Camp Alger, Va. June "a, 1885
Maj Channon's command leaves fol
Newport News tonight. Others will
follow RosEY.
The above came to THE ARGUS this
afternoon from its correspondent at
Camp Alger, and subsequently came
information to the effect that the
command would march the distance
to Newport News, and but short
time would elapsc before the BOYS
We're on transports bound for Santi-
ago.
The telegram which appeared in
last nights ARGUS from one of the
Company A boys at Camp Alger,
brought the intelligence OF Il prospec-
tive movement of the brigade which
embraces the Rock Island and Moline
companies toward Santiago to rein
force Gen. Shafter. 1t is learned on
later adyices from Camp Alger that
during the day orders were issued to
the entire division comprising the
newly created command of Brig. Gen.
Guy V. Henry for the speedy depart
ure to reinforce Gen. Shafter at San
tiagO. The orders also cover the en-
tire brigade of Brig. Gen. Garretson,
which includes the 9th Illinois, 9th
Massachusetts and 18th and 9th Ohio
regiments. The plan is to move all
of Gen. Hcnrv's division on the Har-
ward and the Yale, these ships to
make two round trips. The first trip
will carry most, if not all, of Gen.
Dullield's brigade.
The war department allows three
days for the trip, two days to unload
the trips aud three days TO return to
Newport News. making eight DAYS.
BY that time Gen. Garretson's bri-
gade will be at Newport News ready
to 20 on board the ships. and then
will come the second trip. taking
three days. with two DAYS allowed for
Garrctson troops to unload in Cuba.
Some excitement was caused by q
circular sent out from corps head
quarters asking each commander
of a regiment to report nj once how
many men he had ready for immedi-
ate service and what he needed to
complete his outfits. Each regiment,
supposing itself to be the only one to
whom the order was addressed. at
once imagined that it was to be sent
away in short order. When it was
learned that the order was general. a
good deal Of disappointment was
manifested. The 9th Illinois was
also agitated by an order received by
Gen Garretson instructing him to
hold his brigade in readiness for or
ders to move Immediately. The boys
got this twisted into an order to start
for Hampton Roads today, and
all hands got out into the company
streets and cheered themselves hoarse.

NO WORLDS RECORDS
Wheelmen Have Not Recorded the
Time Made

BALTIMORE. Jan. 10.-Chairman
Mott of the L. A. w. Racing Board has
received a letter from Henry Sturmeier
of Coventry, England, Secretary Of the
International Cyclists Union, stating
that there are no official worlds racing
records. Mr.. Mott began an investiga-
ton of the matter at the time Edward
McDuffie of Boston tried for records at
Philadelphia. McDuffie's remuneration
depended somewhat on whether he sue
ceeded in breaking or equalling world s
records. He did some remarkable riding,
tieing Stocks of England, at L 35 2-5 for
the mile. Several other records were
clipped. Then McDuffie claimed pay for
worlds records.
Mr. Mott allowed the records and re-
corded them as official for this country
or within the jurisdiction of the L. A. w.
When asked whether he would certify
officially that they were worlds records
he said he could not do so. He believed
them to be worlds records, but had no
documents to sustain his belief. Mr.. Mott
says he saw that it was a hardship, both
for the promoters who went to the ex-
pense of providing PAGERS, and for the
man who made the records to have the
matter left uncertain, and he wrote to
Secretary Sturmeir to inquire whether
there was not some way of settling the
matter.
Mr.. Sturmeier suggested that each or
ganizatiOn send him it's official records
on January 1st of each year. He will
then compile them and send copies to
racing board chairmen or similar off,

INDIAN FINANCES
Measures Taken to Avoid Shipments
of Gold

LONDON, Jan. 10.-Today the gov
ernment invited tenders for india bills
to the amount Of a1,000000 for the dis
charge of bills payable on the 22d. The
stringency in money In India is so great
that 1t is believed gold shipments will
be necessary. Special allotments of tele-
graphic transfers on Bombay were made
today at 16Md per rupee. So great is the
urgency for money In India that the
India council is considering plans to
increase the supply of currency. In or
der to facilitate the operation of issuing
silver coin against gold deposits at the
rate of 16d per rupee, and to save time
and expense involved In the remittance
of gold to India, 1t is said the council
will receive on behalf of the India bank
ers or. merchants in London gold for de-
posit in the Bank OF England against
which orders or transfers will enable sill
yer coin to be drawn from the Indian
currency departments.
A small charge beyond the rate of 1sd
will be made to cover the cost of the
transaction. 1t Is hoped that this
scheme. even IL not greatly availed Of,
will relieve the tightness and avoid gold
shipments to India.

The court was then closed.
This decision to conceal the evidence
of the most important witness of the

A FRENCH CLAIM
DR.. Herr Fixes His Damage at Five
Million

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10-Counsel for
Dr. Cornelius Herr today presented to
the state department a claim for in
demnity in the sum of $4,000 900 against
the French government for an alleged IL
legal attempt TO prosecute DR.. Herr. The
case is remarka BILE in many ways, and 1t
is said at the department is without pre-
cedent.
The facts in brief are that DR.. Hertz,
who stands very high in scientific cir
cles as an electrician and physician, al
though born in France of French par
ents, is an American citizen. His claims
for damages relate to his arrest at
Bournemouth, England in 1898, when
the French tried to extradite hirp under
charges of fraud and embezzlement
growing out of the Panama canal scan-
dal. Owing to Herr illness, the case
dragged until May. 1886, when a British
magistrate declared that the charges
were utterly invalid and scarcely de-
serving of notice. Meanwhile the French
government had instituted numerous
proceedings against him in France and
confiscated all of the property Of him
self and his wife. Dr. Herr alleges that
this was persecution pure and simple,
and that the French government knew
that the charges against him were base
less before his trial. Therefore he de-
mands that the state department shall
prefer claim against the French gov
eminent in full reparation.

In reply to question as to whether
DR.. Halls advocacy Of the cause Of Her

in retiring, Mr.. Bonner said:
NO. think it is clear that he was

to retire year ago before that case be-
came an issue, and, anyway, he ceased
to interest himself in that case after
the Presbytery took definite action, pre-
ferring to abide by it's decision"
John J. Roth, who was insane, fired
three shots at DR.. Hall on November 10,
1884, without effect. Roth was sent to an
insane asylum.
Warszawiak, who was a member of
Halls church. was dismissed by the
