VIII Lsa,. Camp W,knfr.

Camp wikofr, Montauk Point, n. Y,
Sept. 4.-This great camp will dis
solve during the three coming weeks,
and by October LIST 1t will have shrunk
to slender proportions.
The well men, according to the War
Departments set designs, will leave
the camp ms fast as transportation can
be conveniently provided, probably ut
the rate of 5000 to 1000 a week. The
convalescents from the hospitals. in
stead Of being sent Into camp, will go
to their homes.
The President, Secretary Alger and
General Wheeler had talk about 1t
yesterday, md, although GeneralWheel-
er thought the men would do well in
camp until October LIST. it was deter
mined to continue to send them away.
The regulars taken from the posts east
Of the Mississippi will, according to
the present directions, be sent where
they were before the war. The War
Department has not yet transmitted
the order to General Shafter, but 1t
will no doubt be received by Tuesday.

Chicago. Sept. "a special cable
gram from Manila to the Record says
CaDlegrams were sent yesterday by
the English residents OF Manila tc
Lord Salisbury urging him to use his
utmost endeavOrs to induce the United
States government to retain the Phil
ippine islands permanently az an In
vIOlable American colonial possession
The feeling ON this subject is very
strong among the foreign residents. II
II realized here that anarchy IL likely
to follow either the return of the Span
iards to power or the independence OF
the Islands under a native government
There Is Il general epidemic of home
sickness among the American troops
Mt this remote station, which seems tO
many of the poor fellows like being on
another planet from that with which
they are familiar, instead of only In
another hemisphere. Nostalgia to them
is disease Of considerable power.
Some of the North Dakota troops are
making the best of the situation by or
ganizing In Manila the first military
lodge of Free MasOns In this quarter
of the globe.
The North Dakota troops are sta.
toned at Malate. where the fighting
occurred on the day that Manila was
surrendered and where the Spanish
forces so long resisted the attacks OF
the insurgents. The entire district Is
under command of Colonel Treunnnn
The health OF the regiment is excel
lent. The only sickness is comprised
in sixteen cases of malaria and dysen.
terry and one case of typhoid fever.
Private Prust of company is the only
one whose condition is serious.
Captain Moffet, who holds the post
Of superintendent of the Manila prison,
has liberated several hundred Filipinos
who had been confined there for long
periods, even as high ns eight and nine
years, without any sort of legal hear
ing. The Investigation into these cases
has thrown Il flood of light on the hor-
rible oppression which las been prac.
ticed here for centuries by the Span,
ish tyrants. Major White has been de
tailed as sanitary officer of Manila and
is organizing a large force. to clean the
city thoroughly of all sorts Of accumu
lated filth.
Two battalions of South Dakota
troops and 300 officers and men OF TIE
Minnesota volunteers arrived here OF
the transport st. Paul four days ago
There We're no deaths and no cases OF
serious sickness during the voyage.

Camp Wikoff, Montnuk Point, L. L..
Sept. 3.-I'resident Mckinley spent
five hours In the camp to-day. bare
headed most Of the time, visiting and
inspecting the well in their canton
ments. He made II speech to the as
sembled infantryment, reviewed the
cavalrymen, expressed his opinion of
the camp to the reporters and issued
an order directing the regulars to re-
turn to their stations east of the Mis-
sissippi.
He spent considerable time in the
hospital.
General Wheeler announced in each
ward: Boys, the President has come
to see you" or Soldiers, the President
Of the United States"
Some of the soldiers slept uncon-
scious, some listlessly raised upon their
elbows, others feebly clapped their
hands.
Mr.. Mckinley gently shook hands
with many, and at every cot he
paused for an instant. and If he saw
the sick man looking Mt him he bowed
In a direct and personal manner.
He had many bits Of talk with the
men, and seemed to be in no hurry.
He almost outwore the patience Of all
his party by his slow going through
ward after ward.

There was a proposition to argue a
young lady out of school in Boise,
Idaho. The result of 1t is succinctly
stated in this dispatch from that town:
at is believed that two of the men shot
last night by Miss Birdie Sanders will
die. The third man escaped by run.
ming away and Is thought to be unin-
1ured. Miss Sanders lately has been
teaching the White Cross school, and
the three men, who opposed her re-
tention as teacher. called and tried to
scare her into leaving the county"
While politics is not necessarily wrong,
even In school matters. 1t must be in
sisted that there must be nothing OF
that kind which initiates against the
chivalry OF this enlightened period. II
ia barely possible. however. that this
lady knows how to take care of her
self no matter what the nature OF the
argument which may be presented
against her desires or her rights.

SPANS COMMISSIONERS.
No One win Go to PAris-A Hot Tim
CsmlnG In the Cortss.

