From the Somerville Journal. Why should all the Boston papers call them “Knights Templars,” by the way? “Knights Templar’ is only Templar Knights’ turned around. No “s” is re- quired to Indicate the plural of an adjec- tive. The Boston papers are right. There fs no adjective in the title. Both names are nouns in apposition. The “s” was first omitted through the blunder of a clerk. Reckless illiteracy has continued it. Fif- teen years ago the writer attempted to make the correction, in the grand en- campment of the United States, at Chicago. ‘The thermometer then stood at about 98 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. The rag- ing heat won, and the question was post- poned. If horse had been written in the Arkansas style, “‘hoss,” so it would have continued. The old charters properly spell it; but very many of the banners have been mutilated. “Knights Templars” {s the spelling of all books of authority of the language. See the dictionaries, as, for example, the Century, the Standard, Webster, Worcester, all the encyclopaedias and cyclopaedias, as the Britannica, Americana, Chamber's, London, Metropolitana, Penny, Globe, Rees’, Cen- tury Cyclopaedia of Names, Masonic En., by Mackey; Wade's British Chronology, Blair's Chronological Tables, Chamber's Miscellany, Chamber's Book of Days, Ad- dison’s Knights Templars, Boutelle’s Her- aldry, Hallam’s Middle Ages, Lingard's History of England, Blackstone’s Commen- tarles, vol. 1, p. 486 (which also gives simi- lar instances of pluralizing, knights baro- nets, knights bannerets, knights bachelors, krights hospitallers).

MOSTLY FAIRY TALES Reports of Danger to Settlers From = Indians, WHAT WAS LEARNED AT JACKSON'S HOLE People Regard the Whole Busi- ness as a Joke. STORY OF THE MASSACRE SALT LAKE, Utah, August 1.—E. Mehey, a furrier of this city, who has just re- turned from the Jackson Hole country via Rexburg,- Idaho, with a consignment of elk heads and bear skins, which he bought from the Indians who have been hunting in that region, says the stories of danger are mostly fiction, He was present in the saloon at Rexburg when the story of the massacre of fifty settlers was concocted and written to be sent out. “The people up there,” he said, “regard the whole business as something of a joke. Of course, they know it has Its serious side, but they are all pioneers, used to serious things and don’t mind the danger. Their object in calling for troops is to get the Indians out so as to save the game for the settlers and for the tourist hunters who furnish employment and revenue for the settlers in the summer. Incidentally they make considerable out of supplies for treeps who come in. : “I had an order for two Indian Scalps. When I told the chief of scouts with the ninth cavalry what I wanted he laughed. ‘You are more likely to get darky scalps,’ he said, meaning that the colored cavalry are more likely to get hurt than are the Indians. “Beaver Dick, who has been living in Jackson. Hole for forty years and has a Bannack wife, told me that the Indians might make some trouble, but there would be no raids on settlers. He said if any- body. made trouble it would be the settlers, not the Indians. He has gone to the Gros Ventre mountains to advise the Indians to keep quiet until the excitement dies down.” Few Settlers Frightened. CHICAGO, August 1.—The Record’s ‘cor- respondent, with the troops on the way to Jackson's Hole, wired last night that very few of the settlers in the upper part of the Teton basin, the part of the country through which yesterday’s march was, have been frightened over the threatened Indian trouble. One house at the entrance to the Moose Creek canon was barricaded with a high fence of corral poles, and during the period when exciting reports were being brought out from Jackson's Hole, the neighboring ranchmen aud their families spent the night at this house. This precaution, however, has been abandoned since Sunday, whea news was received that troops were coming. Other ranchmen in the locality were not alarmed at any time. Seven of the Jack- $on’s Hole men, forming the guard which killed the Bannack Indians who tried to escape while being taken to Marysvale for @ hearing, have left Jackson’s Hole for Montana, and others are now antic!pating Prosecution. The representative of the Record was placed in charge of the Indian scouts. They will go into the mountains south of Marysvale, when the troops reach Jack- son’s Hole, and if there are any Indians