ARMY WARMANEUVERS
MARRIED BY RAIN AT FORT
RILEY.
Original Plan, However, Was Carried
Outflow the Forces Were
Divided.

FORT RILEY, Kan. September 29.-Rain
marred the maneuvers today, and although
they were carried out as originally planned,
the troops moved out In a steady down.
pour which continued with but slight in
tervals throughout the morning.
The military problem of the day came as
near toward presenting the picture of a
battle as anything is likely to do through
out the entire two weeks that the troops
are to remain in camp.
The Browns consisted Of the 18th and
22d Regiments of Infantry. with a comple-
ment Of artillery and two squadrons of the
4th Cavalry under Colonel Miller, and the
blues were made up of the balance Of the
regular forces. None of the National
work of the day. The Browns after NOV
ing out early in the morning, took position
on the upper part Of Three Mile creek
about three miles from Camp Root.
Colonel Miller was informed that the
Blues were moving toward Hay Camp
Springs, north Of Camp Root and decided
to move out at once and attack, capture
the enemy. If possible, or at least intercept
his line Of retreat through Junction City.
The Browns moved from their position on
Three Mile creek at 9:15 o'clock, and it
was nearly noon before the forces came
into contact. There was very sharp fight
the recall and the march was taken up to-
ward camp
AS usual, there was no decision, and no
victory was declared in favor of either side,
the work and instructions being the object
desired.

TRAINS RUNNING REGULARLY.
Report From Vice Consul Ehrman at
Panama.

The Navy Department is advised OF the
receipt Of a cable dispatch from Vice Con-
sui Ehrman at Panama, which states that
the trains are running regularly over the
Panama railroad. and 10 disturbance Is ap-
pretended Occasionally bands of insur-
gents are seen along the line OF road but
thew offer no obstacle to the operation OF
the trains.
The consurs dispatch was as follows:
PANAMA, September %.
Trains running regular. In the last few
DAYS bands of Tevolutionists have been
seen on the line Of the railroad. Governor
has protested against the landing of Amer
leans EHSMAN.
1t is gathered from the above that the
protest referred to was directed 70 Com
rander Mclean Of the Cincinnati during
the course Of his recent visit TO Panama.
At any rate, no protest has come to the
State Department through any diplomatic
channel. Therefore It is proposed to regard
this matter for the present as one for the
disposition Of the naval authorities on the
!sthmus who are regarded as better fitted
to Judge of the necessity for the presence
at all of the marines than any one here.

Mr.. Christof Declares It Will Arouse
Ali Europe.

CHICAGO, September 29.-"There have
been other revoits in Macedonia and great
many attempts at uprising against the
Turkish government, but efforts now being
planned will arouse Europe" said Theodore
Christoff of Kanzanlk, Bulgaria, last night.
This uprising being planned when 1
left my country in the early summer, and
1t has been truly said that the conditions in
Macedonia and In some of the other Turk
ish territories are such to arouse the
Russians to assist the Mecedonians in any
effort TO free themselves from the Turkish
yoke. The sultan has repeatedly promised
the Maceionians that they shall have au-
tonony and self government, ecknowledg
ing, of course. his sovereignty and his
right to levy taxes, but he has never done
even that"

Last Weeks Coal SHIPMENTS.

POTTSVILLE. Pa. September 29.-The
shipments of coal last week from the Phila-
delphia and Reading West End operations,
Good Spring and Brookside collieries and
the Kalmia washery were not as great as
the week previous. but there are seventy
cars which were loaded last week and are
on the sidings ready to be taken down the
road. 1t is claimed there are $4,000 tons Of
lose coal in Good Spring colliery alone that
can be prepared for market without a miner
driving a pick. This comes from what are
called runs" The veins are an incline
and the coal. after a quantity is removed
below begins to run to the gangway
Owing to the high price of coal the culm
banks will probably be more profitable than
ever. The Philadelphia and Reading Coal
and Iron Company has surveyors at work
designating sites for the erection Of wash
cries at different points. Among these are
Swatara and Donaldson. where great cum
banks exist that were dumped forty years
ago and are one-half coal.

RECENT REPORTS DENIED.
Not More Than One Man Submitted
for Germany's Consideration.

