THE ORDEAL IS OVER Mortons Have Made Their Effort for the Prize Cup. BRAVE AND BRILLIANT STRUGGLE Capt. Shilling Feels Confident He Rightly Interpreted Program. CAPTAIN BEAN’S PROTEST Apecial From a Staff Correspondent. SAN ANTONIO, Texas, July 23.—The Morton Cadets late yesterday afternoon made a brave and brilliant struggle to retain the military championship of the United States. Under the scorching rays of a withering midsummer Texas sun the Washington boys gave an exhibition that was absolutely beyond comparison with the drill itself of the other crack companies that have appeared in the competition. With but one or two errors the Mortons maneuvered in a manner that at once re- sulted in the withdrawal of all odds in the betting against the company at the turf exchange and set their rivals thinking. The exhibition was a reproduction of the famous drill of the National Fencibles, that has won many prizes, and was the acme of smoothness and polish, features that are noticeably lacking in the other companies here. The Mortons looked and drilled like wide-awake, alert soldicrs, and the spectators appreciated their work. The champions presented an attractive appearance, attired in black blouses and caps and white duck trousers. ‘They marched on the field, preceded by their chaperons and maids of honor in car- riages. with the stand of colors and stream- ers, signalizing prgyious victories, in the lead. Captain Shilling was handed the pro- gram fifteen minutes before the hour set for beginning the drill. In less than five minutes he had scanned the program, and then reported to the judges. Manual of Arms Executed Perfectly. In executing the manual of arms, with and without the numbers, the company was perfect. Their firings were a surprise. That has been the weak point of the team, but at every volley except one in the com- petition the thirty-seven rifles were dis- charged at the same instant. The excep- tion was superior to the firing of every other company that has drilled. In load- ing the left guide discovered that the cart- ridge would not fit his gun, and, after re- moving two shells with a ramrod, was directed by the judges to go through the motion of loading and firing without using cartridges. One man dropped:a bayonet, but there were no other mishaps of any consequence. The foot movements, both by company and platoons, in quick and double time, appeared to be ideally executed. The drill occupied thirty-one minutes, and the com- pany marched off the field amid loud cheer- ing. Lieut. Grote of the board of judges stat- ed to me last evening that no two captains have interpreted the program alike. The result of the drill, he added, would depend largety upon the interpretation. The drill of the Mortons differed in several in- stances from that of the other teams. “I executed every number of the pro- gram in order,” says Capt. Shilling, “and I am morally certain my interpretation was correct. I am thoroughly with the drill of the company.” The Mortons are confident that when it comes to interpreting the drill program, Capt. Shilling has no superior, and, there- fore, they are in merry mood today. Lies Between Mortons and Sealys. The consensus of opinion is that either the Mortons or Sealy Rifles will win first prize, with either the Thurston Ritles or Company D of Minnesota third. The Gov- ernor’s Guard of Austin drilled yesterday, and there are some who are betting large sums that Capt. Roberdeau’s men_ will walk off with the cup. In view of the mysterious character of the contest, such is certainly among the possibilities. Capt. Bean, the crafty commander of the St. Paul company, in keeping with his rec- ord, has come to the front with a protest against the Mortons. An hour before the champions took the field Capt. Bean filed with Gen. Oppenheimer a written accusa- tion that the commissioned officers of the Mortons had violated the rules governing the drill by witnessing the exhibitions cf the Thurstons and Sealys through the aid of a field glass. The paper was referred to Capt. Shilling who wrote the following indorsement: ‘lhe within allegations are utterly without foundation in fact.” The protest has not yet been acted upon. It is believed that Capt. Bean filed it when he did in an en- deavor to worry Capt. Shilling and thereby detract from the showing of the Mortons during their drill. It is not Capt. Bean and lis protest, but other matters that cause the Washington lads some uneasi- ness. The four cadets who succumbed to the heat at inspection were in excellent con- Gition for the drill. Ti is understood that bes judges considered the inspection excel- lent. satisfied Boys Go Sightseeing. After the drill Captain Shilling removed all restraints and most of his men visited the city today without delay. They are sightseeing today, and tomorrow mean to visit Fort Sam Houston and other points of interesi. The cadets are being royally entertained on all sides. The program today at Camp Culberson provides mainly for drills by maiden com- panies. ‘The Washington boys and the thousands of spectators were entertained yesterday by nine companies of regular infantry and cavalry executing a calisthenic Grill to music. The drill was but recently intro- duced in the army and is a most pleasing spectacle. Capt. Shilling yesterday formally turned over the Galveston cup to Gen. Mabry, to be awarded to the winner of the present competition. The Mortons are greater fa- vorites than ever with the regulars, who are backing the boys heavily for first place. It is probable that the Morton Cadets will depart from San Antonlo Sunday night, reaching Washington Wednesday evening. ‘The prospects of the cup returning to the national capital at that time are far from dim. cCF.C. een If you want anything, try an ad. in The Star.

