fm addition, will be tho:oughly scrubbed with an acid bichloride sclution. At the Hospital. This afternoon Dr. Nevitt made a requl- sition for a number of articles for the hos- pital. It included additional beds, blankets, medicines and other necessary articles. The Commissioners promptly approved the requi- sition, and ordered the goods sent immedi- ately. Health Officer Woodward later reported that the stenographer and typewriter of his office, fearing the disease, had requested two weeks’ leave of absence. He thought she should be given leave of absence for good and some one else ap- pointed who was not afraid. The Commis- sioners asked him to recommend some one, and he named Dr. Stacy A. Ransom, and the Commissioners forthwith appointed him. As The Star goes to press the following tetephone message was received from Dr. Nevitt: “ALL of the patients are doing as well as an be expected. Judge Rucker seems bet- ter and is cheerful. The working force has been materially strengthened by the ap- pointment of a trained nurse from the Columbia Hospital directory, and everything possible is being done for the patients. I have room here for thirty-five patients, and everything Is in readiness in the event there are any new cases.” School Closed. The Commissioners iate this afternoon decided that it was necessary to close the following school buildings during the dis- infection of the same, and issued an order to that effect: Lincoln, Giddings, Carbery, Arthur and Thompson. Spread of the Disense. With but one suspicious case reported this morning and no aéditional deaths, Health Officer Woodward was well pleased with the general situation, so far as the smallpox is concerned. “It is impossible to state at this time what the outlook may be,” the health of- ficer said to a Star reporter. “These cases have undoubtedly been infected from the first cose—that of the Coston child. It ap- pears, bowever, that the Owens case can- not be directly ‘traced to this case, and the sam@ may be said of the case of Mary Brown, the colored servant.” The period of incubation, he said, is about twelve days, although it may not be so long a time. While the doctor thinks all these cases are directly or indirectly due to the ease of the Coston child, he fears that some of these patients now suffering may have spread the disease. In event of this the cases, of course, are pot likely to develop for a couple of weeks. a matter of precaution,” said the doctor, “a general vaccination is desirable for persons who may have come in con- tact with these people, who may be on the road to an attack. By means of a success- ful vaccination they nay reduce the dis- ease to varioloid, or avert it altogether. Last evening Health Officer Woodward and bis assistants were at work until a late heur making all the provisions imagin- able for the handling of the sick in event of a serious epilemic. Arrangements were made for an additional ambulance from the police service, and the question of estab- lishing a quarantine ambuiance service was settled upon. Disinfecting Work. Health Officer Woodward, realizing the negessity of having the services of an ex- t in the matter of disinfecting places from which patients are removed, as well as schools and offices, transferred Dr. Aus- tinO’Malley from the diphtheria and scarlet fever work, and put him in charge of dis- infection. While he is so empioyed Dr. rank P. Vale will look after the diphtheria and scarlet fever cases. Surgeon General Wyman of the marine hospital service tendered the services of his bureau, and will send to the health office a steam disinfecting machine, said to be the only one of the kind made. ‘This apparatus Dr. Woodward considers the best affair yet invented for disinfection. At present sul- phur candles and a solution, the lattef pre- — by Prof. Hird, the chemist, are being used, jerstate Quarantine. Surgeon General Wyman, in addition to tendering hts services to the health officer, has issued regulations governing smallpox ag well as other contagious diseases, an advance copy of which he furnished Health Officer Woodward last night. Judge Rucker's Case. Late yesterday afternoon, after The Star went to press, another case of smallpox was reported. This patient is Judge Marion Rucker, assistant attorney general, who is in the Interior Department. He boarded at the house of Mr. E. H. Gregory, No. 1104 12th street, and is an intimate acquaintance of Mr. Coston, father of the dead child. It was not entil the yellow flag was put in front of the house that neighbors were aware that there was a case of smallpox in the house. Judge Rucker, who had been acquainted with Mr. Coston, met him on the street shortly after the death of the child, and held an extended conversation with him. It was in this way that the judge probably contracted the disease. Judge Rucker had been sick several days, and it was not until yesterday that the pustules showed themselves and made certain the suspicion that he was suffering from small pox. There are more than two dozen boar: ers in the house, and, although the judge had been isolated and attended by his wife, he could no longer remain there. The only alternative was to be sent to the hospital, which was done, but there he will receive the attention of Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, who