Representative Bingham Thinks Re- publicans May Lose Two Districts, Representative Bingham of Pennsylvania said ay that it was possible the republi- caus might lose two districts in Pennsylva- nia and a district here and there in the south a where, but that he thought 1 hold the House. of the approaching session, he he thought there was more to do than reorganization of the army would have to be previded for, and he thought that an increase of the regular army to a hundred or a hundred and twenty-five thousand would have to be made with some degree of permanerce. He thougnt t at in the peace negotiations Spain would have to yield to any demands we made and that the and of .Luzon weuld be yielded by Spain. Representative Wanger's Views. Representative Wanger of Pennsylvania said to a Star reporter today that the political situation in Pennsylvania this yeat was greatly mixed, and that his own party (the republicans) were having a good deal of 2 row. ‘ “The anti-Quay people,” he said, “are trying all they know how to beat Mr. Quay, and the result fs some curious combina- tions in some wards and counties and dis- tricts where there has been fusion between democrats and anti-Quay republicans. The result of this will probably be that the re- pubHcan majority will not be quite as large as usual and the legislature may possibly be close. “The most material thing, however, is that it*puts, perhaps, three or four con- gressional districts now held by the re- publicans in some jeopardy. There are threa districts, which, while I do not think we will lose them, are put in danger, and will have to be fought hard for. I do not think there is any doubt about Mr. Stone's ection as governor, and I think Quay will hold the legislature.” eas AES DR. ROOKER AT THE WHITE HOUS: His Calis, He Says, Are Not Related to Spanish Matters. Dr. Rooker, secretary to the papal dele- gate, has made several cal's at the White House and the State Department recently, and this has led to conjecture that the calls related to the security of church prop- erty and the protection of ecclesiastics in the Spanish possessions recently coming under American contro!. The papal nuncio is repcrted to have expressed grave fears to the minister of foreign affairs, during an eudience yesterday, for the security of church property in Cuba and the Philip- pines, and the Vatican's desire was made known that the commissions at Havana and Paris make definite arrangements as to the future of this property. It is stated, however, at the delegation here, that the Vatican has given no in- structions thus far on the question of security to church property, and there has been no occasion for any negotiations. Dr. Rooker says not the slightest fear has b2en shown as to the adequacy of pro- tection given to persons and property, both in the church and out. There has been no step, therefore, to bring the matter before the American commission2rs at Havana or the peace commissioners at Paris, so far as the papal authorities here are advised. The calls at the White House and State Department ar2 said to have been of an unimportant personal character, entirely unrelated to Spanish affairs. —_——_—> QUEEN LOUISE'S DEATH.

Prominent Citizens of the Quaker City Visit the President. Participation of the Military and Naval Forces Requested—President Shows Much Interest in Event. The Philadelphia jubilee committee called on the President and the Secretaries of War and Navy today to request their co- operation in carrying out the program that has been adopted for the peace jubilee on the 26th and 27th of October. The President has already signified his irtention to participate in the celebration, and the object of the present visit of the ccmmittee was to make requests for the participation of troops and nayal vessels, together with the marines, who participat- ed in the Cuban campaign. The committee, which was headed by Mayor Warwick of Philadelphia, was ac- companied by Representatives Bingham, Adams, McAleer, Wanger, Butler and Young. ‘The members of the committee reached the White House shortly before 1 o'clock and were received by the President in the cabinet room, General Bingham introduced each mem- ber of the committee to the President, and then briefly stated the purpose of the Visit. Mayor Warwick's Remarks. Mayor Warwick stated more in detail What the plans were to make the jubilee one of the great events in the history of the country, and Mr. Henry Clay, chair- man of the naval and military committee, read the formal request addressed to the Secretary of War and Secretary of Navy for the participation of regular and volun- teer troops and branches of the navy, and asked the President to uso his good offices to secure as far as possible the participa- tion of the military and naval service in the celebration. The President listened attentively to what the spokesman and several m>mbers of the ccmmittee said as to the desires of the committee and as to the scope of the cele- bration. President Promises Participation, He evidenc2d great interest in the matter and said that he would be glad to do what- ever he could to aid in this great patriotic demonstration. He said that as to the par- ticipation of the army and navy, the ques- tion of what was practicable would have to be decided by th> department. He authorized the mayor to say to the Secretaries of War and Navy that it would gratify him if they would do whatev2r the circumstances and the interests of the service would edmit of to aid in the carry- ing out of the program presented by the committee. There might be difficultizs in the way of doing all that the committee wanted, but what could properly be done weuld be. Miles for Chief Marshal. After leaving the White House the Phil- adelphia peace jubilee delegation visited in turn the different executive departments and invited the heads to participate in the jubilee next month. Gen. Miles was in- vited to act as chief marshal. It is intend- ed to have about 20,000 troops and several warships take part in the celebration if possible, and Secretaries Alger and Long promised to do the best they could in that respect. Special invitations to attend have been sent to Gen. Shafter, Gen. Lee, Gen. Wheeler, Gen. Stone and other officers who have taken a prominent part in the war with Spain. SEEKING TON.

