TO REPLACE HIS BROTHER.
Howard Now Asks for Ser.
vice at Manila.

Secretary Root has received an applica-
ton from Capt. o. C. Howard, brother
OF Lieut. Col Guy Howard, who was kill
ed in the Philippines, asking for service in
the field TO replace the dead officer. The
letter was written from Philadelphia,
where Captain Howard is living at the
present time. There is little doubt but
that the offer will be accepted by Secretary
Root. In speaking of the matter Captain
Howard says:
I'VE have always been a military fami-
ly and / have had the best military train
ing. | have one other brother who is
captain in the regular army. ! hope to be
with him soon / want service
Captain Howard did not say that it was
vengeance he was after, whatever may
have been his thoughts. His thought rath-
er seemed to be that his country should
not be made to suffer by the death of his
brother. 1t was remarked however that
the fact that he wants service in the same
locality in which his brother was killed
has some significance.
Captain Howard first received word OF
his brothers death on Sunday when a copy
Of a cablegram was forwarded to him from
Burlington, Vt, by his brothers father
in-law, Judge J. NJ. WoolWorth. The ca
blegram was originally from Manila and
announced the death of Lieutenant Colo
mel Howard, but it was unsigned. This
fact, Captain Howard said, led him to
doubt its truthfulness.
All doubt, however, as TO Lieutenant
Colonel Hcward's death was dispelled yes
terday, when Secretary Root received a ca
blegram from General Otis confirming the
reports previously sent from Manila. The
cablegram stated that Lieutenant Colonel
Howard had met his death in the perform
ance of his duty, it being understood ac-
cording TO the reports that while taking
several launches heavily laden with pro-
visions up stream TO the camp of General
foung's division, near Manila, the party
had been ambushed and fired upon from
both sides OF the narrow stream. Lieuten-
ant Colonel Howard was killed and his
clerk and several soldiers wounded.
This communication was sent to Captain
Hcwards office shortly before O'Clock
last night, and after the first shock of grief
was over he sat down and wrote the letter
Offering his services and expressing wish
to be detailed to the Philippines in his
brothers place.

A Dangerous Joke.

From the New Orleans Times -Defnoerat)
The travelling men employed by GER
tain cracker factory Of this city, said a
New Orleans drummer have all their
grips labeled in big black letters, 'Dyna-
mite-Handle with Care Wherever they
go the inscription makes more or less talk,
and it is pretty good ad' for the house.
About week ago a large sample case ar
rived by express at a hotel in little town
not far up the country, and on one side
was the familiar dynamite lettering. The
luggage had been sent ahead CT a traveller
who was expected next day and being on
to the cracker factory gag the clerk
thought he would have some fun with a
green porter, who had just been engaged.
Calling the man into the Office. he pointed
out the case and told him to carry it up
stairs. The porter read the inscription and
turned pale as death. 'Scuse me. sir. but
I'd rather MOI touch that thing he said.
oh, bcsh.' replied the clerk, what are
you afraid cf?' and walking over TO the
grip he gave it kick that sent it half
aacross the office. The porter let cut q
yell like a Comanche and started for the
door. There's no danger in dynamite,
said the clerk, giving the thing few more
jolts, and if you don't take it upstairs
right away I'll certainly have you fired.
The poor porter picked up the case very
gingerly, and holding it al arms length be-
gan to mount the stairs. Several employees
made point of humping into him on the
way, and when he returned he was bathed
in cold sweat. OF course, everybody had
a big laugh. and the matter was forgotten
until next morning, when a black whis-
kered man walked in and wrote his name
on the register. 1 had my grip sent on
ahead, he remarked as he laid down the
pen, has it arrived yet?' Yes, SIR said
the clerk: it's all right. How is the
cracker. business?' Cracker business,' ex-
claimed the stranger, looking surprised,
I'm not in the cracker busfness,' What
do you do them asked the clerk. gett ng

man. to sell 'em some explosives The
clerk held on to the counter with both
hands. Here. boyi he yelled. bring me

