Telephones For Signalling.
Col. N. H. Heft, chief electrician of
the Consolidated road, is said to be
working on a system of telephonic
communication for signal towers which
when perfected will cause the retire-
ment of hundreds of telegraph opera-
tors. The telephone is now in use on
some of the small branches of the old
New England road, where the business
is small and a saving of expense nec-
essary. There are those who predict
that in the near future the telephonic
plan will be extended to the smaller
divisions and finally to the main line.
An operator capable of working the
lever in towers would be able to attend
to a telephone. The operators are con-
siderably worried over the possible
change.

PRESIDENT TO VISIT CAMP M EADE.
To Review 18,000 Troops on Saturday,
Camp Meade, Middletown, P9... A110.
26.—Major General Graham received a
telegram from Secretary of War Alger
yes-terday, announcing that President
McKinley would pay an informal visit
on Saturday to Camp Meade. The gen-
eral will at once arrange for a review of
the troops in honor of the president.
There are upward of 12,000 men in
camp, and by Saturday the number will
be nearly 18,000. The Sixth Pennsylva-
nia w 11‘ arrive this evening and within
forty- -eight hours the entire Second di-
vision will be moved from Thorough-
fare Gap. The movement of the troops
from Camp Alger, where the Eghth.
Twelfth, and Thirteenth Pennsylvania
regiments are located, will begin to-
day.
The president will probably come to
Camp Meade by special train and go
from here to Camp Wikoff, New York.
Members of his cabinet and the dip-
lomatic corps, and some personal
friends will come with him. The Penn-
sylvania road has built a station at the
entrance to the camp grounds, and
hereafter all local trains will make this
a. stopping point. Excursions will be
run to the camp by the company on
Sunday from Philadelphia. and Pitts-
burg.
Four members of the Third battalion
of the Sixteenth Pennsylvania have
asked Lieutenant Colonel Rickarts for
their discharge, and their papers will
be forwarded to Washington.
The First battalion of the Eighteenth
Pennsylvania regiment will reach camp
to-day from Alliance, Ohio.
There is no change in the condition
of Colonel Norman M. Smith of ‘the
Eighteenth, who was overcome by the
heat Tuesday evening.
A man who refused 1to give his name
was detected yesterday selling whis-
key in camp. He was arrested and
handed over to the chief burgess of
Middletown.
INFORMATION ABOUT THE DEAD
Many Requests for Details and Effects
at the War Department.
Washington, Aug. 26.—The War de-
partment is in receipt of many letters
from the relatives of dead officers and
soldiers, asking for further informa-
tion. In instances where the cases are
borne on the hospital rolls there is no
difficulty in rendering information and
forwarding the effects, but little or
nothing is procurable' where men have
died in the field.
Some of the inquiries are made that
insurance maybe secured, but in most
cases sentiment alone actuates the re
quests. The surgeon general of the
army has directed that full returns be
made promptly from surgeons on duty
in hospitals, that these Inquiries may
be answered satisfactorily. The chap-
lains in the field have done valuable
service in sendlii'g messages to friends
of dying officers and men, and in most
cases they have secured, some‘memento
which. will beg-treasured by .the liv.
ing.
DISGUST IN MADRID
They Think That Santiago Was Sutton
;1iered _To‘o‘ Soon. _
Madrid Aug 26. -The newspapers
and the general public display consid-
erable disgust at the hasty surrender
of Santiago deCuba since hearing the
storieswith regard, to the adequate de-
fensive conditions prevailing there ‘Itold
by the repatriated soldiers who arrived
yesterday at Corunna. by the Spanish
steamer Alicante.
There have been six deaths among
the returned soldiery since their arrival
and many others are feared.
A special commission is now meeting

tine. Trhe military authorities have.
begun the distribution of arrears of
pay 1to the repatriated troops.
Schley Again on the Brooklyn.
New York, Aug. 26.—Admiral Schley.
who has been testing for a few days
at his home in Saugatuck, Conn, ar-
rived at the Grand Central station in
this city at 10.15 o’clock yesterday. He
at once entered a. carriage and drove
to the Battery, whence he took 13. Staten
Island ferry boa-t for Tompkxlnsville.
There he boarded the Brooklyn.
On his way to Tompkinsville Admiral
Schley stopped at the office of a. well
known Wall street firm. He met there
several friends from Washington, all
of whom greeted him enthusiastically.

and for that reason was not generally
recognized on the street.
Examining League Island Navy Yard;
Philadelphia, Aug. 26.—Commodore
Farquh-ar of the Norfolk navy yard,
and C. W. Parks of the bureau of yards
and docks, arrived at the League island
navy yard yesterday and made an ex-
amination of the river front with a
view of fixing upon a. location for the
big dry dock recently authorized by
Congress. After completing the inspec—
tion Commodore Farqu'hzar expressed
his belief that, on account of its fa-
cilities, League island will most likely
be made the central station in naval
construction.
Deer Plentirul in the Adirondacks.
Old Forge, N. Y., Aug. 26.—It is the
universal testimony of hunters and vis-
itors in the Adirondacks that the deer
have never before been so plentiful in
this region as during the present sea.-
son, which opened August 15.
The prohibition of hunting with dogs
or at night with “jacks” has had a
most beneficial effect, and the still hun-
ter is now sure of some good sport.
‘ To Hold the Philippines.
New York, Aug. 26.—New York busi—
ness men do not favor the idea of giv-
111;,, up the Philippines. A petition has
been circulated by them to be forward-
ed :to President McKinley, calling on
him not Ito surrender the islands. This
petition, although having been in circu-
lation only a few days, has the signa-
tures of a large number of prominent
business men in the city.

tors of the Trans-Mississippi Exposi-
tion :has passed a set of resolutions for-

simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the CALI-

cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is-
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and

ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