No One viii Go to Psris-A Hot Time
CemlnE In the Cortes.
New York, Sert. "A cable to the
Herald from Madrid says:
Premier Sagasta to-day made the
terrifying statement that the debate.
which opens tomorrow, might last
twenty days.
The governmental press generally
takes the view that the coming dis
cussions In the Cortes will have a Sc
riOus effect upon the Paris commission.
Apropos OF this commission, Senor
Leon y Castillo having backed out.
and all the best men having curtly re-
fused to act upon 1t. only two courses
remain o;en. One Is, rs a member Of
the government said to-day. to fill up
the four missing places with military
men, who would have to accept orders
given them; the other course would be
for Spain to refuse to send commission
ers, basing her refusal upon what
Senor Moret has designated as the
utter futility Of any commission based
upon the present lines.
After all there Is no necessity for n
commission. The matter could be ar
ranged much more easily between the
two governments. The idea of n COM
mission here meets with much less
than lack of encouragement.
The Cortes opens tomorrow at half
past 2 O'Clock. General Weyler, who is
said to be full Of fight. arrived this
evening. His friends describe him as
resolved to tell the truths which were
not possible at the time of his last
speech In the Legislature.

Berlin, Sept. IA New York World
correspondent cables: According to the
London Daily News correspondent, at
great conference of German Roman
Catholics which has been sitting mt
Crefeld, Bishop Schmitz of Cologne an
nOunced that the financial condition of
Leo NlII. was at present extremely
precarious. One speaker stated that
the holy father required yearly the
sum of 7,OOOOOO francs for necessary
expenses of the church. and that.
while 100000 was provided from n
source not made public, his holiness
depended on Peters pence for the re-
manning 4,0OO,OOO francs.
For the last two years the receipts
from this source have not reached
2,5OO0OO francs, owing. 1t is said. to
various political events which have dis
turbed the Roman Catholic nations.
France has been a special delinquent
during the last ten years, md the late
war has seriously interfered with the
generosity of the Spaniards. Bishop
Schmitz appealed to 2,0OOOOO German
Catholics to mnke a great effort to re-
licve their spiritual head from the
present grave financial distress, for, he
said, mo money for the Pope, then no
free Pope"

His Tombstone.


His Tombstone.
London, Sept. 5.-The will of the late
Right Hon. w. f. Gladstone has been
probated. 1t shows that his personal
estate Is valued at f59,JOG.
Mr.. Gladstone's will was written by
himself in an ordinary memorandum
book. 1t is n document of about 1900
words and is a remarkable specimen
OF penmanshIp. The second clause OF
the will has reference to the funeral
arrangements, and says:
"Commcnding myself to the infinite
mercies of God In the incarnate Son
as my only and sufficient hope,

my executors, specifying only that they

where my wife may also lie. On no
account shall a laudatory Inscription

After appointing his sons as execu-
tors, the will charges the future pos
SCISSOR Of Hawarden to remember that,
as the head Of the family. it will be
his duty to extend good offices to other
members thereof, according to his abil-
ity and their manifest needs and mer-
Its,

SYSTEM OF PROMOTIONS.
Secretary Long Has = New Plan for the
Nnyy.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The Navy De-
partment has officially recognized the
injustice attending the degrading Of
159 officers through the promotion of
participants in naval engagements at
Manila and Santiago and upon minor
occasions In the war with Spain by
preparing bill which Secretary Long
will ask Congress to substitute for sec
tions 1905 and 1907, which permitted
the promotion of officers not exceeding
thirty numbers with the consent Of
the Senate, "for eminent and conspicu-
GUS conduct liz battle or extraordinary
heroism."
In this measure Secretary Long has
devised to reward brave officers with
medal Of honor and an increase of 10
per cene. in their pay as long as they
may live. Curiously enough, it is not
contemplated that this amendment to
the law shall correct the injustice al
ready accomplished, but It's provisions
are; designed wholly for subsequent
cases.
The surgeon general of the navy has
asked for proposals, - be opened Oc-
tober 18th, for the construction of a
model naval. hospital at Mare island,
California, under congressional ap-
preparation Of 100000. The plans are
Of the most modern type, conforming
to the latest hospital practice at home
and abroad, and provide for indefinite
expansion. - n
The Navy Department closed a con-
tract to-day with Tiffany for Admiral
Dewey's sword, the consideration be-
ing $1,000. The remaining $1,000 of
the congressional appropriation will be
devoted to defrnying the expense OF
striking medals for the officers and
men who participated in the battle Of
Manila bay May 1st. It is proposed to
have this work done rs soon as possi-
BILE at the Philadelphia mint.

Two paramount principles should
guide the nation in making terms OF
peace. The one is that magnanimity
which the great victor should show
toward the vanQulshed. 80 that 1t shall
not even seem in the end to be a war
for oppression or for selfish. sordid
gain. The other is that the high OBJ
jects for which the war was begun
shail b secured. 10 that ''our dead
heroes" shall not have died in vain.
Under such guidance, and such alone,
shall "peace with honor be restored.

Saint Paul laid down some laws
against women which were well
enough in his day, but should the
church OF his day rule the church OF
this period? Let us think little In
behalf of ourselves with regard te
church. war. politics and international
complications. Noah built his ark
against precedent and popular 1udg-
ment. and if he hadn't marked out that
course for himself he would have join
