A CLAMOR
Greeted the "City of Pittsburg" on
Her Arrival at Wheeling.

The steamer City of Pittsburg
steamed slowly up the stream, and
when her bow showed around the bend
at the Belmont mil, there wasa footing
of the whistles of all the boats moored
at the public landing, in which a pass
ing towboat also joined. 1t was a
friendly reception to the new river
queen, and she bore her honors very
modestly. The geAAral din which was
created by ,dhe sGrssching of the
whistles brought fully 1000 people to
the wharf, and when the boat landed
the Wheeling people fairly swarmed
through the cabin and on the decks,
and inspected the palatial craft in ev-
cry point. Captain Dana Scott show
ed every possible courtesy to the vlsi-
tors, and members of the boats crew
took pleasure in dilating upon the good
points in its construction and equip
ment. The boat remained a, he wharf
until all had inspected her, and then
pulled out for Pittsburg and way land
ings. Meanwhile wharfmaster John
Crockard answered telephone inquiries
from Steubenville, East Liverpool, and
other cities relative to the time of ar
rival of the steamer.
The crew of the City of Pittsburg is
as follows: Capt. John M. Phillips,
master; Capt Dana Scott, purserS a.
l.. Voeghtly and o. D. Philips, clerks;
s. Kennard and e. Berry engineers;
M. McCright and w. Hynes, strikers;
w. Stepleton and M. Huffman, mates;
]. Crawford, watchman; j. Sanford
E d W. Brookhardt, pilots; B. Baker
and F. wilkins, carpenters; w. Bohl-
myer and w. Garrison, stewards; M.
Morrow, chief fireman; Hartley, sailor
man. These are all well known river
men, and those who are familiar with
steamboat traffic on the Ohio river will
recognize the fact tnat the crew is one
of the most capable that could be Sc
lected.

In An Air-iight Cell is This Man
Locked for the Sake of Science.

Middletown, Conn, March 21.-Emil
0sterberg has finished his term of ban
lshment from home and al. nat makes
men willing to live, and at 10 o'clock
tonight he emerged from the respira-
tion calorimeter In which he has spent
the last ten days.
In this cage of glass and wood and
iron he has lived 240 hours, cut off
from all his usual activities and en-
ployments and communicating with
mankind only through telephone and
by signs through the pane of glass
that is let into one side of his air-tight
Theoretically sealed cell .-.i s
Yet he was all this time happy and
contented He has gained flesh under
the regimen to which he was subjected
and is in better condition than after
previous experiments. he came out of
his aseptic, non-bacillo cell as cheer
fully as a bear emerging from his an
nual Information. Osterberg is a So
cial martyr to science. That is his
business. He earns his living at it.
The people Of the United States and
the commonwealth of Connecticut pay
him fair wage, in return for which
he frequently undergoes the pains of
seclusion from society for ten days at
time.
So far as food, sleep and warmth,
exercise and generally bodily comfort
are concerned, he is happy. His mar
tyrdom consists in existing for ten
days at a time absolutely cut off from
his customary daily routine. The Or
dinary citizen would be bored to death.

Osterberg is neither nervous nor Or
binary. He has nerves of lead. 4i
When he stepped out QfBthe cage to-
night he summea up the (hapes, fears,
aspirat ons desires, plans o., the last
tan days by saying:
"Vel, tlnk go home now and take
a goot bath"
Osterberg is 35 years old, 8 feet 10
inches tall, weighs ITS pounds, blue
eyed, fair haired and with a Dlonde
mustache. He is as Unconditional as a
cargo of fireproof brick.
The idea of the experiments is to
take an average, normal man, put him
in position that cuts him off from
all influences save those due to effort
which can be absolutely controlled by
the experimenters, and then feed him
make him do certain work and observe
with mathematical measurements the
eeitct of certain foods enabling him tC
do the appointed work.
This time Osterberg has been tried
on food rich with sugar and starch

Using Poisoned Bullets.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-Reports re-
'eived at the war department show
that Aguinaldo's army is using BRASS
tipped bullets, causing wounds that
are difficult to heal. Their action in
this respect, officials say, is another in
dication of their utter unfitness for,
self-government.

Beers are Defiant.

ioy!h y, s5ei I. l5.-The consul gen.
elai oI the SCUM African republic. Mr..
Montague White, said to reporter:
II Lave sood authority for believing
that the Iransyaal reply will be unsat-
istacIory to the British government.
A forecast of the first Transvaal re.
ply to the last note OF the British sec
retury OF state for the colonies, Mr..
Joseph Chamberlain, now under dis.
cussiOn in the vOlksraad, has been re-
ceived by MIR. Chamberlain, but its ma
ture is not yet known.
PRETORIA, Sept. 15.-It is understood
that the government will draw up the
reply in its first form today, and imme-
diately submit tine same to the vOlks-
raad.
The reply will be in terms strongly
influenced by the Orange Free State.
and among other features the mainte-
nance of the convention of 1884 will be
strongly asserted.
The situation is not considered so
favorable as it was during the forenoon.
LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Pretoria cor
respondent of The Times says:
''It is very doubtful whether an un-
qualified acceptance Of Great Britain s
demands will eo given.
The Paris correspondent OF The Times
says that NJ. Delcasse, the French for
eign minister, has directed the French
consul in the Transvaal to endeavor to
persuade President Kruger to accept
Mr.. Chamberlain promise.
The Pretoria correspondent Of The
Daily Telegraph says:
s'Ihe members of the yOlksraad re-
ceived Mr.. Chamberlain dispatch de-
family today (Thursday.) Individual
members declare that Great Britain
must moderate her demands.
"On the other hand, rumor is cur
rent that President Kruger favors conf
piunce, and even suggests that he de-
sires the irreconoilables to leave Pretoria
and consult their constituents, thereby
avoiding their opposition.
The Times publishes the following
from Johannesburg:
The mystery surrounding the atti-
tude OF the Orange Free state contin-
ues. President Steyn's silence is inter-
preted as showing an intention to sup
port the Transvaal through thick and
thin, though his influence at present is
on the side OF peace. Public feeling is
running very high and, unless Presi.
dent Kruger makes an emphatic an.
nouncement in favor of conciliation,
the great majority OF the Beers will in
evitably vote against any concessions
beyond seven years franchise"
