GENERAL BUTTERFIELD BETTER l
But Dr. Murdock Says lie Require. I
Long Period 0! lost.
NEWBURG, N. Y., Aug. 22.—Genera1
Daniel Butterfield, chairman of the Dew-
ey 1eception executive committee, who
has been seriously sick at his home at
Gold Spring, 15 now, in the opinion of his
attending physician, out of danger, but
he will not be able to again take up the
duties of arranging for the reception to
Admiral Dewey, and his place at the
head of the executive committee will
have to be taken by another man. Dr.
G. W. Murdock of Cold Spring, who has
been General Butterfield’s family physi-
cian for several years, said:
“General Butterfield was taken sick
last Thursday night on his arrival home-
after a Hard day’s work on the Dewey
reception committee. He was stricken
with aphasia, a form of brain trouble
which incapacitates the patient: from ex-
pressing himself. There wcre other symp-
toms. such as deafness and headache, and
for three days the general was in a crit-
ical condition. Sunday I called Dr. Ban-
ister, post surgeon at West Point, in con~
sultation and also sent telegrams to Dr.
Dana, Dr. Starr, Dr. Janeway and Dr.
J ames,'all specialists in nervous diseases,
practicing in New York, but they were
all out of the city and could not be
reached. \Vithin the past 24 hours Gen-
eral Butterfield has shown a very decid-
ed improvement, and I now consider him
out of danger. I inve countermanded all
of the calls to New York specialists. I
wrote last night to Mayor Van W'yck,
telling him that the general’s condition
1.
was such that he would be unable to re- I
sume the duties of the committee. It will 1
be some time before he will be well '
enough to leave his home. I think that
he needs a long period of rest.”

Il‘lse Philippine Commissioner Tell.
of His Visit to the Islands.
CHICAGO, Aug. 21.—Jacob Gould
Schurman, United States commissioner
to the Philippines, has a11ived in Chica-
go. He has just completed a six months’
study of the islands at the instance of
President McKinleyr He left for his ho 039
at Ithaca, N. Y., and will report to
president as soon as a meeting can be ar-l
ranged. In an interview he said:
“So far as the results of my olficial ne-
gotiations with the representatives of
Aguinaldo or other Filipino officials are 3
concerned, I am net at liberty to talk till ‘
I have made my report to the president.
Concerning the islands in general, how-
Qve1, there is much to be told. In my
opinion the rebellion, the last of which 1
we are trying to suppress, was due 11: the
first place to several causes, the principal
at which were the t ranny of some of'
the religious o ers, t e exercise of arbi
trary power by e governor generals and
the delay and corru on of justice. 1
“The leaders of t ‘e rebellion tell their
followers the most astounding tales of
the Amara ans, and the common. people
lieve the pr sts under Agerlqah
' ru e would s ject t _e_1n to the same tyni
anny. That the Aniétican army killed
priests or otherwise maltreated church
men or church property is, I believe, ut-
terly witho'iit foundation.
“Aguinald'o is believed in the islands to- '
be honest, and I think that he is acting .
honestly in money matters, but whether 3
from mo1al or political reasons I' would
not say. While I do not care to discuss
the 1eal motives behind the rebellion at
this time, I will say that if it were sup-
pressed there would be many profllnent
native ofliCials out of an occupation.”
Mr. Schurman declined to answer the
question whether he had been the sub- ;
ject of any antl-imperialistic communica- 1
tions, saying that on that question or any
which touched it even indirectly he would 1
not speak. He also declined to give an ;
opinion on the length of time it wouid1
take to suppress the rebellion. W’hen'
asked if he considered the retention of:
the Philippines good policy on the part of ,
this country, Mr. Schurman said that the ,
resources of the islands were great, but I
that he must decline to commit himself .
on the subject of making them a part of
this country.

plain, went down to the Plattsburg bar-

ment. As he entered the grounds a sa~
lute of 13 guns was fired in his honor.
lThe general was delighted with. the ap-
pearance of the regiment and compli2
mented the officers highly. He said to
Colonel Rice after the inspection:
“I have taken occasion to compliment
the men on their steadiness in ranks and
their soldierly appearance. I am now
glad of the opportunity to repeat to you,
officers of the Twenty-sixth regiment,
and to tell you that I can say withéut
exaggeration that I have never seen so
fine and able looking a set of young ofil-
cers as those of this regiment, and, know-
ing personally as I do that you have a
colonel, lieutenant colonel and majors all
of whom have seen service, I have no
hesitation in saying that the Twenty-
sixth regimént will do credit to itself .
more than the presi at and people of
the United. States coal expect.”
General Merritt 1111 had a talk 'with
President McKinley on the situation In
the Philippines, but there is no present
intention of sending him to Manila to re-
lieve General Otis.

house Concern For Damages.
NEW YORK, Aug. 22. -What promises
to be a battle royal is soon to be fought
out in the New York supreme court be-
tween the Westinghouse and New: York
Airbrake companies.
Hereto‘fore the Westinghouse company
has been the-aggressor, but now the New
York company intends, if possible, to
make its powerful rival pay for alleging
that it had the exclusive right to manu-
facture airbralies for cars and engines
such as those- made by the New York
company.
Cary & Whitridge, attorneys for the
New York company, served papers yes.
terday on the attorneys for the Westingf
house company in a suit to recover $1,-
000,000 for damages alleged to have been-
sustained in loss of business since Judge
Wallace of the United States lrcuit
court gave a decision in May, 1 8, fl.-
vorable to the New York company, dis-
missing charges of infringement prefer-
red by the Westinghouse company.
This suit is also aimed individually at
George Westinghouse; Jr., president of
the Westinghouse company, but in the
absence of Mr. Westinghouse from the
city Paul D. Cravath, attorney for the
company, is said to have agreed to ac-
cept service.
Was Connor-s Murdei-ed'
WEBSTER, Mass, Aug. 21. ——Thelife-
less body of a man, which was afterward
identified as that of John Connors of O]
neyville, R. I., was discovered on the-
tracks of the: Norwich and IVorcester
railroad, but although both ears were»
missmg and there were other wounds on:
the head, there was little evidence that
the man had been killed by a train, and
the authorities are of the opinion that
death was caused by human hands. A
hunied examination before the medical
examiner ar1ived showed that the woupda
apparently had been inflicted by a dou-
pling pin and the ears cut 011 afterward
The condition of the body showed that it
had not been hit or mangled by a train.
The clothes were not soiled in the least.
The body was identified th ough letters
addressed to Mr. Connors hich we1e
found in his pocket, and he also was
identified by f1iends who am ved with him
in the Thi1d Connecticut infantry during
the recent war. Connors came here to
visit a number of these comrades and
seemed particulaly free in showing a
large roll of bills, while he also wore 11
valuable watch and chain. Nothing of
any value was found in his clothing, with
the exception of a 10 cent piece in his
wallet.