is an expert in this line of sickness, and nis friends are satisfied that he will fare well uncer his treatment. Judge Rucker is a young man, who formerly lived at Co- lumbia, S.C. As soon as the judge was taken from the house inspectors from the health office fumigated the house and did all in their power ‘o allay the fears of others who live there William Owens, the young man at 302 4th street southeast, whose case was men- tioned in yesterday's Star, is a messenger in the patent office. He was also sent to the hospital yesterday afternoon. Public Datidings. Secretary Smith of the Intertor De- partment is greatly worried about the case of Judge Rucker, and this morning he was anxious about t'« clerks and other em- ployes who had corae in contact with him. Early in the morning the Secretary was at his desk, and before he had been there many minutes he was in communication with the health officer. The telephone was kept busy until Dr. O'Malley went to the department building with the necessary amount of disinfectant to use in an effort to kill the smallpox germs. Secretary Smith also. made known to the employes that he wanted them all vaccinated. In addition to disinfecting the Interior De- partment, Dr. O'Malley was sent to the De- part of Justice to render what service was wanted there. Among School Children, Dr. J. H. N. Waring, who is in charge of the colored public schools in the eighth division, was among the early callers at the health office this morning. The children of the colored man, Sommerville, at whose house Mary Thomag, one of the patients, lived, attended school in this division, and they were ordered away from school as soon as the teacher learned of the presence of smallpox in thelr house. Other children who had been exposed to the disease had been sent home. “They have not only been in school,” said Dr. Waring, “but they are now running the strects, where they are exposed to other children.” Health Officer Woodward sail he had no authority to compel them to keep off the streets. “If some one will find a law under which that can be done,” said Dr. Woodward, “no one will appreciate it more than myself.” Dr. Waring said that the parents of many of the children were uneasy because of the fact that these children were in the schools and he wanted the buildings fumigated. Health Officer Woodward said he thought there was probably no danger in the rooms now, but as a matter of precaution he thought the rooms should be fumigated, and gave th proper directions therefor. Dr. Waring told a Star reporter that in his division he had ordered out of school all children who have not been vaccinated within five years as required by law. The demand for vaccine points today was much larger than yesterday, and the supply on hand at the drug stcres was hardly equal to the demand. Durirg the day the applications made to the health office for points were numerous, and the supply was hot large enough to give the doctors to the poor as many as they wanted. There was an equal distribution of them, however, and the doctors will get as many as they may need this evening, although the num- ber of poor persons making application to get vaccinated Is very large. Several establishrients employing a num- THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1894-TWELVE PAGES. ber of persons telephoned to the health of- fice fer a physician to vaccinate the em- ployes, and the first doctor to appear upon the scene after the receipt of the message got the job. It is estimated that at least 5,000 persons were vaccinated during the day. Registering Nurses, The publication in last evening’s Star of the need of nurses for the smallpox brought a number of applicants to the health office this morning, and those who had suffered an attack of the @isease and presented other qualifications necessary to make them good nurses were registered in order that they might be called upon if necessary. There were no trained nurses among those who called. Original Case. Mr. Coston, father of the dead child, the first victim of the disease, was at the health’ office again today, but Dr. Woodward hail- ed him on the steps and requested that he not call again. Dr. Woodward afterwards told a Star reporter that Mr. Coston called through a misapprehension. Dr. Wood- ward said that he would keep a lookout, so far as Mr. Coston’s family is concerned, in = to see if any more of them are taken sick. Being Vaccinated. All day yesterday and today there has been a constant stream of persons entering the health office and asking that they be vaccinated. Some men brought their wives and children, while mothers had their off- spring, whom they wanted protected from the disease. But there are no doctors de- tailed at the health office for this purpose, The physicians to the poor will, however, vaccinate all persons who are unable to pay a physician for his services, and a fresh supply of vaccine points received each morning is distributed among them for use. Some changes have been made in the staff of physicians to the poor, as well as their districts, and for the benefit of the poor persons who need their services the names of the physicians and the boundaries of their districts are given, as follow: Physicians to the Poor, Allen Walker, M.

