He graduated from the Naval Academy In 1872, and honorably eesigned, after an excellent record, in 1888, to go into business with his brother in Paris. He was adjutant general of the naval brigade at the Grant funeral exercises in New York, and was for some time instructor at a military school near Philadelphia.

Se Officers’ Lyceums. Lieut. Gen. Schofield has issued a general order amending orders of October 5, 1891, in regard to officers’ lyceums at army posts so as to exempt field officers and captains over fifty years of age from compulsory participation in the work of the lyceums except in so far as it may be found ex- pedient to employ them as assistant in- structors.

RIGHT 10 NAVIGATE CERTAIN RIVERS The Wilde Case Again in the Court. GENERAL FOREIGN TOPICS YOKOHAMA, Japan, April 19.—The Ni- chinichi today publishes the terms of the treaty of peace concluded between China and Japan. The new details furnished are that the indemnity is payable in seven years, with interest at 5 per cent, but if the amount, 200,000,000 taels, is paid to Japan in three years, no interest will be demanded. Japan is also entitled under the treaty to the most favored nation treatment and has the right to ravigate the Chung Kiang, Soo-Chow and Hong Kong rivers, to import goods of certain clusses and machinery free of duty, and to establish foctories. A new treaty of commerce is to be concluded, to be based on the existing treaties with foreign powers. China is to comply with the customs laws of Japan and finally part of the ex- penses of the occupation of Wei-Hal-Wel, Port Arthur, etc., by the Japanese troops are to be borne by China. > COMMITTED FOR TRIAL, Whlde and Taylor Again in. the Bow Street Court. LONDON, April 19.—At the Bow street police court today Oscar Wilde and Alfred Taylor, charged with serious mlsdemean- ors, were brought up on remand and were formally committed for trial, bail being refused in each case. It was noon before the prisoners were brought into the dock. Wilde was much more pallid and dis- tressed than he has seemed since he first appeared in court. It was necessary to al- low him a seat in the dock, and he rested there in a limp fashion, paying no atten- tion to the proceedings. After the evidence in the case had been presented, a list of the charges against Wilde was read, and he was asked by the magistrate if he wished to say anything in reply. Wilde answered ot at pres- en Alfred Taylor was then arraigned, and both prisoners were committed for trial. Counsel on behalf of Wilde made an ap- plication for bail, but the presiding mag- istrate replied that in his opinion the of- fense was so grave and he considered the evidence so serious that bail could not be allowed. PRIMROSE DAY. General Celebration in Memory of Renconsfield. LONDON, April 19.—Primrose day, the fourteenth anniversary of the death of Lord Beaconstield, 1s being celebrated in tubis city and throughout England, as usual, although there seems to be a change in the manner of observing the day. The use of the primrose is more extensive than ever today, but the shop windows and the fronts of houses where the conservatives were wont to display floral and other em- blems in honor of the great conservative leader are conspicuous by the absence of decoration. ‘The Beaconsfield statue in Par- liament square was not forgotten, but there were fewer flowers left there today than usual. . —— ENGLAND TO ICARAGUA, Thinks There Can Ue No Doubt About Her Case. NEW YORK, April 19.—The World this morning says: The World has received a private cable dispatch from London, giving the following reply sent by the British government to Nicaragua: LONDON, April 18. To the Foreign Minister of Nicaragua, at Managua: a 2 J have had the honor to receive your ex- cellency’s telegram of the llth instant. My note was delivered to Senor Barrios on the 26th of February, with the request that a copy be- forwarded to your excellency by mail of March 2. Her majesty’s govern- ment cannot be responsible for the delay in your receiving it. Your counter proposal has been consid- ered, and I regret it cannot be accepted. Her majesty’s government cannot admit there is any doubt as to the rights of the British subjects, and must adhere to the demands in my previous note. (Signed) KIMBERLEY. The note which the Earl of Kimberley, fhe British secretary of state for the for- eign department, refers to having been de- livered Senor Barrios, Nicaragua’s envoy Sent to England on this special mission, February 26, was what is known as Great Britain’s ultimatum to Nicaragua. Great Britain’s reply, in effect, rejects arbitration of the amount of indemnity to British sub- jects for personal injuries, and insists upon the payment of £15,000. Reaching a Critical Stage. Officials and dipiomats regard the answer of Lord Kimberly to Nicaragua as bring- ing the Beitish-Nicaragua question to a critical stage. The British answer is a brief Lut expressive declination to consider Nicaragua's counter-proposition to the British ultimatum. The ultimatum expired two days ago. Under these circumstances it is corsidered settled that Great Britain will now proceed to collect the claim, or debt, as it is viewed from the British standpoint. The fact that Great Britain's vexercise of force will not be exerted so as to affect United States interests is indicated by the fact that neither the State Depart- ment nor Sir Julian Pauncefote has been notified of Lord Kimberly’s response. It is said such notification would be given if United States interests were to be even re- motely imperiled. The British mode of action against Nic- aragua is believed to be by a “pacific blockade” of all Nicaragua ports, thus crip- pling the local commerce, but not inter- fering with the United States or other fcreign commerce. The latest official infor- mation received here shows that Great Britain ‘can at once bring to bear two formidabie fleets for blockading purposes, one on the Pacific side and the other on the Atlantic coast of Nicaragua. These fleets, nineteen ships in all, are variously disposed, but all could be ren- dezvoused for a demonstration of force. The extent of the fleet indicates the preé- parations for emergencies Great Britain always maintains. —_——.____ PARNELL BRUTALLY BEATEN. MRS. She Was Robbed and Assaulted Near Her Old Home. BORDENTOWN, N. J., April 19.—Mrs. Delia T. S. Parnell, mother of the late Charles Stewart Parnell, who lives at Iron- sides, overlooking the Delaware river, near here, was found bleeding and unconscious late last night on the hillside by Charles Casey, son of the farmer who has charge of the farm at Ironsides. At noon Mrs. Parnell still lay in an un- conscious condition. The authorities are convinced that she was assaulted and rob- bed, and have sent telegrams to all the nearby cities and towns asking that a look- out be kept for a man of medium height, with a smooth face, wearing a light over- coat and derby hat, who was seen in the vicinity about the time the dssault is be- lieved to have been committed, by Daniel Griffin, the night switch tender on the rail- road. Tronsides is a big old two-story frame structure and was built by her father, Commodore Stewart, many years ago. It is as dreary a place as one could imagine. The aged woman has no close acquaint- ances in Bordentown, and previous to 1590 had been living in destitution. In that year the attention of Congress was called to her straitened circumstances and the United States government granted her a pension of $50 per month. THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