in the region will hold a conference with them. The officers of the command are con- fident, however, that no Indians will be found. Several of them, who have consid- erable experience in dealing with the In- dians, assert that the differences between the settlers and the Indians must be set- tled at once, or a border warfare will be inaugurated. The Governor Apprehensite. CHEYENNE, Wyo., August 1—Gov. Richards today sent the following dispatch to the commissioner of Indian affairs: “I have reliable information that 200 In- dians, ‘supposed to be Utes, were seen yesterday near South Pass, Fremont coun- ty. Also a party of seven Sloux on Red Water creek, same county. All were mounted, armed and without women or children. The people of Fremont county are under arms and ready for resistance. Can these Indians in Wyoming be called to their respective reservations?” LANDER, Wyo., August 1—The Indians lest night were encamped near Oregon Buttes. The pecple of Dubois are still keeping a sharp lookout. It was talked loudly yesterday among the Shoshones that they were starving and would rather die fighting soldiers than starve. There is an agreement among the Bannacks, Utes, Lemhis and Shoshones that at the prover time the government will be informed that peace can be secured only by increasing their rations, z. POCATELLO, Idaho, August 1.—A cour- jer is expected at Soda Springs with im- portant news of Indian troubles. About forty families passed through Soda Springs last night, and they are still coming. A large number of tourists are leaving Soda Springs, believing it safer at other places. All settlers in Star valley have fled to the upper part of the valley and are fortifying themselves at Alton, Wyo. This leaves all property at the mercy of the Indians. GEN. COPPINGER’S PROGRESS. With Four Troops of dhe Ninth Cav- alry Has Crossed the Mountains. Acting Adjutant General Vincent re- ceived a brief telegram this morning from Gen. Coppinger. commanding fhe military operations at the scene of the alleged In- dian disturbance in the Jackson Hole country, saying that he crossed the Teton mountains yesterday with four troops of the ninth cavalry. This is taken to mean that tie troops were then within _twenty- five miles of the place where the Bannack Indians are reported to be-in hiding. The telegram was signed by Gen. Coppinger, and was dated at Market Lake, to which place it had been taken by courier. ‘Twenty miles of dense forests lie be- tween the main body of settlers and the Bannacks, who are ensconsed in the most rugged portion of the Rocky mountain sys- tem, rivaling in ambush facilities the fa- mous lava beds of the Modoc war. If the Indians are inclined to be hostile, it will be extremely difficult for the troops to dis- lodge them, and according to one authority, the “starving out” process will be the only one offering any chance of success. An effort has been made to create the impression that the troops are in danger of an Indian ambush similar to the Custer affair, but the judgment of the more con- servative element at the War Department is that the only persons in danger at present are the corralled Indians, and that they have more to fear frcm the settlers than from the sdldiers. Recent reports from the Indian country indicate that the settlers are acting on the theory that the presence of the troops will give them license to wreak a bloody ven- geance on the Indians for having objected to the slaughter of five of their number for having dared to enter the hunting grounds of the state of Wyoming. Up to date, so far as official data is concerned, the In- Gian3 have not shad a drop of white blood, nor have they committed any serious dep- redation. They are corralled in the Jackson Hole country, menaced on all sides by set- tlers, who have given notice that they will open fire upon them at the first approach of the troops. It therefore appears that General Cop- pirger will be called on to protect the In- dians from the settlers rather than to yroet the settlers from ive and it is likely that the Indians will refuse to re- turn to their reservation at Fort Hall ex- cept on condition that they are given military escort. It understood tha‘ they are willing to return peaceably to the reservation if they can be assured that they will not be molested. General Cop- pinger is, therefore, more likely to we called on to exercise his full powers of moral suasion than to ve compelled to re- sort to the bullet and the bayonet.

