INSPECTION OF w1NrER CAMPS.
To Guard Against n Repetition of Re-
 cent Evils

Washington, Dec. 9.-Surgeon Gen. eral Sternberg has issued quite de- tailed letter of instruction to Colonel Charles R. Greenleaf, who has started for Savannah on a general tour of the large winter camps in the south. The inspection is intended to guard against a repetition of any of the evils arising from defective food, quarters or medical attendance such as gave rise to crtu- cism of the department during and af- ter the Spanish war. Colonel Green leaf is directed to report to the surgeon general on the wants of the troops In the field and military posts and any in-- efficiency of the medical officers. He is especially directed to report on the quantity and quality of medicines and hospital supplies at the various points visited and whether these are promptly distributed on acquisition as they are required.
 Attention also will be directed to the diseases most prevalent among the troops the causes of such prevalence and the best methods for eradicating them. Colonel Greenleaf Is directed not only to communicate with the depart ment on this subject but to make his recommendation verbally and in writ ing to the officers commanding the mil tary posts and districts involved. In- quiry also will be directed to the class of medicines most in use In the field and those desired by the medical off, cers with view to making any neces- sary changes In the departments sup ,o11y to ie pected to give especial attention also to diet kitchens and to seeing that they furnish the sick soldiers with suitable light diet during sickness and convales- cence and whether the fund provided for this purpose is properly and eco- nomically administered. Attention also will be paid to the supply of ambu- lances, stretchers, etc, for use by the hospital corps and to whether the mem bers of this corps are suitable men, and properly disciplined and instructed for the discharge of their duties.

SESSION OF THE CABINET.
Administration of Government Affairs
 in New Acquisitions Discussed.

Washington, Dec. 9.-The discussion of the details of the administration of government affairs in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines under the treaty of peace which is about to be signed in Paris, occupied large part of the time at to-day's cabinet meeting. The es- tablishment of a new postal system in Cuba was regarded as a pressing ne- cessity. The present purpose is to fash ion the new system, so far as practice able, upon our own model. Cablegrarn5 were read from Admiral Dewey and General Otis at Manila, giving their views as to the number of troops that it would be necessary to keep in the Philippines during the administration of the military government. Further than this the contents of these mes sages were not made public, but the in- formation received, 1t is stated, was en- tirely satisfactory to the president. Nothing had been heard from Paris up to the close of the cabinet meeting.
 An official denial Is authorized that the sale of thePhilippines Island to any
 
 by this government and it is stated, that the published statement to the ef- feet that their sale to Japan had been under discussion, was altogether falsa. The cabinet also talked over an elab- crate tariff measure which is now in preparation here, to go into force, as now planned, contemporaneously with the entire relinquishment of the island by the Spanish on January 1. This tar- if measure, it is said, will show an av- craze reduction all along the line of about 50 percent.from the Spanish tarife rates. The understanding now is that there will be no export duties and that in other ways the burden of taxation will be reduced.
 Postmaster General Smith remaine1 l in consultation with the president al most the entire afternoon talking over the scheme of postal administration in Cuba. There are two projects consider ed, one to establish a United States sys- tenn similar to that now operating in Porto Rico under direct administration and full control of the United States, and the other to give the Cubans an in- dependent postal system to be estab- lished and equipped by the United States government but to be operated and administered and all expenses paid by the Cubans, this government merely furnishing equipment at cost prices and assuming only a supervis ny connection with it. A decision on this point will be reached shortly. Postmaster General Smith will send several represcnta tives of the postotiice department to secure information as to condition and needs.

THE ROWING SIrUATION. F Belief Tint Cornell Has Ultimatum
 to Yale and Harvard.

