LONG CHASE AFTER PEACE.
The Czar's Manifesto Recalls a Con-
gress Held 48 Years Ago,

An interesting paragraph appeared
last week i'm the "Frankfurter Zeit-
ung" i'm reference To the Cars peace
manifesto. An old Frankfurter writes:
1T is an interesting coincidence thai
exactly on August 20 forty-eight years
ago. the same day on which the peace
manifesto OF the Gar appeared. here
in Frankfort -on-the- Maine a peace
congress was held in the Church OF st.
Paul. which was attended by between
six and eight hundred people OF all ma
tionalities." htH
rhe leaders of this meeting were
many OF them celebrated men, among
them being Richard Golden. French
Protestant clergymen, such as Coque-
lin, Cormenin, the celebrated American
Elihu Burrit. etc. The president OF the
congress was the Minister OF Hesse-
Darinstadt. Herr Jaup. There were al
so "A number of black clergy from
America, full-blooded Africans. and the
son OF an Indian chief was present
who came from Nebraska dressed In
native costume, who was called Ka-
ge-ga-g -ga-buh. He spoke English. In
the speech that he made on August 81,
1850. he assured his audience that all
the American Indians loved peace. and
he. therefore. offered the pipe of peace
to the President Jaup.
Golden spoke, and all the other MEM
bers made speeches I'm their own Ian
guages. the meeting ending with the
most warmly ly-expressed hopes for a
holy peace. The lovers OF peace have
for many years worked with very little
outward results. but the good seed has
not been sown in vain, and in the COM
ing generation there Is much more
striving after peace and goodwill upon
earth than has been the case In Eu-
London Standard.

for reviving military rank above that

The visit of the cruiser Montgomery
| illustrates one OF the duties OF being a
naval man. When not engaged in more
| serious work the naval man and his
house which is TO say his ship, are
available for exhibition purposes. 1t
is one Of the far from unimportant du-
ties of the profession To be on show. In
foreign countries the naval men are
bound to entertain and be entertained
and To show off their ship for the good
of their country and the old Flag. At
home, as is the case OF the Montgom-
cry, the warships are not infreuuently
ordered from port to port Just to give
as many OF the plain people as possible
chance to become acquainted with
their navy. One may believe that this
service is often onerous to the naval
man. He would often rather fight or
cruise i'm a typhoon belt than be the
object OF the well meant attentions of
his fellow citizen from shore. But the
duty is imperative just the same. 1t
is important for navy and it's inter
ests that the people of it's country,
which support it, should become ac-
quainted with II as much as possible.
The antagonism from which the navy
has suffered in past years was largely
due TO the fact that the American peo-
pie had no idea Of what their sailors
We're like. The war was revelation.
II is safe TO say that the great mass of
the so 0O0, 900 people of this land had no
idea that we had the men and the ships
as have demonstrated such unrivalled
efficiency in lighting Spaniards. The
new interest that has been awakened
all over the land In our navy is bound
to work directly To the advantage of
the service and pleasant episodes like
the visit of the Montgomery to our port
contribute to the good feeling which
the people should have toward the SER
vice and devotion to its advancement.

The weakest OF the great interests
in the United States is the merchant
marine. and il seems probable that at
no distant date Congress viii be moved
TO take steps to give TO our shipping
the same measure of protection that
other interests have enjoyed and enjoy
today. Before the Civil War the Amerl-
can merchant fleets rivailed the fleets
of England on every sea where there
was commerce. That was before the
days of many transatlantic liners and
steam freighters. The merchants OF
the United States pay millions every
year To foreign ship owners for car
rying their cargoes. but the greater
part of these sums could be induced 20
go to home shipping interests and so
be retained in our own country.
We think that boards OF trade and
commercial bodies as well as political
conventions have from time to time
taken action on this matter. But that
new life is TO be given TO the move
ment for the protection of American
shipping is indicated by the minutes
recently adopted by the Philadelphia
Board Of Trade. which read as follows:
Whereas. By the action of the Presi-
dent and Of Congress, and through the
skill and valOr OF our army and navy

THE MESSAGE OF PEACE.
The rlost Dramatic Episode in the
War With Spain.

