GREENE EXPECTS TROUBLE.
He Believes American Forces Can Con-
troll the situation In Havana-The
General VIII Resign.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 27.-Major Gen.
eral Francis V. Greene, U. S. ", ac.
comp1nied by his aide, Lieutenant
Schuyler Schietferlin, Forty seventh
New York volunteer infantry, passed
through this city on their way from
Havana to New York city. General
Greene paid a flying visit to the war
department and consulted with Adju-
tant General Corbin.
He said there would undoubtedly be
trouble in the maintenance of order
pending the transfer of the control of
affairs from the Spanish government to
the United States military authorities,
but that he did not anticipate that 1t
would reach proportions beyond the
control Of the American forces. Ac-
cording to his representations the feel
ing between the Spaniards and Oubans Is
intensely bitter, a serious rupture be-
tween the two factions being averted
only by the presence of the American
troops and the knowledge that the
American military authorities are de-
termined TO preserve order by the
prompt exercise of force in case OF
necessity.
General Greene has large private in.
terests in New York state and gave
notice to the adJutant general of his
desire to be relieved from further mill.

pansion but thinks it would be great
mis- axe to reject the treaty, saying that
IF the treaty is rejected negotiations
must be renewed, and instead of settling
the question according TO our ideas, we
must settle it by diplomacy, with the
possibility of international complica-
tions; hence it is safer and better to end
the war at once by ratifying the treaty
and then deal WITH the subjects in our
own way" Mr.. Bryan is emine nty a
practical, straightforward man, and an
American citizen Of the right STAMP,

Way Present Officers.

PITTsBURG, Dec %. - A hundred
I'ittsburgers have formed an Anti
Swearing League which is to be the
nucleus of organized effort to quell the
growing habit among men, evidenced
in nearly every public place. The
league will receive its members at de-
posit of cents each. Any man may
become a member, aud while women
are not invited TO membership, their
assistance, If volunteered, will be ac-
| cepted in an effort to extend the organi.
zation in Allegheny county to $4,000
members
An anti.swearing Lacquer does not
| need to be an active or passive member
of any church society. He has only to
pledge himself that he will make a
diligent effort to stop the despised habit.
He will be asked TO get at least ten
members to swell the membership of
the organization, and by the "endless
chain" plan. the membership will
readily extend TO the maximum. Aux
iliaries will be organized in all the cities
of the country. The same system of
extending membership will make the
movement an easy accomplishments.
Members will pledge themselves to
eAtTb IutlI W blc
purpose of the league at every turn. A
blaspheming friend, or acquaintance,
will, when caught, be reminded of the
inexCusable thing ne is doing.
The third commandment is just as
important as any other. 1t says Thou
! shalt not take the name o. the Lord,
thy God, in vain; for the Lord will not
hold him gdiitless that taketh, His name
III vain. ."
The organization in Pittsburg, which
is to be the nucleus of this movement,
has elected temporary officers and will
be chartered. its members will soon be
seen on tn Pttsburg streets wearing u
button TESTIFY ng to their membership.
1t will not be sectarian IN any way
and will not take up the work of the
church in any other matter. The pres
ent officers Of the Pittsburg league are:
A. p. Moore, president; John 5. Elan.
merry, vice president; o. A. Williams,
secretary, and T. Mckee Graham,

here by Detective Louis Wolf of the
local force as a suspicious character, he
having offered a lot of goods for sale at
about 20 per cent of the actual value.
He gave the name of Harry Wilson
when arrested, but in court he said his
right name was Harry Church and that

which point he started out two years
ago. AT different places here before his
arrest he gave the names of II. V. Nor

Mrs. Church is here in the city, but

his business. They were married in
Illinois. The crime for which Dun

RATIFICATION OF THE TREATY.

