THE OREGON AND HER COMMANDER. » / a a. ~~ Navy Officials Believe That Capt. Clark Will Take Care of His Ship. = ~~ WASHINGTON, May 16.—One of the guesses as to the purpose of the Spar- ish fleet is that it will try to intercept and destroy or capture the Oregon, now on the way north, somewhere on Atlantic Coast of South America. The cutting of the cab een St. Lucia-and St. Vincent? British West Indies, prevents,any communication between the United States and St. Vincent, Barbadoes, Grenada, Demerara and Trinidad. The Oregon, accompanied by the other two war vessels, is thought to be off the extreme eastern coast of Brazil, making rapidly for the West Indies, and has now been five days out of reach of communication. Charles Edgar Clark, captain of the Oregon, was born in Vermont and was appointed from his native State in 1860 to the Naval Academy, from which he graduated in 1863 as ensign. He first served on the steam sloop Ossipee, which was with the Western blockading squadron in the Gulf of Mexico during the last year of the war, and participated in the battle of Mobile Bay, August 5, 1864, and the bom- bardment of Fort Morgan two weeks later. Ensign Clark was commissioned as Master, Nov. 10, 1866, on the steamer Van- derbilt, which was at the Pacific station until 1867, in February of which year he gained his second promotion to a lieutenancy. His progress was rapid. A little over a year later he was contmissioned as Lieutenant Commander of the steamer Suwanee, which was wrecked in 1868. While holding this rank he successively served on the receiving ship Vandalia at Portsmouth, N. H., the Seminole and, later, the ironclad Dictator with the North Atlantic squadron, From 1870 to 1873 he was stationed at the Naval Academy, except for a practice cruise taken in 1871. Again in 1874 he was attached to the North Atlantic squadron as Lieutenant-Commander of the ironclad Mohapac. Then for three years he was stationed with the Asiatic squadron, filling the duties of his rank successively on the steamers Hartford and Monocacy and for a time on the ill-fated Kearsarge. In I8s7 he was ordered to duty in the Boston Navy Yard, where he remained until 1850, and in 1881 he was on the training ship New Hampshire. In November, 1881, he was commissioned Commander. With this rank he con- tinued handling the training ship New Hampshire until late in 1883, when he served on torpedo station for a short periodt. For the following three years he was in command of the steamer Ranger engaged in survey of the North Pacifié. Commander Clark\then became Lighthouse Inspector for four years and served at Mare Island Nm Yard from May, 1891, to September, 1893, when he was given command of the Mohican. His next assignment was as captain of the battleship Oregon, which was at- tached to Commodore Dewey's Asiatic squadron until just before the outbreak of the present war, when it was detached and ordered back for protection of the Atlantic seaboard, Upon arrival at Key West the Oregon may be attached to the command of either Acting Admiral Sampson or Commodore Schley. Capt. Clark saw enough real war service to prove him cool and brave. He has been in nearly all service tending to completely fit a naval officer for high com- mand, and he is noted as a disciplinarian of the highest character. * ae TERROR AND HARVARD IN SAME PORT. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatca. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. ST. PIERRE, Martinique, May 16.—The Spanish torpedo boat Terror, with disabled boilers, and the Alacante are still at Fort de France. The United States cruiser Harvard is yet at St. Pierre. she is to leave. Repairs are being made on 4ier. After a protest by United States Consul Darte regarding signals on the hills, the Governor sent a squad of gendarmes along the mountain road on an investigating tour. The men found no signals. On Saturday night one signal flashed for a few minutes off Carbet Point. It is reported that one Spanish man-of-war was seen in the Dominica Channel. Capt. Colton of the Harvard is being treated very courteously by the authorities. DEWEY CAN TAKE MANILA ANY TIME. WASHINGTON, May 16.—The Navy Department has received the following dis- patch from Admiral Dewey: Cavite, May 18, via Hong Kong, May 15.—I am maintaining a strict blockade.

