rHEsoc,AL DEMOCRACY SPLITS
Debs Has Started Another New Party-A
Green Mountain Falls COLONY.


Green Mountain Falls Colony.
Chicago, ILL.,, June 12.-Eugene v.
Debs and his followers split from the
Social Democracy yesterday, when the
national convention of that body in
dorsed his colonial scheme, but not his
political plans. Jesse Cox Is tempor-
ary chairman of the new party, Will
lam Maille secretary, and the eXecu
tive committee is composed of Eugene
v. Debs, Seymour Stedman, Victor
Berger, Jesse Cox and Fred Heath. A.
s. Edwards is made national organizer
and the national headquarters will be
established somewhere outside of Chi
cago.
The platform of the new party de-
clares for vigorous use of the ballot to
remedy all labor troubles, public own
ership of monopolies, railroads, tele-
graph lines, mines, Introduction Of the
Initiative and referendum, abolition of
war, women's rights, naturalization of
farm mortgages, improvement of farm
lands by use of national credit, and
uniform rate for transportation of
grain.
The main body of the Social Democ-
racy continued its sessions in Ulich's
Hall. On account of the many vacant
seats caused by the seeding of the
Debs faction, the reports of the officers
and the auditing committee were de-
ferred until some future meeting. The
plan of the colonization commission to
establish mt once n mining colony at
Green Mountain Falls, Colorado, was
adopted.
The following were then selected as
members of the executive council:
John f. Lloyd, James Hogan, I.
Frank, ]. G. Hinton, l.. Goodwin, l.. L.
Hopkins, j. Borlund. G. II. Willard
and G. c. Clemens. The choice Of a
chairman was left to the council.

STILL DELAYiHC.
That Fleet Has Not Yet Sailed for san,,-
ARO,

ago.
Washington, June 1O.-Out of the
maze of doubt and contradiction as tG
the dispatch of the first army of In
vasion to Cuba, one thing stands out
clearly, namely, that the government,
feeling strong in its present position
and plan, is moving cautiously and
with the deliberation which it believes
disasters. With this main purpose in
view, the army and navy are cooper
ating toward the dispatch of the
troops, some 25,OOO in number, under
escort of strong ileet of naval con
voys, made up of sixteen warships
headed by the battleship Indiana.
Unattended by this strong fleet, the
troops might have left last Friday
when one strong naval convoy was
ready for this service. Since then
however, reports have come as to the
presence of Spanish ships in the
north Atlantic. Realizing that moth
ing was to be gained by haste, and
that the war was progressing steadily
towards success, 1t was determined
not to take the one small chance of
having our troops transports menaced
by some scouting ships of the enemy.
AS a result, the troops transports have
not proceeded to Cuba, either yester-
day or the day before. as has been re-
peatedly asserted. They are in readi-
ness to go, but will not move until
the naval convoy is ready to accom-
pany them. assuring safe conduct
from Florida to the point Of destina
ton.

THE SANTIAGO EXPEDITION,
composed of Reguiars-How Troops Will
lie Landed

lie Landed.
Chlcago, June 12.-General Shafter's
expedition 10 Santiago de Cuba is COM
posed entirely of regular army soldiers,
win the addition of the Seventy-first
New 1ork, Second Massachusetts and
eight troops of the First volunteer cav
airy winch Is familiarly known as
hoosevelts rough riders. These regi-
ments were selected by General Miles
aIter an inspection of the entire vol
unteer camp at Tampa because he be-
heved them to be better drilled, better
equipped and in better condition to
stand the climate than any Of the 9TH
ers of the volunteer army.
Inc expedition expects to arrive at
place called Nueva Salamanca, for
merry known as Bniguiri, about twelve
miles east of Santiago, where there is
n breakwater and n pier erected some
years ago by an iron company, Of
which John ID. Rockefeller Is the prin-
cipal stockholder. This company was
organized by George II. Ely of Cleve-
land, and Is operated by his nephew,
who comes from Elyria, Ohio. The
mines are about three miles inland at
a place called Juragua, and produce Il
remarkable kind of Bessemer ore
which is chiefly used at the Sparrow
pier was expressly constructed for
handling ore and there are dumps,
chutes and hoisting machinery of mod
ern design by which 1t is transferred
from the cars to the ship.
The little railway which runs back
to the mines is said to be in excellent
condition, and ever since our navy has
been investing Santiago Admiral
Sampson has been on the lookout lest
this pier should be disturbed. At the
last reports 1t was all right and the
navy people think they can protect 1t
until the arrival of the troops.
The folly and the lack of foresight
exhibited by the Spaniards from the
beginning the war is illustrated very
forcibly here. BY destroying this pier
they could have prevented the landing
of siege guns, but by leaving it they
have enabled General Shafter to get
his heavy artillery ashore without
much difficulty.
The pier can accommodate about
eight vessels and will be used for
those which carry heavy cargoes. The
remainder of the expedition will disem-
bark at the mouth Of the Jaragua riv-
er, which empties into the sea about
nine miles east of the entrance to
Santiago harbor, which can accommo-
date vessels of any draught. for it has
seventeen fathoms of water within 400
yards of the shore. There is a light
house there elevated sixteen feet above
the sea- with two lanterns. Near the
mouth of the Juragua river are three
small bays. protected by high. sharp
hills, called Los Altares, or The AL
tars, upon which the Spanish have
placed fortifications and mounted
heavy modern guns to command the
entrance of the river and the pier, but
Admiral Sampson will look out for
them.
The inhabitants about Nueva Sala-
manca are nearly all In the employ of
the American iron company. and their
sympathies are naturally with the Unit
ed States. General Skaters ships are
accompanied by pilots who are thor
oughly familiar with the coast, and
have been engaged in the transporta-
tion Of ore between the Juragua mines
and Baltimore.

