OBJ OF SERVICE
WOOD is THE ONLY MAJOR GEN.
ERAL LEFT.
SHAFTER READY TO RETIRE
YOUNG Is GOING INTO THE REGU-
LARS-A GOOD NUMBER OF
BRIGADIERS.

Washington, March 21.-Two major
geuerals still remain of the volunteer es-
tablishment. General Shafter however,
will accept his commission as ma jor gen.
eral on the retired list on the arrival of
General Young at San Francisco, who
will assume command of the department
of California. This will leave General
Wood as the last of the major generals
of the volunteer army. He already has
accepted promotion in the regular army
as brigadier general, but can retain his
present volunteer rank until the first of
July if he prefers and there is no objec-
tion from the war department. AS the
volunteer commission gives him increas-
ed pay as we'll as rank, he will no doubt
continue as major general of volunteers
until his commission expires under the
law. There are now eight volunteer
brigadier generals and it is expected that
nearly all of them Will retain their vol
unteer rank until the expiration of the
law. They will all be on active duty
during this time either in the Philip
pines or at home. Some of these volun-
teer brigadiers are now on their way
home from the Philippines.

JEFF IN The ROLE
OF GRIZZLY BEAR
CRUSHES THE RIBS OF A BURLY
ASSAILANT IN HIS BRAWNY
hug.

Chicago, March 21.--Jack Bull" Fla
herty. local saloon keeper, who is wei
known in pugiistic circles, having man.
aged several fighters and seconded a
number Of others, made an attempt to
slug champion fighter Jim Jeffries. but
wound up by getting himself badly
hurt The encounter took place in
front of the Academy of Music. L:
seems that Flaherty had been brooding
over the fact that he had lost $500 on
Tom Sharkey in the latters fight with
Jeffries He had become pretty welr
reconciled. however. to the loss of the
money up to the time the bill-boards
announced the appearance of the cham
pion at West Side playhouse. Then
it was that Flaherty decided upon wha.
he thought the best way to square things
with the man who had Inundated him
and incidentally whipped Sharkey.
Just as Jeffries stepped out of the main
entrance OF the Academy of Music Fla
herty stepped in front of him and swur =
his ponderous right to the jaw of the
champion. Surprised into leaving a good
opening. Jeffries caught the blow just
back of the ear and it staggered him a
bit. Flaherty came back with a hot left,
aimed at the same point. Then there
was trouble for Flaherty. The cham
pion blocked the second punch and gath
cred the large form of the saloon keeper
in his hear-like embrace.
When Jeffries' -brawny arms closed
around Flaherty, the saloon keeper yelled
for help. 1t came in the form of a po.
liceman, who pried the men apart, but
not before Jeffries had almost squeezed
the life out of Flaherty.

Movement to Check Its
Ravages.

Washington, March 21.-An extensive
project is likely to take form in few
days for an International congress of
representative scientists, sanitarians and
doctors of the United States. Central and
South America. for the purpose of con-
sidering plans for the eradication of yell
low fever. not SO much by cure as by
prevention. The plan took form recent
ly at the medical congress at Havana,
when the Argentine minister at Wash
ington, DR.. Wise. suggested an inter-
national convention Of this character. AS
part of the project he proposed the rais-
ing of a common fund, to be assigned
to various localities, to carry on the work
of sanitation. which is said to insure
the eradication Of this disease. The
congress approve the plan and now steps
are being taken for a practical realiza-
tion Of the proposed congress. The invi-
tations will be issued from Havana.

situation here remains unchanged. Both
the British and Russia abstain from any
overt acts of hostilities. There are about

NAVAL BATTLE
FOR NEW YORK
CAREFUL TESTS OF THELATEST
WAR MATERIALS.
AN ELABORATE SHAM BATTLE
WAR SHIPS WILL TRY TO ENTER
Observation-Disclosures AND
TONS OF POWDER.

