The commandant of the Massachusetts naval reserve has informed the Navy Department that the reserve of that state will, as pro-! posed by the Navy Department, take their sum- mer practice cruise on one of the United States cruisers. They will by the eighteenth of July and expect to muster about four hundred = men. They will probably make their cruise in the San Francisco. The New York naval reserve, it is understood. will mke their ernise in the New Hampshire. "This plan, however, is subject to change, and they may decide to ac- cept the proposition of the department and use one of the modern cruisers. The Navy Department advocates the use of the cruisers, as it is thought a cruise on them away from’ home and land will prove more beneficial than the old method of cruising near shore. — a THE GETTYSBURG CIRCULAR. It Keminds an Army Officer of an Incident During the Wa: The circular of the Gettysburg monument commission of New York in regard to the re- | union at Gettysburg next week was a subject of general comment at the War Department today. The circular advises all veterans to boycott the trolley line now desecrating the battle ground and appeals most earnestly to all New York veterans “to abstain from any acts of violence against property of any description during their visit to Gettysburg.” A high official, who served dnring the war, said toa Star reporter today that this appeal for the protection of the trolley line reminded him very much of an in- cident that came under his own observation during the war. “The soldiers thought that | they were being cheated by a sutler and ap- pealed to their commanding officer for redress, He counseled moderation and advised them, among other things, ‘not to upset_the dealer's wagon,’ and then walked away. The hint was! not lost on the men aad the officer had hardly got out of sight before they had overturned the wagon and strewed its contents in the rond.” Treasury Chang Secretary Carlisle has appointed Henry C.

CONGRESS MAY BE CALLED. The news of the stoppage of free coinage of silver in India has caused considerable excite- ment among the free coinage men here and provoke! a very general discussion of the financial situation among the men who, in the next Congress,will be called upon to fix a stable currency for this country. This action on the part of the'government of India has intensified the situation, and there is a very general feel- ing now that something must be done here, and done very quickly. By the stoppage of free coinage in In- dia a large supply of the world’s money is cut off and Uncle Sam is left standing almost alone with the burden of silver on his shoulders, It 1s believed that this situation makes it greatly more probable than before that the Sherman law public men here believe that it will hasten the meeting of Congress to a date considerably carlier than that named by Mr. Cleveland as when he intended to convene Congress to- gether. REPRESENTATIVE ALDERSON'’S VIEWS. Representative Alderson of West Virginia said toa representative of Tue Stan today that the action of the Indian government greatly embarrassed the situation here. He anid that he was a free silver man, but that he believed that the condigions at this time would | have to be considered in any legislation on the that we could not legislate on the con- of ten or twelve years ago, and that Congress would have to act in accordance with things as they find them, and not upon theories. He said that he thought that a great many of silver men were disposed to agree to some com- promise, but the matter of detail could not yet | be determined on. Something, he was certain, would have to bedone. Representative Meredith of Virginia said that he thought matters were complicated for the silver men and that some action would have to be taken. He thonght that the Sherman law would be repealed, but he didn’t care to guess as to the character of the substitute for it. DIFFICULTIES IN THE WAY OF FREE COINAGE. “This action on the part of the government of India,” said Mr. Bontner of Louisiana, “throws ® good many more difliculties in the way of free coinage. I have no doubt that had not this been brought about Mr. Cleveland had a free coinage bill presented to htm for | I cannot teil, and no one can as yet, I think, how much the de- monetization of silver in India will affect this | situation. I have no question in my inind about the propriety of repealing the Sherman law, but we have got to have some means of supply- ing money for trade and commerce. The vol- ume of gold is not sufficient, and the deficiency has got to be supplied by another currency. I am not wedded to any particular scheme, but what the people of this country want is sufti- cient money for business, and it has got to be supplied, “A large number of silver men who voted for the repeal of the Sherman Jaw last Congress did so on_ their faith that at the beginning of this Congress the 10 per cent tax on state banks would be repenled. For my part, I saw no rea- son why the two things should not have been coupled, and I was not willing to trust to the fature for action on the bank tax and I voted against the repeal of the Sherman law. It is not silver per se that the people want, but it a@suficiency of sound money. I think that ‘ongress should have been called together in April. and now we should get together as soon as possible.” REPRESENTATIVE OATES HOPEFUL. Representative Oates of Alabama says that he is hopeful of a speedy settlement of the financial question when Congress meets. He anticipates, of course, that there will be con- derabie trouble and that members will be inchned to hold firmly to the theories they have been presenting all along, but that the common sense of the situation to do something to meet the conditions | which canfeonquer regardless of all theories. He says that he does not know, of course, what Congress will do, but that the most logical and common sense thing will be to repeal the Sher- man law and the law levying a 10 per cent tax on state banks currency and to provide for the free coinage of silver at such a ratio as to placo it at a parity with gold. ‘It is claimed by the silver men,” he said, “that the reason silver is not now at a parity with gold is that it is discredited by our laws. Now we can grant just half this argument and see what will come of it. ‘The present ratio of coinage is sixteen to one, silver to gold. The actual difference now is twenty-four to one. | think we should increase the ratio to 20 to 1, which would be just haif way between the legal ratio of today and the actual ratio, and then provide for free coinage. SENATOR DOLPH’S POSITION. Senator Dolph of Oregon, who is the only Pacitic slope Senator in the city, said this | morning: “I am opposed to my colleague, as you know, on the subject of free coinage, and am in favor of maintaining all the currency on a par with gold, but it seems to me this action of the In- dian’ government will diminish instead of increase the prospect of pass ing the repeal of the Sherman law by the Senate. I think the effect will be to make thoughtful members of Con- gress hesitate before they further depreciate | the value of silver by suddenly throwing upon the market of the world the 4,500,000 ounces of silver, equivalent to nearly the whole American | product now purchased and stored by the gov- ernment. Ido not know that anything better | than the repeat of the Sherman act can be done | to relieve the situation, but I am fearful that | the repeal of that act would be disastrous to the | finances of the government and to silver.” ‘The Senator further desired to correct a published statement that he had said in sub- stance that Mr. Cleveland would not be able to command the presence of Congress at the | special session and that for himself he should | not come to Washington prior to September 30. He might have sid that Congress should not, on account of the hot weather, be convened earlier than September 20, or that he did not | expect to be in Washington until the 20th, but | he had said nothing indicating any opposition to Mr. Cleveland or that he would not be on hand whenever Congress was called. No senator, he said, was more constant in attend- | ance or more willing to do his share of the work than he was, and he would probably be a | better supporter of Mr. Cleveland’s financial | measures than the majority of democratic senators.

