———————— A PRESS CENSOR Singular Position of the Assistant Secretary of War. NO NEWS EXCEP? THROUGH HIM) He Has Rebuked Old Army Officers for Leaking. CRITICISMS > SOME There is general complaint of the difficulty of obtaining legitimate information in re- gard to the official business of the War Department. It comes from all sources, Congressmen, lawyers, merchants, and last, but not least, newspaper men. Under the existing system the official acts of that department are a sealed book. Officials, from chiefs of bureaus down to their mes- sengers, have been repeatedly warned against revealing any of its business that may have come before them in an official way or otherwise, no matter how innocent or insignificant it may seem, to anybody outside of the departments without first having obtained permission to do so from Gen. Doe, the new assistant secretary of war. When Secretary Lament reorgan a - the business methods of the department ne | gave the bureau chiefs, all of whom are officers of high rank in the army, a limited | discretion in the matter of divulging otticial | news, so far as their own offices were con- | veerned. But Assistant not satistied with thi when the Secretary went bim in char; ngement, an way and left | the department he took occasion to lecture the bure officers and to give the: orders wh! Y ttically de- Prived them of all discretion in the mat- ter. Mr. Doe asx a Censor. Mr. Doe is a young . and gained his knowledge of military affairs as the ad- jutant general of the Wisconsin state mili- | tia. Several of the men he lectured were many years his senior, and had served in the army all through the war. They had an idea they knew their business better than he did, and consequently they did not take his strictures with the best of grace. paper publications about military affairs seemed to cause Mr. Doe more worry than ail his official responsibilities and perplexities, and it is said he got the | idea in his head that he would personally | control all such publications in the future | and that nething abouc War Department affairs should be published without his au- thority. It is said that he thought he had | but to express his in this matter and | it would be respected, both by officials of the department and by the ubiquitous news- Paper men. But it was not so by any man- ner of means. Things got into the papers Just the same as usual, without having undergone the scrutiny ‘or censorship of Mr. Doe. whereupon he waxed “exceeding wroth.” Not that the matters were of any importance or that theit publication could have resulied in any possible harm. They had not been authorized by Mr. Doe, and that was a most serious offense. The Young Man's Mistake. He instituted investigations without num- ber to ascertain how the matters got out, and in so doing, it is asserted, he con- trived. by his open insinuations, to prac- tically insult several officers of high rank. Army officers “are not apt to betray official Secrets and are exceedingly sensitive to criticism on that seore. The War De- Pertment never was a prolific field for the Dews gath but it rever was such a close corporation in that respect as it is | urder the present administration. Mr. Doe | labors under the sad mistake that he is the only person who knows what should and what should not be made public: that is, the only person outside of Secretary Lamont. He fs willing to conceds Mr. La- Mont some rights in the matter, but no one else. He therefore has ordered that all applications for information be submitted to him. As he is generally inaccessible to callers other than personal friends it will be readily understood that the searcher after legitimate information in his depart- ment has a hard road to travel. Mr. Doe las ‘two private secretaries and there is &@ popular theory among newspaper men that their principal function {s to turn down visitors in order to protect their chief from the vulgar gaze of the public. His Action Criticined. Mr. Doe finds few supporters of his pol- fey of secrecy even among the newspapers of his own party. The Baltimore Sun speaks of the matter as follows: “There is some indignation among off- cials of the War Department over the con- duct of the assistant secretary of war in reprimandirg a number of army officers of high rank for giving information re- garding certain action taken by the de- partment, and it Is understood that the edict has gone forth that hereafter no one connected with the department shall trans- mit, directly or indirectly, by letter or word of mouth, anything relating to the business except upon the consent of Secretary La- mont’s assistant. “Mr. Doe, who was appointed assistant secretary at the solicitation of Don M. Dickinson and other western democrats, 1s @ young man who, for a number of years; was adjutant general of the Wisconsin state forees. He has inaugurated a number of drastic ‘reforms’ in the department, some of which are objectionable to the old army officers. Hits latest ts to muzzle their opinions, or, in fact, to prevent them from making any communications to any one regarding the conduct of the affairs of the department. Mr. Doe holds that persons seeking information should apply direcyiy to him, and that he shall be the judge of what Is to be given out and what not. He | 1s of opinion that much matter leaks out at the department which the public, especiaily, | is not entitled to, and he proposes to be the | judge of what is proper for publication and | for persons to learn hereafter. It 1s said that upon several occasions of late the young assistant has rebuked old officers for giving out information, and that these | officers hold such rank that they do not bo- lieve the young assistant has been justified in calling them to account.” Even More Severe. The New York Times is even more severe than its Baltimore contemporary. It sa: “WASHING , September 8—The War ertment has a censor of the press. As- sistant Secretary Doe, whose few years’ services as an adjutant general of a western state gave him the highly appreciated title of ‘general’ has added materially to the | duty which naturally devolves upon the second head of the department by a eritical survey of all that ts published in the papers directly or remotely relating to the War Department and the army. When a para- graph of even minor importance appears in the papers not traceable to the office of the sesistant secretary for its source, Mr. Doe has an investigation. No business is too important to suspend that he may dis- cover the culprit who furnished the hint which formed the basis of the paragraph in question.

