American Legion of Honor.

Henry A. Wyman was yesterday ap-
pointed permanent receiver of the Su-
preme Council Of the American Legion
of Honor, a beneficiary organization,
with headquarters in Boston. The in
surance commissioners claimed that the
condition of the organization was such as
to render its continuance hazardous to
the public. A few weeks ago the supreme
council ofthe organization applied to the
state insurance department for Sill, 900
of the emergency fund kept on deposit
with the state treasurer, in order that the
association might meet death claims then
pending. This request was refused. The
emergency fund in the state treasury
amounts to $500, 900. One hundred
Thousand dollars of this is represented by
real estate in Boston. State Insurance
Commissioner Cutting says that there is
a deficiency OF so, 900 in the organiza-
tons financial standing, as accounted
for June 90. He also said that death
claims aggregating 5000, 900 remained
unpaid.

Taylor, of Huron, n. Y, colored, and
Mrs. Useba Morton, a white woman,
were married at Clyde on July 80 by
Rev. Frank Hines, pastor of the Baptist
church, after Rev. j. j. Edwards, OF
the Methodist church, had declined to
perform the ceremony. Following the
iatter's refusal, Mrs. Morton painted her
face and hands black and in that way
deceived the second clergyman. They
returned to Huron after the ceremony.
The residents of that village are greatly
aroused over the affair.

The Demands of the United States


Paris, Aug. 13.-The newspaper
Patrie today prints an interview with
Nabi Bey, counsellor of the Turkish
embassy in Paris, regarding the Porte's
objections to the demands Of the United
States. He is quoted as saying: "We
consider the demands unreasonable and
mere pretexts to aggrayate the situation.
The privileges demanded for American
missionaries would not aid them, as they
are much scattered. These missionaries
injure us, as they are elements of dis
cord. We have positive evidence indi-
eating that they work with the Arme-
nian agitators. AS to the erection OF an
American legation or embassy we be-
lieve the United States wants this so as
to be on the same footing as the other
powers, only they wish to have freer
hand in Ottoman affairs" Heimplied,
however, that the Porte would yield to
Americas demands.
London, Aug. ia dispatch from
Constantnople says United States Min
lister Leishman had an interview today
with Foreign Minister Tew6k Pacha,
and renewed his request for an i'm
mediate settlement of the American de-
mands as to the rights of American
citizens in Turkey. Tewfkl Pacha, after
the interview, went at once to the palace.
The dispatch adds that developments
deciding the matter one way or the other
are expected today. Either the porte
will grant the demands in toto or Minis
ter Leishman will break of diplomatic
relations, handing in his passports.

Recent Naval Battle.

