Freedman probably released Meekin to
even up old scores with his enemies,
but the Boston management did wrong
in helping along his game. There is no
kick coming on the Brooklyn manage
ment after this Meekin transaction.
Manager Han1on released Pitcher Al
Maui today. Some time ago Maul's sis
ter passed away, and since then Maui
has been disconnected away from home.
Last week he told Hanlon that he could
stand the strain no longer, and longed
to be home to comfort and care for his
mother. Mr.. HanlOn Immediately acted
upon the application for his release, and
todayMaul severed his connection with
the Brooklyn team.

baseball world afire. The club received
its first shut-out recently, and Goeckel
is reported to have played in a nervous
manner. Dick Cooley was a big favorite
with the Quaker players, and the har-
pooh will be brought into use daily.
Goeckel is a good fielder, but as an in
side player and run getter he is not
in COoley's class.
AS soon as President Dreyfus of
Louisville, heard about Cooley's lay-off
he started for Pittsburg, arriving here
yesterday. He said: 'Yes,I came to
get Cooley. He is one of the best ball
players in this country, and, if properly
supported here by your management,
newspapers and the public, would have
led your team in first in this years pen
the league today who can worry pitch
ers more than Cooley, or who are bet
ter hitters and run getters. ''-Philadel-

CHEERS FOR RUSNELL SAGE
A Thousand Children Given a Outing
by Him.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, Aug. 1S-Fully
a thousand poor boys and girls of this
city cheered Russell Sage today for
giving them an outing on his railroad
and at Upton Lake Park, three miles
from here.
The children were invited to enjoy
the outing by Charles Madison, super
intendent of the Rescue mission, and
Mr.. Sage did the rest. Mr.. Sage owns
the POughkeepsie and Eastern Railroad
and reports show that he maintains it
at annual loss of from $40, 900 to SIS, 900.
Why he holds it is a mystery in this
vicinity.
Preparations had been in progress for
two weeks for the picnic, and that no
waif might be overlooked the Salvation
army helped the Rescue mission in
gathering the cowd. The train con-
sisted of ten cars and was SO heavy
that the baggage car, which contained
the provision for the day, was left to
be taken on another train.
Mr.. Sage'S employees took charge of
the boys and girls, but put no restraint
on their cheering. The picnic was a
great success, and Mr.. Sage's name was
frequently cheered by the youngsters.

CALLED OTIS
A COWARD.
Term Applied to the COmman d.
ing General
By General Hale, According to
an Orderly.
VICTORY SPOILED.
Recalled Hale, Who Was Max
ing a Winning Fight,
And Reprimanded Him Then
Hale Spoke Up.

Denver, Colo, Aug. 1S.-According to
letter received here today from Henry
Kerr, General Hale's orderly, General
Hale was recalled from the firing line
in an engagement with the Filipinos
and ordered to report in person to the
commanding general
Hale, it seems, had entered the en-
gagement without direct orders. He
was in the act of winning a great vic
tory, but he obeyed Withdrawing the
brigade from the firing line, and rode
on his horse to General Otis headquar-
tiers. This is the conversation that is
said to have ensued:
General Hale, you shall not disobey
me while I am in command of this
army. I want you to explain why you
made that movement with your bri-
gade.'' spoke Otis.
i did not disobey any ORDERS" re-
piled Hale, land well you know it.
came here to fight, and if that is not
your policy, I want you to understand
that it is mine. 1 saw an opportunity
to make a successful attack today and
tried to accomplish it, but you inter-
fered and caused me to fail"
This matter will go to Washington"
Otis said, land you shall suffer for it."
If it does, I shall prefer charges
against you for cowardice," Hale re-
torted.
How dare you to suggest such a
thing? You are an inferior officer and
if you do not retract it 1 will place you
under arrest" Otis roared.
Hale made no retraction, but he drew
forth from his pocket a set of army
regulations and referred Otis to a sec
ton stating that any subordinate Off
Ger had the right to cause the arrest of
a superior officer for cowardice.
The war of words between the two
generals was continued on these lines
for over half an hour. Hale got the
best of the argument and Otis finally
gave up, dropping the case entirely.
General Hale, up. to three months
ago, intended to remain in the service,
and was laying his plans to stay in the
Philippines. The friction between Otis
and himself, however, caused him to
change his intention, and he applied to
be mustered out. He is now on his way
home.
Sensational developments in the Otis
Hale controversy are expected after
the Colorado volunteers are discharged.

BRYAN BACK AT LINCOLN.
Discusses Political Sentiment as He
Found It on His Tour.

