Charges OF Decentralization on the
schooishIp Saratoga.
British Sailors Accuse a Mate of
Murderous Tendencies.
MccaIIa's Men Tell Stories of Life
on the Enterprise.

PHILADELPHIA, March 16.-The charges
of mismanagement and Generalization on
board the schoolship Saratoga are denied by
Harbor Master Lawrence. chairman of the
board Of directors, and Captain Green, the
commander Of the vessel
Fred c. Bruster, 16 years old, who spent
two months on board the schoolship, charged
that the boys chew tobacco and drink whis-
key. A majority of them are inveterate Gig
arctic smokers. while others, as young as Is
years of age, cannot get along without their
daily tiDple. A regular system of hazing all
newcomers is in vogue. He also asserted
that second lieutenant who can swear like
trooper, subordinate officers who get drunk
and fight, and many other evils exist under
Green's management of the ship.
John l.. Harris, who lives at GOT Fisher
street, was one of the quartermasters of the
Saratoga from the time she came to Phila-
delphia until February 10. He said tonight
that Bruster's charges we're true, and add
One was because was not satisfied with the
pay, and secondly because did not like the
way the discipline of the ship was con-
Quoted. The rules Of the ship were
all adlood right but but. they were not en- en-
tobacco. 1 reported them many times, but
finally got tired of doing so, as they were
not punished. The boys had liquor on
board and heard that they used to take
kettle and 60 ashore and get beer at night,
but never caught any Of them at 1t while |
was on watch. One Saturday night in
particular remember the boys were very
noisy and disorderly. Capt. Greene was
ashore, but came aboard late and could not
have helped hearing some of the noise.
Nothing, however, was ever said about it,"
Harris corroborated the statement of
Bruster that girls of had character had come
on board the Saratoga, but added that they
had been expelled as soon as their character
was discovered

SUCH AS WOULD DISGRACE SIBERIA
Are tho Scenes In the Res ervation
OF the Chippewa indians.
So Says Bishop snanIey who Is
Laboring In Their Belief.
He Declares That The Red Men
Have Been Grossly wroneed.

PHILADELPHIA, March 1G.-Rlght Rev,
John Stanley, d. D., bishop Of North
Dakota, occupied the pulpit Of the cathedral
here today and told pitiful story of the
privations and sufferlngs of the Chippewa
Indians occupying reservation in the ex-
treme northern part OF his diocese. His
object was to secure assistance for their re-
lief. He described most vividly the cOndl-
tion Of these Indians as witnessed by him
self during the recent cold weather, when
the thermometer marked 40 degrees below
zero. He charged the government with
having stolen eleven million acres of land
which this tribe possessed, when the Dakota
territory was divided between the Sioux and
Chippewa Indians. ELEVEN million acres
were stolen boldly, and not one cent paid in
return for it," said his grace, "and the
owners were sent TO the northern border Of
the state, the cOldest and bleakest spot In the
county, where two townships were organized
with 5000 acres Of land. This Is filed with
bad timber forests and lakes, swamps and
rocks. On these 5000 acres were put 1893
Indians, who are trying to make their living
These wards Of the United Stated are living
where 100 white men could scarcely raise
enough to keep them alive" His grace de-
scribed a personal visit to these townships
where he said, he witnessed scenes, that
would have disgraced Siberia. "The Indian
houses" he continued. "are log huts con-
structed by the Indians themselves, without
flooring, sheets and quilts covering the
windows and doorways. The creVices be-
tween the los are filled with mud that Is
cracked and falls out by the summer heat
and Is blown out by the northern winter
blasts The occupants may as we'll be Sleep
ing outside. In these huts il Is not un-
frequent TO find six families living. These
1913 Indians cannot make their own living
there. They have never been supplied with
proper agricultural implements and today
they are absolutely destitute

