Miners Not Destitute.

Seattle. Wash, Sept. 2O.-From Cap
tain Downing of the steam schooner
Excelsior. from Copper river, 1t is learn
ed that the United States gunboat
Wheeling did not find many destitute
miners at Copper river and Cook Inlet
Commander Sebree of the Wheeling. It
is said, will report to the treasury de-
partment that the number of men ap-
plying for aid was not sufficient TO jus
tify the return of the gunboat TO Sit
ka. Accordinly the Wheeling proceed
ed to st. Mlchaels with Governor Pra-
dy as a passenger. It is not unlikely
that prospectors may need aid later IN
the year. The Wheeling and Excelsior
were at Orca at the same time.

INSPECTED THE HOSPITAL
M'KINLEY SURPRISES THE OFFICERS
AT FORT MEYER.
Made Careful Examination of All De-
partments and said He Was
Well Satisfied.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Presdent Nc
Kinley this afternoon made a personal
inspection of the hospital at Fort Meyer,
Va. Accompanied by Adjutant General
Corbin, the president left the white
house at 1850 p. m. and drove unan-
nounced to the fort. He proceeded di-
rctly to the hospital and, introducing
himself to Major Davis, the United
States army surgeon in charge of the
hospital, informed him that he had
come to make an inspection of the in
stitution and to pay his respects to the
patients and those in charge
Major Davis, the attendants and pa
tients alike We're surprised and gratifled
at the honor done them by the president,
and he was afforded every opportunity
to make a thorough examination of the
hospital. The president passed an hour
and half in the various wards and de-
partments of the institution, going from
cot to cot and extending a personal
greeting to each one of nearly 400 pa
tients.
Major Davis presented him to each
of the assistant surgeons and nurses
and consequently the president talked
informally to the convalescent patients.
The president carefully inspected the
kitchen and examined the food supplied
to the hospital patients. At the con-
clusion of his examination he expressed
himself as well satisfied with the ar
rangements made for caring for the
sick, but desired it to be understood
that the patients were to want for moth
ing that would improve their condition
or render them more comfortable. The
patients were particularly well pleased
at the visit of the president, and Major
Davis said, as the party left the hospi-
tai, that ii would do more to cheer up
the sick men than any quantity of medi-
cine

much of his attention and as the con-
gressional campaign is making the
pressure for places stronger, the presi-
dent is considering the matter and il is
expected that he will issue an order
in a short time, taking a large number
of places from the classified civil SER
vice and throwing them open to ap-
pointment by the various heads of de-
partments and their subordinates. The
places which would be removed from
the protection of the civil service law
are those of private secretaries and
chiefs of clerks and confidential clerks
of heads of departments and assistant
heads of departments and all persons
classed as firemen, watchmen and la
borers. The most important exemp-
tions will be in the internal revenue
service throughout the country, where
all deputy collectors of internal reve-
nue. and all storekeepers and gaugers
who receive less than SO per day are to
be taken from the classified service.
In the customs service the only
places now in the classified service that
will be exempted are two at New York
the counsel to the board of general
appraisers and the paymaster to the
collector of the port of New York In
the department of justice all attor-
deputy marshals are to be taken from
the service. In the postal service all
superintendents of branch postoffices
and carrier stations and all clerks in
charge of carrier stations, assistant
cashiers, private secretaries and stem
ographers to postmasters in the larger
cities, messengers, porters. charwom-
en-, janitors watchmen and laborers are
to be taken from the classified service.

THE SPANISH MEMBERS.
Personnel of the spanish Peace Commits
sion Communicated.


Washington. Sept. 20.-The personnel
of the Spanish peace commission has
been communicated officially by the
Madrid government to the French am
bassador and through Ambassador Cam
bon to the state department The list
is the same as that given in press dis
patches with some additional informal
tion as to the several members. Senor
Montero Rios, chairman of the COM
mission. is the presiding officer of the
Spanish senate. Senor AbarzuZa is a
member of the senate and was Spanish
ambassador at Paris during Spain's
brief regime as a republic. General
Correro has had long experience in col
onial affairs and is regarded as an eN-
pert in that line.
Senor Villa Urrutia is the present
Spanish minister at Brussels.
Senor Garrica is counsellor of the
court of cessation, or supreme court.
AS a whole, the commission Is regarded
as a strong body, combining represent
atives of the political elements, the ar
my and the diplomatic fraternity. The
names are not, however, widely known
outside of Spain, the apparent purpose
being to secure a commission strong
among all elements at home and thus
able to carry public approval of it's ac-
ton, rather than one made up of con-
spicuous public men. The Spanish COM
mission has two senators, whereas the
American has three, and II differs from
the American commission in having a
representative of the army in General
COrreTO.

Langley and Milo Root. all of Seattle.
The King county delegation. which in
cludes Seattle, has not agreed on a can
didate for the supreme bench and may
that the friends of Mayor Humes, who
not be able to do so, owing TO the fact
Is a candidate for state senator, are un-
willing to lay themselves open to the
charge that Seattle Is showing a dispo-
sition to take everything in sight. For
chairman OF the convention several
names are mentioned. including +. ID.
Fiske Of Kelso. Albert s. Cole of What
com and G. 5. Cosgrove Of Pomeroy.
II was stated this afternoon that .
combination had been made by Jones
and Cushman for congress and Bruce
and Fullerton for supreme Judge. Sew
eral Of the delegations will caucus to-
night and IL is possible that this COM
bination will be broken. II Is not
thought that there will be much of a
fight on organization. as the candidates
for United States senator have ex-
pressed desire to keep their hands on
the convention. United States Senator
J. l.. Wilson and Mayor Hume Of Taco
ma are here and making themselves
very agreeable to the delegates.
There has not been much discussion
of the platform yet. but there seems to
be a strong sentiment that IL should
declare unequivocally for the gold STAN
dard and the retention of the Philip
pines.

