HIGH MORTALITY
OF American Troops in Cnba-An Eng
lish Physicians Opinion.

lish Physicians Opinion.
New York, Sept. GA dispatch
to the World from London says:
Sir William McCormac, president
of the Royal College of Surgeons,
of England, surgeon to the Prince
Of Wales, and one of the most dis
tinguished members Of his profess
sion in Europe, who acted as sur
geon to the Anglo-American am
bulance association in the Franco
German war, was asked his opinion
concerning the causes of the high
mortality from illness among the
United States troops. He said
Il have only very vague informa-
ton on the subject and it is one
on which no medical man could
give an opinion of the slightest
value except upon precise and ex-
haustive data.
That the mortality is high is
unfortunately patent, especially
when compared to that from illness
among our expeditions to tropical
countries.
But our experience in that re,
spect compares very favorablv with
that Of all other countries. France
suffered terribly from illness in
MISUNDERSTANDING, l fancy, in
battle, Italy, too, had serious
losses from the same causes in
Abyssinia.
In our expeditions to the west
coast of Africa our losses from i'll
ness have been trifing."
rs the west coast OF Africa more
unhealthy than Cuba?" Sir William
was asked.
"Of course it is much more un'
healthy" was the reply. There is
no reason, that l can see, why with
proper precautions, mortality from
illness among the United States
troops in Cuba should have exceed
ed our mortality from such cause
on the west coast of Africa.
Then. again, you will notice
that the force operating under the
sirdar in the Soudan has enjoyed E
remarkable immunity frc m illness.

York at 6:35 o'clock this evening.
In anticipation of the arrival of
General Miles, several hundred peo-
pie had assembled at the station.
AS General Miles stepped from
the rear platform of his car he gave
"a kind greeting to his coachman,
who stood awaiting him, and then
handed him bundle of souvenir
canes, while in turn grasping the
hands of Captain Morton, Major
Black and two or three newspaper
men.
AS General Miles passed through
the crowd in the station his hands
were shaken a score of times by
enthusiastic men and women. He
gave cordial greeting to all, and,
as he and Mrs. Miles and Col. Mich.
Ter stepped into the carriage, the
crowd burst into cheers.
While expressing his gratihcatlon
at the successful termination OF the
war, and his pleasure at once more
being home, General Miles said he
had nothing to say at this time in
addition to the statement given to
the press by him in New York.
From the Pennsylvania station
General and Mrs. Miles were con-

Charleston w. Va. Sept. I, %

Charleston w. Va. Sept. I, 'e9.
After consultation with the diff
ferent organizations interested, Gov.
Atkinson has fixed upon Wednes-
day, September 20, 1898. as the
date for the dedication Of the mon
uments erected by the State of
West Virginia, on the Gettysburg
battlefield. This solemn duty, so
long delayed, now claims our earn
est attention, and it is expected
that these dedicatory exercises will
be largely attended.
The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road has made half rate to Get
tysburg from all points on its lines
in West Virginia, and it is believed
that the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Cumberland Valley will do the
same.
1t is possible that the Second
West Virginia Infantry, now at
Camp Meade, Middletown, Pa, may
60 to Gettysburg, to take part in
the ceremonies. Gov. Atkinson is
in communication with the authori.
ties at Washington relative to the
matter, and if such arrangement is
completed, due announcement will
be made. 1t will be peculiarly ap.
propriate for the soldiers of two
wars to have part in honoriug the
memory of those who freely gave
their lives for the land they loved"
Camp Meade is only IS miles from
the battlefield. and those having
friends in the Second Regiment will
find this an excellent opportunity
to visit them.
Persons going to Gettysburg
should arrive there not later than
10 o'clock a. m., Wednesday, the
20 inst. The exercises will begin
az 1890 o'clock, near the monu-
ment to the Seventh Infantry on
East Cemetery Hill.
Gov. Atkinson will deliver the
principal address, and be followed
briefly bv Adjt. Gen. Appleton and
Col. G. Kelly, who has had charge
of the erection OF the monuments.
A representative of each West Vir,
ginia organization engaged in the
battle, namely: First and Third
Cavalry, Seventh Infantry, and
and Battery c, First Artillery, will
give some account of the part his
command had in that memorable
engagement of July I, 2, 3. 1903.
Let there be large representation
from each of these old organiza.
tions.
Come out, comrades, and see
this historic field with its more than
three hundred monuments; renew
old friendship, many of them weld
ed in the fires of battle, and COM
merate the fidelity. loyalty and
patriotism OF West Virginia's brave
sons.

THE NEW ADMINISTRATION
Governors Murphy'S First Day at
 the Executive Chambers.

Governor Murphy was at the e-iecu- tive chambers yesterday morning, where he was called upon by many visitors. At 1 o'clock he returned to his apartments at the Hotel Adams and remained there dur ing the rest of the day. He was seen by a Republican reporter last night five undertaken no official business yet" said he. "I have been quite sick, but I feel better now than yesterday and will feel still better to- morrow In a few days I shall be able to get down to business.
 Regarding his immediate policy, the governor said that he had outlined it generally in his brief address of Tuesday night, in which he had prom ised the people the best government he could give Just how he should proceed at once would depend upon conditions with which he had not had time to acquaint himself. Nothing would be done hastily, but time would be taken that injustice might not be done. On the subject of the admins tration the governor had nothing more l to say.
 I Concerning the business situation in the east, said he: From cOmmer- cial view one sees nothing of the war. It is difficult to imagine that one is going on. There is plenty of money and it is cheap. Business is in most satisfactory condition. When one goes to Washington, though, he realizes that the country is at war.
 Speaking of the rapidity with which great events had followed each other and what had been accomplished Tn single term of congress, he said there had been a declaration of war within three months, the United States had been transformed into one of the great naval powers of the world, great war measure had been passed of which all but it's stamp features would likely be retained. Two power ful fleets of the enemy had been oe- stroyed and the country had Deen brought within a clear view of a VIC torious peace, in which, by the way, crisis was presented. But the coun- try had the greatest faith in the WIS dom of the president, who had alreaoy

BAKRUPTCY DECISION.
New General Law Deprives State
 Courts of Jurisdiction.

Milwaukee. Wis. Aug. s.-Judge John son, in the circuit court, has handed down an opinion to the effect that the new general bankrupt law has deprived the state courts of jurisdiction in bank Iuptcy cases.
 Vim. Gerhard who made voluntary assignment a year ago, and wanted to have the slate wiped off, so that he could begin even with the world again, asked for an order discharging him as an in- solvent debtor from his obliga tions.
 This the judge refused to do and in his opinion stated that a cursory study of the bankruptcy laws convinced him that the state laws are imperative and had been since July 1, informing the attor- neys they would have to wait until Aug ust l, when a petition may be filed in bankruptcy in the United States court.
 The papers were withdrawn and the discharge will be asked of the federal court. The ruling of the court struck principals and attorneys in pending as- signment proceedings with surprise. as it will operate to suspend proceedings in all cases and send them to the federal court

Zola's Friends Disdain to Wear the

Paris, Aug. 3.-The expulsion of Emile Zola from the Legion of Honor promises to create a serious division in the organ ization. The well-known author, Jules Barbier, resigned yesterday on account of Zola's expulsion, and this morning De Pressenz, editor of the Temps, took a similar course, saying it is ''repugnant to wear a decoration which still orna- mentS the breast of a man like Ester hay, while it has been removed from that of a great writer simply because he demands that the most elementary prin- cipleS of law and justice be respected