A number of clerks in ‘the Interior De- partment met Tuesday to organize an as- sociation to provide a payment at the death of a member.

A committee to draft a ‘scheme was ap- pointed as follows: Appointment Clerk Holcombe, Mr. Byrd of the assistant at- torney general's office, Mrs. Fuller of the library, Mrs. Banks of the Secretary's ¢f- fice, Mr. Mess of the general land office, and Mr. Bradford of the Indian office. A large number of clerks have signed the call fcr organizing the association. ~ A Jewish Mission School in Persia. United States Minister Tyler, at Teheran, in Persia, appears te have had a great deal of trouble last year in securing adequate protection for certain American mission- aries wh> were striving to establish a Jewish mission school in that country. The missionaries were rudely treated by the in- ferior Persian officials, and had difficulty in protecting their pupils. Owing to the en- ergetic efforts of the minister, which found a ready response from the shah, the school was finally put upon a firm basis, although it was found necessary to caution all of the mission staticns to observe very carefully the treaty stipulations and refrain from ex- tending refuge to Persian subjects. served, THE COURTS.

Carman were held up Wednesday by two masked highway- men, while driving along a deserted road in the eastern end of Bridgeton, N. J. The two men seized their horse, and, drawing their revolvers, ordeged the two young men te throw up their hands. One of the rob- bers then climbed into the wagon> and, placing his revolver close to the heads of the frightened men, searched their pockets. He secured’ ten dollars and a small re- volver. They then ordered the men to drive on, and the highwaymen disappeared in the bushes. They wore sacks over their heads, and their hands were concealed by gloves. They are probably the same parties who held up and robbed Mr. and Mrs. Stratton one night last week, and who so cruelly beat the Misses Brown at their home in Hopewell township. 20 Charch Improvements. At the annual meeting of the congrega- tion of the Metropolitan Presbyterian Church last evening reports were submit- ted showing an increase in membership and the finances of the church to be in a pros- perous condition. Extensive repairs are to be made to the church as soon as possible, and for this purpose $4,500 has been ap- propriated, distributed as follows: General repairs, $2,500; primary class room, $1,500, and $500 for contingent expenses. Among the contemplated improvements are the building of a new gallery, frescoing, paint- ing, new sanitary system and alterations to the grounds surrounding the edifice. To meet the expenses incurred in this work, a long time loan is to be obtained and sub- scriptions solicited. Other business included the adoption of the rules of the General Assembly, as far as applicable in church procedure, and elec- tions to the board of trustees‘as follows: Messrs. Fleming, Guy and McGregor for three years each, and Mr. ‘Stewart for two yeers, the holdover members being Messrs. McGowan, Trow, Church and Clarke. —= Mrs. Catting Denied Alimony.

