SAN FRANCISCO, Sept 1s-The
hospital ship Relief did not sail yes
terday for Manila, and there is pos
sibility that she may never be allowed
to leave this port on an ocean voyage
until her high decks are cut down and
her coal bunkers enlarged. At any
rate, she will not sail in the service
Of the Government until her seawor-
thiness has been passed upon by a
board Of survey which General Shafter
has been ordered to appoint.
There seems to have been some con-
flict between the medical department
and the quartermasters department at
Washington in the matter of the send

BERLIN. Sept. l6.-The army ma.
neuvers this year are regarded as a
mediocre success, owing to various
causes, chiefly unfavorable weather
During the four days of sham warfare
In South Germany IL rained in tor
rents. For one entire day the opera
tons had to be suspended and the EN-
Peror modified the plan of campaign
accordingly. The roads part of the
time were simply impossible, and the
condition OF the troops was indescrib-
able, though most Of them found shell
ter and the cOmmissariat acquitted it.
self excellently. The maneuvers end
ed earlier than arranged. because OF
the intended visit of the Car to Pots
dam on Thursday. which was subse-
quently abandoned. Thus Emperor
William had his preparations for this
important visit for nothing.
Aside from these untoward circum-
stances other features aroused serious
criticism Of the military value OF these
big maneuvers in which three army
corps, numbering 10000 men, partici-
pated. The troops marched well, in
fantry covering, In spite Of the roads
being often knee-deep in mud from
twenty to forty kilometers daily. But
some Of the commanders made some
egregiOus blunders. General Won Fall
ken Hansen, commanding the Thir-
teenth Corps, got separated from the
Fourteenth and the plan OF campaign
had to be licked into shape for the fol-
lowing morning.
The Emperor's dashing charge at the
head of two cavalry divisions on
Wednesday was fine sight. But all
the experts present agreed that such a
charge in actual war and under the
same conditions would have led to the
complete humiliation of the whole
cavalry. There was, however, the re-
markable fact that the physical condi-
ton and morale OF the troops on both
sides remained in good shape, in spite
of the weather. Only a few cases of
serious illness were reported.
Experts assert that the new field ar
tillery and automobiles were both
found to be easily transportable. Au-
tOmobiles henceforth will be regularly
used In army transportation. Some
automobiles made during the night and
over unknown roads from fifty to sew
enty miles without breaking down.
Perhaps the most interesting feature
OF the maneuvers was that the Fiji
teenth Corps. mainly recruited In Al
SAGE, fraternized freely with the Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth Corps. who
were from other parts Of the empire.
The reorganization Of the artillery |
begins to go into effect October !. BY
the reorganization the number of
field artillery regiments is Increased
from forty-eight to ninety-four, the
effectiveness Of the regiments being
reduced while the batteries are in
creased from 494 to 594. The expense
is over $4,000, 900 marks, with 1900 900
marks annually in addition. The re-

Judge Fish Gives Decision in the Case O.
the John C. Holmes Estate.
Judge Fish Monday afternoon gave
a decision for the plaintiffs in the John
C. Holmes estate case. By the de,
cision Mrs. Greer, the widow, is de-
prived of her homestead and is dispos-
sessed of all the property, except her
dover right of fourteen acres.
John G. Holmes died several years
ago without leaving a will. The ap-
portionment of the estate was made by
a commission, appointed during the
iudgeship of Volney French. Later on
Mrs. Holmes married again, and this
suit was brought by the grandchildren
of John G. Holmes, asking for restitu-
tion OF the property and the ejectment
of Mrs. Greer. The case has been
adjourned from time to time.
As a result of the decision of the
Judge. Mrs. Greer will be forced to
vacate the homestead.

ALDERMEN REFUSE TO SUSTAIN
THE MAYORS VETO,
SALOON ORDINANCE A Law
only Two Aldermen Fail to Vote to Pass
1t over the Woodwork of Building of
Pest House is Put off-other
Council Business.

The saloon ordinance is law, for
the City Council at their meeting Mon
day night refused to sustain the veto
of Mayor Petit and the final vote on
the question found only two of the
Aldermen in favor of the sustaining 0
the Mayors veto.
The matter was brought up under
the head of communications, and after
the Clerk had read the veto Of the
Mayor no one volunteered to say any
thing in regard to the question and the
Mayor called for the vote on the ques
ton. All the Republicans voted
against sustaining the veto, while Aid.
Berns and FRANKIE voted in favor of the
Mayor and the saloon men. By this
action of the Council the saloon ordi-
nance becomes a law and it will Oe in
effect as soon as the ordinance is pub
lished. The action of the Council will
undoubtedly bring the city into several
suits with the different saloon and
brewery men, as the enforcement of the
law will make several valuable pieces
of saloon property in the city useless
for the purpose for which they were
erected. The question will not bo tried
until next July, when the saloon men
make application for the renewal o
their licenses.
Nothing else of Importance was done
at the meeting of the city fathers. The
candidates for re- election were anxious
to get away in order to put the finish
ing touches on theacampaign, and the
old members were anxious to attend
the theatre and work was rushed
through in short order.
DR.. Cleary reported that the epecia
committee having in charge the pur-
conclusion on the subject and the COM
mittee was given further time in which
to make arrangements with local
contractors.
The annual reports of the various
city officers were received and referred
to committees for examination and
they will be reported on at an adjourned
meeting on next Thursday evening
The report of the City Treasurer
showed that $1O1,4l586 had been re-
ceived during the year, and the re-
ceipts showed that $86,041.17 had been
paid out. The delinquent personal ta&
amounted to 1898. 30, leaving a balance
on hand of $14, 976 80.
A communication was received from
the Brick Layers Union, informing the
Council that the scale of wages for
sewer work had been fixed at IS cents
an hour and that nine hours would
constitute a days work.
No other business of Importance was
| transacted.

He is not the man who caused the pc
lice trouble and gave them many a
lively chase, and his present condition
would admit of no vindictiVeness. The
" bridal chamber" was thrown open to
him and in it he was made comfort
abla.
Rhodes first offense was burglary,
he and another Oshkosh lad making a
haul at a local grocery store few
years ago. For this he served one
year in states prison. Later he was
arrested for stealing a watch and es-
capped from the county jail with Stokes,
the noted burglar who robbed Percy's
store. About six months ago he was
arrested for Tobbing a Chicago &
Northwestern freight car at West
Bend, but was not convicted. Since
his arrest up to his last capture he has
been in Jail at Kenosha. awaiting trial
on the charge preferred by the railway
company. The KenOsha jail, he says,
is man killer, and the confinement
broke him down completely physically.
He was sent here from Kenosha on ac-
count of failing health and will be
taken to the poor house there to end
a wasted life.
No record of such a prisoner is found
in the jail in this city and it is thought
that he served here under an assumed
name.
