A MAYOR At HOME.
But Leaves His Fireside
Six Months Each Year.
His Honor J. p. Penrose OF Silver
ton. N. Z.-He Tells How to See
the World Economically.

J. p. Penrose, for seven years mayor
of Silverton, n. H., left on the
Kee Lung Maru for Japan on Wednes-
day morning. Mr. Penrose was in Ho-
nolulu for about six weeks. He came
up on the Australian steamer to see
the sights and while here he visited all
the available places and well known
charming bits of scenery, and few
others which are not down on the reg
ular program, for Mr.. Penrose Is en-
ergetic and doesn't hesitate at the pros
pect of q long walk or a stiff climb.
Mr. Penrose travels about six
months OF every year. He has offered
to resign the mayoralty cnair, but his
townspeople will not have it, so he
holds, in consequence, the record ior
longest tenure of Office OF any mayor
in all New Zealand. He is taking only
short cut this trip. After traVelIhS
about Japan bit he purposes going
over to China, thence 10 Manila, per-
hans. and after Manila by the shortesE
route to Australia and New Zealanl.
He SAYS that travelling after this faSh-
ion is comparatively inexpensive. h'
gets along comfortably on goo a year.
On this amount he lives easily, does
not attempt to visit the swell hotels
or restaurants, but has good look at
the country and carries away a few
souvenirs. Mayor Penrose said that
he had been travelling in this way for
many years. He has practically cir
cled the globe. He says that man is
foolish noNio become acquainted with
his own country and other parts OF the
world, especially when it costs so 1T
| tie to do so.
on one of his trips Mayor Penrose
visited England. He bought pair oi
horses and trap, hired groom and
secured England and Scotland and
Wales from Cornwall to Sutherland
| He returned to London, sold his turn
| out, discharged his groom and visited
Ireland. This was an expensive triT
and It cost him in the neighborhood o
Il 900 before he got back to his native
town in New Zealand.
Mayor Penrose intends to be hom'
at Christmas. Like most other tray
elers he was delighted with what N
saw of Hawaii. His pleasure appearet
genuine for he volunteered the intor
nation. He says he will come again.

SPAIN'S WANING EMPIRE.
Since 1909 Her Territory Has Ora
dually Dwindled.

when Philip ii ascended the Spanish
throne in 1856 he found himself ruler OF
an Empire which rivaled that OF Rome In
magnihcence and extent. For two hun
dred years the Empire had been marvel
ously prosperous. Under Ferdinand ana
Isabella the Moors were conquered and
America was discovered.
II was Philip IL who, with the aid OF
the lnquisltion, attempted TO root out
Professionalism. Under his tyrannical rule
the decadence Of Spain began. During
the latter part Of his reign Spain lost
all, or nearly all, Of her dependencies In
North Africa, and early In the next reign
Burgundy, Naples, Sicily and the Milan
ese.
l609-The Netherlands.

LOSSES IN BATTLE.

The New York Sun says that as
compared with the loss inf cted on
the United States forces by the Con-
federates in the great battles OF the
civil war the loss at Santiago is small
when the fact Is taken into considera-
ton that our forces in the Cuban
battle were assaulting a fortified posi-
ton OF the enemy. In all, counting
5000 Cubans engaged. there were ap-
proximately $4,000 troops opposed to
the Spaniards. If there have been as
many as 500 casualties from wounds,
heat prostrltlons, and capture that
would be Ia per cent.

No More War Risk.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Marine
underwriters say that the writing of
marine war risks had fallen to small
proportions. Even though the rates
were very low many American vessels
are now sailing without any war in
surance, so little fear is there OF dang
er from Spanish naval vessels. a
prominent dealer in foreign exchange
said:
The insurance against war risk is
not generally eXacted any more. Any
shipper may dispense with It when
making this as a condition at the time
of the sale of his exchange"

CORTES SESSION STORMY.
WcyIer Condemns Government-sav-
age Criticism of Generals.

| MADRID, September THE Chamber
/ has followed the Senate in discussing the
late war behind closed doors. This action
has caused the greatest sensation.
The Senate session also was a stormy
one General Weyler, Dominguez, Azcar-
raga, Polaviega, and Rivera attended.
General Weyer reminded the Senate Of
how Count d'Almenas had greeted the re-
turning soldiers. ignoring the officers lie
declared that this was a reflection upon
the officers efficiency.
1.-THE mistakes made in Cuba are not 70
&c blamed upon the army" he said, but
upon the politicians at the head Of the
government" The latter he declared,
were responsible for not sending supplies
TO the armies in cuba and Porto Rico,
and, indeed, for completely abandoning
them. The ministers of war and marine
ought to have resigned. Had the army
been properly equipped" he continued, "it
would not have failed"
CERVERA.
at would have been better for Admiral
Cerveras squadron TO remain at the Ca
naries, for no practical end was served
by sending the ships to Santiago"
what measures did the government
take to protect the squadron" General
Weyler asked hotly. The responsibility
for the surrender Of Santiago rested
wholly upon the government, instead Of
on General Toral.
General Weyler cOndemned the secret
sessions Of the Cortes, and concluded his
speech as follows: Il desire to speak to
all Spain, and not merely to the govern
ment."
Count dAlmenas. replying TO General
Weylers structures, said:
GENERALS INCAPABLE"
81 addressed my greetings TO those who
have been martyrs for their country-the
Spanish soldiers-because they deserved
such greetings. l did not address the
generals, for they showed themselves in
capable of leading soldiers to battle or OF |
showing them how to fall worthily on the !
feIG."
Marshal Primo de Rivera shouted, |
"'That is not trueT and General Weyler |
and others Joined In the protest.
Count d'Almenas. addressing General
Rivera, replied: IL am not afraid OF such
cries or of epaulets, or the decorations
that will have TO be torn or the breasts
Of several officers. The sashes OF some
should be torn or and put
around their necks."
A great uproar ensned.