Apropos of the trouble the Commission- ers are having in selecting a site for the new school house in East Washington, comes a timely suggestion from Mr. Thos. W. Smith. Mr. Smith was at the Commis- sicners’ office this morning, and made pwb- lic a plan which he believes will work to the great advantage of the city in the matter of procuring school sites in future. His idea fs to obtain a sufficient appro- priation to enable the Commissioners to buy these sites in advance. School sites, he said, should be bought away in advance of the needs of the District. In fact, it would be well. he sald, If the Commission- ers could purchase a ‘hundred of them now in the suburbe. These could be bought anywhere from $50 to $1,000 an acre, and while there may be no necessity to build upon them for twenty-five years, there will be a time when they will come in handy.

BERLIN, July 28.—The Hamburgische Correspondent says that a thousand birds belonging to various pigeon-flying societies were released July 13 at a place about 280 kilometers northwest of Heligoland. Eact pigeon had an aluminum ring on its leg inscribed with a number of a letter to indi- cate the year of its acquisition. “It is believed,” says the Hamburgische Correspondent, ‘that the pigeon found in the neighborhood of Scevde, in Rifylke, with a silver ring on one of its feet and its wirgs stamped with ‘North pole, 142 W., 47.62," was one of these.” Denied From Copenhagen. LONDON, July 23.—A dispatch from Co- penhagen says that the report of the cap- ture of a carrier pigeon in the vicinity of Tromsoe Island near the north point of Norway, stamped with the words and fig- ures “North pole passed 15,"’ Is not true. Andree’s Pigeons Were Marked. TROMSOE, Island of Tromsoe, July 23. Andree’s pigeons were marked under their wings ‘Andree’ and ‘‘Aftonbladet,” re- spectively. They were all numbered. ‘Thirty of his birds escaped while he was’ wintering here. Gen. Greely on Andree» ‘Trip. In reply to a telegraphic request General A. W. Greely, the arctic explorer, has sent the following signed statement from Lin- den, Va., regarding the Andree expedition: It is possible that Professor Andree may have reached the north pole or its vicinity. Telegraphic reports, as far as I have seen, state that he started with a south wind of twenty-two miles an hour. The chances of such a wind blowing six hundred miles straight to the north pole are, however, very small, as it would be an extraordinary meteorological phenomenon such as has never accompanied any storm. My opinions on Andree’s projected expedi- tion and his probable return were ex- pressed at tne sixth international geo- graphic congress in July, 1895, in London, where I debated the subject publicly with Professor Andree and also discussed the chances with him privately. He admitted the extreme hazard of the project, which I strongly outlined. I pointed out that, even should he reach the pole. he could hardly expect to find his south wind continuing across the pole for a thousand miles, as a north wind. I urged that his chances of attaining the North American coast were infinitely small, as the observations at Lady Franklin bay, Grinnell Land and Point Barrow, Alaska, showed that the winds were almost con- stantly from the south, while strong north winds were almost unknown. Andree re- plied: “Then I shall expect to land some- where on the Siberian coast.” He also ex- pressed again his determination to go, and his confidence of returning safely. Pro- fessor Ekholm, who accompanied Andree in his unsuccessful attempt of last sum- mer, declined to go this year on account of cne of the dangers that I urged upon An- dree—the permeability of the balloon,which allows gas to escape constantly, but which An€ree claimed to have overcome. While I believe that Andree will never return, yet experience teaches us that miraculous things occur daily. A. W. GREELY. ——————+o+____— Fees of the Consuls. It is sald at the State Department that considerable misapprehension exists as to the effect of the changes made in the con- suler regulations so far as they affect the fees collected by these officers. The re- vision will touch both the official and the unofficial fees, but it 1s said that in no case will the fees on invoices in Great Britain be retmposed, as has been alleged. The changes have been made by Mr. Chil- ton, chief of the consular bureau, and are in line with the reports he has made from time to time to the department while trav- eling in Europe, Mexico, Canada and other places. ———-2+__.

