The explanation offered for this RI

MILITARY CAMP
To Be Established by the War Department
in the Southern States.

in the Southern States.
Washington, March 21.-Secretary
Alger has come to the determination
to maintain summer camps for the I'm
tied States troops in the Southern
States, and the delegation of Georgians
who called upon him yesterday to Sc
cure that object will be so informed.
1t is also the intention to maintain one
of the camps in the neighborhood OF
Atlanta The only condition is that
the present Georgia quarantine regula-
ton, which operates SO as to prevent
the movements of troops absolutely de-
manded by the military needs of the
case, shall be adapted to the require
ments. The number of troops to be
located at any one camp will not be
large, for it is said at the department
that only about fifteen thousand sol
diers will be so located, but there is
likely to be much changing around
among the men. Troops returning
from Cuba are to be detained in the
Georgia camps about twenty days at
least before being sent to their homes
or to the Northern posts.

TO VISIT THE PHILIPPINES.

indianapolis, Ind, March 21.-United
States Senator Albert J. Beveridge, ac-
companied by his wife, started for the
Philippine islands to-day. He expects
TO be gone three months. The trip will
consume about one month each way,
leaving one month for stay in China
and the Philippines. After having
completed his trip in the Philippines
he may decide to return here by way of
the Suez canal.
Senator Beverage said just before
leaving that he made up his mind sew
eral weeks ago to make this trip. His
first intention was to go away without
making his destination public, but he
reached the conclusion that his going
might be misunderstood, so he decided
to announce it.
ut is merely a pleasure trip" said
he. 1T is a good while until Congress
meets, and feel that l am in need of
rest l have always desired to take a
trip of this kind, and l made up my
mind to pack up and go this time. 1
have no definite plans. The immediate
destination will be Yokohama. l shall
spend some time in China and shall
probably visit the Philippine islands. :"
AS Senator Beverage is a pronounc-
ed expansionist, it is generally thought
that he will not fail to avail himself of
all the information he can gather in
his trip on subjects expected to take
up much time of the next Congress.

DOMESTIC TROUBLES. !"

Chicago March 21.-John T. Shayne,
the millionaire furrier of this city, was
shot three times to-day by H. II. Ham
mond, a merchant taller, while the two
were dining together at the Auditor
ium annex. One of the bullets lodged
in Mr.. Shayne's left shoulder, one in
his thigh and the other in his hip. None
of them, it is thought, will prove fatal.
Hammond was arrested, but he re-
fuses to talk. Domestic troubles are
said to be the cause of the shooting.

man found early this morning might
be that Of his sister and he asked for
the body. 1t was at the morgue. When
he heard the description of the teeth
found in the lower jaw Of the woman
dug out this morning, he said he was
inclined to doubt if the body was that
of his sister, as her teeth were irreg-
ular and not complete.
Mrs. Alice Price, of Macon, Ca, Mrs.
C. Simmons, of Frederick, Md; Kate
Roach and Nellie Thomas, the persons
injured in the Windsor Hotel fire, were
reported to-day to be rapidly improv-
ing and will be able to be out in a
day or two from Bellevue hospital,
where they were taken on the day of
the fire. The work Of getting into the
ruins is progressing rapidly to-day.
The men have got twelve feet below
the surface in some places. 1t is
feared they cannot get down much
farther as the sub-cellar is flooded with
water to a level two feet above the
regular cellar floor.
The fifth body was taken out of the
ruins on the southwest corner, south
ward and in line with the elevator. 1t
was a charred trunk with the legs below
the knees and the arms below the ell
bows missing. The upper part Of the
head was also missing.
Opinions differ as to whether it is the
body Of man or woman.
Nothing was found near the trunk by
which it might be identified.
A few minutes after the finding of the
fourth body a handbag was dug cut
of the ruins few feet away. 1t con-
tanned small box holding a false
tooth plate, and a card with the name
of Miss A. E. Harris and the address,
''Finsbury Pavement, E. c." There
was also in the bag watch, a travel
er's clock, bunch of keys, a number
of blank checks of the Union Bank OF
London, and number of handker-
chiefs marked ct. A. B." ''T. A. Bar
rett, of London, is one Of the persons
still missing.
The fifth body to be recovered was
taken out of the ruins at the south
west corner, southwark of and on line
with the elevator. The body consisted
of a badly charred trunk with the legs
extending only to the knees and the
arms only to the elbows. The upper
part of the head was gone. There was
nothing found near the trunk by which
it might be identified. 1t is generally
believed to be a woman's body.

A2nS Men horn in the Eighteenth
VIII See the Twentieth Open
Servtn's Many Ccatenarians,

People don't live to be as old us
'icthusclah these days, but there are 4
number now living who, if they last I'M
iii the end of next year, will have seen
'brcc centuries. That, of course, does
not mean that they then will be. 800
years old, but only that they were born
at the close of the eighteenth century
and lived through this wonderful nine
tenth to see the opening Of the to-bc-
more-wo1dcrful twentieth.
There are 2 number of these old peo-
pic in the United States, and some of
ihcm were born here, when the rcpub-
lie was in its infancy. They saw the
times that ''trictEmen's souls" they're
member Washington and his contincn-
tails, and old Tippecanoc Harrison, and
old Winfield Scott, and Zachary Taylor

American army; and Mcclellan, and

and sherman. and Sheridan mixing it
up i'll the fratricidal strife that marked
the passing Of slavery and the MARTYR
dom of Lincoln; they saw the first
steamboats, and the first railroad trains
and the Introduction of electricity; and
in their old age they have come upon
people balancing themselves upon two
wheels and travelling about over the
country at surprising speed; they have
wondered at the Harvesting Of electric

DRIVE cars and carriages, and engines

Just seen war between nations finished
off in few short months, with modern
fighting implements, that in their
youth would have lasted for wears: they
have seen the United States grow from,
an infant republic to world power,
and they appreciate the marvellous in
the things that to the youth Of to-day
seem commonplace.
There we're no records of births and
deaths kept in this country when these
old people were young, so there is no
way i'll which their number can be
computed with eXactness. But a com
retent authority has estimated that
there are at least 700 of them scattered
about over the states. In the older
countries Of Europe, however, these
records have long been kept up and
over there it has been figured out that
ot eiio iii9 udS Oh the twentieth CEN
tury there will be over 1000 persons
living who were alive on the last day of
the eighteenth century.
Scrvia is especially the country of
centenarians, and leaves all other Eu-
ropcan countries hopclessly in the rear
in the longevity race. One man in 1890
has seen 100 years, and, in all, Seryia
