Chaplain Hunter, of the Tenth Regiment,
got a SQUAD detailed by the Colonel to play
+! a game of ball, they did their work we'll,
and defeated the Fifteenth Regiment by a
score of to4. 1t is the chief duty of the
chaplain when in camp to see that a certain
number of the boys are kept playing ball
all the time, and he always does his duty.
Chaplain Huter's team got through this en-
campment without defeat, and now the
other chaplains have to wear stills when
they want to speak to him. However, he
is expected to revert to the common level

campment one year hence.

panv L: Fourteenth, Captain Day, Company
f; Fifth, Captain Leggate, Company II.
Everything passed off smoothly and there
was no disturbance of any kind to mar the
closing day of the camp. The soldiers did
their work in the lines, when
they had no excuse to fall out
on, and very few Of them had, then
turned in to enjoy themselves in royal
style. Camp only comes once year and 1t
is a good many months until the next one
The 7'Senecas and Piutes" assembled in full

and where at the beginning they may be q
little ragged, they are now prepared to do
the most difficult of the maneuvers 1t re-
quires great amount of work to keep
regiment in trim and the commander Of
regiment has no easy task. 1t also requires
. great amount of watching on the part Of
the captains to keep their companies in good
condition. A new scheme for hunks has
appeared on the field and every Captain ina
the brigade declares he will adopt it for his
men. Nine of the hunks put together be-

they can be fixed up with but little trouble
Each chest also furnishes two good mess
tables, and thus company can be supplied
with two great necessities with but little
trouble.
ALL IN LOVE WITH THE GENERAL.
Every soldier in camp has good word'
for Adiutant General McCleIland. From
the privates to the colonels he has become
the idol of the soldier heart. His uniform
kindness and anxiety for the welfare of all
has made him favorite. During the whole
week General McClelland has visited differ
ent parts of the camp daily and nightly to
see how the boys are cared for and to see
that all had comfortable qnarters. On all
hands yesterday the men were discussing
the interest General McClel1and was taking
in the camp.
'Hes bound to make good record, %
said a private. 81 am in the company that
was on duty so long in the coke region, and
ever since first saw General McCfelIand I
liked his style. All the boys are the same.
: He don't treat us any better than anybody
else, but he treats US just as good. There,
isn't man in camp but would fight for him
if it was necessary"
The rain of last night will prevent strik-
ing the tents this morning, and they will
have to be left until they dry. Lieutenant
Colonel O'Neill will remain in charge and
will have detailed for duty about dozen
men from each regiment. They will re-
main until the tents are dry enough to be
packed for shipment, if it requires week.
However, heI hopes to get away very soon,
as the poetry is all gone out of camp life
after the officers leave.
COMING EVENTS IN MILITARY CIRCLES. -,
The next big event will be the shoot at
Mt. Gretna. Lieutenant Critchfeld, In
spector of Rifle Practice of the Tenth Regi-
ment, announced yesterday that his sharp
shooters would be marsha1led on Company
HIS range at Washington on the oath. of
August for three days shooting. From
there they will go to the Delamater match
at Saltzburg on the 2Sth and 29th On the
31st they will leave for Mt. Gretna for the
State shoot.
Captain Windsor, of Company I, Six
teenth Regiment, is wearing an elegant
sharpshooters badge just at present, but he
is going to give it to the best marksman in
his company on October 1. He has one
man, however, who is barred out of the con-
test. That is Private Henry @. Weigraft,
who spent ten years in the regular army
and wears % badges, some of which are very
valuable, as mementoes of his skill as a
marksman.

the closing day of camp. Yesterday was
no exception and after the war dance was

perspiration making streaks in the ruddy

General McClelland was among the boys
again yesterday, and visited almost every
part of the camp. He is well pleased with

the regiments. The camp has been sue

of the programme which were ruined by the

RUSSIA AND THE VATICAN.
The Pope Asked That in Unimportant
Services the Native Tongue Be Used.

The Pope Asked That in Unimportant
Services the Native Tongue Be Used.
ROME, Aug. 14.-M. Twolski, the dele
gate of the Gar to the Vatican, is engaged
at present in endeavoring to obtain the
assem- of the Pope to the use of the Russian
language in various parts of the religious
service of secondary Importance. Until
now, however, Cardinal Rampolla has been
instructed to refuse this concession, as it is
feared that it might lead to conversions to
the Eastern church.
Another question that NJ. Twolski is
negotiating concerns the Armenian Catholic
community of the Caucasus, annexed by
Russia after the war of 1876. This COM
munity had an autonomous Armenian
bishop and bishopric The bishop died
three years ago and the Russian Govern
ment insists that the diocese be suppressed
and the community placed under the juris-
diction of the Russian Roman Catholic
bishop at Teraspol. The Vatican does not,
however, show itself disposed to concede to
these demands.

DENvER's DOUBLE SUICIDE.
1t Is Very Possible That the Crime Was Half
Murder Instead.

