a CIPHER Message Ca uses a Furry at
a British Ship Station.

Chicago. Jan. 20.-A special to the
Record from Victoria, B. G, says:
There was considerable excitement at
ESquimaIt today, occasioned by the
receipt of a cipher message by Captain
Fagen, who. now that the admiral is
cruising the southern waters, is in
charge of the station. This message is
said to have come from the consul at
San Francisco. What it contained Cap
tain Fagen, of course, is not willing to
divulge but that he considered the mes
sage of great Importance is shown by
what transpired after it's receipt On
deciphering the message he at once
summoned by signal the commanders
of the other warShipS now in port and
they were closeted with him on the
Leander for some time. After the con-
ference orders were sent to the tor
pedo boat destroyer Virago, ordering
her to prepare at once for a cruise.
Shortly afterward the vessel steamed
out and down the straits on patrol duty
At the Qualifications extra prepara
tons were taken. The guard was dou-
bled and the guns were manned. Extra
sentries have been on duty at the for
tifications for the last week and no one
is allowed there. At the dock yard all
the guns are in readiness and a big gun
covering the yard is manned night and
day.

Longstreet of New Orleans. The letter
from President Mckinley was as fol-

4 have received your kind letter ir-
viting me to be present and respond to
a toast at the tenth annual banquet of
your camp, on the 18th instant, and I
regret very much that engagements al
ready made prevent me from sending
an acceptance.
The cordial feeling of mutual respect
and good will existing between the sec
tionS of our now reunited country,
among all the people, is most gratifying
20 me. It would afford me peculiar
pleasure to be with you on this occa-
sion and give renewed expression to my
grateful appreciation of the prompt
ness and patriotism with which the cit
liens of the south, as well as of the
north, respond to the call of country
and of the ever increasing help they are
giving to those things which contribute
to its prosperity and advancement, its
permanence and influence"

brought about by the erection of mod
ern fireproof palaces, such as the Wal
dorf-A storia, Holland, Savoy, Imperial,
etc, in the near vicinity OF the Bruins

to sustain the Brunswick property he
lost heavily. He has no Liabilities ex-

the Manila outbreak occurred Sherburne

Joined the Minnesota regiment on the

shot by a Filipino not 100 yards in front
of him. The ball struck him just over
the heart and buried itself in the flesh.
He was removed to the hospital where
he soon recovered from his wound but
was forced to remain on account of
dysentery. Sherburne was known as
one of the pluckiest members of the
regiment. Three times he escaped from
the hospital and Joined the men on the
firing line. Whenever he felt a little
better he would be missing and the next
heard of him he would be found at the
front. There he would stay until or
dered back to the hospital by the sur

Harvard Raises the Standard of
Requirements.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan20.-The facul-
ty of Harvard University has passed a
measure which may have an important
bearing on the admission requirements
in the New England colleges. The Har
ward delegates at the recent meetings
of the associations TO bring about uni
form admission requirements to the
various colleges represented requested
that the standard of the English be
raised so as to comprise what is now
freshman work. The committee refused
to consider the proposition and there
fore the Harvard faculty has adopted
an independent measure.
The regular admission English to
Harvard as at present agreed on by all
the colleges will be allowed to remain.
but in addition an examination will be
held equivalent to the present freshman
and work known as English A. The
candidate who passes the examination
will not be required to take English in
college and will thus have a free choice
of his entire college course. The change
is significant in two directions: 1t
marks the beginning of an Independent
move by Harvard to have students ac-
quire a knowledge of English compost
ton and literature before entering col
lege and it is the beginning toward the
end of making the work for the Har-
ward degree of A. B., entirely elective.

DANISH WEST INDIES.
Will Not Be Purchased by Uncle Sam
at Present.

New York, Jan. 2O.-A special to the
Times from Washington says:
The department of state will not take
up, at present, the suggestion that ne
gotiations be resumed with Denmark
for the acquisition of the Danish West
Indies. Talk about negotiations is said
to be premature, warranted only by the
fact that certain business men in New
York regard it as desirable that Den
mark be again approached on the sub
ject.
No opportunity will be afforded to
anybody who aspires to carry on nego-
tiatiOns for the purpose of enjoying a
commission from the sale. 1t is felt
quite safe to leave the islands in Den
marks hands as no foreign power
would undertake to secure them with
out the approval of the United States.
1t is known that the islands are a bur-
den to Denmark but it is also felt that
congress would not just yet sanction a
purchase of them.