THOMAS, May 16.—The Ye returned bers and is now awaiting peteed ws shiecoom Git a It ig not known when REPORTED HEADING FOR CUBA. | CERVERA WILL PLAY OCEAN GUERRILL/ The Peaceful Blockade Idea Aban- doned by the President. ALL SPANISH BATTERIES IN CUBAN PORTS MUST BE SILENCED. WASHINGTON, May 16.—Admiral § Sampede has reported to the Navy Department from Cape Haytien, and the department says he now will go to Cienfuegos. This announcement can- not be fully relied upon, from the fact that the Navy Department will not of course make public the movements of Sampson’s fleet. It is believed to be the plan of. Admiral Cervera to keep out of the way of the fleets and turn his entire attention to light war craft and merchantmen. This he can perhaps do by rea- son of his superior speed. Coast cities may be attacked in pursuance of this plan. It is announced to-day that President McKinley has abandoned his peaceful blockade idea. Orders have been cabled to the commanders of the various squadrons of the blockading fleet that will give them an opportunity to turn their ships loose on all fortifications along the Cuban coast. Every Cuban port protected by batteries will be attacked and the bombardment will be| kept up until Spanish guns are silenced and all gunboats are sunk. The Navy Department takes with great allowance the report that the Spanish strategists have succeeded in sending a second squadron, under Admiral Villamil, to the West Indies, and that it is off Martinique. Even if the alleged information did not bear the suspicious earmark of a Madrid date, the department would not be surprised to hear that Admiral Villamil, as well as Admiral Cervera, was with the Spanish force in the Carribean Sea. The fact that the report came from Madrid satisfies the officials here that this is another Spanish ruse to center our attention on Martinique while their ships have passed westward. The report has it that Admiral Villamil has with him the cruisers Cisneros, Cataluna and Princess de Asturlas. It is not known, however, that Villamil is not the admiral of these ships and that at least one of them, the Cisneros, is on the other side of the water. HUNTING SPAIN’S. VANISHING FLEET. Sampson Has Scouts at the Passages and Will Try to Overtake the Spaniards. WASHINGTON, May 16.—Across the Caribbean Sea, from east to west, is about 1500 miles on a direct line from Martinique to the Central American coast. The width of the sea from north to south varies from 500 to 1000 miles, It is on this body of water that Sampson hopes to find the Spanish fleet. If the Spaniards are heading for Havana they may skirt the Central American and Mexican coast and pass into the waters of the Gulf through the Yucatan Channel, thence around the west end of Cuba to Havana. It is not regarded as at all probable that Admiral Cervera will attempt to pass out into the Atlantic through the passages separating Cuba from Hayti or San Domingo from Porto Rico. While the Caribbean Sea is a good-sized ocean, naval strategists here think that he will be “found” in this sea and be forced to give battle. The Naval War Board was in communication with Rear Admiral Sampson all day Sunday. Scouts were going in and out of ports, receiving from and sending dispatches to Washington. The department is aware that the Spanish fleet left Curacoa last night and believe it sailed for Cuba. Admiral Sampson, by going through the Windward Passage, may head off the Spanish fleet. If the fleet should change its course and go back to Martinique or proceed north to Porto Rico, via the Mena Passage, Sampson’s scouts, which have been stationed at the north entrance of the passage and off the coast of Martinique, will sail for the fleet with the information and Admiral Sampson will follow them. The cruiser Yale is watching off St. Pierre and the St. Louis is at the entrance of Mona Pas- sage. Should the Spanish sail through the Caribbean for Cuba it is believed the battle will occur by Tuesday morning. In order to avoid meeting Sampson it is pointed out that the Spaniards may put back out of range, and in that event it may be a week before the opposing fleets engage in battle. Commodore Schley with his Flying Squadron is now sailing at full speed toward Havana to intercept the fleet should it succeed in avoiding Admiral Sampson. Commodore Schley is about 200 miles south of Charleston, and is expected to arrive off Havana some time taday. To guard against the capture or destruction of the small ships now doing blockade duty around Cuba, orders have been sent to Commodore Watson to withdraw the ships that are blockading distant ports and bring them nearer the range of safety, | SPANISH FLEET SAILS FROM CURACOA WILLIAMSTAD, Curacoa, May 16.—The Spanish cruisers V izcaya and Maria Teresa left this port at 6 o’clock last evening. Their destination is unknown. The four other Spanish war- ships which were off the harbor disappeared about noon, but later one of the torpedo boat de- stroyers was sighted again. *While here the warships took on a small quantity of coal and provisions. Their departure was due to our Government’s requesting them to leave as provided in the decree of neutrality. There were no colliers with the fleet. Nothing is known as to their boilers. A rumor says there are some commercial ships in this vicinity. ———— ee SAGASTA DIRECTED TO FORM A NEW CABINET. MADRID, May 16.—The Queen Regent has charged Senor Sagasta to form a new cabinet.

WASHINGTON, May 16.—Although President McKinley has received repeated pro- posals from Gen. Auguinaldo, the leader of the Philippine insurgents looking toward. ‘the establishment of a native governmetit ‘under a Uccited S+atés- protevivrate ne not given him any encouragement, The President has determined irrevocably that the Philippines shall remain ees. the direct control of this government until at least the close of the war with Spain, KS a.

' It can be stated on the highest authority that Admiral Dewey has received instruc tions that insurgents are under no circumstances to be given arms or ammunition j any kind. The President does not wish to complicate the future disposition of tim land by ‘paving to negetiate with an insurgent government, e iF ty AGUINALDO TREATING WITH M™’ KINLEY. Special Cable to the Post-Dispatch. Copyright by the Press Publishing Company, 1898. (Special Cable From the Post-Dispatch’s Own Correspondent in the British Possessiotyan of Hong Kong.) HONG KONG, China, May 16.—Gen. Emilio Aguinaldo, formerly one of the insurgent leaders in the Phillipines, is here, and active negotiations are in progress by cable be. tween him and President McKinley. I have reason to believe that Gen. Aguinaldo is seeking to arrange for the future government of the Philippines by a native admin- istration under a United States protectorate. There is a good deal of dissension among the rebel factions. Some of them are ne- gotiating with the American Admiral, while others are treating with the Spanish aue thorities, Whether Gen. Aguinaldo has influence enough to reconcile these differences and to induce the insurgents to pursue a common policy is an open question. Admiral Dewey has taken on board his vessels 120 tone of coal from the J. B, Throop, 1000 from the Honolulu and 300 from the Austria, all three British ships, Mr. Williams, the American Consul, landed at Cavite last week, after the evacuation by the Spanish garrison, and was received with great enthusiasm by the insurgents, who had hastened to occupy the town. He was followed through the streets by a crowd of two thousand people shouting “Viv& los Americanos!” There is no sign yet that the Spanish authorities in Manilla are prepared to capitue late. It is evident that city can only be reduced by bombardment or famine. The Spanish inhabitants, fearing bombardment, have been seeking safety in the suburbs, taking with them their furniture and personal property. They have been followed by many British and German families. In the business quarters the buildings are covered with the flags of various nation- alities—the British colors predominating—chiefly in order to distinguish other foreigners from the Spaniards, in the event of the ineurgents capturing the city. The Spaniards are convinced that the American fleet was piloted Into the bay by captains of British merchantman. The frank expressions of sympathy with the United Gtates appearing in the English newspaper published here and in other towns of the East, tend to accentuate the iil-feeling against the British residents. Fortunately, the number of foreign men-of-war off Manila is constantly increasing and the position of the Europeans on shore is becming daily less precarious. TROOPS <i “THE PHILIPPINES.