Not More Than One Man Submitted
for Germany's Consideration.
Now that the important diplomatic
changes in European stations have been
made it is stated that at no time during
the tendency Of the applications for trans
fer was the name of more than one person
submitted to the government of any one
European country as a possible ambassador
or minister. Report had it at one time that
for the Berlin post no less than three
names. those Of Mr.. Tower, Mr.. Storer and
DR.. Hill. the assistant secretary Of state
had been submitted to the German foreign
Office to learn If each or any Of them would
be acceptable. AS a matter OF fact the only
name so brought to the attention of the
German chancellor was that of Mr.. Tower
who was ultimately appointed ambassador
TO Berlin.
The custom has grown up. based on the
desire to avoid such an unpleasant incident
as would arise from the refusal of gov
ernment to receive an ambassador or min
ister to first informally sound that gov
ernment to ascertain whether the projected
appointment is acceptable, for the right Of a
government to challenge such an appoint
ment has never been questioned. But to
submit more than one name at the same
time to the same government would be
tantamount to inviting that government to
deprive the President Of constitutional
right of selection. and that was not done in
the case OF the Berlin embassy.
It Is believed that the changes in the dip
lomatic service reported last week will be
followed soon by at least two others. Mr.
Henry White. secretary Of embassy to Lon
don, whose name did not appear In last
weeks list, Is still regarded as in line to
receive an important ministry or even en-
bassy, though whether his chances incline
toward Rome, where Mr. Meyer Is reported
to be about to relnquish his post to satisfy
political aspirations, or to Caracas, where
Minister Bowen Is impatiently waiting for
transfer, cannot now be predicted

TEMPERATURE NORMAL
CONDITION OF THE PRESIDENTS
WOUND SATISFACTORY.
Statement Given Out by Secretary Cor
telyou-Many Inquiries at Tenn
porary White House.

President Roosevelt is no weaker from
the reopening of the wound in his leg yes
terday, and his temperature today was nor
NAL. A statement given out by Secretary
Cortelyou shortly before noon covered the
condition of the President fully and showed
that his case Is most satisfactory. The
statement, which follows, was made after
Drs. Rixey, Lung. O'Reilly and Shaffer had
dressed the wound and found 1t in about
the shape they had expected:
Condition of Wound.
1.-The condition of the wound is satisfac-
tory. Temperature this morning is nor
NAL. The patient slept well and at present
is occupying a rolling chair. He Is cheer
full and from the beginning has shown
neither impatience nor restlessness. but has
carried out the directions Of the physicians
with scrupulous care. Since the use of the
aspirating needle to evacuate the sac. on
the 22d instant, which left no wound, there
has been no operation until yesterday"
The physicians were at the temporary
White House on Jackson place about three
quarters of an hour. The slight rise in the
temperature, noted yesterday before the
second operation, had disappeared this
morning and this was considered especially
favorable by the physicians.
The physicians insist today that the con-
dition of the Presidents wound gives no
continues cheerful and seemingly regards
the wound as trivial matter.
Many Callers and Messages.
The fact that second operation was nee
essary evidently caused considerable appre-
hension in the public mind, as the number
Of callers who stopped at the temporary
White House was larger than on any pre-
vious day since the President returned to
Washington. A considerable number of
kilograms also were received. To all re-
assuring replies were sent.
Dr. Schaffer will remain here several
days.
Among the callers today were Governor
Postmaster General Payne, Representatives
Dalzell of Pennsylvania and Lessler Of
New York, Superintendent Merriam of the
census and Commissioner Of the General
Land Office Hermann. Only Governor
Crane and the two members of the cabinet
were admitted to the Presidents bed room.
After the physicians had gone over the
case the President had his chair rolled TO
the big front room overlooking Lafayette
Square and remained there reading or talk
ing Postmaster General Payne and Gov
ernor Crane called upon him and
were int him some time. Governor
Crane was in the accident at Pitts
field when the President received the hurt
Crane was only slightly hurt although
badly shaken up, and has suffered no after
effects Mr.. Payne will soon take up big
batch of post office appointments and when
the President is better will go over them
with him.

Has Gone to New York to Discuss Gus
toms Matters With the Collector.

Secretary Shaw Is in New York today
and it is stated that he Is there to talk
over some customs matters with Collector
Stranahan 1t is also likely that he will
investigate for himself the condition OF
financial affairs in the city.
The recent talk of Secretary Shaw re-
signing from the cabinet because of alleged
differences with the President brings out a
fact of much interest in connection with
the present head Of the Treasury Depart
ment. This is that President Mckinley
gave serious consideration to the name OF
Mr.. Shaw for a position in his cabinet, and
intended to appoint him to portfolio II he
had lived. President Mckinley told both
Speaker Henderson and Mr.. Kasson that
he intended to offer Mr.. Shaw place in
his cabinet regarding him as one Of the
ablest republicans in the country and a
man thoroughly fitted for advisory
capacity to the chief executive of the
country.

apparently worn out and in bad health. He
firmly refused to do SO. having an intense
hatred for any sort Of "coddling." but he
has now been obliged to announce to his
brother officers that ''the doctors have got
me at last"
