Secretary Wilson of the Department

ising to the latitude of South Carolina

where many millions of dollars have
been Invested In its culture. There
Is already one tea farm In South Car-
olina. Its proprietor does not at-
tempt to compete with the cheaper
teas of the Orient but rather with teas
of superior quality. Last year he made
thirty-five hundred pounds of black
tea, which retailed at about one dollar

The Colorado Midland does not pro-
pose to use the "overhead" line at Hs-

travel of the season. All of Its trains
are now using the Busk tunnel, which
runs under the pass, and which recent
ly was secured by the Midland from
the Dutch owners. The line crossing
the po«k will not be kept In repair and
will gradually be torn up. It is said,
as Its abandonment Is complete. There
was some talk of using the line in the
summer months for the benefit of tour-
ists. but the conclusion was reached
that the travel will not Justify the ex-
pense of keeplug the line open.

A dispatch to the Denver Republican
from Fowler, Colorado, says; A coy-
ote supposed to be sulTorlng from hy-
drophobia terrorized the settlera liv-
ing Ave tulles west of Fowler, last
Friday. The mnd wild animal Arat ap-
peared at the ranch of Joseph Harris,
where It frightened the occupants of
the house by chasing the dogs about
the premises. Tbeu It took an eastern
course, stopping nt nearly every ranch
within a distance of two miles, and
was finally killed by J. F. Anderson.
All symptoms Indicated an advanced
stage of hydrophobia. Great excite-
ment prevails among the settlers In the
neighborhood through which the crazy
brute passed, and all domestic animals
which might have been bitten have
been isolnted awaiting the outcome.

Secretary of State Chatterton of
Wyoming, who is secretary of the new-
railroad company known as the Wyo-
ming Southern, which is now engaged
in building a line from Fort Steele, on
the Union Pacific, to Saratoga, has re-
turned from Omaha, where he libs been
for several days in consultation with
officials of the Union Pacific relative to
traffic arrangements between the two
roads. The Wyoming Southern has
consummated the purchase of 30,000
railroad ties which were seized from
J. C. Teller of Denver last spring, as
the latter had cut them from govern-
ment land. The railroad compnny paid
cash for the ties at the rate of 35 cents
per tie, the transaction amounting to
$13,000. This deal dispels all doubt
which may hare prevailed heretofore
regarding the building of the Wyo-
ming Southern. The work of grading
the line will be commenced at once and
the steel will be laid as soon as the
grade Is completed. It is safe to say
the road will be in operation not later
than October 1st.
Ten persons were injured, none of
them fatally, at 6:13 o'clock Tuesday
morning by a wreck on the Colorado
Midland of a Denver & Rio Grande
train at Busk, eight miles west of
Leadville. The most seriously injured
Is J. G. Brennan, the conductor, three
of whose ribs were broken. A mud
slide In the canon of the Grand river
on the Denver & Rio TSrande has com-
pelled that road to use the tracks of
the Colorado Midland from New Castle
Into Leadville. The wrecked train wns
the first section of the through train
No. 2, bound for Denver. It had just
come out of the Busk tunnel. On a
curve at the head of a steep hill, beside
a steep embankment 200 yards from
the tunnel's mouth, the train left the
track. It was going not more than
twelve miles an hour at the time and
this probably prevented a more serious
wreck: None of the couplings that link-
ed the ditched cars to those on the
track parted. This prevented the cars
from rolling down the embankment.
It is presumed that a broken rail wns
the cause, although of this the officials
of neither the Midland nor the Rio
Grande are certain. The engine re-
mained on the track, but the mail,
baggage, smoker and one chair car
went into the ditch, while the trucks of
a second chair car and of one sleeper
were wrenched loose. The other sleep-
ers were not damaged.
Tbe State Bar Association met at
Colorado Springs on the 7th. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President,
Caldwell Teaman of l enver; first vice
president, ex-Judge Julius C. Gunter of
Trinidad; second vice president. ex-
Judge S. S. Downer of Boulder; secre-
tary and treasurer, Lucius W. Hoyt of
Denver. The feature of the meeting
j was the address by Hon. Moses Hallett
of Denver, in which he denounced cor-
porations. He said: "It is better for all
I concerned that any stated work shall
j be done by 1,000 men acting independ-
ently, than to have the same work done
by the same meu under tbe control of
a corporation." Judge Hallett then re-
I ferred to the Standard Oil Company
and declared that many a young man
: had gone to flnancial ruin under Its
' wheels, because he tried to buck
against It; and that others have become
unscrupulous in serving it. In closing
be said: "True manhood is a tub on
Its own bottom. He paddles his own

no false colors. He fights in open day-
l light, and he claims always only the
| victory of truth and honesty. He asks

Judge Walter 8. Cox, Justice of the
Supreme Court of the District of Co-

to the President and the latter Indicat-
ed his Intention to accept It. Justice
Cox has been on the licuch for more
than twenty years, and his determina-
tion to resign was prompted by his age.
which exceeds 72 years. He presided
at.tbe trial of Gulteau, the assassin of

