Washington, August THE appeal
of the citizens OF Wagner for the
appointment of a townsite commIs-
sion for that city at last touched a
responsive chord at the Interior De-
partment. and DIR. Henry Clay Linn,
formerly of Kansas but now of Wash
ington, has been appointed as chair
man of the board. The commission,
however, is temporary affair. The
funds being low the department de-
cided that it would not be practica-
BILE to maintain a board at Wagner
until the work was completed. Ac-
cordingly it was agreed that board
should be appointed to make sur
vey of the town and then suspend
operations until after congress meets
when an additional appropriation
will be asked for to continue the
work.
DIR. Linn is a well known citizen
and republican of Kansas, and was
selected by the department because
of his experience in this line of
work. Great dissatisfaction prevails
at the Interior Department with the
work thus far accomplished by the
other lownsite commissions, and DR..
Linn was selected particularly for
the purpose of demonstrating that
the surveying and laying out of
towns can be completed much sooner
than it is evident that the work of
the other commissions, particularly
the one at Muskogee, will be finished.
1t is expected that it will require
from 80 to As days for the new COM
mission to survey the town, prepare
the maps and charts and forward
them to the department.
Protests continue to reach the de-
partment from citizens of the Choc-
taw and Chickasaw nations and the
town of Wagner against the arbi-
trary measures adopted by the town
site commissioners. These protests
will unquestionably result in thor
ough investigation by special agents
of the department who will be sent
to the territory in the near future.
No action has yet been taken by
the Secretary of the Interior on the
recommended i made by Special
Agent Zeverly with relation to the
Suspension of the pay ment of Chero-
kee and Choctaw warrants The
subject, however, will be taken up
for consideration the first of the
week and there is little doubt that
Secretary Hitchcock will approve
the recommendation of the Special
agent.

Washington, Aug S.-The follow

New York's Men Have Not FORGOTTEN
Santiago Affair.
Newport, r. l., Aug. s.-There is
bitterness of feeling existing between
the crews of the flagship New York
and the cruiser Brooklyn. While the
two ships were here during the past
week there were several instances
where this antagonism showed itself.
To make matters worse, the crews
had a boat race and the New York
crew won easily. As result hun
dreds of dollars went from the
Brooklyn to the New York men, who
came ashore and spent the money.
Sailors from the two ships were
given leave on the same evening
during the earlier part of tho week,
and, although there were no fights
between them, their dislike for each
other was apparent. The liberty
party from the Brooklyn travelled to-
gethsr almost to a man. On Mon
day the minstrel troupe from the
New York gave an entertainment and
an invitation was sent to the Brook
lyn for thirty men. When the time
for mastering of men arrived the Of
ficer of the deck had but three men
who were ready to visit the flagship.
1t appeared to be a prearranged plan
not to attend the show. Some of the
enlisted men said they would visit the
flagship only under orders.

Eikton. ma, TO Answer for the Killing Of
ALI Terror. at Perryviile. september 4rh,
Elkton. Md, SEPT. 20.-The grand
Jury OF the circuit Court, yesterday,
found a true bill of indictment against
Constable William p. Windish of Will
mington, DEL, for shooting and killing
Ali Terror, at Perryville, on September
4th.
At 0 o'clock this morning, Windish's
trial began, before Chief Justice James
Alfred Pearce and Associate Justices
Frederick Stump and William r.
Martin. The following trial Jury was
drawn: William ID. Cauley, James
Honey, Samuel M. johnson, William
=. Boulder. George M. Bennett, Then
dore j. Abrams, William III. Cole,
Harry ID. Trimble, Edward Ii. Gosner,
Joseph W. Shippers, Ricketts, Nelson,
r. Day CantwelL
Windish is on trial for murder, and
the grade OF his guilt, if he should
be found guilty at all, will be de-
termined BY the jury.
Windish was arraigned and pleaded
not guilty. His counsel are Austin L.
Crothers and L. Marshall Haines. The
State is represented by States Artor-
ney William S. Evans and Frank X.
Finnan.
The States witnesses called we're
Jacob Campbell, Charles Keesey,
George Campbell, Thomas Chamber
lain and j. Howard Pugh. All testified
to the circumstances Of the shooting,
as already reported in the papers.
Sheriff j. Ross Conley testified to
Wiudish surrenderipg after the Shoot
ing.
Windish was called to the stand and
swore that the shooting was purely
accidental. He told how he had gone
with Detective Jones to arrest men who
had stoned passenger train, and
found some men in freight car. He
said he rested his revolver on the floor
of the car, to brighten the two men
inside, and as Torrez went out the
weapon was discharged. Why it went
off he could not say, hut was certain
he did not pull the trigger. He was
excited at the time, and had prisoner
in his other hand.
Detective William T. Jones and
Richard Kendall of Wilmington, testi-
fled to the occurrences SO far as they
knew them, but they did not see the
shooting.
1t is likely the case will go to the
Jury this afternoon. Both sides are
disposed to shorten the trial as much
as possible.