Ithaca, N. Y, Dec. 9.-Although Cor nells athletic council has as yet made no official announcement relative to the new inter- colleague rowing negotiations the are strong evidences that the Itha- cans have already taken a stand and adopted a policy for the coming year. It is very probable that Cornell will not row two races under the same con- ditions as a year ago. This decision was greatly influenced by the opposi- tion of Coach Courtney and members of the crew who were not at all satisfied with the result of arrangements of last year.
 There are also reasons for believing that Cornell's ultimatum Is now in the hands of Yale and Harvard and noth- ing further can be done at Ithaca until answers are received from those univer- sities. The final outcome will depend on the positions taken by Yale and Har- yard. It is not expected that those competitors will insist on the New London course for a triangular race next June, should such 8 contest be ar ranged with Cornell. It is thought therefore, that if two races must be rowed by Cornell, one with Harvard and Yale and the second with Penn sylvania, Columbia and Wisconsin, the two can be arranged to be rowed on the same course. It is CornelPs desire to merge two into one regatta, as has always been her policy.
 However if is likely that Mr Court- ney and the members of the crew will consent to two races under the above conditions, if it is found absolutely nec- essary to meet their competitors under the disadvantage of entering the crew in two different contests. The choice of course is also a matter for future consideration. It would seem that the old Poughkeepsie course would be the most convenient for all the crews as far as location is concerned, and Cor nell will probably declare in favor of this course.

LITTER CLEVEL4ND RAILWAYS.
English Syndicate Reported to be Ne- | gctsating for Their Purchase.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 9.-It is reported that an English syndicate is negotiat- ing for the purchase of both the Big and Little consolidated street railways, the two companies which control and operate all the street railway lines in the city, both cable and electris, as we'll as all the suburban lines in and about Cleveland. The fact that lends color to the report is that Henry Everett, for merly president of the Big Consolidated is in New York, accompanied by c. w. Wasson and E. w. Moore, both of whom are interested in street railway property. MT. Everett is a heavy stock holder in the Big Consolidated lines and recently has bought up large blocks of Little Consolidated stock with the os- tensible purpose of consolidating the two companies and making himself president of the combined organization. The street railways of Cleveland, to- gether with the suburban lines, are cap- italized at $24,300,000. It is estimated that the entire street railway system can be purchased for about $13, 100000

TALKED OYER EsTIMATEs.
What City Of'iciais Say of Allowances to
 Departments.

The special joint committe of the court of comittee council appointed to consider the recommended appropria- tinns for various departments of the city department for the ensuing year. held a public hearing on the matter in question in room IA, City hall, last night. Representatives of all the de- partments except the board of educa tion were present.
 Superintendent Hotchkiss of the de- partment of Charities and Correction whose estimate was cut only SLIGO said that he was satisfied with what the board of finance allowed. Dr. Townsend, president of the board of health, of which department the estimate was cut s5O00 was also satisfied. Inspecto" Hopkins of the lamp department said that his department was satisfied with it's appropriation as recommended by the board of finance, notwithstanding the estimate had ben cut $10,70o
 Rev. Dr. Lines, president of the libra " board, said there was some disap- pointment in his department because not as much had been allowed this year as was appropriated last year. Hereto- fore the library board has had the use of the book fines which last year amounted to $700 but, this year the amount of these fines is included in the estimated income and is to go t) the city treasury. Notwithstanding this fact only the same amount was allowed as oIIn 1p pet r11nlxi0c tha amount at the disposal of the library board fer next year $700 less than what it had last year. President Ames of the board of fire commissioners said there wera several things needed in the de- partment for which no estimate had been included in the amount allowed by

