Is Told of Preparations to Receive
Him In New York.
EXPRESSES HIS THANKS
DOES NOT KNOW WHEN HE WILL
REACH HOME.
Thinks, However, 1t Will Be About
the First of October-Will Make
Several Stops to Give His Men the
Rest and Recreation They Badly
Need.

New York, May pa dispatch to the
World from Hongkong says:
The World correspondent gave to Ad-
miral Dewey his first information that
the city of New York will expend S15O,-
600 and the state of New York $4,000
in giving a fitting welcome home to the
hero of Manila bay. The admiral SAID:
II am amused by such lavish prepa-
rations.' Then he added: Il wish the
World would convey to the public my
grateful thanks"
The admiral's itinerary after leaving
Hongkong is indefinite The repairs to
his flagship, the Olympia, will be nm
ished in about a week, he expects.
When they are done to his satisfaction
he will sail for New York. Regarding
his homeward voyage, he told the cor
respondent:
Il cannot say definitely when we shall
reach. but probably it will be about the
1st of October.
1.-The navy department very kindly
has permitted me to select my own
route and take sny own time
LAS the officers and men OF the Olym-
pia have been in Manila bay Tor more
than a year with no recreation, they
deserve consideration. So l shall pro-
coed toward home leisurely, staying a
while at various places, in order to give
the men some merited recreation"
When Admiral Dewey arrived in
Hongkong it cost him an effort to even
write a letter. But the cool air of the
peak district has acted like wonderful
tonic and he has recuperated rapidly.
He walks out every evening with
United States Consul General Wildman.
There is no doubt of his complete re-
covery ultimately. While he remains
here he will live in comparative quiet.
He is constantly declining the invita-
lions of his large number of callers.
His presence has aroused all classes
to a high pitch of enthusiasm and nu-
merous banquets have been rendered
him by the governor of Hongkong, all
the official bodies. the boards of trade,
the Hongkong club and many 1ndividu-
ais. The admiral probably will dine at
the Hongkong club with Consul Wild
man and with the governor, if his
health permits.

pathetic that he inclosed them money
in another envelope and forwarded
them to the address given. Almost a
score of such letters, which had been
re-addressed in the defendants own
handwriting, We're offered in evidence
at the hearing. Washburn acknowl-
edged further that he greatly enjoyed
reading the love letters and others of
a touching nature. This form of
mania, he said. had continued for over
eighteen months.
Although it may be true that Wash
burn stole no more than 5000, the
postal authorities claim that he des-
troyed drafts and checks amounting to
several times that sum. While he may
have secured money and money orders,
which when converted into cash
amounted to $4,000 or $4,000 and may
have returned to needy persons an
amount reaching $40. 600. it is estimated
that he destroyed commercial paper
representing thousands of dollars. On
April ! of this year the government
abolished the system of waving identi-
fication of the signatures on the back
of money orders. Consequently since
April 1. Washburn has not carried on
a thriving business. Prior to that time
it is estimated that in six cases of ev-
cry ten, identification was waived on
money orders.

THE LAST OF THE ASSEMBLY
PRESBYTERIAN DELEGATES
LEAVE FOR HOME.
Declare That the Session Was Very
Harmonious One Despite the Nc
Giffert Heresy Incident.

Minneapolis, Mimi, May 27.-Singing
Blessed the Tie That Binds the one
hundred and eleventh annual assembly
of the Presbyterian church adjourned
early this afternoon to meet next year
in ST. Louis The song was peculiarly
appropriate for the termination of this
assembly. which has been on the whole
a very harmonious one.
The McGiffert contest was sometimes
acrid, but fully 50 per cent of the mem
bers of the assembly will go to their
homes rejoicing over what they con-
slider the wise and magnanimous deci-
sion arrived at in the matter of Nc
Giffert's heresy.
The assembly has disposed of an i'm
mense amount of business and much
of it is of a very important nature.
Only one overture is to be sent down
from the assembly TO be passed upon
by the 229 Presbyteries, and that is a
proposition TO substitute an entirely
new chapter for chapter Is of the Book
of Discipline
The last hours of the assembly were
packed with statistics and facts about
the church. The accounts of the trus-
tees of the church showed $40. 447 in
their hands, an increase of S126,i53
since a year ago. 1t was considered
that the church was prosperous enough
to increase the salary of the assembly's
stated clerk, the Rev. w. III. Robins of
Philadelphia, from $1,000 to $4,000.
There are connected with the various
churches 3,71S Christian Endeavor So
cieties, besides a large number of other
societies for young people.

NO MATCH FOR YALE.
Naval Cadets Beaten In the Boat
Race Yesterday.

Annapolis, Md, May 27.-The crew of
Yale UNIVERSITIES eight-oared shell out
rowed the naval cadets today over a
two-mile straightaway course and
crossed the line eleven and one-half
seconds ahead of the middies. The con-
test was over the inside course on the
Severn.
Both crews took the water well at
the sound of the pistol and got away to-
gether. The superior weight and bet
ter training of the New Haven boys
soon demonstrated their superiority,
and the visitors steadily increased their
lead to the finish. Once or twice Su-
perintendent Cannon of Annapolis tried
to urge his men, but the Connecticut
boys as often nobly responded to their
captains command and the advantage
gained at the start was gradually in
creased. Yale crossed the line in 10
minutes and % seconds, with the cadets
eleven and one-half seconds and several
lengths astern.

