CAPTAIN DYER GETS" A LETTER.
The Conunnndcr of. the Baltimore
‘ Says Our Soldiers Endure Enough
NVithout ~Being Dechied and
_ 1,13, .u... Abused by Cranks.
BOSTON, July 12.-——Captain Dyer,
who commanded the Baltimore at Manila
under Admiral Dewey, has denounced
Secretary Erving \Vinslow of the Anti-
imperialist league as a traitor because
of an open letter \‘v'inslow wrote to Dyer.
“'inslow wrote the letter in answer to a
recent interview in which Captain Dyer
said that the. anti-imperialists should‘be
put down.
Captain Dyer, when he saw the letter.
denounced the league and the letter in
the most emphatic terms. This is the
letter:
"Captain N. M. Dyer. Melrose:
“Sir—I see that you state in a recent
interview that the anti—imperialists must
be put down. How do you propose tha'
it should be done? On the other hand,
let me tell you that we have. reason to be-
lieve that a majority of the people of the
United States is resolved to put down the
martial spirit which has been recently
let loose in yellow journalism, in certain
official quarters and in the “service,”
which threatens civil rights at home and
peace and justice abroad. They do not
intend much longer to tolerate the arro-
gance of a class of servants primarily
needed by a republic as a police force.
The passing indulgence in an enthusiasm
for personal bravery which is the acci-
dent of the hour is not to be mistaken for
a popular approval of a militarism for-
eign to the spirit of a free people. I am
your obedient servant,
. "EIAVING \VINSLOV '.”
Captain Dyer, after reading the letter,
did not display any remarkably kind feel-
ing toward “’inslow of the Anti-impe-
rialist league. -
On the contrary he declared the letter
an insult to the American army and
navy. ‘
“tho is this fellow \l'inslow, any-
way?" asked the captain.
“The secretary of the league,” replied
the reporter. '
“\Vell, he ought to be denounced as a
traitor to his country for writing such a
letter. It is absolutely too foolish for me
to answer. He ought to be treated with
silent contempt, and I have nothing to
say to a fellow of his stripe. Any one
who will deliberately oppose and try to ,
prevent the work of the army and navy
of his country is as low in my estimation
as though he were to deliberately take up
arms against his country and should be
taken in hand at once.
“The American soldiers are enduring
enough perils and hardships in the Phil-
ippiues without being decried and dc—
nounced by a few Boston cranks who
have taken it into their heads that the
administration is carrying on the cam-
paign for the fun of the thing. Senator
Mason says that the war is being carried
on without the sanction of congress.
What does this gentleman think our na-
tion would do if we were attacked by one
of the European powers? Does he think
the president would wait to declare war
till congress had assembled? I am tired
with this rot about imperialism. The
men who opposed the action of the gov-
ernment in the recent crisis are of too
little consequence to be noticed.”

LONDON, July 12.—The salvagers
have moved the American line steamer
Paris astern for a distance of 150 yards
and have shifted the vessel’s position
slightly to the eastward. They hope to
be able to get the after stokehold fires
alight. The Paris is now clear of the
roéks. The sea is smooth. but a heavy
f '1' prevails. The intention of the sal-
v gers was simply to slew the stern of
the liner so as to facilitate the opera-
tions of the divers‘, but it was found that

WASHINGTON, July 11.—-—Under date
of Manila, July 9, Major General Otis
telegraphs to the adjutant general as fol- '
lows:
“T‘WO veteran regiments assured. ‘Vill
enlist about 1,000. You can appoint 11
second lieutenants for first and nine for
second regiment to recruit in the United
States. All other olfices filled. Regi-
ments styled First and Second Philip-
pine United States veteran volunteers in-
fantry.”
The 20 second lieutenants referred to
by General Otis will be appointed in
this country as soon as possible and will
begin recruiting when they receive their"
commissions. As stated by General Otis,
all other officers will be taken from
among soldiers now serving in the Phil-
ippines.
The designation given to the regiments
by.General Otis will be changed to
“Thirty-sixth and Thirty-seventh infan-
try regiments. Unitcd States volunteers,”
so as to conform to the rule adopted in
regard to the volunteer army. About
1,600 recruits will be procured in the
United States to fill the ranks of the
two regiments to the required strength.
The officers and members of the volun-
teer company composed of men honora-
bly discharged from the army at the
close of the Spanish—American war
which has been raised in this city for
service in the Philippines are wondering
what action the war department will
take in regard to the tender of their
services, made some. time ago.
Captain Percy VT'. Mott, formerly of
the Second Arkansas volunteers, is in
command of the organization. He thinks
that the chances of the company for scl-
ing service in the Philippines are good.
It has been named the “McKinley sharp-
shooters” in honor of the president.
In company with Genegal Hawley,
Captain Moss called upon the president
last “'ednesduy. but a meeting of the
cabinet nude an interview impossible.
Adjutant General Corbin has also been

