Alexander, on Stanton ave- nue, Hilisdale, about 6 o'clock yesterday. About fifteen minutes after his death Ser- Bauship guaranteed; over 30 Jears’ "practical | geant Anderson arrested William Carroll, Fe renee ae colored, elever. years old, and locked him up on a charge of being responsible for Parker’s death. He had struck the over the right eye with a stone. An autopsy performed today by Deputy Cororer Glazebrook upon the body of the Parker boy disclosed that his death was du> to diphtheria, and rot to the effects of the blow, as had been supposed. The boy under arrest admitted to the offi- cers that he had hit Parker with a stone, also admitting that the two had quarreled. He was vo frightened, however, that he was unable to give an intelligble account of their differences nor of the affray. The force of the blow was such as to knock the boy down, and those who saw him after- ward said he appeared to be dazed. The trouble occurred near the Birney School building, both boys being pupils there. It is ‘said that when Sergt. Anderson went to the Carroll home to arrest William Mrs. Carroll became greatly excited and threatened to commit suicide, but she afterward became mere calm and made no effort to earry out the threat. 'Ther2 had been troubie for several weeks between the two families, who live in ad- jo’ping houses, and on one occasion the mattcr got into the Police Court. ‘The coroner summoned a jury and com- menced his investigation at 3 o'clock this CAUGHT IN A TYPHOON. lad The Terrible Experience of a Britis Ship’s Crew in the dian Oc: Frem the Philadelphia Prees. Swinging snugly to her port anchor in the Delaware river, just above Kaighn’s point, rew lies the trim British ship Aigburth, Captain John Jones, which reached port yesterday from Java, after a terrific pas- Sage, having passed through a typhoon in the Indian ocean on December 7, which swept overboard into the sea Chief Officer Evan Richards and John Miller, an able-bodied seaman. The vessel's decks ‘were brushed fore and aft by the seas, the cargo was badly shifted, and during the thick of the storm the ship's lee rail was ten feet under the water, she having been knocked down on her beam ends. Captain Jones says that in a lifetime at sea he never passed through such a storm, and had it lasted much longer none would have been spared to tell the tale. “We sailed,” said he, “from Samarang November 11, and our run until December 7 was marked by no unusual occurrence.

THE SATURDAY STAR. Many Timely and Readable Articles in Tomorrow's Big Paper. The many ‘thousand-readers of The Even- ing Star will find a great deal to interest and entertain them in the big Saturday paper this week. Under the circumstances, of course, much attention will be paid to army and navy matters, but not to the exclusion of any of the regular literary features, which go to make the Saturday Star what it is—a welcome visitor in every home in Washington—full of good reading for every member of the family. All the departments of the paper, rang- ing from base ball and other out-door sports through to the latest fashions from Paris, will be up to the high standard The Star has set for itself and so consistently maintained. In the matter of fiction The Star’s read- ers are unusually well taken care of this week, for, in addition to the regular in- stallment of the sericl, ‘Ashes of Empire, there will be a capital short story entitled, “Needs Must When the Devil Drives,” from the pen of Morgan Robertson, This is one of Mr. Robertson's very best sea tales. It tells of a race and a fight between a pirate ship and one of her majesty's men-o'-war. It is all action, from beginning to end, and the air of the salt sea blows vigorously through every line. Noteworthy among the other features in tomorrow’s big paper may be mentioneg the following: RICH CONCESSIONS (illustrated). Frank Carpenter's latest letter describes some big business enterprises in Peru, which are being put through with American capital and American engi- neers. PARISIAN FASHIONS (illustrated).

Late Secretary to Spanish Legation Lectures in Toronto, A dispatch from Toronto yesterday says: Senor Du Bose, e first se ary of the } Spanish legation at Washington, lectured 2,000 peuple here tonight on the ‘causes of the present war. Senor Polo and many prominent men were present. The lecture was in uid of the Red Cross Soci and was delivered in a private ©: Sener Du a severe attack on the American people. He traced the hi tery of the trouble, reiterating the Span: arguments and spoke of American senators as “border ruffians, whose illiterate boor- ishness is only equaled by their venality and ludicrously pompous conceit.” He urged that American cupidity for ecnquest constituted a grave danger to Eu- rope, Canada and Mexico, and concluded by ent of Spain with whose counte- that is in their comparing the Queen R “the bloated politics: depict the lu: ——__--+ e+ —____ DIVIDING THE TROOPS. A Definite Scheme Will Be Announced in a Few Days. Now that the formation of the volun- teer army and the recruiting of the regu- lar army to its full war strength is fairly under way, the President and Secretary Alger are giving some attention to the question of their subdivision into corps, di- visions, brigades, etc. Several tentative plans already have been mapped out, but so far, it is said, none has been finally de- termined upon. The appointment of a number of major and brigadier generals, however, will hasten the completion of th work, and a definite. scheme of divis! will be announced in a few days. The law, for the formation of the volunteer army leaves it discretionary with the President as to whether three or imore regiments shall censtitute a brigade and also whether two or three divisions shall constitute a corps. Those questions determined upon finally, the assignment of the major and brigadier generals will be fixed readily. General Miles, commanding the army, favors the formation of seven corps in all—two in the regular army and five in the volunteer gimy. In other quarters it has been sug- gested that the volunteers be divided into three corps. A major general commands either a corps or a division, so that the ‘plan determined upon will provide for a sufficient number of these to give assign-s ments to the officers of the higher grades. The volunteer army act also makes pro- vision for a complete staff for the com- manders of- corps, divisions and brigades, who are to be appointed by the President and confirmed by the Senate. +e Discretionary With the President. It is the understanding at the War De- partment that the bill pending in Congress providing for the enlistment of over 10,000 “dmmunes” and a brigade of engineers will be modified so as to leave it discretionary with the President to recruit probably 15,- 000 raen made up of such special classes as he may deem best for the service. These classes, it is expected, will include ‘im- munes,” signal corps, cowboy companies and artillery and engineer regiments. This course is regarded at the War Depart- ment as better than that proposed in the bill, in that it will enable the President to provide for obtaining such troops as he may think best. Among those who have been prominent in urging upon the officials the formation of a brigade of engineer troops is Mr. Eu- gene Griffin, the vice president of the Gen- eral Electric Company. Mr. Griffin is a graduate of West Point, who served four- teen years in the corps of engineers, in- cluding service as aid-de-camp with Gen. W. 8. Hancock. He has tendered his ser: vices to the government in connection wi the present war. o American Warships Sighted.