Verdict of Jury In Pennsylvania
Railroad Disaster.

Norristown, Pa, May 27.-The Nor
ristown and Pottsville juries, which
have been jointly investigating the
cause of the fatal wreck on the Read
ing railway at Exeter, today rendered
a verdict holding the Reading railway
company primarily responsible for the
accident, which resulted in the loss of
twenty nine lives and injuries to over
fifty persons The jury held the ac-
cident was due to the following causes:
Having never established a modern
and adequate system of communica-
ton between signal stations and the
main office; dispatching trains at too
short intervals; falling to provide a
sight and color test at least once
year for employees required to dis
tinguish colors on signal boards at
distance: for failure 10 require signal
tower and crossing watchmen to have
accurate timepieces.
The jury also finds that mistakes
were made by employees of the COM
pany concerned in the running Of both
sections of train No. 2 on the night of
the accident but were insufficient to
have caused the collision. had proper
system of signals been in use.

Chicago, May 27.-The Chronicle
says:
An innate desire to investigate the
written contents of letters intrusted to
his care as baggage man of a Michigan
Central train running between Chicago
and Grand Rapids, was the cause of
the downfall of l.. n. Washburn. who
is now in the custody of the United
States postal authorities, charged with
robbing mail sacks of portions of their
contents. Such is the reason he him.
self gives.
The prisoner has been in the employ
of the Michigan Central company for
eighteen years and was regarded as a
trustworthy and expert baggageman.
He has made his home in New Buffalo.
and is said to be the only support of
two elderly sisters. He was given a
hearing before United States Commits
sioner Mason, and after admitting his
guilt, was held to appear before the
federal grand jury in bonds to the
amount of $500. Being unable to
furnish sureties to this amount, he was
given into the custody of the United
States marshal and locked up in the
county jail. There he will remain until
fall at least, as he was held to the
October grand jury.
Opened 10000 Letters.
1t is estimated by Major Stewart.
postal inspector and his assistants that
Washburn opened fully 10000 letters
during his trips from Chicago and
Grand Rapis since October, 1897. He
claims that he did not profit in a
financial way through his misdeeds, but
was prompted by an uncomfortable de-
sire to read the contents of every letter
given into his charge. He says his
stealings in money will not exceed 5000.
but this portion of his confession is
doubted by the postal authorities, who
claim to be certain that Washburn
rified letters containing 81 in two days,
in addition to s12 in marked bills which
were found in his possession at the time
of the arrest.
The prisoner was most submissive
when taken before the United States
commissioner When the postal Of
ficials had finished relating the details
of his arrest and the methods to
which he had resorted to take the let
tiers from the bags, he admitted every
thing and asked to be sent to the peni-

confession which was offered in evil
dence, but not made public. the
prisoner admitted that he had removed
a lock from one of the pouches and
had a duplicate key, made in a black
smiths shop.

War Department Figures On Re-
turn of Volunteers.
ARE PLENTY OF REGULARS
PHILIPPINE NEWS HELPS
PEACE JUBILEE.
The Department of Agriculture
Makes Report of the Losses of
Farm Animals In the Rocky
Mountain States For the Year
Ending April /.
Csnecial CorrespondenceN


Washington, May 23.-The opinion is
now expressed at the war department
that the mountain state volunteers will
all be at home by the 1st of July. 1t is
regarded as certain that before that
time the Aguinaldo insurrection will
either have dwindled to brigandage or
been utterly suppressed. Under these
circumstances it will be quite unneces-
sary TO retain the volunteers pending
of regulars now bound 10 or under or
ders for the Philippines.
The news from the American East In
dies which came this week was very
opportune, in view of the big peace
jubilee in progress here. The jubilee
would have been a decided misfit if
big battle had occurred in the Philip
pines while it was still in progress. 1t
is no secret that the managers of the
event, all pushing local business men,
were very much concerned for fear that
this might happen just in time to great
ly disturb the gaiety of the occasion.
Some politicians who are close to the
administration have also shared in the
impression that it would strike the peo-
pie as singular that gaily-caparisoned
peace was parading past the White
House while grim war was still per-
forming in the far east.
Losses of Farm Animals.
The department of agriculture has
made report on the losses of farm
animals during the year ending April l.
The report says:
The estimated percentage of mortal
lty among farm animals, swine except
ed, was higher during the twelve
months than for many years past The
total loss from exposure and disease
was over 100000 head of which swine
constituted 41.9 per cent. sheep 292 per
cent, cattle 24.1 per cent and horses AZ
per cent. The losses of swine and horses
were practically all from disease, but
in. the case of cattle and sheep the loss
from disease was considerably less than
than from exposure.
'-On the basis of the average values.
the estimated loss from exposure ag-
gregated about SOC, 900 900, and that from
disease about $4,000 600, or total of
Sl5,O00.O 900, five-sixths of which NAV be
said to be theoretically preyentable.
The estimated percentage of loss in
horses, 2.3, is slightly higher than in
any previous year for which figures are
available. The estimated loss of horses
from disease for the whole country in
1898 is 219,314. The following are the
hgufes for the Rocky Mountain states:
