Arc Watching Russia.

New York, Dec. ia dispatch to the
Tribune from London says: The Mail
publishes this morning evidence of Rus
sian activity at Ceuta and Tangier. and in
central Asia and Abyssinia and urges it's
readers to watch the movements of Rus
sia, France and probably another power
in the event of any further reverse to
British troops in South Africa. There are
current rumolS in high circles that Lord
Salisbury, Sir Michael Hicks Beach and
other members of the cabinet are now an
CRY with Mr.. Chamberlain for not warm
ing them of the magnitude of what was
before the government. They cannot
justly hold him responsible, when the
ministry as a body fen inta a Dutch am
buscadc as Well as the war office.
Whatever may be the grievances of the
military staff or Mr. cha,nberlains own
colleagues, the ministry now has the
united country behind ii in carrying on
the war to the bitter end. The Stormberg
reverse causes intense humiliation but
there are no signs OF tiinching from the
work Which England has undertaken The
Dutch forces have not followed up their
victory at Stormbelg by attacking Gen.
Gatacre at Molteno and the British re-
verse has not interrupted French's eau
tious advance toward Coesburs. SEr-
mishing having been resumed on Monday
Gen. Gatacre's second report of his dis
astrous battle is badly written and leaves
the mystery of the capture of portions of
two battalionS unSoiVed. The unfoltu-
nate general has no serse of humor or he
would have avoided saying that the po-
licenan took the British army round
some miles and landed it in an impossi-
Bile position and that he had sent the
Irish rifles and the fighting Fifth to
SterkstloOm to recuperate. Pretoria Ger
tainly is not an ideal colvalesccnt's home.

senger's SOiled Handkerchief.
New York, Aug. 2.-While the passen-
gers of the steamship Friedrich der Crosse
were being landed at the pier of the North
Deputy Surveyor Bowling had his suspi-
cions aroused by the action of one of the
vessels saloon passengers, and Detectives
Brown and Donohue instituted a close
watch.
On the cabin list he appeared as "a. H.
Emanuel, New York" A woman, who said
she was his wife, was there to meet him,
and while talking to her the detectives
placed him under arrest. A gold watch and
bracelet which he had not declared, were
taken from him and sent to the seizure
room.
Nothing else dutiable in the way of jew
elry was found, and the detectives had
begun to think that the capture was an
unimportant one when the passenger,
mopping his face with a soiled silk hand
kerchief asked his wife if she had a clean
er one TO give him.
She handed him one of a more immacu-
late color, and he started to give her his
soiled one, when Detective Donohue inter-
posed and took the handkerchief himself.
Knotted in one corner he found brooch,
set with diamonds, and worth, il is said,
about s., 000
The prisoner was arraigned before Uni
ted States Commissioner Russ, who held
him in 81 1,O0e bail to answer to charge
of smuggling. Emanuel gave his residence
as No. 247 West 12Sth Street, and described
himself as an agent Of a Milwaukee brew
cry.

NAVY DEPARTMENT NOTES.
Captain Taylor Reports Movements
of the North Atlantic Fleet.

Capt. Henry c. Taylor, commanding the
North Atlantic feet in the temporary alb
sence of Rear Admiral Sampson, advises
the Navy Department that the fleet would
leave Newport for Bar Harbor at o'clock
on the evening of August 4, and arrive at
Bar Harbor on the morning of the 9Th.
In his annual report TO the Chief Naval
Constructor, Naval Constructor Bowles, in
charge OF the construction department al
the Brooklyn navy yard, recommends the
erection of a new stone and concrete dock
at the yard. He urges strongly the re-
moval OF part of the Cob dock. and the
construction in the space OF eleven piers
extending out into WallabOut Channel. Mr..
Bowles says that under the present ar
rangement the working capacity of the
yard is limited, there not being sufficient
room for berthing and repairing ships. He
asks also for an appropriation for the
erection of new four-stOry building 10
be used as a warehouse and boathOuse.
In an opinion rendered by the Judge
Advocate General of the Navy, that officer
holds that a naval vessel is not required
to employ pilot. despite compulsory pi
lotage laws, in entering or leaving har
Dor of the United States. The opinion was
based on a claim made by pilots at New
Orleans, La, that in taking his vessel up
to that city, Captain Longnecker, of the
cruiser New Orleans, was Obliged to avail
himself of their services, which he failed
to do.

