cation who left much the deepest mark

the American lawyer, Mr.. Hollis, Sec
rotary of the delegation. Apart from
the article. introducing the special me-
diation, which bears his name, he was
chiefly instrumental in introducing the
principle of revision into the arbitra.-
ton convention. nfthis he was ably
seconded by Seth Low, whose exeep-
tional abilities had unfortunately little
opportunity for exercise. But, never
theless, he impressed his colleagues
very favorably. Captains Mahan and
Crozier made hosts of friends, and

Mckinley Will Entertain Dewey.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-President
Mckinley will give reception to Ad-
miral Dewey at the White House when
the latter arrives in Washington. At
first he was in doubt whether a recep-
ton or dinner would be more appro-
pirate, but the former is likely to be
decided on, for the reason that it would
be more popular in character and would
grant to a multitude of people an OPP

STERNBERG HAS SOME DOUBTS
OF THE REPORT.
WASHINGTON, July 30.-Surgeon
General Sternberg of the army de-
cIared to an Associated Press reporter
at a late hour tonight that he has no
official knowledge of the reported out
break of yellow fever at Hampton. He
expressed himself as highly incredulous
of the truth of the story, saying he had
ND intimation even of the question of
the fever at Hampton. Still, he SAID.
he might not get the earliest news in
such cases. as reports probably woult,
be first sent to the members of the Sol
diers' Home.
1t appears that DR.. Wyman's infor-
nation of the reported existence of
yellow fever came in a telegram from
the surgeon in charge of the Soldiers
Home at Hampton, who expressed a
fear that the disease was prevalent
there. DR.. Wyman Immediately avail
ed himself of the presence at Norfolk
of Surgeon Wasdin, and directed that
he proceed at once to Hampton and
make careful examination of the sus-
poets. This afternoon the Surgeon
General received word from Dr. Was
din expressing his conviction that the
hospital authorities had been correct in
their fears, and that the disease was
genuine yellow fever. Surgeon White
of this city and Surgeon Worten Baker
from Wilmington, n. c., will go to
Hampton Immediately, and their as
sistants from the service will be direct
ed to proceed there so as the condition
of affairs can be learned and the needs

PRESENT DAY THOUGHTS.
BY g. Grosvenor Dave.

The New Man--As a toiler.-He sees
that the primal forces of the. world are
all against a man; that the chills of
winter benumb him; that the heats of
summer enervate him: that the hills
impede his progress; that the earth
quakes cast down his effort and that
time brings him to naught. 1t is clear
to him, therefore, that whatever this
world has gained in any direction is
the outcome of strenuous exertion.
He sees in the complicated world
around him with it's factories and it's
farms, its cities and its homes the re-
suit of human thought translated into
human effort. From the humblest
shack to the Hottest building, and
from the organization of the simplest
farm to that of the most progressive
and complicated modern city some
ones thought outlined the thing before
1t was and some ones effort made it to
be. Thus to him thought transformed
into effort is the greatest power in the
world: thought followed by no effort
is fruitless; effort preceded by no
thought is waste.
The New Man. as a toiler, honors
labor with his whole heart. He sees
furthermore that as the many drops of
water make the rolling sea so this vast
world, as moulded and conquered by
man, is what it is because the labor of
one is aided by the labor of another,
and the effort of one generation is car
ried on TO greater perfection by the
generations that follow He, there
fore, does not honor labor that thinks
only of itself and that fails to recog-
nize its cooperation with all that are.
have been and are to be. Viewing
things in this way he sees no disgrace
in any form of toll that helps on the
world. The man who yields the hoe
becomes to him fully as honorable as
the man who thinks the thought that
gives the hoe employment. To him all
men are honorable who do honorable
work wherever they are cast; to him
all men are dishonorable who think
only of gain for themselves, no matter
what happens to others.
Yet at the same time he sees a great
law at work which undoes the selfish
ness of the world and makes it, not
withstanding it's own blindness and
evil, help on the work of the whole; for
even the unruly and the thieving have
themselves been the cause for much
that is organized and orderly and law.
abiding in the world. Therefore the
New Man, as a toiler, solaces himself
! in the midst of his own perplexities
and hardships with the thought that
| all works ultimately work together for
good to this great work-a-day world
| the works of the grasping themselves
being the source of effort on the part
of others, to see that the grasping is
| forced to surrender up its good to the
great human family. The New Man
above all things. is consequently hope
| full, whether he toll with his head di-
rected hand. or with his head alone
directing other hands.
The New Man, as a toiler, allows
| himself no depression at seeing things
go seemingly wrong for he knows that
sooner or later, just as in the past.
the restless, upward movement of this
wondrous human race will keep on
Fighting wrongs, even though it may
not be in his little span of time. This
| hopefulness of his does not prevent
him from striving to bring improve

Code Of the Wigwag.

The operations of the modern Signal
Corps are three fold: Visual signaling
by flag or Telegraph, by torch or Ian
tern; electrical signaling, to which may
be added the gathering and transmit
ting of military information. The pres
emit Signal Corps work is an evolution,
it's original basis being visual signaling,
which, as it now exists, is due to the
inventive genius Of an American. the
late General Albert J. Myer, who de-
vised a simple signal code that has met
with general acceptance. The Myef
system provided for the simplest pos
sible alphabet and its means of signal
ing; a flag by day and torch by night,
were equally practical. The alphabet

are thirty cases of what is believed
to be genuine yellow fever at the Ma
tional Soldiers Home near Hampton,
and three deaths from the disease were
reported to-day.
There were several other deaths at

be stated tonight that all of them
were caused by yellow fever.

three deaths from the malady to-day

ence of yellow fever until to-day, it
is said that the disease made it's ap-
pearance three days ago.
The most rigid quarantine ,regula-
tions will be enforced to prevent the
spread of the malady.
The news has created great excite
ment in Newport News, Old Point and
Hampton. and the most vigorous meas
ures will be resorted to to prevent it's
spread. There are 1000 old veterans
at the home and several large excur-
sion parties went there last week.