Lincoln, Neb. Aug. 1S.-Colonel
Bryan has returned from four weeks
speechmaking tour through the middle
west. He delivered twenty-five adj
dresses in seven states. He reports i'm
mense audiences everywhere he spoke,
and an absorbing and increa sing inter-
est in pending political problems He
said that the sentiment for the reaf-
firmation of the Chicago platform is so
nearly unanimous that he does not be-
lieve any opposition to it will be mani
tested at the next national convention.
He says he found the sentiment against
the trusts almost universal and an in
creasing opposition to the presidents
Philippine policy. Asked as to his views
on the expediency of placing any par
ticular issue to the foreground, he re-
sponded at once:
1T savors too much of a man choos-
ing between his own children when all
are equally deserving. It seams to me
that a political party should enunciate
it's principles, and then stand by them
firmly, as much for one as the other"
He declined to discuss the recent
Croker Interview, smiling broadly at it's
mention. He is besieged with requests
for speeches for the next three months,
but beyond a few speeches in Nebraska,
he proposes resting for two weeks.
He will attend the Democratic state
convention at Omaha next Tuesday at
the head of the Lancaster county dele
cation.

INNOVATION IN THE ARMY.
Root Inaugurates q New Policy After
Miles Disapproves u.


Washington. Aug. 1S-Secretary Root
has inaugurated an important policy
for the regular amry. For some time
past the English system of keeping one
battalion of a regiment at home While
the other two are engaged In foreign
service has been under consideration.
The plan was submitted to all the de-
partment commanders for their rec
ommendation. Endorsements of it were
received from Gems. Merritt, Brooke,
Otis, Davis, Ludlow and Wood When
the department commanders had made
their recommendations the plan was
then submitted to Gen. Miles for his
opinion. Gen Miles, after having it
under consideration for several days,
wrote on it ''disapprOved," and sent it
to Secretary Root, with the accom-
panying papers. Secretary Root took
the matter up, and after reading all
sued an order to have five battalions
from the five regiments in Cuba sent
home
The purpose of the plan is to keep
UP the effective strength of the regi-
ments. When a man Is sick or wound
ed in the foreign service he viii be
sent, as soon as practicable, to the bat
talon of his regiment stationed in this
country. A fresh man will be sent on
in his place The battalion at home
will keep constantly recruiting to sup
ply the places of men who die from
sickness or wounds, and in this way
the regiment can always be kept up to
its maximum strength.
It is not probable that Secretary
Root will order home any of the bat
talions of the regiments now at Ma
Mia. The new policy adopted will like
Iy not be applied to the Philippine reg
iments until after the rebellion has
been crushed.
Gen. Miles did not state his objec-
tions to the new plan in writing, but is
understood he believes better results
for the service can be obtained by
keeping the full regiment together.

Must Supply 100000 Pounds of Food
Daily For OTIS Men.

Washington, Aug. 1s-The commits
sary department is now working busily
to provide food and subsistence for the
army of the Philippines. The bulk of
the material must be purchased in this
country and shipped from San Fran
cisco. When 1t is realized that 200. OOC
pounds of food will be consumed every
day by the men in the Philippines some
idea can be gained of the quantities
which will have to be provided.
The first order for $4,000 men has
been made up by Commissary General
weston This is only preliminary, and
similar orders will follow, so there will
be no intermission in the supplies.
One Of the largest items on the list is
100000 pounds of flour. With this go
100000 pounds of hard bread, 80 900
pounds OF crackers and 80 900 pounds
of gingersnaps. The first order for cof-
fee amounts to 100000 pounds. Five
thousand cases of corned beef and rs
600 pounds of Goldfish form two import
ant items. The canned goods in the
order include everything which a first
class grocer usually sells. Tomatoes
head the list to the extent of $50 tons.
In the list also are 2, 500 cases of green
corn, 200 cases of lobster, 4, 200 cases of
salmon, 500 cases of fancy soups and
canned peaches, peas and apples in
large quantities. Other items are 81
600 pounds of chocolate. 1000 cases of
condensed milk, ], 900 cases of condens-
ed cream, 5000 cases of evaporated
fruits and 5000 cases of oatmeal.
A welcome addition to the commits
sary stores which are placed on sale
viii be 5000 barrels of ginger ale in
bottles. All kinds of dainties are pro-
vided for the men. Fifty cases of
mushrooms are included, as well as
several thousand pounds of candy in
half-pound boxes. Among the stand
ard articles of diet in rations are SO. 600
gallons of vinegar, 40 900 pounds of
pepper and several thousand pounds of
cheese Five hundred cases of baked
beans are added to help out the order
of uncooked beans.
Rice and sugar are purchased prin-
cipally in the Philippines, although
some qualities of finer sugar are in
cluded in the order. Fresh beef is sent
from Australia to Manila in refrigera-
tor ships. The meat is frozen, and is
said to be excellent quality. 1t will
take $50 tons of bacon per month to
supply the troops.
one of the items of this order is 76.-
600 pounds of plug tobacco. There will
also go with this consignment II 900
pipes Of assorted kinds and several
thousand pounds of fancy smoking to-
bacco in tin cans and packages.
