TROOPS ANXIOUS TO DEPART.
Those Ordered to Manila Ambitious
to Get to the Front.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, September 90
The troops just ordered to the Philippines
are all anxious to depart as soon as poss-
bic, and their wishes are likely to be graft
fed, for General Miller, who hopes to head
the expedition, is doing all he can to expe-
dite their transportation. The numerical
strength ordered to the orient is as follows:
First Tennessee Regiment, 1,2S6; 10Th Kan
sas Regiment, 1,301; 51st Iowa Regiment
1251; lst Washington Regiment, IBIS; re-
cruits I'd Oregon Regiment 800; battalion
I'D Regiment, U. S. A, 400 Total force
5SJ6
All of the troops named, except the
Washington regiment, have been attached
to the Philippine expeditionary forces. The
Washington men have belonged to the De-
partment of California.
Although the 9TH and 1th California Regi-
ments are anxious to active service
there seems to be little prospect of their be-
ing added to the expeditionary force.
In case no general should be assigned to
this expedition, the command will devolve
upon Col. John II. Wholly of the 1st Wash
ington Volunteers. He ranks Colonel Fun
ston by reason of prior service in the regu-
lar army, both having mustered in their
commands on May II. General Miller has
made application by telegraph to the chef
of ordnance at Washington for enough
Krag-Jorgensen rifles to arm the four regi-
ments that are going with the expedition.
The Wyoming battery of light artillery will
be returned here. The Sth Utah, now doing
garrison duty. will probably be left undis-
turbed

SICKNESS OF JOHN SHERMAN.
The Ex-Secretary of State Suffering
From Bronchitis.

Ex-Secretary OF State John Sherman is
confined to his bed at his K street resi-
dence in this city. i'll with an acute attack
of bronchitis. from which ne has suffered
more or less at intervals for several years
past He contracted a slight cold during
the recent chilly period that came so sud-
denly, and it is thought that he did not
give ii sufficient careful attention. The cold
developed into bronchitis, and about a week
ago il was quite severe. Then considerable
Improvement was noticeable and he was
progressing favorably until two days ago,
when there was slight relapse. Today he
Is reported as being slightly better, though
rather weak and with a little fever His
condition Is not regarded as dangerous and
II is believed by those Immediately sur
rounding him that he will soon recover
Mr. Sherman had been enjoying particular
~ good health up to the time he caught
cold. He returned from his recent trip to
Alaska more vigorous and stronger than
he had appeared to be for many years and
II was a subject of general remark and
pleasure among his friends that he was
looking well.

PIONEERS OF THE NEW NAVY.
The Chicago. Atlanta and Yorktown
VIII Soon Go in Commissinn

Three men-of-war will be placed in COM
mission within the next few days. These
are the cruiser Chicago, which has under
gone extensive repairs at the New York
Tayy yard: the cruiser Atlanta, which has
also been Oyerhanled at the same yard. and
the cruiser Yorktown, which is being fitted
out at the Mare Island navy yard. These
three ships were built by John Roach of
CT ester. Pa, and were the pioneers of the
new navy. The Chicago and Atlanta will
be temporarily assigned to the North At
lantic station. and the Yorktown will be
sent 10 China, where her size and draught
make her especially useful. Capt P II.
Cooper will have command of the Chicago
and Commander c. 5. Perry will have COM
mand OF the Yorktown. The commanding
officer of the Atlanta has not yet been an
nounced. In the probable event of the re-
establishment of the European station it is
not unlikely that the Chicago will be as
signed TO duty as flagship of that station
and that Commodore H. L. Howison now
In command of the Boston navy yard, who
will shortly be advanced to the grade of
rear admiral, will be made commandar-in-
chief of the European station. 1t is possi-
bic, however, that Rear Admiral John A
Howell. who was recalled from Europe at
the outbreak of the Spanish war, will be re-
ir stated in his former flag command

SCHOOL FACILITIES,
Columbia Heights Citizens Have "a
Complaint.

