WHEN you come to think of it, says
one who has thought of it. think of it
cody and calmly after the lapse of
these years, Adam and Eve were
pretty fortunate people. Adam never
had to run dead beats with the house
dog. He did not even have to sit in
the parlor and talk politics with Ewes
father. When they qnarreled and
Eve climbed tree kdam didn't have
to write long letters and spend long
hours of anxiety and postage stamps
to make it up All be had 10 do was
to sit down under the tree and wait
til Ewes temper r covered Its normal
sweetness. He never patronized con-
dictionary stores; he plucked a nice
pineapple, and presented it with his
compliments. Theirs was beauti.
fuI dream of welded life, When Eve
wanted a new dress Adam went to the
nearest fig tree and got it. Aud Eve
never felt called upon to mend
busted button hole or to help Adam
hunt his collar button, or take all the
blame because he stumbled over a
rocking chair. 1t was a monopoly of
unadulteraled comfort, and if Eve
had only had the feminine sagacity to
lift her skirt and scream when she
saw the snake we wouldn't be having
all this trouble now

4 SPANISH GARNET CRISIS.
Strong Belief One VIII Follow Assem-
 bling of Cortes.

Madrid, Sept 1, 11:30 p. m.-To-night several members of the chamber of deputies have expressed a strong belief that cabinet crisis will follow imme- diately on the meeting of the cortes. The probable composition of the new conservative ministry is being discuss ed
 The deadlock over the appointment of the members of the peace commits sion continues. The cabinet sat this evening in concert, the queen regent presiding. Senor Sagasta, the premier, made statement as to the foreign pol icy, referring particularly to the dis armament proclamation of Emperor Nicholas.
 Lieutenant General Correa, minister of war, read dispatch from General Rios, acting governor general of the Spanish territory in the Philippine Isl- ands, announcing that he had acceded to Admiral Dewey's request to open Philippine ports subject to ratification by the Madrid government. Senor Sa- gasta, according to Fl Heraldo, is try ing to persuade the Duke of Tetuan, leader of the dissident conservatives, to join the peace commission.

Activity in the Third.

Camp Haven, U. S. Army Post, Man tic, Sept. 1.-The announcement of the early removal of the Third regiment to Middletown, Pa., has occasioned the greatest activity that has been mani- fested in camp since the regiment ar rived here. No further orders have been received since the dispatch of this afternoon from the war department or dering Colonel Tyler to the new quar- ters. The regiment is now awaiting transportation and it is believed that by Saturday or Sunday at the latest the soldiers will be encamped in their new post.

WHO OWNS THIS SUIT.
Found on the Banks of West River Last
 Night,

Patrolman Michael Cooney was in- formed last evening that a suit of clothes had been found on the West Haven bank of West river near Con- gress avenue and that it was thought that possibly some one had gone in bathing there and been drowned. The clothes were taken to the Howard ave- nue police station, where it was found that they consisted of trousers coat. vest, shirt and a pair of shoes. The suit was rather ragged and was gray in color. In one of the pockets was found a slip of paper on which was the address 16 Main street, Fair Haven. A metal stamp was also found engraved with the name Michael H. Hayes. Inquiry by the police last night failed to find any one missing from No. 16 Main street, and it is possible that the clothes were thrown away by some tramp.

GEN. MAcn1As OF PORTO RICO.
Gen. Brooke Communicates With Him
 Regarding an Expedition.

Regarding an Expedition.
 Ponce, Sept. 1.-General Brooke yeS- terday notified Captain General Machi- as, the Spanish commander at San Juan de Porto Rico, under flag of truce carried to the Spanish lines by Colonel Goethal, that Rear Admiral Schley and General Gordon, the American Porto Rican peace commissioners, had sailed for San Juan from New York on the steamer Seneca. At the same time General Brooke asked if there was any objection to his proceeding overland with an escort. Major Jose Refs of 5he Spanish army brought the reply ot General Machias to-day. It was sent by wire and said there were no obJec- tions. Consequently General Brooke has arranged to leave on Friday or Sat urday with his staff, escorted by Troop H of the Sixth cavalry and Cal;taln Pitchers company of the Eighth infan- try Several stone culverts between here and the Spanish works on the crest of the mountains, which have been blown up, will be repaired to- morrow by Colonel Goethals engineers. The colonel has examined the Spanish Qualifications. He says they are mar velously strong and that he could have held back the strongest army in Eu- rope with five hundred men against an assault in front. The Spaniards had trenches and two guns. All but hum dred of the six hundred men stationed there have returned to San Juan.

ANGLO EGYPTIAN CAMPAIGN
BRITISH WAR OFFICE RELIEVED
 BY NEVIS FROM FRONT,
Communication Had Been Interrupted by Severe storm-Large Body of Der wishes Located-Enemy Showed Dis- position to Fight-Their Positions shelled-Army Moving Slowly in Close Formation.
Formation.