GOLD REBEL YELL

New York Jan. 20.-The tenth annual
banquet of the Confederate Veteran
Camp of New York, given in honor of
Gen. Robert E. Lee, was held at the
Waldorf-Astoria last night, three hun
dred persons being in attendance. One
of the features was the presence of
large number of women members of
the families of the camp members
Edward Owen, commander of the camp
presided. While the dinner was in
progress Mrs Jefferson Davis was es-
corted into the center box in the bal
cony overlooking the banquet room
She was given an ovation. Fans and
napkins were thrown in the air and
roses were flung to the box from the
tables below. In a short time Mrs
Davis was surrounded by a group which
deserted the banquet tables to greet
her. An informal reception of an hour
or more was accordingly held by the
widow of the former head of the con-
federacy. The dinner over. Commander

Standard Oil bank in this instance?
There is scarcely a banker in Chicago
who will Justify that action. It is
doubtful whether there is one in New
York will do so, unless he is rep
resentative of the National City Bank.
Furthermore, it is difficult to explain
why the secretary of the treasury
should have made of his own motion
the proposition that Mr.. Stillman. Mr..
Pierpont Morgan, "or any other gen.
tleman whom you may name should
hold a clandeStine meeting with him
at the Walton hotel IN Philadelphia at
Ills D. m on Thursday, December %,
1897 Why should the secretary OF the
treasury prefer to meet those gentle
men or any one of them privately at
Philadelphia instead of at the treasury
department in Washington, where the
secretary of the treasury is supposed
to transact public business? What was
tary of the treasury deemed it neces-
sary to conceal from the people? Why
were the relations between Mr.. Still
man and Mr.. Pierpont Morgan so much
more intimate than those between the
secretary and the people of the United
States, whom he represents and who
are entitled to know about transactions
relating to the financial affairs Of the
government? To paraphase the words
of Kipling: What should they know
of finance who only Wall street know
Has it come to a point where wall
street and the treasury department
have in common secrets the nature of
which the people must not be allowed
to suspect?
These are some of the questions
which the organs of the Standard Oil
company-its organs because they are
or wish to be under obligations to it
would do we'll to consider and answer.

MISTAKES oF GAGE.

The secretary of the treasury has
been made the subject of much criti-
cism since his transaction with the
National City Bank have come to light
and those criticisms have been by no
means confined to the opposition press
The Chicago Tribune, published in Mr..
Cages home city, and hitherto a LOYAL
supporter Of President Mckinley and
his administration, says OF the matter:
The serious blame lies in the fact
that, having been requested to increase
the deposits in the National City Bank.
knowing it was a Standard Oil concern.
and having been informed that it had
security for deposits bonds which had
been transferred to it alphabetically
by the company, he, having discretion
airy power to refuse deposits to the
bank for any particular purpose. or
to give deposits, exercised his discre-
ton in behalf of the bank. He com
Piled with the suggestion that the de-
posits be increased. and they were
raised from a few hundred thousands.
where they stood in 1897 to an average
of ten or twelve millions a month.
where they stand now or until recently
did stand.
Another thing with which fault is
found is not the writing of the letter
by President Stillman in which he sa id
that his bank had over fifty-five mil
lions of dollars loaned out on call at
high rates in Wall street for specrla-
tive purposes, and that the rate was
Kept high for the purpose of forcing
liquidation in industrials, and that it
would be pleasing to the bank if the
payments of Central Pacific money tc
the government could be deferred, SC
that money could be used probably
for a longer time.
Fault IS found with the granting Of
that request. 1t was optional with the
secretary to refuse. or consent He
consented.

ONLY THE WABASH.
Chief Arthur Says It is the Road Con-
cerned in the St Louis Meeting.

st. Louis. Mo-. Jan. 2O.-The arrival of
the executive heads of four railway or
ders in st. Louis today for the purpose
of comforting with the grievance commit
tee of the Wabash railway led to all
sorts of cOnjectures, one of which was
that the conference had been called to
adjust certain differences between rail-
roads and their employees and to con-
slider the ACCESSIBILITY of asking a. general
sweeping increase in wages. Diligent in
quiry by the Associated Press failed to
confirm a movement of such magnitude.
Chief Arthur, of the Brotherhood of
Locomotive Engineers, was asked if he
had any objection to stating why the
heads of the four orders had been called
to St. Louis. He said:
we have been called here to adjust
the differences between the general griev-
ance committee of the Wabash and the
management of that system-if we can.
No, 1 do not care to say what will be
the result, nor am / in position to do so.
The men have been very patient and
have done and are doing what they think
right to secure an anicable settlement of
all differences

ENGLAND SURPRISED.
That America Would Be So Unfriend-
~ as to Build Nicaragua Canal

London, Jan. 2O-The Daily Chronicle
says editorially today:
According to advices we have re-
ceived from Washington, a canvass of
the senate and house of representatives
has placed it beyond dispute that con-
gress will not only pass the Nicaragua
canal bill, but win pass it In form di-
rectly at variance with the Clayton
Bulwer treaty.
This is a statement of decidedly SER
ious Importance and we hesitate to be-
lieve that the United States govern
ment will commit itself to a course
which this country would have to re-
gard as unfriendly."