A Aual decision has lieen reached by
the Naval Board of Bureau Chiefs to
put a two-Inch nickel steel protective
deck on the six small cruisers about to

constructor, reported that the deck
would not cost above $16,000 for each
ship, and that no Important alterations
in the plans would be required. The
mnln charge will be in widening tbe
ships about a foot.
The President has appointed the fol-
lowing colonels of the volunteer regi-
ments: Major James M. Bell, First
cavalry; Captain James 8. Pettit, First
infantry, better known as colonel of
the Fourth linmunes; Edward E. Har-
din, who was colonel of the Second
New York volunteer*, in the war with
Spain; Captain L. A. Craig, Sixth cav-
alry; Captain Luther R. Hart, Seventh
cavalry; Mnjor Wllllnm A. Knobbe,
Captain Cornelius Gardner, Nineteenth
Infantry.
The President on Friday brought be-
fore the Cabinet the plan for officering
the provisional army. The decision to
appoint the colonels and lieutenant
colonels of the volunteer regiments
from among the regular army officers
who served during the Spanish war
and the other volunteer officers from
among those who served In the volun-
teer army with credit or distinction,
was heartily npproved by the members
of the Cabinet. The record of the vol-
unteer officers are to be carefully
looked to In the selection of officers be-
low the rank of lieutenant colonel.
The massive and artistic loving cup
which the President sent to the French
embassy as a token of appreciation of
the efficient services of the French am-
bassador in the negotiation of the pro-
tocol and the signing of the treaty of
peace with Spain, is highly esteemed
by M. Catnbon. Congress at its next
session will be requested to make a
small appropriation and authorize the
striking of souvenirs to commemorate
the signing of the protocol and the ter-
mination of the war. It Is desired to
distribute these pieces as mementos
among the members of the French em-
bassy and some of the officials of our
own government.
Senator William E. Chandler de-
clares that he is opposed to legislation
designed to make gold the standard of
values. In his statement Mr. Chandler
says: "I am against changing the mon-
ey plank in the 1896 platform. If the
single gold 'standard men secure a
change in that platform a dangerous
mistake will be made. I would never
vote to cease efforts to establish silver
as standard money. It would be the
highest wisdom to seize this favorable
moment for remonetizing silver, doing
It, If France is willing, with a change
of ratio and getting this vexed 'juos-
tion out of politics. I do not believe it
will ever go out of politics through the
adoption of the single gold standard
and the final rejection of silver as a
money metal. So I am against adopt
ing the money plank which the money
kings are preparing to force upon the
convention of 1900."
Surgeon General Sternberg has made
an official report to the War Depart-
ment, recommending that Fort Bay-
ard, New Mexico, be set aside as a san-
itarium for consumptives of the army,
as the result of his recent Inspection
of that post. There are now six com-
panies of Infantry at Fort Bayard,
and Surgeon General Sternberg will
recommend that all but one company
be removed and that the barracks be
set aside for patients. Surgeon Gen-
eral Sternl>erg says the post is 6,000
feet aliove sea level, and its dry clim-
ate is just the thing to benefit con-
sumptives. Many army men now at
soldiers' homes will be sent to Fort
Bayard. Surgeon General Sternberg
said to-day that the best Informed
members of the medical profession be-
lieved it dangerons to keep persons af-
fected with tuberculosis with healthy
individuals, and lietter for all that they
should lie isolated and undergo the
splendid climatic treatment they will
receive at Fort Bayard.
Attorney General Griggs has under
consideration a question, a decision of
which will mean much to the inhabit-
ants of the islands which have come
j under the sovereignty of the United
, States, and which involves the ques-
I tion whether the United States can
| maintain a colonial system without
revision of the constitution. It Is _
question raised by the Inhabitants of
Porto Rico, who wish to import sugar
and other products of their Island Into
tbe United States free of duty. They
set up the claim that Porto Rico be-
came an Integral part of tbe United
States upon its evasion by Spain, and
that it is in violation of the constitu-
tion to levy duties on articles imported
from tbe island. In the treaty of Par-
is no agreement was made as to tbe
status of Guam. Porto Rico or the
Philippines. So far as the treaty
concerned, there does not seem to
anything in it that snpi«orts either
one side or the other of the contro-
Tbe first orders were issued Friday
for recruiting the troops under the
clause authorizing tbe enlistment of
3S.OOO men. The order contemplates
enlisting men for the three skeleton
regiments in the Philipfiines. Recruit
Ing officer* have been instructed to en
list men with this understanding. One
of tbe members of tbe Cabinet speak
tag la connection with tbe campaign la
tbe Philippines, said to-night; "The
President baa given General Otis to un-
derstand that he Is to have all tbe
men necessary to tbe couduct of opera-
tions against the insurgents. General
Otis baa been told this In so many
words, the President having said to
him In effect that If be (Otis) did not
bare enough men. It was his own fault.
The President also realises that the
better tbe men are cared for and their,
health preserved, tbe more capable
they will be of doing effective work,
snd before tbe rainy season began,