London, Sept. 1.-The war office was relieved this evening by the receipt of a dispatch from Cairo explaining the sudden interruption of news from the Soudan which gave rise to some un- easiness yesterday as to the movements of the Anglo Egyptian column now ad- vancing toward Omdurman under Gen eral Sir Herbert Kitchener. It ap- pears that telegraphic communication was interrupted because the wire be- yond Nasri island, about midway be- tween Metemmeh and the sixth Catar- act of the Nile, had been damaged by a severe storm.
 Shortly after the arrival of this intel ligence came the following dispatch to the Associated Press from Nasri Is- land dated August 30 and forwarded by messenger from the camp at the front to Nasri. "There have been glimpses of the enemy during the last few days and a skirmish took place to-day when an advance guard of cav airy located large body of the Der wishes at a supposed outpost near Ker- reri, about eight miles north of Omdur- man. The enemy showed a disposition to fight, beating war drums and dis playing battle bunting. The Montmo- rency troop emptied few Dervish sad dies, and three gunboats steamed up the river in front of the town and she'll ed the Dervish positions. The enemy's loss could not be ascertained, as the Dervishes were in a hollow, but fleeing troops could be distinctly seen. The army is moving slowly. Yesterday it advanced four miles in close forma- tion."
 The disaster to the first Anglo Egyptian forces under Colonel Hicks, otherwise Hickspaw, occurred In Mo- vember, 1885, a short time previous to the departure of the i'll fated General Gordon for Khartoum. Hicks, with an army of about Il, 900 men, had started for the Kordofan region of the Soudtn early that year, arrived at Berber on March 1 and totally defeated the great Mahdi, with great loss on April 20. Later the Mahdi was defeated at Khar- toum. But at the battle of El-Obeid, or Kashgal, Hicks was decoyed into q defile, where he was attacked by over whelming multitudes. His troops form ed squares and resisted until nearly all were killed, including Hicks, Colonel Farquhar and other European officers. Only two men of this force are said to have escaped, although other reports have it that some of Hicks troops de- serted to the Mahdi. In any case the latter obtained possession through his victory of a large quantity of arms and ammunition.

General Shafter is now, strictly speaking, by reason of rank, in com mand of Camp Wikoff, but he will not assume the reins of control until his term in the detention camp is finished In an interview this afternoon General Shafter said: 1T enjoyed the trip on the Mexico greatly, more so on account of the ship being prize. From a cas- ual observation I like Camp Wikoff. It seems such place as I should have selected 1 will soon acquaint myself thoroughly with all the details of the camp.

I will not discuss it. not that I am unfamiliar with the phases of the case, nor will enter the controversy at any time. Sec retary Alger and General Miles can take care of themselves, and so can l. The Red Cross and other nurses did good work at Santiago, but the front is hardly the place for women. There was never any real scarcity of food in Cuba, but there were no transportation facilities to distribute supplies to the front other than pack trains.

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co
CONDITIONS AT CAMP HAVEN.
by Dr. Lindsley Yesterday
 Remarkably Healthfnl Camp.

Dr. c. A. Lindsley of this city, secre- tary of the state board of health, off, cially visited Camp Haven yesterday and made thorough investigation of it's sanitary condition. The investiga- tion was made at the direction of Ad- jutant General Haven because of the fragrant and utterly unfounded reports printed in two New Haven morning papers that typhoid fever was raging at the camp and that there were twen- ty or thirty cases of the disease. The strongest refutation of the sensational articles Is found in the result of Dr. Lindsley's visit
 He stated last night O., his return to this city that the camp was in good sanitary condition and of typhoid fever only two cases existed, while two other patients only were under suspicion. Even in these cases there is no evidence whatever to support a statement that the disease was actually contracted in the camp. The men are allowed at va rious times to leave the grounds and
 
 wells and springs in the vicinity.
 As impure water is declared to be the cause of much infection, particularly of typhoid fever, Dr. Lihdsley has been extremely careful to make most thor ough examinations of that at Mantle. Last may before the troops rendez- voused at Camp Haven he took sam- ples from some thirty wells and they were analysed at the chemical labora- tory of the Yale medical school by State Chemist Herbert E. Smith. The result of the analysis proved the water to be pure and unusually healthful. Again in August after the water had been used by the troops for some time a like ex- animation was made and the water showed a slight improvement. This improvement Dr. Lindsley attributes to the water being constantly used.
 To further demonstrate the good san- itary condition of the camp Dr. Linds- ley pointed out that of the HOO men en- camped for two and one-half months only sixty-five have been incapacitated for duty They were sick with bad coughs, humps and dysentery, etc., and some were In the hospital through in- juries sustained in play or in work This record is looked upon as remark able and confirms the general belief that the Connecticut state camp Is one of the most If not the most healthful in the country

IN HONOR OF M,KINLEY
Grand Demonstration at Canton
 People Turn Ont En Masse.


 Canton, O., Sept. IA grand demor- stration occurred here at noon to-day in honor of President Mckinley and Secretary of State Day. Out of respect for the presidents expressed wish that his present visit be informal the affair was to a considerable extent morgan ized and partook largely of the nature of a spontaneous outburst of enthusi- asm. The people of the community turned out en masse and from the de- pot to the Barber residence, where the McKinleys are the guests of Mrs. Me- Kinley's sister, the streets were bright and cheerful with flags and other dis plays of the national colors. The arri- val was so near the noon hour that employees of many factories succeeded in securing the early shutdown and joined the throng about the station. President and Mrs. Mckinley were driven direct to the Barber residence, where their stay of a few hours was shorn of all formality. Between 4 and 5 o'clock they boarded a special train of the Pennsylvania line and proceeded eastward. Major Webb c. Hayes and Colonel and Mrs. Myron T. Herrick were of the party.

Surgeon General wntson,s Denial

Danbury, Sept. 1.-Surgeon General w. s. Watson, c. N. G., of this city, who accompanied General Frost, As sistant Surgeon General Phillips and Dr. c. A. Lindsley to Camp Haven to- day, returned home tonight greatly in censed at the sensational reports that have been circulated relative to the un- sanitary condition of the camp. pr. Watson was very emphatic in his statement that there was absolutely no truth in the stories that the camp was in bad sanitary condition. There have been only two or three known cases of typhoid fever since the men came into. camp, and there hove been many more than that among the towns people of Mantle during the same time.
