CORBIN NOT BLAMED BY ALGER.

Washington, Dec % (SpeciaD.-The report that
ex-Secretary Alger in his book the War De-
partment in the war with Spain will present
General Corbin as the actual author of all his
troubles, finally compelling his retirement from
the Cabinet. is not only discredited in military
and official circles in Washington, but was cate
gorcally denied to-day by General Alger s
friends who acquainted with the contents of
the book. They declare positively that General
Corbin is nowhere blamed by General Alger for
anything and, matter of fact, is scarcely
mentioned in the book. General Corbin himself
manifests no apprehension anything Cen
eral Alger may say in regard to his connection
with the conduct of the War Department in the
first half of this Administration. He told
friends to-day that he willing to assume all
the responsibility that belonged to him.

srANDARDIz1NG BUREAU ADVOCATED.
ARGUMENTS MADE BY SECRETARY GAGE AND
OTHERS.

OTHERS.
Washington, Dec 2s-Senators Nelson and Tur-
ner, subcommittee of the Senate Committee on
Commerce. heard arguments to-day in support of
the measure now pending in the Senate providing
for the establishment Of a National Standardizing
Bureau Among those heard Secretary Gage
Professor o. H. Tittman superintendent of the
Coast and Geodetic Survey and also of the present
Bureau of Weights and Measures: w. s. Stratton
inspector of weights and measures under the pres
ent organization and also professor of physics in
Chicago University. and H. A. Rowland, pro-
fessor of physics in Johns Hopkins University.
They explained the object of the BILL and urged
the growing Importance of a complete Standardiz-
ing Bureau under Government direction. Secre-
tary Gage represented that such institution is
becoming more and more important the years go
by. His opinion of the Importance of the proposed
bureau, well that of the other Witnesses is
summarized In a memorandum printed for the use
of the committee, from which the following is an
extract:
Until recent years this work has been confined

increased order Of accuracy demanded in scientific
rapid progress of pure and applied science have in
creased the scope of such work until 1t includes
cal research requiring for its successful perform
the most refined measurements known to modern
science. The Introduction of accurate. scientific
esses involves the of a great variety of stand
ards of far greater accuracy than formerly re-
| quired- An accurate knowledge of the high tenn
perature of furnace or refinery or the low tenn
perature OF refrigerating process is often es-
Sentia to the economical working of the process.

inaccsracies of which involve great injustice and
financial losses; hence the National Bureau should
be in position to test electrical standards of all
kinds for commercial well as the most refined
] scientific work.
| Professor Tittman made an argument for the es-
| tabshment of the bureau constitutional
grounds calling attention to the fact that the Con-
stituton empowers Congress to fix the standard of
| weights and measures. He contended that fixed
| standards lie at the foundation of good govern
| ment, and called attention TO the measures adopt
| ed by Germany and Great Britain in the direction
| proposed by the pending bill for this country.
The bill contemplates the erection of building in
Washington for the of the bureau and for the
selection of complete staff to take charge the
/ work.

NAVAL STATION AT sUBIG BAY.
TRANSFER FROM cAvITE UNDER coNsrDERA-
TION

Washington Dec. 2s.-The General Board of the
Navy over which Admiral Dewey presides, has
taken up the question of transferring the United
States naval station from Cavite and its perma-
nent establishment Subg Bay. At the same
time the special board of naval officers max
ing inquiries in the Philippines to the best site
for permanent naval station. has sent to Wash
ngton for full equipment of boring apparatus. in
order to learn whether there is suitable foundation
at Subig Bay and other points for the extensive
drydocks and other equipment of such a station;
The question was submitted to the Dewey Board
on the suggestion of Admiral Melville and several
use of the extensive buildings already erected at
Subig Bay. These were put up by the spanish
naval authorities in a good state or preserva-
tion and are said TO offer better accommodations
for the engineering and other branches OF the
Navy than the buildings now in use at Cavite
The boring apparatus requested VIII be shipped
once, but il will be fully two months before II
can be set up for by the Board. This indicates
that IL will be time before a recommenda-
ton may be expected from that quarter The ofn-
cials here expect that the borngs will disclose con-
siderable difficulty in securing suitable foundations
for a permanent station. About seventy-tve feet
of solid foundation is required for drydock, and
there is much doubt whether this can be secured

amined by the Board. and the borings will be car

NEW WAR DEPARTMENT AUDITOR
FRED RrrTMAN. OF CLEVELAND. SELECTED TO
SUCCEED FRANK H. MORRIS.

