He Was Gallant Officer and Had
Five BreVets Given Him.

Lieut.. Col. Reuben F. Bernard, 9th Cav
airy, placed the retired list today
by operation of law on account of age.
This officer has a most remarkable record.
He is a native of Tennessee. He entered
the army as a private in February, 1855.
and became lieutenant colonel of the 9th
Cavalry in July, 1892 meanwhile having re-
ceived five brevets, two for meritorous ser
vices during the civil war and three for
gallant services in actions against the In
dians. His last brevet was as brigadier
general for gallant conduct at Chiricahua,
Ariz., in 1869, and at Silver Pass and Birch
Greek, Ore, in 1878. :.
His retirement causes the promotion of
Maj. James F. Randlett. 9th Cavalry, to the
grade of lieutenant colonel. Col. Randlett
is another cne of the heroes of the war
He entered the service in August, 1861, as
captain of the Sd New Hampshire Volun-
teers, and was honOrably mustered out as
a lieutenant colonel of volunteers in July,
1853. In June, 1867, he was appointed cap
tain of the :'gth Infantry, ard has been
major of the 9th Cavalry since July 3, 1886.
Most of his service, since he entered the
regular establishment, has been on the
frontier. He is now in command of Fort
Dushane, Utah, and in addition, is acting
agent for the Ctntah and Uncompagre

Reports of Officers Show the Legion
to Be in Good Condition.
THE A NUAL ARAD E

The threatening aspect Of the weather
apparently exercised no deterrent effect
upon those who desired to witness the pa
rade of the Union Veteran Legion this
afternoon, If the crowds that sought the
sidewalks along the line of march and
gathered thickly in the vicinity Of the
rendezvous at Washington Circle may be
taken as an indication. Old and young
alike were out early in order to secure
the best positions from which to view the
procession, while the small boys of both
colcrs and all shades awaited with eager
ness the warning starting tap of the drum
which would be the signal for them, too, to
march to the music of the bands in a
merry and motley mass. The old soldiers
belonging to the various encampments Of
the legion were as much interested almost
in the prelimnaries as the crowd that
sprsid over the sidewalks and stretched
out on the concrete.
They were particularly pleased with the
appearance of the 9th Cavalry, which re-
called to them the stirring days Of a third
or century ago, and watched with keen
interest the movements Of the squadron.
where every man and animal seemed obe-
dent parts Of congenial whole The reg
ular artillery excited almost as much admi-
ration, and the marines, with their spleu-
did band inspired hearty compliments from
those In whose honor they were out with
full ranks.

s. S. Sumner of the 9th Cavalry, and un-
der his experienced eye the arrangements
made heretofore for the formation and

SAN FRANCISCO, October 14.-Baron
Nicolas A. Grebnitzky, governor of the
Russian fur seal islands. Is here on his way
to Washington, D. c., where he intends to
present through the Russian ambassador
the form Of a new treaty governing the seal
trade between his country and the United
States.
He said: Il am sorry to say that our seal
rookeries are falling off very noticeably.
Every year the seal life Of the islands is
diminishing. This is principally owing to
the work of the poachers, who encroach on
our limits continually. With the small
force at my disposal. and only the occa-
sional assistance of two Russian war ships,

but all our work seems to. be Intellectual.
Next year l intend to establish complete
patrol. We have a thirty mile treaty limit
with England, and one object of my visit
to this country is to try and bring about
some agreement of the same kind with the
United States. The sealing schooners OF
the United States and Canada bother us

Senator German Home Again.