THE RESULT OF A PERSONAL INSPECTION BY CAPT, JONES OF THIS CITY—THE VANDALS of A TROLLEY RAILROAD IN THEIR EFFORTS TO SELL RAILROAD BONDS OBLITERATE HISTORIC spoTs. A Inrge number of the veterans of the late war living in this city intend to go to Gettys- burg in the early part of July. There is to be a great gathering there at that time, as the monument erected by the New York State Asso- ciation is to be dedicated. It is not known whether there will be another battle on that lustoric ground when the veterans get there or not, but it is said the old soldiers are very in- dignant because of the desecration of the battlefield by the —_—pro- fectors of a trolley railroad. Such widespread attention has been called through the press dispatches to this occupation of the battlefield by the railroad that the old soldiers throughout the country are well informed on the subject. However, in order to get at the facts by actual inspection Capt. F. C. Jones of the Second and Third Army Corps Associa- tions of this city went to Gettysburg on Sat- urday, returning home last mght. He spent the entire day of Sunday in going over the battlefield, y along the line of the trolley raiiroad, and be says that there is no doubt of the great and irreparable damage that has been done. Unfortunately, he says. the work of desecration has been completed and the cutting and blasting for the tracks has been carried through the field of thesecond and third days’ battles, through tho rocks of the Devil's Den and onto Round Top. The rock which were crowded with the dead and dyi and stained with thelife blood of the soldiers who lost their lives on that fatal field.have been blasted out until the entire character of the pisee hina boon changed. Radieal changes have een made in other historic piaces. A EAD VANDALISM. Of course the projectors of this vandalism, Capt. Jones says, could not obtain the right of way over the ground owned by the Monument ‘ion or by the seventy-second Pennsyl- went or by the Grand Army post of Gettysburg. All. concessions were secured from the town authorities and from the private owners of the land, which is now used for farm- ing purposes. The road of necessity, there- fore, has been obliged to wind im, out and around these reservations, In the’ main the Toad passes between ihe two lines of battle. ‘The singular feature of the entire affair, pt. Jones ienrned from inquiry from the residents there, is that the citizens of Gettys- burg are opposed to the road and are not in- terested in itin any way. The money that has been spent in building the road eame from out- sidersand Capt. Jones says that theunderstand- ing is’ that tho enterprise is a. apeculation, tlit the road cost to build—and it is rearly compieted and ready to be operated— about $75,000. An effort is being mado now, he says, to bond the road for $250,000, and if the bond, can be placed the profit of the prpjectors will’ be secured, He says that no ont believes that the road will ever pay, and xince the agitation against it has been started it has been difficult to sell the bonds. WILL BOYCOTT THE ROAD. It was expected that the road would be ready to be operated the early part of next month, will be possible. At any rate, the veterans who will attend the New York celebration next even if it is running. Some of the old soldiers are so indignant that this historic spot should have been defaced so rath- lessly that it has been proposed to repeat the operation that was so familiar to many of the Id soldiers in the war and tear the tracks up. The chairman of the New York committee, hearing this, has advised against it, but it is not known what the old soldiers will do when they sec with their own eyes the ruin wrought in this, perhaps the most sacred spot of the entire war. ‘Gen. Sickles has shown his disapprobation of the xcheme in every way possible, and Capt. Jones says that he has refused to give the pho- tograph privilege to the burgess or mayor of the town, who is thought to have favored and assisted the railroad men in getting the right to occupy the public roads. It seems that the burgess has had along and exclusive privilege to go on the grounds of the association and to take pictures of groups or of the monu- ments, and no other photographer was given this right, Itwas a lucrative privilege, but now some other photographer will enjoy it who has at least not taken active steps against what is considered the interests of the old soldiers. —<$<—<_.-_—___—_ TO INVESTIGATE THE COLLISION.