Three distinguished visitors in the per- sons of Prof. B. R. Freiherr von Herman and Prof. G. I. W. von Bredo attaches of the German embassy at Washington, and Dr. Rorig’ of Berlin, Germany, were at the Maryland agricultural experiment station today for the purpose of conferring with State Entomologist W. G. Johnson and to examine and inspect his scientific and entomological apparatus. Prof. Johnson spent considerable time in exhibiting and explaining to them all the details of his work, especially his experi- mental equipment in reference to the San Jose scale. They evinced great pleasure at what they saw and heard, and freely congratulated Maryland on the splendid work she was doing for the eradication of those great factors in nature which mili- tate against succ ful agriculture. The same gentlemen have arranged. to ompany Prof. Johnson next week to eral pgints in Maryland, where he will show them orchards infested with the San Jose scale, and explain the methods now in operation for its suppression and con- ; trol. He will also show them the fumiga- tion houses which are now controlled by the state, and in which all nursery stock is required to be fumigated by law before being shipped to any point. Prof. Rorig was recently made director of the great biological laboratory located in Berlin, which represents the entire em- pire, and has been detailed by the German government to come to this country and make investigations and study existing en- tomological conditions, and the methods being used for the suppression and con- trol of those insects and diseases and otuer agents which might possibly be imported into Germany. —_+—— TOURNEY AT GLEN SLIGO.

Senator Hanna was at the White Heuse with the President, Mr. Hay and Secretary Alger for an hour or two last evening, and called on the President again this ufter- noon, During the early morning there were many callers cn the Ohio senator at the Arlington, but he went out early, = many who wanted to see him we! pointed. To those whom he saw, who brought up the subject of politics, he spoke very confidertiy of the outlook from a re- publican point of view,.and expressed sat- sfaction with the situation of the admin- istration at the close of the war. It is nderstood that at the meeting at the White House last night the quesi‘on of the disposition of the Philippines was dis- cussed, and that the drift of the talk indi- cated a determination to have no joint gov- einment with the natives, but to maintain a military goverr-ment for the time being, just as in Sa itiego and as is intended tem- rerarily for the whole island of Cuba. , it is said that Mr. Hanna, as a politician, is much pleased with the way the Presi- cnt has managed the peace negotiations and with the policy adopted. It is understood that the criticisms made of the conduct of the war were discussed by Mr. Hanna and Secretary Alger, and that Mr. Hanna regards the situation as very satisfactory, considering it from the peint of view of the chairman of the na- tional committee. —_——__+ 0 +_____ TRIAL OF CHAPLAIN McINTYRE. Damaging Testimony Submitted at His Court-Martial Yesterday. The court-martial trial of Chaplain Jo- seph P. McIntyre of the battle ship Ore- gon was resumed at Denver, Col., yester- day. Charles H. Sage, a real estate agent, whe heard Mr. McIntyre's lecture on Au- gust 8, testified that the report of the lec- ture which appeared in the Rocky Moun- tain News, extracts from which are used in the specifications to support the charges against him, was substantlaliy correct. He said the chaplain spoke sneeringly of Cap- tain Evans a number of times as “Fighting Bob.” Harry S. Babcock of Denver testified that Chaplain McIntyre stated that when the Cristobal Colon surrendered the Amer- ican vessels, aside from the Oregon, were “hull down” behind, which, he explained, meant at least eight miles away, and that Admiral Sampson reported himself within four miles of the place at the time and would thus receive $10,000 of prize money. He verified the testimony of other wit- nesses in regard to the contemptuous ref- erence to Capiain Evans by the chaplain. S. W. Dewitt of Washington, assistant United States district attorney, testified that ~aaplain McIntyre said the New*York and other vessels were invisible to the east- ward when the Cristobal Colon surrender- ed, and yet Admiral Sampson reported himself within the four-mile limit and would receive a part of the prize money. He also testified that the chaplain said: “Fighting Bob,’ with the Iowa, was run- ning away from the fight when the Oregon Was going into it.” He told of other allu- sions made to Captain Evans as “Fighting Bob,” and he said the speaker's manner was not “agreeable” when making such al- lusions. He testified that the chaplain said eastern shipbuilders had “pul with the government, and many “jobs” were no- ticeable in the construction of the eastern- built vessels, while the Oregon was honest- ly built. KITCHENER MAY RETIRE, Reported That the Sirdar Will End His Egyptian Service. LONDON, September 29.—The Cairo cor- respondent of the Daily Telegraph says: “It is stated on good authority that Gen- sal Hitehener intends to retire from the Egyptian service. 2 “He regards his work as completed and will return to-England at the middie of October.

