VON WALD'ERSEE’S AD VANCE.
His Promotion to Be a. Field Marshal and
His Ability to \Vear, 'Von Moltke’s
Mantle—Prince Hohenlohe’s Mis-
sion—The War on Socialists.
BERLIN, Sept. 16.—According to mili-
tary experts, the army maneuvers in the
vicinity of Stettin last week were a great
success and demonstrated amply the excel-'
lent discipline of the men who, it is repre-
sented, are shown to be ready for the in-
itiative'of their commanders. It has also
been shown, according to the same au-
thorities, that the days of the usefulness
of cavalry are by no means past, as had,
been asserted in some quarters. Both
German and foreign experts are loud in
their praises of the skill displayed by Em-
peror William in handling the troops in
Thursday’s action, which followed the
plan which he had personally designed. A
new system of field telegraphy which was
introduced in this' engagement proved
most satisfactory.
Perhaps the only thing in connection
with the army maneuvers Which has left
any ill feeling is the fact that the Count
of Turin, second son of the deceased broth-
er of King Humbert of Italy, was treated
with decided coolness at Stettin. It is al-
leged that Emperor William was greatly
annoyed that the count, instead of Crown
Prince Victor, was delegated to represent
Italy among the-royal guests at the ma-
neuvers. It is understood that King
Humbert did not send the. crown prince
to Germany, for fear that by so doing he
would give Offense to France.
The squadron of evolution maneuvering
at sea Off 'Dantzic put into the roads yes-
terday, accompanied by the royal yacht
Hohenzollern, with Emperor William on
board.
The Man of the Hour.
The promotion of Count von Waldersee
to be a field marshal has directed atten—
tion anew to a man who is destined to
play a leading part in the next great war
in which Germany is engaged. Von Wal-
dersee is regarded as Von Moltke’ s ablest
pupil. His handling of the Ninth Army
corps at the Stettin maneuvers proved him
to be a capable strategist, while his corps
were shown to be .one of the best drilled in
the Prussin army.
It is now admitted at the foreign office
that the visit of Prince Hohenlohe, the
imperial chancellor, to St. Petersburg has
asemioflicial character. Prince Hohenlohe
went in the first place to seek a private
favor at the hands of the czar—namely,
that his wife might retain possession of
the vast estates in Russia which she in-
herited a. few years ago from her brother,
Prince Sayn- Wittgenstein, but he had a
= further mission, which was to confer with
Prince Lobanoff, the Russian minister of
foreign affairs, with regard to a Russo-
German entente in the event of further
troubles in the far east and to effects.
general understanding on the political
situation. It is understood that the offi-
cial mission of Prince Hohenlohe was
measurably successful. As to his personal
errand he was entirely successful, the czar
readily granting Princess Hohenlohe per-
mission to retain her Russian estate}.
which are said to be worth 50,000,000
marks. The late czar rigorously enforced
the law which forbids foreigners to own
land in Russia, and if he had lived Prin-
cess Hohenlohe would have been obliged
to sell the estates for whatever they would
fetch. It is not improbable that one of 1 1e
younger sons of Prince Hohenlohe will re-
move to Russia to reside there perma-
nently and so qualify himself for the Witt
genstein estates.
The Anti-Socialist Crusade.
Since the emperor’s denunciations of
Socialists, the seizure Of Socialistic papers
and the arrest of their editors have been
incidents of almost daily occurrence.
Among the papers subjected to this treat-
ment are the Ma'gdeburg Volkstimme,
the Breslau Volkswacht‘, the Hanover
Volkswille, the Eisen Arbciter Zeitung
and the Kiel Volkszeitung. while seiz-
ures of presses at Leipsic, Furth Nurem-
berg and Munich prove that the Saxon
and Bavarian governments are prepared
to join in the anti—Socialist campaign.
The Vossischc Zeitung of this city warns
the government against ill advised attacks
upon the liberty of the press.
The ministers are all taking their ho‘i-
days, and it is impossible that any decided
anti-Socialist measures will be adopted at
once. It is known. however, that Count
von Eulenburg, who is credited with hav-
ing great influence with Emperor Wil-
11am, has been strongly advising his sov-
ereign toward more rigorous repressive
enactments. A Hamburg newspaper de-
clares that the imperial Chancellor, Prince
Hohenlohe, will resign his office if the
emperor should insist upon the introduc~
tion of any such measure.
