WEARING OF UNIFORMS.
Opinion of the Attorney General of
Interest to Army Officers.

WASHINGTON, July 25.-An echo of the
Cars coronation, which led to so much
correspondence on such subjects as diplo-
matte uniforms, court procedure and mat
tiers of precedence in official ceremonies is
found in an opinion just rendered by the
attorney general touching the respective
rights of volunteer and regular army and
navy officers to wear the uniforms of the
highest rank which they attained during
the rebellion. Col. John ]. McCook who
represented the United States army, and
capt g. H. Wadleigh the representative
OF the United States navy at the corona
tlon, had some difficulty over the question
OF precedence, growing out of the fact that
McCook claimed the fead by virtue of his
high volunteer rank as shown by his uni
army officer, and the State Department was
obliged TO call on the War and Navy de-
partmentS for their construction of the
statute granting officers the right to bear
the rank and wear the uniform of their
highest volunteer rank. The direct issue
was presented in a recent application of
James L. Farrell, breVet major of United
states volunteers and late captain of the
Fifth New York Heavy Artillery. The two
departments were unable to agree on the
matter and it was referred to the attorney
general. The latter has decided that only
ex-of1cers may wear such uniforms and
bear such rank. In other words, no officer
at present on the army rolls can wear the
who were honOrably mustered out of the
volunteer service and who have no army
connection now may wear it on occasions
of ceremony This is in line with the
former construction given to the law by
the War Department, but it appeared that
the practice was about to be reversed,
which would have been severe blow to
many thousands of volunteer officers.

NOT YET CONQUERED.
Natives of the Philippine Islands still
Fighting Standards.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 25.-Among the
passengers ON the steamer China, from the
Orient was II. G.. Levinsohn, the repre-
sentative in New Zealand of one of the
largest cigar factories in Manila. Mr.. Lew
insohn has just come from Manila, where
he says the instruction Of the natives is
still in progress. From present indications
and from what could learn during my So
journ in Manila" he said the Spanish
authorities will never be able to subdue the
insurrectionists. 1t is Il common report in
Manila that the papers are not allowed to
print the truth. They are all under, a press
censorship. 1t was credbly reported in the
city shortly after recent engagement that
the natives had killed sixty of the Span
ish soldiers and lost only two of their
number As soon as the rainy weather sets
in, which will be very shortly, you may
have some further reports of hostilities, and
the victories will be all on the side of the
rebels. A regiment of Spanish soldiers
came into Manila from the interior during
my stay in the city, and they were the
saddest lot of men | ever saw. Some of
them wore shoes and others did not. Many
were without hats and were more or less
distressed for the want of proper clothing
and food"

It is one of the doctrines of organized labor
that whenever one set of men begin to do
labor, the work becomes scab work The
miners of southern Kansas are union men.
AS long as they mine coal for Kansas and
territory which they have been accustomed
to supply. they are occupying neutral
ground and are not interfering. When they
mine coal to be used in territory usually
supplied by miners who are striking, they
become in the eyes of organized labor what
we call scabs. 1t makes no difference if
the Burlington coal. which was transferred
in Kansas City few@1ays ago. was for the
use of the Burlington or to be furnished to
other railroads. If ii Is used by the Bur
lington in territory that has been supplied
from points in Illinois, where there is a
strike, the coal was nonunon coal as soon
as il got into strike territory

NEW YORK, July 25.-Prince Takehito
Arisugawa and his suite left this city to-
night at o'clock for Vancouver by way of
Montreal, where they will take the steamer
Empress of Japan on Aug. for Japan.
The prince spent tie day quietly, passing

riages and were driven up Fifth avenue,
through Central Park and up Riverside

Talk with Joseph Ladue, Who Has
Returned from the kIOndil<e.

