MILITARY CHANGES.
Several Army Officers who will Occupy
New Positions.

WASHINGTON, July II. Important
changes in the stations of officers of the
adjutant generals, quartermasters and
commissary departments will be necessi-
tated by the approaching retirement OF
Asst. Adit. Gen. Whipple and the acces-
sion Of new heads to the two last named
departments.
The changes in the adjutant generals
office are practically determined upon.
Col. Robert Williams will come to Wash
ington, and probably be succeeded by
Col. Chauncey McKeever, now the senior
officer Of the corps on duty at the war
department. 1t was originally the in
tention to leave Col. Williams in Chicago
until the retirement two years hence
OF Gen. Kelton, but the prolonged illness
of the latter and the prospects OF his abb
sence for some months yet, naturally sug-
gested the desirability of having Col. VIII
liams, who is next in rank to Gen. Kel-
ton, in charge of the adjutant generals
office during the absence OF his senior.
The vacancy made at New York by the
retirement of Col. Whipple will be filed
by Lieut.. Col. Ruggles, who is now at
San Francisco, the latter being succeeded
by Col. Greene, now adjutant general ol
the department of Missouri. There are
other changes in the department soon to
be made.
General Batchelder assumed charge Of
the quartermaster' department, but has
not had time to frame slate for the ac-
ton OF the secretary.
An exchange of stations between Col
Fl. Tompkins, now in New York, and
Col. Judson Bingham. now in Chicago, is
regarded as one Of the probabilities in
the coming deal, and some hint that the
colonel will probably be brought to Wash
ington in place of Lieut.. Col. Sawtelle.
Cen DuBarry is awaiting his confirma
ton before deciding what changes in sta
tions OF commissaries he will recommend

England and the Seal Question.

EnSiane ana the seal question.
New YORK, July ia special cable
to the United States says:
The comments of the American press
on the attitude of Great Britain in regard
to the Behring sea controversy, based APP
parently upon information contained in
the United press dispatches of July 5, are
exciting much interest in England.
Whatever may be said in Washington,
there is excellent authority in London for
stating that the British government did
determine, and formally, but courteously
notified the American government of its
determination, that the proceedings which
characterized the seal fishery season of
1889 would not be tolerated this year.
1t is true that no threats have
been made, but the significance of
the language used could not be misun-
derstood. England recognizes no
analogy between the Canadian claim to
exclusive fishing rights in Canadian
waters and the assertion of exclusive
title by America to Behring sea.
The selection of Rear Admiral Hol-
than to command the British squadron
in the North Pacific was made with a
view to the possible gravity of the situa-
ton, and his flag ship, the War Sprite, is
one OF the finest vessels in the navy. 1t
is now stated that the United States gov
ernments has practically yielded to Brit
ish representations, and that pending the
decision OF the Behring sea question there
will be no very serious enforcement Of
American claims, and that the Canadian
sealers which do not poach on recognized
American preserves will not be pounced
upon simply because they are within the
disputed limits. That will avert any
cause for interference by the fleet of Great
Britain.

The letter Of a committee OF Northern

half Of the preacher Joiner proceeds upon
the wrong methods usually adopted by

taken to obtain redress; thcv demand the

no guilty man has been pointed out.

Az EI.EcTRIFIED TREE.
Wilmington Excited Over the Ac.
tiOns Of an Aged Maple.

New YORK star
The residents OF the vicinity of Tenth
and Shipley streets are gitated over
the peculiar actions of an aged maple
| tree which stands on Tenth street. Small
boys approach this tree with mingled
feelings of awe and fear. The colored
people in the vicinity are thoroughly
alarmed, and look upon the staid old
maple with superstition. They declare
that the tree is "conjurcd," and they
warn all persons to keep away from it.
The first man who discovered that
this tree was acting strangely was Thos,
II. Crisson, q levcl.hcaded young butch.
cr, who holds forth in the Second street
market. One night last week as Girls.
son was walking out Tenth street he
chanccd to stop IN front OF the tree to en-.
gage in some conversation with friend.
While talking he leaned against the trunk,
aud was surprised to feel n tingling sen.
sation all through his back. lie became
alarmed, and thought he had received n
stroke ofparalysis. As he turned around
and glanced upward he saw numerous
bright lights iiickering all through the
nomcnon causes him to leave.