Their Fair-Mindedne airessiens Care, Reliability and Integrity. From the Philadelphia Times. A very common error {s prevalent that the work of reporters, givemin ren pers, as a rule is not entitled to respect or cre- dence. It is generally assumed that the reporter writes chiefiy or wholly to make @ sensation or in some way interest read- ers without regard to facts,' whe just the reverse is the truth in all réputkble news- Paper establishments. iy, It is safe to assume that the statements of reporters given in the leading reputable journals of the country aré'quite as truth- ful ar are the general statements from the pulpit when the ministerGets! outside of strictly religious teachings, and very much more truthful than are ‘the public ex- of most if not all of the leading ns. With very few exceptions the maaagements of our leading daily newspa- pers enforce truthfulness and fairness as the supreme attributes for a newspaper writer, and yet it is common for all who are displeased with any reportorial state- ment to say that “it’s a mere newspaper story.” It is true that there are a few conspic- uous exceptions to the rule that governs the reputible newspapers of the country. nly are the managers of our lead- apers entitled to great credit rupulous care they enforce on the their reporters and correspondents to pre- sent the truth with as exact fairness as is Possible, but the public little know the ceaseless care that is exercised in every reputable newspaper office to prevent the Publication of even the truth when it would be more harmful to publish than to. sup- press it| There is it a week, indeed hard- ly a day, that the newspapers of this city do not suppress the facts proper for public information which would make a most in- teresting story solely because it would bring 2 tlood of sorrow to the innocent and _ helpless and cast an imperishable shadow upon their lives. With all the ly committed in a news- reason of the haste with which the articles must often be prepared, the public little know with what thorough integrity the newspapers, as a rule, pro- tect the innocent even at the cost of sup- pressing legitimate and interesting infor- mation.

The United States- Has- Considerable Interest in Istant’s’ Commerce. Consul Oscar F. Williams, our represen- ative at Manila until the recent war began, said to be aboard “the flagship Olympia Manila harbor, having accompanied Commodore Dewey from Hong Kong, so that advices may come from him to the State Department as well as from Commo- dore Dewey to the Navy Department. mail report from Consul i the State Department re of Manila February dese in ently under date a 28 last. It gives a full ription of the Philippine Islands, their resources, growth of American trade, etc. Local and European authorities estimate the area of the Philippine Islands at 150,000 square miles and their population at 15,000,- 000. Twenty-two consulates, representing the leading commercial countries of the world, are established at Manila. Mr. makes the surprising statement: ume of the export trade, coming under my official supervision, equals that of my twen- ty-one consular colleagues combined.” He then shows in detail how the trade c: the Philippines with the United States exceeds that of all other countries combined, and is growing at a remarkable rate. As indicat- ing the extent of this trade, he say: “To- gay ¥ pave eunentcatel invoices for ex- port to the United States amounting to $138,066." He says the exports to Sinis country average $1,000,000 a month. The report states that 216,000 bales of hemp Were exported during the last three months. Of these 138,792 went to the United states and 78,4) to Great Britain and other coun- tries. Mr. Williams shows from this that the United States has G4 per cent of the ex- port trade from the Philippines, as against 36 per cent for Great Britain and other countries, He says that last year the in- crease of shipments to the United States Was 133,000 bales and the decrease to Great Britain 22.000 bales. He adds: “Of in- creased shipments from the Philippines, those to the United States were 54 per cent greater than to all other countries com- bined.”” He also gives details of the large ship- ments of sugar, cigars, tobacco, woods, hides, shells, indigo and coffee. In the item of sugar, whfch is second in importance, the shipments to the United States were 55 per cent of the total to all points. In a previous report,-dated February 10, Mr. Wiltiams stated that Manila had just passed through a most devastating fire, the total loss being $2,500,000. He said the city would have been totally destroyed had it not been for the splendid service of an American fire engine brought from Seneca Falls, N. Y. In another report Mr. Williams gives the railroad and ocean steamship facilities of the Philippines. The main railroad from Ma- nila is first class, having Steel rails, stone culverts and English @h, s which make forty-five miles an hout.’’ here are four steamship lines to Hiong!Kong and a monthly line from Marifia to Liverpool. Besides these direct’reptrts from the United States consul, the Stlite Department also has a gazetteer™piblished at Hong Kong, which gives full account of condi- tions in the Philippine@.

Only by degrees are the marvelous qual- ities of our London atmosphere becoming known. No city in the world can boast such a peculiar aerial composition as that which the inhabitants of the metropolis have served to them daily and nightly, without money and without price-for neither the government, county council nor vestries have yet attempted to tax the highly nutritive air which we breathe. Most people think that our atmosphere con- sists of practically nothing. Quite a mis- take. It is both meat and drink.