Washington Dec 2S.-The President has rendered
TO Fred Rittnan, of Cleveland. Ohio, the place or
Fourth Auditor of the Treasury. made vacant by
the tragic death of Frank H. Morris. Mr.. Rittman
has for some fifteen or twenty years been engaged
In the banking business in Cleveland. and previous
ly was an auditor of railroad accounts He is about
fifty years OF age and stands high in business and
social circles. He is a friend of Senator Hanna,
through whose influence he secured his appoint
ment and is also known by President Mckinley
There is thought to be doubt that he will ac-
cept, and it is expected that he will assume his
duties January l.
The condition of Samuel Macdonald, who killed
Auditor Morris is considerably worse. The change
is due to a renewal of his efforts to thwart the
measures necessary to his recovery. He refuses
to take nourishment, and assists in anything that
is likely to bring fatal result. His attitude is
attributed to the failure of his brother w H. Mac
Donald, the opera singer to reach Washington.

THE MERCHANTS
In wausau on Tuesday Afternoon and
Evening.


The Milwaukee merchants, who were
on tour of Northern Michigan and
Wisconsin reached Wausau at o clock
d. m. on Tuesday. They were met at
the depot by a committee of citizens
who gave them a ride about the city,
but as the weather was insufferably hot
the ride was cut as short as possible,
the visitors preferring to take the word
OF our enthusiasts concerning our i'm
mense factories, rather than to ride
around in the heat. So all repaired to
The Bells House, where friends were
MET and greetinge exchanged. The re.
porter of the Milwaukee Sentinel told
Of the Wausau visit as follows:
Those who had the stamina to take
the ride were shown the largest and
best High school building in the state
of Wisconsin, with ward schools in diff
ferent parts of the city to match it..
The people of Wausau take especial
pride in their educational institutions,
and are liberal towards them.
No attempt was made to visit the
manufacturing plants, as the weather
was too warm and the hives of industry
too numerous TO permit of such a pro-
gramlne. One of the attractions of the
city is the residence of Neal Brown, not
only on account of its beauty, but also
by reason of the fact that upon the
lawn are to be found all the different
varieties of trees that grow in the state
of Wisconsin. This has been Mr..
Browns hobby. He has made pilgrim
ages to the forests of the state, found
his trees and planted them himself in
the grounds surrounding his home
The merchants of Wausau made up
programme for the entertainment of
their visitors, which included a banquet
at the Bells House, the housekeeper,
however put quietus on this by de-
elining to take the responsibility of
providing for the "blow out" her ex-
cuse being that the weather was too
warm for such an enterprise. For this
decision, the housekeeper is entitled to
the thanks of the visitors, as they were
in condition to enjoy a good nights
rest more than they were to sit at "A
banquet board. The merchants also
appreciated this, and in lieu of ban
quet they decided upon band concert
in the court house park, which is locat-
ed directly in front of the hotel. The
plan was carried out
Business in Wausau is good. All the
factories are running full time and the
city wears an air of prosperity"

time. About 125 went up from Wausau
returning on Wednesday morning.
Many went up with the intention of
getting the next annual picnic for Wau

a spirited contest between Wausau,
Merrill and Amigo. There were
speeches made during the day by Hon.
G. f. Whelen. of Madison, Rev James
Churm, State Chaplain, of M. w. A.,
and w. IL. Yates, of Rice Lake, and an
able lecture by Mrs. Mabel Conklin.