Seeing the lengths to which the local
authorities are going, now that the em-
peror has given the word, the press are
becoming much more guarded in their
comments. Many journals counsel the
government to seek to remove the causes
of discontent which feed the Socialist
flame rather than hastily endeavor to sup-
press agitation, persecution having only
servcd-to increase the zeal of the propa-
gandists.
The Conservatives are meeting the at-
tacks of Baron von Hammerstein im-
pugning their political integrity with
characteristic vigor. A committee repre-
senting The Kreuz Zeitung publishes a
statement, which is signed by Count vnn
Finckenstein, to the effect that Baron von
Hammerstein was suspended from the po-
sition of chief editor of that paper on July
4, and that since then facts have been
brought to light which have compelled
the committee to finally break ofl all re-
lations with the baron, and that the mat-
ter has ‘been placed in the hands of the
public prosecutor. In addition The Kreux
Zeitun'g states that it is informed upon
competent authority that Von Hammer‘
stein resigned his seats in the reichstng‘
and untcrhaus en the 11th inst. :1 '.
. \:..
ment was heard by Judge Merwin in the
"case of Mrs. Flora Hadcock Coleman of
New York, who sues for separation from
her husband, John Stuart Coleman, a1.
leging ill treatment.
Her husband has brought a counter suit
' and claims that his wife is an illegitimate
child of PhilipH. Armour of Chicago. A
sensation was caused in court when the
story was told by the lawyers.
The proceedings were-to compel Cole’-
man to pay a reasonable allowance per
week during the pendency of the action.
Coleman makes a sweeping denial of
the charges of ill treatment.
-_P. D. Armour's Statement.
CHICAGO, Sept. 16. ——In relation to the
Coleman case, Philip D. Armour said:
' “I never saw Mrs. Coleman in my life.
I never saw her mother. Some time ago,
I think about two weeks, I got a letter
from the woman’s husband saying he be-
lieved his wife was my daughter. I paid
no attention to the letter. I think the
man is crazy or, else was drunk when he

another letter, this time from Mrs Cole-
man’s lawyer, which I aDSWered, saying I
had never seen the woman and had never
seen her mother. The lawyer, who is a
decent, reputableman, wrote me saying
these facts were exactly as he understood
them. He said Mrs. Coleman had told
him she never had seen me, and she was
certain her mother never had seen me in
her life. The fact is these people, the Had-
cocks, which was Mrs. Coleman’s moth:
er’s name, lived in Stockbridge at one
time. This is the town in which I was
born. I remember such 11. family, but
never knew any of them. It was 40 or 50
years ago, and until this story came up I
had forgotten all about them. This is all
there is to the Coleman story.’
’HAWAII’S OHOLE‘RA’ PLAGUE.
It Excites the Natives, \Vho l'vIay Resort to
Riots and Incendiarism.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 16.—Private ad-
vices rcceived from Honolulu and pub-
lished here yesterday state that cholera
has secured a stronger hold on the He.-
waiian capital than the authorities there
are willing to admit.
The natives not only conceal new cases
from the authOrities, but decline to use
the-treatment prescribed and hide the fa-
talities resultant from the epidemic. The
natives will not trust themselves in the
hands of the board of health if they can
avoid it, believing that such treatment
means ccitain (loath, and they are much
excited over the spread of the disease,
which they ascribe to the unpopular head
of health.
It is predicted that unless the disease
abates or some change is made in its man-
agement the natives may revolt and resort
to their favorite remedies for diseases—
riots and incendiarism.
Admiral Beardslee, commanding the
Paciflc station, has received a report from
Captain Pigman of the United States
steamer Bennington, now at Honolulu, on
the subject of cholera on board his ship.
Captain Pigman says that Apprentice
Gocbel died of the disease on Aug. 30. and
that there were no~other cases on board
up to Sept. 4, the date of writing.
PENSIONS AS VESTED RIGHTS.
. —_l_‘
Commander In Chief ‘Valker to Test the
Matter In the Courts.
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 16.—Commander
in Chief Walker arrived here last night.
When asked as to his intention of taking
measures toward the institution of a test
case to establish the claim that a pension
is a vested right, said that he would do so
as early as possible.
