THE DEWEY HOME FUND.
More Than Five Thousand Contribute
ed to 1t Yesterday.

Since the announcement several days ago
that the Dewey Home Fund was about to
close with a contribution of some So, 900,
representing about 10000 subscribers, the
people seem to have become more deeply
interested in the movement, and yesterday
letters containing contributions fairly
rolled in on Treasurer Roberts. The days
contribution reached the handsome sum of
s5,695, the largest amount received in any
one day since the fund was started. The
total subscriptions now amount to s32, ,76S.
Treasurer Roberts said last evening that
the Dewey Home Committee would like to
receive about $50, 900 additional before the
arrival of the Admiral, and he is confident
that more substantial contributions will be
received before the fund closes.
Mr.. Vanderlip, who has taken special in
terest in the Dewey Home Fund, ex-
pressed the opinion last evening that a
respectable sum would be raised for the
home. One thing that has acted as a
damper to the movement was the erroneous
impression given circulation by some pa
pers that the proposition was distasteful to
Admiral Dewey. On the contrary definite
Information has been received by the COM
mittee that Admiral Dewey has expressed
his appreciation OF the idea and the move
ment has met with his full approval Ii is
this knowledge that has caused the sudden
enthusiasm among the contributors. Among
the contributors to the fund who sent
checks yesterday are: ]. and w. Seligman
& Co., New York, $1,000; Senator w. A.
Clark of Montana, $1,000; II. M. Flagler,
$1,000: Baldwin Locomotive Works. $500;

Capt. c. D. Sigsbee, late in command of
the battleship Maine, died suddenly at the
summer house of her aunt, Mrs Caroline
Rittenhouse, at Rehoboth, about 10 o'clock

ular disease OF the heart. Miss Sigsbee
came to Rehoboth about two weeks ago
for her health, and was getting along so
well that the family had determined to va
cate their summer house and return TO
Washington today, but late last evening
she was taken violently i'll, and Dr. Kit
finger, of Wilmington, who had been at
tending her, was called in, but all efforts
to relieve her failed.
She suffered terribly throughout the
night. experiencing great difficulty in
breathing, and died about 10 o'clock this
morning. She was a beautiful and affec-
tionate child. and her sudden death will
be heartbreaking blow to her parents

THE TOBACCO TRUST SCORED.
Testimony Concerning 1T Before the
Industrial Commission.

After a short session yesterday, in which
testimony was heard on the tobacco in
lustry, the Industrial Commission took a
recess until October g. No more witnesses
will be heard until October 5. E. Lewis
Evans, of Louisville, KY, Secretary Of the
Tobacco Workers National Union, gave
the Commission information yesterday
regarding that industry and the organiza-
ton of the workers therein. The Tobacco
Workers Union is composed of 1000 men,
bers, who handle the weed in every form
except cigars cigarettes, and snuff. About
half OF the members are females, and the
union is affiliated with the Federation of
Labor. The union is rapidly spreading in
all directions from Louisville, which is its
headquarters, and includes in its member
ship both white and colored workmen.
Mr. Evans declared that the trusts and
combines have hurt the tobacco business,
and that the present era or prosperity has
not been felt among the plug tobacco
workers, although it has somewhat bene-
flied the market for smoking goods. The
tobacco trade in this country is controlled
by the American and Continental COM
panies, affiliated concerns, which handle
at least so per cent Of the output These
companies have gradually absorbed the
smaller concerns, and large number of
the workers have been thrown out of en-
ployment.
Mr.. Evans had no remedial legislation to
recommend, but was positive that trusts
and combinations should receive attention
at the hands of the lawmakers.

requisition will be sent to the Bureau OF
Engraving and Printing. The demand Is

INSPECTION OF TROOPS.
New Orders Issued by the Secretary
of War.

