He was born August 27, 1874, at Eastport, Me. Lige Captain Tuttle, Chief Engineer H. C. Whitworth has an excellent war record. He was wounded while serving on the cunboat Commodore Jones when she was blown up by a torpedo, and three officers and twenty-seven men were kilied.

During the several years past that he has been cruising on the Bear he took many ex- cellent views of the northern country. As photographer for THE CALL he will furnish the general public with many views of great interest in connection with the ex- 0 other members of the engineers’ cond Assistant Engineers H. K. i John L Bryan, are also col- lege athletes, Spencer having been in the Cornell University baseball team and Brran on the football elevan of the Ken- v State Colleze. Both were commis- oned in 1896. Mr. Spencer was born in Milwaukee, Wis., February 23, 1868, After graduating from college in 1890 he was in charge of the electric street-railway plant at Iihica, N.

Call, the Bear's surgeon, is well known in San Francisco, but still better in the Aleutian Islands and the Arctic. He bus acted as surgeon for the Alaska Commercial Company for nine years, has been one year on the revenue cu ter Rush and has been to Point Barrow three times already on the Bear. No man knows the norihern country better than he. He is an enthusiastic sportsman and bas a num- ber of polar bears to his credit. Dr. Woodraffs, who was secured by THE CaLL to accompany the overland expeai- tion, was born in San Francisco on A pril 21, 1 and consequently is now in his thirtyseighth year. In 1884, when he was 25 years of age, he graduated from Har- vard University. Six years later, in 1590, he graduated from McGilt Medical Col- lege, receiving a diploma as doctor of medicine and mastery of surgery. Di- rectly afterward he went 10 Europe, where he gained much valuable experience in the hosplials of London and other large cities. Of late years he has been prac. ticing his profession on the Pacific Coast with success. First Lieutenant Davis H. Jarvis will lead the expedition over the ice and land, and it is doubtful if a man could be se- lected who is better able 1o make a success of the vndertaking. Mr. Jarvis has spent three years and eleven months in Alaskan waters, and a large part of that timeon the Bear. He is an excellent ice pilot, a first-class seaman and a man of sound judgment. Lieutenan: Jarvis was born on August 24,1862, in Somerset County, Md. He enterea the revenue-cutter ser- vice as cadet in 1881, was commissioned thira lientenant in 1883, second lieutenant in 1890 and first lieutenant on May 27, 1805.

Jarvis and Bertholf volunteered and were the only officers sent by the Treasury Department from the East. Of the several officers Captain Tuttle, Jarvis, Brown, Cochran, Berry and Whitworth are married men. A member of the land expedition who has had a greater and more varied experi- ence than all the others who may accom- pany him is F. Koltchoff. Two months ago he returned from a ten years’ experi- iercs in Alaska. He is a man about 45 vears of age, who bus set foot in every country excepting Siberia.

SEATTLE, Nov. 21.—This alternoon about 4 o'clock the revenue cutter Bear tied up at the Ariington dock. To-morrow she will take on coal and then provisions and otber stores will be placed in every available space on the vessel. Asshe goes on a cruise that wili consume about nine months provisions for the officers and crew as well as rat.ons for the 300 imprisoned whalers in the Arctic Ocean. To-day Captain Tuttle read in Tue CALL of Tuesday, wh ch was delayed in arriving by reason of fluods, the long letter of in- structions sent him by Secretary Gage. The letter has not yet arrived from Wash- ington, but THE CArL furnishes the inter- esting informa ton and orders that have been eargerly awaited by the commander of the relief expedition. In 2 letter received to-day by Captain Tuttle from H. Liebes & Co. the fact is set forth that there are a quantity of available stores at Point Hope. This company had during the past summer at its Point Hope station 160 barrels of flour, 6000 pounds of bread and a considerable number of cases of canned fruits, meats and vegetables, as well as other supplies. These will be of great value both to the relief party and the whalers should they get down from Point Barrow. The letter further stated that at Point Barrow there are barrels of flour and many other supplies. This ev-ning two more members of the regular sbip's surgeon, Dr. 8. J.