“'ASHIN‘GTON. July .ll.—Secretary
Alger is very anxious to have the new
regiments recruited as far as possible
from men who served in the state volun-
teers during the Spanish war. He has
received information from a number of
officers, especially those who were on
duty mastering out the volunteers in dif-
ferent states, that if there was an oppor-
tunity afforded probably 90 per cent of
the new regiments would be composed of
these men. Of course under the regula-
tions the recruiting officers cannot dis-
criminate between the men who have
been in the volunteer service and those
who have not, and men will he enlisted
as they apply without regard to their
previous service records.
-Repnirs For the Raleigh.
IVASHINGTON, July 11.fThe cruis-
er Raleigh, which was with Admiral
Dewcy’s fleet in the battle of Manila Bay,
is to undergo extensive alterations in-
volving an outlay of about $245,000. A
naval survey board has reported a gen?
eral plan of repairs. They include new
boilers, new decks, the removal of as
much of the wood upper work as possi-
ble, iron bulkheads, batches and a better
system of ventilation. The present heavy
masts are to be taken out and light pole
masts substituted. It is probable that the
conning towers will also be taken off.
The Raleigh is now at the Portsmouth
yard. where the repairs will probably be
made.
A Change at Annapolis.
IVASHINGTON, July .11.—Secretary
Long has determined to largely increase
the importance of the course of steam
engineering as taught at Annapolis. The
change will take place at the beginning
of the next term. Under the terms of
the personnel law line officers are sub-
ject to detail to care for the engines of a
ship just as they might be placed in
charge of ordnance or assigned to duty
as navigators. This work heretofore has
been entirely in the hands of; the engi-
neer corps. line ollicers not being re—
quired hitherto to have more than a gen-
eral knowledge of engineering.

told them he probably would make the

CONVENTION CLOSED
Christian Endeavorers’ Eight-
eenth Meeting a Success.
.3 ~ ',
LARGEST ATTENDANCE ON I RECORD.
Thirty Thousand Persons Simulta-
neously Present at the Meetings.
Closing Addresses by Dr. Chap-
man and Bishop Vincent.
DETROIT, July 11.—The eighteenth
international convention of Christian
Endeavor closed last night amid scenes
of impressive .solemnity attending the
utterance of ‘fthe last word" by the pres-
ident and secretary in each of the great
tents respectively. following responses
from each state and country represented
and last exhortations from M. E. Bishop
Vincent of Kansas and Evangelist Chap-
man of New York.
,At all previous meetings the audiences
assembled quietly, but last evening for
some time before the calling to order of
the two great gatherings Tents Endeavor
and \Villiston were babels of sounds and
scenes. The state, provincial and for-
eign delegations were grouped in desig-
nated bunches divided about equally be-
tween the two tents. Each had its own
particular rally cry, and each delega-
tion took pleasure in making it known to
the extent of its lung power. "The dele-
gations which were not shouting were
singing. Music Conductor Foster finally
made himself heard without the aid of a
megaphone. and all the voices were
turned into the inspiring volumes of
“Holy, Holy. Lord God Almighty,” with
much improved effect.
The following statement as to at-
tendance. etc., was given out by Secre-
tary Baer:
“\Vithout doubt the attendance at this
convention has very much exceeded that
of any other Christian Endeavor conven-
tion ever held in the matter of those
present at the various meetings. This
estimate takes into account the great
convention at Boston in 189-3. That is to
say. out of the 28,000 Endeavorers
registered, which is the estimate of the
reception committee and includes mem-
bers. there have bccu more who attended
meciings than at any previous time. The
estiiiizlféof attbndancc at meetings gives a
total of 298.500. There were 28,000 En-
deavorers ’in attendance, including De-
troit delegates.”
Thirty thousand persons simultaneous-
ly attended strictly Christian Endeavor
meetings. These figures do not include'
the 06 noon evangelistic meetings, which
had a total attendance of 15,000 and 100
professed convcirsions. '
The chairman of each state and pro-
vinElhl delegation and those from abroad
were calTéd to the platform and testified
each for his people and their aspirations
as indorsers. Then they sang together.