Secretary Root has determined upon
thorough inspection of all of the volunteer
regiments now being organized and of the
transports to leave San Francisco with
the troops for the Philippines. Seine
months ago the question was raised as to
whether the Inspector General of the Army
had authority to direct inspections OF the
transport service by inspectors general, and
Secretary Alger ruled that as the transports
were being inspected by officers OF the
transport service there was no necessity
for inspections by inspectors general. When
Secretary Root came into office this ques-
ton was brought to his attention with the
result that the following telegram has just
been sent General Shafter at San Fran
cisco by the Adjutant Generals Office IN
the War Department;
Having reference to previous instructions on
the subject, the Secretary Of War enioins upon
YOU the Importance of careful inspection, under
your special directions, in addition 10 that made
by officers of the transport service, OF all shlpS
including hospital ships, on which troops are 10
embark that you should in this way fully satisfy
yourself that the best possible service in the
way OF transportation is being had.
Although no reference is made in the
telegram to the inspectors general it is
understood that the inspections are to be
made by an officer of the Inspector Cen
erals department now stationed at San
Francisco. In conformity with former or
ders directing the inspection of the first
ten volunteer regiments, the following let
ter signed by Major H. o. A. Heistand,
Assistant Adiutant General, has been sent
to General Merritt, commanding the De-
partment of the East:
~, Al,
new infantry regiments be carefully inspected un-
der the direction OF department commanders, the
Major General Commanding the Army desires that
YOU cause such inspections to be made at the
earliest practicable date OF the Forty-firSt and
Forty-seyenth Volunteer Infantry, now stationed
at Camp Meade. Mddleburg, Pa; Forty-second
Volunteers, at Fort Niagara; Forty-third Volun-
teers Fort Ethan Allen, Vt; Forty-sixth Volun-
teers South Farningham, Mass. report of the
result of such inspections in detail to be sub

The Anglo-AustraIinn to Carry
TroOps to the TransyaaI

Owing to a demand of the British Gov
ernment the owners of the transport An

Francisco, secured an option on the Anglo

A request has just been received by the

lamped, automatic -braked, downy- cushion

modest is the request that the Secretary

Army regulations require that an officer
shall furnish his own mount, which the
Governments will forage, but at department
headquarters spring wagons and buck
boards are sometimes furnished to fetch
the mails and do errands of various kinds
on Government business. When General
Shafter, however began to increase SO
wonderfully in girth that horseback rid
ing ceased to be pleasure with him, his
friends in the department persuaded the
officials to allow him a blackboard and a
team of horses for his personal use, and
the granting of this request furnished a

"Well. look at that pair Of princesses. v
One of his royal sisters, evidently dread
fully hot and sleepy, was sprawling over
her desk in a very degage attitude, while
the other, apparently unable to solve Il
difficult problem, was absently rubbing
her eyes and looking dazc1 meanwhile.
His majesty tugCed the hair of one and
pinched the arm of another princess,

terms Of sstcrly reprobation.
There are distinguished manners and
grace of speech for you" he exclaimed,
regarding triumphantly the tutor.-Lon-

Washington, Oct. 7.-Admiral Dewey
has elected to accept a house in
Washington, already constructed. In
stead Of having one built for his &C.
cupation. At the meeting Of the Dew
ey home fund committee yesterday he
frankly expressed his qualification at
the tender, which he Immediately ac-
cepted. He said had the proposed
home been the gift Of few wealthy
men he should feel indisposed to &C.
cept. But he noted tt.t the fund had
over 1000 subscriber indicating that
the home was to he really the gift Of
the American people, and as such he
would accept 1t with as much pleasure
as he had the sword bestowed upon
him by congress.
The admiral showed a decided pref
erence for the section in which he had
made his home during his former de-
tails of duty in Washington. He
wished the house to be located in the
northwest section. somewhere west Of
Sixteenth street, and not too far north.
First of all, he wanted the house at
the earliest possible moment. so that
he might "go in and hang up his hat
at once" as he put It, OF course, that
precluded the idea Of erecting house
to meet his special needs. He express
ed his ideas as to the character of the
home he desires, and asked mat the
house be modest enough in appoint
ments and cost to permit Of the re-
tention of q sufficient sum of money
from the purchase fund to dsfray the
expenses of furnishing it.
