AMERICAN BEER.

A German Who Says It Is Far Ahead
OF the Product of other Countries.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Washing-
ton has recently been visited by several
investigating experts, representing for
eign governments, who come to study
features of our government, especially
our material interests. The latest is
Henry Won Laer, of Belgium, director
of the brewing school of Client.
81 was authorized" he says, Ito visit
America and make a thorough exami-
nation of your breWeries, which L have
about accomplished. My trip has been
satisfactory, and 1 have seen much in
the great plants at st. Louis, Milwau
kee, Cincinnati, Buffalo and other cities
that viii be of great use to me in my
work at home. The school of which 1
am director, is supported by the govern
ment, the province, the city and the
brewing associations. each Gefraying a
part of the cost OF its maintenance. Bel
GUM takes the lead as the greatest
beer drinking country of the world.
Though a little government. its brew
cries turn out nearly 5000 coo barrels of
beer. and as that does not supply the
demand, we have to import a quantity
from Germany and England. 1t is the
popular drink with US, as wine is in
France, and our public houses keep
open all night long to afford the people
ample opportunity to Stake their thirst.
1t may be that is the reason we con-
sumo so much more per capita than the
people of the United States. The Bel
g1an breweries are taxed on the amount
of malt used, and not by the barrel as
in this country, which is, I think a
somewhat better method"
Dr. Won Laer speaks highly Of Amer
lean beer
wholesome MATERIAL he says, and
generally is better than the common
beer of my country. 1 did not like the
sort you produce when L first tried it,,
but though only few weeks in this
country, 1 have grown excessively fond
of it, and when 1 return home shall
tell my people of its excellence"

TARRYTOWN, N. Y, Aug. 16.-The
brighter side of candidates life was
experienced by the Hon. William j.
Bryan today.
He had, perhaps, the pleasantest
Sunday since his nomination.
In company with General Samuel
Thomas, the New York capitalist and
prominent Republican, Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan attended divine services this
morning at the First Presbyterian
church in Irvington.
0. j. Smith took the nominee driving
in the afternoon. Mrs. Bryan, Mrs.
Smith and Mr.. Sewan were in the party.
They visited scenes of historic and leg
endary interest in Tarrytown and vi
cinity, including the bridge where, ac-
cording to Washington Irving, the head
less horseman threw his skull at Icha-
bod Crane
They alishted at Sleepy Hollow ceme-
terry and visited the grave of Washing
ton Irving. In addition to Mr.. and Mrs.
Bryan and Mr.. Sewall, Mr.. John Bris-
bane Walker had as guests at dinner
this evening Mr.. Albert Shaw, editor of
the Review of Reviews, whose summer
residence is at Iryington and Mr.. w.
Il. Hearst. Several friends and nelSn-
bors of Mr.. Walker called on Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Sewall today. Part of the
journey tomorrow to Upper Red Hook,
the place where Mr.. Bryan will write
his letter of acceptance, will be made
by boat up the Hudson. If 1t can be
so arranged the Poughkeepsie boat will
stop at Irvington for Mr.. Bryan and
his party, and the trip as far as Pough-
keepsie will be made by that means.
Otherwise the party will board it at
Yonkers.
The boat is due at Irvington about
go
Mr.. Bryan confirmed today the dis
patches from ST. Louis and Baltimore
that he had promised to speak at those
places, but said that the dates had not
been fixed. Mr.. Bryan states that he is
not yet ready to give out his itinerary
for the acmpaign.

BUTCHER WEYLER.

He Is the Cause of n Young MIN
killing Himself.
NEW YORK, Aug. IA dispatch
to the Recorder from Havana, says:
Captain General Weyler and General
ochando were the principals in SEN
sanional affair which occurred shortly
before the latter sailed for Spain.
1t seems that the death of General
Ochando's nephew, Who was a lieuten-
ant in the Spanish army, was the cause
of the trouble There were ugly ru-
mors in circulation rejecting on the
young lieutenant. 1t was alleged that
he was conducting q reasonable cor
respondence with Maxine Gomez kssc
insurgent chief.
When Weyler heard of the rumors
he summoned the young man to the
palace and questioned him. Weyler
was apparently satisfied of the young
mans guilt, and told him thet if he
did not commit suicide within twenty
four hours he would be court-maTttialed
and shot.
The lieutenant left the palace, went
to his room and in six hours was
corpse, having shot himself through the
heart.
Shortly afterwards General Ochando
arrived in Havana and learned the
true story of his nephew's death.
Ochando was greatly enraged and i'm
mediately went to the palace TO call
Weyler to account. The meeting of the
generals was sensational. Ochando
denounced Weyler in the bitterest
terms, alleging that the lieutenant was
guiltless and had been driven to his
death. Ocfando termed Weyler muir
derer and a butcher and challenged
him 10 a, duel. Both men drew swords
and would have fought in the palace
but for the interference of other off,
Gals.
Two days later General Ochando sail
ed for Spain. He is greatly enraged
and says that he WIFI make the affair
public when he reaches Spain and de-
mand Weyler's recall.

