MUST GRANGE THEIR UNIFORMS
Military Code Of Illinois Forbids the
Usa OF Military Trappings.

CHICAGO, June 49, 1S97-The American
Volunteers. Ballington Booths religious
organization, will be compelled to change
their uniforms because of the enactment
OF the military code of Illinois by the
last Legislature Policemen will not be-
permitted to wear overcoats fashioned arr
ter those worn by army officers, the
CIan-na-Gael guards will be disbanded,
Captain Thomas J. Ford's famous Chic
ago Zouaves will be forced out of exist
ence, the Aurora Zouaves will cease to be,
the Chicago Huzzars will be required to-
drop their military trappings, while boys
brigades and semi-military companies
throughout the State will be disbanded or
the members fined or imprisoned.
All of these things are owing to the
provisions of article H. of the Military
Code, now law having received the sig-
nature Of Governor Tanner For a long
time the officers of the National Guard
have been trying to secure an enactment
which should prevent the indiscriminate
wearing of the uniform and the carrying
of arms by Independent military organiza-
tions Now that the law has gone into
effect it is found that it is more sweeping
in it's effect than even it's trainers antici-
pated.
The most striking feature of the Ameri-
can Volunteers is the uniform which Isl
modelled closely after that of the army
while the officers wear the shoulder
straps of the army. in a modified form.
This modification is only in color, how
ever, the rank designation being Identical.

OPPOSED TO AUTONOMY
One Point Of Agreement Be-
tween Castillo and CASTELAR,
Will Weyler Be
Reealled2

[By Cable to The Associated Press.1
LONDON, June 20. 1.-THE "Pall Mall
Gazette" this morning prints the follow
ing despatch from its correspondent at
Madrid
Public attention is engrossed by the
appointment of General Stewart L. Wood
ford tas United States Minister to SPAIN.
While the Government continues to re-
pudiate the intention of recalling General
Weyler, | am in a position to reiterate
that his recall will be an accomplished
fact at no distant date. I learn that in
all probability Generals Blanco and
Macias will proceed to the island and
divide the supreme command, and I have
good reason to believe that, coincident
with the arrival here of General Wood
ford, Marshal Campos will proceed upon
his separate mission to Cuba.
In accordance with the wishes of Presi-
dent Mckinley, Campos should be the
executor of any arrangements possibly
reached between Spain and the United
States. Indications do not point to any
arrangements being reached with the
United States, and intimate friends of
Senior del Castillo (the Spanish Premier)
declare the Premier will strenuously OPP
pose autonomy CASTELAR, (the Liberal
leader is also opposed to anything of the
kind. They both consider that such con-
maintain Spanish sovereignty.
1.-THE report that the United States will
insist upon autonomy and the withdrawal
of the Spanish troops and that otherwise
it will intervene by force If necessary,
does not make for peaceful solution
and the position is regarded throughout
Spain with considerable anxiety.

NAVAL RESERVE DRILLS.

:, WASHINGTON, June 20, 1ss7.-ActinR
Secretary Roosevelt has practically COM
pleted the programme for the summer
drills of the Naval Militia so far as the
Navy Department is connected with the
movements. After consultation with Ad-
miral Sicard commanding the North At
lantic Station, it has been ordered that
the vessels of the squadron be assigned to
the different militia organizations as fol-
loWS:-
The battleship MASSACHUSETTS, will drill
the Massachusetts militia, starting from
Boston; then with the Maine and Ericsson
the same battleship will drill the militia
of New York. The Texas will assist with
the militia of Connecticut and of New
Jersey; the Wilmington will take the
North Carolina militia and the Mont
gomery the militia of Louisiana. The
Cincinnati, which just started home from
Horta, will take care of the Maryland
militia, starting from colchester, July II,
and to this end her orders have been
changed SO that she will come directly to
Hampton Roads instead of New York. All
of the naval militia of the States border
ing on the lakes will be taken care of by
the Michigan, and Mr.. Roosevelt himself
will attend some of the drills, leaving here
next Friday for Cleveland.

OLD HOSS H0EY DEAD.


The Well known Comedian Passes
Away In Naw Work This Morning.
NEW YORK, June 20, 1887 William F.
Hoey, who was known in theatrical cir
cles as "Old Hoss,'' and who was one
of the funniest mirth provokers that ever
looked across the footlights, died at his
home, No. 201 West 123d street, at seven
clock this morning.
For years his quaint mannerisms and
seemingly inexhaustible humor have
made his name famous the world over.
were recognized in in Vaudeville van lev as 'i musical @
comedians, and Niles and Evans as dude
comedians. The French Sisters, Minnie
and Lena, were popular song and dance
artists, and all six played at the same
time in Hyde & Behmans Theatre, in
Brooklyn. They made a hit in a nonsen-
sical sketch called The Book Agent" in
which Evans impersonated the book
vender and Hoey an ubiquitous tramp,
who stole everything in sight.