The Consul at Kingston Back on Leave. Mr. Louis A. Dent, who is United States ecnsul at Kingston, Jamaica, has returned to his home in this city at No. 1516 9th street Northwest, upon a two months’ fur- lough. Mr. Dent is enjoying good health, and his visit is purely for pleasure and to see his family, who returned to America last June. He reached here last Wedn>sday, and has beer busy ever since receiving his friends and renewing valued acquaintances. He has called on the President, and also paid his respects at the State Department. Mr. Dent was not at his home when a Star reporter called there, but his mo- ther-in-law, Mrs. Yost, was seen. She said that Mr. Dent expects to spend all of his vacation in Washington, and that when he returns#to Jamaica the family will re- main here, as his wife's health is not good on the island. Mrs. Yost said that Mr. Dent had exper- ered many adventures on the island dur- ing the war with Spain. His post of duty Was but a short distance from bh: scene of hostilities, and he rendered most im- pertant secret service to his governmeni. She was unwilling, however, to enter into the detaiis, preferring that Mr. Dent should determine what information should be given out. Mr. Dert was private secretary to Sec- retary of State Blain>, and it was owing to the latter’s influence that he was ap- pointed consul to Jamaica. He was reap- pointed by President McKinley.

MARKET GENERAL REPORT Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, September 20.—The new : count in London opened auspiciously, and prices for Americans were generally higher, Business at the opening was limited, but the tone of speculation had improved. Con- tinent continued to buy Union Pactfic—the preferred stock being up % in that market. Consols, money, 109 13-16; account, 100%, an advance of 1-16 Bank of England rate of discount remains unchanged at 3 per cent. The New York market was subject to many sharp and, in some instances, violent fluctuations in the first half hour. The de- moralization in Tobacco continued ty a! the general list unfavorabl : position to rally on covering of sh¢ which was encouraged by the steadin London qvotations. Sugar showed firm- ness, and People’s Gas was marked up on the shorts. Rubber opened up 1%-8, but lost nearly all the gain, Marhattan was raided down over a point. Tobacco fuc- tuated wildly over an extreme range of per cent, and then settled around to 26. be undertone of the railway steady. In government bonds the reduced % per cent. After the market had settled somewanat the real feature of the situation was seon to be London's buying of the Pa: and also good Jocal buying of su man Bros. taking 5) shares of t There was talk, too, of a very lington statement for the mo: gust, which helped to strengthen the eral market At 11 o'clock the market was strong list as was w and there was some covering in Burlington and sugar. The former stock reported a sut- plus increase of 6 for August over the same period last year, the earnings at that time being about the largest in the history of the company for that mont! At noon the bears made a drive against Manhattan, the weakness in that specialty under the attack causing the general list to react a@ little. Money loaned at 34 per cert. In the late afternoon market the general list displayed a much better tone, while money was offered and loaning at 2% per cent. Some people in the street, who watch things closely, think the market is on t turn for the better. The action of tobac and the strength of sugar today has given them this impression, but the more sub- stantial considerations that they claim will eventually prevail are easier money, rising price of wheat and indications that demo- crats are likely to drop silver issue to an extent in the campaign. The Burlington statement is much better than expectod, and has caused covering in the grangers. It is thought that Northern Pacific and Union Pacific stocks will make a good showing in any improvement in the general market. London marke: for Americans steady, with special strength in St There 1 buying locally New rsols closed a shade psed Paul for bo sunte anish 4's closed %% off from 2 o'clock. After the close in Lond Americans rallied on the curb on New York support and closed at best prices of th day.
