The whole scheme is baspd upon {he assumption that, in.ex- pectation of a declaration of hostilities, a strong hostile fleet, withiout torpedo boats, detefmines to make a sudden dash on the eastérn entrance of Long Island -sound to secure a naval base, In the éxpectation of findirig the land forces, in the absence of a declaration of war, in-a somewhat unpre- parelt eondition. ' The periods of the mansuvers are to be divided jnto two distinet phases—period of preparation and period of hostilities ing the first it, is decided there a day attack and, a night attack by the fleet, and if possible a bombardment and the enforcement of a passage. During this, mines ahd obstructions may be planted by the defense, and the conditions of war are t6 beé followed as closely as possible. Oni the part of the army the Information to b gained relates to the general effi- clency, down to the smallest detail, of all that appertalus to the construction ahd armament of the. Jand ‘defenses and the training of the forces manning them. The navy will conceérn ftsolt with the best means of obtalilng ranges, the effect of mines and obstructions, forming of attack, searchlights and the general control of ar- tillery fire. JIndges Time. Umipires of both services wilt be de- tailed to all forts and ships and will re- port to & board of arbitration of five offi- cers, wl Judgment will be final. In addition, a number of observers will act with each force as the representative of the other. The period of preparation will be from midnight August 290 to midnight August 81, the period of hostilities ex- tending from the latter hour to noon Sep. tember 6. The defense will consist of Forts Rod- man, Adams, Wetherill, Greble, Mansfield, Wright, Michle, Terry and the fort on Gardner's Poinj.' There will be no floating defenses. The attack will consist of about fifteen ships, of which five will rank as | battleships snd the rest as cruisérs and gunboats. The umpires and observers will assemble at the War college at Newport, August 27, to discuss the rules, and on August 20 will be distributed to their va- rious stations. The naval militia will em« bark at Newpert on August 30, to be dis- tributed to the ships. At the close of the mancuvers the attacking fieet will pass in review before the fofts. Elaborate rules are lafd down to estimate the value of the fire of guns of all caliber e to determine when any ship or fort #hall be considered to have been put out of actlon or silenced. All mines are to be fully connectod and furnished with dummy charges and fuses, the explosion of which will be supposed to entall the destruction of any vessel passing over a mine. No com- munication will be held with the shore by the fleet, except under m flag of truce and no bogts will be -I!owl!amdo the ships.

STATISTICS OF ILLITERACY Census Bureau Reports on Condition of Men of Voting Asm United States. WASHINGTON, Aug. 25.—The census of- fite today issued a prelimigary report on {lliteracy among men of voting age in city and country districtd In' the cemsus year 1900, The réport ineludes under the term “llliterate” those who can neither read nor write, and also a small number who can read, but cannot writ In the United Stat a whole, excluding Aldskd and Hawall, the ‘male population at least 21 years of age and lHving in tlties having at least 25,000 {nhabitants, was 5,- 885,644, of which 339,233 or 6 per cent were reported as illiterate. In'the rest of the country the number of men of votlhg age was- 16,248,666, of whom 1,949,247 or 1§ per cent were Teported {lliterate. These figures Indicate . that -illiteracy among adult males is less than half as prevalent in'the large citie as it 16 if the rest of the United §tates. #;e aifterence, the report says, is due Iargély to the fact that the urban population of the country is massed in the northern and western states, and {lliteracy is less frequent there than in other parts of the country. Hiteracy among ‘adits, the réports say, 1s found in the largé cltfes Tess frequéntly than elsewhere in all the states and terri- torles except New Hampshire, New York, Kansas and Oregon. The réport continuas: “As the difference between the farge cities and the rest of the country In the morthern states. is af- fected by the presence In these.clities of large numbers of {lliterate immigrants, so in the southern states t may, be affected by the presence of negro Ppopulatio; The report concludes as follows: “Among the native whites the differences between the population of large cities in the north matter of iliteracy wre‘compuratively slight, bift in the smaller clties and ‘rural districts “of 'the ‘south a considerable percentage of the-adulg-popula- tlon has not’ acluired the elefients of book education. “As & rule, a population living in large oities ‘s likely to include a smaller pro- portion of tlliteracy than a population scat- tered over a sparsely settled area and more diMcult. to reach by an effective system of public schools.” .