THE CUBAN REVOLUTION Natives of the Island Here Have Great Hope of Success. If the Contest Can Be Kept Up Spain, They Think, Will Find the War Too Expensive. New phases of the Cuban revolution are daily arising. One of the most encourag- ing of these dev2lopments to the Cubans of this city who are In sympathy with the movements now going on on the island is. the fact that, according to report, many of the prominent and most respectable ele- ment on the island are going over to the insurgent While the Cubans in this country gen- erally sympathize with any effort to se- cure the independence of Cuba from Spain, they viewed with much dread the revolu- tionary movements in the island because of the character of the men who led the insurgents. The leaders very generally were men without standing among the best class of the people of the island, and the larger part of the forces of the insurgents, to- gether with many of the leaders, were negroes. It was thought that should the insurgents succeed under such conditions the island would be reduced to a republic after the style of Hayti or San Domingo, where the ruling elements are negroes, and where republicanism, it is claimed, has been reduced to a despotism even worse than the rule which Spain has dealt out to Cuba. 5 White Supremacy Necessary. Up to the 1st of last April these unfavor- able conditions in the leadership of the Cuban insurgents were pronounced, and had independence then been gained, friends of the Cubans would have regarded with Gread the future of the island, at least until the better element there had an op- portunity to get together and become mas- ters of the situatioa. “The official census of Cuba,” said a prominent Cuban, now re- iding in this city, to a Star reporter today, ‘gives the island 1,600,000 innabitants, of which 600,000 are negroes. ‘Phis leaves a majority of the white clement sufficient to assure white supremacy, and this js the most importane issue in connection with the Cuban insurrection in the opinion of natives of the island living in this city. But in order that white supremacy should be secured without hot conflicts, they say such supremacy should be maintained at the time independence is gained, if it is secured. Otherwise, the military rule with many regro leaders would be established on the island, and it could be shaken off only after much strife. Hope for Success, “The fact that the Cuban insurrection has been kept up until the present time gives us great hope that the movement will be successful. It must be remembered that the great military display which Spain is maintaining on and about the sland is most expensive. It Is daily adding to the tremendous burden of debt, now amounting to $200,000,000. which has been placed on Cuba as the result of former irsurrections. Tt has taken all the resucrces of a tax gatherer to pay the irterest on this debt and to accumulate yearly a very small sinking fund with which eventually to wipe it out. All the revolutionisis have to do, in my judgment, is to keep on fighting and to cause sufficiert disorder to make it necessary for Spain to continue to maintain her great military-.establishment about Cuba, for it is only a question of compara- tively a short time when she will come to the conclision that the game, although ex- ceadingly valuable, is not worth the ammu- nition necessary to bring {t down.” ‘This appears to be the sentiment of all the Cubans in this city. They think that Cuban independence can be secured if the revolution can be prolonged for a year or two mcre. —————_+-e+____— ARMY OFFICERS SAW THE SERPENT. Something Able to Make a Big Splash- in the Water. Three United States army officers are the latest authorities for the confirmation of the story that a sea monster of some kind has been disporting in the waters of Long Island sound. The officers say they saw the serpent, or at least something that looked like it. The officers are Capt. Hat- field, Sergt. Horton and Corp. Miller. They landed at City Island Saturday morning from the yacht Madge, in which they were taking a pleasure trip, and told their story. They were out early in the yacht, and about daylight were tacking back and forth off Eaton’s Neck. They first had their attention attracted to the monster by an agitation of the water. There was a great splashing, and the water appeared to be whipped as though by a powerful azimal or fish. They eased off the sheets and stood by to witness the outcome. In a few minutes the agitation ceased, and the yacht was gotten under way again, but tie monster appeared some distance away, and the boat was headed for the spot. ‘They were still some distance away when they sighted the black back of the mon- ster, but were not near enough to see what it looked like. The thing disappeared again, only to rise a few hundfed feet further on. Before they