HOW THE CLUBS STAND.

Richmond IS still playing winning ball,
and climbing pennantward. She took
.mc from Hartford yesterday and that
Too with very little trouble. The Hart
,,-5 team. without Joe Smith in the short
field is by no means as strong as when
here last. and the probabilities are large
fy i1 favor OF Richmond's making 1t three
straight from the Connecticut lads. She
viii certainly do it. II the game the Nut
-.sr lads put up yesterday is any sample
.f their best work.
Wood was I'm 10 toss for Hartford, and
81 .s possible that he is responsible Tor the
,..s with which Richmond won. The
ruebirds pounded him TO their satisfac-
rtop. and made their hits count for runs
Sparks twirled for Richmond, and he
proved almost invincible to the Nutmeg
rraters. They made five hits oft Of him,
Int only once were they able 10 bunch,
and then they scored their lonely run.
DROWsY GAME.
Roth pitchers were given good support
that is. the support was nearly errorless-
Urt there was drowsiness about the
movements of the Hartford team when
took much interest from the game and
loft the old-tme cranks who love an eX-
citing contest much TO wish for.
Richmond started her run-getting in the
first inning, and kept it up until the hfth'
when she secured three and made her
total five. This was an abundance, for
Hartford had scored nothing, and she did
r.t show her hand until the eighth.

GEN. wBEELER's son DROWNED.
Also Lieutenant Kirkpatrick, OF yir-
sinin-They We're IN Batn,ns.


CAMP WIKOFF, MONTAUK POINT,
J.. l.. September Thomas IL. Wheeler,
son of General Joseph Wheeler, and Sc
cond-Lieutenant Newton ID. kirkpatrick,
First Cavalry, were probably drowned
while bathing here this afternoon.
| Young Wheeler was a naval cadet In
| his second year. He had been acting on
his fathers staf for some time past. lie
was II years of age, was a fine young
| fellow, and had made host OF friends
among the older officers.
Together with Lieutenant Kirkpatrick
he went 10 the beach this afternoon TO
enjoy the surf bathing. The surf ran
high, and the undertow was very strong.
Apparently no one saw the young men
drowned, and it was not until about
o'clock that they were missed. Their
clothes were found a short distance from
General Wheeler's tent, close to the wa
ter and 1t is believed that the young
officers were swept away by the strong
seas.
WATCH FOR THE BODIES.
Tonight a detail Of sixty men from
the First Cavalry is stationed along the
coast to watch for the bodies, that may
be thrown upon shore.
While in command at Camp Wikon
General Wheeler's headquarters were To-
Gated on a high hill near the station, a
considerable distance back from the wa
ter 1t was only to-day that his head
quarters were shifted down 10 the beach
His tent and the tents OF his staff officers
are not more than twenty yards from the
waters edge. 1t was this change or To-
cation that gave young Wheeler and
young Kirkpatrick an opportunity to In
dulge themselves in the surf. they mad
often spoken of so doing. and every one
here is convinced that they were drowned
to-day.
OF the accident General Wheeler mas
nothing to say. His three daughters.
two of whom have been acting as nurses
in the general hospital and the other has
been doing duty as a nurse In the deten-
ton hospital, are with him, grief stricken. |

The convention met at noon in the
| Opera-House, being called to order by w.

| District Committee.
GREAT CONFUSION, OF COURSE.
George L. Hart, the secretary, read a
| list OF accredited delegates from places
where there were no contests, and then
the trouble began. Contestng delegates
began 10 demand a hearing, and great
confusion ensued.
Allen l. Hairless, Of Montgomery, was
made temporary chairman, and George $.
Fftzwater, Of Montgomery, sergeant-at-
arms.
The officers were at once required TO
quiet William Merchant (colored), who
was demanding recognition. He refused
to give up the floor, and a crowd collect
ed around him.
Police Sergeant Pendleton was in the
building, and had TO be called on before
comparative quiet was restored. The
Chair refused to recognize the contesting
delegates, and Sergeant Pendleton was
called on to remove Merchant from the
hall. The latter was followed by the con-
testing delegations from Campbell. Bed
ford, Roanoke, and one Of the delegates
elected from Lynchburg.
The crowd, which originally numbered
about 49, was considerably reduced by
this exodus. The boiling contingent went
10 True Reformers' Hall, and business
was resumed in the opera House, the
chairman announcing the committees

attack Of fever. IS denied i'm toto by Ma
jor J. r. Kean, surgeon in charge Of the
Second Division Hospital, where the thing
was reported TO have occurred.
The medical staff are indignant at the
charge. which they say is baseless and
impossible. An examination of the re-
cord OF the patient in the hospital shows
that his temperature at no time OF his
sixteen-days' stay in the hospital was
above 1O2, and ran most of the time be-
low 100, and at no time was he seriously

The matter is to be thoroughly investi-