Mr.. j. A. Cauldwe!i, secretary of the Co.
lumbia Heights Citizens Association, this
afternoon laid before the District Commits
sioners communication from the execu-
tive committee. calling their attention to
the alleged inadequate school facilities for
that section. The committees letter was
as follows;
AT an executive committee meeting of
the Columbia Heights Citizens Associa-
oftion, held last evening, a most serious
problem confronted US, in the nature of a
perplexing question of inadequate school
facilities for the people of our Jurisdiction.
The facts as We understand them, briefly
told, are as follows: Very many bitter
complaints and most righteous protests
have been made to US from citizens, who
sent their children to the johnson School
yesterday morning to enter them into an
advanced grade from that of the previous
year, having passed satisfactory eXamina-
tion but, to their utter amaZement, were
told they were no longer eligible to enter
that school, they were out of the limits
as fixed by the trustees. No previous warn
ing having been given in any manner, not
even to the principal OF the school, until
last Saturday, the-17th instant, number
of permits had been issued to scholars out
side of the limits.
/ I'VE are informed that the boundary is
Florida avenue south, Spring road north,
the west side of 18th street east and the
east side of 18th street west.
I'VE think this is a very unjust appor-
tionment for the people living so much
nearer to the school, though just outside
the eastern limits, and who have sent their
children from the beginning, old resident
taxpayers who have built up the commu-
nifty in that locality, and who are thus
thrust out on account of the congested con-
dition of the school by virtue of the influx
Of the vast population in the past few
months, and for the most part transients.
I'VE earnestly request of your honorable
body to take such immediate action as will
at least reinstate the old scholars, pending
some permanent relief to the present sad
condition of affairs.
I'VE need another school In a central
ioo alton of this overcrowded territory, and
earnestly rec ommend such action taken by
your honorable body as will speedily insure
our citizens suitable building for this
beautiful section of our city.
I'VE respectfully suggest that there Ia at
present advertised on Columbia road, just
west Of 14th street, a large building for
rent for school purposes, which might be
secured to give immediate relief.
I'VE trust this most momentous question
will meet with your especial prompt atten-
tion."

MASTERS WITH MALLETS
Second Days Play, in the croquet T0una-
: nent
Standing q the Contestants In the
FirsS SECOND and Third
Divisions.

The second days play in the annual
cloquet tournament of the District Of Co.
1umbia Croquet Association began this
morning with Sood attendance on hand
to witness the fine games put up by the
various contestants. The games of the first
ana second divisions are being played on
the courts at 9th street and Rhode Island
avenue, while those in the third division
are holding forth on the courts at 18th and
+ streets. Naturally, more interest centers
about the spot where the champions and
ex-champions are playing. but there was
also good attendance at the third di-
vision courts all day, enough to show the
added interest that is being taken in the
game of croauet in Washington.
Good Games.
The play today was in the main as good
as that of yesterday, and some very pretty
contests were developed. When this re-
port closed Duryea and Avery, Veasey and
Williams and Hall and Coleman were pair
ed on the three courts. The game between
Duryea and Avery promised to be a very
pretty exhibition. Duryea had made all
out tour arches before Avery had gained
one, but made slip and Avery took the
balls by splendid carom shot through a
wicket. He was enabled by this chance to
gain a lead that brought the contest to q
Strong and Duryea.
An event that promises to be of engaging
interest Is the match between Strong and
Duryea for the. George S. Van Wickle
badge. These games will not be played un-
til the last of the week, however in all
probability Friday and Saturday This
badge was donated by George s. Van
W1ckle, a croquet enthusiast Of New
Brunswick. The holder of it is by the con-
dit1ons to defend it against all corners and
may be challenged to play for it every
seven days. Duryea won the badge at the
NorWlch tournament last month and was
challenged by Strong, the games to be
prayed here. The series will consist of
three games and will undoubtedly develop
some exceedingly brilliant croquet play.
a SuccesS by Electric Light.
Playing by electric light was tried for
the first time last night, and the expert
ment was found to work most satisfacto-
rily. heretofore the tournaments have
been strung out, some of the games in the
second. and particularly in the third, divis-
ion, in fact. never being played on account
OIL the shortness of September evenings.
Electric light, however. oyercomes this,
and 1t is possible to continue the contests
from y O'Clock straight through until
o'clock in the evening. The lights are
strung on wires, two long strings over each
court. and make. the courts practically as
ngnt as they are in the daytime.
The score of the games played is as fol-

Andrew CassaEne Murdered by Three
Robbers in New York.

Robbers in New York.
NEW YORK, September 2O.-Andrew
cassagne was strangled to death by three
men last night in the tenement in Williams
burg, Brooklyn, E. D., which he occupied
with his wife.
According to the story told to the police
by Mrs Cassagne, she had left the room
for a few minutes in which she and her
husband slept Returning, she found her
husband dead on the floor beside lie bed.
while three men stood over him. She ran
to her husbands side, but was grasped by
two of the men. who choked her nearly to
insensibiiity, while the third man searched
the room, finding $500 under the mattress
of the bed. Meanwhile Mrs. Cassagne had
contrived to reach the door opening in the
hall and kicked upon it to call help. Her
assailants relaxed their grasp upon her
throat and she was then able to scream,
which she did just as the three men f1eu
from the tenement with the money. There
were dark blue marks upon Mrs Cas-
sagne's neck. bearing out the story of the
assault upon her.
CasSagne, who had been choked to death
was fifty-fou years old, his wife being six
years younger. The police have arrested
two men on suspicion. They are Michael
Nigel and John Thomas. According to
Mrs, Cassagnes story, the murder occurred
at 9:30 last evening, when she and her hus-
band were preparing to retire for the night,
but the alarm was not given until after 8
o'clock this morning. The police think the
discrepancy in the woman's story may be
due to her excitement over the affair and
are waiting until she becomes calmer in or.
her to relate the facts of the murder and
robbery.

