MELVILLE WILL REST
CHIEF OF THE BUREAU OF STEAM
ENGINEERING RETIRES.
Father of the Turbine Idea as APP
piled to the American N~avy-Rear
Admiral Rae Succeeds Him.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Rear Admiral
George w. Melville, who was retired for
age last January, ~relinquished his duties
as chief of the bureau of steam engineer
ing to-day, and was succeeded by Rear
Admiral Charles w. Rae. Because of con-
spicuous services as engineer in chief, Sec
rotary Moody requested Rear Admiral Mel
vile to serve out his tour of duty as chief
CT the bureau, which expired to-day.
Throughout the morning the engineer in
chief was saying goodbye to the many
navy officers. army officers and friends who
called to extend their good wishes. 1t so
happened that the last paper which Rear
Melville signed as engineer in
chief was a tentative plan for the range
ment of the turbine engines in the pro-
posed scoutships.
Admiral Melville has been at work on
the turbine project for several years, being
the father OF the turbine idea, as applied
to the American navy. He said to-day:
The pleasure accorded me this day more
than compensates for all the trials and
tribulations and disappointments of the last
sixteen years. And the congratulations of
my friends is sufficient balm TO heal the
wounds at parting with them"
Admiral Melville left to-day for Phila-
delphia, where he will make his home.

WOMAN TO GIVE "TIPS"
CAROLINE I. GRIESHEIM WILL TALK
TO INDIANA POSTMASTERS.
Government Clerk whose Mission Is
to Give Pointers ON the Civil
Service Law and Routes.

Special to the indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Caroline /.
Griesheim, a clerk in the employ of the
Civil-service Commission, has been sent on
a tour of inspection by the commission.
She Will visit Indiana, Ohio and other
States and expects to be gone about twenty
days. Her nominal object is to confer with
the local civil-service boards of the various
States, see how their work is getting
along and give them any instructions that
may be necessary, but it is known that
the real object of her tour of inspection is
especially to talk with the postmasters Of
the various towns and give them a few
pointers on the civil-service laws and rules
and point out to them what can and what
cannot be done.
These timely tips to postmasters are of
interest because of the recent revelations
of the failure of postmasters in many cases
to observe the letter of the law in regard
to appointmnts and in other cases to disre-
gard the spirit of the law. Miss Griesheim's
trip is sure to attract much attention and
the employees of the POstoffice Department
are wondering whether there will be any
dismissals of present imcumbents as a re-
suit of her missionary work.

BOER OFFICER in CITY
CAPT. w. 8. O'DONNELL is PROMOT-
ING COLONY IN MEXICO.
One Hundred Boer Families Will Set
tie i'm State of Tampiaus on
100000 Acres of Land.

Cant. w. S. O'Donnell, an officer in the
recent Boer war, who is now promoting the
Boer colony in Mexico, is in Indianapolis,
stopping off a few days on his way from
New York to Chicago. Captain O'Donnell
served through the entire three years OF the
Boer war under General De Wet, the great
Boer officer, and was in all the important
battles of the war. On several occasions ne
was injured and as a result will carry scars
the remainder of his life.
Captain O'Donnell, with General Joubert,
another Boer officer, represent a Boer
colony which will soon emigrate to Mexico,
where the two officers have been since the
1st of January making preparations for
their settlement. They secured a tract of
1,OO0,OO acres in the State of Tamaulipas,
which Captain O'Donnell says is the rich
est land he has ever seen. They secured
the land from the Mexican government at a
price of So an acre, including 5000 head of
cattle and 1000 mules and horses, and are
free from duties, taxes and military service
for fifteen years. The land is to be paid for
in twelve installments, the first not falling
due until the end of two years.
Captain O'Donnen said that they had
made an effort TO secure land for their
colony in America, but were unable to on
account of the high price Of land. AS yet
no settlements have been made, but by the
first of the year one hundred Boer families
will be on their way to the new colony,
where they will AVE freedom and peace.
The tract of land is near the seaport of
TampaciO and is on the sea, so that. the
emigrants will have a port OF their own.
The country is free from sickness and fever,
as a great sewer system has recently been
put in and the diseases that formerly were
prevalent nave disappeared.
General Jaubert is now in New York max
ing further arrangements for the emigration
with Senator Butler, of North Carolina, and
Senator Pettigrew, of South Dakota, both
of whom are much interested in the move
ment and are the financial backing.
Captain O'Donnell is going TO Chicago to
make arrangements for the publication of a
book written by himself n Generai-Jau-
bert. 1t is a history of the Boer war and
is entitled, "A True Story of the Boer
War; fully illustrated with all the pictures
of the leading generals. He will be in In
dianapolis until Monday. If necessary,
Captain O'Donnell and General Jaubert will
return to Africa and assist the families in
moving when the time comes Until
then they win remain in America.

CELEBRATE AT HEIDELBERG.
Centenary OF the R~eopening Of the
University IL Observed.


BERLIN, Aug. S.-The University of
Heidelberg has been celebrating for several
days the centenary of its reopening. The
directors of many Austrian and Swiss uni
v~ersities have been present. Prof.
Hugo Munsterberg represents Har-
ward University. The Grand Duke and
Crown Primo Of Baden and Prince
Max are attending. while the many
strangers include large numbers Of Amer
leans. On Thursday the Grand Duke of
Baden delivered an address pointing out
that the professors of a century ago awak-
ened the patriotic sentiments of students
and their action resulted in the creation of
a national spirit and the movement for a
united Germany. Professor Maroks yester-
day delivered the principal historical ora
ton on The University in the Nineteenth
Century" 1t treated chiefly of the univer-
sity's role in introducing liberalism into
Germany. There was a grand torchlight
procession of students Thursday evening
and last night the old school was illumin-
ated with Chinese lanterns and Bengal fires.
Professor Pickering, of Harvard Univer-
sity, has been given the honorary degree
OF Doctor of Sciences and Mathematic in
connection with the celebrations.

