ing at Fort sheridan.
Chicago, Oct 1S.-Secretary of War
Alger, bent upon finding out all about
the Lowering Hammond scandal at Fort
sheridan, has decided not to depend on
army office reports or newspaper sto-
ries-he will himse.f come to Chicago
ana will conduct - systematic over
hauling of Fort Sheridan. This was de-
cided upon Saturday at Washington, at
which time sealed orders were drawn IN
ana mailed to Major General Brooke at
chicago. General Brooke is now in the
city, having returned from Fort Sheri-
dan, where he reviewed the government
troops on dress parade.
Il will not discuss the Lowering af-
fair" said the general.
And nothing could induce the doughty
old warrior to break his promise.
The reason General Brooke will not
talk about the Lowering case" said a
bright young man who could see no
benefit in keeping silent, "is that the
LoNering case is completely out of his
hands and as there is nothing for him
10 DO In the premises he can see nothing
to he said"
An all-perVading silence kept guard
at army headquarters in the Pullman
Duiloing when ii became known that
sealed orders had been sent. Then on
the heels Of the order came word from
the national capital that General Alger
had decided to come to Chicago. IL
was given out at the war department
that the secretary's visit meant a tour
OF inspection of various army posts. but
Knowing ones said it meant that the
biggest fort of the tour would be the
fort presided over by Colonel Hall.
This means court-martial." said n
gentleman who has followed the case
from the moment it was first known
mat Captain Lowering had prodded Pri-
Vate Hammond with a sword and had
him dragged by the heels across a stony
field.
Washington. Oct. 1S-Secretary AIger
Saturday. after a further consultation
with the president and with General
Miles. issued an order to General Brooke
at Chicago in relation to the case Of
captain i. "A. Lowering. Fourth infan-
try who is charged with the ill-treat-
ment OF Private Hammond at Fort Sher-
idan. The order is withheld from pub
lication until it reaches General Brooke
but ii is believed that il directs the trial
OF the officer by court-martial.

ARREST OF ELI SHAW.
He Is Charged with Numbering His Mother
and Grandmother.


Camden, N. j., Oct. 1S.-Eli Shaw was
taken into custody by the police officials
Friday afternoon and formally charged
with the murder of his neither, Mrs.
Sarah Shaw, and grandmother, Mrs.
Emma Zane, which occurred in this city
on Tuesday morning last. The arrest
was based on newly discovered evidence,
including the finding of a revolver, of
which two chambers had been fired, al
the bottom Of a chimney. The pistol
was thrown into the chimney through a
stove hole in the room in the third
story, which had been occupied by
Shaw. The police also discovered upon
close examination Of the floor of Shaw's
room several blood prints. Shaw was
found at the home of a cousin, enter
tanning his sweetheart, whom he was to
have married Saturday.
When charged with the crime Shaw
protested innocence, and in answer to
the question as to the ~--'nership of the
revolver, said it belor%d to him. He
was then told Of the blood spots on the
floor of his room. He grew pale and
reeled against the side Of his cell. talk
ing incoherently. Prosecutor Jenkins
rigidly cross-examined Shaw for three
hours and a half. When he left Shaw's
cell the prosecutor stated he felt sure he
had the right man. The motive for the
crime, he said. was doubtless a desire
on the part Of Shaw to inherit the prop
erty belonging TO his grandmother and
mother, in order TO be married.

Politicians Believe the Contest Is Between
TracY and Van WYck

AidNS van w ycks
New York, Oct. 1S.-With but one moro
Cay of registration to be recorded Of the
four days allowed for the inscribing Of
the names Of voters, the indications are
that approximately 100000 ballots will
be cast at the first election in the new
municipality of New York. The regis
tration is likely to be somewhat less
than that for the presidential election
last year; in fact, that Of the present
cities of New York and Brooklyn should
be increased 10000 Saturday to equal
the figures of 1896.
In Tammany precincts there is full
er registration than in other sections of
this city, which is taken as an indca-
tion that the regular Democratic or
ganization, which Tamany processes to
be, is working with all its might to
bring out votes to counteract possible
defections to Henry George. The events
Of the last forty-eight hours seem to
indicate that General Tracy is gaining
strength and not a few acute politicians

SOME FIGURES ON SEALS.
DIR. David Starr Jordan Corrects an Error
Made by Others.

