GRIND JURY ON A STILL HUNT

The Grand Jury took a trip to Harrison
yesterday afternoon TO look over the town.
They desired to inspect the New jersey
Asphalt Company's plant. which has been
complained of as a nuisance, and also to
inspect some of the streets which have
been ~asphalted by the company. The jury
had other matters to attend to in Harrison,
but what they were could not be ascer-
tanned. Perhaps they wanted to ascer-
tain if any pool rooms were running
there. but it is safe to say that they did
not find any. Chief of Police Callahan
would not be likely to permit any pool
rooms, if there are any there, to be open
when the Grand Jury was in town.

TO INVEsrIGATE CAMP W1KoFF.
Gen. Wheeler Orders Gen. Ames to Com
 duct the Work.

Montauk Point, Aug. 3O.-Camp Wik- off is to be investigated. General Wheeler to-day ordered General Adel- bert Ames, chief of staff on General Rents staff, to conduct an investiga- tion. He is given almost autocratic power. General Wheeler has ordered things which have been complained of
 The subjects General Ames is to in- Vestigate are: Why is the general con- dition of the camp so poor Why do the conditions that prevail exist? Who is responsible; why troops were sent to the camp before it was ready to receive them; why, since there was but one railroad leading Into the camp, boats were not used to carry men and pro- visions from New York; why needed medicines were not ordered, or, if they were ordered, why they were not dis tributed; why the hospitals are crowd ed; why transports were allowed to lie in the harbor without supplies and re- lief being sent out to them.
 There is dissatisfaction in the camp of the Rough Riders. They are not satisfied with the terms of their muster out. They want to be treated as are the remainder of the volunteers. The present plan is to muster them out as soon as possible and without the usual furlough. They say they want to be treated like the others, and want to be given sixty days furlough at full pay and then be mustered out and sent home at the usual mileage and ration allowance.

ANG1o-AMERTCAN COMMISSION.
Its Work Increasing-Matter of nIonu-
 ment to an American Hero.

Quebec, Que, Aug. 30.-The work of the arbitration commission is evidently increasing. Each day more time Is de- voted to the sessions, and tonight the American commissioners have cancelled all social engagements and are holding a night session. What they are dis cussing, or what was discussed at their long joint session, is not known. To- morrow number of men from various parts of the United States are expected here, but the commissioners will not disclose what interests they will repre- sent.
 A matter which was not mentioned in the general protocol will probably soon be brought to the attention of the American commissioners. They will be asked to consider the question of a monument for General Montgomery, who was killed here while leading a detachment of American troops in 1775 A small tablet in the rock by the road side bearing the words Here fell Mont gomery'' is all that has ever marked the spot where he met his death. He was killed just in the outskirts of the lower town near the river bank and not far from the spot where General Wolfes army climbed up the steep bluff on the night before the battle on the Plains of Abraham in 1759. Several times during the past half century eff forts have been made by different Americans and American soldiers to have something done in the way of erecting a suitable memorial to the memory of the American. These eff forts have failed. The Canadians have always contended that it was not ex- actly the proper thing to erect on the sacred soil of Quebec" monument to the leader of an invading army. Only a few years since the Society of the Sons of the American Revolution asked permission to erect a monument here, but failed. Now a great-nephew of General Montgomery, Dr. Liston Mont gomery of Chicago, has undertaken the patriotic task and he will appeal to the American commissioners to improve this opportunity for properly honoring the memory of his illustrious ancestor. Dr. Montgomery's letter, it is under stood is now in the hands of the com- mission.

Assurances of Support Against Russian
 Aggression Related.
 Pekin, Aug. BOA high member of the Tsung-Li-Yamen (Chinese foreign office), who is British sympathizer, complained in the course of a recent in- terview, that Great Britain's assur- ances of support against Russian ag- gression, were belated. Why" said this functionary, withhold such a dec- laration until Russia had secured Port Arthur and France obtained consider able concessions in the south? This disintegration of the empire has begun, and to-day the necessity for strong action is less urgent than when Russia first obtained foothold"
 He admitted that China had broken her promises to England, but this, he argued, was because Russian pressure was too strong to be resisted He complained of British ignorance of Russia's line of action," and asked: "Why does not England approach Rus sia directly with a declaration that Russias interference in China will be regarded as a casus bell1? It is use less to punish helpless China and to participate in the disintegration of the empire. The Tsung-Li- Yamen prefers that British influence should be para mount. but 1t is unable to do anything unless England helps with the sword in hand"

tary Dictatorship.