MANILA, Philippine Islands, May 12, by way of Hong Kong, China, May 15.— The Spanish gunboat Callao steamed up the bay this morning. She came from the Southern islands, where she had been stationed for the last 16 months. Her comman- der, Lieut.

Monday night the Concord discovered a large rowboat off shore and fired three six-pounders. The boat quickly ran ashore. It is supposed to have been a Spanish boat, lying’ on the wait for the rebel leader Gonzales, who commands the insurgents about Manila, He had gone to Cavite, and it is surmised that the boat was sent to lie in wait and capture him, should he attempt to return. Bix warships of neutral powers have come into the bay since the battle and five are here now. The visitors have been the Bruix, a first-class armored cruiser, be- longing to France; the Princess Wilhelm, a second-class protected cruiser, and the Cormoran, a third-class protected cruiser of the German navy; the Britieh first-class armored curiser Immortalite and the gunboat Linnet, and the Japanese second-class protected cruiser Naniwa, The British vessel Linnet has returned to Hong Kong.

“ MONDAY—ST. LOUIS POST-DISPA ew j TCH—MAY 16, 1898 BATTERY ATO ~ LEAVE TONIGHT a Men Will Depart From Union Station Over the B. & 0. SECOND REGIMENT WILL GO WEDNESDAY. CAPT. RUMBOLD’S MEN GIVEN HARD PRACTICE IN STRIKING AND PITCHING TENTS. _— RECRUITING STATION TO BE TRANSFERRED. Delay in Moying the Infantry Due to the Inability of the Railroads to Make Up the Requi- site Trains. Light Battery A, Ist Missouri Volunteers, will leave Jefferson Barracks at 8 o’clock Monday evening for St. Louis over the lron Mountain road. At Union Station the artillerymen will meet a special B. & O. train, which will convey them to Chickamauga. The 2d Regiment of infantry, Col. Caffee commanding, will get away Wednesday night, ; The 1st Regiment, Col. Batdorf, will leave as soon thereafter as transportation can be furnished, probably on Thursday. There was not an idle man in the bat- tery Monday. From the time reveille blew at 5:45 o'clock, there was plenty of work for each man from Capt. Rumbold down to “McTague’’ Fatum, the cook. The first order in the morning was for every man to roll up his blanket and strap it upon his knapsack. Everything belong- ing to such man was ordered packed and ready for marching. Immediately after breakfast came an or- der to break camp. The men took their postitons at once and in 10 minutes the tents were down. No sooner had the tents been struck than the men were ordered to put them up agdin, This was gone through ‘with six times during the day and when Battery A reaches Georgia the boys will @urprise the regulans with their ability to pitch a camp in a few minutes. Commissary Sergeant Lightholder was busy all day getting the things in his de- apes ready for shipping. Extra blan- ets were turned in to him and carefull packed to be returned to the State. Eac man will carry one blanket to the front. There will not be a battery, regiment or gusted with the volunteer’ service ‘and wanted to get into the regular army. “The officers in the volunteer service,”’ said he, contemptuously, ‘‘are a lot of dry oods clerks and young lawyers, who on't Know anything about military dfscli- pline and regulations. I know regular of- ficers, for I have served under them, and I prefer them ‘every time. The volunteer service doesn’t suit me at all.’’ Green is>a@ strapping big fellow, and the fact that he comes from Kansas ma account for his contempt for Missouri of- ficers. The fact that he was given a re- lease from'‘the volunteer service indicates | that the officers of the 3d were as willing to let him go as he was to leave them. He 1s a college graduate and once attended echoo] at the Marmaduke Military Acade- my. apt. O. J. Sweet is recruiting men rap- idiy, taking in about 30 a day. Most of them are for duty with troops of the 8th Cavalry at Forts Sill and Robinson. GEN. MOORE STILL IN COMMAND. At the Head of All Volunteers Who Have Not Been Mustered In. Brig.-Gen. Milton Moore is still acting Commander-in-Chief of that part of the Missouri volunteers that has’ not been mustered into the United States service. Maj. William M. Abernathy is tempo- rarily in command of the 6th Regiment. Capt. W. T. Stark, the senjor line officer, who has been regimental commander, was called to Kansas City Sunday by the criti- cal illness of his wife, Maj. Abernathy re- lieving him. ‘ There has been no definite appointment of the, 5th’s fleld officers, and it is an- nounced that there will be none before Tuesday afternoon. At present the Sth is a lively political campaign ground. The positiong of senior and junior majors are vacant and the® is a scramble for them. The working candi- dates are Col. R..I. Pearson, the Assistant Adjutant-General; Capt. W. T. Stark an@ Henry 8S. Julian. The latter is ex-Chief of Police of Kansas City, and gained con- siderable notoriety recently at the hands of a Lexow committee, It is understood that Gen. Moore made his recommendations of officers to Adju- tant-General Bell, but they are to be kept from the public until approved at Jefferson City. When the brigade is finally mus- tered in Gen. Moore will take command of the 5th as Colonel. There is some talk of making the Gen- eral a Brigadier in the volunteer service, but there is no official basis for predict- ing a change of the present plan, as Presi- dent McKinley has a full staff of Briga- dier-Generals who are ag yet without com- mands. The surgeons began on the 5th Monday morning, passing A, B and C companies before noon. Gen. Moore believes the regi- ment will be ready for mustering in by noon Tuesday. a COL, CAFFEE IS DISAPPOINTED. Informed by Col. Smith Why the In- fantry Can’t Leave Right Away. Col. Coffee of the 24d Regiment called at the office of Col. G. C. Smith, Deputy Quartermaster, in the Federal Building, at Third and Olive streets, Monday morning, to learn when the Missourt troops can get away from the Barracks. He was disap- pointed by the information that none of the infantry would leave before Wednes@ay. This delay is not the fault of the depart- ment, but is necesary in order to give the railroads time to bid on transportation and the successful bidders time to get enough cars to carry the troops and baggage. The Battery’s arrangements have been made, however. It leaves Monday night over the B. & O. for Chickamauga. It will be carried by a train composed of one Pullman, three day coaches and two bag- gage cars. The Battery will be brought from Jefferson Barracks to St. Louis by the eS 4 54 ‘ Rs 4 os 4; +” fp y, a , 4 4 tif” (iA “ in 4 4 * (tr, WA. 4 .

