Com- manger Haines and a party of officers of the battalion joined the Fern at Indian Head and accompanied her to Washington. She is tied up at the Lith street wharf and will remain there until permanent quarters are provided for her. A detachment of the naval militia will be permanently detailed for duty on the Fern, but this detail will be frequently changed in order to break in all the men of the battalion. Lieutenant Underwood of the navy, who brought the vessel from Norfolk, will re- main in command until the vessel is for- mally transferred to Commander Haines for the use of the District Naval Militia. S25 Former Deputy Sheriff in Trouble. Former Deputy Sheriff Charles Peyton of Montgomery count Maryland, was ar- raigned in Judge Kimball's court this morning, charged with carrying a revolver. “I'm guilty, your honor,” the man plead- ed, “but I would like to make a statement.” Policeman Sullivan appeared as complain- ant in the case and told of Peyton's visit to this city yesterday. “He had had trouble,” the officer said, “and was under the influence of liquor.” The policeman met Peyton near the canal, and during the course of a few minutes he had several conversations with him. Pe ton alleged that his wife had left, and ascribed his trouble to that circumstance. Peyton admitted that he was no longer an officer of Montgomery county, but went on to tell of an understanding he had had about assisting Sheriff Thompson. “Even If you were a deputy,” said Judge Kimball, “you would have no right to carry a pistol here. The law gives an officer from another jurisdict:on the right to carry weapon only en passing through in charge of prisoners ‘The penalty imposed was a fine of $50, or sixty days tn jail.

LONDON, October 17.—The distressing scenes witnerred at the offices here of the !Atiantic Transport Company when the news of the wreck of the steamer Mohegan first became krown to those who had friends o- relatives cn board were renewed t| this morning. There were many weeping women present, several with infants in | their arms, appealing for news of the miss- ‘irg. Most of them were the wives of mem- | bers of the crew. Some of them went away still hoping their husbands had escaped, but the majority gave way to despair. Terrifle weather has been prevailing on the coast of Great Britain. There have been several wrecks and rescues of crew. The lifeboat belonging to Cambois, North- umberland, was overturned while proceed- ing to the rescue of the crew of a French ketch. The lifeboat men, with the excep- {tion of offe man, who was drowned, were rescued by the rocket apparatus. A dispatch to the Star from Falmouth Says cruel robbery of the dead of the Mo- hegan has been perpetrated by unknown parties. An American, Dr. Fallows, ac- cording to the Star correspondent, tucked a bundle of notes in his breast when the Mohegan ‘struck. His body was subse- quently found, but the notes were missing. Several of them were put in circulation on Sunday and the police are investigating the matter. FALMOUTH, England, October 17.—Rel- atives and friends of victims of the Moh Ban disaster are arriving here by every train. They proceed to St. Keverine through the heavy rain and over sodden roads to identify the remains which are lying in the church of St. Keverine, where many heartrend:ng scenes have been wit nessed. > ef Fireng’s Loss. Sveretary Long this morning granted thi ty days’ leave of absenes, with permission to leave the United States, to Mr. J. P. Fireng, chief clerk of the naval pay office, New York. There is a most pathetic story behind this action. Last summer the wife and daughter of Mr. Fireng engaged pas- sage on the ill-fate? French steamer Bour- gogne, which was wrecked off Newfounc land, but just before her departure from New York fortunately corciuded to make the c-ean voyage by another line. After spending the summer in Europe they engaged passage for home on a Frene liner, but at the last moment changed their minds and took passag: on the Englisn steamer Mohegan, and were among the number who perished on the rocks of The Lizard Friday night, having thus been saved froin one disaster only to lose their lives in another. Mr. Fircng’s sad mission is to endeavor to recover the bodies of his wife and daugh- ter und bring them to the United States for interment. ———— UNDESIRABLE IMMIGRANTS. Admitted Are to Cana Whence They Come Here. Commissioner Powderly of the bureau of immigration has received 4 voluminous but important report on the diversion of un- desirable immigrants from the ports of the United States to Canada, from which coun- try the immigrants easily cross to the United States. The report was written by Robert Watchorn, ar immigrant inspector, detailed in June 1 to visit Europe to study this question, as well as to ascertain the truth of reports that the Italian gov- ernment has regularly employed officials stationed on steamboats sailing for th ccuntry to coach immigrants as to answ: to make to secure landing here. A