The most dramatic situation of our
arrival of the peace message from the
president at san Juan i'm Puerto Rico,
just before an attack was made. Or
ders had been given 10 advance upon
San Juan. Our troops were soon sent
forward and formed into a firing line,
the artillery unlimbered, the targets
marked and the range calculated. T..
Dart Walker, the special correspondent
for Harper's Weekly, thus describes the
scene:
The Spanish position could be plain
ly noted, and through the glass many
white figures could be seen going to and
from house to the Entertainments with
their arms full of something indistin-
guishable. The deep rumbling of the
moving artillery was all that broke the
silence, even orders being issued in "A
subdued voice. Every line Of the mems
faces was marked with eagerness, and
they went about their work with the
eagerness only born i'm real fighters.

waUer supply at Camp Thomas because
there was typhoid fever there. The Or
der to boil drinking water was generally
obeyed when boilers could be procured.
Major William Cogswell, surgeon of
the Eighth Massachusetts,, said that
when his regiment reached Chattanooga
it was kept in the freight yards fl3
hours, and it took them then four hours
to be transported to the park; that the
men went two weeks without fresh
meat, their
Health Was Thus Greatly Impaired
and a large number were taken sick.
DR.. C0gswell attributed the typhoid to
the water, milk and lemonade drank by
the men. He said that the clothing and
blankets belonging to men who died Of
typhoid were brought back without
having been washed or boiled, and used
by other men Of the regiment. He men
toned other abuses, too degrading to
write, which he said were reported to
the higher authorities without action
being taken.
DR.. Thomas G. Chalmers. captain and
assistant surgeon of the Twelfth New
York, who saw six weeks service in
Porto Rico, testified that at Chicka-
manga his regiment could not only not
get medicines, but could not even get
blanks to make acquisitions, for them.

4 NEW ARMY
Requests of Volunteer Regiments
For Discharge Will Necessi-
tate Change.
President Will Recommend an In.
crease in the Regular
Force.
And the Pressure Upon Congress
men Will Probably Cause
Action.
Troops Wanted Who Will Go
Where Directed Without
Complaint.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 2.-The request Of
the First Colorado infantry to be re-
turned from Manila to the United States
cannot be granted by the war depart,
ment. 1t was stated by officials Of the
army that such requests had been
frequent from soldiers of volunteer or
CARNATIONS, who enlisted to fight but
did not enlist for garrison duty. The
desire Of this regiment to return home
was simply the desire of other volun-
teers and nothing could be done, an Off
Ger said, until congress met and pro
vided some kind Of force to take the
place of the volunteers. The subject Of
reorGanizing the army with a view to
securing an adequate force for the new
possessions of the United States has al
ready received the serious consideration
Of the president, the secretary of wal
and officers of the army.
President VIII Make Recommendations.
The president will make recommendar
tions to congress on this subject, en-
bOdying his views and the views OF
those who are in position to give him
the very best advice. 1t is probable
that he will recommend an increase Of
the army to something like 100, 900 men,
although this is not certain, and he may
think that $4,000 is enough. There has
been some talk also of enlisting for gar
risOn duty two companies or battalion
of natives to each regiment doing garTi-
son duty in Cuba, Porto Rico and the
Philippines. 1t is believed by this
method a considerable portion of the
restless population Of the islands and es-
pecially those who have been bearing
arms in the insurgent or Spanish armies
could be kept quiet and law-abiding.
1t is stated by officers of the
army that the duties devolving upon
the troops under the new order of things
cannot be satisfactory to volunteers,
and that an army will have to be pro-
vided which will go where it is sent
without complaints of any kind. Men
who enlist in the regular army hereafter
will understand that they are likely to
90 out of the country and to garrison
distant lands for long periods. 1t is be-
lieved that the demands which have
been made upon senators and represent
atives for the muster out of volunteer
regiments and the discharge of volun-
teers inregiments which have remained
in the service has been SO great that
they will be convinced that regular
army for garrison duty in the new pos
sessions is an absolute necessity.

LITTLE DANGER HERE.
Not Believed the Plague VIII Spread
From Gases at Vienna.


WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-The marine
hospital service has received, through
the state department, dispatch from
United States Consul General Hurst at
Vienna, stating that three deaths have
occurred there from buDOnic plague and
that there are now only six cases in the
entire city and these are all hospital at
PENDANTS. Mr.. Hurst adds that the in
lection Of emigrants is improbable. DR..
Wyman, surgeon general Of the marine
hospital service, says that no unusual de-
lays to the landing at New York of i'm
migrants from Austria Hungary are
contemplated. The consul at the ports
of departure will examine each emf
grant before he is allowed to go aboard
ship, and if he comes from an infected
district his baggage will be disinfected
and every other precaution taken to
prevent the spread Of the disease. In
no case will an emigrant be allowed to
proceed if there is any reason to believe
that he has been in contact with the in
lection. DR.. Wyman is of opinion that
there is little or no danger of the plague
being brought to this country through
emigrants OF otherwise.