Physician Wishes Another Examina- tion Before Disclosing Name. Late this afternoon another suspected case of smallpox was reported. The physi- cian who made the report said that while he felt certain the patient has the small- pox, he desired to make another examina- tion before firally reporting his name and residence. Folks Who Leit the House. A number of desertions from the infected premises, 1104 12th street northwest, the boarding house from which Judge Rucker, the smallpox patient, was removed to the contagious fiospital, have occurred, and in a number of instances the whereabouts of these people cannot be ascertained. Susan, the colored nurse of Rucker, who had been with him during his eight days of illness, went out last night and has not been heard from since. Dr. Wells, who was a clerk In the land office, with his wife and two children boarded in the same house with Rucker, and left last night with the intention of going with the family to Kentucky. Dr. Helden, a dentist, who had the room next to the Ruckers, also deserted last night, and is supposed to have taken a room at a hotel. Mrs. Morgan, who ts empleyed in a store in the city, was also a boerder at 1104, and left the house this morning, presymably to go to the eture. Mr. Owens of the Owen Cycie Company, who was also a member of the household, left. ‘The house is placarded and thick with the fumes of burning su!- phur. The inmates wear their hats, wraps and overcoats, and are decidedly uncom- fortable, VACCINATING CLERKS. Big Corps of Physicians at Work at Interior Department. A corps of eleven doctors from the pension office, in addition to those called for by the Secretary of the Interior this forenoon, have been ordered to the Department of ihe Interfor for duty in vaccinating em- ployes. Seventeen physiclans are now at work drawing blood and applying virus to the flesh. od Claim Against the District. Judge McComas, in Criminal Court No. 1, today began the hearing of civil causes. The first case called was that of Hendrick M. F. von Stamp against the District of Columbia for $35,000, it belng claimed that by the bullding of a sewer through certain property by the District the land has been damaged in the sum named. LATE NEWS BY WIRE Conflicting Reports Received Regard- garding the Czar. LOOKING FORWARD 70 DEATH CALMLY Said to Have Composed a Message to the People. A RULER’S HEROISM Cp pie asniconge LONDON, October 25.—The news from Livadia this morning is very conflicting, each fresh telegram contradicting the pre- ceding one, with the result that no one can make out what is the actual condition of the czar. A dispatch from Frankfort says that the ex-Empress Frederick of Germany is par- ticularly affected about the czar's illness, recalling as it does the comparatively re- cent death of her husband. It is added that she and the emperor, her son, have written letters of sympathy to the czarina. St. Petersburg dispatches this morning say that there is a general feeling of in- digpation against Professor Secharin, whose ristaken diagnosis, in the first place, it is claimed, was rendered more injurious to the patient by the professor's negligence and lack of medical skill. Professor Se- charin has been severely blamed, according to these advices, by Professor Leyden, and it is asserted that should the czar die it will be because proper treatment was not under- taken in time. ‘The dispatches referred to add that since the crisis the czarina has been subject to continual trembling and syncope. It is also stated that yesterday the con- dition of the czar varied between drowst- ness and comparative cheerfulness. Dur- ing one of the latter periods the czar is said to have been left alone with the ezarewitch for an hour, and it is under- stood that during this interview the em- peror dictated a loving message of farewell to Russia, which message will be issued upon his death. This message is said to be of a purely personal nature, and to have no bearing upon politics. The czar is reported to be much gratified at the expressions of sympathy upon the part of the Russian people, and it is said that he fully realizes the gravity of his position. ST. PETERSBURG, October 25.—The off- cial bulletin issued this morning fn regard to the health of the czar does not indicate that any real change has taken place in his condition. BERLIN, October 25.-The Russian em- bassy here has received dispatches from Livadie, dated this morning, saying that a slight improvement has taken place in the ezar’s condition. ST. PETERSBURG, October 25.