sumers and there has been little or no op-
! position TO its existence. The subcommis-
sion, however, in pursuance of the policy
adopted by the whole commission, will ex-
anime both the good and bad sides of COM
bines and intends to investigate its meth
DDS. Aside from the trust investigation,
the conditions existing among the textile
manufacturers Will be thoroughly looked
into.
The subcommission on agriculture has
changed its original plans and will not
commence its Investigations regarding the
| grain elevator trust of the Northwest in
the States of Minnesota and North and
South Dakota, but Will. in all probability,
hold preliminary meeting in Chicago
within short time, to determine whether
! Investigations shall be commenced in Chi
cago or Cleveland. 1t has been definitely
determined to commence the taking of tes-
timony on the first of August but the
place will be decided upon at the coming
meeting in Chicago. 1t is very probable
that the subcommission will visit the great
wheat at-growing States before it finishes its
labors.
1t was announced some time ago that the
agricultural trusts of California would be
investigated through the medium of a spe-
cial agent. 1t is the intention of the Com
mission to investigate the farming condi-
tions in Washington and Oregon in addi-
ton to its California enquiry. This work
will be performed by agents. The raisin
combine of California has been a special
object OF attack on the part of vineyard
proprietors. 1t is claimed that its opera
tions are very oppressive to the small
grower who is not allied with the trust.

TO ABANDON RECEIVING SHIPS
Shore Quarters to BE Substituted fol
American Naval Recruits.

Shore Quarters to BE Substituted for
American Naval Recruits.
Capt A. S. Growninshield, Chief of the
Bureau of Navigation, will go to England
next month, under instructions from the
Secretary of the Navy, to inspect barracks
at English naval stations for the purpose
of securing information that will enable
the United States Government to construct
shore quarters for naval recruits.
The Navy Department has practically
decided to abandon the use of the
receiving ships for sailors awaiting as
signment to vessels on sea duty. This
system has been in vogue for great num-
Der of years. 1t has given rise to much
dissatisfaction, however, on account of its
expense and the discomforts which have
attended the life of those living aboard the
receiving ships. When men are enlisted
for the naval service, they are sent to
these vessels, and kept there until they
are needed on sea-going warships. The
quarters are cramped on nearly every ves-
sci, and the Navy Department has come
to the conclusion that it will be better for
the health of the men, more comfortable,
and more economical to quarter them in
barracks. On each receiving ship it is
necessary to keep number of officers and
a good-sized crew OF experienced sailors.
This, however, will be done away with
when barracks are built. The English
naval barracks are the finest in the world,
and Captain Crowninshield will confina
his observations to that country alone.

KILLED BY THE HICCoUGHs.
War Veteran Thomas Walsh Sue.

cumbs to Its Influence.
New York. July 12.-Thomas Walsh,
sixty-five years old, and veteran Of two
wars, died from hiccoughs in Bellevue Hos
pital at 6 o'clock last night He had suf-
fered necessarily for six days There was
little change In his condition toward the
end. death resulting from exhaustion caus-
ed by his affiietion more than from any
other cause.
Walsh lived at No. 237 East Eighty fifth
Street. He was sunstruck on July last
and next day the hiccoughing began. The
attack was not especially troublesome at
first, and it was not until July Z that ne
went to Bellevue. The disease by that
time had progressed so far that the hic-
coughs continued necessarily while the pa
tient was awake.
Every medicine known 10 science for the
treatment of hiccoUghs was tried on the
aged patient, but without any permanent
good effect. The hiccoughs continued at
the rate of from twenty to thirty minute
hour after hour
Many experiments were tried in the hope
of checking the disease. The tongue OF the
patient was drawn out of the mouth and
bound in that position. This afforded him
as much relief as anything that was done.
Ice was applied to the back of his neck.
A current OF electricity was applied over
the muscles of the diaphragm. Some OF
| the physisians who believe in hypnotic sug-
gestions in certain cases, tried them On
Walsh, but vainly. He grew gradually
weaker and died just before o'clock
During the first few days he was in the
hospital Walsh could converse little at
times. He told the doctors that he was a
veteran of the Crimean war and also of the
American civil war. He gave his occupa-
ton as that of a packer