could come up with it again it disappeared a third time, and did not re- appear again within range of their vision. The officers admit that they were scared at first, and that at no time were they anxious to get too close to the fish, or whatever it was. The serpent would ap- Peay to be slowly vorking its way toward ell Gate. ie last 16 it was sighted was in Cold Spring barbon PORT ARTHUR'S EVACUATION Japan Will Hold the Qhinese Territory Until the Indemnity is Paid. wi t am Official of the Legation Here Says—Views of Other Diplomats *on the Situatign. pes 11 The diplomatic corps jn, Washington is watching with especial interest at present the settlement of the auggtian of the evac- uatien of Port Arthur by, the Japanese, in view of the demand which Ryssla, France and Germany are reperted {9 have made upon the Japanese to efacuate the entire Liao Tung peniasula, without reference to China's fulfillment of her pe¥t of the Shi- monoseki treaty obligations,’ It is made quite clear at <he Japanese legation here that Japan will not accede to:this demand, if really made, without a vigcrous protest. Japan Will Fight, First. “Japan,” said an official of the legation in discussing the contingéncy today, “will fight before she will, yield’ the advantage she has in the peninsula, without a full settlement of the indemnity awarded her for the surren-lr of this concession. It is too important « lever to let go of simply be- cause it may sult Russia's purpose to ask it. It 4s our understanding here that the evacuation is to depend upon the payment of the indemnity. Japan cerizinly regarded the matter in that light when the treaty was amendsd at the instance of the Eu- ropean powers. It may be claimed that the question is not any longer cne between China and Japan, but rather one between Japan and the European ‘countries inter- ested in the settlement, but this position is rot tenable. It is China to which Japan must look for the money she is to receive and it is Chinese territory that is involved in the controversy; and if it is a matter of keeping faith with the Europen powers, let them make good the indemnity if they do not want Japan to continue at Port Arthur.” Distrust Russia’s Position. The representatives kere of the mikado's government are evidently rot tmpressed with the belief that France and Germany are so much concerned over this settle- ment as has been represented. Diplomats generally also find it herd to realize that Rursia should be so much in earnest in Pressing Japan to the wall in these mat- ters as she is -epresented te be. They say that, having gained eyery advantage sought, Russia would naturally be expected row to press her ciaims in a way not to farther wound the feelirgs of the Japa- nese. “Russia,” said a member of the diplo- matic corps, “has succeeded in preventing Japan's getting any foothold whatever on the Asiatic continent, and it is evident from recent accounts that the European power is reaping the diplomatic harvest in Corea to which Japan fs entitled. It has always been Russia's policy to treat a conquered people so leniently as to soon Russianize them. Why she should not treat Japan as liberally and make the Pacific islands her actual, as she is her natural, ally passes my comprehension.” Japan Will Hold On. There is good reason for believing that the Japanese are taking every opportunity to impress upon the Russians the advan- tage to them of friendly co-operation be- tween the two countries in the Eastern Pacific. Whether this is to be done with a view of Japan continuing to hold Port Arthur, notwithstanding the existence of the treaty, is not so clear, but there are some who Interpret the Japanese tac- ties to mean this. It seems clear, at any rate, from all that can -be learned here, that Japan will hold on to thé footing she now occupies on Chinese soil until the in- demnity is paid or until ehe ‘is driven out by a more formidable display, than can be made in a diplomatic conference. ——_-e-—____ A SPLENDID OPPORTUNITY. % How the United States Can Extend Its Trade With Venerxtecla. United States Consul Pliimagher at Mara- caibo has made a report;to the State De- partment in regard to ithe political and commercial situation {if Venezuela, in which he points out in strong language the splendid opportunity now'bpen to the Unit- ed States to extend its tratie with Venezuela at the expense of other nations. He de- seribes the chance lost to the United States from 1690 to 1804, owing‘to the refusal of Venezuela to accept the reciprocity propo- sitions of the United States, but that since the duties were decreased he notes a slight improvement, the exports to New York in- creasing from $4,000,000 to $7,500,000. He attributes the depression in Venezuela to the financial and political troubles of that country, and says that if the present crisis passes the United