WANTS AN INVESTIGATION.
General Lew Wallace Appeals to Army
Of the Tennessee.

indianapolis, Nov 1.-THE chief in
cident in the meeting of the Army of
the Tennessee, which opened here yes
terday, was the reading and discussion
of letter written by Gen. Lew Wal
lace of Charlottesville Ind. The letter
was read by General Hickenlooper. cor
responding secretary, and was an ac-
acknowledgement of the courtesy and
Kindness of the society in inviting Cen
eral Wallace to become member. Cen
eral Wallace set out that he had been
a member of the society and had sever
cd his membership after the first three
or four meetings for the reason that he
found in the society, at that time, many
who were unfriendly to him because of
the discussion that grew out of the bat
tie of Shiloh General Wallace said he
would become member if the society
would do him justice by appointing
committee to review and report On his
conduct on the occasion of his march
from Crumps Landing to Pittsburg
Landing.
General Hickenlooper said that the
society had never in any shape or form
voiced the charges of which General
Wallace complained. Judge Tuthill Of
Chicago. said the society would be glad
to receive from General Wallace and
place on record anything he might
write concerning the battle Of Shiloh.
Major Muhlenberg said he was opposed
to anything more than the mere cour-
tesy that had already been extended to
General Wallace of coming and joining
in the reunion. General Wallace. he
said, had made grlevous mistake in

Bulgaria. dispatch to the Journal and
Advertiser. Miss Stone" he said, zig in
the house of Bekir Bey, in the town OF
Ceres, Macedonia. / left her two days
ago, coming direct to Mr.. Dickinson to
try to arrange for her release. Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsllka are well, but the
strain is terrific, and there is danger
that Miss Stone may lose her mind. To
be always in the same surroundings is
likely to drive her crazy; constantly
looking at the same object has semi
mesmerized her and she has had a pre-
sentiment that evil will befall her. The
brigand chief informs me that he will
now insist on the full ransom, as the
length of time Miss Stone has been left
on his hands leaves no margins for bar
gaining. The name OF the brigand chief
is Dervich Younnouss, and he is an AL
banian. Bekir Bey, in whose house Miss
Stone Is confined, lie hand in glove with
the brigand chief. There are about 100
Macedonians imprisoned in connection
with the Stone affair by the Turkish of
ficials. I want no personal compensa-
ton, but / want the Macedonians re-
leased. If the American, English and
French consuls at Salonica insist on Be-
kir Bey releasing Miss Stone, 1t will not
be necessary to deal with the brigands.
and we can get her release without pay
ing ransom

ACCUSES THE BoERs.
Secretary of War for Britain Makes
Serious Charges Against Beers.

London, Nov. 15.-1n a speech here
Secretary of War Brodrick declared
that the success of the Beers lately in
eludng pursuit was partly eXplainable
by their numbering natives to prevent
them from giving information as to
their movements. He admitted that in
saying this he was making serious
charge. but so many murders of this
kind had been mentioned in the war Of
flee secret intelligence that he had ques-
toned Gen. Kitchener. who had replied
that cold blooded murders of natives by
Beers have lately been frequent.
Reviewing the situation Brodrick said
he was able to account for $4,000 Beers
killed, wounded, or prisoners. He be-
lieved there were 10000 Beers in the
field. He claimed that 14I00 square
miles of the Transyaal and II, 600 square
miles of the Orange River Colony were
secure from the Beers by the blockhouse
system. He instanced the increased Sc
curity of the railways, which We're cut
thirty-two times in October, ls0u ana
not once In October, 1901. Brodrick an
nounced that he was replacing part of
the army with fresh men largely drawn
from India.
.The country has set ITS teeth ana
intends to go thru the process of wear
ing down." he exclaimed. I'VE intend
to provide Lord Kitchener with fresh
troops to replace the tired ones. Only
today certain colony made an offer OF
help
Dealing with the criticisms of the
army corps commands he touched light
ly upon the case of Gen. Sir Redvers
Butler, who was recently dismissed from
the army. He justified the appointment
of Gen. Sir Evelyn Wood, whose deaf
ness. he said, had existed thruou. his
career, and had not interfered with his
ability as a commander. He announced,
on the duke of Connaught's authority,
the latter's intention to go on active
service when required, the duke saying
that wherever his army corps goes he
will go. This disposes Of the only pub
lished criticism of the dukes appoint
ment, 1t having been supposed that he
would not be allowed to go on active
service, owing to his nearness to the
throne.
The chancellor OF the exchequer, Sir
Michael Hicks-Beach. according to the
Daily Express. contemplates the impo-
sition of further tax of one-half penny
per pound upon sugar.

Navy Paymaster,s Report

Washington, Nov. 14-Paymaster
General A. S. Kenny, in his annual re-
port, recommends that officers OF the
pay corps shall be regularly assigned to
duty as part of the fighting force on
shipboard. He suggests that the pay
officer on board ship should have charge
OF the powder division under the ord
nance office, or Of one section of it when
divided, In which all the personnel of
the mess organization should be sta
toned at quarters. He says that this
would release a, line officer on each ship
now assigned to powder duty. 1t is
stated that during the Spanish war this
plan was actually tried, the pay officer
rendering efficient and satisfactory SER
vice in charge of the powder division in
many cases About seventy pay officers
