TO STRENGTHEN THE NAVY.
New Plan for Getting Modern War
Ships Proposed.


WASHINGTON, d. c., June 26,-''The
Viceroy OF China is quoted as saying
that he would like to send fleet to
teach the Americans manners, +" remark
ed Commodore In the navy yesterday.
II think it would be an admirable idea.
We want more ships and that would be
cheap and easy way for us to get
them.
"Suppose that Chinese squadron
should make hostile demonstrations off
the Pacific coast. How long do you sup
pose it would take us to gobble it up?
A collision once arrived at, would only
be matter of few hours or perhaps
minutes We could easily destroy the
ships, hut 1t would be better TO capture
them if practicable.
True, the navy Of China is stronger
than ours, so far as vessels are concern
ed, but the finest ships in the world do
not amount to row Of pins without
good men to fight them. The trouble
with the Chinese is that they do not
know how to fight. Furthermore they
are no sailors.
at would not take US long to capture
the whole of China's navy. When she
fought with the French few years ago
she had some excellent modern ships of
war. They were all taken off hand. Our
own navy is still weak, though we are
boasting of it so much, and fleet con-
tributed by the Flowery Kingdom
would be a very acceptable gift. If it
comes over there is nothing / should
like better than 10 have command Of q
SQUADRON in Pacific waters"

ANARCHIsrs PAkDoNED.
FieIden, Neebe and schwalb Pardoned by
Governor AItgeld.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL, June 26.-Gover-
nor Altgeld to-day issued pardons to
Samuel Fielden, Oscar Neebe and
Michael Schwab, the anarchists now
serving terms Of imprisonment at
Joliet penitentiary for alleged COM
plicity in the Haymarket riot at
Chicago on the night of May 4, 1886.
The pardon message contains 1900
words. The Governor takes the ground
that these men did not have a fair trial
aud that the court was prejudiced. He
scores Judge Gary and Chief OF Police
Bonfield severely.
CHICAGO, June 26.-Regarding Gov.
Altgeld's pardon OF Fielden, Neebe and
Schwab, Capt.W P. Black, who was the
leading counsel for defense In the An
archist trial. said this afternoon: This
pardon will not weaken the law, but
will strengthen ii and will increase the
respect for the Jaw in the minds OF the
people"
Frank Walker, one OF the States
counsel in the case, said: THE only
effect the parden might have made,
might be to lessen the fear of punish
ment In the minds OF men like them.
But then fanatics never know fear"
CHICAGO. June 26.-Three men who for
nearly six years have been known as Nos.
s. s3T6, S. .526 and S.527, emerged from the
stone portal of the penitentiary at Joliet at
Z o'clock this evening. They were Oscar
Neebe, Samuel Fielden and Michael
Schwab. the Anarchists. who were par
doned py Governor Altgeld to-day.
When Banker Dreyer, OF Chicago, arriv-
ed from Springfield with the precious
papers. the men were brought into the
wsrden's Office and Mr.. Dreyer made q
short speech, in which he said executive
clenency was extended TO them on condi-
ton that they promise TO refrain from as
sociating with men who preached the doc
trines which brought them within prison
walls and 10 refrain from again propagat-
ing anarchistic theories.
The men could hardly promise fast
enough and in short time they were on
the train bound for this city. The men
upon the advice Of Mr.. Dreyer left the train
al Twenty-third street and took street cars
TO their homes to avoid any possible dem
opstration oy their friends at the depot
All of them. however, were compelled TO
elbow a pathway through the crowds that
gathered at the gates Of their homes.
Mrs. Fielden refused TO 90 70 the train 10
meet her husband, saying she did not be-
lieve the news. She had heard IL before
and had been disappointed many times.

TRE CHINESE QUESTION.
How a New Treaty May be Made to Rem
der the Geary Law Imperative.