The Captain is by far the mgst popular volunteer army officer who will go from Missouri, and his: men will stick by him in every thing. At his own expense he has a for each man @& light helmet to be worn in the hot south- ern climate in place of the heavy cam- paign hat, and he has also bought a stomach protector for each man. There has, as yet, been no sickness in the Battery, and Capt. Rumbold will do every- thing in his power to see that there is none. Should, however, anything happen to one of the men the Captain has arranged to have transportation to the Georgia camp fur- nished one member of the sick man’s fam- ily. Resides the regular pay of the sobijers, Capt. Rumbold will have $200 each month at his disposal and his men will live as they have been accustomed to at home. Insurance policies and all business of each soldier will be looked after by the Battery Association, Camp Rumbold was crowded Sunday with visitors. many of whom were “producers.” In the morning Capt. Rumbold read the “‘ar- ticles of war’’ to the men, after which those who wished to do so were allowed to go to town for the last time. Many of the parents and friends of the boys came down Monday afternoon, and will remain until the men take the train for St. Louis, An excursion of St. Loulsans is scheduled to leave for Chickamauga next week.

The Lieuten- ant will not go to Jefferson City untli Tues- day morning, but hia office force will go ahead of him. They do not anticipate a long stay at Jefferson City. Their stay in 8t.

These will be out in force to bid them good-by and Godspeed. The arrangements for the transportation of the infantry will be pushed to comple- tion as soon as possible, and by Tuesday all the details will have been worked out. “Over the hill,’’ as the location of the Ist and 2d regiments is designated by the ar- tilerymen, there was just as much work going on as at the battery, only of a differ- ent nature. Like the gunners, the *‘dough boys’ are proficient in. the art of making and breaking camp and they don’t need to be drilled in tearing down and building up their city of canvas. That the infantrymen cannot leave for Chickamauga until Wednesday at the ear- liest is accepted by the officers as an ex- tension of the time in which to drill their men before marching them into a camp commanded by United States Army officers of high rank and peopled by trained regu- ars. Drills began with all of the companies in the two regiments immediately after mess. The average was two hours in the morning and two hours and a half in the afternoon. Tuesday will be the last day of drill for the 24, as that regiment will have to de- vote Wednesday to preparation for de- parture. Cols. Caffee and Batdorf will take their men to Chickamauga in the uniforms of the State unless the regular clothing ar- rives at Jefferson Barracks ahead of the cars in which the soldiers are to be trans- ported. The orders from Adjutant-General Corbin instruct Cols. Caffee and Batdorf to pro- ceed immediately with their respective reg- iments to Chickamauga and to report the amount of tentage and ammungion taken. The 4th, Col. Corby, was mustered in Monda os Lieut. Hardeman. Col. Corbin immediately reported to the War Depart- ment as per instructions received by him Sunday. Col. Gross had received no orders for the 38d Monday morning. despite the state- ment of press dispatches that three new regiments had been assigned to Chicka- mauga. The 6th is being examined Monday by the surgeons and will be ready to take the mustering oath by Tuesday afternoon or Wednesday. : Col. Gross’ command is ready to go at any time, but the Colonel is not chafing under the delay. & “I think it far better to equin the men right here and start them to Zoe central camps dressed and armed for the field,”’ he said to the Post-Dispatch this morning. “We don't care whether they send us to Cuba, the Philippines, Washington or Chickamauga, but we would like to be uniformed wherever we go.” nation CAPTURE OF PICKPOCKETS. Officers and Privates in the Chase and Quickly Took Three Prisoners. Capt. Knight, the Post Commander, has in the barracks prison the three alleged pickpockets arrested by infantrymen Sun- day evening. He has notified the Federal authorities and will deliver the prisoners to Marsha! Bohle upon application. Tws of the men gave their names as John Smith and the third said he was Edward Kieley.

