Urgent LIMITATIONS Have Changed the
Plans FOR the Tour,
WAsnSoroS, sept. 81. -- President
Mckinley has altered his plans for his
Western tour In many respects. Tho
original program embraced only n
trip to the Omaha exposition and n
day in Kansas City. 1t IN positively
stated in Washington that tho
President will, after leaving the Omaha
exposition make n tom through tho
South. st. Louis, Atlanta and
Birmingham are tho cities, outside Of
those on the Missouri river, which
have been most urgent in their invi-
tations.
II is possible that tho President
may &c as far West as Denver. Moth
ing has yet been definitely decided
beyond the Omaha trip and the stop in
Chicago, but the extension Of the trip
Is now being figured on and the per-
s~uasion being brought to bear on the
President Is SO urgent that he will
hardly DO able to resist.

h Commissioners In the Dreyfus Case
Only Adylsory..

Only Advisory.
New YORK, Sept. 2O.-A dispatch to
the New York World from Paris says
Jules Pcrivier, a leading member of
the French bar, explains the present
legal status Of the Dreyfus case as
follows: ''Judicially the ministerial
decision to refer the case to an exam
ing commission of three decides moth
ing except the resifting Of the ORGY
fus papers in tho light Of recent
events. The commissions finding will
practically determine whether there
shall be a revision. The decision is
important politically, in that II, re-
veals and approves the sentiment of
the country in favor Of n revision"
Paris is outwardly quiet. There
seems to be n sense of relief because q
revision has virtually been determined
upon. But there is a great commotion
among the chiefs OF the army. They
undoubtedly have the disposition, il
not the courage, to try to prevent n
revision at the eleventh hour by a mil.
itary coup d. etat.
M. Cavaignac, who resigned lately
as minister Of war and who has east
his lot unreservedly with the army, is
pointed to as q possible dictator, but
public sentiment will be a most effect.
i've bar against such designs. 1t has
veercd around completely in favor OF
revision and justice. Only two anti
Dreyfus organs still hold out. Ester
hays promised confession is awaited
with the keenest curiosity, though nc
n will believe a word he says unless
he Is supported by independent ties
timony.
The retrial of the Dreyfus ease
should one be granted, will probably
be held in TIE little city of Beauvais
fifty-five miles north Of Paris, wher,
the court will not be threatened by {

Tho British steamer Evelyn Had . Hard
Race to Reach Baltimore.
BALTIMORE, Md, Sept. 20.-With a
fire raging in it's three holds tho
steamer Evelyn, Captain q. w. Horner,
from Huelva, Spain, August 20, heavi-
ly loaded with sulphur ore, has put
into its pier at Locust Point. 1t is re-
markable that the ship and those on
board were saved from death in mid.
cea
Ten days from this port, flames were
discovered in the cargo. The sulphur
fumes made it almost unbearable for
those on board, and it was thought
that asphyxiation for the captain and
crew was inevitable. Pumps were
kept working day and night, but water
seemed to be of little service. Cap
tain Horncr crowded on all steam
possible in his race for a safe harbor
and all hands were well nigh exhausted
when the ship tied up at it's wharf.
The fire boat Cataract was called into
service, but so far has been unable to
extinguish the flames. The Evelyn is
owned in England. The sulphur was
consigned to this city.

Foresta,i the Kaiser.

New YORK, Sept. 20.--A dispatch to
the New York Herald from Washing
ton says; As an indication that Ger
many has been scheming to share in
the disposition Of the Philippines, the
authorities have learned that. acting
under instructions from Berlin, the
German commander-in-chief Of the
Asiatic station has made an exhaust
i've investigation Of the coal deposits
IT the islands.
He was assisted by q German engi-
neer who had been temporarily as.
signed to his squadron for the special
purpose of locating coal. That engl-
neer conducted a thorough investiga.
ton, and his report, which has been
submitted to the Berlin governments
through Vice Admiral o Diedrich,
shows that the best Ignite deposits
are located on the island Of Cebu, one
of the Visayas group.
This information has been received
from n Of the representatives. Of this
government in Germany and has been
considered Of sufficient Importance to
be presented to tho peace commission
ers for their consideration. Officials
who were interviewed regarding the
matter admit that there can be only
one object which would lead the Berlin
government to direc. such an ~investi-
gation-the desire TO extend German
jurisdiction over tho island having the
largest beds of coal best adapted for
stcaming purposes. Such an island is
Ccbu, where Ignite OF n good quality
Is found in large quantities. Germany
would find Cebu exceedingly valuable
as a coaling station, as it would not
uecessitate the establishment OF a coal
pile at Kiao Chou, which she recently
obtained.
Aware OF Germany's proceedings,
the authorities arc taking precautions
to prevent the consummation Of any
plan which will enable them to reach
fruition. The Berlin government, by
the reduction Of it's fleet in Manila bay,
gave an indication Of it's desire
to remain on friendly terms with this
government. While regretting the
maintenance Of such a large force at
Manila, no protest was made by this
government, and the action Of Ger.
many in reducing it's naval force was
entirely voluntary.
The report made by the German en-
gineer explains to the officials why
the German vessels were steamina
among the islands. 1t Is no longer q
secret that Germany is the only nation
from which the government apprc
bends trouble In the settlement of tn.
Philippine question, and it was &c
avert the commitment of an overt act
that the President determined to Sc
strengthen Rear Admiral Dewcy'S
command as TO make it the superior OF