New York. March 21.-Within the past
few days the war department has taken
the first steps toward carrying out what
will be a most interesting test of war
material to take place in New YORK
harbor during the coming summer. The
experiments will constitute thorough
and practical test of the adopted system
of fire control as it is technically called,
in other words, the direction of the guns
from 12-inch guns down to the 5-inch
rapid fire guns.
One of the most interesting points to
be determined is the relative merits OF
the vertical and horizontal range find
ers. A portion of the test will con-
sst of firing at targets, and this Will
naturally be done with service prOjecti-
cles and powder. The object will be to
determine how closely the range and
position finders have located the targets.
Another part of the test and without
question the most interesting from q
spectacular point Of view, will be that
portion wherein the navy will be asked
to cooperate. This will consist in an
attempt on the part of one or more war
vessels to enter the upper harbor of
New York unmOlested by the fire from
the formidable forts on each side of the
Ain1 AoN LII tIilo ease lue IIc lIOHl DOLu
contestants will be with blank cartridges,
though the powerful searchlights of the
forts and vessels will add realism to the
night attack. This PART of the coming
test will be quite similar to the maneu-
vers conducted last fall in Narraagnsett
bay. in which the value of the search
light was so well demonstrated that con-
gress at it's last session appropriated the
sum of $150,O0O to supply them for New
York harbor alone.
It is anticipated that quite a distin-
guished party of officials will be present
during the tests, including the secretary
of war and possibly the secretary of the
navy. The tests will be conducted under
the general direction of the board of
ordnance and fortification.

PEACE WAS HIS MISSION.
German Field Marshal Quieted the
Railroad Warriors.

Berlin, March 21.-The correspondent
of the Associated Press has learned
from good authority that Count Won
Waldersee during his stay in Tien Tsin
yesterday succeeded in his mission
which consisted merely in preventing
bloodshed among the allied troops. Be
yond this it is claimed in official cir
cles Germany will remain perfectly neu-
trail.
According to Russian accounts which
have reached Berlin the question at
issue in Tien Tsin is not controversial
and the Russian claims to the territory
where the trouble occurred are indis-
putable. Besides the Russian flag, it is
said, Russian boundary marks were ex-
hibited which the British soldiers did
not respect.

LIKE AN ULTlMATUM,
Wogack's Letter to British General
Was a Strong One.

New York, March 2l.71A special to the
Herald from Tien Tsn says
1t now transpires that at the very mo-
ment of Count Won Waldersee's arrival
here General Wogack, acting upon in
structions from the Russian imperial
government made formal demand on
General Campbell to withdraw the Brit
ish troops from the disputed territory
He also demanded an apology from the
British commander for alleged trespass
of his force.
Up to the present time General Wo-
gack has received no reply excepting a
simple acknowledgement of the receipt
of his demand, which, it is said, is
couched in language which resembled
an ultimatum.

SHOOTING AT OFFICIALS.

New York, March Accommodating on
the Associated Press dispatch from st.
Petersburg that another high official has
been shot at, the Herald says:
In view of the control exercised by
the Russian authorities upon telegraph
ic dispatches, the fact that dispatch
worded like the foregoing has been per-
mitted to leave the country suggests
many possibilities.
First and foremost, attention centers
on the chief personality in the domin-
ions. the czar himself, the more especial

was due to British troops trying to

Great Lakes-A Great :.
Journey.

Washington, March 21.-The presidents
proposed western trip is attracting much
attention in the states through which
he is to pass. and invitations from va.
rious cities and towns which hone to
entertain him along the route are daily
arriving at the white house. To-day
Representative Meyer of Louisiana pre.
sented to the president the formal in
vitatiOn of the governor of his state and

Orleans. Representative Burison saw
the president and invited him to visit

the Texas capital.
Secretary Cortelyou has been working
on the itinerary, but practically noth-
ing of a definite character has been de-
cided upon. On leaving New Orleans

Houston and the present expectation is
that meeting with President Diaz of
Mexico, will be arranged al Ell Paso. The
trip Through California will include a
visit to the big trees. At San Francisco
the party will stop week in connection
with the events attending the launching
OF the battleship Ohio On the return