States will have a great advantage, owing to the diplomatic compli- actions with Germany and Great Britain, our commercial rivals. “The, feeling against Great Britain,” h continues, “is now most intense throughou! Venezuela, Pamphlets and rewspapers a: being constantly published respecting Brit- ish aggressions, but as they do not circulate outside the country, the world at large is not acquainted with the state of feeling.” Mr.Plumacher says that on these accounts the United States is in much favor, es- pecially as Venezuela is now, as never be- fore, taking to the United States for coun- sel and guidance, ~ {FF POINTS TO DEFEAT on & Zorgas The Outlook for Senator Quay in Pennsylvania. WHO MAY REPLACE HIS LEADERSHIP of Triumvirate. Composition the Opposing WHERE THE PUBLIC ENTERS ——_+ From a Staff Corresperdent. PHILADELPHIA, August 1.—The proba- ,Bilities point strongly to the defeat of Sen- ator Quay in his contest against the com- bination. Mr. Quay’s friends insist that the game is not up yet; that he. has some aces in his sleeve which he will play at the last moment. That may be possible, inasmuch as it is Mr. Quay, but it is hardly probable, according to the opinion of con- servative politicians hereabouts. He may save himscif from total aud overwhelming defeat if a compromise can be reached, but his opponents are flushed with pros- pects of victory and at this stage hoot at offers of compromise. To a non-partisan observer who makes allowance for ex-parte statements and takes into consideration facts which neither side admit, there is a great deal in this fight which is honest and nearly as much that is “for revenue only.” In the atti- tude of some of the anti-Quay people there is an element of righteous wrath against the jron-hand domination of Mr. Quay and the autocracy “of Mr. Cameron. The younger element in politics, the men who have grown away from Mr. Quay, have felt the yoke of this pair and sorely chafed under it. Mr. Qnay's domination has extended over the entire state of Pennsylvania, making its power felt in the remotest corners of the great commonwealth. He has exacted a blind, unreasoning compliance with his will and word on every hand. to question his reasons, but to implicitly obey his commands. It is not strange, then, that there should be men in every community who would resent bending the knee to this sovereign power and long for an opportunity to throw off the yoke. But until the present time there has been no alternative for them. There was no man in sight who could fan into a blaze this smoldering opposition to the great politi- cal master. They could not cut loose from Quay with no one else to cling to. It was not until the trio of Messrs. Hastings, Martin and Magee formed the combination that the dissatisfied ones all over the state recognized the possibility of making a successful fight. The Triumvirate Welcomed. The presence of the combine and their announced Intention to fight were greeted with a great shout of approval by the rest- less ones. From every corner of the state sprang up men who until this time had hardly dared confess to themsclyes their opposition to Mr. Quay, but now, finding a ulwark of defense in the combination suf- cient to shelter them, raised their voices in mighty acclaim for the-overthrow of their erstwhile master. These are the men who compose the honest and sincere elements in this fight. They want to exchange the one-man power for a triumvirate, expressing their confi- dence in the latter for the present. Let no one delude himself, however, with the idea that the triumvirate is going into this fight with lofty and unsellish, motives and solely for the public good. This is no youthful David going out to meet the great political Goliath, with his trust in the Lord and a round pebble in his sling. This is a great financial, political and business com- bination, equipped with cunning and force and putting its trust In itself. When it has glain Goliath it proposes to dividé his sword, his helmet and accouterments. If the public Is benefited by his death it ts welcome to all the theoretical emoluments. The men who compose the combine against Mr. Quay are not in it for fun or the gratification arising from possessing power. They are in politics for business, and the time has arrived when their busi- ness requires that they shall depose Mr. Quay and assume his powers themselves. Governor Hastings differs from his two associates In that he has more political ambition to gratify than they. With him this is merely a political deal, whereby he may profit over another man’s downfall, a legitimate end in the game of politics, in which he and Mr. Quay are engeged. No reproach can be cast upon him, for it is a fair fight between the two. Mr. Quay made war upon him in defeating the 2ppo ment bill, warfare waged for Mr. Quay's personal benefit