Among the thirty letters given to a reporter there were four with- out mistakes, They ranged from an ex- officer in the Italian army, who lived in Tampico, Mexico, and could neither speak nor write English and who had some one write for him, to a Swedish laborer in New Haven who signed himself thus: **Mr. petre nelson.” The best was from a man in New York. He wrote with many flourishes on fine blue-tinted paver. He said: Is it possible that in your vicinity there is not a gentleman sufficiently broad-minded 1o wed the young lady referred to in your ad- verti-ement?

MR, PETRE NELSON. A Frenchman in New York City who said, in not very good French, that he was ‘‘age de 27 ans, bien de figure,’’ and who asserted that he gave his true name and asked the person addressed to repose in the assurance of his utmost regard, threw himself, with all his grand preeding, as he said, at the feet of “‘La belle Indienne.” Coming nearer home there was a man in Spokane who used brown ink in co- pious allotments and wrote on the mar- gin when he bad exhausted tte four sheets. He knew something of the noble red race, but not enough to satisly him, 80 his letter was mainly questions. He addressed it to the “‘fare one.’” There was another from a faker in New York. It was from aman whose letter- head advised the public that he wasa “scientific astrologer, phrenologist and palmist.” One from an old fellow in Indiana, 60 years of age, desired if the party wished 1o become “an old man’s darling’’ the price of a ticket from Chicago to San Fran but for the greater part they were written in good faith by ignorant, simple-minded men, the kind who buy green goods, aad there is little doubt that they wrote in good faith above their own names. T/KE THE OATH OF OFFICE, Greece’s New Ministers Will Begin Operations With the Support of Public and Press. ATHENS, Grerce, Oct. 3.—The new Cabinet organized by M.

The train, the first section, nar- row gauge, from over Marshall Pass, was slowing down to take the siding at Coto- paxi. While running st ten miles an hour a journal on the rear trucks of the first day coach broke, The car piiched over on its side and dragged with it all the cars behind—another coach, two sleep- ers and the company's paycar. Three tourist-cars, the baggage-car and the en- gine, all ahead of tne first coach, re- mained on the track. The cars were all crowded with excursionists, bound to the Festival of Mountain and Plain at Den- ver. There was little excitement and not much wreckage, as the train was running very slowly. The railroad company fur- nishes the following list of casualties: The dead: Mzs. F. R. McIstyre, Silverton, Colo. * F. T.

She was badly crushed. Mr. Seyler was standing on the platform between the two coaches when the wreck occurred. He wi badly erushed, put was conscious to the last, and dictated several telegrams to his relatives. Of the injured, Mrs. Robinson alone is seriously hurt,and her death is feared. She is at the railroad hospital at Salida. The list of those hurt is complete, from her case to those who received only a scrateh. Immediately after the accident a relief train with surgeons was sent out from Salida, and all were promptly given atten- tion. Railroad officials have been over- whelmed with inquiries all day, and have freely given all the information at their disposal. Wreckage crews were sent out from Pueblo and the track was cleared at 5o'clock A. M. DEATH AND DEVASTATION. Farmhouses, Implements, Livestock and Human Beings Burned in a Prairie Fire. WINNIPEG, MaxitoBs, Oct. 3.—The prairie fire which raged all over the coun- try yesterday died out during the night. This morning’s sun dawned upon a terri- ble scene of death and devastaiion. Farmhouses, implements, crops and live- stock everywhere were consumed. Maay farmers lost their all. At Beausejour, forty miles east of this city, two women and five children named Moreski were burned to death. Fire came upon their home in the woods from two directions simultaneously and shut off all meansof escape. Only = few charred remains were found this morn- ing. There were many narrow escapes, and s number of families are homeless and utterly destitute, Bagot, seventy miles west, was practi- cally wiped out of existence. At Stony Mountain the fire ran up to the Canadian Pacific Railroad platform, where, by des- perate efforts, its progress was staved. At Oakland, on the Portage branch ot the Northern Pacific Railroad, several hundred cords of wood and thousands of tons of hay were licked u AT FACED OJEATH IN A GALE. The Crew of aTrsckul Schooner Clung to the Spars for Twenty- four Hours. ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Oct. 3.—The crew oi the schooner wrecked off Long- port last night were rescued to-day. The luckless craft was the Henry May, Cap- tain W. O. Perry, from Portland, Me., with a cargo of railroad ties, For over twenty-four hours the captain and his five men faced death, The story of their ex- perience was told by Captain Perry. The vessel ran into the violent north. east gale which raged along the coast Fri- day night. When off Barnegat she sprang a leak. All bands were calied to the pumps, but they were feeble against the incoming waters, Finally acrash sounded, and a moment later the ship swirled in a tremendous sea and capsized. She was sighted from shore, but the task of rescue was “hopeless, Several ineffectual at- tempts 1o start out the lifeboats were made.