pose Of considering the September cleo
ton. The Arkansas Populists may
conclude not TO support Bryan. and
may substitute the name of Norton,
of Illinois. An address just issued by
the state committee is as follows:

trary, nearly all the silver Republic
cans have come TO the Peoples party
and are attending their conventions.
Thousands of Democrats declare they
will support Bryan and Watson cleo

UNUSUAL ECONOMIES.
They Were Exercised by the Mill
tary and Naval Officers.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.-Unusual
economies seem to be exercised by mill
tary and naval officials Last week, As
sistant Secretary of the Navv McAdoo
reTnitted eleven months of the years i'm
priSonnnent which was imposed on Ma
cllindst Dunphy OF the ram Kathadin,
dismissal to follow, on the ground that
it was too expensive to keep him in pris-
ON that long.
General orders just issued by General
Otis. in command of the department of
Columbia, seem to show that the same
policy is to be followed in the army.
Two soldiers were sentenced to dismissal
following a years Imprisonment for de-
sertion. Reviewing the report of the
court martial. General Otis approves the
sentence after reducing the term of i'm
prisonment six months.
Similar remission of punishment is also
made by General F'orsythe of the depart
Inent of California. Orders from the

fer of horses and mules from ole point
to another require the transfers to be
made without cost for transportation.

MOBILE, Ala. August 16.-News OF
a deadly cyclone that passed through
Perry county, Alabama, Thursday, was
received today by the Herald.
About o'clock in the afternoon 1t
became very dark, the barometer be-
gan to fall and heavy rain descended.
A terrific wind caused trees to be
hurled high in the air, while the
strongest houses were shaken from
their foundations. Twelve negroes and
three white men, names unknown, are
known to be among the killed and
many others were injured The list
of dead may be greatly increased when
news is received from other places in
the country.
The meagre details given above are
from Augustine, sixteen miles from the
nearest telegraph station. The cy-
clones path was through the interior
of the county, which cannot be
reached by wire. Hundreds of farmers
lost their entire crop by the wind and
rain

THEY HAD TO
BORROW HEARSES
A Sad State of Affairs in the
Metropolis of the Country.

NEW YORK, August 17.-In this
city yesterday were held $50 funer-
ais and in Brooklyn over 200 peo-
pie were buried Friday, Saturday
and Sunday saw more burials than
any seven days Of which the GENE
terry bookkeepers can find record of.
Of the 1910 persons who died in
this city last week nearly 500 died
Thursday night, Friday and Sat
uIday Because of the difficulty
of securing baskets, hearses and
carriages or even undertakers' ser
vice beyond the simple and most
necessary, nearly all the funerals
for that period were delayed until
today.
Thirty-six hearses were borrowed
from adjoining towns in New Jeu-
sey and twelve from Philadelphia
for yesterday, and several New
York undertakes whose rush was
over, loaned bearses to Brooklyn
friends. Other hearses were added
to Brooklyn's supply from Long Is
land towns. as there were nearly
one-fourth of the weeks SIC dead
in that city still unburied. At the
cemeteries the crowds of visitors
were enormous and the tolling of
the gate bells continuous. So many
graves had been called for that the
force of nearly 800 men at Calvary
had been increased by over 100
diggers. and the entire number
worked night and day.
All day Father Costello stood in
the chapel at Holy Cross and pro-
nounced the benediction of the
dead. The funeral trains also ap-
preached the chapel in double lines,
the hearses massed around the en-
trance. where bearers waited with
their burden and the weeping rela-
tives until their turn to enter.

