and Wilson.

Washington, Dec. 4.-The bill report
ed by the house military committee to-
day is the Root bill amended. Most of
these changes have been reported. Two
sections were added to the bill today,
the first of which is meant to cover the
case of. General Shafter and the last
Wilson. These sections are:
41-That the president is hereby au-
thorized to select from the retired list
of the army an officer not above the
rank of brigadier general, who may
have distinguished himself during the
war with Spain in command of a sep
arate army. and to appoint, by and with
the advice and consent of the senate,
the officer so selected to be major gen
eral u S. A. with the pay and allow
ances established by law for officers of
that grade on the retired list
42-That the president is authorized to
select from the brigadier generals of
volunteers two volunteer officers with
out regard to age and appoint them
upon the retired list.
Other amendments are.
The increase of the officers of artil-
lery shall be in proportion to the in
crease of the number of men. The ad-
jutant general shall have the rank of
a major general during the active ser
vice of the present incumbent and there
after the rank of brigadier general.
The age limit for appointment to staff
positions is stricken out. The surgenal
is authorized in emergencies to appoint
as many contract surgeons as may be
necessary.

PRINCE OF WALES BOAT.
May Be Sent Over to Contest For
American Cup.

New York, Dec 4=Yachtsmen have
been discussing the possibility of the
boat building for the Prince of Wales
taking the place of the Shamrock II as
challenger for the Americas cup in case
the Royal Yacht club should come off
the victor in the trial races. When the
attention of Manager w. Butler Dun
can, jr.. was called to the cables, he
said:
'I haxe not considered such a con-
tingency. The cables relating to the
challenger have been of such a specu-
lative character 1 have paid no atten-
ton to them. 1t really makes no diff
ference after all what boat comes over
after the cup, as it can not affect our
activity in regard to the defense.
I'VE are going to get out the very
best boat possible. No pains or ex-
pense are to be spared to make her the
fastest thing afioat, and when the time
comes to race we shall have the knowl-
edge that nothing has been left undone
to make the defense a SUCCESS"
Commodore Ledyard, of the New York
Yacht club, when asked if the royal
boat would be eligible to race for the
cup If she did succeed in beating Sir
Thomas craft in the trial race, said
there would be no difficulty in arranging
the matter
IF the yacht fulflls the dimension re-
quirementseAnd should be chosen to rep
resent England, very likely mutually
satisfactory arrangements could be
made by the New York and Royal
Ulster yacht clubs, as the deed of gift
of the Americas cup allows many of
the conditions to be waived when it is
deemed advisable"
Work is proceeding satisfactorily on
the defender" said Manager Duncan.
Naturally 1 am not at liberty to give
out the details of progress, but 1 can
say she viii be ready in ample time for
early preliminary work"
The joint visit of MeSsrs. Duncan and
Iselin to Bristol served to revive the
opinion among yachtsmen that Mr..
Iselin would sail the Columbia in the
trial races and his trip to Bristol was
explained to be for the purpose of max
ing arrangements with Herreshoff for
putting her in proper shape for this
service.
Mr. Duncan. however, when asked
about the matter, said Mr.. Iselin ap
parentIy held to his original intention to
have no part in the defense, and he did
not know who would have charge of
this branch Of the work.

BRITISH COMMENT.
Presidents Message as Viewed by
Press of London.

London, Dec. 4-Comment upon Pres
ident McKinley's message to congress is
chiefly devoted to the references to
Americas Chinese policy. The Daily
Graphic says:
The policy of the United States re-
garding China is not heroic. but it is
certainly practical. and there is ample
reason to believe that it will prevail"
The Times says:
THE message makes it clear that on
the vital point of insisting upon punish
ment for the outrages Mr.. Mckinley re-
mains firm. We are glad to see that on
the subject of guarantees for Christian
converts the president makes a new pro-
posal in advance of any put forward
elsewhere. In regard to the Indemnity
question he is in agreement with some
of the best opinion in England"
The Times edltorially concludes with
an expression of the hope that Mr.. Nc
k1nley'S second term may be marked by
a satisfactory settlement of all out
standing questions between Great Brit
ain and America"
The Daily News says:
The message contains nothing new
and nothing very illuminating on mat
ters that are old. 1t will be very close
ly scanned for its references to China
1t looks as though the American form
ula were that the powers are to specify
the culprits and the Chinese govern
ment is to specify the punishment. on
such terms a speedy settlement would
effective or durable2"
The Standard. which agrees with the
Times, that if all the powers had with
drawn after the legations were relieved
to the same extent as the United States
there would not be now much chance
of obtaining satisfaction, remarks:
''The excessive anxiety to re-estab-
lish trade with China is, perhaps, the
real explanation of some, points that
have not seemed satisfactory in the re-
cent policy of the United States"
l.. In the opinion of the Standard the
Washington government has acted as
a drag on European diplomacy
The Daily Chronicle observes:
Clearly the United States govern
ment is able to boast of an aggregate Of
imports and exports exceeding two bill
lions and to propose a reduction Of
revenue taxation to the extent of thirty
millions. The administration has a fair
justification, even if there be no very
obvious need for further encourag ging

