There will be, a great deal Tor those

enforced furlough. At present they are
getting more humane treatment than
they probably had ataany time- during
their service under Spain. Nobody has
abused them; -fiob6dy has even jeered
at them. They kave been treated as

than captured foes. If few of these
Spanish prisoners could be liberated
after a time and sent as mission es
to their brethren we might have the
whole army and navy. and possibly
good part of the populations-of Spain
coming over here In body and asking
to be taken prisoners. That would end
the war effectually. quietly and with
mercy. But it would not do for General
Weyler to presume upon the kind treat

Cleaning Plate Glass.
lFrom the Chicago News. }


The labor Of keeping these large areas of
glass clean is great. and this has been made the
subject Of scientific study by Prof. scoville. of
Massachusetts, He has found that in the best
glass there are certain elements that are soluble
in pure water, and that drenching the glass in
washing the Windows not only removes the dirt,
which Is desirable, but also dissolves some Of the
alkali which Is put into the glass at the time Of
its manufacture. When this alkali IS liberated
it does not easily wash away, but ''shows a
singular tendency to stay there and to coax a
little Of the silica in the glass to come out and
keep it company. 1t is this freed silica that
produces the streaks often found on plate glass.
The disintegration Of the glass is hastened by
the use Of hot or warm water Prof. Scoville
recommends the use Of two. separate baths in
cleansing these fine windows. The first, which
is used to remove the dirt, ehoud contain little
ammonia. which is preferable to potash or sods
soap: and the second, to take o6 the alkali and
the streaks made by the silica, should be made
by q very weak solution OF acetic Of hydrochioric
acid. In both gases the water should be cold.

New military and nayal devices have been re-
ceived neither better nor worse than peaceful
novelties. The frst needle gun was made in
1927. but it was mot adopted by any nation un-
til 1886, when the Prusaian government took it
up. In 1854 it surprised the world by the deadly
work it did against the Danish army. Yet in 1866
the Austrian army was still unamed with it.
and its crushing defeat by the Prussians was
largely due to that fact. In 1861. when our
civil war broke out, Mr.. William c. Dodge labor
ed hard to have the Washington Government

MEETING OF PRE1ArEs.
The Triennial Convention Will Be
Held in This City.

| AhAb
| Episcopalians in every part of the coun.
| try are looking forward with interest tc
| the General Triennial Convention of the
Protestant Episcopal Church in America
which Will convene in Epiphany Church
in this city on the 5th day of next Octo-
ber.
| 1t will be one of the largest ecclesias-
teal events ever held in this city. All
questions affecting the welfare of the
| Episcopal Church will be discussed by the
| bishops and delegates.
The last triennial convention was held in
Minneapolis.
| The presiding officer will be Bishop
| Williams, of Massachusetts,. who is in
| point of service the oldest bishop in
| the American branch of the church. The
| convention will continue four weeks, or
| longer. II the business under considera-
ton makes an extension of time neces-
| sary.
The convention will be in two branches.
one the house of bishops and the other
the house of delegates. The house of
delegates, which will be made up of cler-
ical and lay delegates from the different
dioceses of the country.
Dr. Charles L. Hutchins. of Massa-
chusetts, will act as secretary of the
house of delegates, and Rev. Samuel
Hart. DID,. act as secretary of the house
of bishops.
There will be meetings of the various
organizations and societies connected
with the church. The most important
of these will be the meeting of the Wo-
mans Auxiliary in Trinity Episcopal
Church on the second day Of the conven-
ton. This meeting will be inaugurated
by the celebration of holy communion
and an address by Bishop Satterlee Of
the Diocese of Washington.
The principal question that will be
considered at the convention will be that
Of marriage and divorce. A lively debate
is expected.
The law of the Protestant Episcopal
Church forbids that the clergy of the
church shall marry any divorced person,
unless that person be the innocent party
in divorce granted for immortality.
An effort will be made to introduce a
church law requiring the clergy to say
daily offices. according to the ruling of the
Church of England.
A feature of the convention will be the
attendance of a number of new bishops.
They were elected after the adjournment
of the last triennial convention. and are
as follows:
Henry Y. Satterlee, Washington; P. T.
Rowe, Alaska; L. w. Burton, Lexington,
KY; ]. H. Johnson, Los Angeles, Cal !;
g. W. Williams, Marquette, Mich: j. D.
Morrison. Duluth, Mimi; C. E. B. Brew
ster. Connecticut: r. A. Gibson, coadjutor
of Virginia: Montgomery Brown. coadju-
tor Of Arkansas.
Rev. Richard P. Williams, rector of
Trinity Episcopal, of this city. has charge
of the general arrangements. and Col.
Cecil Clay is chairman of the committee
on hospitality.
During each Sunday of the convention
divine services will be held in the various
churches Of the city by the visiting bish-
ops.

MAY FIGHT A DUEL.
The Captain and Payms ster of the
Monadnock Have . Quarrel.

The Captain and PAyns ster of the
Monadnock Have . Quarrel.
A letter from Honolulu. under date OF
July 6. according to a telegram from San
Francisco yesterday. announces trouble
between Paymaster W. B. Wilcox, of the
mnoitor Monadnock. recently arrived at
the Hawaiian!capital, and Captain Whit
ing. of the same vessel. There is a very
real danger Of bloodshed before these ma
val officers engage in a conflict with an
enemy on the high seas. The Intervention
of friends seems to be unavailing, as the
injury of which Captain Whiting COM
plains is one, he maintains that can only
be wiped out with blood. Paymaster Will
cox on the other hand, will not listen to
any proposition to explain or apologize,
and does not even profess to have been
enormously reported.
The quarrel arose from some sighting
remarks said to have been made by Pay
master Wilcox as to the character of
Captain Writings wife. Among the most
prominent and influential citizens of Hon.
olulu is the multi-millionaire Along. who.
many years ago, married a half white and
half native young woman of extraOrdin-
ary beauty and style. The couple had
sixteen daughters and several sons, and
for a number of years the Along girls
have been the bellies Of the capital They
are all beautiful and have charming
manners. and 1t was no surprise when
Captain Whiting was captivated by one
of the most beautiful of the sisters. all
of whom are favorites in the best society
of the place. Captain Whiting is entire
ly devoted to his wife. of whom everybody
speaks in high terms. At dinner re-
Gently given in honor of the officers of the
monitor Monadnock Paymaster Wilcox Is
said to have cast reflections on the entire
Along family, including Mrs. Whiting.
His remarks were carried to Captain
Whiting, who has demanded an explana-
tion, with the intimation that if it is not
satisfactory he will take means to settle
the matter. At the time the news left
Honolulu there had been no explanation
and a duel was confidently expected.

The defense-of German Intervention at
Subig Bay. by an official journal in Ber-
lin. Is inadequate. The commander of the
Irene assumed that Admiral Dewey was
either incompetent or indisposed to ex-
ercise any restraint on the insurgents IL
they should take possession OF Isla
Grande. and that therefore 1t was neces-
sary for him to interpose in the war be-
tween Spain and her insurgent colonists.
II Germany were sincere in her pro-
fessions of friendliness. she would trus,
to Admiral Dewey to protect the inter
ests Of all nations. Besides,-,Snothing
could be gained by the Irene's display Of
force to prevent the capture Of the ISL
and by the insurgents. since Dewey was
sure to transfer the place to them.

A number of leading German-Americans
of New York have been asked what would
be the attitude of German Raturalized
citizens in the event of a war between the
two countries. Without exception they
assert that every able-bodied man-among
them would take up arms for their adopt
ed country. They deny, however, that
the people of Germany are in sympathy
with Spain in this war.