Government Forces Preparing for a Battle Which Is Expected to Turn the Tide. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3.—The Her- ald’s Guatemala spec: says: The.Gov- ernment is still mobilizing its forces at Totonicapan and preparing to make an avtack on the rebels, who have taken pos- session of the heigits of Coxon, near Toto- nicapan, It is believed there will be a big battle there, which will mark the turning voint of the The rebels, safely placed in the bills, opened fire on the city of Totonicapan early on tbe morning or September 29, but their fire proved ineffective, uwing to the great distance. General Francisco Villela and his staff reached Totonicapan yesterday and joined the main body of the Government troops, which are under Commander-in- Chiet Mendezbal An official dispatch from Champerico bearing the date of September 29 says: At 12:30 P. 3. the enemy, humbering 300, attempted to cross the river Nauranjo at Vido Ancho, and after eight hours’ nard tighting were repulsea. The Government losses are unknown. Dictator Barrios has issued a decree granting amnesty to all rebels who lay down their arms within ten days. A band of fifty guerrillas, armed with rifle and 100 rounds of cartriages eacn, has been captured on a ranch near El Guata- lon. The guerrillas had pillaged several towns in the neighborhood, and will prob- #bly be severely dealt with. ‘Fhe wife of tne Dictator has made an appeal to the women of Guatemala for medicines and money to aid ill and wounded soldiers. A big meeting was beld here and there was a hearty response to her appeal, LOVED NOT DIPLUMATICALLY. French Ambassador Femoved From Washington Because ke Wedded an American. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 3.—A World special from Washingtonsays: M. Pate- notre, Embassador of France to the United States, has been appoirtel Em- bassador 10 Spain. M. Jules Cambon will succeed M. Patenotre. The diplomats of the State Department and the dipiomats accredited to foreign countries received this rather sudden an. nouncement the otherday with the polite composure that characterizes them. They are whispering, however, that his Government, through M. Hanotaux, the French Minister of Foreign Affairs, is punishing M. Patenotre by sending him to Madrid, and he is being punisied be- cause he fell in love with an American girl, Miss Elverson of Philadelphia, and was rash enough to marry her without asking his Government’s permission. Hereafter, say diplomats in confidence, an ambassador, minister, charge d’affaires or attacke who loses his heart to an Amer- | ican girl bad best propose with a proviso, MOTHER AaD SONS PERISH, Trying to Save Each Other’s Lives, lhey Are Burned to Death in Their House. SPRINGFIELD, Mass, Oct. 3.—A spe- cial to 1the Union from East Longmeadow says: Mrs. George Brownlee and her two sons—Thomas, aged 21, and James, aged 19—were burned to death in their home early this morning and the house de- stroyed. The family had all escaped. Mrs. Brownlee, losing her head, rushed back into the house, thinking her sons bad not come out. Thomas rushed after her to save her, and James after Thomas, The mother and elder son were overcome, while James got out, but was burned so severely that he died this afternoon. Mr. Brownlee himseit was badly burned on the hands and feet. s IS NO FUSION THERE. Reconciliation Between Voluntesrs of America and Salvation Army Impossible. NEW YORK, N. Y., Oct. 8.—The ban- ner of the Salvation Army is not going to wave over American Volunteers. On the contrary the flag of the Volunteers will shortly be unfurled to the breezes uf Eng- land. The report from Detroit, Mich., that the Volunteers and the Salvation Army are going to unite is denied. Holli- mend, private secretary of Baliington Booth, the commander of the Volunteers, said to-night: “I can authorize a complete denijal of any plan in prospect or aay affi.iation of the Army and the Volunteers. Those re- ports are circulated constantly and, we have reason to know, for no o:her purpose than to injure the Volunteers., The circa- lation of such reports became so persistent and was carried on with such ingenuity that Commander ana