repor has not been made on this statement. Watehorn finds that nearly every of the old world h stringent zws against immigration, the result being that this is the one country on earth left open for undesirable immigrants. ‘The congested and festering quarters of the old world” continue to send undesirable people te us, according to Mr. Watchorn. Bremen is the German port from which ome many of the immigrants to the United ates, The agents of the steamship com- panies coilect the immigrants from all parts of the cld world at Bremen and then se them to the United States. strict laws prevent any of these people re- maining in that country. These laws also require shipping companies to deposit 100,- 000 marks as a guarantee that they will return all immigrants rejected by foreign governments and taken back to German ports. For instance, immigrants rejected by the United States and taken back to Germany must be sent back to their native homes comr Mr. Watchorn states t European laws is to fost upon this coun- try undesirable people. England has just put into effect a law which requires min owners to pay for injuries to their employe: and to pay deaths ineurred in work in the mines. The tendency of this law is to furce the mine owners to employ young ; men, who will be less likely to Injury and death, consequently throwing out of work older men. These turn toward the United Stat Mr. country lav the trend of all r agents are, of course, on all that goes ‘on in this j country in the enforcement of the !mmigra- tion laws. As this enforcement grows more vigorous the immigrants are shipped to Canadian ports. This practice ts daily on the increase, and thousands of immigrants are coming into the United States through that country. It is thought that the industrial commis- sion will investigate these questions thor- oughly. Commissioner Powderly will prob- ably appear before the commission and give his v vs. He will also submit re- ports In his possession. os en McCORD’S CASE DECIDED. But It ix Not Known What the Ver- dict In. The decision of the arbitrator in the Mc- Cord case has been rendered, but its pur- port is not yet known to the State Depart- ment. The arbitrator was Sir Henry Strong. chief justice of Canada, and he telegraphed the State Department that he had rendered his decision Saturday and would supply detailed information by mall. McCord was an American ctvii engincer living in Peru, and during one of the revo- lutionary movements in that country about fifteen years ago he suffered imprisonment and the loss of considerable property in- terests. Various Secretaries of State have made efforts to secure compensation for McCord, but it remained for Secretary Olney to secure an undertaking on che part of Peru to submit the case for arbitration. McCord’s claim originally was for £200,000. Secretary Olney offered to accept $50,000 as settlement in full, but since that offer was made other expenses have accrued, so it may be that the final award will be fer a larger sum. ee GEN. COPPINGER HERE. Closing Up His Conuection With the Fourth Corps. Gen. J. J. Coppinger, who has been re- Neved of command of the 4th Army Corps at Huntsville, Ala., was at the War De- partment today, closing up his affairs as an officer of the army. A few weeks ago he was retired as a brigadier genera) of the regular army on account of age, and more recently he was honorably discharged as a major general of volunteers. He was suc- ceeded in command of the 4th Army Corps by Major General Wheeler. 0 4 ‘Transports at San Francisco. The War Department today received no- tice of the arrival of the transports Zea- landia and Pennsylvania at San Francisco. This makes seven transports at that place now, which are ample to carry all the troops.now destined for Manila. + e+ —____ Out of Commission. ‘The Niagara and Wampatuck, auxiliary vessels, have been placed out of commis- sion at the New York navy yard. WILL DEPEND ON GOYERNMENT. Gen. Sternberg Says That Red Cross Hospitals Are Not Necded Now. Surgeon General Sternberg has written a detter to Mr. Winthrop Cowdin of New York thankfully acknowledging wie receipt of 32,000 for the benefit of sick and wounded soldiers, and saying: “I do not think favorably.ef the estab- Ushment of a hospital in Cuba or Porto Rico by the Red Cross Society, fer the rea- son that the war is over ang: the garrisons which are to be stationed in these islands will require a fully equipped hospital, which it is the duty of the government to provide. and which we intend to provide. Dur- ing the rush incident to bringing large numbers of volunteer troops,igto the field, and during our active operat in Cuba and Porto Rico emergencies constantly arose in which there was a'failure to get necessary medical supplies aud proper light diet for the sick to the places where they were most urgently needed. Such emer- gencies arise under similar conditions, not- withstanding the intention of the govern- ment to provide everything necessary for the comfort of our sick and wounded sol- diers. = “{ appreciate very highly assistance which has been rendered by the Red Cross Society, but I think it would be demoralizing to our medical officers and to the service generally if we should continue to depend upon the contributions and vol- untary assistance of patriotic citizens for the care of our sick in the islands which have come into our possession.”