COMMENT ON SHERMAN.
London Papers All Adopt the Same
Tone.

LONDON, Oct 1.-THE afternoon
papers today take the same view of
Secretary Sherman's latest dispatch to
the Marquis of Salisbury on the seal
ing conference question as expressed
by the morning papers. The ST. James
Gazette says: 1T will be relief if this
transatlantic Polonius is restricted in
the future to playing the fool in his
own home, and the foreign affairs of
his country are transferred into moro
capa BILE hands. But we need not count
on this too confidently. We, ourselves,
allowed an elderly statesman to play
tricks in the national name with ma
tional interests for many a long year"
The ST James Gazette taunts MIR.
Herbert Gladstone with copying Sec
retary Sherman's manner" in speech
yesterday evening, in which Mr.. Glad
stone said that the Venezuelan Ques
ton would not have been peacefully
settled if there had been no United
States concerned, adding that in the
latter case "our sailor lads would have
been sent there and our troops would
have made short work Of the Venezu
elan question. but the United States
appeared on the scene, and the virtues
of arbitration became obviously appar-
ent."

JABBED WITH HIS SWORD.
Hammond Case Report Received by
Secretary AIGer.

WASHINGTON, Oct. H.-Secretary Alger
today received the report of an inquiry, con,
Quoted by Capt. Richards into the alleged
bruta, treatment of Private Hammond oy
Capt Lowering, at Fort Sheridan, some days
ago. Capt. Richards examined number
Of persons, including Capt. Lowering and
Hammond. The testimony of these two wit
nesses, Secreatry Alger says, agree almost
entirely except that Hammond claimed Capt
Lowering kicked, and jabbed him with his
sword more times than the latter admits
also that Hammond declares that the captain
swore at him. which the latter denies The
statement of Capt. Lowering agreed substan-
TALLY with that he has made in published
interviews. The testimony of the other wit
nesses, Secretary Alger says, is mainly cor
roborative of the main facts of the case. Tnat
of the surgeon, who made an examination
of Hammond, was to the effect. that there
were some very slight wounds, but not nearly
as serious as the prisoner Gained. Col
Hail. the commander at Fort Sheridan, prac-
tically endorses the action taken by Capt:
Lowering in the case. Secretary Alger had
a consultation with the president about the
matter today and will consult further with
him about it tomorrow. Gen. Miles, COM
manding the army, took the report home with
him this evening for the purpose of reading
it over and giving his opinion on the sub
ject to Secretary Alger.

MINNIE's RELIGION.
More Aid Needed n in Taking the
Census Saturday


Only about LOCO of the enumerators for the
religious census to fbe taken in Minneapolis
next Saturday have, been secured. At least
1900 are necessary, and Hugh Cork who has
had the canvass in hand is very anxious that
the full number be obtained. If there are any
members of the churches who can spare an
hour or two during the day, their help will
be greatly appreciated. tThey should report
to the chairmen in the different headquarters
as early as possible on Saturday.
In addition to the enumerators, at least sew
enty-five more boys, who are good bicyclists
are wanted to report at Plymouth Congrega-
tional church. where George H. Emery will
be waiting to receive them and instruct them
in their duties. They are to carry reports
back and forth from the central station to
the chairmen in the, different substations
The committee has arranged to give them a
good dinner at restaurant.
The arrangements, outside of these details,
for the taking of the census are about COM
pleted, and 1t is expected that the census will
be completed easily and quickly. The city
has never before been stirred in religious
circles as in this effort. Other cities are look
ing with interest to see the results of the CEN
SuS.

die having agreed upon Plan of internation-

Canada and Mexico The report sent out to
the effect that Grand Master Arthur of the
Brotherhood of Engineers, had blocked the
conference during his visit here Wednesday,
has no foundation. The federation idea mas
not heen Endorsed in convention by his organi-
cation, so that he had no voice in the confer
ence and no authority to act had he been In 1t.
He had nothing whatever to do with the
federation conference, but came TO atteho
five railroad brotherhoods, to discuss desired
legislation.

aroused untold anxiety in business cir
cles, which has been voiced in the let
ter Of protest signed by a majority of
the leading men of the city, expressing
their grave objections to any move
ment by the government in the direc-
tion Of bimetallism." In conclusion the
article says: 1T is inconceivable that
the government should prove fatuous
enough to yield to the Yankee silver
agitators without consulting and TAX
ing the weighty advice of the business

that of the three cities. The heat at all
points was increased by strong south to
southeast wind which felt as though it came
directly from furnace. Out in Kansas, CON
cordia was the warm spot, 80 being reached

of this kind, was well up, with hot wind