Mrs. Booth were obliged to take it up in the Gazette and show that it is impossible for the Volun- teers to afliliate with the Salvationists. Major Blackhurst has gone to England at the invitation of former Salvation Army officers to belp establish the Volunteers in England. That doesn’t look like sffilia- tion, does it?” At Army headquarters an officer said : *'General Booth is due from England the last of this month, and wuen he and his son are in the same country together reconciliation will foliow. The rank and file of the army firmly believe that now the general is coming to this country Bal- lington Booth will settle the differences between uimseli and his father.” Commander Ballington Booth is in San Francisco now “inspecting osts.” Booth- Tucker is alsoin San Francisco working for his mew labor colony. Mys. Balling- me at Mont- clair, N. J., said to-night that the story telegrapbed from Detroit of a possibie 1econciliation and amalgamation of the Volunteers of America with the arganiza- tion known as the Salvation Army is without foundation. Commander Bal- lington Booth and his following left the Salvation Army on an issue which involves principle and irreconcilabie differences of opinion concerning demogratic or auto- cratic government. e S Miners of Belgium May Strike.

On the 15th the mate was taken sick, and was landed on the 23d at Bocas del Toro, 7The disease was there called malaria, but there is no doubt it was yellow fever, On the vuyage norih Peterson was taken sick on the 27th, and aied October 1. The coffin was taken aboard the steamer Bishop aad the body piaced therein, to- gether with a quantity of siaked lime. 1t was then placed in an outer box and brought ashore and buried in the Govern- ment burying-ground by the crew of the Wilson. The steamer lett for Reedy Island at8 o'clock to-night. She will be thoroughly fumigated there and the crew placed in quarantine for scme time. The Govern- ment quarantine staiion is located at Reedy Island, which is about forty miies south of Philadelphia, and & spread of the plague is not aporehended. NEW ORLEANS, La, Oct. 3.—At 6 o’clock to-night there had been twenty- seven cases veported and but two deaths. In the past week the foci of infection bave not been largely increased. Dr. Metz re- ports that vy Tuesday all the houses in the St. Ciaude district, where the infec. tion was first introduced, will ba released from quarantine. The fever was confined to the single square in which it started. The authorities have also been successful in wiping out the foci of infection of Hos- Klim street and of the Home for Home!less en. G.

Has a Strong Bearing on the Nicaraguan Canal Proj=ct. Minister Calvo Corrects a State- ment and Quotes Grover Cleveland. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct, 3.—Benor Calvo, the Costa Rican Minister, to-day called attention to a publication regard- ing the rights of Costa Rica in the delta of the San Juan R ver, a matter which bas a strong bearing on the future of the Nicaraguan canal project. The published statement was as follows: General Alexander decides that ““the boun- dary between the two republics shall com- mence at the extremity of Punta de Castilla, at the mopth ot the river San Juan, and shali continue following the rixht bink—the Costa Rica bank—of said river unil a point is reached three miles from Castilioviejo.” He located this polnt, according to the treaty stipulations, at &' place tiat puts the San Jusn River and its delta wholly within the territory of Nicaragua. Nicaragua owns the River Summo Imperio as partof her do- main, and exercises over it all the rights of fovereignty and domain. Greytown, instead of being on Costa Rica soil, as was contended, is determined to be in Nicaragus. The whole claim of the Costa Ricans thus falls to the ground- In this connection Senor Calyo said: “This statement not being correct I deem it convenient to present the facts as they are with regard to the limits between Cosia Rica and Nicaragua. Thirteen years after this treaty was in existence and re- spected by the two countries a long con- tention followed, and sixteen years after- ward the subject was submitted to the