* The surgeon general has also written the following letter to Mrs. A. E. Orr, vice chuirman of the Red Cross rélief committee: “I have received a copy of your letter to the President. In answer to your question as to ‘why the intervention of the Red Cross relief committee should be longer needed and why the government does not see to it that its own sick are provided for,’ I would say: “The emergencies of the war made the assistance of relief associations most val- uable, notwithstanding the fact that It is the intention of the government to provide liberally for the care of sick soldiers. But, as you know, with ample means and good intentions, supplies cannot always be pro- vided at the proper place and time to meet an emergency. Moreover, at the outset of the war the arrangements made for pro- viding light diet for the sick which had proved satisfactory in time of peace under the careful management of exp-rienced med- {cal officers were inadequate under the con- ditions which prevailed in our camps of in- struction and among troop: din ace tive operations. For tl ence of Red Cross agen dant supplies of ¢ ‘ been of inestimable value. But provision was made by a general order published Au- gust 10 (G. O., 116), by which surgeons in charge of hospitals, general, division or regimental, are enabled to draw sixty cents per d-y for each sick enlisted man of the army in lieu of his regular ration. Up to that time the commutation value of a ra- tion was only thirty cents. “The medical department does not sup- ply food for the sick Jn hospital. This is obtained from the commissary department or by purchase wherever it can be pro- cured. I inclose herewith a list. show- ing the articles which can be purchas- ed from the commissary, which lst, as you will see, includes’ canned soups, pioca, crackers, jellies, tea et Milk, chickens and eggs, fresh vege! eic., are purchased wherever th obtained.

Of _cottrs ary department fails ‘to nd they carmot Me purcha in the vicinity of a cam or Hospital the difficulty of providing proper food for the sick will be very great, and under such cir- curstances the supplies of relief associ tions have been most welcome.

Officers and Enlisted Men Who Dis- cuss the War. Secretary Alger, in speaking of the state- ments of Maj. § surgeon of the Ist Volunteer Engineers, said he would ‘ike it to he understood distinctly “that ary offi- cer or man tn the army may speak freely and unreservecly concerning his observa- tons of the war, without the slightest fear of possible consequences. “While T am Secretary of War no man Shall be the sufferer for speaking what he believes to be the truth. Above all, the witnesses who appear before the war in- Vestigating commission shall be protected to the fullest extent. The commission and the country want the facts, and no ob- stacle shall be placed in the way of getting them. We are all interested in having the clearest light thrown upon the conduct of the war, and the standing or promotion of no enlisted man or commissioned officer | shall be affected in the slightest way by any testimony cr other assistance he may give the commission. We mean to keep ab- solute faith with the commission and with the witnesses. I cannot be more explicit than that. ———_—__+. TO GO TO INDIANA. First Assistant Postmaster General to Participate in the Campaign. ‘The republicans in the west are looking anxiously toward Indiana. Here. it is be- lieved, they will have the hardest fight for success, and every available man of expe- rience is being urged to come at once and tend a helping hand. Mr. Perry S. Heath, the first assistant postmaster general, is recognized as one of the best politicians in the hoosier state, and Chairman Charles 8. Hernly of the republican state committee has written the following letter to Mr. Heath: “I hereby extend to you personally, and cn behalf of every member of this commit- tee, as well as the executive and advisory committee, a very cordial and pressing in- vitation to come to Indianapolis as soon as possible and help us out with this cam- paign. We must have the help of every man that we can get to carry this state. A great many of our republicans are very much disappointed that Mr. McKinley does pot spend more time in Indiana and that he spends so much time in Chitago. Mr. Heath stated today‘ to a reporter of The Star that it was trué that he had re- ceived an urgent invitatYon t6 go to In- diana and participate in the campaign, and that he would accept the fmvitation as soon as the pressing demands ‘of his office per- mitted it. sf + + Knights at a Banquet.