MINING LAND IN DISPUTE.
A Discharged Official Takes Posses
sion of Property in Arizona.

Ell Paso, Tex, Aug: 2.-President George
NJ. Jacocks and Counsel c. C. Dickinson.
of the Federal Smelling Company, of Tex
as, and the Dragon Summit Copper Mines
of Arizona, met with a novel experience
few days ago at Dragon Summit. Pres
ident Jacocks discharged Superintendent
Fitzgerald, of the mines, and went to
Dragon Summit from here with Dickin-
son for the purpose of taking possession
They heard that resistance would be Of
fered, and took three armed men with
them. ""' -''"'' e'.'"-'--
When the party reached the mines they
found Fitzgerald and fifteen men armed
with Winchesters. a lawyer from this city
was also present as legal adviser for the
superintendent President Jacocks said he
had come to take possession, and the Ell
Paso lawyer said that the mines
belonged to his client, Mr.. Fitz-
gerald, who was prepared TO
hold them against all comers After
parley the capitalists withdrew. They
reached here today. They said that they
procured an injunction from a Federal
judge in Arizona to prevent Fitzgerald
from shipping ore, and had warned the
Southern Pacific Railway that if any ore
was hauled from the mines ii would be
responsible. Fitzgerald said that he pur-
chased the mines with money borrowed
from the stockholders and disputes their
title. but President Jacocks says he holds
the deeds, and will ultimately get in POS
session. The stockholders of the Federal,
Smelter. and Dragon mines are mostly
New Workers.

MIR. vANDERBILT's AUTOMOBILE
He Claims to Have Made the Newport
Record for Speed.

Newport, R. L. Aug. 2-William K Van
derbilt, jr., who is apparently Newport's
most intrepid automoblist, may claim the
record for speed for this city, at least, if
the measurements of distances traversed
are correct and if Mr.. Vanderbilt's watch
can be relied upon.
Mr.. Vanderbilt, accompanied by Oliver H.
P. Belmont, yesterday made three and
half miles in six minutes, Mr.. Vanderbilts
-geared French machine being used. 1t
is propelled by gasoline power and is faster
than the electric automobile
The matter of making a record was not
at all premeditated. Mr. Vanderbilt guided
the machine, occupying the saddle seat.
Mr.. Belmont had the most comfortable sit
ting, and was merely passenger. The ma
chine was made to do its best except
around the corners, where it was neces-
sarily held up to prevent it from over
turning. Though the roads were fairly
good, some hills were encountered. There
was some slight interference by vehicles,
or possibly better time would have been
made.

LIN Michigan.

Two of Senator McMillan's business part
ners and avowed friends have made liberal
contributions 10 the fund with which the
expenses of the "Alger welcome" to De-
troit are TO be betrayed. One of them ac-
companied his check with a note express
ing contempt for President Mckinley and
his cowardly treatment of General Alger."
The donator also "hopes the reception will
be the biggest thing on record"
Neither President Mckinley nor his sup
porters need have cause to regard this, or
the numerous other similar manifestations
in Michigan, seriously. The strange ways
of Michigan politics may be past finding
out, but there is nothing in this particular
kind of ebulljtion either strange or threat
ening. Ii is exactly of a piece with the
sympathy which Senator Mcmillan re-
Gently expressed for Alger when the latter
was forced by the pressure of public opin
ion 10 retire from the Cabinet.
Tactics of this sort cannot divert the
issue of Algerism in Michigan any more
than in other parts of the country. Alger
is gone but Algerism remains to plague
the Administration, as witness Eagan. II
may be possible that sufficient woe can be
worked up in Michigan TO send Alger to
the Senate, but that will not cleanse the
Administrations record OF Algerism. That
is still distinct and overtowering issue in
current politics. and will so remain as long
as the Administration treats Eagan as a
martyr, the beef combine as part of the
Government, and Otis as a paragon OF civic
wisdom and a military genius.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 2, 1899.
The Hobart Diplomacy.