decision of President Cleveland as arbi- trator, who, by his award of March 22 1888, aeclared the treaty .to be valid, as Costa Rica has claimed. Although the award was accepted by both parties and notwithstanding the friendly efforts of the Government of Costa Rica to have the boundary line marked by monuments, this work remained unfinished, not on account of any omission on the part of Costa Rica. *“The Government of Salvador offered last year its ‘fraternal meaiation,’ and through its good offices a convention was signed in order to establish the form in whnich the boundary line will be materially marked. *According to the provisions of this convention the two Governments request- ed the appointment by the President of the United States of an engineer to act as an arbi trator in any case of disagreement between the two respective surveying commissions of the two countries, and President Cleveland sppointed General P, Alexander of Georgetown, 8, C."’ Senor Calvo reviews the work of this commi m, and concludes: *In regard to the River San Juan and the canal pro- jected, I want to remind you that Costa Rica has always maintained the validity of the treaty of limits, and, as stated in President Cleveland’s awurd, the republic of Costa Rica can deny 1o the republic of Nicaragua the right of deviaung the waters of the River San Juan, in case such deviation will result in the aestruction or serious impairment of the navigation of the said river, eor any of its branches, at any point where Costa Rica is entitled to navizate the same, Finally, besides the natural rights of Costa Rica as defined in the same award, the republic of Nicaragua remains bound not to meke any granis for canal purposes across her territory without first asking the opinion of Costa Rica, as pro- vided in article VIII of the treaty of limits of the 15th of April, 1858. “The natural rightsof the republic of Costa Rica aliaded to in said stipulation are ihe rights which, in view of tne boundaries fixed by the said treaty of limits, she possesses in the soil thereby recognized_as belonging exclusively to her—the 1i:hts which she possessed in the harbors of San Juan del Norte and Salinas Bay, ete.” SUCCESS OF THE LINGLEY LAW. Its Operation Thus Far Is Extremely Gratifying to Treasury Depart- ment (fficials. WASHINGTON, D. C, Oct. 3.—The second month of the operaticn of the Dingley law proves extremely satisfactory to Treasury officials and to the friends generally of tue measure who have had an opportunity or occasion to examine the resnlts of its operations. The Treas- ury receipts in this second month of is existence (September) are greater than those of the second month of the Wilson law, despite the fact that the Wilson law found warehouses, docks and foreign ves- sels waiting to pour in enormous stocks of foreign goods to add to itsearnings the moment it should come inio operation, and that the Dingiey Jaw found condi- tions precisely reversed and the country already flooded with foreign importations. The receipts in September, 1897, the sec- ond month of the Dingley law, were $21 - 319,644, while those of October, 1894, tne sccond month of the Wilson bui, were only $19,139,240, “I think we have ample reason to be gratiied with the operation of the law thus far,” said Assiscant Secretary Howell of the Treasury Department. “The re- ceipts for September are gratifvingly large, in view of the conditions under which the act went into effect. As everv- body knows, the country was filled with foreign goods auring the few months prior to the enactment of the law, vet the September receipts exceeded $21,000,000, and the deficit for September is but a trifie over $3,000,000. Considering that the period which this covers is only a few weeks removed from the ciose of the long period of heavy anticipatory imports, 1 think that the showing is an extremely gratifying one. “I think that there is no question bat that by the end of the calendur year, con- ditions will be such as tobring the revenne of the Government up to its eXxpenditures and September’s developments certainly strengthen that belief in my mind, and I think fully justiiy it.” s TO0 JOIN THE CATHOLIC CHURCH.

