Date of the show Too Late.

There is a widespread demand for
change In the time of holding the fair.
For years it has been held the last week
in September which for the last three
years has been very unfavorable. If
the board should decide to change the
date it will be held two weeks earlier
and will result in Illinois withdrawing
from the circuit of state fairs. This will
materially reduce the entries of live
stock, but the members of the board
are Of the opinion that if would be

PRESIDENT SAYS
HARRISON MUST 60.
AppeaIs for Retention of Former
Chief Executives Son in the
Army Unavailing.


REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington, Nov. 2a.-Lieutenart Colonel
Russell B. Harrison. son Of former Presi'
dent Harrison. will cease 10 be ar Htficef
of the army on Saturday. December l.
Earnest representations of friends and per
sonal appeals made to the President and
Secretary of War nave failed, and he will
be discharged In accordance with the terms
of the order ssued while Secretary Roo:
was in Cuba.
This action is taken in spite OF the 'avora-
hle recommendation of Brigadier General j
c. breckenridge, Inspector General, VINO Is
Chief Of the Corps Of which >Iieutenaii,
Colonel Harrison was a volunteer member,
and It is understood that Lieutenant Gen.
eral Miles favored his retention. The Presi-
dent decided however. that the action OF
the War Department was justified, and Lieu
tenant Colonel Harrison must go.
In explanation of the determination Of the
President and Secretary of War to dror
Lieutenant Colonel Harrison from the serv-
ice, a high official of the War Department
said to-day that he had been In service
longer than any of the other sons of noted
men appointed during and subsequent to the
war with Spain. Young Blaine. youns
Brice and others of prominent families were
discharged months ago.
Lieutenant Colonel Harrison. it is further
said, has shown no special aptitude for the
army. and as the Department of Porto Rico,
to which he was attached, was recently
abolished. there was no further need for
his services.
1t is emphatically reiterated that the at
titude of General Harrison during the cam
patsn had nothing to do with his sons dis
charge.

MAKING TROUBLE.
Volunteers From Brazil to Support
Acre Against Bolivian
Claim.

SPECIAL BY CABLE.
Rio Janeiro. Brazil. via Galveston, Tex.
Nov. 29.-(Copyright, 1900, by the New York
Herald Cornpany.)-A dispatch from Ma
naca, Brazil, announces that a volunteer
corps is being organized there to support
the so-called Republic OF Acre against the
Bolivian troops.
In view of the assertions made by the
Bolivian Minister, that the authorities Of
TIE State of Amazonas are giving active
assistance to the rebels. this announcement
is regarded as significant. Should the ex-
petition be permitted to take the field.
Bolivia probably would make an emphatic
protest.
1t is reported here that the Bolivian Min
listers in Washington and London are nego-
tiatinG for the sale Of Rolivia's rights in
Acre to an American syndicate. 1t is be-
lieved, however. that this rumor has been
circulated by representatives of Acre with
the object of discreditirg Bolivia.
DESCRIPTION OF ACRE.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
New York. Nov. 29.-The new Republic Of
Acre is built upon a strip OF territory which
has been in dispute between BraZil and
Bolivia. ard which was recently awarded
to the latter country. 1t Is an American
institution 21d is actually controlled by
Charles r. Flint and other New Workers..
who are interested In the rubber industry.
The population Is composed chiefly Of
Americans. and it is alleged that the gun
boat Castine. which assembled the Amazon
River for a distance of 1900 miles last year.
%ostcnsibly TO take soundinss. aided the
Americans in setting up the new Republic.
Brazil protested ut the time against the
presence of the American gunboat. and the
incident threatened to involve the two
countries in serious difficulties.
The Republic of Acre comprises the best
rubber lands in South America. In area it
woulG compare with the State of New Jer-
sey. There is n complete government. pat
termed after that of the United States. and
q. Minister from the Republic Of Acre Is
now en- route to Washington. bearing Gre
deutials upon which he hopes to secure
recognition.

OLD OFFENDER ACCUSED
OF MAKING BAD MONEY.
Fred Fisher Had Plaster Of
Paris, Metal and a
Ladle.
ROOMMATE ARRESTED.