GENERAL GOBIN ACTS AS PEACEMAKER Talks with Both Sides and is Able to Make Suggestions for a Com. promise of the Long Struggle. HAZLETON, Pa, Aug. 9.—August Sheuch, aged 56 years, a special police- man in the service of the Lehigh Valley Coal company, was assaulted and stabbed on the outekirts of the city today while attempting to rescue his son, Willlam Sheuch, a nonunion workmdn, employed at the company's No. 40 colllery, from a mob of about 3,000 strikers, who had gathered from all parts of the Hazleton region on the roads leading from the mine, to frus- trate the plans of the company for a partial resumption of operations with a nonunion force of 250 hands. A majority of the nummloq men were taken to the workings in a special train, with which the strikers did not attempt to iInterfere. Willlam Shedch, who lives in this city, walked from his home toward the colliery and thus fell into the hands of the pickets. Most of the clothing was torn from his back in the struggle which followed. When Sheuch's father rushed to his ald the mob set upon the elder Sheuch, who was finally rescued by a mine foreman and removed to the miners' hos- »ital. Sheuch was stabbed In the breast and on each hip, kicked in the abdomen and struck on the head with a stone. His in- juries are not very serious. The knite which was sunk into his breast struck a rib and that fact probably saved his lite. The effort to prevent work at the mine was successful. The report of a resumption at the Ci berry colllery of A. Pardee & Co. caused about 500 men to gather near the mine today, but no attempt was made to start work. General Gobin a Peacemaker, EHQNANDOAH, Pa., Aug. 25.—Much im- portance is attached to the calls Gen- eral Gobin receives from coal mine opera- tors, who spend hours with the general In going over the strike situation. After having met a number of opera- tors, General Gobin d today that he does not see any signs of a settlement. In fact, he states that all indications point more definitely to a prolongation of the strike now than they did when he first reached here. He keeps In touch with the strikers as well as the operators and may be seen dally riding over the hills with members of his staff. Along the road he frequently holds con- versations with miners, all of whom dis- play a friendly feeling toward him per- sonally. There is no ill-teeling here against the soldiers, and the military has become €0 popular that a movement has been set afoot to start a company in this town. Individual operators are beginning to dis- P ance of a 55035 strike if a method could be shown them how they could make concessions to the men without stultifying themselves. - In speaking - with members of the brigade headquarters, some have wif past few days stated that if a way could be suggested whereby they could give in without placing themselves in a bad light they would favor a settlement. General Gobin is using his good offices toward a settlement, and he allows no op- portunity to pi ‘when in' conterence with operators to make a conservative plex Tor the men on strike.

TAMAQUA, Pa., Aug. 25,—Not since the inauguration of the anthracite coal miners’ strike have the United Mine Workers had 80 many pickets patrolling the Panther Creek valley as today. Every road and path leading to the col- lieries were engaged in an effort to per- suade the nonuniou men not to go to work. No new recrults were added to the worke ing force and quite a aumber were turned back. The extra vigilance was due to the rumor that it is the intention of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation company to cut coal as soon ae sufficient men can be se- cured. An official of the company admitted today that practical miners are hard to procure and that none of the coal companles are any of the mines for this Shooting. Blast Furnaces Will Not Close, SHARON, Pa., Aug. 25.—The strike sit. uation in this valley has been relleved to such an extent that it is not Ilkely that any of the blast furnaces here or at Sharpsville will be obliged to close down for several days. A prominent furnace operator said today that the trouble is not with the rail- roads, but with the coke manufacturers, who are sending their product to the east to relleve the shortage caused by the anthra- cite strike. Sufficient coke wa eived here yesterday to keep all the stacks In operation for eventy-two hours at least and the oper- ators are hopeful that berore the supply is exhausted the conditions will have changed for the better.