Senator Arthur P. German reached his
home at Laurel yesterday evening from
New York. where he has been since Thurs
day of last week. When asked by The Star
representative if the rumor that he had had
a conference with Senator Edward Murphy,
jr., Of New York, while away, was true,
Mr.. German replied that it was not; that,
in fact, he had not seen the New York
Junior Senator. 1t is reasonably certain,
however. that the Maryland Senator saw
Chairman Danforth, MIR. Sheehan and 9th
er New York leaders. His visit to New
York, 1t is thought. was at the request of
MIR. Danforth. and his frequent visits to
that city of late have increased the belief
that he Is managing the Bryan campaign in
the east. The Senator is still confident of
carrying Maryland for the Bryan ticket.
He will make his first speech in Baltimore
during the present campaign tomorrow
night. Senator Faulkner will also speak at
the same meeting.

The populists and democrats have practi-

to unite on the electoral ticket have been
successful in most cases, and they have ac-

of the states. In very few cases where a
fusion was regarded as Of great conse-

by the populist committee that the populists
will vote almost solidly for Bryan. The

Charges.

Charges.
When William F. Lloyd, young man.
visited Calvary Baptist Church several
months ago, a total stranger, he met
scores of Christian people who were willing
to befriend him and help him in spiritual
as well as temporal affairs. Being only
abe ut twenty-five years old and good look
ing he soon became well liked. and among
these whom he met and was friendly with
was Mr.. William Werntz. a clerk in the
ordnance bureau, Navy Department. On
the first day of June young Lloyd met Mr.
WerntZ and asked him to favor him by
cashing for him cheek for $50, he was
not known at any Of the banks and could
not therefore get any OF them to cash his
paper.
The check purported to contain the sig
nature of E. w. Albaugh, a commission
merchant at "a Light street wharf, Bal
timore, and was drawn on. the First Ma
tional Bank of the monumental city. Mr..
WerntZ, OF course, was accommodat ting,
and he cashed the check only to find that
1t was worthless and was a forgery.
Since then Lloyd has been east as far as
Boston and west as far as Denver. But

tectives Boyd and Helan arrested him.
He had made an engagement to meet a
friend at Sth and H streets near the church

Then he confessed his. guilt, and will be

KANSAS TRIP LIKELY TO Be GIVEN UP
Efforts to Harmonic Anti-McKin-
ley Forces.
CURRENT TPOLITICAL MATTERS

CHICAGO, October 14.-"There seems to
be a wrong impression regarding the action
taken by the populist executive commit
tee" said Senator Marion Butler today.
THE address issued by the committee does
not reflect in any way upon Mr.. Watson,
and it will undoubtedly be approved by him.
Committeeman Reed OF Georgia came di-
rectly here after spending two days with
Mr.. Watson in discussing the situation, and
the policy indicated by our address is en-
tirely approved by him. OF course the sit
uation regards fusion in several Of the
states is not entirely satisfactory to the
committee. Since union of forces is
necessary to win there ought to be a union
ticket. That ticket should be Bryan and
Watson, but We are not going TO divide our
forces.
In Kansas and Colorado where there are
no Watson electors the situation is
pecially unsatisfactory to the committee
and Mr.. Watson. But since the electors in
those states cannot be rediyided and give
the populists representation not
going to turn them over TO Mckinley.
Nothing be done in those states now
that would not endanger the result, and
our address was the best thing that could
be done to unite the silver forces. which is
our duty above all things. If We could
have our way, of course ii would be differ
put up with the existing conditions than
nave those states go for Mckinley
You think, then, that MIR. Watson's
Kansas trip will be abandoned?'
We'll, yes; committee will probably
call on Mr.. Watson to talk over the situa-
tiCn and communicate to him the reasons
that caused the committee TO arrive at
this unanimous conclusion / feel sure
that when the situation is thoroughly eN-
plafned to Mr.. Watson that in The interests
of harmony he will arrive at the same
conclusions that we have"
The members of the populist executive
committee had a conference with Chair
man Jones of the democratic national COM
mittee today to arrange, if possible, for
the completion of fusion arrangements in
Ger gressonal districts where this has not
been brought about. Ii was positively
stated that no further attempt will be
made to effect fusion on the Kansas and
Colorado electoral ticket.
