ANDREE'S HUT WRECKED.
Berlin Paper Charges Germans With
Outrageous Vandalism.

Berlin, Sept. 1.-THE Berlin Tage-
blatt publishes an article denOuncing
the manner in which the German North
Pole expedition, under the management
of Dr. Werner and Captain Rudiger,
has been conducted.
Though not duplicating DR.. Werner
and Captain Rudiger directly, the Tage-
blatt declares that there is ample proof
that several members of the expedition,
who went on the steamer HeigOland,
are guilty of objectionable acts of van
dalism. They are accused of almost
wrecking the log house which the
English traveller Pike erected some
years ago on Danes Isle one degree
north of Spitzbergen as a shelter during
his bear hunts, and which Professor An
dree utilized as a storehouse of provis-
ions and other Indispensable articles
for those of his own and other parties
which might be shipWrecked.
A company of tourists, among whom
were the Bavarian minister, Won Grail
Sheim, Professor Klatsch and Baron Won
Schlicht, the Heidelberg author, visited
Danes Isle on August Is and found the
windows and doors of the house open
and everything inside lying about in
indeScribable pell nell. Boxes of pre-
serves and canned goods were broken
open, and it was evident that the men,
after assuaging their appetite, cared
nothing for what remained. Members
of the German expedition had scrubbed
their names and addresses on several
cartes de visites, the personal property
of Professor Andree.

no LOOK INTO THE WAR.
President Mckinley Invites a Num-
Der of Prominent Gentlemen.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE president
has urged the following named gentle
men, among others, to accept places on
the committee requested by Secretary
Alger to investigate the conduct of the
war:
Lieutenant General John NJ. Schofeld,
General John B. Gordon, GeneralGreen-
Vile NJ. Dodge, President D. c. Gilman
General Charles F. Henderson, Hon
Robert T. Lincoln, Daniel S. Lamont
Dr. w. w. Keene, Colonel James A.
Sexton.
The message which President McKin-
ley addressed to each of these follows:
VIII you render the country a great
service by accepting my appointment
as a member of the committee to ex-
anime into the conduct of the commits
Sary, quartern@ ster and medical
bureaus of the war department during
the war and into the extent, causes and
treatment of sickness in the field and
in the camps? 1t is my desire that the
full and exact truth shall be ascertain
ed and made known. I can not too
strongly impress upon you my earnest
wish that this committee shall be of
such high character as will command
the complete confidence Of the country,
and I trust you will consent to serve.
(Signed), WILLIAM MCKINLEY"
It would have been difficult for the
president to have selected nine men
more favorably known to the American
people and yet equipped perfectly for
the work they will be called upon to
perform. Lieutenant General SchOfield
was General Miles predecessor as COM
handing general of the United States
army. His experience in the civil war
as a corps commander eminently fits
him to pass judgment upon the opera
lions in the field just concluded.
General Gordon had about the same
experience in the confederate army as
General Schofield on the northern side,
and in addition he has represented his
state of Georgia two terms in the
United States senate and retired in the
face of much popular demand.
General Granville Dodge is known as
a man of large business interests in
New York, but even better among SOL
diers with whom he led to success in
the civil war. He also commanded an
army corps and has never lost his in
terest in military affairs since entering
civil life.
D. c. Gilman is one of the best
known educators in the United States,
at present holding the honOred position
of president of John Hopkins universe
ty in Baltimore. He was selected by
President Cleveland as a member of the
commission appointed to, settle the
Venezuelan boundary controversy.
Chas. F. Henderson was senator for
two terms and also served with distinc-
ton in the war as a division command
er. He is at present in Washington.
Robert T. Lincoln, of course, is so
well known as to need no Introduction
to the public, and the same is almost
equally true of Daniel S. Lamont, sec
rotary of war under the second CIeVe-
land administration.
Dr.. W. W. Keene is a citizen of Phil
adelphia and enjoys the reputation OF
being one of the most scientific and
ablest of the physicians in that city.
Colonel James A. Sexton is best
known to the American people by his
election last week to the post of COM
mander-in-chief of the G. A. r.

VACCINE IS A BUGABOO.
Chicago Colored People Hide to
Escape Doctors.

Chicago, Sept PA wailing is heard
along Dearborn street, south of twentieth
street. The colored population is on the
sharp lookout for suspicious looking men
carving small black leather cases. When
such a one strolls by he is given the
whole sidewalk His ring at door bells IS
unanswered. No copper was ever halt
so feared as the man with the small
leather case
DR. Hunts vigorous campaign to head
off smallpox among the colored popula-
ton is the cause of the Watchfulness, the
WakefulnesS and the Wailing. Someone
telegraphed to Commissioner Reynolds
week ago that four colOred walters had
slipped away from Put-in-Bay with well
developed cases of smallpox, and that they
had gone to Chicago. The officers of the
health department could find no trace or
them.
Fearing that their friends may have hid
them, the health officers began vigor-
Gus campaign to vaccinate the colored
walters of the city. This is the reason
that the hungry man at noont1me mas TO
wait twice as long for his pie and coffee
at the quick and ready meal places. The
walters can use only one arm The other
is sore from the pricking of the man with
the small leather case.
After the walters were rounded up and
properly pricked the health officers be-
gan on the rest of the cOlored population.
Last week the youngsters were more or
less successful in eVading the physicians.
This week, however, they are caught be-
tween two fires and few are escaping. One
set of physicians is making a house to
house canvass for unVacc1nated children
Another set lies in wait at the school
houses and catches the boys and girls who
dodge the other force.

ACTORS FLEE FROM SOUTH.
Yellow Fever Quarantine Drives The
atrical Companies Away.

Memphis, Sept. 1.-THE quarantine
regulations have given the early theat-
ricaI attractions their death blow, and
the companies booked for September
and October dates in the south are get
ting away as fast as they can.
The regulations have caused a sud
den stampede to the east and west.
Companies that opened the season in
the south are canceling their dates and
leaving for other parts.
Memphis will suffer even more than
other southern Cities because of the
early quarantine and because of it's
drastic requirements. Both the Lyce-
UNI theater and Grand opera house ex-
pected to open early, and the cream of
the road shows was scheduled for early
southern dates. Under the ruling of the
board of health all theatrical companies
are barred after the 10th of September.
Manager Boyle of the Lyceum theater
had booked his company to open on
September 10. His people have been in
Chicago and can make affidavit that
they have not been out of that city for
the past six months, but that makes no
difference