OWEN MURPHY DEAD.
a Man Whom the Late Rufus Lord
Considered Strictly Honest.

New York, Dec. c.4-Owen Murphy, who
has been for more than half a century
agent of the estate of the late Rufus
Lord and a man we'll known in Wall
street, is dead from old age a Brooklyn
Mr.. Murphy was in the employ of Rufus
Lord when his office was robbed IN
broad daylight of bonds and securities
to the value of 81, 100000 up to that time
the heaviest robbery in the history OF
Wall street, and he subsequently passed
through remarkable experience at the
hands of the police. Mr.. Murphy was
not at the Office at the time the robbery
was committed, but the police, under
Captain Young, desired to put him
through the third degree" Mr.. Lord,
however, positively prohibited it, saying:
If Owen Murphy wanted to rob me
he could have done so long ago and have
taken more than is now missing"

told Mr.. Prince that he had seen the
county attorney about the letter he re-
ceived. He would, however, only let
Prince see part Of it.
Mr.. Prince learned afterwards that
Thompson did not see the county attor
ney about the letter, but that he did show
it to another lawyer. Mr.. Prince wrote
to the United States consul at Puerto
Cartes, Honduras, inquiring about the
death of his son. He has received a reply
stating that his son was shot with a
revolver on the beach, the bullet strik
ing him between the eyes The consul
wrote that the news OF the shooting was
brought to him by Albert Thompson,
who subsequently disappeared, but has
since returned to Puerto Cartes. 1t is
known that the only money Albert
Thompson had when he started for Bos-
ton was $40 which his brother Edgar Dor
rowed for him to pay his expenses to Bos
ton.
The men went into the mountains
when they reached Honduras, but didn'i
like the work and came back to Puerto
Cartes, which is a seaport town, whe II
they secured employment. Mr.. Prince
has written to the United States consu
at this port for further particulars.

FORGOT ABOUT SILVER.
Tammany Adopted Some Resolutions
Last Night.

New York, July 23.-The Tammany
Hall general committee at a meeting held
in the wigwam tonight adopted a series
of resolutions moved by Richard Croker.
After endorsing the nomination of Bryan
and Stevenson and declaring feaIty to
Democratic principles, the resolutions
say in part:
''Tammany Hall believes in that char
acter of territorial expansion which was
favored by the father of Democracy; not
expansion by the shedding of American
never follow the flag, but in that which
has added to the glory and prosperity Of
our union; not in that which is to the
Union a source of disgrace and disaster.
''The Republican party while profess
ing a desire to carry freedom to distant
strangers Of strange habits, and of uncer.
tain civilization, is satisfied to leave
American citizens on American soil in
bondage to the trusts and monpolies be-
gotten OF Republican legislation; for that
is nothing less than a condition of slavery
which fetters individual energy and gives
to the favored few the fruits resulting
from the labor Of the many.
''Inspired by it's forbidden alliance
with the British empire, the Republican
admlnistratio has reached out for
colonial dependencies the control of
which means the last step in the direc-
tion of Imperialism and military govern
ment by the United States. That ac-
oomplished, there will be nothing but
name and location to distinguish the
American government from the mon
archies of Europe. The future of Anne
rican young manhood is limited by the
Republican principle to either military
service on distant fields OF doubtful
glory or to lifetime OF useless struggle
against the killing competition of trust
and monopoly -
The resolutions contain no mention of
the silver question.