Gen. Merriam Returns.
SAN FRANCISCO. Cal, September 90
The steamer Australia arrived in port to-
day from Hawaii. Gen. Merriam. COM
mander of the department of California
who has been in Honolulu, was one of the
passengers. He was accompanied on the
voyage by Lieuts. Graves and Bennett Of
his staff.
Everything was quiet in Honolulu when
the steamer left. The people were jubilant
over the annexation, and were interesting
themselves in effort to make the gov
ernment of the islands similar to that of
the United States. The officers of the Aus
tralia say that the Arizona, with troops for
Manila. sailed September II, and the Scan
dia, with troops and treasure, was to leave
on Tuesday, September 13.
The Australia brought five sick soldiers.
Among them were Lieuts. Wallace and
Teny of the 1st New York Volunteers and
three privates from the Minnesota, North
Dakota and Montana regiments. Lieut
Hunt of the 14th Regular Infantry was also
a passenger. He was taken Ill in Honolulu
with typhoid fever and after he was con-
valescent was granted sick leave.

OUTLOOK IN IOWA
Democrats Claim a Fighting Chance
in Four Districts.
WHAT REPUBLICANS CLAIM
South Dakota IS Coming Back Into
Their Column.
REPORTS FROM KANS S

At democratic congressional committee
headquarters today it was said that en-
couraging reports have been received of
the outlook for the democrats in Iowa.
The committee it was said. had been in
receipt of cheering information for some
time. but was especially gratifed today
to obtain from republican sources in the
west confirmation of the previous reports.
a Fighting Chance.
In converse ton with a Star reporter an
the democrats have a fighting chance
that ths democrats have fighting chance
Of carrying four congressional districts in
Icwa- These were said to be the second
now represented by Mr.. Curtis; the sixth,
represented by Mr.. Lacey: the eighth, Mr..
Hepburns district. and the ninth, Mr.. Ha-
gers bailiwiCk.
The sixth district. 1t said is believed
TO present the most favorable prospects for
democratic success. 1t was explained that
Mr.. Lacey carried the district by only 200
votes two years ago, and that the district
is really debatable ground. Mr.. Weaver
has been nominated in this district, which
ne has twice carried in the past and has
effected fusion with the silver republi-
cans and populiSts.
The democrats calculate that if the re-
publican stay-at-homeS and malcontentS
cause a falling off of five per cent of Mr.
Mr. Weaver.
MIR. Hepburn's District.
In the eighth-Mr. Hepburn's district
the outlook. it is claimed by the congress
sionaI committee. is bright for the demo-
Gratis Mr.. Hepburn's majority was only SIG
two years ago. There are about 5000
voters in the district, and a stay-at-home
element amounting even to no more than =
per cent is depended upon by the democrats
to defeat Mr.. Hepburn The democratic
candidate will have fusion support, it is
expected.
In the ninth-Mr Hager's district-the re-
and the democrat Mr.. Lyons. The latter
will have the vote of the fusionists, and is
making broad claims of success.
Mr.. Curtis district the sixth is claimed
as a normal democratic district. 1t was
carried by Mr.. Walter l. Hayes in 1892 by
I.T72, while in 1894 Mr. Curtis the repub-
lican. pulled through by 436. He increased
this majority. however, to $500 in 1896.
Republican Claims
AT the republican congressional commit
tee today it was said that South Dakota
seems to be swinging back into the repub-
lican column.
Senator Pettigrew, 1t was said has sus-
pended his free silver campaign until late
in October. Mr.. H. L. Loucks. one of the
fathers Of pOpulism and the reputed author
OF the Omaha platform. has bolted the pop
uhsfs and gone back TO the republicans
on top of this came the announcement to-
day that Senator Kyle would return to the
republican fold.
Reports from Kansas are said to be favor
able for republican victories. Prosperity
" IS SAID. has been too much for the free
silver cause. and there is a general straight
ening and strengthening of the disorgan-
iZed republican lines.

state board of taxation today dismissed the
complaint of the Somerset county board of
freeholders against the assessments made
in the county Of Ocean The board, by a
vote of to 1, decided that the real estate
and personal property in Ocean county was

TALLY its true value.
Major Carl Lentz made minority report,

ing at Lakewood during the taxing season.