—Tele- grams received here from Livadia this morn- ing say that the czarewitch and Princess Alix attended a requiem mass yesterday in memory of the Grand Duke Constantine, the ezar’s uncle, who died in 1892. The mass was celebrated at the castle of Ori- anda. The czarewitch and the princess af- terward visited the water falls. Looking Forward to Death, BERLIN, Octoter 25.—The St. Petersburg correspondent of the Cologne Gazette tele- graphs that the czar received with great courage the intimation -of his paysicians that there was no hope of saving his life. The same correspondent adds that a few days later, when he was feeling somewhat better, his majesty remarked: “It is sad that a man of my years should have to die, though personally I do not cling over- much to life. If God still deems my life of use to my dear country He will make me well.” ‘This last statement was one which was attributed to the czar after the railroad ac- cident at Borki, when his majesty's life was only preserved by the fact that the car in which the imperial family was traveling was constructed of steel. ‘The czar, still, according to the Cologne Gazette correspondent, then gave orders for the settlement of important questions in connection with the succession to the throne and at the same time expressed the wish to personally bestow his blessing upon the bride-elect and the czarewitch. It is reported here that the private mar- riage of the czarewitch to Princess Alix has been postponed for a short time and that the ceremony of betrothal may only oceur on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. During the past five days, it is stated, the czarewitch has been authorized to sigt documents in the name of the czar. ST. PETERSBURG, October 25.-A_bul- letin {issued at 11:30 ‘o'clock this morning said that the czar slept a little last night and arose this morning as usual. His appe tite is pronounced to be like that of yes: terday and the oedema has not increased. Se a eae ONER SHEHAN CALLED. COMME The Lexow Committee Going After the High Offictals, NEW YORK, October 25.—Fifty sub- poenaed witnesses were present when the Lexow committee opened its session today. Dr. Parkhurst occupied a seat near Mr. Goff. Senator Lexow said he wanted it understood that the committse would not cease to exist next January, as was popu- larly supposed, and so the people who are | staying out of the state to evade subpoenas will have to stay outside till 1500. Mr. Goff called for Commissioner Shehan, but that gentleman did not repond. A de- tective was sent to police headquarters to tell Mr. Shehan the committee was walt- ing on him. Patrolman Michael J. Cooney of the fourteenth precinct was sworn. Mr. Goff charged him with receiving a diamond ring and a gold watch from Matilda Herrmann. ‘The officer denied the accusation. you kissed her good-bye in the Grand Central lepot before she went west re- cently,” said Mr. Gof. “{ did not.” “Did you go to Saratoga with her sev- eral years ago?” “No, I went alone.” “Did you lose $5,000 on the ra “I don’t remember so much."

It is also again asserted here that the Japanese army under Field Marshal Yama- gata has successfully crossed the Yalu river and entered Manchuria. LONDON, October 25.—Inquiries made at the Japanese legation in this city show that no news confirming the reported landing of the Japanese army under Field Marshal Count Oyama near Port Arthur had been received there. But the Japanese officials fully credit the report. They add that it seems certain that Oyama’s expedition was dispatched for the purpose of attacking Port Arthur or Wel Hai Wel, or both. ge To Enforce a Mechanic's Lien, George W.

He is Considered an Exception to thé General Rule of Human Action— The Office-Holders Edict. Senator Faulkner is expected to return to Washington some time this afternoon. At democratic headquarters whatever informa- tion, if any, has been received from him is withheld, though it is insinuated in cer- tain quarters that the report of a failure of his mission is premature. Apparently their faith still looks up to Grover, notwithstanding his protracted silence, Hope still whispers that he yet may speak. It is pointed out by some of those who are most anxtous for Mr. Hill's elec- tion that Hill has been making friends of Cleveland men ever since he took the stump, and that members of the ad-ninis- tration and all the men who are d.rectly under the influence of Mr. Cleveland are anxious for the success of the full demo- cratic ticket in New York. It is insisted that this would not be so if Mr. Cleveland did not want Hill elected. It has not yet been definitely announced that Secretary Carlisle will