WANT TO GO TO MANILA.
The Fourth InEiunes Col. Petit Says,
Are Ready for More Service.

Col. Petit commanding the 4th Regiment
of immunes, which includes in its ranks
many residents of the District of Column
bia was at the War Department today in
conference with the authorities in regard
to the muster out of that regiment at
Camp Meade on the Sth instant. Col. Pet
tit is most enthusiastic in his praise of
his regiment, and says it Is a matter of re-
great that the government is soon to
lose the. services of so many efficient SOL
dierS. He says the regiment is in excellent
shape and that many of the men are ready
and willing to engage in active service in
the Philippines He informed Gen. Corbin
of the sentiments of his men and expressed
the hope that they might be continued in
service in case it was found necessary to
increase the army.
Gen. Corbn replied that it would be i'm
possible to continue the regiment in exist
ence as an organization. but that he would
be glad to avail himself of the services of
all the men who might desire to re-enlist
in the army. He paid the regiment a high
compliment, and said that its record for
the past year had never been eXcelled. 1t
was explained that in case of a call for
volunteers they would be apportioned
among the states the same done in
the organization of the recent volunteer
army.

Germany Has Not Protested Against
Her Going to Samoa.


of State that there have been any ex-
changes whatever between the department
and the German government or it's repre-
sentatives relative to the replacement of
the flagship Philadelphia by the cruiser
Newark at Apia. Samoa. The subject has
not even been mentioned in conversation
and nothing in the nature of a protest
against the sending of the ship to Samoa
has been lodged.
At the Navy Department it is said no or
ders have yet been forwarded to the
Newark, and nothing is known of any Ger
man protest. The original orders of the
America to the Pacific station, and it was
under those orders that she left Monte
Video about ten days ago. When Admiral
kautz announced his intention of sailing
from Apia for home it was determined to
send the Newark to take the place of the
Philadelphia at Apia, for otherwise the
United States interests in that quarter
would be left without the protection of a
single warship, the Badger not being such
a craft. The decision TO do this was not
in the slightest degree ascribaDle to any
intention to secure an advantage over Ger
many or Great Britain but simply to guar
autee the safety from the hostile natives
OF the foreigners, including the Americans,
and even the commissioners who should
not be left without some force at their dis
posal To enforce necessary orders and de-
out this plan it will be necessary TO send
her orders to that effect, but whether
these shall be forwarded TO Valparaiso or
to some more nOrtherly port has not been
determined 1t is said at the department
that there is a good deal of doubt as to
the ability of the Newark to carry enough
coal at one loading to make the passage
from Valparaiso to Apia. Inquiry will GER
tainly be made of the captain of the ship.
therefore, before giving any specific orders
that point, and if there exists a reason
bic doubt and the department still holds
to its intention 10 have a warship at Apia,
the Newark will be allowed to go as far
north as Caliao at least before striking
across the Pacific, and will then touch in
at Honolulu.
The German ambassador, Dr. Won Hole
ben, authorizes denial of report print
ed in some quarters today. that he had
made representations in objection TO the
dispatch of the cruiser Newark to Samoa.
The report is disInis sed at the German en-
bassy as a silly invention.

A Restless Elephant.
F,.>,, Tim DhiIabalphio Record

Among the elephants that gave interest
to last weeks circus was one big fellow of
African birth, who, according to his keep
ers, has not been known to lie down once
in the last twenty years. Just why he has
adopted this eccentricity none of the circus
people could tell. 1t Is customary for these
huge creatures to lie down at night in TAX
ing their rest, but this particular elephant
has never been known to relax from his up
risS> position further than to lean against
post. Wi3l this tr.fiing exception he has
kept his potition for twenty years, sway
ing gently to and fro most of the time and
coming to standstill only when he closes
his eyes in sleep One keeper holds the
weird theory that the elephant has made a
terrible vow never to lie down while he Is
in captivity, and that he is ever on the
alert for an opportunity to escape and take
a good long rest on mother earth Like
all his companions, he is very securely
chained. and in twenty years his chance for
freedom has never come.