Lena for his better half.
The success of the "Parlor Match" was
situations delighted thousands of play
goers in both hemisDheres. The come
dians never let the humor flag nor did
it ever SAVIOR of staleness, as they were
continually injecting new life and fun
into it,
Hoey's musical training added not a
little to his success and h1SWonGerful
makeup and seemingly endless assort-
ment of costumes made his appearance at
any time on the stage the signal for
peals of laughter from the audiences.
While delivering his lines, Hoey would
appear to be in the most serious mood
and this in itself increased the fun
One scene which was considered by
many to be Hoey's best was after he had
carried a number of useless articles out of
a house. he confiscated the dog and wound
up by carrying a stove, out of the pipe
of which flames were pouring.
4 Off the stage he was a devil-may-care
character, cool and courageous, and took
life as it came.
Once when a passenger on board a
steamer which struck rock off the Eng
lish coast, Hoey was in the cabin where
several other passengers were laboring
under intense excitement, fearing the ship
would go down. The comedian lifted a
glass of champagne, and holding it high
over his head, proposed the health of the
Captain. There were rouSing cheers
given for the commander and Hoey's
coolness allayed the fears of his fellow
passengers.
When the news of his ill-health became
generally known it cast a gloom over his
thousands of friends.
A shadow of his former self, he ar
rived at his home in this city, few days
ago. His hair and beard were almost
white and his limbs Swithered. 1t was
only too evident that the end was near
at hand and that Hoey had cracked his
last Joke

the United States Monetary Commission,
consisting of Senator Edward Q. Wolcott

Charles Jackson Paine of Massachusetts,
which will arrive here in a few days.
The Commission, according to the
National Review will present to the

claring their "desire to terminate the
disastrous experiments inaugurated in 1873
and claiming our good will and active
concurrence" The National Review
adds
I'VE are able to announce that Eng

is willing to reopen the Indian mints, to
make further substantial contribution
to the rehabilitation of silver by extending
it's use in England, by increasing the legal
tender of silver making silver the basis

THE BLOCKADE OF CRETE


1t Is Only Directed Against Christians
Moslems Allowed to DO as They Please.
CANEA, March 2l.--According to the
proclamation issued by the foreign ad-
mirals, the blockade of Crete began at
eight o'clock this morning. 1t is ap-
parent that the blockade is directed
solely against the Christians in the
interior and that the Moslems will
suffer little Inconvenience from
the action of the six great
Christian nations of Europe. 1t APP
pears that the object of the blockading
squadron is to prevent the landing of
supplies of food, clothing, etc, destined
for the starving Christians in the in
terror, while the Mussulmans who have
tlocked to the coast towns are allowed
to land whatever they want.
The few Christians remaining here
find it difficult to understand the mo-
tives that are prompting the powers to
exert their strength to crush the Chris
tian population of the island, while the
Moslems are given free hand to do
about as they please. About the only
hope of the Christians outside the
coast towns is in Greek blockade run
ners, who will not hesitate to run
through the Gordon of foreign war
ships around the island.
There was an exchange of shots yes
terday between insurgents and Mos
lens in the vicinity of Suda bay. The
Turkish war ships in the bay bonn
barded the insurgents, but the result is
not known. A number of foreign war
ships were in the bay, but they took no
part in the firing.

CUMBERLAND, Nd, March 24.-Ten
persons were injured and one killed in a
wreck on the Baltimore & Ohio railroad
near Oakland yesterday morning.
Train No. 2, from Cincinnati and St.
Louis was derailed. Three sleepers,
two day coaches and the postal car
left the track. One sleeper rolled
down the embankment and into the
Youghiogheny river. The balance OF
the train remained on the bridge, or
doubtless the casualties would have
been much greater. There We're IS
persons in the car which rolled into the
river, all of whom escaped with trifling
injuries except two.
Gen. J.. s. Fullerton, of st. Louis, a
Union veteran of Chickamauga fame,
was killed. The sleeper in which his
section was located was submerged.
Fifty men searched the river all day,
but were unable to find the body.
The current is so swift at the point
where the accident occurred that it, is
believed the corpse has been carried
down the stream. A reward for its
recovery has been offered by the rail-
road company.

FORMALLY NOTIFIED
by the Representatives of the Six
Signatory Powers
Or the blockade OF Cretan Ports, 1t Re-
mains an Open Question Whether the
United States VIII Give Its Assent
to the Form OF Blockade Proclaimed.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The repre-
sentatives in Washington of the six
powers signatory of the Berlin treaty,
treat Britain, France, Italy, Germany,
Austrla-liungary and Russia, have in
concert notified this government of the
blockade OF Crete, the respective notes
OF Sir Julian Pauncefore, NJ. Pate
notre, Baron Fava, Baron Won Thiel-
man, Mr.. Hengle Muller Won Henger-
var and Mr.. Kotzebus having been
delivered to Secretary Sherman yes
terday. They were almost identi-
cal, and consisted of a mere formal
announcement of blockade Cretan
ports against ships under the Greek
flag, commencing at nine o'clock yes-
terday morning. Merchant vessels of
neutral powers including those of the
United States and of the treaty pow
ers, while subject to overhauling by
the blockading war ships of the con-
ccrtlng fleets, are not to be disturbed
In their ordinary commercial occupa-
tions If they carry no merchandise in
tended for the use of the Greeks or in
surgents on the island.
1t is question whether this govern
ment will give its assent to this form
OF blockade which involves grave de-
parture in international law, and
would establish a precedent abolish
ing rights that the United States might
not desire to surrender.
There is little or no likelihood of an
American vessel attempting to run the
| Cretan blockade, for the Stars and
Stripes on merchant vessels in the
Mediterranean is practically unknown.
An indication of this is given in the
records of the Suez canal, the Amer-
can flag having passed that highway
only three times in 1895, on two private
yachts and one man-of-war, while in
1896 not a single vessel showed her flag
in the canal. This year, the passage
OF the cruiser Detroit, early next
month, will probably be the only oc-
casion for showing the American colors
| in the Red sea. Around Crete an Amer
can ship is rarer than at Suez. Never
theless if the United States should
even tacitly consent to being kept out
of Crete, where there is no proclaimed
| condition OF war, any more than there
is in Cuba at the present time, such ac-
ton, it is anticipated by those familiar
with international precedents, may cs-
tablish an untoward precedent in rea-
tion to countries were American COM
merce is immeasurably more impor-
tant and where American merchant
| flags are more numerous.
