KRAJi GOBIN'S COMMENT AS HE JOOKKD AT THE REOIMENTS IN HIS COMMAND. Special from a Staff Corrtspnrdent. Rrookmount, Md., Jtfly 11. The Third brigade accompanied by Colonel Nolle' a Third Vlrulnln, which Is now temporarily attached to Qeneral Gobln's command, moved this morn ing from Camp Alger to thfs point on it practice march. Tonight they are bouvacked on the banks of the Poto mac, and at daybreak will return to the- camp The bivouac Is at the same point as On the former march. It Is not a very convenient or picturesque place, being a bald' knoll high above the river and Hilt oft fronj communication with It by tho Cliespenke canal and a heavily wooded declivity, but It Is tho only accessible camping ground within rea sonable -distance of Chain bridge and rather than give the men a longer walk n unsuitable site Is put up with. .The rlVer was reached by n dif ferent route to Unit traveled on the previous 'march, but as all roads con verge at Chain bridge the old route was practically parallelled all the way from the camp. By tho old route the distance was nine and, one-quarter miles. The new route Is half a mile longer but It Is not as hilly as the old one and far from being as dusty. BETER TIME 1MADE1. The absence of flankers and attacks from the cavalry removed the deluys incident to the former trip and In con sequence the time made was much bet ter, the $ miles being made in three hours and thirty-seven minutes us against the five hours and twenty min utes that were consumed by nine and one-quarter miles match of the 'pre vious trip. It was generally regretted that the cavalry were not In nursult, as their attacks on the former march created a fare diversion and made the march a pleasure rather than a weary trudge. It was figured to get the column In motion at 6 o'clock and it was n it many minutes later when the advance guard, composed of Companies A and H,of the Eighth, left the camu and headed towards Falls Church. Fol lowing them came the pioneer corps with n3r.es, picks and shovels to clear the road of any obstructions that might be encountered and repair o strengthen bridges If necessary. General Gobln and staff came net, nnd then followed the main column, the Eighth, Thirteenth nnd Twelfth. Pennsylvania, and Third. Virginia mnrching In the order named. Com pany D, Captain Glllmnn, of the Thir teenth, was assigned to guard the pro vision train, and two companies from the Virginia regiment formed the rear guard. Before the sun had warmed up to its work It was actually cblllv nnd not until along about 10.U0 o'clock, after the troops had their canvas up did It become warm. In every way the day was ideal for the march. TRIP UNEVKNTFCU The trip was uneventful but at ove'-y Btep was interesting because of tno beautiful nnd historic country trav ersed. After leaving Falls Cluireh Cie route passed through the prettv and typically Virginian village of Chestor brook, thence along the famous Kirby roa,d to the more famous Leesburr pike, passing Fort Thompson and eklrtlng along the edge of tho grounds that surrounded Fort Matey. Just before striking the Leesburg road tlm column passed the site of old amp Plerpont, where many of the Pennsyl vania reserves were camped In 1SC2 and where the sires of manv bov In the Third brigade underwent the sane hard experiences that the sons ate now putting up with at Camp Alger When Chain bridge was reached General Gobln was reminded that li once previously took a troop of United States volunteers over that bridge The day of the battle of Halls Bluff he wan on duty at the bridge and picked up nine bodies that Jioated down from the battlefield twelve miles farther up tlw river. Those were the days wh-n Pennsylvania and Virginians didn't march in the same brigade," the gen eral remarked as he looked back at the Southern regiment that had be-n Placed under his charge by Major Gen ceneral" ex-Confederate brigatllw Arrived at tho site selected for the camp, the dog tents were erected in nJifv'S' "reS' blanke's were made into beds and the making of coffee was gotten under way. After the canned Horse and hard tack had been duly rammed home, all except the unfortu nate ones who caught guard or other deta. were free for the day and In the divers and devious ways known pnly to soldiers, they proceeded to employ themselves. First of all as ,dry the two taverns located on the acqheduct road nearby and ordered th proprietors to get more and .&'?. wlrh the proprietors with alacrity proceeded to do. und did. CANAL WAS POPULAR. , The canal was quite as liberally pat ronized as- the taverns, but there was awt that wild and exultant rush for ine water that characterized the pre vious march. The soldiers are getting "ted to dirt- now and don't mind It ad much as at first, possibly. At any mite, the water didn't seem half as at tractive as It did three weeks ago when the soldiers enjoed their first swim, ( general Gobln made himself at home orf a stretch of green sward to the wjfet of the camp, commanding a view ofjthe whole field. He ate off the ground, smoked a pipe, went about in itlri shirt sleeves and actually evinced Interest In things Just as If he wasn't SliK ?0-ler snern' at all. Orderlies vdldht gallop up and down the lines tratiipllng men under foot In their wild haste to tell the headquarters' hostler not ' to srlve the general's horse any ?n.!t ,unt'1 ''e bad cooled off. Other iiii li; ; . . "llu e animatea Mi(i y I'ltemtiug uuivo -jeacn iKima the general happened to pass their meridian. Spntlncls didn't form an Impregnable wall nbout brigade head quarters. and drive off at tho bayonet point any pleblan who might chance to stray within sighting distance of the saiired territory they guarded. There were a whole lot of other things that wcrorf't done by a whole Jot, of other orderlies and sentinels and nil that. The "old man" Just