MISS REELS OFFICE.
She Is Regarded by the Government A.
Well Qualified for tho Place.


Well Qualified for the Place.
Protests have been received at the In
terior Department against the removal
of DR.. Hailmann, superintendent OF In
dian schools, and the appointment OF
Miss Estelle Reel us his successor.
Most of them come from educational,
philanthropic and religious organiza-
tlons, Indian Right socities and other
bodies which are taking active part in
Indian education. But the change in
the office has not been made without
careful dcliberation and II thorough in
vestigation of the qualifications OF the
persons and interests involved. From
an educational standpoint DIR. Hall
mann has had the entire confidence OF
the department. but rs an executive Of
ficer he has been decided failure. His
efficiency on the technical side of the
work has been demonstrated beyond
question, but upon the practical side he
is said to be weak. His theories COM
mend themselves. and the essays he
has read and the lectures he has deliv-
cred on Indian education have called
for much favorable comment. But at
the same time 1t is explained that DIR.
Hailmann has failed In some very i'm
portant features of his work, and has
shown more interest in the general
welfare than in the Individual affairs
of the schools. Some of them he has
never visited, although he has been In
office four years.-Chicago Record.

If 'it is not time. therefore in view Of
these indisputable facts, that we should

they involuntarily reproduce all the
symptoms of .hydrophoba.' 1t is a pity
that our newspaper editors cannot have

women during the summer months and
agree to suppress the reports. of cases
supposed to be 'hydrophobia. They make
the public mind nervous and do more to
spread the silly notion of belief In

have had their feelings played upon long
enough by this foolish notion of hydro

is often killed for nothing but popular

ARMY SUPPLIES.
TREMENDOUS QUANTITY RE-
QUIRED.
Millions of Dollars Worth of Clothing
Must BE Furnished at Once.

The most interesting scene of mill
tary activity in New York is the army
building down on lower Broadway,
where Colonel John B. Fury of the
quartermaster's department has his
headquarters, and with a large force
of assistants is working night and day
to provide equipments for the 2SO,OOO
volunteers and regulars that need to
be clothed and sheltered. Contracts
for about $4. 100000 worth of supplies
have already been let and are being
filled with an energy that no country
but the United States could display.
These include 1,O0OOOO yards of blue
kersey. 1,OO0,OOO yards of blouse fan
mel, 1.0OO,OOO yards of shirting flannel,
100000 yards of lining flannel, l.
25o,OGO yards of cotton duck for
trousers and tents, 1,2jo,0oo yards of
cotton drilling for shelter tents, 200,-
900 forage caps, G2.3O0 buckskin
gauntlets, 25,OO0 white cork helmets,
100000 pairs of shoes, 100000 rubber
blankets, 10000 campaign hats, 50O,-
600 woolen blankets, 125,OO0 dark
brown canvas hats and S25,000 to $780,
900 worth of spool cotton, sewing silk
and thread.
Such things rs socks. underwear of
various weights and all the lncidcn-
tails of n soldiers clothing have also
been contracted for in like proportion.
Many of these contracts have already
been filed. Some of them are by
stipulation 70 be filed partly almost
ut once and in full at the earliest pos
sible dates. The most distant date of
fulfillment borne by any contract is
October 1st.
A famous general once said: ",rhe
feet of an army win its battles" Just
how far this is true only the experts
know. 1t is certain. however. that
the utmost care is taken to get the
most comfortable and durable shoes
for the United States soldiers that skill
can produce and that money can buy.
The Quartermaster generals specifi-
cations for the contractors who make
the army shoe cover four pages of
small type The last on which the
shoes are made is prescribed by the
quartermaster general, and inspectors
are placed in the factories to see that
the contractors conform strictly to the
specifications. The result is that the
United States soldiers wear the best
hand-sewed shoes. Experts declare
that no better shoe is made in the
world. The government pays from
S1.92H to S2.37la n pair for tens of
thousands of pairs at time. The
same system of definite specifications
and rigid inspection is followed in the
case of every supply contracted for by
the quartermnstcr generals depart
ment. on Saturday next bids will be
opened at Philadelphia for $3,oOO,O0O
more of similar supplies.

To heredity, to the transmission OF
traits from sire to son, we owe most OF the
possibilities of growth aud developme mt.
II each newly born being started out anew,
without the force of heredity the level
OF life might be expected to be that of the
digger Indian or Bushnan. Naturally bad
traits descend like the good. Peculiaritics
of feature, excentricities of speech and
manner, birth marks, etc, are handed
down just as surely as manual deNtcrity,
physical beauty, mathematical ability,
and the mental and moral qualities in
general. "A curious example of this de-
scent of family traits is furnished by Mrs.
Maggie Pickett, Canton, Ga. in whose
family gray hair was hereditary. She
writes:
"Gray hair is hereditary in our family.
