NAVAL VETERANS SPLIT
Divide on Question of Ad-
hitting Spanish War
Sailors.

Philadelphia, Sept. 6-There were
lively times at today's session of the
14th annual convention of the National
Association of Naval Veterans. A res
olution providing for the admission to
participants in the Spanish war in the
membership of the association started
a rumpus and the result is that there
is now split in the organization.
The leader of the forces in favor of
the proposition was First Rear Admiral
B. S. Osbon of Farragut Association,
New York city. He delivered a pas
sionate address, in which he said that
the Naval Veterans Association should
be pcrpetuated by admitting the men
of the late war.
Surgeon A. Trego Shertzer of Balti-
more maintained that the. association
was organized for the sailors of the
civil war only. and that it should die
with them. A number of speeches were
made, and the vote on the resolution
was Overwhelmingly against admitting
the men of the late war.
When the result was announced
the Farragut delegates from New York
and the delegates from the Admiral
Boggs Association of Newark, N. j.,
tention to start an organization to be
known as the United States Naval Vet
Grams, and their headquarters will like
~ be in New York. The boilers claim
that they will get nearly 200 members
from the Naval Veterans Association,
and win take in all those who were in
the late war

SIX THOUSAND TROOPS.
Outside States Eager to Send Their
Quota to Meet Dewey,

New York Sept. 6.-The plan and scope
committee of the Dewey reception COM
mittee met today. Gen. Roe, who has
charge of the land parade said he had re-
ceived applications for places in the line
from about 5000 soldiers from other states
He read this list;
Five companies from the District of
Columbia, eight from Texas, one from
jackson, Miss, two battalions from
Georgia, brigade from Rhode Island,
one company from South Carolina, a bat
.tery from South Carolina, two companies
from Mississippi rifles and six companies
from Pennsylvania and brigade of 800
men from New Hampshire. Other states
not yet heard from, Gen. Roe said, would
probably bring the total to at least 10000
men.
Gen. Carroll of the committee on naval
parade said that arrangements were so
far advanced that he could announce that
there would be at least $50 boats in line
behind the ships of war. The committee
on stands reported that arrangements had
been made to erect stands to accommo-
date about rs, coo persons. Comptroller
Coler reported that ii was legal to give
each regiment commander money for sub
sistence for the men. 1t will save the
trouble of making contracts with caterers,
and is likely to give greater satisfaction
to the men.

regarded other than as blot upon the
reputation of Gen. Zurlinden, and still
more of the general staff
Then the statement of M. Paleolpgue,.
that Col. Schwartzkoppen had admitted
that 1t was almost certain that the
petit bleu was sent by him, or caused
to be sent by him, to Esterhazy, caused
a sensation, as being the first official
testimony to the treason of Esterhazy.
And it was certainly a strong point in
favor of Dreyfus, the Importance Of
which was Immediately seized by the
prosecution.
From spectacular viewpoint, how
ever, the great event of the sitting was
the battle royal between Maitre, Labor
and Col. Jouaust over certain questions
which the advocate wished to put to
Gen. Billot. Maitre Labor lost control
of his temper, and with deep feeling Of
indignation, stated his belief that Jou-
aust was deliberately gagging him in
the interests of the prosecution in tones
which resounded through the room The
spectators held their breaths as he re-
torted defiantly to Col. Jouaust's re-
fusal to put the question, his words
drowning Jouaust's voice in an irresis-
tihle torrent, where force was hurled by
his passionate gestures.

