CAPTAINS RELIEVED,
Schley and Remey to be Given
Shore Duty.

SIOHO
WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-There were
some important orders issued from the
naval department today, interesting Ill
view of the recent prospect of Chilian
war. Capt. w. S. Schley is relieved
from the command of the cruiser Baltl-
more and placed ON duty in charge of
the Third lighthouse district. with
headquarters at Staten Island,
n. y. relieving Capt. ii. F.
Picking, who is ordered to command
the cruiser Charleston. which figured
SO prominently in the ,Itata incident.
Capt. George G., Remey is relieved from
leave of absence. The Baltimore is to
be commanded by Capt. William White
head, who is at present OH duty at the
Boston navy yard. He will leave that
post on the 18th, and will take command
of the vessel as soon as he can make the
journey across the continent. Both the
Baltimore and the Charleston are at
San Francisco.
1t was stated at the navy department
this morning that these orders had no
bearing upon the Chilian episode. as
the relief OF CaptS. Schley and Remey
is matter of rule, those officers hav-
ing already served more than the regu-
latlOn time as commanders of vessels.
Their times expired some weeks ago,
and it was at their urgent request that
no changes were made as long as there
was prospect of trouble. Their relief
from their vessels at such a period
would have been regarded as rather
severe, unless there were some specific
reason for the change.

SOLDIERS DEGRADATION.
High Military Officers Admit the
Practice of Brutality.


BERLIN, Feb. 6.-The Saxon military
plenipotentiary, Col. Won Schlieben,
and Gen. Won Gossler. of the Prussian
army, have admitted. before the COM
mission appointed by the reichstag to
inquire into the charges that certain
nOn-cOmmiSsiOned officers had been
guilty OF treating the men under them
with brutality, that the allegations are
founded OH fact. Gen. Won Gossler de-
clared that the soldiers would be better
treated If the non-com nissioned officers
were OF better social material.
In subsequent debate in the reich
stag on the subject Herr Richter rldi-
culed the remark of Deputy Lingens
(ClericaD that soldier ought to obey
his officers as representatives of the
Deity. Herr Singer announced that he
would call attention to the systematic
degradation of soldiers in plenary ses-
sion of the house. All the speakers
concurred i'll expressing sympathy with
the men.and finally motion was passed
advising that greater publicity be given
to courts martial and that freer access
be afforded to privates who desired to
lay complaints before their superior
officers.

ticher denied that the workmen's pen
sion act was failure, and said that the

particulars. He asked all sections of

BERLIN, Feb. 6.-Whatever may be
the intentions of the ministry regarding
the modifying of the Prussian ele-
mentary education act, the proceedings
in committee show that the Clerico-
Conservative majority are not disposed
to assume conciliatory attitude. The
clauses containing the most arbitrary
provisions have already been passed by
a vote of 16 to II. By an unaltered
majority the house rushed the success

emperor, and relative to his majesty
promising Herr Won Bennigsen, a men,
ber of the National Liberal party. to SO
shape the bill as to preventHerr MIGUEL,
Prussian minister of finance, and other
ministers from resigning, seem like so
much gas. The committee has asked
Herr MIGUEL for a detailed statement of
the annual expenditures under the
measure. The Conservatives got a
thorough setback when they found that
the new education bill would involve
All
of 10000 600 marks annually, which it is
proposed shall be raised on the income
tax. The opposition hold that this esti-
mate is not sufficiently large, as the
provision enabling any sixty families
living in one district who may claim
the right to have separate school at
the cost of the state will multiply the
schools and burden the treasury. The
Conservatives have almost decided to
drop the measure unless the financial
clauses Of the bill are moulded to suit
them.
Meantime the popular agitation is
spreading throughout the empire. The
Liberals i'll every state, recognizing the
fact that the victory of the clericalS in
Prussia will enable them to triumph
elsewhere, are organizing demonStra-
tlonS against the proposed new law.
The Berlin municipal council has voted
to postpone the building of communal
schools pending the decision as to the
tate of the bill.
The Court theater, at Stuttgart, was

cheers. On the other side, at the con-
ference of Catholic bishops held at

congratulations of the conference to the
government upon its action.

PACKERS CONTRACT.
Particulars of the Armour-Mor-
ris-Swift Deal.