| WASHINGTON, ID. O., June 26.-The
Chinese legation will probably be turned
! over to the new minister about the last
| OF July. Although tie present Chinese
minister has received no Information
! from his government 20 the effect that
a new treaty with the United States
will be insisted upon, still such action
is looked upon at the legation as not I'm
probable. Mr.. Ho, secretary to Minister
Tsui Kwo Yin, intimated that the Chi
nese government looked upon the pass
age Of the Geary act as declaration
of this government that the ex-
listing treaty should be considered as
abrogated, d position held by the coun-
sci for the Chinese in the case in the
Supreme Court in which the validity of
the act was tested. II such be the case
Mr.. Ho is inclined to believe that In
view of the friendly relations that have
always existed, there should be new
treaty. For this reason he does not
think it improbable that steps will be
taken to negotiate a new convention
between the United States and China.
At the State department.. to-day, the
significant statement attributed TO the
Chinese ViceLsy to the effect that a new
treaty must be negotiated between
China and the United States to regulate
the immigration question, caused the
suggestion to be made 6y State De-
partment official that the President
could thus, with the aid OF the Senate,
absolutely nullify the Geary law. There
would be no necessity to secure the
consent OF the House Of Representa-
tives. A treaty has the full power OF
statute in the United States, and, II OF
later date, can replace IL as the law OF
the land. The Supreme Court has 30
ruled In number of cases, but nowhere
more clearly and specifically than In the
Cherokee tobacco case, where the court
adopts the language of Judge Swayne,
as follows: "a treaty may supersede q
prior act of Congress, and an act of
Congress may supersede prior treaty" !"
1t was exactly this that happened
when the Geary act was passed, for 1t
practically superseded the most import
ant provisions OF the existing treaty,
and in the opinion of the State Depart
ment there is no-reason why the act it,
self should not yield to another treaty,
II the President and Senate see fit and
can agree upon an instrument satisfac-
tory TO themselves and TO the govern
ment OF China.

GeAFToN, w. VA, June 26.-This
evening about 10 o'clock A. j. McAyoy,
proprietor OF the Central Hotel, was no.
titled that the room occupied by ii. a.
Wilcox, of Cleveland, Ohio, had been
locked during the day and no one had
been able to get reply to the several
raps at the door.
Mr.. McAvoy broke open the door and
was Mortified to find the llfeless body OF
Mr.. Wilcox lying on the bed.
DIR. Vankirk was summoned and pro-
nounced the cause OF death to be heart
trouble. He had gone to his bed room
on Saturday night and had evidently
laid down on the bed without undress-
ing, for the purpose OF reading before
retiring for the night, as there was
book lying on the bed beside him. Some
money and two gold watches were
found on his person. He was travelling
for the Craig Baking Powder Company,
Of Cleveland, Ohio. and had made sew
eral sales during Saturday.
Within his notebook. dated at At
lanta, Ca, 1890. were these words, III
am found dead, notify the Craig Baking
Powder Company, of Cleveland, o."
From these it was inferred that he
had been suffering with heart trouble
at the time. The parties above were
notified and will send for the body to-
morrow.

NAY CONE TO WEST VIRGINIA.
Mr. Cleveland Expected to visit Senator
Camden Early in July.

|. WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.-The
time Of President Cleveland's departure
from Washington for his summer home
In Buzzards Bay, Mass, has not been
definitely settled, but he will probably
leaYe Washington during the first half
of July. 1t is certain that he will re-
main at the White House for another
week, and there is likelihood that he
will accept an invitation OF
Senator Camden TO spend few days
fishing in West Virginia in about Two
weeks. Should Mr.. Cleveland, however,
conclude to go to Gray Gables before
the time set for the fishing trip 1t is
hardly probable that he will return to
visit Senator Camden.
Rumors from Wall street that the
President was considering the question
OF calling Congress in extra session on
the first of August was telegraphed
back here to-day. They were found to
be entirely destitute Of truth.

Special 3sisoram 70 the Register
WASHINGTON, D. c., June 26.-The
long threatened change in the Weston
postmastership was made to-day. The
President removed Postmaster Ander-
son and appointed Mr. Granville Nj.
Chidester to succeed him, al the re-
Quest of Congressman Pendleton.
Mr.. Brown, who was postmaster at
at Weston under Cleveland's former ad-
ministration, and was removed by har-
rison, was a candidate for reappoint-
meut, and had Mr.. Pendleton's endorse
ment for the place, but the President
i'm this instance declined 10
waive the rule against the reap
pointment OF ex-ofhce holders and Mr..
Pendleton then endorsed Mr.. Chidester,
an active young Democratic lawyer.
Postmaster Anderson was removed for
offensive partisanship. Even with Re-
publicans he does not seem to have
stood well, for letters urging his re-
moval were sent here by residents OF
Weston, of his own political faith. Ii
was expected that new postmaster at
Clarksburg would be appointed at the
same time as at Weston, but for some
reason the President did not act in this
case.
Senator Camden also had a candidate
for the Weston postmastership, X. l..
Bland.
The following were designated to-
day for appointment as members OF the
board of pension examining sugeons: AT
Martinsburg, West Virginia, Drs. Il. H.