There was a largely attended meeting of the McKinley and Hobart Campaign Marching Club of East Washington at No. 236 New Jersey avenue southeast last even- ing, the object being to formulate plans in reference to the fall campaign in several states, and to ascertain the number of vot- ers In the club who would be called home to the elections. In the absence of the secretaries, W. B. Hill and Silas White, it was decided to take-up this subject at a future meeting, and President C. H. Strother stated he would call a meeting early, in August. Henry Dodson spoke at length on the perpetuation and unity of the club and the great work which it performed in the last campaign, and the work it could and would do in future campaigns. The president requested James W. Poe, who was present by invitation, to give his views as to the recent criticisms of the administration by colored men. Mr. P said he did not wish to speak on this su ject at this time. He sala the had carefully read the views of colored politicians and the colored press. They had a right to their own convictions, he said, Lut he believed that when the people, irrespective of color, voted to place the republican party in power on the 3d of November last. they meant that it should have a full and fair trial for four years from and after March 4, 1897. He said if it failed now, it would be the first time in its history. These senti- ments were loudly applauded. It was not the distribution of offices that would re- stcre prosperity. Legislation that will re- store confidence and stimulate capita! so as to open the labor field must do that. ea Se LAID TO REST. Funeral Services Over the Late Mrs. hristian Xander.

Eltrich of- ficlated, and the ceremony was witnessed only by the relatives and a very few of the intimate frienas of the family. ‘The remains were then taken to Prospect Hill cemetery for interment. The pallbearers were Messrs. John Waldmann, Samuel Sawtel, George Motts, Charles Heitiuller, Amandos Jorees and Martin Altschu. The floral tributes sent by sympathizing friends and relatives were magniticent and filled every available place in the parlor. One excep- tionally handsome piece, probably the most striking in the display, was sent by the employes of Mr. Xander. Mrs. Xander has been for the last tw years a sufferer with dropsy. About t Weeks ago she determined to go to Harper's Ferry, saying she was sure the air and surroundings there would benefit her. Her physicians advised her not to go, fearing that Geath might ensue at any time, but her will prevailed. Yor the first week at Harper's Ferry she showed great improve- ment, but toward the end of the second week began 4o fail rapidly. Her daughter, Mrs. Iseman, who was with her, telegraphed to Mr. Xander, and he arrived there in time to see his wife before the end came. The remains were conveyed to this city and have been for the past day at the late residence on 7th street. Mrs. Xander was born in Germany, and came to tkis country when five years old, settling in Baltimore, where she was reared. In 1864 she came to Washington, and in the year following married Mr. Christian Xander. She had a large circle of friends and acquaintances, but would never mingle in the social world, preferring to stay at home with her children. She leaves two children, Mr. Henry Xander, the well- known pianist and leader of the Saenger- bund, and Mrs. Iseman. LIEUTENANT CHARGE, Officer to Be Detailed for Night Duty at Headquarters. After a conference with. Major Moore Commissioner Wight has decided upon a change in police matters. Briefly, he has ordered that hereafter, there shall be sta- tioned at headquarters: each night a lieu- tenant of police, who, for the time being, shall be the representativesof the depart- ment. The object of this detail is to have on duty at all time @ ranking officer of the force. rt While it is true that Major Moore and Captain Austin are alway# on duty and have telephone conneétions with their homes, the detail will jn no wise interfere with them. There frequently arise ques- tions of routine, such as the amount of ball required in a case. The sergeant on duty, not being clothed with the’authority of a Neutenant, hesitates al passing upon the case, and rather than urb a Neutenant compels the offender to remain all night in a cell. With a lieutenant at headquar- ters and telephone connection with the su- rintendent of police and dill precincts, it es an easy matter to dispose of such cases.