Secretary Long, However, Will Gp- pose the Establishment Because of Excessive Cost. NEW YORK. Nov. 21.—A Washington special to the Herald says: Pians for the proposed armor-plate plant have com~leted by the armor factory beard. They cail for an establishment of a most modern character, fitted with all appli- ances necessary for the manulacture of armor plate by the most advanced pro- cesses. The board is now engaged in pre- paring specifications for the plant, which will be completed the latter part of this | week. It is intended by Secretary Long to issue next week an advertisement for the plant, and when bids are received the whole matter will be submitted for the ac- tion of Congress. The plans call for the erection of ten modern bu‘ldings, cover- | ing about seventy acres of land, although, in view of the probable adoption in future of new methods of armor manufacture, it is intended to include 100 acres in the grounds, so that extensions can be made. One building will be occupied byzan open-nearth furnace, the board having determined to adopt this method in man- ufacturing steel for the armor. The plant will also be equippea with presses, rolling- mill, an establishmsat for casting steel ingots, laboratory, necessary tools and quarters for officers. The plant will be capable of turning out 6000 tons of armor a year. It ie not ex. pected at the department that bids will be received under $3 000,000, and some of the members of the board say that if the Gov- ernment secures the plant for less than $4.000.00) it will obtain a good bargain. As the Herald has stated, there is reason to believe that Secretary Long, in hjs annual report, will oppose the establishment of the plant, and will point out that the cost of armor would be excessive in cate the plant is built. —_—— URUGUAY UPRISING CHECKED.

HAVANA (via Key West, Kla.), Nov. 21.—La Lucha in a recently published ed- itorial expresses doubt as lo the sincerity of friendship for Spain professea by the American Government, and says: “If the American Government cannot prevent the sailing from the ports of the country of | expeditions in aid of the insurgents and | does not respond in other ways to Spain’s | efforts to come to favorable terms it is use- | less for Spain to maintain friendly reia- | tions with America.” Reports from Matanzas say that the Conservaiives having become enraged {at the change in the Government's | policy are disturbing the public order. | Ex-Mayor Crespo initiated the disorderly conduct by publicly giving offense to Senor Armas, the new civil Governor of | the province. The Chief of Police fol-| | lowed Senor Crespo’s lead by endeavoring | | to prevent aid being given to the suffering | reconcentrados by newspaper corre- ispomlenu and others. Of the reconcen- | trados in Matanzas, numbering more :Xhan 50,000, seventy-nine died in two days, thirty-seven perishing from hanger. | Yesterday seventeen deaths werc re- | ported, a large proportion of which were | the result of starvation, ln Jariuco about | 65 per cent of the deaths are caused by | starvation, and the same is true of many | other towns, Owing tothe lack of proper | clothing and o! blankets. the situation of the reconcentrados is becoming worse as the winter season approaches, despite the efforts made to relieve them. Horrible episodes are of daily occur- rence amonys the reconcentrados. After | lying for three days upon tne sidewalk in tront of a house in Matanzas a poor negro | woman, who was suffering terribly and was unable to move, was carrled away by a flood caused by a heavy downfall of | {razn.