Soldierly Address Made by the Chap- lain of the 4th Regiment. Fr. Thomas Bwing Sherman, Chaplain of the 4th Regiment, began his services Sun- day morning with a ten-minute talk that was brimful of soldierly patriotism. After prefacing his remarks by declar- ing that he would not preach a sermon, he said: ‘‘We are now soldiers and must face the rsituation like soldiers. In a few hours we shall be in the service of the grandest, freest government the sun ever shown on, and it is our duty to win it new and great- er fame. We are going to battle for free- dom, to give to a down-trodden and op- pressed people that liberty that is so much of our life, that they might live nobler and higher lives. Whatever may have been our individual opinions on the precipitation of this conflict the passed. Let every man remember that the wise men at Washington know so much more about the existing conditions than we do, and be ever ready to go as they direct. ‘The President of the United States has called upon the citizenship of the country to combat with a foreign foe. We, as pa- triotic, country-loving Americans are re- sponding to that call. Carping must cease. Order and obedience can only be counten- anced now. “Above all things I would exhort you to obedience, That is the first command of the almighty God to whom we look to guide us in coming battles. Obedience to your officers, no grumbling or shirking will place new wreaths upon the brow of the Americar soldier, ‘The way will be long and hard. Picnics are over. Duty will lead us on long, hot marches, compel us to wade swamps, stifle hunger, scale parapets heavy with hostiie suns, grapple with death and perhaps take many of us to the grave. But we remember our glorious country and what an exalted name it bears among nations by reason of its sons’ valor and trusting in God and be- lieving in our cause we do not shrink, but mrarch steadily onward till.the victory is won.”’ FIRST WILL GO WITH MUSIC.

Engler is only 18 years old and is a private in Company K, 3d Regiment. He was a clerk in a wholesale house and ve up his place to go to war.

At the Dispensary Dr, Helwig concluded the direct cause of young Dillon’s mental violence was whisky and had him sent to the City Hospital. Dillon told the doctor he was a student of law at Washington University, the champion of three field day feats, and was the best man physically in the University. Therefore he knew he would make a good soldier. He also insisted that there could not possibly be anything the matter with his mind, for he was one of the leaders of his class. He did not object to being taken to the City Hospital under the assurance that he coula become a soldier as soon a me was well enough to fight Span- a”™.is, ‘ AN UP-TO-DATE “CON” GAME.

They arrived at Union Station Monday morning from their home at St. James, Mo. ‘‘My. husband is a railroad man,”’ said Mrs. Wiley, ‘‘and he left us several years ago to work on the Northern Pacific Rail- road. He has sent me remittances regular- ly, but has somehow never got time to come back on a visit. He always said in his letters that the climate wouldn’t agree with the children, but after thinking over the matter for some time I decided that we could live all right in Dakota. I man- aged to scrape together a few dollars and Saturday we packed our trunk and left.” WAL. MACMURRAY 1S DEAD. He Was Born Near Carondelet and Had an Honorable War Record. Maj. Junius Wilson MacMurray of the 5th Artillery, U. S. A., dled in New York Sunday. He was born near Carondelet, Mo., in May, 18423. He went into the Union army at the outbreak of the war as Second Lieutenant of the 1st Missouri Infantry. He was transferred to the 1st Missouri Light Ar- tillery, and soon became Captain of the °4 Missouri Light Artillery. His war record was a very honorable one. He remained in the regular army at the close of the war, and saw service in séeve- ral Indian campaigns. — DEFAULT DIVORCE DAY. ee ee we —_ Mrs. Upton M.

CAMPBELL, YOUNG AND DES- MOND ARE ALL POSSI- BILITIES, NOT SO MUCH TALK OF ‘NIGHT CHIEF KIELY. Generally Believed at the Four Courts That Campbell Will Be the Successful Can- didate. The day for the setection of a Chief of Police to succeed Maj. Laurence Harrigan hag been postponed. It was announced posi- tively last week that the selection would be made Tuesday. Now the appointment will not be made until Wednesday afternoon. In view of the fact that the Democratic primaries are to be held Tuesday, the post- ponement is significant. It was said that the Brady crowd who favored McCaffery for the Chiefship threatened to knife Judge Marshall in the event certain Police Com- missioners withheld their votes from Mc- Caffery. It is said McCaffery’s friends in- sisted on the Police Board acting Tuesday, but the Board deemed it wiser to await the result of the race between Marshall and alliant. Around the Four Courts it {is not thougnt that Night Chief Kiely is to cut an im- portant figure in the race. In fact, one official said he could not see where Kiely had any hope. Dr. Forster is avowedly for Campbell. Gen, Lewis is claimed by both the Kiely and Campbell crowd, but it is known that he has done a little quiet work for Campbell. Steuver is avowedly a Mc- Caffrey man. Kingsland has not com- mitted himself and Mayor Ziegenhein has enough trouble on his hands without mix- ing up in the fight. While Campbell is conceded two votes they will not give him the place. A dark horse may get in and capture the plum, Capt. Young, who has not been heard from for some time, was talked of around the Four Courts Monday. But the most for- midable of the dark horse candidates is Chief of Detectives Desmond. He has not been spoken of for the chiefship until the last few days, but there are not a few who figure that his chances are more than fair. He is Chief Harrigan’s favorite and he has qualifications for the place. One officia] said that in case of a deadlock over the three leading candidates Desmond might win. WR. SLOAN'S QUEER “AD.” He Wants Horses Not to Eat, but to Poison With Hog Cholera Virus. Foreman Sloan of 1309 North Broadway has advertised for 20 horses, which may be crippled, windy or unable to work, but must be fat and healthy. This advertise- ment is calculated to excite curiosity. Nine persons out of ten would probably jump to the conclusion that Mr. Sloan in- tended to slaughter animals of the descrip- tion given for food. But Mr. Sloan has no such dark purpose. He is merely filling a contract for horses to be used for anti-toxin experiments by the health authorities of the State of Maryland. The proposed experiments will be made in an effort to find a cure for hog cholera. The horses will be immunized by Injectin into them the virus of hog cholera an their blood will then furnish the serum which it is hoped will prove a@ sure cure for the disease in hogs.

