W. Brown.