GENERAL GRDWAY'S DEATH. Probably fiastumd_by the Sad and Recent Events in Connection With a Wayward Daughter. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.—General Albert Ordway died to-night at the Hoffman House. General Ordway and his wife re- turned from Europe last Wednesday. They engaged rooms at the Hoffman House. Next day the general was taken sick and he continued to grow weaker and weaker until 7:15 o’clock this evening, when he passed away.. Lhe general’s death was doubtless hastened by the sad and recent evenis in connection with his wayward daughtér, Bettina Girard. The latter, a complete wreck, was a day or two ago transferred to a private sanitarium from Bellevue Hospital owin: to the pleading of his wife, who had¢ become reconciled to her daughter. General Ord- way finally consented to the return of the prodigal, and a reunion of the famiiy in Washington was arranged. General Oraway’s death is attributed by the attending physician to jaundice and pleurisy, which Ueveloped from a cold contrac ed in Paris, HAWAIL. SHOULD NOT BE ANNBIED Pointed Reasons Why a Fresh Crime Is Not the Proper Thing. Correct Form of Republican Gov= ernment Cannot Be Set Up on the Islands. Spectal Dispatch to THE CALL NEW YORK, Nov. 21.—"The Hawaiian Disgrace’” 1s the caption of aleacing edi- torial in to-day's Times. *‘Two reasons, among many others, why we cannot de. cently annex Hawaii,” it says, “mu tim- press ayery reasonable and disinterested mind. “First—We cannot lawfully take ad- vantage of our own crime. We upset the rightfui Government of the islands and put a band:ul of revels in power. In vio- lation of principles of international law, of moral law and of our own traditions of strict neutrality we overthrow a friendly Government and set up another in its place. We committed a crime for which we bave refused to make atonement. Ha- waiian jobsters propose that we shall im« mediately proceed to take the profits of our lawless enterprise and blacken our record of guilt by a fresh crime. “Second—We cannot set upa republican form of government in the Hawaiian Islands. The Dole usurpers, with their whole train of supporters, partners, ac- complices and svmpathizers, constituie less than 5 per cent of the population. The other 95 per cent oppose annexation. “Slavery was abolished in the Uuited States in 1863. It is going to be re-estab- lished 1n 1897 or in 1898if Hawaiian specu- lators have their way. Everybody knows that it is no part of the jobsters’ plans to set up free institutions in Hawaiia. Dole’s gany of usurpers will rnle. Five per cent of the people will hold ths other 95 per cent in thralldom.” A Whnshington special says: Senator James K. Jones of Arkunsas expresses h's opinion of the Hawaiian annexation scheme as follows: “Iam opposed to it, first, because I am unalierably opposed to extending our territorial limits beyond this continent; second, vecause the Hawaiian Islands are so remote from our coast line. Their de- fense in the event of war would be enor- mously expensive and troublesome to vs; third, becaase they do not comprise suffi- clent area to make a State and their main- tenance as a Territory would violate the intent of the constitution; fourth, because it would be almost impossible for Con- gress to devise a government for them that would not resultin confusion and failure; fifth, because of the unfizand un- desirable character of the population. No matter how favorable surrounaings for improvement wight be made, a large per- centage of the population would remain unfit for eitizenship. These reasons seem to me to be self-evident and convincing,” VERY FflflmLY ILLUSTRATED. While Ministers Were Preaching Daring 7 hieves Made a Raid on the Korses Hitched Outside. OMAHA, Nov. 21,—This section is in a state of excitement to- For a week a spirited revival has been in progress at the local Methodist church. Rev. Horace Payoe of the Missouri Conference has been conducting the s3ries of meetings, and he has worked up such great interest that all the ministers of the county agreed to assist at the services last night. The big me:ting wus thoroughly advertised. The subject was to«be, as announced by Rev. Mr. Payne, ‘‘The sin of greed and the certain damnation of him who appro- priates that which 1s another’s.” The meeting-house is a large building situated 1n a grove near the edge of town. Beven preachers were present and the farmers from all over the county attended. They hitched many fine teams to the trees around the church. Tne ministers spoke eloquently, and, strangely enough, all of them adverfed to horse-siealing and the evil of horse- trading as practiced by many sharpers as among the worst evils of the West. They seemed to dwell at length on tuis phase of evil. After the meeting broke up it was adis- covered that an organized raid had been made on the fine horses hitched around the church. Sixteen of the most valuable horses in the county were stolen, together with two fice buggies. The raid was evi- dently arranged in advance and partici- pated in by several skillful horsethieves. No trace of the gang has been found, though a number of armed posses have been beating the ravines along the river to the north. The ground was frozen, and no trace ot the trail of the stolen stock was leit. An organized gang of horsethieves has operated in this Terri- tory for some time, and the work is at- tributed to them. —ped. Aliens From the Swamps.