MANILA, Sept. sO.--In au interview
here, Archbishop Dosal OF the Philip
pine islands said:
~ earnestly hope the islands will
not remain Spanish, because the reb-
els are now SO strong that such q
coarse would inevitably cause appall-
ing bloodshed. The r~econquest of the
natives is impossible. until after years
of the most cruel warfare"
He also expressed the hope that this
islands would not become absolutely
Independent, because 10 was certain
that dissensions would occur which
would result In inccssant strife and a
lapse into bnrbarism and the natural
Incidence Of the tropical race. The
only hope, the archbishop declared,
was that a strong Western power
would intervene now. Delay was
dangerous, because the people are In
toxicated, vainglorious and restless.
He said IL was undeniable that the
religious orders must 90, because tho
whole people had determined to abol-
ish them, now that they were able to
render their retention impossible. He
lay the chief blame upon tho Domini-
cans, Augustins and Franciscan reoel-
etans, the richest orders, and ncxt
upon the Bencdictines and C~apuchins,
which are Of less importance. The
Jesuits, Archbishop Dosal says, arc
comparatively blameless. He added
hat the rival orders quarrel AMONG
themselves, intrigue, act unworthily
and Islander their opponents, thus in
.reasing their general disfavor.
The ~provincials, who are approx
matcly equivalent to n~rchdeacons, are
mainly responsible. They are utterly
beyond the control of the archbishop.
who denies possessing such power.
The total number of Spanish priests
in the Philippines before the war was
about ZOO, but lately every departing
steamer has taken fifty or 100 OF them
away and now barely 500 remain.

MERRIAM BACK FROM HAWAII.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 81. - The
steamer Australia arrived in port
carly this morning from Hawaii. Gem
eral Merriam, commander of the De-
partment of California, who has been
in Honolulu, was one Of the passen-
gers. He vas accompanied ON the
voyage by Lieutenant Graves and
Lieutenant Bennett Of his staff. When
the steamer left the people were jubi-
liant over annexation and were inter
esting themselves in all efforts to
make the government Of the islands
similar to that of the United States.
The officers of the Australia say that
tho Arizona, with troops for Manila,
sailed September II, and the Scandia
with troops and treasure, was to leave
September 10. The Australia brought
up five sick soldiers. Lieutenant Hunt
of the Fourteenth regular infantry
was also a passenger. He was taken
Ill in Honolulu with typhoid fever,
and after he was convalcscent was

1.-THE attitude Of tho American Off

much u~nfavorable criticism among
Europeans who have returned from

criminal negligence OF the native char

physicians OF Mrs. Davis report that
she is holding up with great calmness
In her affection. and no fears are at
present entertained Of her health
yielding to the strain.
Miss Winnie Davis, the slaughter
of the Confederocy," was born in the
Confederate executive mansion at
Richmond, Va, in 1868. She was edu-
Gated principally at home, owing to
the troubles surrounding her father,
and the publicity which attended all
movements Of the Davis family. Miss
Davis attained her majority ut Beau
voir, Miss. Here she assisted her
mother in various ways and took her
place in the many social functions of
the place.
She was her fathers constant COM
panion. She assisted him in all his
work, and much of the information
which vas required by Mr.. Davis in
his writings was secured for him by
his daughter. Her strong character
was marked from youth. She was en-
gagged to Mr.. Wilkerson Of Syracus B,
N. Y, but shortly after her fathers
death the engagement was broken OFF.
While no public explanation OF the
rupture IA given, it is well known
that it vas for the purpose Of main
tanning her fathers name.
She received the name Daughter OF
tho Confederacy" in 1885, when her
father made his famous trip through
the South. Mr.. Davis being unable to
appear, Miss Winnie was brought be-
fore the thousands At tho different
points along the route and introduced