NOW SWEEPING STREETS.
But He Once Was Dreaded All Along
the Western Frontier.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.
There is now sweeping streets in New
York city a man who has had as stirring a
life as falls to the human lot. and who in
his way was formerly famous. Richard F.
Marcy is half-breed Indian, being the son
of a full-blooded Apache squaw and a ne
gro slave. He is the father of twenty-five
children, born of five wives and has dis
charges showing honorable service in the
United States army for over thirty years.
His scalp has been valued at as high as
$4,000, although he never possessed one
tenth that sum; and today, at siXty-two
years of age, he is as clipper as a lad of
tWenty-one.
Marcy spent the first sixteen years of
his life in an Indian camp. The life was
much too dull for a boy of his fire. although
the freedom was just what he would wish.
He enlisted in the army a scout, and
in 1861 was transferred with 100 other
friendly Indians to the eastern field of war.
But the life in the white mans camp was
hardly suited to the free and easy warriors
of the plains, and the ways of the white
mans We're all too new to them. Mar
cy and his comrades had come to scout,
primarily, although they were willing TO
shoulder gun if occasion required, but
they most emphatically had not come to do
the dirty work of a camp. muttny arose
among them. Buffalo Bill Cody, then also
a scout in the eastern armies, laid the mat
ter before the President, personally. stat
ing that the Italians, although loyal, were
not accustomed to the discipline of the
regular army. Lincoln all this at a
glance and sent the band of scouts to serve
in the west Here they did good work, Mar
cy so distinguishing himself that within
ten years he was one of the terrors of the
western frontier. When Sitting Bull rose
he disguised himself in war paint and went
to offer his services to the famous chief.
He so deceived Sitting Bull that the greater
part of the latter's movements became
known to the whites. When the chief, after
his crushing defeat, took refuge in Canada,
he remembered the manner in which Marcy
had hoaxed him with such rage that he
sent back to the territory offering $4,000
for the scalp of the scout. But no one
seemed anxious to earn the reward. Marcy
served up until three years ago, when
he took his discharge and set out to seek
his fortune at some other trade. He wan
dered to New York, and. seeing nothing else
handy offered himself to Col. Warning
a street sweeper. He has been in the Serv-
ice ever since and is apparently satisfied.
Three of his fourteen sons are in the navy
and is in the army.

Take a short Nap Daily.
From the Iadies' Home Journal.


During the day every one should take a
few minutes sleep. preferably directly af-
ter the noon meal The time given to it
may seem too precious for one in business,
but it will be more than compensated for
by the mental and bodily condition that
follows. Sit in an easy-chair. Lying down
directly after meal crowds the digestive
organs and makes ones sleep restless in
stead of restful Rest the head comfort

Arguments All in at Last in the Drey.

PARIS, June 1.-Miatre Mornard's speech
in summing up the Dreyfus case was large
ly rethrcshing of straw already thorough
ly threshed out by NM Ballot DeBeaupre
and ManGu. He warmly eulogZed the re-
port of Ballot to Beaupre and applauded
the conclusions arrived at by NJ. Manau.
Counsel for Madame Dreyfus concluded
with protesting against the idea that even
for the sake of the honor of the army
might should dominate over right. He said
the army itself was thirsting for honor
and justice to be rendered, and he pointed
out that the army could not be dishonored
by the acknowledgment that a judicial err

Police Methods in Vienna
From the New York Times.

OF all the cities in the world, IL a person
must be robbed. Vienna is the town in
which to have the performance enacted.
Some time ago a Boston gentleman had
his watch, valuable gold one, and a sum
of money stolen from him while in that
city. He offered $50 reward for the recov-
cry OF the property The watch did not
appear and on returning to America he
left his name and address and the number
OF his watch, together with the amount of
the reward. with the police. A short time
ago the gentleman received his watch to-
gether with the reward. intact and a polite
note from the director saying that it was
against the rules for policemen to receive
money rewards; of course II a civilian had
recovered the watch the reward would
have been paid. The only charge was fifty
cents, the expense of transporting the
watch from New York to Boston The
thief had been arrested in Vienna the
watch had been found upon him and for
warded by the city government of Vienna
free of charge to New York. There is
degree of innocence about the Vienna police
that suggests odious comparisons.

IN THE DISPUTED LAND.
Authority of the United States officials
Has Been Established.