BATTERY o's PRACTICE MARCH.
ArtiIIerymen Attract Much Attention

ANNAPOLIS, Nd. Oct 24.-Battery o,
Seventh Regiment Artillery. United States
regulars. from Washington Barracks,
reached Annapolis last evening on thirty
days practice march. BY permission OF
the superintendent of the Naval Academy
the regulars will encamp at the Govern
ment Farm, at Annapolis. They expect to
remain here until Wednesday. Before COM
ing to Annapolis they had decided to pitch
their camp at Parole two miles from
here
The soldiers, who left Washington or
Thursday, were delayed on the route owing
TO bad roads. Sunday night they stopped
at Governors Bridge. They were five days
coming from Washington. In passing over
a small bridge one of the heavy howitzers
caused the bridge TO give way after three
other big guns had passed safely over. II
is thought the structure was weakened by
the heavy load, there being about thirty
wagons, some drawn by eight horses. One
of the horses got away and was not recov-
cred. Their fire horses were much ad-
mired. The soldiers numbered eighty five

He Commanded the First Michigan
Engineers During the Civil War.
SCHENECTADY, N. Y, Oct. 24.-The-re-
mains OF Col John B. Yates, a distin-
guished officer of the civil war. and an en-
gineer Of high standing, who died at Am
herst Bay, Ontario, on Wednesday last,
were buried in this city on Saturday.
Colonel Yates was born on October Is,
1888. his father being the Rev. John Austin
Yates. I'D. He began life as an axman il
the engineering corps of the Utica and
Schenectady Railroad. Next he worked on
the Detroit and Milwaukee Railroad as a
rodman. At the break-out of the civil civil
war he enrolled a company of the First
Michigan Engineers and was commissioned
a captain on September u, 1861. He was
promoted to the rank Of major May 2S,
1853, and TO that of colonel November ;,
1868. In this command Colonel Yates did
brilliant and effective service. The regi-
ment was the main reliance of General
Sherman for railroad building in his march
from Atlanta TO the sea.
In a letter TO the War Department writ
ten from headquarters at St Louis. June &c
;e6S General Sherman says: II well re-
member OF the first Michigan Engineers and
Colonel Yates. That regiment had not only
TO make its marches with the army but
very often had to work breaking up rail-
roads and building bridges all day and
catch up at night. Its journal of opera
tions during the campaign in Georgia and
the Carolinas would illustrate the absolute
limit of man for physical labor. / have
sometimes reproached myself for cruelty in
imposing or allowing to be imposed en- il
such hard and constant labor. and now de-
sire TO endorse this paper with an emphasis

fact j VIII be much pleased If Colonel
Yates can be suitably rewarded for his
past most valuable services
After the close of the war President John
son appointed Colonel Yates military super
intenGent Of railroads for the State Of Ten
nessee, a position which he retained
throughout the reconstruction period. :
Returning TO his profession and his native
city he was made division engineer on the
Erie Canal. Before he had been two
months in Office he fell under the ban of
the Tiiden Investigation. He then retired
from politics.

CAPTAIN cAULK's REMAINS.
Bones of the Murdered Sailor Taken
From His Burned Sloop.


BALTIMORE. Md. Oct. 24.-Patro.man
yesterday reported to Captain Barranger
that he had recovered from the burned
wreck of the sloop Dream, in Curtis Bay,
Anne Arundel county, the skull, arms, and
missing parts of the body of his uncle,
Capt. Oliver NJ. Caulk, who was murdered
by Wyatt few days ago. He took them
to an undertaking establishment. Prof
John D. Blake. of the Maryland General
Hospital, made an examination OF the
bones yesterday at the undeItaker's estab-
lishment with a view of ascertaining
whether or not the body had been cut up
and the head thrown overheard,
Prof. Blake said last night that most of
them were characteristic enough to dis
tiDguish Most of the bones of the skull
were recovered, and from them Prof.
Blake says his opinion was that the head
was burned with the rest OF the body, and
not cut of and thrown overheard. Both
of the spinal Column bones. fitting fully
into the skull bones, were recovered. and
show no evidence of having been cut Be
cause of this fact Prof. Blake says it is not
likely the head was cut off, as in cutting
through thes neck these bones would have
been severed. Some of the other bones.
he said had smooth edges, and if these
were cut at all ii must have been done
With very sharp instrument. There were
no marks such as would have been made
by hatchet, and Prof. Blake's opinion is
that they were not cut
Many of the bones have been burned so
that they crumble in the hand. The bones
of the head. parts of those of the ribs,
arms and legs made up what was recov-
cred by Patrolman Caulk.
The iron oyster measure is missing from
the wreck of the boat, although the stove
is there. 1t is thought that Wyatt, the
murderer, weighted the body of the col
ored man, Collier, with the measure and
dropped it overheard, 1t is heavy enough