go to New York to speak for Hill, but it is believed to be his intention to do so. Cleveland an Exception. Probably no other man in the country raised to the position of President would ever be even asked if he favored the elec- tion of the candidate of his own party. With no man but Cleveland could the doubt he raised. The position of any other man would be assumed without question. But somehow it seems to be necessary for Mr. Cleveland to reiterate a declaration of his democracy and party feeling. It appears to be always expected of him that he will be an exception to the gen- eral rule of human action in politics. It is said that Mr, Cleveland is greatly irritated at this. It is) said that he cannot compre- hend how it ts that he should be expected to make an affirmative declaration of party loyalty any more than other party leaders. it is intimated that his resentment of this discrimination in his case in a meas- ure accounts for his ‘ong silence. He is naturally stubborn and does aot lke to be driven into a position which amounts almost tc his being put on the defeastve as to his relations with his own party. Mr, Cleveland has always suffered more or less from association and the fact that men who have supported him, and no other democrat, are now fighting Hill, put Cleve- land under suspicion more than does the fact that he and Hill have never been friends. . Office-Holders in the Campaign. ‘The reported edict against office-holders taking part in the campaign was sald to have for its object the prevention of any assistance being given Hill by members of the administration, ‘This gave stronger color to the suspicion that the Cefeat of Hill would be gratifying to Cleveland. It has since been Cisclustd that Mr. Cleveland never issued such an edict, but it is known that those whose plans were interfered with by reason of this report got their impressions as to Mr. Cleve- land’s desires in the matter through some- one officially close to him, whose hints that they ought to wait for Mr. Cleveland to speak were very broad. — THEY BRAVED THE RAW WIND. Many Go Across the Long Bridge to See the Racing. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star, ST. ASAPH, Va., October 25.—The cold, threatening weather did not materially re- duce the attendance this afternoon at the sixth day’s racing of the Virginia Jockey Club, and both special trains to the track were crowded. ‘The rain of last evening had litue effect on the track, beyond doing what the club has so far failed to do, lay- ing the dust, and it is hardly wet enough to give the mud larks a chance. The club has experienced some diviculty in securing large fields, and it is v derstood that here- after those scrateh will be required to y for the privilege, which rule, it is be- ved, will insure large fields, Mr. George H. Engeman of Brighton Beach farm, and who is under indictment for attempting winter racing at the lvy City track last December, has been at the track, and it is rumored that he is endeavor- ing to lease it for the purpose of conducting a meeting running from December 1 to the Ist of next March. The officials of the St. Asaph track say that no such arrange- ment has been made, nor is one contemplat- ed by them. Nevertheless, it is insisted by many at the track today that Engeman is using every endeaver to lease the track for a winter meeting, and that if he succeeds he wiil run it quite independently of what the Alexander Island people may do. Respecting the published statement that overtures had been made looking to an agreement for a division of dates, it was stated on excellent authority this afternoon that the Alexander Island people had neither made such overture nor had they the slight- est intention of making any such agreement with the St. Asaph people. Indeed, it was stated on ahe same authority that such an agreement/would never be made. It was a fight to the finish, it was asserted, no mat- ter how profitable a division of dates might be. This determination of the Alex- ander Isiand people was expressed, it is sald, when it was suggested by a ‘person friendly to both tracks that some such agreement should be reached. The propost- tion was, however, made entirely on the re- sponsibility of this party, his intercession in behalf of harmony being neither suggested nor authorized by the St. Asaph people. One thing is certain, however, and that is that the St. Asaph people will run their meeting out, no matter if it should not pay more than expenses. It is believed, though, that they would not object to making an a division of rr amicable arrangement for dates.