commanded by Col. Edmund S. Rice, to-
day. from Plattsburg, N. Y, on its way
TO the Philippines, proved one of the
greatest sensations as well as attrac-
TONS that the city has experienced for
many years. Even the hone-c coming of
the Sixth Massachusetts last fall was
eclipsed by the large and enthusiastic
reception accorded the brave men who
have volunteered for two years service
on the opposite side of the globe.
Although the regiment was several
hours behind the time announced for
its arrival, thousands of people were
content to wait on the streets all day for
glimpse at the men as they marched
to the inspiring tunes of two bands.
The soldiers came On trains made IN
entirely of sleepers, the officers occu-
plying palace cars and the men the
regular tourist coaches, each man hav-
ing berth to himself. 1t was 4 o'clock
this afternoon when the entire regj
noun
later the march was begun. The route
was through the business section of the
city, with the usual march up State
street, through Newspaper row, up
School street by the city hall, where the
men were reviewed by Mayor Quincy.
and finally past the state house, where
Gov. Wolcott was accorded a marching
salute as he stood on the historic steps
of the state house, surrounded by his
staff and backed by multitude of
many thousands.
The men We're frequently cheered, es-
pecially at the city hail and state house
where, naturally, they made their best
appearance. Pursuing its way down
Beacon street, the regiment swung into
the common and finally rested in col
umn of battalions on the parade ground,
with Mayor Quincy ard other city Off
Gals at the reviewing point.
After a breathing spell of 20 minutes
the regiment was again put in motion
by a sharp, quick command, and the
formal review began The line formed
in columns of platoons and the march
was one Of the best ever seen on the
common. After the review the regi-
ment again formed in battalions and
stood very steadily as Mayor Quincy,
accompanied py Col. Rice, made the in
spection.
This closed the exercises of the day
end the regiment marched back 70
Charlestowl TO their cars for the night.
Tomorrow noon the officers will be
lunched by the mayor, snd in the after
noon there will be an exhibition drill on
the common, followed by a ball in Me-
chanics hall given to the men by the
city.

oils, Minneapolis and Reading, Pa.
The combined purchasing power of
the syndicate is over $15,OOOOOO a year
and it has head office in New York,
with branches or agents in all the large
cities in Europe. This tremendous bust
ness has been conducted since its incep-
ton under the direction of Mr.. Brown,
who has remained president since the
organization was formed.
He has been connected with the form
alton and conduct of many of the large
stores of the country, and has finan-

has large circle of friends, and was
a most delightful entertainer and liber-
al patron of innocent amusement. His
marvellous ability, which made him
more closely identified with the retail
dry goods trade of the United States
than any other individual, manifested
itself in private life in personal mag
netism, which enabled him to make
friends and retain them. He was be-
loved by the employees of the Boston
store, who will mourn his death as they
would that of close friend

HIS CHARGES
c. E. Bentheim Swears That
Consul Florschuetz Was
a German Agent.

Atlanta, Ga, Sept. 6.-Charles E
Bentheim today reiterated to the rep
reseutative of the Associated Press the
absolute truth of his statement involv-
ing Vice Consul Florschuetz in the
German secret service work between
Paris and Berlin.
"Of course Florschuetz will deny
this" said Bentheim, but it can easily
be fastened upon him. The point is to
inquire in the right line. There is nc
use going to Florschuetz about this
thing. He will naturally deny it, and
the rage of the Germans will turn on
us. If Florscheutz denies his connec-
ton with this matter let this question
be put to him:
For what purpose did Florschuetz
hand over to me (Bentheim) q money
order calling for 100000 marks, signed
by the emperor? What the secretary
of state says about the vice consul be-
ginning in 1883 is correct. The German
government wanted him, but this posi-
ton he was not allowed to fill because
he was German. 1 do not know pos
itively that he was a cashier of the
bank at Sonneberg. He was a director;
Franz was a director and his bank

be willing to respectfully submit to the
honorable secretary of state the direc.
ton in which 20 look for convincing
evidence of all that 1 charge. l say
again:
'Florscheutz was using his officia
position as vice and deputy counsel tt

tanning information from France"
He placed his services at the dis
posal of the German secret service, anf
between the years 1889 and 1894 he was
actually engaged as confidential agent
of the secret service. Let the secretary
request the American ambassador il
London to get permission, and GO
through the village of Holmroe and ex.
anime the postoffice records there which
are not destroyed. Evidence there is
in black and white, and will show this
truth of every assertion I have made
What course do you suggest for The
