MIR. GEARY IS PErULANr.
He Says McCreary's Substitute Is Merely
Makeshift

WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-The foreign
affairs committee have decided to report
favorably the McCreary substitute for the
Everett bill. AS agreed on. it extends
the Chinese registration period six
months from the passage of the act. 1t

Geary offered his amendment requiring

Identification clause, but only secured
three votes in its support. The majority
deemed the regulations of the treasury
department sufficient.
On the bill Geary cast the only adverse

THE PoRTE,s DECISION.
The Protestant College at Anatolia Will
Be Closed.


Be Closed.
LONDON, Oct. 3.-A correspondent at
Constantinople has learned that the porte
has decided to close the Protestant col
lege at Anatolia and has informed the
United States minister that the sultan
does not desire to return DR.. Merrick. The
government at Washington, the report
says, has informed the porte that Ameri-
can missionaries must be in no wise pre-
vented from returning to Asia Minor
from Europe. The porte claims no school
can be opened in Turkey without a special
firman. This will affect the Americans,
chiefly since there are between 80, 900 and
40, 600 children under American iustruc-
ton. The American minister has taken
the position that as by the treaty be-
tween Turkey and the United States,
American citizens have right to pursue
an avocation in Turkey, no permit is
necessary in their cases. The granting
OF permits, he adds, would be equivalent
to a restriction upon tie treaty and the
rights of American citizens, and unless
his position be maintained the whole
American system of missionary education
in Turkey will be endangered.

ABSOLUTE FREE COINAGE.

Springer Says it Would BE Impossible by
the Passage of Either Repeal Bill.
WASHINGTON. Oct. 3.-Springer has
been looking into the question whether
the passage of either of the silver repeal
bills would restore the absolute free coin
age act of 1887. He has concluded the re-
yiyal of the clause fixing the amount of
silver in the standard silver dollar might
possibly be construed in warrantlng
the unlimited coinage of silver by free
silver secretary of the treasury. Springer
has consulted Carlisle, who has expressed
the opinion that free coinage would not
result from the passage OF either bill, and
said il the silver men thought so, let them
pass the bill and test the matter in the
Supreme court.

CUTTING OUT THE WIRES.
More Papers Divorced from the United
Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 9.-The Detroit Netos,
which has always received the United
Press report, cut out that service today
and was granted an Associated Press fran
chise, beginning with that service today.
The st. Louis Globe Democrat cut out
the United Press report after formal action
taken by the board OF directors OF that
paper. a similar notice was given by the
St. Louis Post Dispatch tonight, and that
paper ceases taking the United Press re-
port after today. All three of the ST..
Louis papers have, therefore, severed all
connection with the United Press, the ST..
Louis Republic having cut out the United
Press wires several days ago, deciding to
adhere to the Associated Press.

MADRID. Oct. 2.-Further particulars
of the fight between the Moors and the
Spanish troops, who were engaged in
erecting a fort near Mellilla, Morocco,
cabled exclusively to the Associated Press
last night, show the fighting was of the
most desperate character.
Three hundred Spanish troops were
attacked by 5000 Moors armed with Win
chester repeating rifles. The Spaniards
withstood their charges repeatedly, fight
ing with the utmost discipline and
bravery till their ammunition was nearly
exhausted, when they forced retreat
and at the same time protected the labor
ers at work on the fort. Again and again,
on the retreat to Mellilla, the little body
Of troops seemed about overwhelmed by
the force of superior numbers and the
fanatical bravery of the Moors, but,
forming back to back, they fought off
their pursuers. They were finally re-
inforced by q small squadron of cavalry
from Mellilla-
The most desperate fighting continued
up to the very walls of Mellilla fort.
From the ramparts a continuous fire
suing Moors, relieved the stress upon the
small body of rstreating Spaniards, al
} lowing them finally to get safely inside
the fort.
The sufferings of the Spanish troops
throughout that day Of battle, beneath
tie onrni1g sun, without food or water,
were almost beyond comprehension.
The SpaEiards tried as much as possible
to rescue the wounded from the hands OF
the Arabs, but the inferior number of
Spanish troops prevented them from
saving many of the brave soldiers, who,
when wounded, were killed unmerci-
fully by the charging Arabs.
The guns of the fort were admirably
handled. Their fire created terrible
havoc among the Moors, but the number
of Moorish soldiers killed will probably
never be known, owing to the fact that
the Moors managed to carry of the dead
and dying.
The Spanish troops destroyed the Arab

BAD TINES FOR MUSIC.
Three Big Piano Firms Pushed Over the
Precipice.

NEW YORK, Oct. 3.-Hardman, Peck
& Co., piano dealers, have failed.
The liabilities of the suspended firm
will, it is estimated, be about $500, 900,
and the assets, which include stock on
hand, machinery, buildings and plant,
about $3.50, 900. The failure is said to be
dne to the inability of the firm to meet
maturing obligations and to the general
depression in trade and bad times.

receiver of the firm of piano dealers of E.
G. Harrington & Co., in the suit OF Leo
pold and Alfred L. Peck, stockholders.
The firm is said to be insolvent. The

is ridiculously large even if every one of

Porter, OF the steam whaler Newport, has

stopped, but it is the opinion that had the
Newport been supplied with dogs and

been reached by travelling over the ice.