London, Aug. 30.-General Weyler, according to a special dispatch from Madrid published here this afternoon has outlined his future policy. He pro- poses to be independent both of the government and of the opposition, "al- ways aiming to preserve the country and to reorganize the army" He ex- presses the belief that the Carlists nave plenty of money, some of which, he al- leges, comes from France, and he de- clares the united republicans have no personal animus against the queen, their only object being to adopt a firm, in- ternational stand, one result of which would be to check in some measure England's ambitions"
 General Weyler's statement was made to committee of the Weyler club, which called upon him this morning at Palma Majorca, where he is staying. This evening he expects to speak be- fore a club convention. It is repre- sented that the general is returning to politics in response to many appeals from Spain and from abroad, and it is added that he will attend the sessions of the cortes and expound his views as to the causes of the war disasters. The substance of General Weyler's declara- ton to the delegation of the Weyler club Is as follows: The general intends to advocate sweeping policy of rehab- ilitation of the government. He will re- fuse to aid in any temporary measures and will propose military dictatorship for the organization of the army and navy. Their honor, he remarked, has been lost as well as the Antilles, owing solely to military deficiencies.
 General Weyler expressed the belief that the present cabinet will be suc- ceeded by military dictatorship or by a Silvela ministry. He added that he did not desire change in the form of government, but he pointed out that the Carlists have an excellent organiza- tion He urged Spain to abandon her attitude of international neutrality in order to be prepared to oppose Great Britain when the latter, desiring to en- large her sphere of action at Gibraltar demands the Sierra Corbonera, Melilla, or other adjacent Spanish possessions. The general deemed it better to lose the Philippine islands. the importance of which he did not appreciate, than ter ritory around Gibraltar. In conclusion General Weyler deplored the loss or the Antilles, for the sake of the Spaniards who resided in the islands and on &C., count of the national commerce.

LIGHT ON THE MYSTERY.
WOman's Foot Found at Deep River Not
 That of Miss M Ielltsh,

Essex, Aug. 30.-The mystery sur- rounding the woman's foot that was found in the meadow running along the bank of the Connecticut river at Deep River is thought to have been solved. Just a year ago to-day the body of an unknown woman was found floating in the Connecticut river at Saybrook One of the feet was missing from the body and it is now believed the foot found at Deep River was the missing member. The body of the drowned woman was never identified. The size of the low shoe that was found on the foot was No. ?, corresponding in ap- pearance and size with the one found on the foot of the drowned woman. The foot is believed to have become detached from the rest of the body through the process of decomposition. It is now about certain that the foot does not belong to the body of the missing Miss Mellish.

F4REwELL DINNER TO SCHLEY.
Given at the Admirai's SOn-in-Law's Residence in SaugatUck.

Westport. Conn.,, Aug. 30.-Rear Ad- miral Winfield Scott Schley, who is about to sail for Porto Rico, as a men1- Der of the Porto Rican commission, was given a farewell dinner this even- ing at the residence of his son-in-law, R. M. S. Wortley in Saugatuck. The rear admiral arrived in Saugatuck late this afternoon accompanied by MT. Wortley, who had spent the day in New York with him. They were driv- en to the Wortley residence at Hen dricks Point, where number of rela- tives aud close friends of the admiral had assembled from their summer homes in the near vicinity. The dinner was an informal one and strictly pri- vate. Those present were Rear Admi- ral and Mrs. Schley, Dr. and Mrs. Hen ry c. Enc, MT. and Mrs. William P. Enc, MT. and Mrs. Fergus Field, MT. and Mrs. Joseph J. ,Asche, MT. and Mrs. John E. Morris, MT. and Mrs. Samuel M. Burnham, Langdon Ketchum, and Frank Ketchum. The visitors were all New York friends of the admiral and all have summer residences in Sauga- tuck with the exception of MT. and Mrs. Field.
 Admiral Schley looked the picture of health and was in the best of spirits. He talked freely and told of his plans for the future. Tomorrow, he said, he would leave for New York on the 7:1O a. m. train. At noon he will sail for Porto Rico on the steamer Seneca, &C., companied by General Gordon, who is also a member of the Porto Rican com mission. Just how long it would be necessary for him to remain in Porto Rico he could not say but he thought that in all probability his duties would keep him there about two months. He will then return to Westport for a brief time and later go to New York, where he will remain during the win