On the subject of General Miles’ report the Secretary says: It is earnestly recommended that his recom- mendation concerning two edditional regi ments of artiliery be favorably considered. ys, without men to man them. These costly | works should as soon as completed be manned by a sufficient rorce 1o enre for and preserve them, and 10 become familiar with the hand- ling of guns, the manipulation of which re- quires experienced services, to be ready atail times to operate them. A visit to any of these | batteries must convince any practical mind of i the necessity of immediate action in this mat- ter. A batiery costing from $100,000 to $500.- 000 oughit noi to bo manned by a corporal’s guard. On the subject of Alaska, General Alger sa Within the past year, as isof course well known, the great Territory of Alsska has opened up a new problem. It fs probab e that within another yeAr a very large number of people may be gathered there, estimaled by the preferential wariff. It appears, however, that the British | authorities are sincerely anxicus to close | up the various irritating questions which | have long existed between Canada and the Unitcd States through the medium of | a commission or otherwise, and that no | idea is entertained that when the com-| mission dealt with the imperial subject of | the tariff it would involve any disturb- ances of the British-Canadian tariff rela- tions. There are said to be many articles, such as coal and fish, which are not exchanged | between Great Britan and Canada. On | such articles, therefore, any reciprocal ar- rangements between the United States and Canada would have no influence on British trade with Canada. The home Government is said to be fully conscious of the advantages which Canada may secure in the extensive American market lying alongside her and there is under- stood to be every desire to aid Canada in the enjoyment of reciprocal trade with this country. Already the British Embassador has been authoriz:d from London to begin negotiations for reciprocity treaties be- tween the United States and the British West Indian colonies. Tois is cited to show the favor which the London authorities exhibit toward se- curing the best reciprocal advantages for British colonies. It is said that the same view would prevail as to Canadian reci- procity. ln any event the work of a com- mission would be preliminary only, and it wouid remain for the British Govern- ment to give it effect by formal treaty. The subjects other than the tariff, such as oporder immigration, fishing in the Great Lakes, etc., are not of animperial character, and concern only the United States and Canada. In these, it is said, Great Britain has no interest whatever, exceptto see them settled on terms satis- factory to Canada. The lake fisheries have been a prolific source of trouble. It is claimed that the fish of the lakes, par- ticulariy wintefish, are being exterminated by the lax laws of some of the States bor- dering on the lakes. Tne destruction of the fish is said to be analogous to the de- struction of the sealsin the Bering Sca, and one of the subjects which Canada would urge before the commission would be the protection of the fisheries in the lakes. Professor d’Arcy Thompson, the British seal exvert, having concladed his labors, leit to-day for Toronto, intending to reach New York in time to take the Lucania for Liverpool later in the week. His trip to Canada is personal and Las no connection with pend'ng Bering Sea negotiations. Professor Thompson expressed himself as weli pieased with the recent meeting of experts and with the results arrived at. Bince the expert agreement was reached a protocol has been signed by Mr. Ham- Iin, chairman of the exvert meeting, and by the secretaries, Mr. Venning, in behalf of Canada, and Mr. Clark, in behalf of the United States. This protocol sets forth the conditions ander which ihe meeting was neid, with the minutes of the proceedings, and to some exient aids in the interpretation of the agreement by showing all the circum- stances leading up to it Sir Julian Pauncefore, the British Em- bassador, has been contined to his room for the last two weeks with a return of his old attack of rheumatism.

In the meantime such questions as reciproeity with the British West Indie-, the general arbitra- tion treaty, etc., haye been in abeyance, but are likely to come up for discussion with the autherities here as soon as Sir Julian is fully recovered.