MET IN JOINT SESSION
The International commissioners
Are Hard at Work.
THE FISHERIES DISPUTE
IL Is Expected That the Americans and
Canadians Will Agree With
Little Trouble-The Farm
ers to Be Heard.

an hour this afternoon and adjourned
to meet again at 1O:3O a. m. Thurs
day.
The adjournment over tomorrow is
taken because OF the ceremonies at
tending the unveiling of the Champlain
monument, in which the members Of
the high commission are to participate.
The American commissioners met as
usual at o'clock this morning and
again at p. m. They listened to the
arguments Of Messrs. Babcock of New
York and Fallon of Ohio, who represent
the interests of the United states fish,
cries. As usual, all the proceedings
were behind closed doors, but so far as
the fresh water fisheries are concerned,
IL Is understood that the Americans
and Canadians will agree with little
trouble. Both sides desires the better
protection of the fresh water FISH. and
no doubt this part OF the proposed
treaty will readily be disposed OF.
Tomorrow the interests Of the United
States farmers will be heard. A num-
ber of the border states may be repre-
sented, but as yet the American COM
mis.ioners have heard only from the
National Grange. Aaron Jones of South
BEND worthy master Of the grange,
and Secretary John Trimble Of Wash
ington have notified the commissioners
that they desire TO he heard. II is pre-
sumed that they will protest In gen
eral way against the reduction or re-
moval Of the tariff on Canadian agrt-
cultural products, especially barley,
hay, oats and potatoes.
The lndics tions are that the Canadian
commissioners are going to take very
determined position on the lumber ques-
tion. Hon. a. s. Hardy. premier OF
ontario. and George w. Ross. minister
Of education. arrived here to-day and
represented the ontario government in
the lumber question.

WILL EMPLOY CUBANS.
To he Used on Public Works of the United
states in Cuba

Washington. Sept eo-General Lawton
has made a recomms ndation to the war
department for the utilization of such Gu
ban troops as may relnquifh all connec-
tion with the Cubans by employing them
upon various works of the United states
at Santiago. General Lawton has not rec
commended that they be used to police the
city or province OF Santiago, but directly
to the contrary. Last winter an attempt
was made TO pass bin allowing the re-
cruiting of Cuhans in the army OF the
United States either In the volunteer or
regular service. limiting the number TO
10 600 but the bill was changed so as to
allow only 50 to each regiment, and these
to be enlisted as scouts and guides. II is
probable that the bill for recruiting regi-
ments from Cubans will meet with more
favor in the future. as these men will be
available for garrison duty in the island.
II is also thought that a large number OF
Cuban- who have been serving in that
capacity with the Cuban army will be-
come better satisfied with the changed
conditions of affairs II they are allowed to
continue I'm military service.
At the time the bill for enlisting the Gu
bans was proposed Il was thought such
action would be resented hv the American
troops. as the pressure to 20 10 Cuba
among the volunteers was very great at
that time,

WASHINGTON REPUBLICANS.
No Definite Action Yet Taken Towards
Orxanixstion.

Tacoma. Sept. 2o.-The republican
state convention will convene here to-
morrow for the purpose of nominating
two supreme judges and two congress
men at large. Nearly all the delegates
are on the ground. but up 10 o'clock
tonight no definite action had been
taken toward organization. The day
was spent chiefly in discussing the re-
spective merits of the different candi-
dates. II Is pretty generally conceded
that the question OF geography will en-
ter largely into the formation OF the
ticket. 1t is the disposition to give the
eastern and western portions OF the
state a congressman and Judge each.
w. T. Jones of Yakima is the most
prominent candidate for congress from
the eastern section OF the state, and this
division is very favorable TO him. For
supreme Judge the eastern portion pre-
sents Mark Fullerton OF Whitman, T. J.
Anders OF walla walla and r. T. Stur-
tevant. From the west side the eandi-
dates for congress are F. W. Cushman
Of Tacoma, y. b. Coffman Of Chehalis
and W. w. McCredie OF Vancouver.

sentative of Howard Cole & Co,
Shreveport real estate firm, and on be-
half of his employers, traded Louisiana
property for the ranch property and

dence, one of the finest houses in the

baggage. She says she and her hus-
band visited omaha and Kansas City,
stopping al the best hotels. At Kansas
City Singletarry bought several city
lots, paying for them with draft on a
Shreveport bank. which subsequently
proved worthless. While at Kansas

veioped.

en- arrived I'm baltimore from Chicago ear
ly this morning. He said:
''It Is true that a very large interest in
the Baltimore & Ohio has been pur-
chased by Messrs. Field. Hill, Ream and
Armour, as well as other influential inter-
ests. Their purchase of the stock does not
mean any railroad combination. IL does
not mean n transcontineutal line in con-
nection with the Great Northern. What il
does mean is the fullest development of
the Baltimore & Ohio railroad. The road
Will not be tied to any road In the North
west but Will continue to deal with all
roads and take business wherever IL is
found The policy of betterment will be
carried out and the maximum traffic aim
ed after by providing the best facilities
for handling the business"