London, Aug. lo.-lne OmclalS vi
the japanese legation here have received
from Toxic, under date of August IL,
the report sent by Admiral Togo regard
ing the recent engagement with the Rus
sion squadron which attempted to escape
from Port Arthur The report says:
Give Of the six Russian battleships
which were engaged by the japanese
feet on Aug. 10, are believed to be seri-
ously damaged. The Pobieda's masts
were broken off and her big guns ceased
working before the battle was over. The
Retvizan apparently suffered most, ow-
ing to our concentrated shells. The fir
ing at the cruisers was from distance
of 3. 500 yards, and as a result this class
of vessel was probably less seriously
damaged than the Russian battleships.
The Russian cruiser Bayan did not emerge
from Port Arthur"
The message adds that the japanese
damages have already been temporarily
repaired.
Toxic, Aug. 13.-Admiral Togo, it is
learned, in the sea battle of Wednesday
last. concentrated his efforts on the bat
tleships, and his fire was so hot that the
battleships, with the possible exception
of the Czarewitch, were compelled to re-
turn to Port Arthur harbor. This fact
probably accounts for the escape of the
Russian cruisers. 1t is ascertained that
five Russian battleships, with the cruisers
Diana and Bayan, are now at Port
Arthur.
London, Aug. ia message from
Chefoo says the Russian cruiser Novlk,
which took refuge in the German har-
Dor of Tsin-Tau, Kiao Chow bay, escaped
from that place at the expiration of the
"a hour limit. The cruiser Pallada, the
message adds, is missing, while the bat
tleship Czarewitch is so badly damaged
that she will have to be repaired before
going to sea again. 1t is reported that
the German authorities at Kiao Chow
are assisting the Russians in the work
of repairing. The message repeats the
report that Admiral Wittgert, in com
mand of the Russian Port Arthur squad
ron, was killed in Wednesdays battle.
London, Aug 13.-The st. Peters
burg correspondent of the Central News
wires that official details of Wednesday 5
sea fight have been received. Admiral
Wittgert, according to the details, was
standing on the bridge of the battleship
Ozarewitch, at the height of the battle,
when shell exploded blowing him to
atoms The casualties aboard the Care
witch were 210 killed and 60 wounded.
The battleship reached Kiao-Chow with
her steering apparatus shot away, and
most of her machinery so damaged as to
be practically useless.
London, Aug. ia dispatch to the
Evening Star from Tien-Tsin says re-
port has reached there from a japanese
source that the Russian have evacuated
Lao Yang, without fighting and after
burning the railway station.
Chefoo, Aug. ia report reached
here today from Port Arthur that dur
ing the recent bombardment OF that
place, japanese shell fell into a build
ing killing 200 persons.
St. Petersburg, Aug. 1S.-A telegram
from Kiao- Chow saws German cruiser,
probably the Fuerst Bismarck, has ar
rived there to prevent the japanese from
entering the harbor in pursuit of the
Russian war vessels which have taken
refuge in the bay.

Chose Publio place to Wade.


The fashionable residents and loungers
on the Lake Shore drive, Chicago, were
given a thrill Wednesday night which
is inexplicable except that woman won
q bet. The drive is paved atan incline
below the water level. A northwest
wind was tossing breakers upon the
walk. In the presence of thousands a
tall, handsome woman, arrayed IN a
gown that made her sisters turn around
and stare, suddenly stopped and looked
about her with an air of hesitation. She
then elbOwed her way to the edge, drew
her skirts above her knees and walked
for a mile northward, unmindful of the
waves which soused. her to the waist.
A crowd of 1000 followed. "She ought
to be arrested" was the cry of indignant
women, who towed their husbands in an
opposite direction. At the foot of Full
lerton avenue carriage was waiting.
The woman was then completely
drenched, and her hat, which she had
taken off and was carrying in her hand,
was a wreck. A man assisted her into
the carriage, and there the mystery re-
mains.

AGUINALDO'S RULE BAD
Thinks Period for Educa-
ton of the Natives
Necessary.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, June 2S.-In
carefully prepared address Secretary Of
War Taft discussed before the Harvard
Law School Alumni Association some
phases of the Philippine situation. The
first part of his speech was largely Of
an historical character, in which the
Secretary endeavored to show that in
justice TO the Fiipinos themselves the
United States could not well have either
turned the islands back TO Spain or
given them TO the insurrectionists
Mr.. Taft vigorously denounced the as
sertion made in some quarters that there
was a compact between Admiral Dewey
and Aguinaldo whereby the Fnipinos
We're 10 be given their independence. in
proof whereof he referred 10 a recently
discovered secret document signed by
Agulnaldos former secretary of state,
the late Mablni, in which occurs the
statement that Aguinaldo and the
United states made no such agreement
Passing TO the cOnStitutiOnality of our
administration in the Philippines, the
Secretary held that the words consent
or the governed were not intended 10
be literally construed, declaring that
there have been numerous instances in
our history where the consent of the
governed had not been obtained, no
Iably, IN the early administration of AZ

iitIcal control.
Secretary Taft spoke in detail OF the
great work of education being carried
on by the Government in the Philip
pines. one-third of the revenues OF the
islands being devoted TO that purpose.
1T IS absolutely essential. he said. to
the preparation of the people of the

ment. In which there shall be the safety