NEW YORK, Oct. 24.-Members of the
Minerva Club indulged in an animated dis
cussion yesterday at the Majestic Hotel
oyer the advent of the twentieth century.
They were divided as to whether it comes
In next January or the January following.
The paper of the day was ON Current

were included such weighty subjects as ma
tional expansion, the Transyaal troubles.
and the Women's Council In London. not
one OF these topics aroused controversy,
which was only called forth when Mrs.
Howard MacNutt, president of the society.
arose and said. with great feeling:
To me the most solemn current event IS
that We are now living in the last three
months OF the nineteenth century, the
greatest century the world has even known,
and we are soon to enter on the twentieth
century. which promises to be even great
err
Pardon me. Madame President, but 1t
won't be the twentieth century for another
year yet cried someone in the audience.
Mrs. MacNutt looked discounted and Mur-
INJURED that she was afraid she had been a
little beforehand with her solemn feelings
but opinions varied and the argument wax
ed hot. Led by the objecting Minerva, a
force on the floor continued to assert that
year must pass after the first of January
next before the twentieth century would be
due. The vacillating policy OF Mrs. Mac
Mutt and her feeble followers would have
completely swamped their cause il Mrs.
William Tod Helmnth, President of the
New York State Federation of Clubs, had
not gallantly come to the rescue.
Mrs. Helmuth's word has great weight
among members of womens clubs. The
president raped loudly with her gavel.
Fellow members, said Mrs. Helmuth, is
not newborn child said to be in its first
year,"
All tbe members cried 'Yes." with the
exception of the leader of the opposition.
who said, Not till it's a year Old" This
heresy was put down at once and Mrs.
Helmuth drew a parallel between the first
year of baby's life and the first of the
twentieth century

tion was presented by Mrs. Henry A. Top

SINKS AT HER WHAnF.
The Steamer James Rogers Run Into
by a FreiShter.

MATTEAWAN, N. Y. Oct. 24.-The
steamer James Rogers, of Rondout, was
sunk at o'clock this morning at the wharf
of the New York New Haven and Hartford
Railroad, at Fishkill Landing, by being
run into by freight boat belonging to the
railroad company. The Rogers went down
quickly. She was loaded with 1,20O barrels
of cement, which were to be discharged at
the New Haven yards this morning. She
was anchored just south of the slip used
by the freight boat. Capt. Isaac Hotaling
and his crew of three men were asleep in
the cabin of the Rogers.
At the hour mentioned the freight boat
was making its way to the slip and carry
ing about thirty loaded freight cars. In
stead of entering the slip 1t crashed into
the Rogers. staving a big hole in her.
The crew jumped overheard and were res
cued with some difficulty. The boat was
owned by Captain Hotaling and the cargo
by the Loughan Cement Company of Rond-
out. The loss is $4,000.

RIOT IN A REFORM SCHOOL.
Fractions Girls Cause the Widest
Scenes of Disorder

\
| Scenes of Disorder
DES MONIES. Iowa. Oct. 24-The re-
cent trouble in the New York refuge for
| women was duplicated in similar inzti-
tuition in Iowa Sunday night and yester-
day and for a somewhat similar cause
The State Reform School. known as the
Industrial School for Girls located in the
little town of Michaelville. near this city
was the scene OF trouble. Tae institution
has 1856 inmates. many Of them more than
eighteen years old. Some OF the worst
ones gave signs of trouble and were lock-
ed in their rooms in the afternoon. Maud
Jeffreys broke out of her room and others
followed. They gathered recruits until
more than hundred were out on TIE
rampage. They literally gutted two o, the
buildings. In one of the largest on the
grounds they destroyed everything in
sight-furniture, crockery. bedding. and
even the windows and doors, which were
all smashed.
The sheriff was called in and with the
aid of several other men succeeded in get
ting about forty of the worst girls. tie
active ones in the trouble, into a base
ment with a guard at every window with
a club to prevent their escape The girls
were kept here until yesterday morning
destroying, in the meantime, all the prop
erty in the basement. The rest of the girs
without leaders were easily controlled.
The rioting lasted all night and contin-
ued all day yesterday. Several Of the girls
escaped during the night and have not
been recaptured. The sheriff sent for re-
endorsements yesterday afternoon and the
refractory girls were marched under guard
to the third floor, awaiting the determina-
tion of the board of control, which went to
the scene yesterday afternoon. About
twenty of the leaders in the rioting were
brought to Des Moines and placed in the
county Jail.