Doe could iast long enough it would be possible to boast of the rediscov- ery of the dodo.” - — ~~. -¢—____ EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. Where Young People and Adults May Pursue Their Studies.

The con- stant intfigues of China there have been a threat to the peace of the east. The Japan- ese government has desired the settlement of this question only for th peace of the east. It has been entirely without expec- tation of territorial aggrandizement or ex- ercise of suzerainty over Corea. “With the agsurance of autonomy to ‘orea, which Is the design of this treaty, there will be opportunity for great im- provements in her system of government, internal administration and other affairs.” Mr. Kurino said he did not think the treaty could be called a step toward a peaceful settlement with China, as China was tenacious, her ciaim of said, have put an e n sentimental grounds, of azerainty.

Jackson to Try London. “I don't want the affair to take place in a field or a tent,” said Jackson yesterday, speaking of the proposed fight with Corbett at Stoux City, Lloyd became considerably excited over the fun that Davies poked at the papers, but kept his temper and tried hard to ob- tain the necessery signature. He declared positively, however, that he could not bring off the fight in time specified by Jackson. “We have got té have gaod weather to get a good crowd,” he said. “I want to see this thing go through, but there ts no use talking of bringing it off in three months. “It’s three months or nothing,” declared Davies, and Jackson added, “That's right.” “Well, it's off,” said Davies, as he picked up his hat. “I didn’t like the looks of this thing, anyway.” Jackson followed, and the pair left the hotel. It was announced later that Jackson would leave for New York tonight and im- mediately sail for the West Indies, whence he will go t» London. “It is apparently useless to try to get a fight with Corbett,” the pugilist said. “I couldn't afford to lay around doing nothing all winter, while Corbett was on the stage making money out of the advertisement this fight would give him. The thing is clear off now. I’ll try London awhile.” YESTERDAY S RACING, First race, five furlongs—Selah, first; Phil Daly, second; Radiant, third. Time, 1:03.

