Marine P. J. O'Hara. a Worcester
boy, who served under Capt. Coghlan
on the Raleigh in the battle of Manila
bay was expected to arrive in this
country when the Raleigh came but did
not do So Marine O'HSra was trans
ferred from the Raleigh just prior to
it's departure from Manila to this coun-
try and sent to Tien Tsin, China, where
he will do land duty for five months, to
go then wherever his services are re-
quired by the government.
Marine OHara has already served
three years in the service of Uncle
Sam, and has two more to serve, his en-
listment being for five years. He has
spent almost the entire enlistment on
the Raleigh and has accompanied that
vessel all over the world. According to
the usual custom adopted in the SER
vice for marines to give them three
years, duty on sea and two on land, he
has been taken off the Raleigh and sent
to China where he is now doing duty
at the American consulate in Tien Tsln.
O'Hara's parents who reside at IL
Trumbull street, expected that their
hoy would arrive home on the Raleigh
and as he did not come to Worcester
his brother and sister were sent TO new

NOT OF ONE MIND.
German Americans Do Not All Agree as
to Captain Coghan's Talk.
ME New York Sun says:


The New York sun says:
1.-THE propensity Of some adopted Am
erican citizens of German birth, the
Hon. Carl Schurz, for example, and Dr.
Emil Preetorius, to speak in the name
of all American citizens of German
birth or descent, is frequently resented
by those whose opinion they assume to
represent.
1--WE believe that DR.. Preetorius will
hear soon and emphatically from some
of the GOO editors whose views of Am
erican policy he declares to be unani-
mously like his own. The comments of
the American newspapers printed in
the German language on Capt. Cogh-
lan's recent utterances indicates a wide
divergence of opinion and a refreshing
contrast of attitude. Thus, while DR..
Preetorius's newspaper denounces the
captain of the Raleigh as a "braying
jackass," and endeavors to represent
the behaviour of the German vice ad-
miral in Manila Bay as correct
throughout, the editor Of the German
DemOkrat of Philadelphia attaches lit
tie Importance to Capt COg.hlan's
speech, and admits that the German
officers in the Philippines have been
overbearing and nasty. in their man
ners" and the editor of the Anzeiger
of Cleveland, remarks that doubtless
Dewey was much worried at the atti-
tude Of the German squadron" while
another prominent American citizen of
German birth in Cleveland is quoted as
saying that he sees nothing whatever
to criticise in Capt COghlan's speech"

MARINE P. j. O'HARA.
Worcester Boy Who Served Board the Raleigh at Maniae
Now Land Duty in China.

York to find out If he had arrived on
the Raleigh. Capt. Coghlan told them
that their brother had not come on the
Raleigh, having been transferred to
land duty in China some time before
the cruiser left for this country. When
his parents received the news they
were much disappointed as they were
hoping to see their boy, whom they
haven't seen for three years.
They have received a letter lately
from their son which explained his
whereabouts. The letter was written
from Tien Tsin, China, and was writ
ten on paper of the letter of the arse
nal of the fortress of Cavite.
He says he is enjoying good health
and is in good spirits. He is perfectly
satisfied with his life in China and says
he is enjoying himself Immensely.
The weather in Tien Tsin, he says
is going to be very cold this winter and
the natives there state that 40 degrees
below zero is nothing out of the ordi-
nary.
Marine O'Hara's description of the
battle of Manila bay is very graphic
and interesting. He says the surrended
of the city of Manila to Gen. Wesley
Merritt was great sight. When the
Spanish flag was hauled down, hardly
a moment elapsed when Old Glory was
flying from the same Flagstaff. He says
that was the quickest time on record.

DON'T DISLIKE o'ooNNELL.
Republicans State That His Politics is the
Worst Thing About Him.

The ldoings of the board of aldermen
at Monday nights meeting furnished a
fruitful topic for conversation at city
hall yesterday. No little surprise Yves
expressed at the action of the aldermen
In refusing to appoint John NJ. OCon-
nell as assistant assessor from ward 8.
The democrats in all sections of the
city are particularly wrought UP over
the question, and back up tho state
ments of their Representatives made in
the upper board Monday night. They
claim that there was absolutely no rea-
son for dropping O'Connell who has
been considered one of the best men in
the position, other than a desire to APP
point a republican in his place.
Mayor Dodge said he was wholly I'M
acquainted with the tact that O'Con-
nell was undesirable as a member OF
the assessors force. His name was
in as one of the applicants and as he
had understood that O'Connell had
done good work in former years, sent in
his appointment Mr.. OConnell has al
SO done good work for the city clerk
during the past two years and given ex-
| cellent satisfaction.
The story yesterday and the one gen
orally accepted is that the republicans
think they deserve some recognition
for bringing ward into the republican
ranks after hard fight, and that one
of their desires was to have a republi-
can appointed in Mr.. OConnelPs place
Hence the action of Monday night. II
is understood that John Moberg desir-
ed the office, but failed of reappoint-
ment.
Republicans in the board of aldermen
say they have nothing against Mr.
~
that they agreed to support Alderman
Huots motion.

THE FIRST STEP TAKEN.
South Worcester Improve
ment Society Gets
Under Way.

The first step toward the form
alton of an improvement society at
South worcester, was taken at meet
ing in the Sunday school room of Hope
Church, last night. The meeting was
called by Councilman James F. Timon,
who is at the head of the movement,
and although the attendance was
rather small, had the effect Of bringing
cut q delegation of representative cit
liens of South Worcester.
After listening to the opinion OF
those present as to the desirabilfty of
society of the kind in view, it was
decided to adjourn for one week, dur
ing which time each man present
should make an effort to bring one or
two friends, to the next meeting.
Councilman Timon presided, and af-
ter briefly stating the purpose of the
society is for the improvement of South
Worcester from all standpoints, called
on those present for their views of the
matter.
The general sentiment of the meeting
was that South Worcester is one of
the most promising sections of the
town, both from a business and res
idential standpoint. That while other
portions of the city have been favored
In the way OF Improvements, the south
end has been overlooked for the reason
perhaps, as one man remarked, that
favors had not been asked.
1t was decided, however, that it is
time that residents Of the south end
who have established reputation for
ward 5, as the banner ward of the city,
so far as the payment Of taxes is con-
cerned, should ask and receive more in
the way of improvement from the city
council.
Maps were exhibited, showing what
the board of health intend doing tow
ard cleansing the Blackstone river
from Holden to Quinsigamond, and an
outline of what is planned in the way
of public parks and improvement in
the conditions surrounding the river
was explained.
Those who spoke were Rev. E. w.
Phillips, George H.. Dutton, John I'll
mon, c. S. Hall, John Jewell, Samuel
Overend, Mr.. Hanratty, Mr.. Midgely.
At the close of the meeting a vote of
thanks was given Rev. E. w. Phillips
for his kindness in allowing the use of
the church for the meeting.

The fact that most of the claimants in
