FIFTH ANNUAL RECEPTION.
Given by Court General Terry, r. OF A.,
Last Night.

|
The fifth annual concert and reception
of Court General Terry, No. 81, F. of
A., was given in Harmonic hall last
| night. The attendance was unusually
good and the dancing continued until
early morn. The grand march was led
by Chief Ranger Anthony Reinhardt
and Miss Belle Flynn. During the in
termission a splendid entertainment was
given by the talented Landrigan sisters.
The several hundred people present
watched the little tots in their graceful
movements executing many difficult fig
ures of fancy cake walk The little
ones are the daughters of Mr.. and Mrs.
J. ]. Landrigan of rs Bradley street,
leader of Landrigan's orchestra and
former leader Of I.andrigan's band.
They are Irene, aged six, and Lulu,
aged eight The elder one Lulu takes
the part Of the boy and is unusually
graceful in her movements. These chill
dren have delighted large audiences in
this city, having appeared before most
of the secret societies, and they have
always been the recipients of hearty en-
cores. The entertainment which they
give is refined in every particular and is
so decidedly novel and clever that they
win the admiration and praise of all
who see them.
Last night they held the undivided
attention of all those present and at the
close of their exhibition were compelled
to respond to vociferous encore. They
will on April and appear in enter
tainments to be given by Court Friendly
F. of A. in New Britain. The little ones
are to be the star feature of the enter
tainments.

"THE CRISIS or CHIMP
Lecture by the Rev. Judson Smith Mt
Marquand Chapel.

Rev. Judson Smith. D. D., Of Boston
secretary of the American Board O.
Foreign Missions, delivereSS a very in
teresting and instructive lecture on 9TH
Crisis in China" last night before 6
large and cultured audience at Mar.
quand chapel. He divided his subjec
into four divisions. The land of China
although pictured by those who have
not been there as level and monotonous
is on the contrary largely a broken
landscape. That such an erroneous i'm
preston should gain such credence is
due largely to the fact that many trav-
elers pass by the most interesting and
picturesque scenes. Rev. DR.. Smith
spent four months in China in the inter
ests of the American Board of Foreign
| Missions. The Chinese in this country
are not true representatives of the in
habitants of the Celestial kingdom. The
inhabitants of China are rather tall and
muscular, make fine appearance and
are indeed manly men. While not as
clever at invention and as quick to
grasp ideas as the Americans, they are
far from being dull and adapt them
selves to new conditions very easily.
The speaker informed his audience that
his mission to China was to examine
the work being done there by the
American Boards representatives. He
said that he found Christianity very
deeply rooted, far more deeply than is
supposed, and the converted Chinese are
devoted, very liberal and self denying in
behalf of the faith they have chosen.
In Foo Chow 1,7OO Christians are to
be found who last year gave on an aver
age four dollars apiece to the church.
This sum in American currency would
be considerably larger
The Chinese pastors, that is, the ma
tive pastors. are men of learning and
ability. The religious outlook in China
is very bright. In 1860 there were 1000
Christian Chinese; to-day there are one
hundred times that number. Every
seven years the number of converts is
nearly doubled.
Speaking Of the political situation, he
said that he is of the opinion that Rus
sia will not attempt the partition of
China for some time, seven years at
least. Russia has too much to do at
present to prepare for war. Were such
an attempt made England would inter-
fere and probably side with the Chinese.
Before the time allowed Russia for ac-
tion, China will surely be changed by
the progressiveness of the young em-
peror and a band of younger subjects
pledged to the reform movement Of their
master.
The emperor is not the vacilating
young man so commonly pictured, but
is one of the most radical and able re-
formers of modern times. The edicts
by him some time since
are indeed master pieces of diplomacy.
There are now 1000 youths pledged to
the reform movement of the emperor.
Great as China's past has BEEN still
greater future awaits her, future that
will be due to the reception of the civ
ilization of the occident by the inhabit-
ants of the fiowery kingdom.

EXTRA PAY TO SOLDIERS,
1t Was a Gratuity and Must Be Re-
cefved During Lifetime.

Mr.. Mitchell, the assistant controller of
the treasury, mas decided that the extra
pay granted by the act of March 8, 1899, to
officers and enlisted men of the temporary
force of the navy in the war with SPAIN is
a gratuity, and if not received by the Off
Ger or man in his lifetime, his heirs do not
become entitled to it on his death, nor does
1t become a part of his estate.
In the case of enlisted men of the army,
the assistant controller decides that the act
of March 3, 1889, does not authorize pay
ment of the extra pay to the heirs or legal
representatives of otIcerS of enlisted men
who die after discharge from the service
without having received the extra pay; that
such extra pay is a gratuity and If not re-
duced to possession by the soldier after his
discharge from the service, in case such
soldier should die, his claim for extra pay
dies with him and cannot be paid to his
heirs or legal representatives. 1t can be
paid to the heirs OF man who died or was
killed in the service.