DENVER, Aug. 14.-The circumstances
surrounding the death of Mr.. and Mrs.
Eugene Bonnick begin to take on mys-
terious appearance as the investigation pro-
ceeds, and there are many who now believe
that Mrs. Bonnick poisoned her husband
and then took the fatal drug herself, after
satisfying herself that her husband was too
far gone to recover.
The jury examined large number of wit
nesses this morning, but nothing OF start
ling nature was developed in the case, and
it is not believed that any evidence crim-
mating anyone now living will be produced,
although it is shown beyond question that
the meddling of relatives had much to do
with the double suicide, or murder and
suicide, as the case may be.

FREE SILVER IN OHIO.
Ex-Congressman Warner Says 1t Is the

to Be Fought on That Issue-Four-

Ex-Congressman Warner Says It Is the
Question Of the Hour-The Campaign
to Be Fought on That Issue-Four-
Fffths of the People Would Vote for IT.
General Warner, of Marietta, O., was at
the Seventh Avenue Hotel yesterday. The
General was in the Forty-sixth, Forty
eighth and Forty-ninth Congresses, and Is
best known in connection with his advo-
cacy OF free silver coinage He feels as
sured that the campaign in Ohio Will oe
fought out on the question of free silver.
Both sides may take issue at the outset,
he said, ''on the tariff, but the real hight
will be made on the silver question. The
people OF Ohio are not to be deluded into
the belief that the demonitization OF silver
was a1Judicious step. They recognize very
clearly that the value of gold, and its conse,
9uent cost is getting higher every day, and
they understand very we'll that an equlpolse
can only be established by bringing down
its value through the free coinage of silver
"A prominent Republican told me the
other day that if vote of the Ohio people
was taken, and aside from any partisan
feeling, four-ffths of them would vote for
the free coinage of silver. This question OF
monetary value is the one that affects the
great mass of the people, and you can make
note of it that the real fighting will be
done around that principle"
Campbell is pretty certain to win,' con-
tinued the General s1n the first place, no
Democrats will vote for Mckinley; in the
next, many Republicans will vote against
him on the tariff stand. There are many
Republicans who conscientiously believe in
protective tariff, and there are many
Democrats with them on that, but neither
can stand the tariff of utter exclusiveness
embodied in the Mckinley law. Tariff is a
good thing when it protects home industry,
because it keeps money in the country that
else would float out of it. but it is an injury
when made exclusive and for the benefit of
few against the good of the many.
General Warner thinks that Senator Cor
man is very possible Presidential nominee.
On the silver question he would find more
followers than Cleveland.

THE SCHMERTZ FAILURE.
Postponement of the SherifFs Sale-Eastern
Creditors Bill in Equity to Be Filed
To-Day-Standard Plate Glass Stock
Was All Paid Up.

Creditors Bill in Equity to Be Filed
Was All Paid Up.
The Sheriff's sale of the Schmertz
property has been adjourned for one week.
The bill in equity which has been prepared
by Attorney W. S. Pier on behalf of GER
tain Eastern creditors who claim they are
being defrauded, will be filed this morning,
and hearing will be held next Wednesday.
Mr.. Pier stated yesterday that the claims
which were represented in this bill would
aggregate alarge amount, probably SlOO, 900,
and that the executions issued in favor of
Mr.. Schmertz's friends and family would
, very likely absorb the entire assets and
leave these outside creditors without cent.
Captain Brickle, one of the stockholders
in the Standard Plate Glass Company,
which is in a receivers hands through the
Schmertz failure, was seen yesterday. He
said he was not conversant with the details
of the affairs of the company, but he under
stood the meeting which had been called to
consider the question of increasing the
capital stock would be held soon and the
capitalization increased to S1,000,000. He
said, also, that this additional stock would
all be taken by the old stockholders, as
they had every confidence in the money
making powers Of the plant. The present
capital of S75O,0OO, he said, was all paid-up
stock.
An effort was made to see others of the
directors and stockholders, but none of
them could be found. The President,
James A Chambers, is still confined to his
bed, but it was reported at his office that he
was expected at the latter place on Monday.
Judge Kennedy one of the stockholders,
and the legal adviser of the company, is
absent from the city
A county official. in speaking of Mr..
Schmertzs financial affairs yesterday,
reiterated that the prime cause of his en-
barrassment was an unfortunate investment
in CHARTERS Gas stock, having taken
block of it when at Its best, which cost him
S30O,000 while to-day scarcely more than
S25 900 could be realized from it.

TIMES EASIER IN PORTUGAL.

The Coinage of Silver and the Issue of Small
Notes Effect the Change.
LISBON, Aug 14.-The coinage of silver
and the issue of small notes have vastly i'm
proved the monetary situation. The public
freely accept the notes, which commercial
companies and retail dealers demand should
be rapidly increased. Silver is scarce, as
it has replaced sovereigns in remittances in
England.
Imports have greatly diminished owing to
the ending of the importation of American
wheat Unfavorable rates of exchange pre-
vent the importation of other goods. The
business of home manufacturers has greatly
increased, especially in the cotton and
wooden trades. The wine, wheat and maize
crops are the largest in many years.