Fred Fisher. alias Dutch Fred" and Jo-
saph Kaiser. 4 laborer. are locked up ut the
Four Courts on "A charge of counterfsiting
Fisher is an ''uld-timer." having been re-
| leased on November l from the State Peni-
Tertiary. where he served two years Tor
counterfciting Kaiser was never before ar
rested, and there seems to be little evil
denCc against him. except that he was q
roommate of Fisher.
For the last three weeks the city has
been flooded with spurious silver dollars.
Street car conductors especially have been
Imposed upon by the couuterfeitcrS. The
| police hope to connect Fisher with the men
who are passing the money. and thus cap
ture the gang. 1t is estimated that several
thousand counterfeit dollars have been put
in circulation.
Fisher was trapped by the police of the
Ninth District Wednesday afternoon. \
net was thrown out for him and he readily
fell into it.
On last Monday afternoon, it is said. he
| went to the house of Mrs. Mary Herman
and Mrs. Mary Kasper. at No. 2li2 Division
street, where he introduced himself as
Frank Wilson. a molder, from East st.
Louis, Ill. There were several men in the
alley i'll the rear of the house, and he want
ed 4 bucket to buy some beer. They let
h,n, nave a bucket and he went back to the
crowd. When he returned the bucket he
offered to buy some beer If they would go
after it. Mrs. kasper says he handed her
a new dollar to buy beer. and she went to
Tegethcf's saloon, at Twenty-first and Di-
vision streets. returning him the cnange a
few minutes afterwards. Mrs. Herman
says. he gave her a new silver dollar to get
the bucket refilled. She also went to Teget-
hof's saloon and returned Fisher the
change.
Shortly after Mrs. Herman lief. the sa-
loon Tegethoff discovered that the money
was spurious and called to sec the women.
Fisher was gone. but they promised to trap
him. Fisher made an engagement the next
day to meet them on Wednesday at 1870
O'Clock Policemen Degnan and Moynil,an
laid for him and took him into custody. He
Savo the name George Brown, but as soon
as he reached the station he was identified
by Policeman Lancaster as Fred Fisher.
When confronted by the officer he readily
admitted his identity. explaining that he
wanted to keep his past record a secret.
He gave his address as No. S11 North FIJI
tesnth street. A search CT the room brought
forth a ladle and a quantity of plaster of
paris. The ladle shows that it has been
used to pour molten metal, as some Of it
still adheres to the bowl. In Fishers peck

as is sometimes used by counterfeiters ard

arrested, but there is no reason to believe
he had anything to do with any counterfeit
Ing. He is in the employ Of the Orcutt
Storage Company of No. iI20 Easton ave-
nue.. where he is known as Il good. honest
workman. He said he knew Fisher had
been in the pcniteutiary. but said Fisher
had promised to lead an honest life. 1t
was a surprise to him. he said, that the la
die and the plaster of paris were found In
the room. He said he never saw them be-
fore.
At noon yesterday the two prisoners. the

felt dollars were forwarded to the -Four

new APPEAL FOR CLEMENcY.
Ambassador Choate Instructed t,
Take Up Mrs. Maybrick's Case.

REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Nov. 29.-Renewed efforts In
the interest OF Mrs. Florence Maybrick will
be made by Ambassador Choate In accord
ance with instructions given by Secretary
Hay.
Tn making of these representations has
become a routine duty for the Ambassador
Of the United States i'll Great Britain.
When Secretary Hay was in London he
TOOK advantage of every opportunity to
bring Mrs. Mayb-ick's case to the atten-
ton of the Home Secretary, but his efforts
to secure her pardon We're unavai!ing.
The reorganization OF the English Cabinet
gives Secretary Hay another opportunity TO
bring the Maybrick case again to the at
tention of the Home Secretary. Additional
evidence showing that MIR. Maybrick was
addicted to the use Of arsenic and died
from excessive consumption of the drug
bias been presented to the British authori-
ties.
1t is the understanding of the State De-
partnlent that the new Secretary is in
clined toward compliance with the wishes
OF this Government in Mrs. MaybricE's
case. but there have been no important
changes in the under officials, and they will
probably oppose the new efforts to bring
Ter release as strongly as they have done
in the past.