Thie game of hide and seek which the two Admirals are Playing in the Caribbean Sea does mot promise a speedy end to the war. : While Sampson is chasing the spry Spaniards the weather gets hotter, and the suffering of the Cubans, for whom this war was undertaken, grows deener. The invasion of Cuba is still the topic of discussion by the Debating Society at Wash- ington, the expenses are mounting up and the war loan is likely to be fuily up to the proposed limit of $500,000,000. If Sampson cannct catch the Spaniards, it would seem to plain men with nothing but common sense to guide them that the fighting should be forced in Cuba. “Vhen may we look for a decision from the debating society? — oe the police p teresting to @ecision ca’ Circulation of last Suncay’s Post-Dispatch, 125,323 Ccpies. ere New York Knights of Labor ask why wages do not rise, as war prices are now ruling in household commodities.

The motion to set aside the verdict in the case of Gétorge Pickel vs. the Bell Telephone Co. was intemperate in form, but it contained “great gobs” of reason and common sense. The special jury system deserves all that is said against it. It is a practical denial of the right of trial by jury guar- anteed by the constitution, for the juries obtained under it are, in plain terms, packed. If they were not packed they would not be wanted, and would not serve the purpose for which they are constituted. The advantage given the litigant who can pay for it is one for which the-poor man has no equivalent. He must submit-his case to a jury composed of men whose social ties, business connections and habit of mind predispose them to credit the evidence in favor of a corporation rather than “that which makes for a poor claimant with nothing but the justice of his cause to plead for him. A discussion and determination of the auestions raised in this case by the Supreme Court would be of interest. The constitutionality of the special jury is not clear to the under- standing of the layman. i i The overthrow of Uncle Filley ought to put an end to boss- ismin Missouri, but it will not do so.

Thousands who have @eon, these overcrowded points of observa- tion have wondered that the authorities did not interfere long ago, for the fact that the roofs and porches were never intended to carry such loads caused observers great uneasiness. Many complaints were made to President Hart, but he could not inter- fere on private property, and, besides, while it Was apparent that outsiders were simply stealing their amusement, he was too much of a true sportsman to compjain to the authorities. Now, however, the Chicago Building Commissioner has taken a hand and will see that the housetops are kept cleared in the future.

IT TAKES PLACE ON FRIDAY. The Akron Giant in This Mill Will Have Twenty Pounds the Ad- vantage Over the Kid. There is no doubt in the world but that Corbett and Fitzsimmons are awaiting anxiously the outcome of the fight between Gus Ruhlin and Kid McCoy. Those two worthies come together at Syracuse, N. Y., next Friday night. So far McCoy has been an enigma to the whole pugilistic fraternity. His easy victories over ‘lommy Ryan and his defeat of Dan Creedon set the big fellows to wondering just what kind of man McCoy is, Some who have seen him fight pronounce him a wonder, while others prophesy his defeat the first time he steps into the ring with some good heavyweight. That Ruhlin is a good big man is now admitted on al) sides, and if McCoy geis the decision over him he will not. only be considered a wonder but will be looked on as fairiy and squarely entitled to a match with Fitz or Corbett. In next Friday night’s battle there will be neariy 20 pounds difference in_ the weights, Ruhlin being the heavier, and with that big handicap McCoy will have to do great work to win. The two have trained hard for this event. Both realize that to lose is not only to forfeit the stakes, but reputation as well. The New York World says: ‘Jim Jef- fries, the young California heavyweignt who secured a decision over Tom Sharkey in San Francisco last week, will leave the coast for thi€ city in a week or ten days, $o that he can get in shape for his 20-round bout with Peter Maher, which will be de- cided at the Lenox Athletic Club, formerly the Broadway Athletic Club, at One Hun- dred and Seventh street and Lexington ave- nue, either the latter part of next month o early in July. Jeffries, on the strength of his victory over Sharkey,: has won for hin a host of friends in this city, and as they seem to think him a wonder they will ne doubt bet a large sum of money on him to beat Peter when they meet. Jeffries will be accompanied to this city by his manager and trainer, Billy Delaney, who has been responsible for his success so far in the ring.’’ Since the above was written Maher has been defeated and that defeat will probably cause a change in Jeffries’ plans. He is not likely to come all the way East to meet a |man who has been defeated in one round by d Joe Geddard. OLYMPIC ATHLETIC CLUB. Its Boxing Bouts Across the River Drew Out-a big Crowd. The Olympic Athletic Club of St. Louis pulled off their boxing tournament at Den- verside Park, East St. Louis, yesterday. Several hundred people witnessed the bouts and were very much pleased with the sport. The first bout was a four-round go between Ed Curtis of St. Louis and ‘‘Hot Springs Rabbit,’’ of Hot Springs, Ark. This Was the best of the afternoon. Both men fought hard from start to finish. It was declared a draw. The second bout was between W. Whalen and W. Lavin. These men put up a good exhibition. This was called a draw. — Ed Smith and W. Wheeler boxed one round, but the referee refused to allow the bout to go on, because Wheeler was not in condition. Hamp fought Brownlow Sexton a four round draw. Ireland was a much heavier man, but Sexton was more scientific. Bob Douglas acted as referee in all the bouts. The Little Ball Players. The Why Nots have organized with Quan p.