and that of his associate, Mr. Cameron. By Mr. Quay’s downfall, if it is accomplished, Governor Hastings will derive political profit, and the fact that he has joined hands with other forces to ac- complish this end is merely a detail of politics. Leadership to Be Substituted. Mr. Magee and Mr. Martin are tem- porarily posing ag the deliverers of an op- pressed ccmmunity frcm the hand of the taskmaster. When they have unyoked the people from Mr. Quey's chariot they will quickly hitch them up in their own log wa- gon. In defense of this they claim that the people will at least be serving a master in their own community, whose interests are local and identified with their own, always subject to their own control, and that they will rot be under ¢sli from a man in a distant part of the state or in Washington. It will be something in the nature of “home rule.”” There is no doubt that great business interests are identified with this new move in politics. Public improvements, street and suburban railway extension and large contracts for city and state work are con- cerned in the new deal. The extent to which the public will benefit remains to be proven. No one but a rank partisan of the opposition should have ‘the temerity to charge at this time that it is a corrupt combination. Quay and the Trolicy. Since it is well known that the troiley syndicates of both Philadelphia and Pitts- burg are fighting Mr. Quay I have en- deavored =o ascertain what effect it may have upon his pcsition in the Senate to- ward the efforts of the trolley to gain a foothold in Washington in the next Con- gress. The question was put to a conserva- tive politician of this city, who is not un- friendly to Mr. Quay and’ who knows him like a book. “I do not think Mr. Quay will fight the trolley people in Congress unless it is made an object to him. He would only make a great many more enemies in his own state and would have nothing to gain but a petty revenge which would not be compensative. He would never fight them for the sake of public opinion, for I have never known him to do a thing for that purpcse. He is indifferent unless it is to his interest in some way. If he should win in this fight he certainly would not fight them, but would try to strengthen his hand with their support. The Washington people need not look fcr any help from Mr. Quay against the trolley.” N. O. M. ————_ INSURGENT CHIEF KILLED.

Consul Anthony Howells, located at Car- No one was" diff, has furnished the State Department a report of the tin-plate trade of South Wales, in which he gives an interesting account of the recent increase in wages in that industry. Mr. Howells begins by saying that this trade is emerging from a crisis which had reached an acute stage on the Ist of, the month, when the notice to terminate contracts on the part of the men expired, and work was consequently suspended at nearly all of the mills. The demand made was for a restoration of the former wage scales, which was virtually conceded, resulting in the increase in wages of from 10 to 22% per cent. Commenting on the situation, Mr. Howells advances the idea that the fact that there was a general election in progress at the time the settlement was arranged did not affect the cause of the operatives adversely. His report indicates that the American situation with reference to tin-plate man- ufacture had considerable influence on both sides of the controversy. He says: ‘The lesson has evidently been taken deeply to heart that it was worse than useless to prevent American competition, and what- ever effect the restoration of the old list may have upon the demand for plates, it must necessarily produce an improvement of prices; and,” he adds, “in the interest of the immense number of operatives who have at times been brought.to the verge of starvation by the badness of trade late- ly, It is to be hoped that the list will, as of yore, remain in operation for many years.” He says that for months previous a great deal of anxiety had been manifested by both masters and men because of Ameri- can competition, to which the fall in prices and the consequent reduction of wages and the stoppage of a large number of mills were attributed. it is expected that all the operators will soon concede the “74” list, but Mr. Howells says: “It remains to be seen how long that will last ang how far success will attend the efforts regulate the price of the wage standard.” A table Is attached to the report showing the exports of tin plates and sheets from Great Britain to various countries for the first sixe months of 1895 as compared with 1893 and 1894, which shows a total of {2,- 087,292 for the present year, {2,012,456 for 1894 and £2,866,804 for 1893. ‘Of ‘this expor- sauon ere to the United States, iS against £1,229, for 1894 and £2,103,255 for 1893. meses —__e+______ Personal Mention.