j. Frank Ball, Magistrates Lewis Sasse
and John f. Daley, Levy Court Com
missioner John j. Mealey and Peter J.
Ford, all of Wilmington, came here to-
day, to testify to the good character of
Constable Windish.

ARE DETERMINED ON WAR
Beers Awaiting Two Days Rain on tho
Yeldt Before Beginning HostllitieS.
so ASSERTS A CORRESPONDENT
His Dispatches Sent From the
Alarmists' Mecca.
COMPLICATIONS WITH PORTUGUESE

Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires.
London, Eng, Sept. 20 = Great
Britain's relations with the Transyaal
remain unchanged, and, so far as the
former is concerned, the situation is
not likely to take ON a new phase until
after Fridays cabinet council. Whether
the Beers will he content to wait even
that long before ending the suspense
with hostilities, appears open to a
great deal of doubt.
The second edition Of the Morning
Post contains a dispatch from Pieter-
maritzburg, Natal, dated September
18th, saying: II have never known
the situation to be graver. The Boers
only await two days rain on the
veidt before beginning hostilities.
They are determined on war. and con-
slider they can expect nothing else
after. the last dispatch, and are pre-
pared to face the consequences. The
correspondent then describes in detail
the Beers elaborate border prepara-
tions, which appear more thorough
and formidable than heretofore be-
lieyed. He says the Orange FREQ
State officers at Pretoria have devised
a combined plan of action, which,
he adds, includes seizine Maiuba,
Laing's Neck and Newcastle, Natal,
the moment the ultimatum arrives.
Continuing, the correspondent asserts
that the Portuguese officials at Risanio-
Garcia have arrested some Boer officials,
on the charge of constructing a lager
in Portuguese territory The Outlander
Council, as result of the meetings
held at Pietermaritzburg and Johannes
burg, has decided to address a COM
munication to the British High Com
missioner, Sir Alfred Miner, urging
the imperial government to break off
negotiations with the Transyaal. The
reasons for this action are that "the
severe distress prevailing may compel
the remaining 0utlanders to accent any
compromise offered, that loyal British
subjects are becoming disseminated,
and that great unrest exists among
the natives. -
1t should be borne in mind, how
ever, that Pietermaritzburg has been
the mecca of the alarmists, and the
Morning POSTS dispatches are inclined
to be sensational.

A NAERoT ESCAPE.


state Senator MeFarl,n Was Thrown From
Moving Machine, But Got on Luckily.
State Senator Robert McFarin, ro-
siding near Farnhurst, came near
nesting his death on Monday last,
while at work moving on his farm.
He had pair OF spirited animals
attached to the machine and they
ATTEMPTED to run away. He was thrown
from the machine but in some un-
accountable manner, in an attempt to
save himself, his right shoe became
fastened in the gearing and the
knives of tho machine were prevented
from working. When he fell he held
OH to the lines and she animals were
stopped, but not before he had received
severe injuries to his right leg below
the knee. His escape from being hor-
ribly lacerated IS considered almost
miraculous.