The outline of the plan of enquiry to be
pursued by the several subcommissions OF
the Industrial Commission during the re-
malnder Of July and throughout August
IS nearly completed, although there are
several minor details yet TO be attended
10 which may be changed before the actual
work of investigation commences.
Today the subcommission on mining
began taking testimony in Denver. Col,
and will continue its work in that city
and the large mining centres of the West
until about the LIST of September. The
members of the mining subcommi3sion
have been in Denver several days and the
work OF deciding upon witnesses has pro-
Eressed far enough SO that the taking of
testimony will commence as scheduled
some time ago.
Within the past few days the subcom-
mission on manufacturing. which will visit
the New England States during the month
OF August, has decided to carry on a trust
Investigation in a small way, in addition
TO the work of taking testimony relative
TO general manufacturing conditions. The
subcommission Will meet for the first time
in Boston on the 18th of August, in the
Offices OF the Home Market Club.
The so-called paper and envelope trust,
concerning which there has been more or
less complaint from the small manufact-
urers of the New England States, will form
one of the subjects Of investigation by the
subconmission. Owing to the intricacies
Of the paper manufacturing business, IL
has been considered impossible TO combine
the interests of the industry, but an organ
ization Of the paper manufacturers has
been formed from time to time TO regu-
late the output and price. The trust has
passed through many vicissitudes. but late
ly seems to have gotten on its feet and
just now has the situation SO well in hand
that some of the smaller manufacturers in
that line think they have Just reasons for
complaining. The trust, IL is said, has not
yet assumed very alarming proportions, but
will nevertheless be made the subject OF
enquiry.
The manufacturers of cotton yarn goods
have reached an understanding in the mat
ter OF prices. IL is reported and output
which practically amounts to a trust, al
though there is no definite oranization
The combination. il is said. has proven Of

Multitudes of Dead Fish Cast Up.

Charlotte, N. Y, July 1.-THE cottagers
along Lake Ontario between here and So
dus have, it is estimated buried hundreds
of tons Of dead fish cast up by the waves
already this season. The fish resemble
very closely the salt water herring. AS a
result of this resemblance some persons
have advanced the theory that the fish are
herring that have ascended the ST. Law
renee River and have been unable to live
in the fresh waters. Others think the fish
are fresh water herring and that they
have been killed by the rigors of winter
Or by some parasite. third theory is
that the authorities in stocking Lake On
tario with white fish made a mistake and
instead put in some spawn of q saltwater
fish, either alewives or herring, and that
these fish lived and bred, but were soon
killed of by the fresh water. =,

political mission that brought him East.
Mr.. Stones trip to New York at this par
ticular time, just on the eve of singularly
critical and important meeting of the Ma
tional Democratic Committee, was. it may
now be stated, twofold in purpose. The
first and principal object, 1t is declared.
was to complete fund for starting a new
free silver daily paper in Chicago and Incl
dentally to take stock of the anti Bryan
sentiment in this State so as TO report at
the meeting in Chicago next week.
After declaring that his visit TO New
York related solely 10 business matters the
former governor was asked if it was true
that he had been consulting with New
York Democrats OF means with a view TO
raising money for a new daily paper to
support silver and other Democratic doc
trines. II do not hesitate to say" he re-
piled earnestly that If I had the money
myself or could raise it or cause il TO be
raised, l would start such a paper in Chi
cago l think there should be one

cratic paper in Chicago and there is a great
field there for one. Besides, the people OF
Chicago, irrespective of party, would appre-
ciate a live newspaper conducted in the
interest Of the city The newspapers of
Chicago now are practically conducted IN
der one management and they all shout for
the same thing, good or bad. The news
paper readers of Chicago are tired Of that
sort of thing and they would make real

1t is said that s250,0 has been raised TO
launch the new Chicago daily and that

Must Have Fair Play,

Gray, W. Va, July 12.-Elias Hatfield.
who killed doc" Ellis on Norfolk and
Western train here July 8, surrendered to
Governor Atkinson yesterday. Hatfield

The governor and guards arrived here
and had only little while to wait. Hat
field was seen crossing Tug river from Ken
lucky, and in few minutes approached

delivered himself up. Ellis friends are
very bitter, and number of them met

defence. The party left for Huntington,
where he was taken for protection.

dissection was done amid the howls and
yelps of the dog. Some of the pupils were
highly indignant at the exhibition, and

GUNS FOR TRANSPORTS
Sixteen Rifles to Be Installed on
Philippine Troopships

The Navy Department has consented to
turn over TO the Ordnance Bureau OF the
army sixteen 6-pounder rifles, for use on
army transports engaged in carrying
troops TO and from the Philippines.
There has been great deal OF comment
in military circles over the fact that troop
ships were entirely without armament
and recently the War Department asked
the Navy Department for the sixteen ri
hes, which have now been promised.
1t was said today by army officers that if
the Filipinos had been enterprising
enough to mount on ship some of the
guns they took from the Spanish gunboats
at Zamboango, they might have captured
or destroyed some of the American army
transports. One officer limited that word had
been received that the Fiipinos were arm
ing some vessels, and that this was the
real reason why army transports were to
have modern rifles.

A Denial of the Report That She r.
to Reside I'm Vermont
Richmond, Va, July 12-The statement
by Mississippi papers that Mrs. Jefferson
Davis has taken up her permanent abode
in Vermont is stated upon good authority
to be mistake. The fact, however, that
the widow of the President Of the Confed-
eracy has spent so little of her time in the
South is admittedly an obstacle in the way
OF obtaining contributions in the South to
the monument which is to be erected here
to the President of the Confederacy.
Mrs. Davis friends here insist that her
stay in Vermont is only temporary. and
that she has lived in the North because it
afforded herself and Miss Winnie Davis a
better opportunity to supervise the publi
cations in which they were interested. Mrs.
Davis. it is insisted by her Richmond
friends, has never failed to manifest her
loyalty for the South,