sat around there coolly nnd quietly directing things without any show or bustle nnd acting as If he had handled large bod ies of troops before. It was refreshing to see r renl soldier at work after a two months' experience with the gold tassel fellows'. Captain Fellows, of Company F, was brigade officer of tho dwy and was en trusted with nil tho duties that per tained to the guard and discipline, General Gobln wishing to relieve him self of all that annoyance. In tho evening the band gave a con cert and n nn early start and long walk were scheduled for the morning, everybody got under covet early, lieu tenant Keith wns regimental com mander of the guard. Lieutenant Colonel Mattes remained in charge of the Thirteenth's enmp with Lieutenant Honlngton ns officer of the day and Lieutenant Davis as commander of the pnard assisting him. Lieutenant Blanchnrd remained behind to look after the health of the camp nnd thoe who could not go on the march, The members of the Thirteenth regi ment stood the severe strain of the mnrch remarkably well, and not a sin gle ens" of Illness was repotted as the direct result of the 14-mlle tramp. So mttch cannot be said of the other regi ments that were in the march, as In several Instances men were compelled to take to the hospital wagons which accompanied the brigade. T. J. Duffy. NO ALARM NF.BD DE FELT. Thera Are Only u I'oiv KcntUred Onus ol Trpliold Over In Cnnip. Special from a Slaff Coi respondent. Camp Alger, Vn., July 11. No alarm need be felt over the typhoid lever scare that some thought less correspondents of metropolitan pa pers are trying to work up here. There Is no typhoid fever In the camp, and there have been sporadic cases over since the camp was opened, but there Is now and never has been anything approaching an epidemic. Typhoid Is nn Intestinal trouble and Is commonly Induced by diarrhoea or dysentery. There has been n great number of cases of these complaints, most of them mild, but some, a small proportion, severe. Wherever there has been a case of typhoid, Investigation has shown a previous attack of diarrhoea or dysentery. This argues, the sur geons claim, a predisposition to ty-phold-ln those who have been affected and destroys the contention that the water supply or poor sanitation are di rectly responsible for the typhoid. The water Is not the best, but Is not Im pure. The worst thnt any one who is competent to speak on the mattex lias said against It is that It Is In danger of becoming contaminated. A scientist with only two or three let ters behind his name could see that. Driven wells are dangerous under all circumstances. . Here the danger Is heightened by the fact that the water is secured above bed-rock. There Is danger of the water here becoming contaminated, hut It has not as yet suffered any pollution, and no one can say that there Is any distant, let alone Immediate, probability of It becoming contaminated. If one stops to con sider that there Is at present nnd has been almost from the very first over 20,000 men in the camp; that typhoid fever has existed from the opening of the camp, and that there are not more than a dozen or fifteen cases all told at present, an alarm on the score of an epidemic ought at once to subside. PRECAUTIONS OBSERVED. Strong precautions have been taken and extra strong precautions are now observed to keep the camp In the most healthful conditions. Lieutenant Col onel Stewart, United States army, one of Surgeon General Sternberg's best men, has been detailed to conduct a special Investigation Into the sanitary condition of the camp and to recom mend any changes or Improvements he may deem necessary. In company with Major Cook, surgeon of the First di vision, and Major Porke, surgeon of the Third brigade, he Is now engaged In making a tour of the camp looking Into Its sanitary condition, with special reference to the water supply. As they go along they note w'bntever sug gestions they think will Improve the healthfulness of the camp, aiid when they cun.clude their Investigations a general report will be made, embody ing whatever recommendations they see fit to make. Awaiting Major Parke's return from his seven day leae of absence Is an official notification of his appointment and confirmation as a brigade surgeon, This signal honor comes to him as a pleasant surprise. He learned some time ago that he had been recommend ed for the place and later upon visiting General Sternberg to make formal ap plication, wns told that he was the next surgeon to be given a brigade place, but when he considered that twenty-seven appointments of this sam; rapk had been made but a short time previously, nnd that Gen eral Gobln's application for Major Hal berstadt's appointment had been re fused on this ground, he had little hope of securing recognition until a long time had elapsed, If Indeed he would ever come by It. A BIG SURPRISE. To be appointed at this early date was therefore a big surprise to him. The fnct that he Is the first volunteer regimental surgeon to be promoted makes the distinction nil the more marked. , Major Pake won his place by meritorious work in the field, nnd he can therefore be all the more proud of It. He never even made application for the place until he was virtually selected for It. The promotion makes a vacancy In the regimental corps of physicians to bo filled by Colonel Coursen. It Is ex pected that Lieutenant Keller, first as slstant surgeon, will be mndo surgeon major, and that Lieutenant Blanchnrd will become thereby first assistant sur geon. In anticipation of Major Parke's promotion, which was foreshadowed In Tho Tribune, applications for the va cancy came in to the number of a doz en or more to Colonel Coursen, and lie Is now engaged In selecting from tho Hood's Should lie In every family aa. a medicine cheat and every bX 1 I 4 traveller's grip.

