MORE ARRESTS OF FRoYA11s1s.
OfThirey-seven Warrants Issued Some
 Twenty-five Have Been Served.

Paris, Aug. 13.-Demonstrations oc- cured this evening outside the offices of the anti-Semite league, where MT. Jules Guerin, president of the league, and M. Max Regis, the former Jew batting mayor of Algiers, against whom orders of arrest were issued yesterday on charge of conspiring to bring about a change of government, are still be- sieged by the police. Fifty anti-Semites took up position in a restaurant op- posite and M. Guerin harangued them from window. Finally the police cleared the thoroughfare to prevent the demonstrations from becoming serious. froy, president of the committee of the Jouenesse royalists, was arrested and a dispatch from Saint Lo, capital of the department of Manche, announces the arrest of M. Le Menuet, secretary of the League of Patriots. It appears that the reports of the arrest of M. Marcel Habert, member of the chamber of dcp- uties for Rambouillet and a high official of the League of Patriots, were incor- rect. He is still at large. Out of thir ty-seven warrants issued some twenty five have been executed.
 These already arrested include Comte de Sabran Ponteves, Comte Chevilly, M. de Monicourt, secretary of the Jeunesse Royaliste, and M. de Frechencourt, vice president of the Oeillet Blanc, or White Carnation society.

CROKER CHANGES HIS MIND.

 should be Given Up.

should be Given Up.
 New York. Aug. H.--Richard Croker at the Democratic club last night said; q was wrong in the statements con corning the Philippine islands that I made before l went away. l based my belief that we should not give up a foot of soil our soldiers have won on infor- ma tion that was not complete. 1 would not give two cents for man who, when he found that he had been wrong, would not at the very first chance set himself right Such man would not be fit for either political Or private life. Publicly I made the statement that I did not be- lieve we should give up the Philippines, which has cost us so many lives I am not ashamed now to say to the puh- lie that I was wrong.
 'I am not playing a political game through that interview. No one man was responsible for my change of mind. While l was in Europe I talked with some of the best informed men there or anywhere else on the colonial question. I made Investigations for myself. reached the conclusion that We have no right at all to keep the Philippines We were wrong in the first place to pay $20, 900, 900 for them. On a question like this there should be no dividing line be- tween democrats and republicans. Hu- manity, not politics, is involved and I am convinced that humanity as repre- sented by the votes of American citi- zens at the next election will record its horror and generation of the men and party who are for private gain putting bloody pages in history.

 hood of NJ Coming Here

hood of It Coming Here. | Washington, Aug 13-The West In- dian hurricane appears to be gradually
 decreasing in strength and the chances
 are that it will spend itself before mak- ing much further progress. This Is the welcome news given out by the officials of the weather bureau tonight. It is
 based on the fact that there has not
 been any decided fall in the barometer in the localities that should feel it's ef- feet and by the presence of an area of
 high pressure in the northern part of the United States which tends to keep the storm from continuing it's onward march. The movement of the hurri- cane is apparently very slow and even at Jacksonville the velocity of the wind this morning was but twenty-two miles an hour. The opinion of the officials is that by the time Charleston is reached there will be no more than an ordinary blow. Wilmington, N. C., and Norfolk have taken down their hurricane sig nals. The storm now appears to be on the east coast of Florida and the latest reports from Jupiter, dated at 4 o'clock this morning, indicate a pretty severe blow at that point It is now south of Jacksonville The bureau has had no wire reports south of Titusville, Fla, some distance below Jacksonville, since last night and nothing from Nassau, Bahama Islands, since Friday after noon.

Lenox, Mass, Aug. 13.-The condition of Anson Phelps Stokes, who was so se- riously hurt Saturday by being thrown from his horse, remains practically un- changed. MT Stokes bore the opera tion heroically, and before the operation knew that he was about to have his limb taken off. The horse that the mil lonaire was riding was a flve-yearold English hunter and one that had just been broken to the saddle for the use of MT. Stokes. MT. Stokes was consid cred an expert rider and horseman, and the animal must have run with full force against the tree near where the millionaire was found. Miss Helen r.

 'The government is awaiting the ap-

 to the proposal of Mr. Chamberlain to
 submit the franchise controversy to a joint commission of inquiry. I am in a
 position to assert that the first draft
 of the Transvaal's answer was a refus- | al. The second was an acceptance, con- 1 ditional on the independence of the | South African republic not being i'm punged. This dependence on Bloemfon- tein and the cabinet at Cape Town is
 proof of the chaos reigning in Pretoria. Ihe leading members Of the Raad are opposed to war and accuse President Kruger of being responsible for the crisis. More than this, despite the war preparations, the TransvaaI generally is aVerse to g conflict
 Johannesburg, Aug 13-The Trans vaal government, it is reported. has provisionally arranged with the Nether- lands South African Railway company for mobilization on the shortest notice if required. Immense stores of war material have been collected at Pre- toria. It is rumored that orders have been issued to mobilize the artillery re- serve.

DEFENDS THE HIGHER CRITICS
Rev. w. Il. Anderson Believes the
Coming Generations VIII he
Grateful for Their Work.

ST. LOUIS Nov. 3O.-The fourth day
session of the Methodist Episcopal church
congress began today with discussion OF
the church and higher criticisms.
Rev. W. F. Anderson of Sing Sing, N. Y,
defended the critics, believing that the COM
ing generations will be as grateful to them
as we are now grateful to the pioneers in
Christianity. The speaker asserted that
IL we are to have a theology which will
satisfy the demands of the age it must be a
theology founded on fact
ANY fair-minded, thinking man." said
he, "must admit that many inaccuracies
occur in the bible
Reverting to the attitude or some church
men toward these higher critics, Dr. Ander-
son said 1t was very easy for a man who
had not read book since 1850 to stand off
and throw stones at the dligent students
of the present day.
I'VE cannot" said he, Save the old
framework neither is 1t necessary that we
should, but the old spirit Of early Meth
odsm still prevails-brotherhood, personal
service and rniversality."

TIMELY ADVICE SAVES LIVES
Anchorage on the Warnings of
the weather bureau.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3O-The annual re-
port of Prof Willis l.. Moore chief OF the
United States weather bureau deals largely
with the work of the bureau in announcing
the weather of the closing months of 1898
and of the exploration OF upper air by means
of kites and cloud observations.
No destructive marine storm occurred
without the danger warnings Of the bureau
preceding the storm. Probably the most
severe storm within the memory of those
living there swept along the Massachusetts,
coast on November 26 and %, 1898, en-
failing a loss of at least 200 lives and many
vessels. Hundreds of craft sought a safe
anchorage on the advice of the weather
bureau.
An important change in the forecast work
OF the weather bureau was the extension of
the usual time limits of the night forecast
from thirtysix to forty-eight hours. The
only hurricane in the West Indies during
the season of 1898 followed closely the
establishment of stations in that region.
Hurricane warnings were cabled to weather
bureau stations in the Lesser Antilles on
September 10 in advance of the storm. At
Barbados eighty-three persons were killed,
$50 drowned and property of the estimated
value of $2500,000 was destroyed.
In the West Indies the work OF cstab-
fishing a storm warning service was prose
cuted under very great difficulties. The
West Indian service was instrumental in
giving advance warnings of hurricane that
struck our South Atlantic coast on October
2. The coming of this storm was success
fully announced and sailing vessels valued
at $3S0O00 were held in port until the
danger had passed.
Climate and crop services have been estab-
lshed in both Cuba and Porto Rico and the
organization is far enough advanced on
both islands to issue weekly and monthly
bulletins giving the condition OF the crops
as affected by the weather.