CATHOLIC PLENARY COUNCIL,
May Consider the Church's Status in
Cuba and Porto Rico.

In influential Catholic quarters there is
much interest in the progress of the pie
nary council of the clergy from South and
Central America, which has been in prog
ress at Rome for some time and Is about
to close. These prelates have a hierarchy
entirely distinct from that of the United
States. 1t is influential body in many
respects, as the church is closely related to
the government in many of the South and
Central American countries. In some of
them the Vatican mas a nuncio or visitor,
directly accredited to the governments.
There are apostolic delegates also to Brazil
has been no cardinal in that section of the
country.
The meeting at Rome brought together
all of the high church dignitaries from
these countries. The sessions have been
secret, as is usual in plenary councils, but
the understanding here is that the final
report is about to be made, and that the
results will then reach the public 1t is
said that a misapprehension exists to
the authority which Spain exercises over
Catholic affairs in the SpanshAmerican
countries. This authority was terminated
many years ago, and today the South and
Central American clergy have their own
hierarchy, distinct and Independent in eacn
republic and without any bond whatever to
Spain. 1t is not impossible that the cOun-
Gil will consider the status of the church
in Cuba and Porto Rico, as this is in rather
an anomalous condition since the Spanish
authority has been terminated, and the
church affairs in these Islands have not
been brought under the direction of the
hierarchy in the United States.

THE SAMOAN COMMISSION.
Its NOn-ArrivaI Causing Comment in
Official Circles

The non-arrival of the Samoan commits
sion is beginning to attract comment in Of
hcial quarters, as 1t is thought some new
complication may have arisen in Samoa to
keep the commission there
The last report was that the party would
leave Apia on July Is, and if this had been
carried out the commission would have
been due in San Francisco before the pres
ent time. 1t is supposed that the trip was
to be made on the transport Badger, which
could readily cover the distance IN less
than a fortnight.
Baron Sternberg, the German commits
sic:ier, wrote, under date of July Ii, that
ne expected to sail in a day or two and
Mr. Trip sent similar notification to the
State Department. AS the bulk of the
natives was disarmed, there is little pros
pect that they could create serious dis
order, yet, in case of renewed trouble be-
tween the factions, it is believed that the
commission would wait until quiet had
been restored.
In connection with Consul Osborne as
sum1ng the duties of the chief justice of
Samoa, it is understood that he had the
support of the Germans, as the latter,
while strongly opposed to the chief justice,
at no time made a point against Consul
Osborne's part in the Samoan difficulties.

ANARCHY BEGINS AGAIN
Rioting Started in Cleveland On Withdrawal
Of Troops.
Cars Stoned in Various Parts of City
First Arrest Under Boy
colt Law.

CLEVELAND ONO August AIN addi-
tion to the attempt to blow up a Jennings
avenue car on the South Side last night, re-
ports received at police headquarters show
that cars were stoned in various parts of
the city, although, SO far as learned, no
one was injured
On Pearl street near Meyers avenue a
shower of heavy stones fell upon Brooklyn
car No. 3s, smashing the windows and 9TH
erWise damaging the car. The conductor
promptly drew his revolver and fired five
shots in the direction whence the stones
were thrown.
Three shots were fired through the win
dows of a Pearl and Scovill avenue car near
the Nickel Plate station, on the West Side,
ana little later two rocks were sent crash
ing through the windows of the same car.
No arrests were made.
The troops have been gradually with
drawn from the city during the past few
days until now not to exceed 500 soldiers
remain. Fear is expressed in nlanv quar-
ters that as result of this the lawless ele-
ment will again resume the outrages that
marked the early stages of the strike.
Charles g Trieste, a barber, with a shop
at NO. 345 Jennings avenue, Was the first
man to be placed under arrest for taking
part in the boycott The warrant which
charges violation of the statutory rights
law, was sworn out by Patrolman Isaacs,

Consolidated cars. In the police court the
case was continued to August I. Trieste is

Grand Chief p M. Arthur of the Brother

Consolidated cars In disregard of the boy
cott. When asked If he patronized the Big
consolidated cars Chief Arthur replied: "Of
course, do, L ride on them every day and
whenever L have occasion to do so.'
why do you do it?'' he was asked
Why! was the reply. DO you sup
pose am going to walk three miles down
town when the cars pass my door? OF
course, L am not. This agitation and the
boycott are utterly ridiculous, and the
strikers have gone altogether too far"

Viii Have an Army Of 10000 in the
Philippines.
GIVING IT HIS PERSONAL ATTENTION
Evident He Will Be More Than a
Civil Director.
THE COMING CAMPAIGN n

