POOR MANS FARM COLONY.
Land Purchased Near Cleveland
nv the Salvation Army.

Cleveland, Ohio, May 3o.-Commander
Booth-Tucker, head of the Salvation Ar
nv in America, who arrived in Cleve-
land Saturday. announces that the Army
has purchased a tract of 80 acres OF
land near Mentor a few miles east of
Cleveland.
The property is to be used as a coloni-
zation farm. to be divided into sections
of five acres each. and needy people
stranded in the big cities will be given
an opportunity to buy on time and be-
come comfortably self-supporting- Within
the next two or three weeks some Oh the
colonists will be located.
I'VE have on our books already l,~o
names" said the commander, repre-
senting 5000 people, whom we will assist
in this way as soon as We have enough
land. We are trying to get an option on
more land in the neighbOrhood.
I'VE are seeking to get back into coun-
try work farming people who nave come
TO the cities and lost their homes"
In connection with the farm the Army
will start a loan association as Coop
erative organization. modelled after the
plan started in Germany fifty years ago.
The Army is seeking to locate similar
colonies in various portions OF the United
States, and special commissioners have
been appointed to that work. The first OF
these farm colonies was that which was
founded at Soledad, Cal, and which was
a decided success.

AN IMPORTANT DECISION.
Sensational Opinion Handed Down in
a Railroad Case

Railroad Case
Raleigh. N. c.. May 30.-The supreme
court has filed an opinion of marked i'm
portance to railroads and their employees
Greenlee. an employe in the Southern
Railroad yard at Asheville. was crushed
while coupling cars. The court below
gave $500 damages. The supreme court
sustains this.
Justice Clark, delivering the opinion.
said: 'In any aspect of the case the
defendant is liable, whether the plaintiff
was or was not guilty of contributory
negligence of the defendant in not having
self-couplers and In sending a man to
couple cars at all was a contributory
negligence which existed prior to the sub
sequenr contributory negligence"
Justice Clark goes on to say that the
defendant was warned six years ago It
must use self-couplers and was guilty of
gross negligence in failing to do SO.
Chief Justice Faircloth and Associate
Justice Furches file dissenting opinions.
That of Justice Furches was originally
the opinion of the court. but he makes a
footnote saying: 1.-The court changed Its
mind" In his opinion he says Greenlee
had been warned never to use his hands.
but a stick in coupling cars. Chief JUS
tice Faircloth's dissent Is sensational.
He says: 'T very much regret the tone
and language of the opinion of the court.
For more than half a century 1 find no
such precedent in the opinions of our
predecessors"

Gen. Grants Promotion Not Unt-
versally Satisfactory.
Chattanooga, Tenn. May 2s.-Today was
one of the hottest days at Camp Thomas
since the volunteers began to pour into
Chicka mauga, as at the time when the
Twelfth and Fourteenth New York regi-
ments arrived the mercury was almost
at the 80 point 1t was a day Of rest for
the troops. The men thoroughly enjoyed
the pleasure of doing nothing but loung-
ing around. swimming, writing letters.
etc.
Gen. Grants promotion has been re-
ceived with satisfaction throughout the
Fourteenth New York Volunteers, but
there are q few men among the New York
regiments who do not admire the new
general. and when reference to his ap-
pointment is made, a sneer may be de-
tected on the faces Of these, who are not
outspoken in their disapproval. However.
the promotion is approved by a majority
of the officers and soldiers at the camp.
Col. John Jacob Astor will tomorrow
take the field. Heretofore Gen. Breckin-
ridge and Col. Astor have returned to
the city each evening and slept in soft
beds in the best hotel in Chattanooga.
But tomorrow night Col. Astor will sleep
on a cot on the battle field.
Gen. Breckinridge. when he first came
had no idea that he would be here more
than four or five days, but he is not half
through the work Of inspecting the camp
yet. In order to save time he has decid-
ed to locate his headduaIters on the field
and tomorrow his tent win be pitched by
the side Of Maj. Gen Wilson's headquar-
ters.
It is estimated that there were 10000
visitors at Camp Thomas today. Excur-
sion trains from nearby towns brought
in hundreds Of people.
Troops L and q. Of. Col. Grigsby' s
rough riders, 166 men. were the only ar
rivals today. They went into camp this

