action OF state Department on q
South African Claim


In obedience to the request contained In
the Senate resolution of the Dist instant
the President yesterday transmitted to that
body the correspondence bearing upon the
claim Of r. E. Brown. a citizen of the
United states, against the South African
republic. Most of the papers transmitted
had been printed hitherto, but the Sccre
tary of State makes a report upon the sub-
Ject. in which he says: With a letter da ted
July IL. 1888, Mr.. Brown fled with the De-
partment OF State an extended memorial
alleging that denial of justice had been
committed in a case to which he was a
party. by the supreme court of the republic
or South Africa, caused by the interference
OF the executive. While from the showing
made there appeared to be grounds Of com
plant, yet on account of the outbreak of
war shortly afterward and of the disap-
pearance OF the organized government of
the South African republic which followed
the Department OF State DELAYED taking
definite action until there should be either
q restoration Of that government or a new
government definitely organized upon whom
request might be made, If proper for
payment of the claim il II should finally
appear that the claim was we'll founded
and that all judicial remedies had been ex-
hausted for the correction of the alleged
error in the decision of the court. In the
meantime there appears to be no organized
government Of that republic upon which
the demand can be made; and this govern
ment has not yet been advised Of the es-
Enlistment OF new government with
courts organized and authorized to assume
jurisdiction Of cases pending before or
decided by the courts of the South Afri-
can republic
The only other original communication in
cluGed among the documents Is a request
on Mr. Browns part for interview
ton by this government with Great
Britain for the payment of the claim on the
ground that the territory OF the South At
rican republic has been annexed to Great
Britain.

To the New York fire department, gen.
orally admitted to be the most progressive
and effective fire-fghting organization in
this or any other country. there are at
tached two chaplains, one Protestant and
the other a Roman Catholic clergyman.
These two officers hold the rank of chief
of battalion. The office, however Is an
honorary one. salary being attached
thereto. In the event of a big fire it is
said to be their duty to repair to the scene
for the purpose of administering to men,
hers of the department who may be injured,
as we'll as to others who are badly hurt
and desire spiritual consolation.
At fire in New York the other day q
fireman, while endeavering to rescue per-
sons from q burning building, fell several
stories and was picked up in dying con-
dition. The Catholic chaplain attended the
poor fellow and administered to him the
last sacrament. This incident has led Com
missioner Macfarland, who has immediate
supervision of The District fire department,
TO consider the advisability of recommend
ing to his associates the making Of such
honorary offices in the local department.
OF course, there would be no salary at
tached to the positions, and 1t is under
stood that in the event Of the creation OF
the positions by the Commissioners they
would be dependent upon such clergymen
might volunteer their services. AS Is
done in New York, the Commissioners
would also select a Protestant clergyman
and one of the Catholic faith, and the
chaplains would be expected to hold them
selves in readiness to respond, day or night
to any call made upon them. 1t is only al
long intervals that members Of the fire
department have the opportunity to attend
religious services, being released from quar-
tiers only every sixth day. and the chap
lains could therefore visit the different COM
panes and hold brief services. as a veneer
able Episcopalian clergyman has done here
for some time.

Bravery Of Regiment.
Many incidents relating to the personal
bravery OF various officers and men were
recounted by the general, ana continuing
he said:
ct Aave been frequently asked what Incl
dents Of bravery during the war made the
deepest impression on my mind. have
thought Of Lawton and Liscum and Capron
and others. and finally determined that !
could not settle upon any one man-that
it belonged to regiment. In company with
newspaper correspondent 1 was out one
night riding about, and presently we heard
singing. The hymn began: How firm a
foundation, We saints of the Lord. As the
ring out clear, Fear not, am with you.
The command was the oath Regiment. COM

the way to Siboney to take charge of the
yellow fever hospital there. They reached
their destination the next morning, and
upon being paraded, the colonel said: Il
want sixty nurses for the yellow fever pa
tients. 1 will make no detail, and volun-
teers will step two PAGES to the 'front.'
Instantly every man In the regiment
stepped forward. The desired number were
secured. Three days later forty-two of the
sixty were down with the fever, and again
the regiment was pdrdQeu anu again HuTScS
fifty this time-were called for. Again
the whole command offered its services.
Following the Surrender.
Gen. Harries also spoke of the scenes
following the surrender of Santiago. and
told how. when the men had been forbidden
to cheer. they waved their handkerchiefs
in the most violent manner.
1t had been his lot in the dim past to be
the leader of volunteer church choir, and
when the surrender became officially known
and the soldiers were permitted to give
vent to their feelings, he raised his saber
and called upon the band of the regiment
to play my Country IT'S of Thee" the
men singing the words The order was
obeyed and the singing spread from regi-
merit to regiment until 10000 men. occupy
ing line six miles in length, were singing
the well-known anthem.
At the close of his address the general
was, upon motion of Judge Kimball, ten
dered a vote of thanks. and, after ad-
journment, he was warmly congratulated.
Previous to the beginning Of Gen. Har-
ries' address business meeting of the club
was held and resolutions regretting the
death of Col. F. r. Hilder were adopted.