ACADEMY ADJOURNS The Close of an Interesting Annual Meeting. MANY PAPERS ee FRESENTED TODAY Prof. Cope Speaks of a New Kind of Cetaceas. WILL MEET NEXT FALL The National Academy of Sciences met this afternoon and took up its program of papers to be presented. Gen. Francis A. Walker presided. There was a limited at- tendance of members of the academy, and the audience of outsiders, owing to the un- certainty as to just’ when the business meetings would terminate and permit the open meetings to begin, was still smaller. Papers Read Today. Prof. E. D. Cope presented, in the hour preceding lunch, an interesting summary of information on whales, contrasting and comparing fossil forms with existing spe- cies. In the course of his paper he an- nounced that he had found a new species presenting the peculiarity of a dental groove, ossified and established, a forma- tion hitherto known only in foetal speci- mens. The paper presented classifications and conclusions based on data, which, ow- ing to the ponderosity of specimens, their infrequency and the cost of transportation, have been accumulated only by long years of research, Other Subjects Presented. At 2 o'clock the academy reassembled and proceeded with the reading of papers. Prof. G. Brown Goode presented an inter- esting paper on the application of a per- centage method in the study of the distri- bution of oceanic fishes, with a definition of eleven faunas and two subfaunas of deep sea fishes, and the relationships and origin of the Carribeo-Mexican and Med- iterranean subfaunas. Prof. H. A. Newton read a paper on the “Relation of Jupiter's Orbit to the Mean Plane of Four Hundred and One Minor Planet Orbits,” and one on the “Orbit of Miss Mitchell's Comet of 1847.” Prof. Ira Remsen described the “Two Isomeric Chlorides ef Ortho-sulpho-benzoic Acid,” and “Some Compounds Containing Two Halogen Atoms in Combination with Nitrogen.” ‘The academy will adjourn its April ses- sion this afternoon, to meet in Philadelphia October 29. —— SERVICES AT THE JAIL. Strained Relations Between the War- den and. the. ¥. M. C. A. Tie officers and workers of the Central Union’ Mission, it is said, feel that Warden Leonard of the District jail has not treated them with that consideration and justice which: they believe is due them. As a re- sult of this feeling it is understood that the District Supreme Court will be requested to investigate certain charges which may be preferred agairst Mr. Leonard by the officers of the Central Union Mission. The Sunday exercises at the jail were, however, discontinued last fall at the time of the smallpox scare from motives of cau- tion. : : As a result of a consultation between Mr. Leonard and the court the warden was directed to discontinue the practice until all danger was surely past. The members of the Y. M. C. A: and of the Central Union Mission have felt for some time, it is said, that such danger has passed, and it Is un- derstood they have requested Warden Leonard to allow them to resume the serv- ices. Their request has been refused. To a Star reporter Warden Leonard stated this afternoon that he had always en- deavored to treat the members of all the various religious associations who come to the jail in as agreeable manner as possible. He had no desire or intention of ever re- stricting their efforts when they did not interfere with the jail rules, and in refus- ing the prisoners permission to attend the services in the prison rotunda he had acted under the express authority of the court. Mr. Lecnard stated that he had no ob- jection whatever to religious workers vis- iting the prison, and now that the danger from_ smallpox has passed away, he al- lowed such visitors to pass from cell to cell for the purpose of talking and praying with the prisoners. The colored workers, he explained, held services in the rotunda, but the prisoners were not allowed to as- semble there. ‘They were, however, allowed to come out of their cells and congregate on the plat- forms of the different tiers of the wings. In that way the prisoners could see and hear all the services, and that privilege he would gladly grant to thé workers from the ¥. M. C. A. and from the Central Union Mission. There was great danger in allow- ing a hundred or more prisoners to as- semble in the rotunda, said Mr. Leonard, and for that reas@ the court had directed him to discontinue such gatherings. The statement, said Mr. Leonard, that he had charged. the Central Union Mission with the cost of repairing benches was not true. It was learned by a Star reporter this afternoon that the District Supreme Court felt that Warden Leonard had simply obey- ed the instructions of the court, and that the court had no reason to find fault with him in the maiter.

A man once over typhoid or searlet fever has the consolation of knowing that the chances are against a recurrence of the attack. It’s different with the common nuisince we call catching cold; oue fit of coughing, swiffling and sneezing is no guarantee against another; One may have indefinite colds unless he takes proper precautions, and each attack leaves him a little weaker than he was be- fare. What, then, fs the safeguard against cold at this fickle and treacherous time of year? Science and common sense reply: Duffy's Pure Malt Whisky. Why? Because it warms and strengthens. It re- tards the decay of tissue, Increases the power to ussimilnte food and overcome weariness of the It stirs the energies of the body, se that cold can no more get a hold than a horse with dull shoes can get a firm footing on ice. No matter what the almanac says about spring. It 1s a season of colds, because a few sunlit hours tempt cven prudent people to be reckless about their health. Keep the counsel just given fn your memory, and keep a bottle ci Dufty’s Pure Malt Whisky on the shelf, where you can get It when a Mutle shiver or a tickling cough warns you that colds are lurking in the “‘sprin air, nerves.