Paris, May 29.-President Faure visited
ST. Etienne today for the purpose Of un-
yelling monument to those who were
slain there In 1870. There was process
sion and NJ. Faure was cordially received.
He attended a banquet in the evening and
in replying to a toast to his health took
occasion to deplore the Spanish-American
war. which, he said, France had vainly
tried to prevent.
Continuing. he said that France was re-
solved to observe the strictest neutrality.
He had hopes that the efforts Of the neu-
trail states would result in the re-estab-
lishment of peace
Referring TO the Franco-Russian alll-
ance, NJ. Faure said 1t enabled Frances

powers to the advantage of peace or

interests or rights. The present position
of France and her foreign relations gave
evidence Of the esteem in which she Is

The president reminded his hearers Of
the obligations of a continuity Of policy
and the acceptance of all sacrifices by
the army and navy with the view to an
honorable and enduring peace.

A DAY OF REST.

Few Callers and No Events Of Ism
portance at the White House.
Sunday was an exceedingly quiet day
at the Executive Mansion. Its contrast
to a week Of momentous events and
much grave business came as a relief to
the President and his staff.
There was the usual number OF Sun
day callers. but most of them were mere
visitors, and few requested or were
granted an audience with the President.
Editor Kohlsaat. Of Chicago. appeared
at the White House IN the afternoon to
exchange "hellos'' with the man whom
he backed during the late campaign with
money and columns Of less effective edi-
torial preparations.
Secretary Wilson, with his wife and
daughters, were among the few Inn
portant callers Of the evening. The Sec
retary OF Agriculture was closeted with
the President for over an hour. On leav-
ing he denied that his visit bore any
political Significance.
Bishop Hurst, the Presidents religious
adviser, also called at the Executive
Mansion late In the day.

st. Thomas. Danish West Indies, May s9.-Mr.
Emerson, a German newspaper correspondent, is
likely to lose his life as spy in Porto Rico un-
less he is promptly rescued. He left here on Mon
day for ST. Croix in a sail boat. He took another
sail boat Tuesday at st. Croix for Ponce, Porto
Rico. His newspaper friends here were notified
today by cable that he had been arrested at
Caguas, Porto Rico. on Thursday. Later he es-
caped whereupon the alcalde declared him =

The cable dispatch asserts that the German
consul is unable to protect Mr.. Emerson, although
the reason is not known here, details being
meager. The only German consular officer now
at San Juan is a local merchant. who is unable
to act vigorously and independently because
of his business interests.
The accusation Of spying is not believed to be
legitimate here and it is believed that the charge
is due to the general prejudice against newspaper
men.

CROWDS AT GLEN ECHO.
Concert Brings Severa Thousand
People to the Resort,


People to the Resort.
The good opinion created on SATURDAY.
night by the Parry Opera Company's pro-
duction of ''The Mikado" was redoubled
BY the two concerts given there yester-
day. Despite a prospect of rain, that
speedily developed into a decided reality,
the crowds were enormous, and extra ef-
fort was necessary on the part of the
railway companies to transport those who
desired to CO. Abundant preparation had
been made. however. for any emergency,
and every one found the Glen remarkably
easy Of access.
No better Sunday concert has ever been
within walking distance of Washington
than that of last night. The program was
carefully arranged. and included va
riety of entertainment. Classic and pop
ular numbers were carefully contrasted
and intermingled, while great deal OF
space was given to national airs and 9TH
er patriotic selections. Nearly every
number was heartily encored.
After a overture by the orchestra, un-
der George P. Towle. Mabel Whitney ap-
peared and contributed Dinorah's "Shad-
ow Dance" her high soprano being heard
to exceptional advantage; Thomas DAILY
next gave "The Armorer's Song" from