InrilutbUvhen the itoratcli aw ! cut of order) eure headache. blllouiDett, and 11 liter troublu.. unl ant efficient, ii cent. number tho one who In his opinion Is the best suited. Major Parke's promotion does not Increase his salary or rank. It divorces him entirely from his regiment, of course, and It may bo he will be as signed to some other brigade. The chnnces, though, nre that he will be continued on General Gobln's staff, where ho has been serving, as thnt place has been kept open by Colonel Glrnrd In the expectation that Major Parke would bo assigned to it. The further fact that General Gobln will ask for him nugurs well for his con tinuance with the Keystone brigade. STRIPES FOR WOHMSER. Acting Commissary Sergeant Worm ser will In all likelihood be wearing stripes In the course of a few dnys. Friday last President MeKlnley signed the bill creating the office of regimental commissary sergeant and providing for the appointment of ono for each regiment or separate command. He wns not Included In the provisions of the Hull organization bill, but Its ne cessity wns established by experience, nnd upon tho recommendation of the military affairs committee, congress forthwith made provision for It. The work of the office bears the same refc tlon to the commlssnrlat ns that of quartermaster sergeant does to the quartermaster's department. Up to this time a man was detailed as a 'clerk to the commissary to look after the duties of the office. The office called for extra labor and skill and to ask a private to do It for the lowest salary paid a soldier was deemed unjust, nnd the consequence wns the creation of the now'sergeancy. Private Wormser, who hns been filling the office with exceptional ability, is to be continued In the place. T. J. Duffy.

Corporal Charles Wrlgley and Head quarters Hostler Daniel Matthias are back from a week's furlough. Lieutenant Edward Burkhouse has so far recovered ns to be able to sit up for the greater part of the day. The attack was more severe than ;vas first thought, and It may be a month before he will be able to take his place again In Company C. By that time Company C will be awny from here nnd there Is the possibility that the unfortunate lieutenant may be robbed of the anxi ously awnlted opportunity of second ing Captain Robling in leading Com pany C In active operations. Corporal Stephen Lyman, of Com pany C, was called home yesterday by the serious Illness of his father. Lieutenant George W. Roberts, of Company B, has gone home on a short leave of absence.

SENATOR KENNEY SAYS NOT GUILTY The Gentleman from Delaware Enacts a Peculiar Role. TESTIMONY OF TELLER HOGGS IS THAT THE SENATOR INVEIGLED HIM INTO STOCK SPECULATIONS AND RECEIVED FAVORS CON TRARY TO LAW-AN INTERESTED AUDIENCE VIEWS THE UNPRE CEDENTED SPECTACLE. Wilmington, Del,, July 11. A trlnl probably unprecedented in the annals of this country, that of a member of the United States senate on n criminal charge, begun in the United States cir cuit court in this city this afternoon before Judge Edward D. Bradford. The defendant Is Richard Rollln Ken ney, of Dover, Junior United States senator from Delaware, Indicted upon a charge of aiding nnd abetting Wil liam N. Boggs, who has confessed to robbing the First National bank ot Dover, of which Institution he was paying teller, of the sum of $107,000. The counts In the Indictment to which Senutor Kenney plended not guilty, charge him with aiding nnd abetting Boggs to the extent of nbout $3,500. Two men, Ezekial T. Cooper, of Mil ford, and Thomas S. Clark, of Dover, have already been convicted of simi lar charges and are now serving terms of 18 months nnd 5 yenrs, respectively, In the New Jersey state penitentiary at Trenton. BOGGS' WARM TESTIMONY. Boggs was the principal witness for the prosecution in each case. His story was to the effect that the greater part of his stealings were expended In stock speculations, the defendants were associated with him by partic ipating in his deals and that they gave him their checks when they had no funds In the bank, Boggs taking care of them from the bank's funds. The high position of the defendant drew to the court room a crowd that Jammed Its capacity and overflowed deeply Into tils' corridors, a large num ber of women being among the spec tators. The session began at 2.30 o'clock, when Senator Kennev enteied the court nccompanlcd by his coun sel, United States .Senator George Gray and Levi C. Bird, of this city. The government wns represented by District Attorney Lewis C. Vander grlft, DRAWING THE JURY. As scon as the defense bad