During a recess in these responses
each member of the 1890 committee was
called out. They

attendance at Detroit was
against 50,400 at Boston that the meet-
ings in Detroit were attended by larger
.numbers than were those at Boston.
Chairman IV. H. Strong of the local
committee responded appropriately to
the compliments tendered before the two
mighty audiences and attributed the suc-
cess of the convention chiefly to: indivi-
dual faithfulness.
Great Britain's leading representa-
tives, Messrs. Tressidde‘r and Murscil of
London and Pollock of Glasgow, stood
together and sang "Britain For Christ."
Then all sang stanzas of “God Save the
Queen" and “American.” Dr. J. “'ilbur

Bishop John H. Vincent: of the M. E.

ANOTHER PARTS SCANDAL.
Reported Seizure of Papers In a.
Death Chulnli'er.
PARIS, July 10.—Scan:§;’a;lous reports
are in circulation in connection with the
death here Saturday of Signor C. Ress—
man, formerly Italian em'bassador to
France. It is alleged that’ while he was
lying at the. point of death three persons,
including an oflicial of the Italian em-
bassy, rifled? his rooms and took away a
quantity of papers.
The anti-Semite journals connect the
story with the Dreyfus affair. It ap-
pears that about a fortnight ago Signor
Ressman had an immense: quantity of
documents destroyed, declaring that if
they were left they might “harm various
people."
'It is also suggested that the search
may havebeen instigated by Signor Cris-
pi. the former Italian prime minister.
who practically dismissed fignor Ress:
man from the Italian embassy in Paris
in 1805 because the diplomatiist. had fail-
ed to make the French press favorable
to the Crispr. government.
Lightning In the Adirondacks.
PLATTSBURG. N. Y.. July 10.——Dur-
ing a terrific thunderstorm: yesterday aft-
ernoon three persons were more or less
seriously injurd by a bolt of lightning at
the HoteH Pocahontas at Fern lake, in
the Adirondacks. Mrs. Hathaway, wife
of the hotel proprietor. and her 9-year-old
daughter were standing near the door
while the storm was passing. A thun-
derbolt entered the hotel by the telephone
and passed out through the door, render-
ing Mrs. Hathaway unconscious and
hurling the child from the veranda to the
yard. about ten feet below. Mrs. John
D. Fillmore of New York, who was sit-
ting near the. child at the time, was so
blinded by the belt that she did not re-
gain her eyesight until a couple of hours
afterward. Several houses in this sec-
tion were struck'by lightning and de-
stroyed.

a. Surprise After the Boasts of Cer-

HAVANA, July 10.—-Havana society
admits that no other social function held
here of late years could compare with
the reception and ball given Saturday
evening by General Ludlow.,the military
governor. Innumerable red, white and
blue electric lights, thousands of roses,
hundreds of flags and no end of sabers,
bayouets and rifles artistically grouped
made the scene within the palace one
never to be forgotten by the thousand
and more guests who attended. Music
was furnished by two military bands.
All the foreign consuls were in evidence,
most of them wearing glittering orders,
and many of the women were ablaze with
diamonds. General Ludlow gave the func-
tion in honor of Independence day, and
the representative Cubans and Spaniards
of, Havana were present.
American oflicials here are surprised at
the large number of Cubans now apply—
ing in the province of Santiago for a
share in the American gratuity. The
Cuban officers had assured them that
there were not 100 men in the province
who would accept money from the Unit-
ed States, basing the assurance on tele-
grams which purported _to come from
Santiago. Even when it became known
that these dispatches were inspired by
Cuban malcontents here and concocted
in the Inglaterra cafe, it was still felt
that these opponents of a rational solu-
tion of the Cuban army question might
be able to prevent a large number from
applying to the American paymastcrs.
At Sancii Spiritus. out of 180 men mus-
tered out payment has bcefi made to 177).
Sixty weapons have been delivered to the
mayor of the city. Two hundred and
eighty-four applications have been re-
fused. The supplementary lists will be
ready in about ten days.
A dispatch from I‘uerto Principe says
the rural guards there were notified of
the presence of a band of 40 armed men
near the city and pursued them to Curva-
jal plantation, where the outlaws gave
fight from behind a stone wall. After ten
minutes of hot firing the band made a
dash for the road and escaped, losing one
man, Luis Cruz, a former resident of
Nuevitas and always a worthless char-
acter. The rural guards had two men
wounded. They captured 15 horses which
the outlaws had been lending. The band
recently stole eight rifles, a number of re-
volvers and machetes and a quantity of
cartridges, with which it was evidently
intended to arm additional men.