Sewall, Maine, ex- consul to Samoa under Cleveland's first ad- ministration, Mahlon Chaurce of New York, Senator Lodge, Congres#men Walker and Morse of this state, and most of the leading Massachusetts republicars. President Appleton occupied the head of the table, and wielded the gavel. His speech and that of Senator Higgins anid Senator Hawley received an enthusiastic indorse- ment that they well deserved, but the hero of the occasion was Harold M. Sewall. It is not often that a man gets such a reception in Boston as he received last evening. in- dorsement is, however, a better word to use than reception, for it was at the close of his speech that the greatest demonstra- tion of the evening was evoked. The au- dience knew, in a general way, that Mr. Sewall had been the consul general to Samoa in the first Cleveland administration, and that it was his part in the proceed- ings to condemn the foreign policy of a democratic administration; but it had no premonition of the great hit which Mr. Se- wall was to make. In the course of his address he said: “British pretensicns can no more defeat the annexation of Hawaii than can demo- cratic diplomacy; the suggestion would be absurd. But it is Great Britain, and Great Britain alone, that rejoices today at the delay In annexation, and at the tardy and ungracious recognition we have given the new republic of the west. > “There is left Samoa, which, with Hawail, remains the last island group in the Pacific unabsorbed by any European power. The republican platform in this state declares against any surrender there, and the morn- ing after the convention the Herald said it did not know that we had anything to sur- render there. Well, my friends, its ignor- ance may be excusable, since Mr. Cleveland began his policy of surrender in the Pa- cific, poisoned by the personal pique of uls Secretary of State. But if be has respected the rights of the Senate; if he has heeded the warnings of the country, we have everything to surrender in Sumoa. “We have, first and above all, ovr na- tional self-respect to surrender, if we prove false to our obligations there. "We have all that twenty years of republican diplomacy have won for us there.’ We have the for- mal acknowledgment of the neutrality of the islands, and the right to insist that this neutrality shall not be violated, and a gov- ernment instituted whose existence is se- curity against this violation. We have the right to the most magnificent harbor in the Pacific ocean, unsurpassed in the world. We have the right to have our citizens there not abandoned to the discriminating laws of our commercial rivals. We have all these to surrender, sanctified by the loss of the lives of our gallant officers and men which went out in death upon the reefs of Apia as heroically as any ever offered up in battle. “When Blount hauled down our flag at Honolulu it was not the first time it had been lowered to inaugurate a policy of in- famy in the Pacific. Mr. Cleveland's first administration was not a year old when our flag was ordered down at Apia, where it had been raised -to avert the seizure of the tslands by a German squadron, and it came down with that celerity character- istic of a Cleveland administration in the execution of such an order.” Mr. Sewall went on to claim that the democratic policy had resulted in betraying the native rulers of the islands into chains and exile. Mr. Sewail’s welcome when he rose to Speak was warm enough to suit the vanity of any orator, but {t was when the au- dience had heard him through, had listened to the tremendously dramatic story he told of the failure of a democratic administra- tion to redeem the promises he had made in its behalf in a faraway tsland in the Pacific ocean, that the enthusiasm swept over the hall in a mighty wave, bringing every man to his feet and swelling every throat with cheers for the man from Maine. a JERSEY’S SHARPSHOOTERS HERE. Gov. Werts and State Officials Came Along to Encourage the Team, The sem{-subdued rattle of musketry in the rifle gallery of the District National Guard this morning was evidence that the riflemen who have come from New Jersey to compete for honors with some of the est shots in the local brigade were exer- cising the muscle and the Invisible but potent forces which are called into play when accurate marksmanship ts demanded. The visitors arrived last night. They came over the Pennsylvania road, and were re- veived at the depot by Major George H. Harries and Capt. H. M. Parmenter. Gov. Werts was, of course, the principal figure, but he was surrounded by a number of other sons of Jersey, who, if not as conspicuous officially, have nevertheless earned the right to be known as high-grade humanity. Those who were driven up to the Normandie were: Gov. George T. Werts, ©. R. Gray, ex-state treasurer; George Rich- ards, president of the board of asylum management; Gen. E. P. Meaney, judge advocate general; Gen. W. C. Heppen- heimer, inspector general; Oliver Kelly of the stat®board of assessors, Capt. De Lan- cey G. Walker, judge advocate, sixth regi- ment, N. J. N. G.; Col. W. H. Early, de- partment quartermaster general; George 8. Duryee, insurance — commissioner; George B. Swayne, state treasurer; A. M Runyon, ex-controller; H. D. Winton, sena- tor from Bergen county; B. Courlander, superinteadent Long Branch division