The creditor heard that the coal dealer had deposited $1,000 with the Italian consul and he immediately brought suit in the city court to recover his money from the coal dealer. ‘The plaintiff's luwyer applied -to the court for an order directing the Italian consul to turn over to the custody of the court $200 of the 81,000 deposited by the defendant.

A MAN OF DIPLOMATIC EXPERIENCE. No Retaliatory Measures for the Geary Law Likely. THE KEROSENE EXCLUSION. According to information contained in letters received at the Chinese legation this morning the new minister from China, Ho Yang Ju, bas already started from the flowery kingdom for his new home. This should bring him to this city by the latter part of next month, rather earlier than was at first anticipated. The new minister is a man of about fifty years of age. He does not speak English, but he has had considerable experience with diplomatic affairs that is expected to fit him admirably for his duties. He has bad charge of some of the most important customs districts, a position that has brought him into general contact with consuls and government officials from all parts of the world. More than this, perhaps, he is a man of high rank, and has the complete confidence of the court. He is a popular man in his own country, and it is thought that he will be a popular addition to the diplomatic corps in this city. He isa married man, with several children, and is bringing his family with him to this country. His wife, contrary to the rule that prevails among women in China, does not have her feet bound up and dwarfed, but has allowed them to grow ina natural ‘manner. The reason for this is the fact that the new minister belongs to the privi- leged classes of China, the Eight Banners, and isaman of standing and prominence apart from this hereditary distinction. THE CLASSES OF THE EIOUT BANNERS. The history of these organizations is an in- teresting one. ‘The founder of the present dy- nasty was not a pure Chinaman but came from the north on an invasion. It would have been impossible for him to conquer China as ‘he did were it not for the fact that he had the assist- ance of many of the Chinese. These he afterward rewarded by forming them to eight clans, kuown as banners, to which he granted certain hereditary rights and emoluments gnd made of them privileged classes. The hew minister is a descendant of one ot the adherents of the foreigner from Mantchooria, and as a result he is a big man in China and stilldraws a goodly pension from the royal family. A telegram received in this city from Hong Korg announces that Mr. Tsui, the present minister, has received instructions from his government to return home at once and not to await tbe arrival of his successor. This is prob- ably a mistake, for Mr. Tsui will not leave Washington until after he has formally turned over his post to the new man. THE CONCESSIONS SCANDAL. In point of fact it is said that for some time past Mr. Tsui has been but little more than a minister in name. Asa result of the Chinese concessions scandal. in which the name of Count Mitkiewiez figured so prominently, he fell into bad odor with his home government. and this was the cause of his recall. There is a general understanding that Mr. Tsui does not relish the idea of returning home, for there is no telling just what the reception will be that he will meet. The whole story of that affair is well known at the Chinese court and has been for some time back. For about thé same length of time it would seem that all the diplomatic negotiations with this country have been transacted through Mr. Denby, our minister to China, and that the first intimation Mr. Tsui has bad of many important matters was what he has seen in the American papers. ‘As going to prove that this is the actual state of affairs it is interesting to note that the new minister brings with him insiruc- tions to negotiate a treaty with Mexico, to deal with commerce and immigration and to express the friendly feelings existing between the two nations. ‘The treaty was sug- gested by Mexico and it was the desire of the present minister to negotiate it as a crowning point in his diplomatic career in this country. His wishes were not gratified and he was ordered to leave the matter in abeyance until the arrival of the new man. Iu this connection it is interesting to notice another fact. Ithas been customary for the Chinese ministers to this country to receive two promotions