EXILES FROM BLUEFIELDS They Tell the Story of Their Expul- sion. Sent Away From Home Wi out Be- ing Informed of the Charges The New Orleans Times-Democrat has the followmg from Port Limon, Costa Rica, September 4, 1804: The following exiles from Bluefields, eleven in number, arrived in this port, via Puntarenas, this afternoon: E. D. Hatch (English), acting her British majesty’s vice consul; G. 8. Hodgson (native), clerk su- preme court; 8S. A. Hodgson (native), judge supreme court;Washington Gliver (English), clerk; A. Markiand Tyler (English), editor and owner of the Bluefields Messenger; G. B. Wiltbank (American), planter; W. H. Brown (English), merchant; J. N, Lampton (American), planter; Charles Paterson (na- tive), vice president; J. W. Cuthbert (Eng- lish), attorney general, and J. O. Thomas (English), judge supreme court. These are all prominent business men in the reservation, most of them leaving con- siderable property behind. They are un- decided as to their future movements, their intertion at present being to remain here wntil some detinite action in regard to their arrest and detention has been taken by their respective governments. They ull express themselves highly in- dignant at the reports of some of the Amer- ican papers to the effect that their actions are in eny way responsible for the upris- ing of July 5. This they emphatically deny, and they say that the only foreigners who were at all implicated in this uprising left the country immediately that they found the part they had played made them sub- ject to arrest by the Nicaraguan govern- ment and after being refused protection by their respective consuls and the captains of the war vessels. They say that durmg the whole trouble but two lives have been lost, and these were of two Nicaraguan sokliers, who were killed on the evening of July 6. Mr. Lampton's State: The following is a report of the affair, given by Mr. J. B. Lampton, and of their arrest on the 16th of August and their treatment by the Nicaraguan authorities since that date. The statement is made in the presence of E. D. Hatch, W. H. Brown, G. B. Wiltbank and other members of the party, who corroborate it in every particu- lar. They say that no accurate report has yet been sent out by the resident reporters in Bluefields on account of the fear they entertain of the Nicaraguan authorities. The data of this account are witnessed by Mr. Tayicr of the Bluetields Messenger,who apparently has gone to great pains in keep- ing records of every detail. Mr. Lampton says: “On the morning of Avgust 16, twelve of us, all residents in Blvefields, and business men of ‘more or less prominence, were notified by the chief of police, in the service of the Nicaraguan government, that Dr. Jose Madriz, special commander of the Mosquito reservation, desired to see us. This call was willingly answered, it being the opinion that it was the commissioner's desire to see us on mat- ters appertaining to the causes that brought about the troubles in the reservation. On arrival at the government building we were met at the head of th. stairs by armed sol- diers, who demanded to know our business, ard on learning it, the officer in command carried up our respective cards and we were at once admitted into the council chamber. Here we were rotified to consider qurselves as prisoners of Nicaragua, and a decree was read to the effect that we would have to Proceed at once to Managua to answer cer- tain charges, and in case of refusing to go, we would be expelled from the country. “On inquiring the nature of tMese charges the Nicaraguan minister of war told us that he was unable to give them, upon which eight of the twelve present, including E. D. Hatch, William M. Brown and G. B. Wilt- bank, elected to leave the country, on the grounds that the Atlantic coast had been declared by the Nicaraguan government to be under martial law, and therefore they were entitled to be tried at the place of their arrest—Bluefieids. The others agreed to go to Man: to “answer whatever charges might be brought against them. “We then asked for time to wind up our affairs, and it was agreed by the ettorney general that three days should be given vs for that purpose. After consideration ty the Nicaraguan officials, however, this con- cession was countermanded and we were given one hour only to consult with our people, and this had to be done in writing with copying ink, and a copy taken by the Nicaraguan government. At this time we were all penniless and without extra cloth- ing or bedding, but this fact was treated with perfect indifference by the Nicaraguan authorities. We were taken to From this point we were sent to Punta- renas. We have never been informed of any charge or charges against us. In fact, we are just as well informed as when we left Bluefields.” ————_+e+______ THE MAINE ELECTION. Various Deductt by New York Editors. From the New York Herald. r There is nothing strange that a highly “protected” New England state, which has s0 long reaped annually many millions of dollars exacted from less favored sister states, should be “solid” against progres- sive tariff reform, which would equalize burdens and gradually put an end to the stupendous robbery of tariff taxation. The solidity of Maine for a revival of this system of wholesale plundering of the people for the benefit of manufacturing trusts and favored classes ought to rouse, and, if we mistake not, will rouse, every patriot in the land to redouble his efforts to give the finishing blow to every form of McKinleyism and its new-born progeny, Gormanism. No people fit for freedom will let these monsters survive, From the New York Sum, The state election there on Monday was a more sensational demonstration than the national election of 1802. It was more un- usual in its character and more revolution- ary in its indications. It shows a feeling on the part of the republicans in one of the oldest states of the Union that there exists a reason for an extraordinary _ protest against the polities ruling at Washington, and on the part of the democrats a humil- iating confession that they cannot say no to it. If it foreshadows a general spread of this indignant disgust at the achievements of a so-called democratic administration that knows no law but itself, ang that is not warmed by a single spark of American democracy, then the outlook for the party now burdened with it {2 indeed grave. m the New York Times. ‘The elections in Maine and Vermont are the expression of the feeling of thinly settled communities, Jargely rural, as to the immediate past, which has not been cheer- ful or encouraging. The republicans stuck closely to their own ticket. The democrats were divided and showed evidence of the discontent, net to say disgust, aroused by the treachery in the Senate. This is par- ticularly shown by the populist vote, which seems to have been some four times as large as it was two years ago.