Secretary Roots plan to have an army of
10000 men in the Philippines to commence
military operations at the close of the rainy
season contemplates an available lighting
force of that number. The total number of
troops will exceed $4,000.
There are now in the Philippines un-
der orders to go to Manila 30.076 enlisted
men of the regular army. There are now
organizing in the United States and the
Philippines 16,9oS enlisted men for the Phil
ippine service. To this may be added 800
signal and hospital corps men and about
1,224 officers.
With such force in the Philippines it is
estimated that the commanding general in
charge of the troops there can have 10000
men available for duty. and if the condi-
tions of health and climate are normal
there ought to be 45OOO men ready to an
swer the roll call
Secretary Giving Personal Attention.
Secretary Root is giving his personal atten-
ton to the formation of this army and to
its equipment and supplying. In the short
time that he has been in office he has learn
ed a great deal about the condition of the
service He has made inquiries of every
bureau chief concerning the status of their
respective departments and their ability to
deal with the army equipping and supplying
of $4,000 men.
Secretary Root has required from the
bureau chiefs statements of the amount of
food, clothing and ammunition and medi-
cal supplies on hand in the Philippines and
en- route; the methods and resources of
transportation and facilities for handling
men and supplies in the Philippines; the
status of the medical corps and the gen.
eral conditions pertaining to conserving the
health of the troops.
More Than Civil Director.
1t is already evident to the War Depart
ment officials that Secretary Root is going
to be a great deal more than the mere
civil director of the War Department. He
may not plan battles and sorties for the
commanding general in the Philippines, but
he IS going to make sure through his per-
sonal watchfulneSS that the commanding
general, whoever he may be, shall have
men, guns, food and money to conduct the
campaign when the time for it's commence
ment arrives.
The next two months will be period of
great activity in the War Department. The
preparation for the big campaign TO be un-
dertaken in the fall will proceed without
tagging A great deal remains to be done
to assemble and equip this army, but no
doubt is expressed of the ability of the
W ar Department to accomplish ii through
the harmonious action of the several bu-
reaus, under The able management of the
men in charge of them, and the general
direction of Secretary Root.

CANVASSING FOR FUNDS.
Money to BE Used in Behalf of Postal

Reports received by the Post Office De-
partment from various large cities through
out the country, notably New York and
Chicago, indicate that a systematic can
vass is being made for funds with which
to influence legislation by Congress at it's
approaching session in behalf of post Of
flee clerks and letter carriers. The work is
Principally done, it is said, by professional
canvassers, who are paid a given percent
age of contributions received, in some in
stances as high as 40 per cent.
1t appears that all such solicitations are
in violation of the postal laws and regula-
tions, and all post office employees Who are
parties thereto will be summariiy dealt
with if found out. 1t is understood list
of those who have already contributed has
been forwarded to the Postmaster General
by the inspectors of department. What, if
anything will be done with the offenders is

MIR. TOLBERT'S CONTEST.
Why He Has Little Hope of a Seat in
the House,


r. r. Tolbert chairman of the republican
state committee, who ran away from South
Carolina after the Phoenix riots of last
fall, but went back to his home this spring,
is IN Washington again looking after his
contest for a seat in the new House of Rep
resentatives against A. c. Latimer, the
democrat, who holds the certificate of cleo
ton. Tolbert asserts that the newspaper
articles describing him as having purchased
the privilege of a peaceful return to South
Carolina by making any concessions to his
enemies, are false. He went back he says
under protection of a special proclamation
by the late Governor Ellerbee. The reput-
ed interview with him in a Greenwood
newspaper, in which he is represented as
denying the authenticity of his article pub
lished in the New York Independent soon
after his expulsion from home, was, he
says. false from beginning to end, no such
interview having occurred, and he not hav-
ing seen representative of the newspaper
in question prior to the publication.
MI Tolbert has apparently little hope of
being seated by the next House on the
strength of his present contest because of
what he claims to have been the gross in
timidation of his supporters. One man hold
ing an office under the present administra-
ton, had collected, he claims, 175 affidavits
from voters who had been denied their
rights of the ballot box but was obliged to
destroy these documents in order to escape
alive from the state When an attempt
was made to call the witnesses together
and take their testimony face to face, he
says, these men, negroes from various
parts of the district had been warned by
the other side to stay away if they would
avoid bloodshed, and not one dared ap-
pear. He says the feeling is still very bit
ter among the class who did the rioting be-
fore, and that there is a good deal of night
riding still going on in his neighborhood.
His hope is that, if he cannot induce the
House to seat him, he can at least procure
an official investigation and bring out such
details of the condition existing in his part
of South Carolina as will at least cause last
Novembers election to be treated as a null