Simpson Resigns. ‘The resignation of Second Lieut. William 8.. Simpson, 10th United States Infantry, has been accepted by the resident. THE ECKINGTON ROAD. Iron Yokes for the Underground Sys- tem Have Arrived. A beginning has been made in the work which will result in equipping the City and the Suburban street railroad, formerly the Eckington, with a modern motive power. Gangs of men are engaged in lowering the water pipes along the line of the road, and today the first installment of the iron that will be used in putting in the under- ground electric system arrived in the city. This consisted of four carloads of iron yokes. As is well known to those who are familiar with the style of construction in making the roadbed for a street car line to be operated by the underground electric power, the tracks rest on iron supports called yokes, which span the trencn or conduit through which the wire passes from the power house along the entire route furnishing the electric current to the cars. , The managers of this enterprise are pl ed with the promptness with which this portion of the iron has been furnished, as only about two weeks ago the contract awarded. If the balance of the con- tract is filled with equal promptness there is no reason why the actual work of open- ing the streets, should not be begun in a@ short time. It is not the intention of the contractor, Mr. Saxton, to begin tais part of the work until a sufficient amount of iron has been delivered in this city to make it possible to push right ahead, and close up the openings in the streets as rapidly as the iron can be put in place. _—.

Major Sylvester, superintendent of po- lice, today received a letter from Franz Fritsche, an aged German living in Lincoln, Neb. asking for the aid of the police department of this city in finding his son Ludwig. The latter is in Wash- ington, it is said, and the father wants him to return home. The letter contained a small sum of money, which will be given to the absent son if he will apply for it. The old man states that the money sent was the last he had, and that he had been turned into the street, but that he wants to see Ludwig before he dies. —— Se Appeal for Street Improvement. The District Commissioners were called upcn today by a delegation of owners of property adjoining the Siigo Mills read, whe presented a p2tition for the improye- ment of that portion of the Sligo Mills read lying in the District of Columbia. The pe- ltioners stated that by the united efforts of the property owners and the county com- missioners of Prince Georg2’s county, a great improvement has been made on that portion of the road in the state of Mary- land from the District line to the old Stigo mill. by grading, widening and graveling, so that that part of the thoroughfare is now in a good condition und can be main- tainzd at smell annual expense. It is further stated that the District's por- tion of the road is in very bad condition and almost impassable in winter. “It is understod,” they say, “and behevyed that the District of Columbia jas not for the last ten years expended any money on th said road, and yet the abutting prop- erty has paid taxes annually. The length of the road is probably less than one-haif mile and a small amount expended thereon at the present time would give a good road from the Blair road cto Glen Sligo and b2 @ great accommodation to the property owners along the road and intersecting roads as well as to the citizens of Takoma Park and Chillum. —__>+—__ Prayer of Complainants Granted.

John Diggs, a young cclored man, who was found in the kitchen of Samuel Skin- ner’s house on the Bladensburg road about 4:30 o'clock yesterday morning, was given a severe beating by the occupant before he was finally handed over to the police. Mr. Skinner wes aroused by a young man in the house and told that there were burglars in the house. “Go back to bed,” was Mr. Skinner's vice, “and don't bother me. The noise was made by rats. “I heard two men down there,” the young man told him, “and I heard one of them say ‘Come on.” Mr. Skinner then went downstairs on an investigating tour, with his mother-in-law close behind him carrying a light. Two other young men in the hcuse came down, armed with shotguns, ani then the trouble commenced. Diggs was not so fortunate as his com- panion, who escaped. He ran up to the second floor, being unable to get out at the door, and when captured he showed fight. The result was that Mr. Skinrer pounded his head so severely that a doctor had to be summoned later on. It developed that one of the intruders in his effort to escape had torn down part ef the house with an ironing board. Jujge Kimball heard the case this afternoon «nd held Diggs in $1,000 security for the action of the grand jury, zo —_+——_ Blue and Gray Reunion.