They are both put down as cer- tain starters in the Oakley Derby, to be 1un at Cincinnati next Saturday afternoon. Plaudit will then carry 127 to Lieber Karl’s 125. Liebe? Karl is being prepared especial- ly for this race, and if he fails once more to take Plaudit’s measure, it will likely be the last time he will ever start against that horse. In fact, from then on the Schorr horse will likely have other business to attend to. The Oakley Derby will be worth over $6000 to the winner if there are five starters, and in all probability that many horses, if not more, will go to the,post. It will be the richest 3-year-old event of the year so far, and will be the first race at the true Derby -distance—1% miles—and if there is anything in the race to set a pace, it is ossible that Plaudit or the colt that beats 1im will make a new record for the dia- tance, This Oakley track has been in bad shape, but has dried out in the last few days, and work will begin on it at once. Mr. Charles.C. Maffitt, Dr. A. C, Ber- nays and the Foster brothers of St. Louis have made nominations for the American Derby to .be run at Washington Park, Chicago, on June 25.

William Hendricks, the occupant of the house, who was arrested Saturday night and lodged in the hold-over, was released Sunday. The police say there is every rea- son to believe the fire was of incendiary origin, yet there is no positive evidence against Hendricks. Assistant Fire Chief Busch, who was bad- ly burned while throwing gasoline out of the burning building, is resting as easily as could be expected. but it will be several weeks before he is entirely well. MR. DONOVAN IMPROVED. Manager of the Lindell Hotel Yet ina Serious Condition. John F. Donovan, manager of the Lin- dell Hotel, who has been seriously ill, was somewhat improved Monday morning. Mr. Donovan was taken sick Saturday at his home, 4414 West Pine boulevard, with in- flammation of the stomach, Though there is improvement in his condition, it is still considered critical. 'HE DIED AT HIS. POST, _ — FUNERAL SERVICES OVER THE REMAINS OF ENGINEER JAMES WISHART. THE STORY OF HIS HEROISM. Fireman Fred Bowen Tells How the Brave Man Stuck tu His Ergine and Was Killed. \ ae The funera] services over the body of James Wishart, the engineer of Missouri Pacific mail train No. 4 who was killed in the collision near Jefferson City last Friday, were held in the chapel con- nected with Eberle & Keyes’ undertaking establishment Monday afternoon. They were conducted by Lodge 48 of the Broth- erhood of Locomotive Engineers, the Grand Chaplain officiating. Immediately after the services were con- cluded the casket containing the remains was taken to the train by Frederick A, Wishart of Springfield, Mo., who will ac- sommany them to Welland, Canada, the deceased's birthplace and where his mother still resides. Besides the brother mentioned there is another, who resides in this city. Dempster Wishart, secretary of the Western Lines Mileage Bureau. Fred Bowen, who was fireman on No. 4 with Wishart, tells the etory of the acci- dent as wollows: “We left Jefferson City on time, but our time schedule is a high one and we were going along at a pretty good rate when we struck Moreau Tunnel. We _ § slowed down going through, but let her out again as we came out into the open. “Just outside of the tunnel is a curve, which sweeps away to the left, I wae sitting on my box on the left side and that turther ahead than my partner. Jugt as we reached the cut, which is near the middle of the half circle, I caught sight of a locomotive. **My God, Jim, cried. “For a minute—the train was going nearly 0 miles an hour—I Intended to stick to’my place, for I thought it was sure death any way. But I had scarcely given the warning when I heard the hiss of brakes and knew Jim had the airon. We slackened so rapia- ly it struck me that we were bumping over the ties, though I found out afterward we were not. P “As soon as I saw we were slowing I jumped and the next instant the crash came. As I let go the tender bar and was hurled onto the ground I saw Jim still standing at the throttle, looking straight ahead. “As soon as I got on my feet I started to go around the train to get to him, but with all the crowd and excitement it took me fully 10 minutes to doit. I found Jim lying in the ditch beside the track, where the scalding water from the boiler wag pouring over him. I hauled him out and then got the conductor to hunt up a doctor, who did what he could for him. “As near as I can figure, when the engines came together Jim’s feet were caught be- tween the boiler and the box, and he managed to pull himself out only to suffer a more painful death in the ditch of boiling water,’’ AMERICAN JEW AS A PATRIOT. Rabbi Harrison Shows That His Race Has Done Its Whole Duty. there’s an engine,’ I “The American Jew as Patriot and Sol- dier’’ was the topic of a discourse by Rabbi Harrison, which filled Temple Israel to the doors Sunday morning. The music and services were generally pa- his review of the Jew’s share in the glory of his adopted country. ning of American history Jews were with the fleet of Columbus, and one of the first white men to set foot upon American soil was a Jewish navigator. At the time of the revolution when there were less than 3000 Jews in America, 27 of that small band served as officers under Washington. Hayne M. Solomon, a con- temporary of Madison and Randolph, not only rendered personal patriotic services, but donated $350,000 for the success of the revolutionary army. Emanuel Noah, one of Washington’s staff officers, $20,000 to the cause of freedom. In the Mexican war the army showed that Jews served in every capacity and rank from private to brigadier-general. In the civil war there were between 8000 and 10,000 Jews in each of the contending ar- mies, and, aS among other Americans, brother in the struggle. There were 16 staff officers of Jewish birth in the Union had furnished 2000, Ohio 1000 and Illinois 7000 soldiers of the Jewish race in the civil war and other States lesser numbers. At the conclusion a collection was taken up for the “‘Maine’’ monument fund and the congregation responded liberally. GEORGE WHITE MAY DIE. Picked Up Unconscious and Cannot Explain How He Was Hurt. George White is in the City Hospital un- conscious from a fracture of the skull that will probably prove fatal, The police are trying to find out how he received his injuries. White was found in the. railroad yards at Sixteenth street at 9:30 o’clock Sunday night. He was unconscious, and blood from a wound in his forehead covered his face. A policeman was called and tue injured man was taken to the hospital. ite was unable to give an account of himself. He told the policeman his name and said he worked at Twenty-second and Olive streets. White is a negro. He may have been struck with a bent instrument or he may have fallen, “ALDERMAN” IS NO MORE. A “Gentle” Horse With a Local His- tory Makes His Last Runaway. ‘‘Alderman,”’ a horse which made a name for himself locally during a two years’ res!- dence in St. Louis, was killed Sunday even- ing. “Alderman” was originally owned by ex-Alderman Jim Cronin. He sold him first to Bulfy Busch and got him back; Charley Mehl, Edward Graham, J. Tobin and others owned him at various times, and the Dis- pensary doctors and ambulance drivers gen- erally had a job when “Alderman” was given an exercising. Graham sued Cronin for damages after driving his purchase once, He claimed that the animal was represented to him as gentile. He lost the suit. William Dado acquired the horse last Saturday.