The only United States military garrison
in the disputed Alaskan territory near the
head of Lynn canal is a company Of the
18th Infantry, stationed at Dyea. A small
detachment of the 18th Infantry Is now on
its way to that post to relieve the 14th In
fantrymen. who are under orders to pro-
coed to the Philippines. So far as known
there is no present purpose on the part of
the military authorities to increase the
garrison at that post or to establish new
posts in that particular part of Alaska.
United States troops have proceeded as far
into the interior as the extreme limit of the
United States boundary line. but, as a rule,
they have confined their operations to the
territory below the passes, which are about
twenty-five miles above Dyea. The propo-
sition to establish a post at Pyramid har-
Dor was abandoned for the reason that it
was not regarded as necessary to have an
other post so near the one already eStab-
ished at Dyea- 1t is stated that the Cana
dian police have never attempted to exer-
else any authority within the lines estab-
Hshed by the United States. Negotiations
are now in progress between the British
ana United States governments for modus
vivendi with respect to the territory in dis
pute in the vicinity of Lynn canal, pending
the proposed settlement of the boundary
dispute by arbitration. The two questions
are practically interdependent and the set
tefnent OF one Just now seems about as re-
mote as the settlement of the other
The customs officials at the treasury are
very cautious in discussing the territory
now occupied by customs officials in Alas
ka which may be in dispute. Dyea was
long ago made a SUPPORT by the authori-
ties. and in addition customs stations have
been established nearer the disputed land.
and are held by the United States. One
OF these is on the east side of White Pass,
to which railway runs from Skaguay-
IL is called Log Cabin station. The chief
work of the United States officers estab-
nShed there is to convey goods in bond
through Alaska to Canadian territory. A
place known as Haynes station has also
been established near the mouth of the
Chilkoot river. on Lynn canal The Cana
dian authorities have not given the Off
Gals at any of these points much annoy
ance, although it was reported some time
ago that trouble had taken place at
Haynes station between American pros
pectorS and Canadian officials.

Bears Have Control of the Stock
Market Again Today.
SHARP DROP IN WESTERN UNION
Commission Houses Buy Some
Shares on the Declines.
GENERAL MARKET REPORTS
Special Dispatch to The Evening Star

Special Dispatch 10 The Evening Star.
NEW YORK. June 1.-The trading i'm this
mornings stock market was fairly steady
in tone, but the feverish irreguiarity Of the
last few days was frequently in evidence.
For the first time during the week commits
sion houses were moderate buyers OF Ger
tain issues. and In many Instances pur-
chases at the decline were recommended
where actual payment was contemplated
The industrial list had better inside sup
port than at any time recently. and this
fact was taken an indication OF a de-
termination to stay the downward move
ment for time al least.
The market has been one OF liquidation
during the last few days and room traders
nave sold stocks because OF the certainty
that there would be no difficulty in making
deliveries. Certain prominent operators
who have been in most OF the recent syn
dictate or pool transactions have been ulu-
dating their holdings because OF special
conditions which have no connection with
values.
The break in Western Union Telegraph
stock today. extending to , per cent. will
ultimately receive the same explanation as
that Of the recent declines I'm other active
issues.
The continuous liquidation in Sugar has
fulhHei the predictions Of certain strong
interest, and has invited some covering on
large scale at today's prices. The meet
ing for the dividend on this stock may he
preceded by a sharp recovery, inasmuch as
the opinion is gaining ground that no
Grange viii be made in the regular quar-
terly rate.
In the railroad list there is still consider
able irregularity in the course Of the mar
ket. The decreases in net earnings and
increases in gross are becoming more no.
ticeable in certain sections, and give rise
to fears of rate cutting on a scale not vet
publicly known. The competition for east
bound traffic may result In some unproit-
able business before the season is over and
already some conservatism is being inspired
among the friends of the trunk lines
The main situation. looking little deem
er than the surface. is not one of dlscour-
agement. Where actual purchases are
made some very substantial gains seem
reasonably certain later in the season
There is growing belief I'm certain ouar-
ters that the market will yet have an up-
ward movement under Industrial leader
ship. Tine decline in the new copper shares
Is a disturbing factor for the time being
but the recovery i'm this group of issues is
a mere matter of within on the part of the
floating interest