[HELD AN AUTOPSY Studying the Cause of Young Spring- mann’s Death. BRAIN EFFECTS OF HYDROPHOBIA Dr. Glazebrook Objects to the Presence of Reporters. THE FUNERAL SERVICES i For the first time in the medical history of Washington an autopsy was performed today on the body of a person who had died with a genuine, well-developed case of hydrophobia. The subject was the body of Charles E. Springmann, the young boy who died Wednesday night as the result of the bite of a stray dog received some time ago, as reported in Wednesday's Star. and the medical profession of the city are much gratified at being able to point to an operation of this character. When it was first known that the at- tending physician, Dr. Millard F. Thomp- spn, wished to make an autopsy, both Mr. Frederick Springmann, the boy’s father, ard Mrs. Springmann strenuously objected, on the ground that they did not want the remains of their beloved boy disturbed in any way. After hours of argument Mrs. Springmann gave in when the plea was put forth that it was not only for science but for the benefit of other mothers who might have children afflicted with the same dread disease. Then it was that she succumbed to the inevitable, and Mr. Springmann fol- lowed her opinion. The autopsy was set for 11 o'clock this morning, but it was nearly 12 when the physicians who were to engage in it ar- rived. The operation was performed un- der the directions of Dr. Glazebrook, the acting coroner of the District, and he was assisted by Dr. Millard F. Thompson, the family physician of the Springmans; Dr. H. H. Barker, Dr. W.°C. Woodward, the health officer of the District; Dr. J. T. Winter and Prof. V. A. Norgaard of the Agricultural Department. The body of the boy was taken from the casket where it had reposed. and was placed on the operating tab} he top of the skull was then removed and the brain exposed. This was found to be highly con- gested, even in as far as an eighth of an inch. The medulla oblongata was then re- moved. This part of the brain is the seat of the dread disease, and will be subjected to tests, in order to find out the pecullar nature of the germs existing therein. It will be tested on various animals and in other ways, and the results will be made known through the health office. When the autopsy was concluded and the remains placed in the casket again not the slight- est evidence of the operation remained, so nicely had the operators done their work. The First Case. Dr. Thompson stated after the operation that within his recollection it was the only genuine case of hydrophobia that had of- fered the means to make an autopsy in the history of the cit: He stated, however, that as the autopsy had been done after the body had been embalmed the fluids used in the latter operation might act negatively on the results by counter- acting the effects of the poison that ex- isted in the body of the subject. He could not tell whether this was the case at this time, but it might turn out so fn the tests. Of course, no practical results could be ob- tained now, and nothing could be learned of the germs, their power or peculiarities, until after the proposed tests had been made. Dr. Thompson further stated that young Springmann developed the evidences of having what is called hydropneumaphobia, which means afraid of both wind and water, and that these were symptoms shown by young Springmann during the awful agory preceding his death. He was as much afraid of air as he was of water, and this is about the only case on record in which such symptoms have been devel- oped. He did not shew any of the primary stages of the diseases, but gave evidence immediately of well-developed symptoms. One thing to be commented upon during the course of the autopsy was the fact that the reporters were kept out of the room in which it was performed, Dr. Glaze- brook giving orders for their being shut out. This done, notwithstanding Mr. Springman: desire to have them admitted ard his strong argument to that effect. Mr. Srringmann insisted that, as he had given over the body for the cause of science, that the autopsy should receive sutticient notice to Insure its being heard of, but the doctors in charge did not see it that way, and the reporters had to go. Mr. Springmann has keen in receipt for several days past of a number of com- munications, all bearing upon the subject of hydrophobia, but they do not seem to contain any feasible means of stopping the progress of the disease, and if they had, as one of Mr. Springmann’s sons re- marked, “they all came tco late.” Funeral Services, The funeral was held almost immediately after the autopsy, at 2 o'clock. A large number of the friends and acquaintances of the family—and they are legion—were present. Father O'Brien of St. Peter's Church conducted the services, after which the remains were immediately conveyed to Congressional cemetery for interment,with- out stopping at St. Peter's Church, as was at first proposed. The pallbearers were chums of the deceased. They were Louls Diggins, James J. Grace, Arthur Specht, Richard Quinn, Le Roy Paine