NOT INVITING.
Islands Reported Upon by a Com
SUI.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 16.-The state
department has resolved to publish the
report of Mr.. James H Mullen, ex-
consul general to Samoa. upon the
government, commerce, products and
people of thai country which has hith-
erto been held as confidential and il
viii appear in the August volume OF
consular reports now in press. This
report was submitted to the depart
ment in September. 1895, when Mr.. Null
len resigned his Office and was the ex-
preston of his views after a years
stay in the country. 1t is lengthy
document, comprising nearly 100 PRINT
ed pages, and is valuable and interest
ing from almost any point of view.
Mr.. Mullen explains that one rea-
son for making the report was the re-
ceipt by him of a large number Of
letters of inquiry from persons in the
United States, who, persuaded by rose
ate and misleading reports, express
themselves as anxious TO leave the
United States, with all it's opportuni-
ties, to make their homes in these is
lands, where they suppose a living
can be had without labor and large
profits await the application OF ord
nary industry or enterprise. AS a mat
ter of fact. he says, the expense Of
living in Samoa. is two or three times
as great as in the United States. OF
the workings of the government under
the treaty, the writer says the real
merits Of the situation, hazed in con-
fiicting reports, biased by divergent in
ated standpoints, is not to be clearly
Understood at a distance.
Mr.. Mullen reaches the conclusion
that the Berlin treaty is an utter fail
ure and without surrendering an iota
of American prestige or right in the
islands, for failing 20 maintain the
rights OF the people the United States
should put an end to an arTangemenI
under which a farce is Derpetrated,
from which no credit ensues.
The report contains abundant infor-
NATION regarding Samoa and its in
terests. some of the figures being rather
surprising. It's entire trade in 1894
amounted to less than s750.000; the to-
tad government and municipal revenue
was less than $4,000, of which thirty
two Americans registered at the con-
sulate paid but 1851; customs dues We're
$27. 500. The population of the island is
estimated at $4,000; Apia. the principal
town, has 626 inhabitants and is with
out a wharf, a public school, a. fire en-
gire or a foot of sidewalk

GREELEY DlSAGREES.
His Ideas as to hansen and His Ex-
DedifiOn


EXETER, N. H, Aug 16-Brigadier-
General A W. Greedy, in an interview to-
night, in regard to the Nansen expedi-
ton. said that the reports thus far pub
lished were, as yet, too meagre to form
an opinion. General Greedy said:
According to the reports, land reach
ed by my expedition is the most norther-
ly land yet attained. AS Nansens most
northern point is at sea, he went just two
degrees and % minutes further north
than did Lockwood and Brainard of my
expedition in 1882.
General Greeiy said that notwithstand-
ing Nansen's report of an ocean to the
pole, recent deductions show that there
is land near that point, but that it is
north of North America rather than ST.
IBERIA. Continuing, General Greedy said:
Apparently Nansen travelled only 40
miles from where he abandoned his ship.
This is less than half the distance that
Lockwood and Brainard Travelled from
the headquarters Of my expedition at Lady
Franklin bay. think that the expedition
will disappoint those who believe that
Franz Josef Land extended to the pole
AS to the PROBABILITY OF The Fra. t.
ing to Spitzenbergen, DR.. Greedy said that
the sea drift was in that direction but
that the jeanette and Tegethopp were
both lost in this sea by the action of the

1yHE TRANsvAAL TREATY.

LONDON, Aug. 16.-Mr. Joseph Cham
berlain. secretary OF state for the colo
nies, was questioned today regarding the
statement made by the Sunday Sun, to
the effect that theTransvaal had entered
into a treaty with a foreign power con-
trary to the Anglo-Boer treaty of 1888,
and that Great Britain had demanded an
explanation from the Boer government
Mr.. Chamberlain said the colonial office
did not attach Importance to the news.
Mr. Chamberlain will invite Mr.. Cecil
Rhodes to testify before the parliament

the administration of the British South
Africa company and into the origin of
the incursion into the Transvaai by an
armed force Mr.. Rhodes will probably
be the first witness.

Notwithstanding the recent showers,

crop that was sold in May and June for

CAUGHT A STILL.
Revenue officers Make Big Haul in
Nebraska.


BEATRICE, Neb.. Aug. 16.-Revenue
officers descended on the home of John
Rowanski, a resident of this section for
many years, and arrested him on the
charge of operating a still. In the base
ment of the house was found the rem
nants of a distilling plant. The accused
made no defense, admitted having made
fruit brandies. but claimed he never
sold any. This is refuted by che offic
ers, who claim to have evidence show
ing how and where he sold his product.
Rowallski has always been a puzzle to
the local police, who observed that he
never toiled, but apparently lived in
good circumstances.
In addition to the still was found bot
ties labeled with the different names of
fruit.