General Otis was Instructed to prepare
for It and In various ways was given
to understand the President's desire
that the soldiers should be well cared
for and well fed."
Greatly as tbe officials regret It, In-
formation received by Secretary Hay
from Ambassador Choate leads to the
opinion thnt Mrs. May brick will have
to remain In prison for the murder of
her husband In 1880. Falling In the
present effort to secure the woman's
release, It Is authoritatively stated that
the preseut administration will do
nothing further to obtain her freedom.
Ambassador Choate has been doing
everything In his power to cause fa-
vorable action by the British govern-
ment upon the request that Mrs. May-
brick be liberated. He has found the
higher officials favorable to compli-
ance with the request, but the under
permanent officials sectn to be of the
opinion that the ends of British Jus-
tice have not yet bmi served. If Mrs.
May brick should Is? compelled to serve
out her sentence she would not be set
free until 1008. She will begin the sev-
enth year of her imprisonment In a
few days, and it had been hoped by
the authorities here that her release
would then be granted, but they now
seem to have lost hope.
It Is stated that the negotiations over
the Alaskan boundary are all off. The
propositions of Canada which have
been rejected by this government are
as follows: The cession of Pyramid
harbor at the head of Lynn canal; the
cession of aby other port on the Lynn
canal; the cession of a strip of terri-
tory which would give access to tide
water; a free right of way across Alas-
ka to any United States port; the vari-
ation of Hay's provisional boundary line
so ns to include Kluckwan, an Indian
village at the head of navigation lead-
ing into the Lynn canal; the inclusion
of the Porcupine district with a near
approach to navigable waters on the
British side of the provisional boun-
dary; the proposition to arbitrate the
provisional precedent to the formula-
tion of a modus viveudi pending a per-
manent settlement of the question. The
state department officials note the fact
that the news from London Insinuates
that the failure of the agreement is
chargeable to the United States. As
obtained from an authoritative source,
the fact is that Great Britain, acting
for Canada, recently made a proposi-
tion which demonstrated the futility
of further negotiations. State depart-
ment officials said that this govern-
ment would not tolerate the idea of
putting them back into a foreign jur-
isdiction after the way they had been
treated in that jurisdiction.
The proposed organization of nine
volunteer regiments will place a num-
ber of important military commissions
at the disposal of the President. Al-
though there will be three new brig-
ades, Adjutant General Corbin says it
is not likely that more than one addi-
tional brigadier general will be needed,
the other two being provided for by
officers of that grade now in the army
whose terms of enlistment are about to
expire. General Grant, who Is now in
the Philippines, is in this category and
he probably will be one of the three
new brigadier generals. Another officer
now in the Philippines is also avail-
able for reappointment to the provis-
ional army. Probably the most Im-
portant point in connection with the
proposed volunteer organization is the
President's declared intention to ap-
point none but officers of the regular
army to the command of the nine new
regiments. Nearly fifty regular army
officers had regimental commands dur-
ing the recent war in the volunteer es-
tablishment and the nine colonels to be
assigned to the new regiments will be
selected from among that number. The
selection will be based entirely upon
the record of the officers during the
late war, and the nine officers whose
practical work 'n the field was most
efficient will receive the appointments.
It is not unlikely, however, that some
of the efficient volunteer officers may
be selected for subordinate commands
in the different regiments, inasmuch as
the decision to appoint only regular
army officers does not apply to posi-
tions below the grade of colonel.
The order for the enlistment of vol-
unteers for the service In the Philip-
pines was published on the 6th, and
seven more colonels to command the
regiments were appointed. There are
yet two colonels to be designated.
Eight majors also were chosen. The
recruiting will not begin until some
time next week, the exact date not hav-
ing been fixed yet. Recruiting stations
win be open in every state and terri-
tory. and as fast as the men are en-
listed they will be sent to the regi-
ments to be assigned to companies.
State lines are obliterated and tbe men
first enlisting will be first to be mus-
tered In. The assignment to compan-
ies will be by the officer commanding,
and he will be at liberty to organise a
company comprised of men from one
state if he finds it convenient and prac-
ticable. Tbe organization of the ten
regiments in this country will not make
any difference in the organization of
regiments in the Philippines by Gen
eral Otis. His regiments will be In ad-
dition to those hereafter to be known
as the Twenty-sixth to Thirty-fifth In-
clusive. and will be numbered from
the Thirty-sixth npward. It is expected
that three regiments will be organized
in the Philippines. The regiments or-
ganized in the United States snd tbe
Philippines will increase the army 050
officers and 17.000 men. if there should
be three full regiments formed by fieS-
eral Otis. The colonels appointed to-
day are under orders to proceed at once
with the organization of the regiments.