while they are here. The pres- eut incumbent has received no such recognition in all the time that he has been here. No RETALIATORY MEASURES. ASran reporter called at the Chinese lega- tion this morning to see if there was any possibility of China as an outcome of the Geary ex- clusion act. There was no evidence of any such intent. It is believed that the Chinese have received through diplomatic channels as- surances which they consider satisfactory that the provisions of the act will never be en- forced, and that they are willing to let matters rest as they are until such time asa new treaty can be made between the two nations which shall be more satisfactory to each. “Do you remember,” said the reporter to Mr. Ho, the interpreter of the legation, “‘an inter- view that I had with the minister through you at the time the Geary act was being considered? In that interview Mr. Tsui expressed himself as of the opinion that China would adopt ret intory measures when the act went into effect. Have any such measures been adopted now?” THE EXCLUSION OF AMERICAN KEROSENE. Nor are any such measures being con- sidered at the present time, so far as we know here. The reason isa very simple one. The provisions of the act have not been enforced, nor is there any immediate probability of their being. Isee itis stated that the first step in the matter has just been taken by China in the exclusion of American kerosene, and that other measures of a like nature will be carried out directly. This, I am sure, is a mistake. From papers just received from home I have learned that the collector of Amoy has attempted to exclude American kerosene, but you must remember that Amoy is only one ce, not the whole of China. “Some years ago the viceroy of Canton ob- jected to the importation of kerosene. He Aiea bis objections on the inflammable and dangerous nature of the oil and because in the event of fire the presence of kerosene in a house was an element of considerable danger. I presume that the action of the col- lector of Amoy was based on some such reasor In the former instance the restrictions were moved soon after through the efforts of the American representatives.” ‘THE INTERPRETER, MR.

Altgeld of Tilinois bas assumed « re- sponsibility of the gravest character in ing the three Chicago anarchists who sapeert undergoing imprisonment at Joliet. His reasons for so doing will not bear examination, although he has set them out at great length.

These constitute asweep- ing arraignment of court, jury, prosecutors and police for,what Governor Altgeld considers an unwarranted conviction of the anarchists. That conviction he treats asa scandalous out- rage on justice. It is strange that Gov. Alt- geld, who has been in office six months, has just made this amazing discovery. It is more re- markable that it was not made by any of his predecessors during seven nor by either the supreme conrt of Iilinois or the Court of the United States, both of which affirmed the conviction. “Anarchy in this country never received a more deadiy blow than when justice was meted out to the diabolical bomb throwers who terri- fied Chicago some years ago.

He sets these forth in a document of 17,000 words, which is a large and angry arraignment of everybody con- cerned in bringing anarchists to justice. In fact the document reads almost as if the ernor himself were an anarchist. It shows very clearly that he hasalways been insympathy with them and has improved his first tunity to nullify the courts which did not agree with him. a] fe al F ge E ct feral g & li cee ne: CONFIDENCE IN BUFFALO. No Apprehension in Business Circles—The Banks Will Stand Together. Burraro, N. ¥., June 27.—The feeling financial circles in Buffalo this morning is one of confidence. There is nothing of » panicky nature and the action of the clearing house yes- terday effectually checked any dangerous feel- | ing of insecurity among depositors. The action of the clearing house banks in deciding to stand | together has inspired the greatest confidence and an absolute feeling of security on all sides | by reason of the fact that there are over 6,000,000 in cash in Buffalo, which any bank can have for the asking. A round of the banks was made this morning and the result of the inquiry was reassuring in every respect. The exact situation is shown by the following statement, which is made by i “The action of the Bankers’ y places all the banks in the | city ona strong basis.