THE HARRINGTON PUBLISHING co

the beard of finance One thing needed and for which, he said. the need was urgent, was the equipment of No. 10 engine, with men and horses. At pres ent No. As engine on St. John street, which is located in large manufactur- ing district, is obliged to respond to alarms which are in the territory of No. 10 which cannot be used because it is not equipped. He thought that some arrangement should be made So that it would not be necessary to leave the manufacturing district unprotected from fire. He said that the cost of equipping No. 10 would be about $S50o, including men. horses, and harness He also said that the department needed a new repair and supply house, the pres ent one on Water street being in very delapidated condition. The cost of new shop would be $2,50O. He thought that l if these two items were provided for the department could get along. In re- sponse to aus uSstion by member of the committee, he stated that there was a deficiency of $1,400 in the department for this year. Superintendent Wr,nn said that he thought the police board was satisfied with its appropr, ation. The police estimates were only cut trlfe more than $2CO9, while the fire es | inmates were cut $35, ,O00.
 Henry c. Norris appeared and rec commended that $500 be transferred from the contingent fund to item of band concerts, nothing appearing in the | estimates for this item. The committee l voted so to recommend to the common council, and MT Norris also recom- mended that the item "crushea stone pavements $75OO" be changed to read repair of streets $7,50O."
 1 Charles E. Curtis of the board of 1 finance was present and explained sey- eral items He said that the board had included no amount on the estimates for sprinkling streets having decided ! that 1t would be better to leave the matter of street sprinklink to citizens to sprinkle the street in front of their property if they so desire. In connection with this matter Alderman Shepard. a member of the committee, remarked that men could be hired to sprinkle the streets
 with water pots for less money than it cost the city by contract. Anthony Carroll was present and asked that sev- eral items be stricken from the esti- mates. One was for $12o0 for examiner of records in the department of public works. He said that some of the engi- neers employed in the department could
 do this work, and he said there are enough of them to do this work.'' Other
 items which he asked be stricken out were for bicycle path for stone crush
 CT and road roller, $500 for room for de- tectives at police headquarters, salary of the health officer, and the item of $S, GOO
 in the department of Charities and Correction for outside poor MT. Carroll said that now no poor are taken care of
 unless they go to Springside and that
 there is therefore no outside poor &C.,
 count. The committee will hold another
 hearing.

RYAN AND FITZST1yMONS,
Latter Willing to Fight but Wants Side
 Bet of&IO,OOO,

Syracuse, N. Y, Dec. 9.-Tomny Ryan has heard from Bob Fitzsimmons regarding the proposed twenty-round contest between them at 154 pounds A representative of Ryan saw Fitzsim- mons in New York to- day. Bob sent the following: T will fight Ryan be- fore the club offering the largest purse but I bar Tom O'Rourke's Lenox club. I will also want Ryan to make a side bet of S10,000." Tonight Ryan said he had taken F'itzsimmons up on the strength of the first proposition he made namely, to fight at 154 pounds at the ringside. T think Fitzslmmons is unfair to ask me to make a side bet of s1O,OO0,'' said Ryan. q think the side bet proposition is made for the purpose of crawling out of the match If the side part of the programme is waived the match can be made inside of twenty-four hours"

WRETCHED AFFAIR IN THE NOR-
 FOLK, TA., CITY JIIL.

John Anderson, the Murderer of nlatc
 Saunders of the Schooner Oliver
 the First Drop Body Taken Back to
 the Scaffold and Exchanged After Ninc
 Minutes.
 Norfolk, Va, Dec. 9.--John Anderson, the condemned murderer of Mate Saun- ders of the schooner Oliver Pecker, was executed in the city jail at 3 p. m. to-day. He marched from his cell to the scaffold unsupported and with firm step ascended the steps without assist ance. After prayer by Rev. J. B. Mer- ritt, chaplain, of the Seamen's Bethel, who kissed him good bye, he made a short speech saying he had forgiven the men who swore his life away and would die at peace with the world and God. He spoke pleasantly to the death watch and to the crowd and in firm voice said: T am ready"
 At 9:06 the trap was sprung and the body shot downward. The rope part ed just inside the knot and his body fell to the cobblestones. A thrill of horror ran through the crowd. Officers and witnesses rushed to the body and snatched the cap from the head and found blood oozing from the mouth. nose and eyes. A doctor was called and soon Andersen opened his eyes, and it was said began to breathe. He was carried, feet foremost, up the stairs to the platform and laid down until a chair was obtained. He was then plac- ed in this but he never spoke.
 Preparations for re-hanging him were hurriedly made. The other end of the rope was adjusted around his neck. He was raised to a sitting posture and the straps again placed on his limbs. While being supported by the officers the trap was again sprung. In twenty-th minutes life was pronounced extinct. Nine minutes elapsed between the frat and second drops. Anderson's neck was broken, supposedly by the last drop. 1 Marshal Treat refused to turn the body over to the Virginia Anatomical 1 society and it was placed in hand some casket and buried in the Seamen's l lot in Elmwood cemetery When the rope broke there was cry from some one in the crowd: Telegraph to the president"