was the matter with the tree, and Kelly
investigated the matter, As he placed
his hands upon the tree he felt n sharp
sensation all through his body. He i'm.
mcdiatcly concluded that the tree was
very unpleasant ncighbor, and il was
Immediately noiscd through the neigh
borhood.
Deputy Coroner Burnbill visited the
tree last evening ior the purpose of hold
ing an inquest on its dead branches. AZ
he touched the body Of the tree his nand
was so shocked that he concluded tn,
tree was possessed by demon. Capt
L. l.. Rice, jr., of Troop u last evening
gave the tree n military investigation
aud he claims that il is charged with
electricity. City Solicitor Turner daily
passes the tree, but says he is not
alarmed and fears no evil from il.
Through the branches Of the tree aud
touching some Of them are fifteen in.
sulatcd electric light wires. The insu.
lators had probably become saturated
with water, and the tree being also wet
the electricity has been carried down the
tree by the water into the ground. As
soon as the tree dries the wood will be.
come u non.conductor again.
The current which passes down the
tree Is oi course not enough to injure d
person, as the current from the wires
themselves would not do that. The con
tinuous wet weather has saturated til,

THEY WILL MEET HERE.
ONE OF THF CONFERENCES
OF THE ". M. &. A.
Two Of the OhiciaI Heads Already
in the City-what They Have to
Say-The Progress Of the Work
Both North and south.

Messrs. c. X. Ober and John r. Mott
the two international college secretarie
of the Young Mems Christian Association
are in the city.
They are both young men, Mr., Obe
having graduated from Williams College
Mass, class of 1883, and Mr.. Mott from
Cornell University in 1883. Mr.. Obel
has just completed tour among tn,
principal colleges Of the South, and Mr.
Mott has been on a similar tour in New
England, the Middle States and the West
They meet here to make arrangements
and map out programs for the three in
ter-State conferences which will be held III
| April. One OF these conferences will be
held in Asheville and will consist of dele.
| gates from all tbs southern States, ore
at Chicago for all the Western States
tor the East.
These meetings will be attended by
picked men from some Of the colleges in
the different States, and are for the pur-
pose of training the men to do part OF the
work which now devolves upon the two
secretaries. Lectures will be delivered
and the delegates will have readings re-
Ierred to them from which to get clear
idea of the work. They are then expected
to devote part of the time during the
coming year to visiting the colleges in
their States and orgaizing branches of
the association. This will be great aid
in the work, for as it is now, it takes the
secretaries about three years to visit all
Of the colleges in their charge, and this
will render it possible for every college in
America to be visited at least once year.
The Ashevlle meeting will he held April
SO inclusive, aud there will be three ses-
sions a day, at morning, afternoon and
night. The sessions will be held in the
Y. NJ. c. A. rooms. 1t is also possible
that one public meeting will be held in
order that everyone who wishes may OBJ
tain better knowledge OF the character
of the work that is being carried on
among the colleges of the country.
There are 3U5 colleges in the United
States and Canada which have branches
of the Y. NJ. {. A., and between 500 and
l 900 which have none at ALL
The work is most encouraging among
the large colleges of the North, and great
of deal interest is manifested in the sum
mcr conferences OF college students which
are held at Northiield, Mass, every year.
Last summer there were i3O men in at
tendance, representing l26 colleges.
There were fourteen delegates from the
colleges of England and Great Britain,
who came over expressly for that pur-
pose. Next summer there will he three OF
these conferences: One at Northield,
one at Chautauqua, \. V, and one at
Lake Geneva, Wis.
There is IA great demand for such
meeting in the South, and it is very prob
able that one will be inauguratcd.
The secretaries have to travel about
10000 miles each per annuni. and it
takes $4,000 to bear their expenses, pay
their salaries, and provide a man for of. |
ice work in New York City.