Taking the they are weaker, and they are weakest where two years ago they were the strongest. @ state as Maine the populist vote is simply a cry of discouragement and dis- and no trustworthy inference can be drawn from it. Even the same state would vote very differently two months when the course of business had been determined and the voters were thinking of the future, and not of the past. From the New York Tribune. Democrats will say that the utterly inde- cent Hawaiian policy of the President had especial influence on the state which knows and honors Minister Stevens. That is true, and in other states, as well in Maine the attempt to set ur an idolatrous wanton as despotic ruler of Americans in the Sand- wich Islands has its proper weight. It is equally true that the good people of Maine do not delight ta a socialistic income tax. Butt is enougn that the democratic policy, in home and foreign affairs alike, is con- demned by American voters. The whole piece is woven from the same wool, and it is throughout hostile to American interests and instincts, whether in trying to force a bloodthirsty queen upon Hawaiians or in favoring the lumbermen of Canada at the expense of the lumbermen of Maine. A sturdy and stalwart loyalty gives both the indignant censure which British govern- ment of the United States must ever meet. From the New York World. It is the World’s habit to deal with elec- tion returns on the basis of hard arithmetic and cold facts, whatever may be their nature or significance. The truth in regard to Maine is that the republicans have won an unprecedented victory, It surpasses re- publican expectations and fer exceeds demo- cratic fears. That they did this not so much by in- creasing their vote—they have polled more in former elections—as by the failure of democrats to go to the polls does not alter the fact or greatly change its meaning. Party men do not stay at heme on election day without a reason and a purpose. The Maine democrats refrained from voting in great numbers because they are profoundly dissatisfied with the course of their party at Washington. The long dilly-dallying over the tariff to the serious injury of busi- ness and the final enforced surrender to the sugar ring and the coal and iron combines caused a revulsion ef feeling which only time and reparation can cure. There is a warning in this revolt, follow- ing the somewhat similar one in Vermont, for the democrats of all other states, par- ticularly those of New York. There are greater causes for dissatisfaction here than in Maine. One of our democratic Senators joined the strikers against the Wilsen bill, be silly enough to think that the populist ——s four tives, voted against the measure that finally passed. There is’ intense disapproval of several incidents in the state administration for the past three years. Widespread cor- ruption and systematic blackmail in one department of the city government have been disclosed, and ignorance, inefficiency and wastefulness, if nothing worse, are knowy: to exist in others. An unpromising situation is not made bet- ter by shutting the eyes to it. The demo- cratic party of New York will need to dis- play rare circumspection, true courage and honesty and high devotion to principle if it would avoid a disaster of which Maine gives timely warning. oS SCHOOLS AT ARMY A Probable Recommendation That They Be Abolished by Congress. A subject that will undoubtedly be con- sidered in the next annual report of the Sec- 1etary of War is the proposed abolition of schools at the different army posts, against which many complaints have been made. It is claimed by some that the post schools have been failures. Many of the enlisted men object to attending the schovls for the reason that advertises their ignorance. These schools are established by law and cannot be abolished without action on the part of Congress. They are, however, prac- Ucally unnecessary under the new law, which provides that no one shall be admit- ted to the ranks unless he is able to speak, read and write the English language. Of course, when there were many men in the army who could not understand English, some means were necessary to supply them with proper instruction, but it is said that this necessity no longer exists, and that the post schools can be with perfect safety.