Minneapolis, Oct. 1S-Dr. David Starr
Jordan, en- route to the international
sealing conference, corrects an error into
which ex-Minister Phelps and others
seem 10 have fallen when they com
mended a thirtymile closed zone for
sealing around islands belonging to the
United States. He says a sixty-mile
closed zone is already into effect.
AS matter of fact, the strictest
regulations governing the American
herd have been of no avail. The natural
increase Of the breeding herd is about
per cent Since 1885 the American
herd has fallen from Coz. 900 breeding
females to 10000; the Russian herd
from 100000 to about $4,000; the Kurile
herd from about 10000 to 1,2OO-that
part of it now belonging to Japan now
numbering three females, as against 25,-
900 formerly. The sole cause of decline
mas been in all cases the same-the in
discriminate killing of females. For
this great international crime two ma
tions are solely responsible. They are
Great Britain and the United States.
"One great obstacle to the success of
negotiations in the past is the fact that
we nave never come into any conference
with clean hands. American hands
have destroyed one-third of our own
herd. which once had cash value Of
$25,OOO,OOO, and more than half the de-
vastation of other herds has been due
to American enterprise We have al
lowed our pirates to destroy the seal
herds of ourselves and our neighbors
just as we allow squatters to burn off
our forests to improve the feed for their
sheep. If nations were as honest and
just In their dealings as private citi-

versy could be settled in a day. And

women are assured humane treatment.

BRITISH CABINET MEETS.
Lord Salisbury Presides at the Regular
Autumn Session.

London, Oct. 1S.-The British cabinet
Saturday morning held it's first autumn
meeting at the foreign office. The pre-
mier, Lord Salisbury, presided. The
meeting lasted two hours. 1t is under
stood that the question of re-opening
the Indian mints for the coinage of sill
yer was not decided but it is added,
the matter was discussed and will
shortly form the subject of further COM
munications between the chancellor Of
the exchequer, Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, and the United States monetary
commission.
In addition to discussing the silver
question, it is understood that the cab
met ministers were in deliberation up
on the Anglo-Frenc situation In west
Africa and in reviewing the Cretan ar
rangements. In spite of the statement
that the question of the reopening of
the Indian mints for the coinage Of sill
yer will form the subject OF further
communication between the chancellor
Of the eXchequer and the United States
monetary commission, it is believed
that the British government has
reached the decision not to enter into
an international monetary conference.
Further meetings with the American
commissioners will be held simply be-
cause they were previously arranged,
as cabled last week.
In regard to India, II may be regard
ed as certain that the mints will not
be reopened at present. or until the In

POSTAL THIEF GETS $4,000.
Mysterious Loss of a Registered Mail
Pouch at Council Bluffs.

Pouch at Council Bluffs.
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 1S.-The country
surrounding Omaha for a distance of
100 miles is swarming with detectives
looking for the thief who got package
containing $4,000 Thursday from the
transfer depot, Council Bluffs. The
money was sent from Chicago to Salt
Lake bank. The package was placed
in the registered pouch at Chicago
and reached Council Bluffs Thursday
afternoon at 2:40 o'clock on the Bur-
lington fast mail. The pouch was in the
special care of Postal Agent Thomas
Pheney of Council Bluffs. He delivered
IL to Postal Clerk c.. Il. u. Brill on the
Union Pacific and took his receipt for
IL. For some reason that has not yet
been explained this postal clerk neg
lected to enter the number and usual
descriptive marks Of the pouch on his
book, and he has nothing to show that
il ever came into his possession.
There are many opportunities for such
a theft to have been committed at the
transfer. The two trains stand side by
side while the mail is being transferred
from one car to the other The space
between the cars is only about foot
and IL is believed the thief crawled in
beneath the trains and watched his op-