“There is no question in my mind, ” he
said, “that the courts will hold that a pen-
sion is a vested right when the matter is
brought to their attention, and it is my
intention to proceed at once toward the
institution of a test case in order to secure
a ruling. The suit will be brought in the
federal courts as soon as possible. First,
however, I shall have to consult with the
council- of administration, and details of
the suit must be settled after they and I
have met. This will take some little time,
but the matter will be rushed as rapidly
as can be.
“I feel that it is due to old soldiers
and members of the Grand Army that
measures be taken to bring the matter to
an issue, and that every means possible
be utilized to secure recognition of the
right by the courts. You can say posi-
tively the test case will be tested and vig-
orously contested, even to the highest
court of judicature.”

IMIIST DIICII III HALIFAX
0111' New Battleship Indiana Forced to
G0 to an English Port.
PORT ROYAL BASIN UN SAFE.
And the Entrances to New York’s Dry-
docks Are Too Small For the Big Vei-
sel—Cramp Settles the Matter
With Secretary Herbert.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 1:6. —Charies H.
Cramp has had an inter‘gew with Secre-
the question of where th new battleship
Indiana should be docked was discussed.
Mr. Cramp said to your cerrespondent:
“I told the secretary that as no heavy
vessel has ever been docked at Port Royal,
S. C., the firm of Cramp ..
take the responsibility of' ocking the new
battleship Inuiana there. {I reminded him
yet been accepted by the United States
government. Navigation: in those waters
is, under the circumstances, not specially
to be desired.
“ Secretary Herbert recognized our right
to use our own judgment In this matter,
since the Indiana, not having becnfinally
,accepted by the government, is Still our
' property and any jeopardy of her safety
would be entirely at our risk. Had the
Indiana, on the other hand, been accepted
by the government it would ‘be the gov-
ernmcnt’s right and duty to take what-
ever steps seemed best, including risks.
\Vill Go to Halifax.
“So it is settled that the new govern-
ment dock at Port Royal will not receive '
the Indiana. This I regret personally 011
account of the disappointment it will
cause to the good people of South Caro-
line, whose very laudable pride and pe-
triotism we are all glad to see. Congress-
man Eliott particularly has taken an ac-
tive part in the effort to get the Indiana
down there. He is a very clever and en-
terprising man, and I am sorry on his ac-
count that We cannot go.
“ Since we must go elsewhere for a dock
the question naturally arose where. I said
to the secretary that we are negotiating
in Halifax for the dock in which the big
English cruiser, the Blake, with 9,000
tons displacement, has been successfully
docked five times. Those negotiations are
not Complete, but it is probable that we
will go to Halifax.”
When asked whether it was proper to
deck a United States war vessel in a for-
eign port, Mr. Cramp rep ied:
“It is not a question of propriety, but
of necessity.- Vessels belonging to one na-
tion are continually docked in the decks
of other nations, England has 260 coal-
ing statiOns and’ a" “great number of docks
all over the world, but she is already find-
ing herself in a similar predicament to
ours as to docks. The new English bats
tleships of the Magnificent class can be
docked today in only two English docks.
Our Lack of books.
“Our lack of docks,” Mr. Cramp con-
tinued, “is due to no want of sagacity and
earnest effort on the part of our scorc-
tarics of the navy, for all of them have
striven to. this end. Messrs. Chandler,
Tracy and Herbert, Mr. Herbert as both
secretary and chairman of the committee,
have recommended appropriations for new
docks and larger, docks, but in vain.
“A battlesihp with the flag flying over
her is, howev 01, an object that appeals to
evely eye and niind. The nation seems to
feel that it has got value received for all
expenditures. But you can’t whoop up a
dock—it is simply a hole in the ground.
Now we are beginning to realize this do-
fect in ournationul policy. ‘
“It is not that we have no docks large
enough; their entrances are too small.
Especially ought the entrances to the New
York drydocks be widened. In fact, in
New York there should be a dock big
enough to receive the big new transatlan-
tic steamers the Campania and Lucania
and the American liners. As matters now
stand, the St. Paul and St. Louis, Paris
and New Yelk will all have to go abroad
for their annual repairs and cleaning. If
a trifling accident happened to the Cam-
pania or Lucania they would have to be
partially repaired by divers and then have
to rccross the ocean to be docked.”