CHICAGO, July 10.—The Polish resiv

The following resolution was adopted:
“That we, Polish-American citizens, can
see no reason for an alliance between
this government. for whose establishment
Kosciusko fought and Pulaski died, and
that of England or any other modarchic-
al power; that neither the traditions, the
instincts nor the necessities of the Amer-
ican nation call for sach an alliance, and
that we as Polish-American citizens pro-
test against it and pledge ourselves to

didate or any party which may advocate

Train Wrecker Caught.
READING, Pa. July 10.-—-H. W. Sel-
lers, aged 35 years, of this city, was de-
tected yesterday in the act of wedging
spikes and bolts to the rails of the Mount
Penn Gravity railroad. Trains run fre-
quently and on Sundays carry their great-
est crowds. Had the man not been de-
tected a terrible wreck would no doubt
have followed. Irwin Beadencup and
Charles Shearer saw him on his hands
and knees at his dastardly act. When
they attempted to arrest him, he fought
desperately, but was finally overpowered
and now occupies a cell at the police sta-
tion. He is believed to be insane.

Dr. Curtiss Wants to Aid Andrew
Carnegie to Die Poor and Asks
For Fifty Millions to
Found a School.
JOLIET, Ills., July 11.—-Dr. Romaine
J. Curtiss of this city, an eminent author-
ity and writer on bacteriology, who for-
merly held the chair of this science in the
Chicago College of Physicians and Sur-
geons, has written an open letter to An-
drew Carnegie in which he states that
if the human being adapts his environ-
ment to his life and the possibilities of
his organism he can live 1,000 years; that
the secret of long life is the destruction
of parasitism, and that the establishment
of an institution for the teaching of hy-
giene would require $30,000,000, but
would be the greatest investment made
for human welfare since the birth of
Christianity.
Further, he invites Mr. Carnegie to
supply the necessary money and so be-
come the world’s greatest benefactor to
mankind. Dr. Curtiss writes in part:
“The average longevity is from 25 to
30 years, and the average death rate is
22 per 1,000. One person in 1,000,000
lives to be 100 years old.
“It is a scientific truth that parasitism
is the cause of death. Therefore the ab-
solute destruction of parasitism can in-
crease the duration of life to 1,000 years.
“The whole tendency and custom of
the world is to shorten life. Latterly a
new energy Of the most powerful propor-
tions is at work to slide the scale of ne-
rcditary length of days a notch further to-
ward infancy. This is the custom of em-
ploying only young men and discharging
all hands at 30 years of age. This force
alone in 100 years from now will so
change mental powers that men will be
in their prime at 25 and unfit at 40.”
Dreyfus’ Persecufors to Be Punished
PARTS, July 11.—-It is rumored that
as a result of the revelations of the in-
human cruelty practiced upon Dreyfus
while on Devil’s island M. Lebon, the
minister who was responsible for the or-
ders sent to M. Dcniel while in charge of
the penal settlement where Dreyfus was
confined, will be proceeded against, the
government not confining its action to
the dismissal of Deniel. M. Bertillon,
the handwriting expert who testified be-
fore the court of cassation that Dreyfus
was the author of the border-can, still re-
mains at the head of the anthropometric
department of the prefecture of poliee,
but has been deprived of his official d11-
tics.
Rich Find of Copper.
TORONTO. July 11.—It is announced
that copper ore of almost incredible ex-
tent and richness has been found in the
Parry sound district within about seven
hours’ railway distance of Toronto. The
discovery was due practically to an
American mining expert named Forbes,
who has organized two companies, one
composed entirely of St. Paul capitalists
and the other composed of Canadian and
St. Paul men. which have secured all of
the claims in the neighborhood and have
Commenced operations on an extensive
scale. The result of the operations of
these companies will prove to be almost
if not quite equal to the great Anaconda.
Equuhle Treatment For Shippers.
CHICAGO, Ju y 11.——After consider-
ing the matter four days the presidents
of all the big railroads between Chicago
and the Atlantic seaboard have agreed
that on and after Aug. 1 Chicago ship-
pers must pay from 3 to 5 cents more on
the 100 pounds for the transportation or
their grain to the eastern markets. More
than this. the chief executive officers of
these roads say that with the new tariff
there will be no more secret deals with
big consignors, that the man with the
carload of grain must be given the same
rate as he who can promise a train load.
and those rates must be the ones printed
and posted for public inspection.

