The Scandal sailed from Hamburg on
August "5, and was due here Thurs
day. 1t has been variorsly reported
that she had about 900 Storage pas
sengers and it has been expected that
she would be the final coup Of the
piague-ridden American company, and
the report shows that tn. first fears
are more than realized. No such NOR
tality as that which Capt. Kopff has
been compelled to report has hereto

six ships under the ban of the health
officers, to-wit: The Moravia, Rugia.

Military Instructors in College s.

The report of Inspector General Heyle to
Gen. Miles, and submitted to the War Depart
ment with Gen. Miles report, shows that dur
ing the year there were in attendance at the
military institutions where army officers are in
structors 10 1873 students. They were well or
gained into companies. and the military in
structors seem to perform their duties well.
The report states. however, that some of the
colleges thought of the military feature as an
advertisement only and are not willing to give
the necessary time to the instruction to make
II a success. Recommendation is made that at
the colleges where it lis found that no special
effort is made to make the military feature a
success the instructor should be relieved and
sent to some institution that ismore progressive
and makes some effort to improve its con-
dition.
Col. Heyl also recommends that all officers
be retired on their own application after thirty
years service. with an additional grade to those
who served in the war. Such move, he says,
would remove stagnasion in promotion and give
many officers an additional grade which they
would never be able 10 attain if they remain on
the active list and are retired under the present
laws

jungle and disappeared from view. Over a
score of men, women and boys who were work.
ing along the fiat at the time Of the phenomenal
occurrence, attest that they plainly saw the
same hideous monster in his ethereal flight.
One witness describes the serpent as being. q,
least -four "tsongs" 600 feet in length and as
big around As a mans body. All witnesses con-
cur in saving that the head and foreparts Of the
creature resembled an alligator moro than any

continued motion as long as 1t remained in
sight The natives are said to be much excited

In a recent issue Of the Northwestern Agri-

INDICTED FOR TREASON.
True Bills Against Homestead Strikers-Steel
Men and Pinkertons Indicted.

Men and PtnkertOns Indicted.
As was generally expected from the tenor of
Chief Justice Parsons charge to the grand jury
in littsburg on Monday large number Of the
Homestead strikers were yesterday indicted for
treason against the state Of Pennsylvania The
following were indicted: Hugh O'Donnell, John
McLuckie, David Lynch, Thomas ]. Crawford,
Harry Bayne. Elmer E. Bail, Henry Bayard,
J. ". Brown, George Champen, Isaac Critch-
low, Miller Colgan, John Coyle, Jack Clifford,

Pagan, ". H. Caches, Matthew Harris, Reid
Kennedy, John Miller, o. S. Starlight, John
Murray, w. ". Thompson. Martin Murray,
Hugh Ross, W. I. Roberts, George Rylands and
George W. ssrvsr.
The grand Jury did not pause with the in
dictment Of the strikers, but brought true bills
in against the Carnegie officials and tine Pinker-
tons, charging conspiracy, not and murder.
The Indictment against the Carnegie officials
for the murder reads follows in the case Of
Silas VAIN: The grand inquest Of the COM
monwealth of Pennsylvania do present: That

the 9Th day Of July. 1892, with force and arms.
then and there being did make assault on
Slss Vain, and feloniously. intellectually and of
their malice aforethought did kill and murder,
contrary to the form OF assembly and against
the peace and dignity OF the commonwealth of
Pennsylvania"
The prosecutor in the murder cases is Hugh
Ross. against whom there are counter charges
of murder. treason, conspiracy and mot.
The indictment against Mr.. Frick and his
associates for conspiracy sets forth. among
other things, that ''Said defendants did unlaw-
fully, falsely and maliciously conspire, combine.
federate and agree together to depress. lower,
lessen and diminish wages, price and compen-
sation of labor Of divers persons employed by
the Carnegie Steel Company, Limited, to then
and there close up the steel manufacturing and

said township Of Mifflin who were then lately
before employed by the said Carnegie Steel
Company, to invade the said township of Milf
fin and to attack and to shoot of and discharge
the said deadly weapons against said persons
lately employed by said Carnegie Steel Com
pany, Limited"
In regard TO the fight on the morning of
July the bill saws the defendants did counsel
and advise the shooting
The Indictment in the riot cases against
Frick and the officials differs little from that in
the conspiracy charge.
The grand jury's action did not cause much
excitement among the public generally and the
defendants themselves took it quite coolly.

Regiments in the Prussian Army Led by
DANES of High Degree.
Five women, all danes of high degree, have
been appointed to the command Of crack regi-
ments in the Prussan army by the present
young warrior emperor, says the New York Sun.
This H. like most OF his acts an entirely new de-
parture, but whether 1t is a shrewd device or sim
ply one Of his peculiar freaks it is well calculated
to achieve his dearest ambition, the e1alta ton
and popularizing of the army above every
thing else. Previous to his accession there
were only two women colonies in the Prussian
army and none had been appointed for nearly
a score years.
The senior woman colonel is the empress
Frederick. who was placed in command Of a regi-
ment Of husssrs at the coronation Of Emperor
William l., October IS. 1861. Princess Freder-
lick Charles, widow of the famous Red Prince"
ranks second in point of time. She received
her colonelcy in 1871. Queen Victoria was
made colonel of Prussian regiment of dra-
goons in 1889.
The two first named have often ridden at the
head of their regiments. dressed in their full
regimentais, and one of the Empress Freder-
icks most dashing pictures shows her thus at
tired aud afield.