renewed M10 Cornifil plea of not guilty which had be.Mi withdrawn pendltig argument on demurrers to the indictment as a re htilt of which fourteen counts in the Indictment, charging oonsplrnry with Boggs, had been ruled out, leaving elev en counts charging aiding and abet ting, the wirk of drawing the trial Jury was commenced. It occupied nearly an hour, both sides closely scrutnlzing each Juror called and exercllng their full powers of challenge. The llrst witness was JIarry A. Rich ardson, president of the bank. He tes tified to the defalcation of Boggs and tald that Bogs admitted to him his cilinc. Tills was nil the government brought out from President Richard son, but the defense put him through a long cross-examination bearing upon the fact that he never had nny sus picion of Poggs' dishonesty antll after his flight, when tlie defalcation wns discovered. He- ad-nitted that he once heard that Boggs was addicted to play ing poker but that on being brought before the directors and charged with this dereliction, Boggs canfessed and promised to play no more. CHECKS OVERDRAWN. T. Edward Ross, or Philadelphia, an expert accountant, who went over the bank's liooks, testified that the defal cation amounted to $107,000. He nlso said that he found that various checks drawn by Mr. Kenney had come to the bank and been cashed when lie had not a sufficient balance to his credit to meet them. K. D. Page, of Philadelphia, who was manager for E. Cutbbert Co., the firm of brokers with which Boggs'con ducted hlsstock speculations, testified thnt checks signed by KA-nney were used In the stock transactions. All were produced and offered In evidence save one for $230, and the defense ob Jcted to the admission of testimony with respect to this one. Pending de cision upon this objection the court ad journed until tomorrow morning. OUIt COMMKIICE WITH HAWAII. Steady Growth In Our l-'xporle in tho Sandwich Inlands. The Hawaiian islands, their com merce, finance, productions and popu lation, form the subject of a series of tables which appear In the "Summary of Finance nnd Commerce," by tho bureau of statistics. From these it ap pears that the United States has, slnco the reciprocity treaty of 1876, had a lnrge share of the commerce of these Islands. Prior to ISTfi our annual sales to the Hawaiian Islands had never, save In two exceptional cases, reached U.OOO.OOO. With 1877. however, the million-dollar line was permanently pass ed, and since that date our exports to the Islands have steadily grown, pass ing the two-mllllon-dollnr lino In 187&, exceidlng $3,000,000 in 1883, $4,000,000 in 1S90, passing the five million-dollar line In 1891, and promising to reach nearly $6,000,000 this year. Of the total im poits by the Hawaiian islands in 1875 n little over one-third wus from thv United States. In 1876 the reciprocity treaty went Into operation, and In 1877 the United States supplies one-half of the imports Into ths Hawaiian Islands, which then amounted to $2,500,010. By 18S0 tho imports had Increased to over $3,500,000, of which over $2,000,000 worth came from the United States. In 184 they were $4,500,000, of which more than $3,000,000 were from the Unlled States; In 1890, $6,962,000. of which $4,711,000 came from the United States, and In 1896, $6,063,000, of which about $4,000,000 came from the United States. Of the experts from the Hawaiian Islands the United States has also bad the lion's shnre since the reciprocity treaty in 1876. In 1875 only about 67 per cent, of the exports from the Hawaiian Islands came to the United States. In 1877, the year following tho treaty, over 90 per cent, came to the United States nnd has since continued in nbout tlie same proportion. Of the $200,000,000 worth of exports from the Hawaiian islands Bines tho rcelproclty treaty of 1876 more than $f0,000,000 havo come to the United States, and of the $100,000,000 worth of Imjiorts Into the Hawaiian Is'unds during that time about $70,000, 000 were from tha United States. Sugar, of course, appenrn ns the chlt-.f article of exportation from the Islands, though rice has been for years an Item of considerable value, and of Inte oof fee, pineapples and bananas have taken Royal mokes the food pure, wholesome and delicious. POWDER Absolutely Pure OVU B4KINO FOAOEIt CO., ktw VO. Important rank In the exportntlons of the Islands. Of the $16,500,000 worth of exports In 1896 nlmost $15,000,000 worth wns sugar, though, In ddltlon to this, there were exported over 5 000 000 pounds of rice, 225,000 pounds of cof fee, 126,000 bunches of bananas and 147,000 pineapples.