Penn- sylvania railroad; Col. C, F. Loutrel, deputy quartermaster general; J. V. Jordan, pro- prietor Elberon Hotel; Col. George G. Fel- ton, deputy quartern.aster general; Col. Charles A. Sterling, A, D. C.; Col. George Pfeiffer, jr.; Gen. B, W. Spencer, inspector general of rifle practice of New Jersey; Col. William F, Decker, assistant inspector gen- BE. Beck, Essex troop; Maj. D. A. second tegiment; John Ranson, second regiment; William Hayes, gecond regiment; Col. A. R. Kuser, A. D. C.; John L. Kuser, Essex troop; Sergt. Aug. Dietrich, second regiment, and Col. John C. Owens, assistant inspector general of rifle practice. Gen. R. A. Donnelly, quartermaster gen- eral; Col. John Van Cleef, of the governor's staff; Capt. Graff and Mr. John Kuser are expected this evening. Jersey's Tenm at Work. Gen, Spencer had his team ready for work in good season this morning, and seemed to be very well satisfied with the scores made in the galley. There is a good deal of difference between shooting indoors with a reduced charge and shooting on the range, but the Jersey cracks caught on to the points quite rapidly, and seemed to satisfy themselves. While the team was busy other members of the party were wander- ing around the city, calling on friends or otherwise amusing themselves. This after- noon was a season of repose for those who didn’t care to leave the hotel, but a large percentage of the party visited The Star office, and seemed to derive considerable satisfaction from a close inspection of The Star's mechanical equipment, the processes of making a newspaper being followed from the composing room to the press room. ‘This evening the entire crowd will attend Robert Manteil's performance of ‘The Cor- sican Brothers” at Albaugh’s Opera House, seats having been reserved for the visitors by the management. Tomorrow morning there will be more &f practice in the gallery for the team, and the afternoon will probably be occupied by a tour of the gun foundry at the navy yard. Saturday will, however, be the big day, for then the match is to come off, and a general good time enjoyed by the Jersey- men and Washingtonians who have for the fast five years been firm friends and en- thustastie members of the greatest mutual admiration society in the United States. —_.>—_—_.

COLONEL GARRICK MALLERY Death of a Man Well Known in the Scientific World. He Served With Distinction During the War of the Rebellion—Briet Sketch of Hin Career. Col. Garrick Mallery, U. 8. A., retired, died last evening at his residence in this city, 1828 N street, in the sixty-fourth year of his age. He had been sick for only two or three days, and it was thought yesterday that he might finally recover, but toward evening he sank rapidly until the end came. During the war he contracted physical dis- abilities, which indirectly brought about his death. He leaves a widow, but no chil- dren, and a half brother, who is an officer in the army. Col. Mallery was regarded as one of the most scholarly men in Washington, and his death will be a severe loss to literary and scientific circles. Since 187) he had been ethnologist in the bureau of ethnology, and his researches into the history, manners and literature of the American aborigines were exhaustive, and gave him a name in the scientific world on both sides of the Atlantic. He was prominently connected with the Cosmos Club and a number of scientific societies. He served in the war with credit and distinction, and received honorable mention for the part he played in the great strife. He was given the brevet title of colonel of volunteers for gallant and meritorious services, and brevet lieuten- ant colonel, U. 8. A., for his services at the battle of Peach Orchard, Va. A Distinguished Carcer. He was the son of the Jate president judge of the circuit court of Pennsylvania, and a direct descendant from Peter Mal- lery, who arrived in Boston from England in 1638. Several of his ancestors were military officers in the colonial service and in the revolutionary war, and, through his mother, he was descended from John Harris, founder of Harrisburg, and William Maclay, first United States Senator from Pennsylvania. He was graduated at Yale College in the class of W, and three years later received the degree of LL. D. from the University of Pennsylvania. The same year he was admitted to the bar of Phila- deiphia, where he practiced law and en- gaged in editorial work until the first call for troops in the civil war. He was ap- pointed from civil life, and held the actual rank of captain, seventy-first Pennsylvania infantry, June 4, 1561. He was in the field during the war from 186L to 1834. He entered the veteran re- serve corps with date of July 1, 1864, as lieutenant colonel third regiment, veteran reserve corps. He was appointed captain forty-third United States infantry July 28, 1866, and served in various positions in Virginia,for a time being acting governor of the state. In August, 1870, he reported to the office of the chief sigaal officer, United States army, ayd was on duty as assist- ant, and for long periods as acting chief signal officer, until August, 1876, when, having been assigned to the first United States infantry, he was ordered to Fort Rice, D. T., where he made investigations into the sign language, pictographs and mythologies of the North American In- dians, resulting