The Fairbanks-Foster Party
Returns From the North.
WE SHOULD NOT YIELD AN INCH.
The White' and Chilcoot Passes Are
the Storm Center of the Dispute.
Canadians Hope to Secure a
Klondike Port of Entry.
TACOMA, July 10.-——The Fairbanks-
Foster Alaskan boundary party has re-
turned from the north, and interviews
with members of the party indicate that
the watershed on \Vhite pass, back of
Skaguay and Dyea, will be accepted as
the international boundary line at that
point. The White and Chilcoot passes
constitute the storm center of the Alaska
boundary. At those points the Canadians
hope to secure concessions that will en-
able them to anchor down a port of entry
into the Klondike goldfields. All other
parts of the country thereabouts where
concessions are ”looked for are of little ,
importance compared with the Lynn ca-
nal, which is the key to the situation.
Senator Fairbanks, when interviewed,
placed importance on the fact that he
.must sit with the joint high commission
in August, but declined to state what
lines of argument he would take up. Be-
garding boundary matters that were dis—
cussed during the four weeks spent in
Alaska Senator Foster declined to speak.
“Personally,” he said, “I am opposed
to yielding an inch of United States ter—
ritory. A careful investifiation, however,
demonstrates that there may be difiercut
constructions placed upon the treaties
involved as regards channels, the situation
of lesser islands and the like. But in the
main the United States is plainly given
a strip of territory north of Portland ca-
nal or thereabouts ten marine leag’ws
inland, except where a well defined
mountain range placed the boundary
nearer the coast. ,This strip runs 1:3
Mount St. Elias. Many contend at h»
passes that the watershed back of '
guay and Dyea is the dividing lin .
the one side are the head wate'
Yukon and on the other tl‘ ~- '
flowing into Lynn canal are four-3
tween these two districts the.‘
chain of mountains. in the opiu. of
some bringing the boundary line some 18
miles nearer the coast. This seems to be
a fair expression of the American view
of the boundary question. By this con—
struction of the treaty it is held England
will receive the benefit of every point
that can be fairly and honestly granted.
“On the other hand, however, the Ca—
nadians and many of the English hold
that the boundary should be drawn 30
miles, or ten marine leagues, inland from
the headlands. By such a construction,
of course, Lynn canal would be an inlet
into Canadian territory, and three ma-
rine. leagues inland from the headlands
at the entrance would be many miles
south of Skaguay and Dyea. and hence
Canada and England would have the
coveted port of entry without a question
of doubt. As I look upon it personally,
Lynn canal is a part of the ocean. It
would be unfair to draw a line 30 miles
inland from the entrance to bodies of
water of that nature and call it the
boundary under the treaty.”
Gold Standard For India.
LONDON, July 10.—The report of the
parliamentary committee on Indian cur-
rency, just issued in the form of a blue
book, approves the decision of the gov-
ernment not to revert to a silver stand‘
ard. It argues that it would be impossi-
ble to maintain the status quo perma—
nently and. therefore recommends that
measures be taken to introduce a gold
standard, with the British sovereign as
legal tender, and advises that the Indian
mints be allowed to coin without restric—
tion on the same terms as the Australian
mints. The report says in conclusion:
-“The effective establishment of a gold
standard is of paramount importance to
the material interests of India not only
to promote existing trade, but to encour-
age the influx of capital.”