Vice President Hobart is receiving a
meed of praise, for his diplomacy in Sc
curing the mild valedictory statement of
Mr. Alger. which we are afraid he does
not altogether deserve. Friends Of the
President declare that it has pulled the
teeth of any Pingree design TO assail the
Administration through the former Secre-
tary, and that he no longer represents the
danger Of exposure to anyone.
1t may be objected TO this view of the
matter, that it is entirely too optimistic,
and that there may be sinister signifi-
canoe in Mr.. Algers careful avoidance,
in his statement, of the principal matters
in connection with which the American
people have expressed so much indigna-
tion that he was compelled to leave the
Cabinet in order to appease it.
There must have been a deliberate pur-
pose in ignoring the beef, the camp, and
the transport scandals, for which Alger' 5
friends say he is not personally response
bic. They know, OF course, that some
body is, or he would not have been Off
cially decapitated as the head and front
OF the offending. We can only assume that
such matters are merely postponed to a
u. more convenient season, as ammunition
better fitted to fire from ambuscade in the
piney woods of Michigan, than right here
in the shadow Of the White House.
Mr.. Hobart has only succeeded in Undue
ing his friend from Kalamazoo to praise
Mr.. Mckinley for the neatness and des-
patch with which he billeted the young
Blaines, Hayeses, Logans, Aliens, Ayers,
and so on, upon the army last year. He
disclaims any credit fer himself on that
account. We notice at the same time,
that he does not applaud the President for
other things, and neither admits nor de-
nies his own culpability in connection with
them.
1t is not too late for him to do one or
the other. Silence on his part, if he should
choose to maintain it, will be accepted by
the public in the light of that plea which
always obviates the necessity of resort to
a jury. But il is inconceivable that Po-
tato Pingree will permit him to rest under
the cloud of obloquy which appearances
and the national verdict have made to
hang over him like the sword of Damocles
suspended by hair from a decomposing
side of army beef Pingree will insist that
a man would better hide from bullets sixty
miles away under a bed in the Eutaw
House, for a whole generation, than to re-
main dumb when, as the Algerians say,
their favorite is bearing the frightful sins
OF others.
Therefore, We think it may be conf
IDENTIFY predicted that under the political
coaching of Pingree this innocent Cabinet
lamb which has been cruelty led to slaugh-
ter, will ignore precedent and not only
open its mouth, but, when the proper
time comes" bleat like bull of Bashan.

KEYSTONE STATE VOTING.
An Appeal From the Philadelphia
Municipal League Granted

An Appeal From the Philadelphia
Municipal League Granted.
Harrisburg, Pa, Aug. 2.-Attorney Gen.
eral Elkin has granted the prayer of the
Municipal League of Philadelphia asking
that suggestion be filed in the court Of
common pleas of Dauphin county for writ
of inandamus against the secretary Of the
commonwealth to compel the publication
OF certain proposed amendments to ihe con-
stitution passed at the recent session of the
legislature, but vetoed by the governor.
After citing the fact that Governor Rit-
ner. Governor Geary, Governor Bigeler,
Governor Hartranft. and Governor Pattison
had all exercised the right to approve or
veto resolutions to amend the constitution
and much other matter bearing On the SUBJ
ject, the attorney general says: From all
the precedents and authorities herein before
referred to it clearly appears that .hefe ls
diversity of opinion and practice on this
question. This being the case it is only
proper that it should be finally determined
in the courts and for this purpose the at
terney general is entirely willing that a
proper proceeding shall be instituted.
The amendments in question propose
change in the manner of registration of
voters and in the method of voting so as to
permit the use of voting machines.

tors For this ne was app.auded by the
sound judgment of all intelligent people
at home and in Porto Rico. OF course,
General Ludlow would have been SO ap-
plauded, too, il he had followed General
Henry's example when a much more ag-
grayating case than that in Porto Rico
was presented in the Cuban capital. He
should have put the scurrilous scribblers in
Jail and suppressed their newspaper. This
would have done much to dampen the ar
dor of the palpitating patriots in Havana
who are crying down with the American
fagi" 1t would have shown them that our
military rule means something more than
lawn fetes by night and reviews of bedi-
zened columns by day.
He has left the editors of 'El Reconcen-
trado" free 10 do by stealth what his pre-
vious inactivity emboldened them to do
openly. More than that, he has encour-
aged the unruly rabble TO believe that this
Government shrinks from its obligation in
Cuba through either moral or physical
cowardice. We may expect to see the le-
gitimate fruits of his timidity and inca
pacity manifested through organized re-
volt against American authority in Cuba

i.al change is made in the Governor Gen
erals office at Vedado IS