and Walter Robinson Of these, Le Roy Paine, Walter Robinson and Arthur Specht were with Springmann when he had the encounter with the dog. Le Roy Paine, it will be remem- bered, was also bitten, and he will go to- morrow to Baltimore for treatment. The parlor was completely filled with the floral offerings, which were exceptionally handsome, and which completely hid the newly made grave at Congressional ceme- tery from sight. Father O’Brien conducted the usual Cath- olic services at the house, and made some touching allusions to the life and character of the dead boy. >_— = “Want” ads. in The Star pay because they bring answers. ————— Bond Required. William Bailey and Herman Hailer were today each held in $500 bail by Judge Mills for the action of the grand jury, to answer the charge of breaking into the house of Harry A. Beck, No. 2133 H street rorth- west, in the day time and carrying off a quantity of clothing valued at $100. The accused admitted the charge, but Haller said that he thought Bailey, who is a brother-in-law of Beck, was taking away from the premises his own property. “This all comes from keeping bad company,” he remarked, when Judge Mills announced his decision. The Criswell Fire. Fire Marshal Drew made his report to- day on the fire at Dr. Criswell’s drug store, corner of 7th and T streets, yesterday, but gave no figures showing the amount of damage done. Drug store fires, the mar- shal says, are hard to estimate, and until Dr. Criswell has time to take stock the amount of damage will not be known. The firemen complain that in the passageway in the rear of the store stacks of books were piled. These books blocked the pas- sageway so well that come trouble was ex- perienced in getting to the fire with che hose. After the flames had been extin- guished ore of the firemen rescued a small black cat found swimming in the water in the cellar, and the poor little animal in- sisted upon returning to the damaged building. =~ —__>—_—_.

Two emergency calis were also wade. Taree of the patients were taken to Freedmen’s Hospital, two to Providence, and one each to the Washington Asylum, Emergency and Garfleld hospitals, respec- tively. Helmets fcr the new policemen who have gon on duty since the first of the month were received at headquarters from Phila- Gelphia today. The officers have been mezsured for their uniforms, which are to arrive soon. The action of the Commissioners in call- ing for a Hst of the policemen who are eligible for retirement has caused a stir among the older members of the force. Many of them, however, are not only will- ing. but anxious to be retired, while there are others unfit for duty who take a dif- ferent view. An officer jokingly remarked this morning that many of the older offi- cers who have been sick are getting well faster than ever before, and he predicted @ decrease in the work for the surgeons. Acting Coroner Glazebrook made an in- vestigation yesterday afternoon of the drowning of Jacob Buchanan, the colored boy who fell in the river near the Long bridge. He found that the boy's death Was purely the result of accident, and co cluded that an inquest was unnecessary. The body was turned over to the boy's mother. There was a slight fire in the house of Georgie Reed, No. 460 Armory street south- west, yesterday afternoon. Engine com- pany No. 4 was called to the house, and the flames were extinguished before much damage was done. The pumps at 2d and E stree:s southwest and 7th and B streets southeast, respective- ly, are out of repair. Several Gangerous holes in streets were complained of by the police today. Lieut. Heffner has called the attention of the superintendent of county roads to the condition of the Bladensburg road between the reform school and the Queen's Chapet road.

Tichenor, president of the board of general appraisers, and an ac- knowledged authority on tariff questions, has prepared a statement in regard to the sugar schedule of the tariff bill, showing that the differential under the bill is much less than under the present law. His state- ment, which gives the differential on all degrees of sugar from 87 to 100, compris- ing practically all imported sugars, is as follows: Differential to make 00 ibs feted Wilsoa ‘Prop'a tarif. tari. = #PHME. trier. cents. cents, cents. cents. 7643 170.25) 84.87 24.75 7834 171.90 94 > 23.01 80.16 173.58 n14 214d 81.88 175.04 42 19.96 $352 17638 «27.78 18 $5.06 177.58 262417. 86.50 178. 2480 16: S725 (179: 23.45 811 18041 B19. 90.28 181.09 21.02 90.02 181.63 21.28 89.68 182.46 22.62 $8.88 18235 22.42 : x 89. 182.50 2230 12.50 ‘These figures are based on St. Croix raw sugar, which represents about the average of raw sugars imported in the first four months of the gener yeer, and on Ger- man fine under Wilson tariff (40 per cent, ei red cents), $1.118; under proposed tar- Dutch refined sugar was valued at 2.60, and, therefore, the differential as against these refined sugars would be 5.2 cents higher per 100 pounds under the Wilson tariff than is stated above, and would be se same as stated under ‘the proposed tar- ift.
