company. While the company
consists Of but seven artists, it is
perhaps the best that ever enter

is a former New York City star.
She played in Dolly Warden. She
owned a theatre in ST. Paul, but
this was blown to pieces in the
storm last summer. She is now
touring westward with her COM

voice, which has wonderful range
and power. The entire enter

musical numbers which were we'll

pleased so much that it has
been decided to give it again to-
night at the opera house, and
that building should be filed to
the doors.

and it may happen that an officer has
been tried for offences since that time
and whose record is not strictly speaking,
one Of great credit may be advanced.
One such instance is that of the re-
tired cavalry officer who has been tried
by court martial seven times, all of them
since the war. He was dismissed once
and then restored. There is some curios-
ity to see what will be done in his case.
If Congress adjourns before the nominal
tons are sent in this week. the promo
tiOns cannot be made until next Decem-
Der. unless, of course, there is an extra
session of the Senate for that purpose
There are so many officers concerned and
they are so DESTROYS of getting the advan-
tage of the new law that special effort
may be made to get the names before the
Senate Immediately.
The incident of detailing army retired
officers to active duty will relieve the ser
vice in large measure of the necessity of
detaching officers from regiments for duty
in recruiting depots, no military at
taches on Staff duty and on courts mar
tial and boards. 1t is proposed to employ
in those capacities only the younger Off
GERS OF the retired list, as it is believed
that the older officers are not especially
qualified for the work. The attra ctions of
the duty rest in the fact of full pay and
allowances for those assigned to this
work.

Philadelphia. April 2S-In contrast to
the opinion of Senator Hale, Charles III:
Cramp of the William Cramp 4: Sons Ship
and Engine Building Company does not
believe that the war in the far East has
demonstrated the worthlessness OF battle
ships.
While not directly discussing Senator
Hales remarks in the Senate, Monday,
when he said that the days of the battle
ship as an engine of war are numbered
Mr.. Cramp asserts that the engagements
proved only the value of torpedo boats
against a hostile fleet when in harbor.
Il do not believe" said Mr.. Cramp,
that what we have learned from the war
has shown us that the battleship. the ar
mored cruiser and the protected cruiser
are useless. What we have learned is
that the torpedo boat. under certain con-
ditons, is an important element in modern
warfare. The torpedo gunboat. OF winch

If there had been fleet of torpedo

STARTLING CHARGES
Made Against Miss Clara Barton by
Former Secretary.
Especial to the WORLDLY

especial TO the NOrlt.)
Washington, April 26-Startling charges
involving Miss Clara Barton's handling
of Red Cross funds We're made by John
H. Morlan, of Fairfield, ILL.,. who formerly
was Miss Barton'S confidential secretary.
1T Il hearing before Il committee. headed
by Senator Proctor, which is investiga ting
Red Cross affairs.
Morlans charges related chiefly to thu
collection and disposal of the Russian
famine relief fund. which was collected
in 1892 He said that Miss Barton turned
over to him vouchers and checks. as
they We're received from the donors. to
the amount of about $4,000. Instead of
going to the relief of the famine sufferers
ways
Morlan testified that the farm near
Bedford, which was said to have been
donated to the Red Cross Society by
DR. Joseph Gardner, and which has
been known as the Gardner Donation,
was not a gift, but was bought and paid
for, to half of its value. from the Rus
Gently reverted back to Gardner, the
claim being made that it could not be
made sclf-supporting and that the only
thing to do was to give it back.
Morlan said that Gardner claimed
that the property was worth $4,000, but
that if he was paid about ST. 600 in cash
for it and the public announcement was
made that he had given the whole farm
to the society. he would execute deed
to Miss Barton. Morlan said he came
to Washington to consult Miss Barton
about the proposition and was told by
her to close the deal on Gardeners terms.
The payments followed from the Russian Ii
famine fund
Morlan offered in evidence a bill for
Sl07 for plumbing and repairs on house
in Washington owned by Miss carton,
which he had paid from the famine fund.
His original Endorsement on the bill read:

order OF Miss Barton"

Congresses with Republican Congresses
and added:
The appropriations for each of the ifs
cal years 1855 and 1886 as made by a Dem
ocratic Congress, do not materially vary;
as will be seen. one from the other, and
average only 1894, 19. 602 for each year.
THE table also shows that appropria-
tons for federal expenditures made under
a Republican administration by Repub-
lican Congress for the next fiscal year,
have reached the startling sum of $751;
574, 629. an increase of S2S6. $50. OF over the
average of the last two years under Dem
ocratic control and within a period OF less
than 10 years.
Il do not question the honesty of these
vast appropriations either in their aggre-
gate amount or in their details; but
challenge the wisdom of the policy of the
dominant party that has made these enor-
nous expenditures necessary through the
increase of the military and naval estab
liShrrents, the maintenance of which is al
the expense Of needed improvements such
as river and harbor works and public
buildings.