BUFFALO, March 16-The order TO show
cause why the National Trotting Association
and its president should not be punished for
contempt in an alleged violation of the in
junction order issued in the Alcryon- Nelson
suits, was argued before Judge Corlett at his
chambers Saturday morning. The plaintiffs
appeared by Attorney M. ]. Smiley Of Grand
Rapids, Mich, and Norris Morey of this city
and the defendants by ID. N. Lockwood and
William b. Hoyt During the proceedings.
an affidavit was read from George w. Archer

and a member of the Board of Review, " no
was one of the judges in the Alcryon-Nelson
$4,000 race. He affirmed that.on or about
October 4, 1889. after the said race, he met
Frank L. Noble at the Murray Hill Hotel in
plaintiffs in this action as the deponent un-
derstands. Noble had control and manage
ment Of the horse Alcryon during the season
of 1889 and at the said race. The deponent
stated to Noble that it was fortunate for him
that AcyoS5 Sdh1s threw his toe Weights in the
difference; and added that he had had the
horse shod few days before so no driver
could drive him to win the race. Noble
further stated that before the race began he
had agreed to let Nelson win the race and
had Nelson's check for $4,000 before the race
started; that he (Noble) won second money,
and had got $500 out of the race. The de-
ponent replied to him: Don't
you think you are taking pretty
desperate chances" Noble said: 81
don't know; what could you have
done about it If you had discovered the fraud
at the time?" The deponent replied that if
they had known of the frauds at the time the
judges would have declared the pools and
race off.
Mr.. Hoyt maintained that the whole object
of the action was to determine whether the
National Trotting Association had a right to
junction order simply restrained them from
making such investigations pending action.
The court gave the plaintiffs attorneys 20
days to submit brief, and the same period
to the defense to answer it, so decision will
hardly be handed down within a month.

Expert Flood Opinion.

NEW YORK, March 16.-The Mississippi
River Commission, whose headquarters are
in the Armory Building in this city. Is just
army officers in this department. The gravity
Of the situation has brought the commission
and its subordinates into direct communiea-
tion by wire, and the former are constantly
receiving dispatches informing them Of the
increase Of the danger.
Tie allotment Of $4,000. which was made
by the commission March IL for use in re-
pairing levees, has been distributed. One
half has been sent to Capt. Young, who is In
charge Of the Third District, which extends
from the Arkansas River to Vicksburg, and
the remaining S25,000 has been sent 60 Capt.
KingmaD, commanding tue Fourth Distr ct.
extending from Vicksburg to New Orleans.
The officer In charge Of the headquarters
informed reporter yesterday that tue com
mission regarded danger as most immediate
along the west bank Of the Mississippi from
the Arkansas to the Red River, the greatest
pressure being at present between the Ar
kansas River and the Louisiana State line
There Is certain, however, he believed, to be
additional damage to the levees north of the
Red River. The commission Is at present In
the unpleasant condition Of board with no
money to spend. The appropriation Of S400,.
in September 1888, has been expended, and
there are only few thousand dollars left
not more than $4,000 in all-for work which
has not yet been begun, which, in case the
emergency along the Mississippi grows more
urgent, may be drawn upon. The destruc-
tion of the levees by the present rise in the
river he believed to be, for the most part, of
the new work.
These levees, the reporters informant de-
clared, were composed of the alluvlal bottom
OF the river, and were very susceptible TO the
action of the water. SIT IS fair to presume"

admirably, but the new ones have not had
chance to secure the firm resistance which Is
so necessary when they are subjected TO
pressure of this sort. The new levees are

The principal of these are Mr.. Frye's ocean

Mr., w. P. Clyde of New York, largely in
teresed In steamship lines, made the prin-
cipal address. He said the American ship
ping interest was dead and that being the
case could not be revived by such measures
as had been proposed, 1t must be built up
anew. This could not be done, he said, by
voting subsidies. Calculated upon the pre-
sent basis in England and other countries,
the United States must begin where these
countries began The work would be long
and laborious. We cannot require that ships
aided by government payments shall be
manned by American seamen. Good sailors
are produced by long years of experience and
Congress will have to proceed slowly on that
line.

ham, seaman on the Enterprise, was the
first witness. He did not consider his treat
ment at the hands Of McCalla to be Just As
to the men concerned in the Cronstadt epi-
sode he thought their being ironed and
marched up and down the quarter deck a
just punishment.
John Glinn, a marine orderly, told of how
he was confined in irons for 10 days by Nc
Gala for going below when he was on post.
He had no fault to find with McCalla.
Louis Mayer. seaman, told story Of
how, when the ship was off the African
coast he refused to pass coal from one OF
the bunkers which had become ignited. Next
morning he was ordered TO the masthead.
McCalla approached witness and accused
him of smiling at him. He replied he was
not and the captain told him he lied. Then
sending for his sword and holding it in
front of witness McCalla said he had good
mind to kill him and make an example of
him for the ships company.
This concluded the case for today and ad-