PLATTSBURG, N. Y, July 25.-Joseph'
Iadue who owns the townsite of Dawson
City, Alaska, and struck it rich on the
Klondike, arrived here yesterday morning.
Mr. Laude was born and raised here, and
the people of Plattsburg are very proud
of him. 1t was reported to-day that the
New Yorker had come back home for a
bride. but this he emphatically denied The
notoriety which the papers have given him
is not pleasing to Ladue. 1t required
bushel basket to carry the mail which had
accumulated here for him during the last
week. The letters were from all parts of
the country Mr.. Ladue said that he APP
piled for town site patent for Dawson
City in 1896 1t is located on the Yukon,
seventy-five miles from the Alaskan from
tier and consequently is on Canadian soil
When he left Dawson City it had popula-
ton of $780, which he thinks has aug
mented to 1900 during the month he has
been travelling. Dawson, he said, is laid oat
on modern lines, with siXty-six-foot ave-
nues and fifty-foot streets. The buildings
are built in a substantial manner, logs and
lumber being principally used in their con-
structiOn number of tWO-StOry buildings
are now going up. 1t is, he said, regula-
ton mining town, with all that implies:
Asked as to the richness of the Klondike
anv late reports, but 1t is pretty hard to
exaggerate it. individuals may have exag-
gerated as to the amounts they nave taken
out but as to the wealth of the country
the reports generally are correct. / believe
the largest amount taken out by one per-
son was SS1 600 brought out by Frank
Physcator of Washington. About s., 10000
have come out and at that ratio II IS falr
to assume that fifteen million will be pro-
duced by the same mines during the winter.
THE extent of the craze and quest for
riches continued Mr.. Ladue. may be
Judged from the fact that gold was dis
covered in September last anu that ALREADY
800 claims are staked within radius or
twenty miles of Dawson City. There Is no
each year is required to hold a claim
Failing in this the land reverts TO the gov
eminent The laws of Canada are stringent
i'm such matters and severe penalties are
imposed for jumping or other interference
with the rights Of claimants Each claim
is five hundred feet along the creek, eX-
tending to the foothills on either side.
Asked if he was correctly quoted in adj
vising people not to go until spring, Mr..
Tadue said: Yes Ii IS too late TO go in
now. The gold fields are located LOO miles
ND the Yukon river. If many people go in
in will be impossible to get provisions there
i'm sufficient quantities. Next spring Will be
be lost by the delay. The truth or the
richness of this country has not been half
told and no one can eXaggerate the prob
able wealth to be found there.

NOT BY LIGHTNING.
Evidence that Miss Barrett KILLED
Herself just as an Electric Bolt Fell.

BOSTON, July 25 - During a heavy
thunderstorm, Saturday, bolt of lightning
struck the three-story brick building at No.
40 Kilby street, setting it on fire. When the
tiremen forced their entrance into the Of
fee of w. S. & j. Goldman, real estate
brokers' on the third floor, they were hor-
rified to find the dead body of the firm S
bookkeeper, Miss Alice Barrett, lying on
the floor, her death being naturally attrib-
uted to the lightning. 1t now appears that
the young woman was not killed by the
bolt, but that her life was ended by bull
let by her own hand. A revolver was found
lying by her side. A singular feature of the
case is that she should nave fired the fatal
shot at the exact moment of the terrific
peal of thunder, which completely drowned
the noise of the weapon. Miss Barrett it is
said had accumulated $500 or 81 ,000 which
she had lent to an acquaintance, who lost
it in speculation She worried over her loss
and it preyed upon her mind. She was TWEEN
ty-three years Old and lived with her
mother and two brothers at Waltham. She
was a member of the Unitarian Church and
was greatly interested in charitable Work.

The Drug Habit in England.

LONDON, July 25.-The increase of the
drug habit in England has impelled the
British Association, composed of the medical
bodies OF this country. to recommend to
Parliament to include drug drinkers in the
act now passing through Parliament, giving
power for the compulsory detention of ha-
bitual drinkers. : is the first time that
the gravity of the drug vice has been thus
admitted by the profession here. The COM
mission is SO deeply impressed with the
growth of the vice that it advises the es-
adjustment of special houses of detention
for it's victims at different stages of the
disease. The restriction on the sale Of
drugs is so lax here that they amount to
nothing, and this trade now forms one of
the most profitable of the chemists in the
fashionable parts of London.

FAST TORPEDO BOATS.
Americans Will Build Three Forty
knotters for Argentina.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Three fortyknot
torpedo boats are to be built in this coun-
try for a South American government.
The order has been placed with the Ord
rance Company, of Bridgeport, Conn. The
president of the company is Charles r.
Flint, of this city. When questioned on the
subject to-day he admitted that such con-
tract had been made, and said that work
on the engines had already begun at the
Bridgeport shops. The destination of these
speedy crafts is said to be the Argentine
Republic. The task of obtaining forty
knot speed is reckoned a herculean one.
If obtained it will be the highest for any
any water craft in the world

REJECTED BY THE DIET.
DIR. Miguel Forced to Abandon the
Law of Associations Bill.

Law of Associations Bill.
BERLIN, July 25.-Probably not since the
days of Prince Bismarck has there been
such an important sitting of the lower
house Of the Prussian Diet as was that of
Saturday. In order to understand the i'm
portance Of the division taken in the house
it must be remembered that the lower house
of the Diet does not contain a single Social
list member, and therefore the law of the
associations bill was rejected on its merits
by "a body of men who, although Radicals
are as patriotic and loyal as the trainers of
the measure. Concerning the attitude of
the public it is sufficient to say that the
crowd only cheered the arrival of mem
berS we'll known as resolute opponents of
the bill. The speeches of the government
members were as spiritless al though de-
livered over bill already practically dead.
DIR. MIGUEL regretfully abandoned it to its
fate and occupied himself in sketching his
future policy which, briefly, is a policy of
compromise between the great political par
ties. The general comment is that only
Bismarck could have pushed such a bill
through, and the outlook is not promising
for the Emperor's new man. DR.. MIGUEL
said he believed the government will not
dare to dissolve the chamber, for fear that
an appeal to the country will still further
reduce their majority.