Mr., Bryan's views as to the ratifca-
ton of the treaty is pretty generally
regarded as sound advice, and it ia
having its influence, for he is considered
a man of sound Judgment and worthy
of confidence. No man stands higher
today Ia public estimation.
The treaty is, just now, the prominent
and pressing feature in our political
affairs, and must be fully and fairly con-
sidered and acted on without delay.
Mr.. Bryan realizes this and very op-
portunely gives his views thereon and
the proper thing to do in the premises,
saying that "hencefoith greed has per-
verted the government and used its in
stTumental interference for private gain;
but now the very foundation principles
of our government are assaulted"
Mr.. Bryan evidentally thinks that the
on ntry is in great danger from the
threatened Inauguration cf the colonial
policy of Europe, and he warns against
it, saying; "We may believe that
governments come up from the people,
or we may believe that government,
come down to the people from those
who possess the heaviest canpons and
the largest ships, but we cannot advo
cate both doctrines. This country
cannot endure half republic and hall
colony, half free and half vl.ssal."
1t will be seen that Mr.. Bryan is op.
posed to the doctrine of colonial ex.

A GREAT SURVEY.

The United States coast and Geodetic
survey has just com pleted the largest
base line ever measured on the earth's
surface. About 25 years have been
spent in the triangulations, and the
surface work has been confirmed by a
series OF astronomical observations in
which 3S chronometers timed by the
astral clock at Washington furnished
simultaneous reports by telegraph.
In working out the data the time re-
ports We're corrected to the one hun.
dredth part of second.
This great work is an important CON
tribution to exact science, and certainly
reflects credit upon the country. This
new base will replace several short
bases in Europe and one on the line OF
the equator in Ecuador which has been
mainly used in making calculations.
The new line is measured on a great
circle westerly from Cape May, follow
ing as nearly as might be the one line
of latitude to the Pacific coast No
other country on the earth could fur.

The explorations of the Russian
scientist Andrussow have established
o very curious fact The Black sea,
which in some parts has a depth of
more than $500 feet, is poisoned by
sulphureted hydrogen wherever the
water is deeper than 1900 feet. This
accounts for the curious fact that there
is no organic life below that depth, ex.
cepting perhaps some bacteria of very
low order, impregnated with sulphur.
The causes for this phenomenon are ex-
planned by the quick outflow of the
fresh water through the Bosporous,
while salt water coming from the Med
iterranean enters through deeper cur
rent into the depths of the Black sea.
The waters on the surface are, there
fore, controlled absolutely by horizontal
currents of considerable force, and YER
tical currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the sur
face to the bottom are hardly ever no.
tioeable. The water at great depths is
now so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the disintegration of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason Of its
weight that no fish or other living be-
ing which needs oxygen for its organic
system can exist beyond stated depth.

Uncle had not been considered seri-
ously i'll more than about fortnight or
so before the end, writes Carlyle's
nephew, John O. Aitken, in The Allan
tic. The vital spark of life toward the
last days kept Pickering in way so ex-
traordinary that the doctor declared he
had never met such tenacity of life and
vitality in the whole course of his varied
London and other experience. Dear
uncle, the good, true and noble old man
that he was, really suffered little in the
way of pain for some weeks before his
death, which was itself little more than
gentle Pickering sleep, ending in a
scarcely heard last sigh of sound.
While lying in comatose or uncon-
scious state his mind seemed to wander
back to old Annandale memories of his
ever loved ones and their surroundings;
his mother holding her supreme seat,
surrounded by a trooping throng Of once
familiar faces not very greatly less dear
to him. He died full of years, with all
his weary task Of worlds work we'll
and uobly done, and leaves no mortal
behind him who does not love and rev.
erence his life and memory.

American Evacuation Commissioners Tell
Citizens of Cuba They Must
Keen the Peace,

HAVANA, Dec. 27-The American
evacuation commissioners issued a
proclamation to the inhabitants of
the island of Cuba announcing the
terms OF the evacuation agreement,
saying that the Spaniards have well
treated them and they propose to &C.
cord them good treatment and warning
them that any violation Of the terms of
agreement or any causing of irritation
or trouble will be met with serious
punishment. The terms of the agree
ment have been pretty thoroughly cov-
cred in these dispatches recently, also
the plans for the evacuation ceremonies.