Later Mrs. Sarah Titus Zabriskie of New York, who came here to obtain a divorce and made this her per- manent residence, took an interest in the crureh, largely throngh Mr. Buckey's efficlent work, and over a year ago the present very handsome church, a memo- 118l to Mrs. Zabriskie’s mother, was dedi- cated, the Rev. Dr. Rainsford preaching the dedicatory sermon. The church, com- vlete in every way, was paid for by Mrs. Zabriskie, whose interest In the parish and its work was increasing. Recently Mr. Buckey felt a change in his religions convictions, and despite all efforts to hold him here he lefi. determined, it was stated, to join the Catnolic church. There is a considerable romance connected with Mr. Buckey’s s:ay in this city and his church work, S GREATER N:W YGRK POLITICS. Henry George's Ship Came Very Near Being Wrecked Eefore Peace Was Fatched Up. NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct 3 —Henry George's ship came near being wrecked to- day. Jealou y between the two bodies which have nominated him for Mayor, tbe United Democracy and Democratic Alliance, almost caused the Iatter organi- zation to bolt its candidate, but Tom L. Johnson finally patched up peace between them. By its terms a committee of Mr. George's personal friends will have entire charge of the notification meeting in Cooper Union Tuesday night and will draft a platform and choose a campaizn committee under George’s sapervision. The Central Labor Union to-day refused to indorse Georgze for Mayor, on the tech- nical groundas that the union is obliged to keep out of politics. Many labor men are irritated becaunse George has repudiated the free-silver plank ¢f 1he Chicago platiorm. E ght Assemblymen and four State Senators are among tue organizers of a party of bolters from Temmany Hall, 1o be known as the Democratic Campaign Committee. They will indorse George for Mayor and name a full city ticket. Changes made 1n the Citizens’ Union slate, which will be hamed to-morrow, will give the President of the Council to John V. Kelley of Brooklyn probebly, and to William Travers Jerome may fall the nomination for District Attorney. Tammany men do not seem able 1o be- come reconciled to the nomination of Judge Van Wyck for Mayor. They were grumbling more loudly to-day than they were on Friday and Saturday. It was in- timated that the influence of the majority of the members of Tammany’s executive committee would be brought to bear on Richard Croker to induce him to force Van Wyck out of the race. Itseems clear that some action in this direction has already been taken. The situation as to General Tracy and the straight Republican nominees re- mains the same. It is strongly asserted that Tracy will not withdraw so long as Seth Low is in the field, and it seems iikely that Low will remain to the eénd. Under all the discords arouse! _in opposi- tion the prospect of a straight Republican ticket winning grows brighter daily. Ak I8WIN C.

Improvements to Navy—Yard Plants to Receive Special Attention. One Portion of the Report to Be' Devoted to the Proposed Patrol of the Yukon. WASHINGTON, D. C., Oct. 3.—Secre- tarv Long will commence next week the preparation of his first annual report. He bas received the reports of the several chiefs of bureaus of his depar:menflr.vlbe)' - having been submitted to him on Friday. Captain A. 8. Crowninshield, chief of-the Bureau of Navigation, is understood to have recommended an mcrease of the en- listed force and referred to the.l:\ck'o! commissioned line officers. Engineer-in- Chief Melville has aiso referred to the {ack of engineer officers, and Chief Naval Con- stractor Hichborne has pointed out the necessity of adding to his corps. Surgeon-General Tryon has sho“‘n‘than more medical officers are needed. That an increase of the personnel must be had isshown by the foregoing recommenda- tions. The Secretary appreciates thisiact, for he assurea TuE CALL correspondent that he understands that the number of officers now in the service is inadequate and that more ships must necessitate ad- ditional officers and men. 3 It is proposed by the Secretary to pa: particular attention in his forthcoming report to improvements to navy-yard plants. He will point out the necessity of additional docks, but will deprecate the establishment of any further structures of this kind on the Pacific Coast unless ad- ditional battle-ships should be author- ized. The Secretary will also recommend the construction of additional vessels, and, as he stated, tnis would mean more officers and men. What the Secretary will say upon the personnel question cannot beforeshad~ owed, but it is known that Assistant Sec- retary Roosevelt has submitted a long statement in regard to the Hollis proposi- tion, etc., which ihe Secretary will con- sider in connection with the rezcommenda- tions he will make on this point. Tne Secretary on Thursday discussed with Lieutenant G. M. Stoney the proposition submiited by that officer, which Assistant Becretary Roosevelt discussed in a long report, and as a result will, it is under- stood, devote a portion of his repost to the advisability of the purchase by the Govern- ment of a stern-wheeler to be manned by navy mei for patrolline the Yukon. A whale recently captured in Arctic watars was found to have imbedded in its side a harpoon b-longing to a whaling vessel that had been out of service nearly half a century. IT IS SAFE.