ISLANDS MAY VANISH.
Low Archipelago and the Tuamotu
Group Again stormswept.

PAPEETE, Tahiti, July %. via San Fran
cisco, Aug. Sit would seem that the ninety
islands known variously as the Low Archi-
peligo and the Tuamotu group, are des-
tined to be reclaimed by the Pacific ocean.
Last January they were swept by a flood.
and in consequence nearly 5000 Of the in
habitants of the islands were drowned and
property to the value of one-half a million
dollars was destroyed. And. now six months
later. fierce gales from the southwest and
southeast have again caused great crests
to sweep over the islands. So far only four
persons are believed to have persisted, but
the fear Is great that when all the islands
are cleared there may be a distressing list
of fatalities. The steamer Excelsior suf-
fered much amage during the series of
gales while she was on her way from the
Tahita to the Marquesas group.
Three of the Tuamotu island were under
water to such an extent that the inhabitants
had to climb cocoanut trees for safety.
Houses and buildings and finally the cocoa
nut trees were destroyed, while the inhabi-
tants had a close call TO death. 1T Is thought
that most of the islands OF the group were
visited by the storm.

MOVEMENT is SPREADING.
Insurrection I'm Macedonia Appears
to he Growing Wider.

Insurfect1Ou IN maceuOnla appears
to BE Growing Wider.
CONSTANTINOPLE, Aug. S.-The insur-
rectionary movement in Macedonia appears
to be widening. Bands are reported to be
active in the sanjack of Uskub, and the
district of Krushevo. where the govern
ment telegraph offices have been dyna-
mited; while in the district of Dibra, four
Bulgarian villages have risen, provoking
a corresponding rising in the neighboring
Albanian villages. According to the state
ments of the Porte, however, the authori-
ties have succeeded i'm calming the Alba
mans and inducing them to return to their
homes.
The diplomats here are uneasy, fearing
that the trouble may spread outside the
bounds of Macedonia. So long as the
trouble is confined to the usual skirmish-
ing bands and occasional dynamite out
RACES it is not believed that there will be
any serious cause for alarm. Up 70 the
present the action OF the embassies has
been confined to advising. the Porte to pre-
vent the Mussulman population from en-
gaging in fights with the insurgents.
Twelve battaions of Redifs, in the sanjack
of Serfj and the viliayet OF Monastir have
been called out.

forces during the South African war fills a
bulky blue book. The commissioners ex-
press the opinion that there is no connec-

parative immunity Of the Beers from en-
teric fever is attributed to the boiling of the
drinking water. The committee finds that
flies were the active agents in the dissem-
nation of enteric fever in standing camps.
1t is calculated hat enteric fever during

KING PETER TERRORIZED.
Publishes an appointment, but Re
calls 1t Almost Immediately.

COLOGNE. Aug. Skiing Peter, of Ser
via. is being openly terrorized by his en-
tourage. according to the Belgrade advices
of the Cologne Gazette. Most of the pres
ent court officials, who actually participated
in and were rrivy to the murder of King
Alexander and Queen Draga, says the cor
respondent, appear to have strongly OBJ
jected 10 the appointment of Colonel Lesch-
janin, the Servian attache at Constanti-
nople, to the post of court marshal. The
Official Gazette yesterday contained the
appointment, but shortly after it's publica-
ton all copies of the Gazette were called in
by the rolice, and a second issue appeared
from which ~Leschjanin's name was elimi-
mated. Leschjanin is a brother-in-law of
the minister of fnance who was court
marshal until the late King Alexander's
marriage.

WHAT WILL FERDINAND DO.
For Him to Decide Whether There
Shall BE Peace or War.

VIENNA, Aug. S.-One of the most prom
inent figures in the Balkan situation is
Prince Ferdinand of Bulgaria, upon whose
attitude at the present juncture peace or
war is believed to largely depend. If he
elects to continue the policy desired by
the powers the disturbance may be con-
fined to a few skirmishes and dynamite
outrages, and a Turko-Bulgarian war may
be averted this year, at any rate. At the
same time it is recognized that the in
c~reasing pressure of the revolutionary COM
mittees may force him to take action.
King Peter of Servia is a new and I'M
known factor in the situation, but in view
of his age, reputation for prudence, and
his friendship for Austria 1t is thought I'M
likely that he will take any step to add
TO the existing complications

OYSTER BAY, N. ", Aug. S.-Ambassa-
dor Won Sternberg is still the guest of the
President at Sycamore Hill. This afternoon
President and Mrs. Roosevelt, with Am
bassador Won Sternberg and two or three
of the Roosevelt boys, went on horseback
to Jaynes hill, several miles away. Later
they were joined by members of the sew

riages. The entire party enjoyed a delight
full out-of-door luncheon.
The President and Ambassador Won
Sternberg, in their rifle practice yesterday,
barred the use of both AmeriUn and Ger

the rifles. At the 100-yard range the score
was a tie. The President defeated the am

but at the 400-yard range the ambassador
turned the tables on the President, defeat
ing him by 9 points.
