Washington, July 14.-General Chaffee
has been relieved Of command In the Phil
ippines and ordered to the command Of
the department of the east by an order
issued to-day by Secretary Root. The
order reads as follows:
By the direction of the president, Major

vision of the Philippines. Sept. 80, 1902. On
being relieved General .Chaffee will with his
aid, repair to Governors Island, New York,
and assume command Of the department Of
the east.
A few days ago General Chaffee was
cabled that he could have either the COM
nand Of the department Of the east or
the department of the lakes If he desired
to come home at this time. He was in
formed that the retirement Of General
Brooke afforded an opportunity Of making
either change he desired. The cablegram
closed with q commendation by the secre-
tary Of war of General Chaffee's services
in China and the Philippines. A reply
was received Saturday from General
Chaffee stating that he left the matter
entirely with the department, but that
he would prefer New York in case he was
relieved in the Philippines. ~ :.
I He suggested that Sept. 80 would be a
good date to make any change in the
command of the Philippines. These dis
patcheh were sent to President Roose-
velt at Oyster Bay, who consulted with
Secretary Root and the secretary directed
the. order to be issued relieving General
Chaffee and placing General Davis in
command. -If e = p - N .r5.. :.

ALL SUMNER
District Judges Willing to
Clean Up All Police
Cases.
Mayor Ames Asks Immedi-
ate Trial or Delay
e Both Denied.

Judge Simpson announced this morn.
ing that the district court would sit all
summer or as long as necessary to dispose
Of the police corruption cases. He said
that he and the other judges were agreed
and would hear as many cases as the
county attorney, was willing to move.
Judge Simpson has the calendar for the
present, but if he should be overworked,
other judges are ready to take up the
work. .sE.- h..
All the police bribery cases were
continued until next Monday. morning to
allow County Attorney Boardman to in
form himself thoroughly as to the eyi-
dence. When Judge Simpson convened
court this morning the request for
weeks continuance was made by Mr..
Boardman. He stated that not having
been in attendance on the grand Jury
when the police matters were being in
vestigated he was not familiar with the
evidence and had to prepare himself. One
of his assistants had been obliged to
leave the city in order to recuperate from
the strain caused by his work, and the
absence was particularly felt at present
The absence from the city of certain
other persons had further disarranged
the plans of the state
Mayor Ames looked very poorly this
morning when he appeared in Judge
Simpsons courtroom to take part in the
proceedings against him. It was stated
by Mr.. Jackson that Mayor An1es was not
a we'll man by any means and that it was
on that account that immediate trial or
long postponement was wanted. If q
trial could be held Immediately he could
get through within few days and would
thus be enabled to get away for the rest
his system demands. If the case was
continued two weeks or more DR.. Ames
would then go away, take his treatment
and return for his trial
The court and county attorney would
not consent to immediate trial or even
| to5a continuance for two weeks. The
Judge. said that cases would be taken
Fin order. - e ..
| The county attorney could not say
whether or not he would take up the case
lagainst the mayor next Monday, as he
had not yet fully decided.
Malone Motion Delayed.
/ 1t was the intention of Judge Simpson
| to5 hear the motion ofrFred Malone's at
I terpey to auash the indictments against
him but the attorneys were not ready to
argue the matter. The hearing has been
deferred until next Wednesday morning.
| Joe Cohen Coming.
| Joseph Cohen's friends are now In com
munication with him and they say that
at 1.-The proper time he will appear for
Iarraignment and trial. But that time will
not be until public clamor has abated a
bit They say they do not ask that his
| trial shall go over to the fall term, but
they do want enough of a delay to assure
| that, he will get fair trial. Cohen's
friends decline to say where he is.

After the short lived raid in July corn
the market quieted down to a weak and
heavy affair. There was some talk that
the directors of the board would enact a

40 Wholesale houses make practically no
attempt to send out freight or to receive
it. These big establishments are all but
closed down. The strike has cost them
hundreds of thousands of dollars already
and they stand to lose millions should the
conditions which obtained this morning
continue. The losses in wages to the
striking freight handlers and their sym
pathizers, the teamsters, to the railroads

which he said:

Previous to meeting the committees the
railroad managers and superintendents
held meeting among themselves They
remained of the mind that IL cents is a
proper compromise between the t16 cents
paid and the 18 cents asked originally by
the truckers. This unanimity of opinion
among the managers is taken in explana-