in an order of the Secre- tary of War to report to Maj. J. W. Pow- ell, in charge of the geological and geo- graphical survey of the Rocky mountain region. He was retired July 1, 1879, for wounds received in Hine of duty and ac- cepted the appointment in the bureau of ethnology. Connected With Many Societies. Col. Mallery was an active or honorary member of several sclentifie and literary societies in Europe, as well as the United States, and was a founder and president of the Anthropological Society and of the Cosmos Club, formerly president of the Philosophical Society and of the Literary Society, vice president of the American Association for the Advancement of Sci- ence, and presidept of the joint commis- sion of the five scientific societies of Wash- ington. He was one of the founders and the president of the local Yale Alumni As- sociation. He contributed largely to pe- riodical literature, but his raost important works, some of which have been trans- lated into other languages, dealt with the North American indians, a ,subject in which he was a recognized authority. He had but recently completed a volume, en- titled “Picture Writing of the American ’ which was published this year as an extract from the tenth annual re- port of the bureau of ethnology. This work is regarded as the effort of his life, and is looked upon as a wonderfully able and ‘scholarly treatise. A second volume was all but completed before his death ome will probably be issued before very long. ‘The funeral will take place from his late residence tomorrow afternoon at 1:30 o'clock. The honorary pallbearers will be Dr. Fleteher, Prof. Langley, Col. I. Ed- wards Clarke. Gen. Wright, Gen. Vincent, Maj. Powell, Dr. Yarrow and Mr, Thomp- son Alexander. ——— GONE FOR MORGANFIELD.

GOSSIP ABOUT THE REORGANIZATION ne Fluctuation in the Price of Man- hattan Elevated. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS —__+--_— Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, October 25.—The high-priced stocks were the features of today’s specula- tion, and, as usual, value gave way to prominence. Rumors that Reading would go into today’s meeting of the coal sales agents with the determination to insist on certain rights and privileges to which the road is entitled, but has never enjoyed, gave rise to apprehensions of a coal war. All of the coal carrying roads were attacked by the bear party, and, owing to the entire absence of support, declines varying from 1 to 5 per cent rewarded the effort. An authority on Reading is quoted as saying that any change in the present agreement must result bene- ficially to that property. The larger roads have never taken the agreement seriously, and hence in following its exact provisions the road in question has been deprived of its proportionate share of the trade. In the present state of the anthracite coal market the cancelation of existing agreements, without the adoption of sat- isfactory substitutes would result in a wholesale slaughter of rates. The present output is in excess of the demand and barely reflects a profit at prevailing rates. Unless harmony is restored at today’s meeting, which was not indicated by the proceedings at midday, consumers are like- ly to profit by the dissatisfaction of the producers and transporters of the product. Delaware and Hudson led the decline by a drop of 43-4 per cent to 1261-4, followed by Lackawanna, Jersey Ceneral and Kead- ing for losses of 3 1-8, 3 and 1 per cent, re- spectively, Lake Shore reacted 11-2 per cent in sympathy with its neighbors and North- west was freely gold on an expected de- crease in earnings for a loss of 1 per cont. Manhattan was strong in the first few minutes of business as the result of freely circulated bull points, but reacted 1 1-4 per cent later in the day on the resumption of bear selling, accompanied with the usual pessimistic forecasts. The remainder of the railway list was barely steady, the small percentage of decline being due to the superior attractions of the stocks above mentioned rather than to recognized merit. The general situation is unchanged, profes- sionalism and bear arguments dominating the course of the prices. In the industrial list fluctuations were less extreme and the volume of business moder- ate. Sugar’s plans are unknown outside of official circles, which explains the recent conservative action of the stock. The strength of the stock as indicated by the tape presents the short selling seemingly warranted by the condition of the trade. Lead common sold down to % per cent on small trading, and Chicago Gas lost 4 on sales by the room. The market for foreign exchange opened strong, but yielded later in the day under a free offering of bills and a reported decrease in the demand. The trading of the last hour was steady at advances over previous low figures. The decision of the -oal authorities to advance rates and limit next month's out- put to the full capacity of the several roads, without restriction, greatly improved the situation. Net declines for the day were recorded in a majority of the more active stocks. —— FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL, ‘The following are the opening, the high- est and the lowest and the closing prices of the New York stock market today, as re- ported by Corson & Macartney, members New York stock exchange.