On October 19 last the mutineers, assisted by 150 Mohammedan tribesmen, attacked the camp at Wasoga, In the fierce fighring that followed Lieu- tenant Fielding, Major Thurston, Engi- ncer Scott, Civil Officer Wilton and fitteen soldiers were killed. The wounded num- bered thirty, including Captain McPher- son and Chief Civil Officer Jackson. The mutineers were finally ejected after losing 100 killed and wounded. Major MeDonald has been joined by the ‘Wasoga native army, and it 1s hoped that he will be able to quell the mutiny aftera few weeks. A detachment ol troops from Mombaza will start immediately to re. enforce Major McDonald. Judge Nelxon’s Death. WORCESTER, Miss., Nov. 21.—Judge Thomas Leverett Nelson of the United States District Cour: for the district of Macssachusetts died to-day at his home in this ecity after a long illness. Hé was 60 years of age. many conservative men as high as 100,000, and I urgenily suggest that some adequate | measures be sdopted by which a military | force can be sent to that Territory, if ueed be, to ghard persons and property. in a remote country where thereare 1o laws and the ter- ritory very extensive there is great danger that there may be much lawlessness and need of nrestraining force, and I therefore hope large powers may be granted the executive to provide as far as possible for any emergency that may arise. On the 20th day of September Lieutenant- Colonel Raudall, of the Eighth Infantry, with two officers and twenty-five men, accompanied by & surgeon and three Bssistants, were sent Michael to estabiish a post, and for the purpose of guarding property and preserving the peace. The command arrived sufely on the 9th uitimo. A military reservation, with hendquarters on the sland of St. Michue', was creatad under orders of the 20th ult Tne | creating of further military reservations, in command of prudent officers, given some dis- cretion, may best solve the problem. A boat for trausportation and patrol on the Yukon and its tributaries will be essential, and authority is ssked to provide one. On_ account of the: terrible rigor of the weather, and also the inducements for deser- tion, I recommend that the pay of the enlisted men serving there be increased, with the hope that extra compensation will be an induce- | ment for a very high grade of men to enlist in that particular service. Recommending an increase in the rank and pay of certain army officers, the report continues: Irecommend the reyival of the grade of | lieutenant-general. All the great nations of the worid give their officers much higher rank than does the United States, and few, even or the smaller ones, have their commanding general bel ow the grade of lieutenant-general. It is found upon a full investigation that the military atiaches to the different embassies and foreign courts have much higher rank than those from the United States, which places us at & great disadvantage in, of coremony. Even smull countries send officers with the rank corresponding with that of licutenant-coionel, colonel and even briga. aier-general, and they take precedence in ail matters of ceremony.” The cost of living 1s greaty increased aiso at those stations. It seems to me 10 be unjust to our officers. I therefore recommend tnat the military at- | taches to the different embassies be given the rank and pay, while serving, of colonel, and that the attaches at legations be given the rank and pay of lientenani-colouel while serving, or at least the rink and pay of major. This higher rank is accorded to the Superin- tendent of the Military Academy at West | Poini. and also to the officer iu charge of pub- lic buildings and grounds in the District of Columbia. while the pay of the engincer com. missioner of the District of Columbia, who detailed from the Corpsof Engineers, 000) | creased to that of a commissioner (3 while serving as such. The commanaaut of cadets at West Point has the increased rank of lieutenant-colonel, and the principal as- sistant in the Ordnance Bureau of the War Department and the ordnauce storekeeper at Springfield Armory have the increased pay of major. 'The Military Academy at West Point can ac- commodate more students, and if provision is made for two additional regiments of artil- lery, as_recommended, the army can absorb more of its graduates. iThe superintendent recommends iegisiution (o authorizs the ap- poiutiment of two cadets at large from each State, to be nominated by Senators. This | would give ninety cadets more than at pres- ent. It is desirable that there shouid be no surplus greduates, and I recommend as an alternative that the President be authorized 1o appoint ten cadets at large each year. Tais woiid be an excess of thirty cadéts over the number now autnorizea. Under section 1315 of the Revised Statutes (he President had tnis power, but by the nct of June 11, 1878, it was provided “that cadels at iarge at the Military Academy shall not hereafier exceed ten in all.” The estimated amount iequired by the ‘War Department for the fiscil vear end- ing June 3, 1898, is $62 832,417 and for the fisc1l year endiux June 30, 1859, $96,. 258,445 80. ~ An increase in the appropria- tion ior army transpertation is necessary, NEW TO-DAY. rOS LEADING CASH GROCERS.