WITH A FORTUNE Aged Guisseppi Banco Leaves With His Wealth From Cripple Creek. “I made my pile and am going home to pass my remaining years in luxury,” were the words of Guisseppi Bnaaco, en aged Itallan, as he boarded a train at Union Sta- tion Monday morning, bound for New York City. At New York he will take passage on &@ steamer to Italy. Guisseppi had just returned from Cripple Creek, Colo., in company with his wife and three children.

DR. MAX STARKLOFF MAY SUCCEED BARTHOLDT. TACTICS OF THE NEW ALLIANCE TO BE CARRIED TO THEIR CONCLUSION. HERR DR. BARTHOLDT HAS BEEN WARNED. Ez-Mayor Walbridge to Take the Place of Joy and Add the Bit- terest Pili of All to the Old Man’s Crushing Defeat. Now that the Kerensites have eliminated Chauncey I. Filley from politics in, the Twelfth Congress:onal District, they propose to emasculate his strength in the Tenth, and it is doubtful whether Filley will be able to recognize Bartholdt as a once devoted follower by the time he gets through with the acrobatic feats necessary to land him- se f gafely in the band wagon of the Kerens-Ziegenhein combination. lt is understood that an ultimatum has been sent to Bartholdt, and if he doesn’t knuckle pretty soon a candidate will be brought out and the same tactics that prevailed in the Twelfth District fight will be used against him. The success of such a fight by the new combine cannot be doubted, fog what Strength Ziegenhein lacks in South St. Louis is at tne beck and call of Dr. Max ree tggens} who is to: the Union League said that if Dr. Starkloff will take nomination it will be handed to him as, freely as the combine presented its bou- quet to Maj. Pearce, but the doctor is not ambitious for Congressional life, so his friends say. “‘Bartholdt is all the Old Mar has left, and he won't have him as a live statesman unless Bartholdt can make terms with the new combine.’’ said an administration man Monday. ‘“‘Mr.:’Bartholdt can continue -to love the Old Man as much as ever, but he must pay homag@gfirst to Ziegenhein and Kerens, too.’’ But the immediate interest of the new alli- ance is centered on the Ejeventh District, and as in the Twelfth it is to be a genuine Kerens victory, and in many respects it will be a bitterer pill to Filey than was Pearce, and one which it would seem hard even for | the Ziegenhein followers to swallow. The Congressional candidate is to be no less a personage than ex-Mayor Cyrus P. Watbridge. His friends say there is no doubt about his accepting the nomination if it is tendered him. Whether Charles F. Joy is or wants to be a candidate again no one seems to know | or care. It will not matter much which | way Mr. Joy decides the question for him- self. The Filleyites never claimed him, and it is said he made himself obnoxious to the Kerensites for denouncing McKinley's snail-like, milk-and-water war policy. As; the lawyers say, Mr. Joy may be functus | officio when his present term expires Filley’s candidate in the Eleventh will be State Senator Busche, but he won't stand any more show than did Little Lord Faun- tleroy Lioyd in the Twelfth.

The corner stone of Holy Trinity Church at Fourteenth and Mallinckrodt streets was laid Sunday afternoon with tmpressive cere- monies, in the presence of an immense con- gregation which effectually blocked = all street traffic.