Boston, Feb. Ga circular has been
issued by the Chicago junction railways
and Union Stock Yards company, call
ing meeting of stockholders March ]
to change the bylaws and approve the
contract with Messrs. Armour. Morris,
Swift and others, to whom the company
propose to issue S5.0OO,OO0 fifteen year
five per cent non-cumulatiye income
bonds, reserying the right to deliver
common stock at par in lieu of such
bonds and stockholders to have the right
to exchange common stock at par into
such bonds.
The contract proposed binds the
packers to continue for fifteen years the
business of packing at Chicago all live
stock slaughtered by them within 200
miles of Chicago. All the live stock is
to pass through the Chicago company's
yards and to pay the usual charges and
yardage, which shall amount in the
next six years to at least S2.00O,O0O. All
suits are to be abandoned and the Cen
tral stockyards is to be transferred to
the Chicago company and also 1,O0O, 900
acres of land at rollston and the use of
the remaining 5000 acres is to be re-
stricted. The circular says that the
live stock purchased by the packers at
the yards of the company are the source
of over 80 per cent of the income of the
yards. and the removal of these packers
would have resulted in corresponding
loss to the company'S income.

Newfoundland's Flour Trade Lost

NtWlOunulanuS Flour trade Lost

MONTREAL, Feb. Ga trade circular
has been issued to the Canadian millers
which is of interest to- Americans, as
well. 1t says: "We are exceedingly
sorry to see that the difficulties between
Canada and Newfoundland over the
fishery question have brought about a
differential tax on all Canadian fours
entering Newfoundland. This tax is
S1.05 per barrel, while all United States
flours are admitted on the former
tariff of 30 cents per barrel. This
difference of rs cents barrel
against us is simply prohibitory for
the Canadian trade. Newfoundland
requires every year 100000 barrels of
flour, and we are certain that there will
be no difficulty in Canadian millers Sc
curing the bulk of this trade if we are
placed on equal terms with our Ameri-
can competitors. For the first time in
several years the prices of Canadian
fOurs are on level or a little below
those of American millerS. We fully
rely on your aid in this matter, and sug-
gest that every miller should at once

of his district in parliament, and also

THE MIST THICKENs.
Salisbury's Government Involved
in Difficulties

LONDON, Feb. Gas the time ap-
proaches for the meeting of parliament
the difficulties are thickening in the
path of tine government. OF these the
most pressing are the restrictions to be
placed upon the Irish local government.
There appears to be no doubt that Mr..
Balfour gave little or no information to
the Irish deputations here Yesterday.
He heard their complaints and their
suggestions, and that was about
all. 1t is also rather an open
secret that the restrictions asked for
would render the plan unacceptable 10
large section of the minlsterialists'
supporters.
A plan which finds more favor with
the government than it is likely to meet
with in the house of commons is one of
drastic supervision and suppression
such as would make the county councils
hopeless dependents upon the Irish
local government board, and might at
any time render the work of that board
beyond possibility if there were any
general disobedience to the official ideas
of local government.

Severe Reflections by Surveyor of
Customs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6.-Acting Secre.
tary Spaulding says the recent changes
in the customs service at New York
were made in accordance with the rec
ommendation of the customs officers at
that port. The following is copy of
a letter written by the surveyor of GUS
toms of New York, recommending the
removal of twenty-five inspectors of
customs:
AS one result of my observations I find
that the practice of demanding and receiving
br1bes and unlawful fees andgra tuities is quite
prevalent. The nature of these offenses, in

MANNING's SUCCESSOR.
1t Is Desirable That He Be an
EngliShman.

LONDON, Feb. 6.-The bishop of Cliff
ton, DIR. Clifford, as possible candidate
to succeed Cardinal Manning as arch
bishop, is spoken of as home ruler
This is not true. He has, as matter of
fact, made no secret of his conservative
sympathies, and has upon OCCASION
used his influence with his flock in that
interest. 1he importation cf Cardinal
Moran from Sidney to fill the vacancy
at Westminster must have been sug-
gested by those who allow commend
able zeal for desirable object to run
away with their sense of justice.
Although the statement that nine
tenths of the Roman Catholics in Lon
don are Irish or foreigners may be al
lowed to pass, with certain reserva-
tions, yet the fact remains that they
have been happy and content under the
English archbiShopS: nor must it be
forgotten that the Roman church in
England aspires to convert English
men TO its views, an object which, as
things are, is much more likely to be
furthered by native prelate. In short.
an English hierarchy with an Irish head
would hardly work well. The name Of
Bishop Hedley has also been a great
deal mentioned as that of a possible
successor of the late Cardinal Manning.
He is among the most learned of the
English bishops, and has for some years
edited the Dublin Review.
