Two Members of the Thirteenth Reg iment Succumbed Remains Are Being Taken Home. Special from a Staff Correspondent. Camp Alger. Va., July 18. The first deaths In the regiment oc curred last night. At 10.SO o'clock Private Chailcs W. Tallman, of Com pany H, succumbed to typhoid fever at Foit Mycr hospital after a two weeks' Illness. Up was n resident of Carbondale, his father being T. M. Tallman, of Chuich street. He was enlisted June 7, 1S0S, at Scrnnton, com ing down with the second batch of re cruits. Soon after his m rival he be came 111 and for a week before he was sent to the hospital he was on the sick report, the regimental surgeons caring for him In his quarters. When the ty pholdal symptoms developed he was sent to the dlvslon hospital and from there be was removed. July 6, to the general hospital nt Foit Myer. Word of his death was received at brigade headquarters by telephone at 5 o'clock this morning and Captain Corwln was Immediately notified. He communicated the sad Intelligence to the unfortunate young man's home and asked what disposition should be made of the body. The deceased was twenty-six years of age and V-'"Hrrled. THE SECOND DEATH. The news of Private Tallman's death bid only started on the rounds of thu regiment when the alarming announce ment came that another of the Thir teenth's men had fallen by the dread Uphold. He was Private Wa'.tei O. Porter, Company D, a resident of Moo sic, and son of Isaac Poiter, a driver foi the Jlooslc Tow dor cnmpfiny. Ill; death occurred at i o'clock this morn ing. On July 2 he was sent to the division hospital and three days later Avhen symptoms of typhoid developed was removed to Port Mycr. It was not thought that his condition was serious and the shock of his death was on this uccount the moie severe. He was 20 years of age and bad been a member of Company D since Xo vemboi S, I89f. When the icginient left for the front he was a student in the y.rnr.ton Business college. The i "mains of buth men were sent home tonight nt 10.10 in charge of founds fiom their respective com panies. ANOTHER MAN MISSING. Company P. has another missing man. Kilday night last, Pilvute Fred nudge betook himself off without leave or the formality of saying good uyo nnd U) to the present writing has not icturned or disclosed his whereabouts. Ever hlnce the granting of furloughs has been In vogue Hudge has been trying to secure the privilege of going home. He produced a telegram announcing that his wife was teriously ill, but an investigation showed that this was not fro and the application was refused. Another telegram came a week later begging him to come home as his wife was dying. A telegram wps sent to the police of the West Side precinct ask ing that the matter bo investigated The answer came that Mrs. nudge was perfectly well. Last Thursday a third telegram came signed by Dr. G. B. Reynolds stating that Mrs. Rudge was dangerously ill and advlslns that, her husband be al ljwed to come home. The previous fuke telegrams led Lieutenant Colonel Mattes to the conclusion that the last one was a forgery and this, coupled with the fact that he Is under arrest awaiting charges affecting his honesty, caused the lieutenant colonel to decline to consider his application When Rudge saw that he could not secure the much desired furlough, It Is supposed he decide to go anyhow nnd that ha will return rxsslbly and take the consequences.- EXTRA CARE TAKEtf. Because of the six cases tff typhoid fever that have broken out in the Thir teenth's ranks extra care Is belty; ex ercised by the regimental suigeons to protect the health of the camp. Yes terday the "peach-sprout" well, which la only twcve feet deep, was ordered closed by Major Keller. This was not done because the water was unwhole some but simply ob a precautionary measure, It being thought best to con fine the men to use of the water from the deeper artesian wells as long as the supply Is plentiful. Major Keller Is positive that the typhoid that has de veloped can not be traced to any un sanitary conditions about the camp or to its water supply. He Is inclined to the bejlef that tho patients were pre disposed to the disease from the fact that it Is not epjdemlc, no one, com pany having two cases of It. Drinking from surface springs dur ing strojls throughout the surrounding country. Is, In Major Keller's opinion, what brought on the fever. He has wnrned the men against this and also ngalnst buying milk Indiscriminately from fanners, as there Is nothing In which typhoid germs propagate more rapidly than milk. If It Is not care fully handled It Is very dangerous In this respect, In a hot climate. THE NEW CAMP. In tho new camp at Dunn Lorlng any lingering question of healthfulness of the surroundings will be removed. A more erratic report than that which made the Eighth regiment complain of the new Bite and demand to be sent bock to Campbell's Acres was never sent out from this camp. To use the words of one of their officers Inter viewed yesterday, they nre "tickled to death" with their new home. It Is a high, dry, gently Bloplng country, abounding In shade, free from traveled pikes with their annoying dust, nnd In every way superior to tho old camp. The wells nre being sunk to a depth of from eighty to a hundred nnd twen ty feet and tho wnter 1b of a far more palatable character than that which the old camp furnishes. Most of .all, there Is a lake a mile and a halt from the camp, a place that Is patronized as a summer resort, and It can be ro lled upon that when General Gobln gets settled down In tho new camp that lake will be secure! for the use of his soldiers. Another recommendation, and a very Important one. Is that the crowded conditions of the present camp will not obtain nt Dunn Lorlng. At present the Thirteenth's company streets nre only twenty feet In width and the backs of one row of tents are planted plumb up against those on the adjoining street. In the new camp the company streets will be forty feet In width and there will be a space of seven feet between each row of tents. It Is expected that unless a Porto nlcan call Intervenes the Thirteenth will move to the now site about Wednesday. T. J. Duffy. GOSSIP OF THE CAMP. From a Staff Correspondent. Camp Alger, Va July IS. Private Greenberg, of Company A, who was stricken down with hysteria on the practice march will likely be discharg ed. He was examined yesterday by a commission composed of Major Focht, acting flurgcon of the Third brigade; Major Allers, of the consulting board of the First division hospital, and Sur geon Mnjor Keller, of the Thirteenth. Their report has not been made pub lic, but it is understood it recommends his discharge. No word has as yet come of the whereabouts of Piivato Klrkendall, of Company B, who so mysteriously dis appeared one week ago yesterday. The matter has been reported to con a headquarters and it Is proposed to have the government take up the search for him. With this purpose in view Adjutant Mattes Is preparing a statement of the case and a minute dlscrlptlon of the missing soldier. He Is thirty years of age, five lcet, nine and nne-half Inches In height, weighs about HO pounds, l of light complex Ion, with blue eyes nnd brown hair and Is of a quiet disposition. His mother has written from his home In Hoadley's nnxlously inquiring If any ncnui of his whereabouts has been gleaned. No one in his company be lieves that ho has deserted, but if he Is not back by tomorrow night he 4 111 be published as a deserter. It is fear ed he has wandered almlensly away during a temporary aberration of the mind or that he was foully dealt with. The fact that he carried $700 on his person heightens this latter belief. One Colonel Nourse, of Kentucky, who recently felt a call to preach, and who Is Inflicting himself on the sol dleio as an army evangelist, conducted yesterday's "church" for the Thir teenth nnd proceeded to popularize himself by making Invidious compari sons between the American soldier and those of England, Ireland, Germany and other countries, by making un called for, not to say uncharitable allusions to the coloied lace and by showing conclusively how the Catholic church and nil that Is reprehensible In Spain are about one and the same thing. Captuln Oilman, of Company D, who served five yeare in the British army, said after the meeting, when the men of the Thirteenth were fum ing over the mouthlngs of the so-called evangelist, that but for the character of the meeting be would have denounc ed the fellow openly as an ass and a liar, when he told that the English nnd German armies are composed al most entirely of the scum of the big cities. It Is needless to say that the allusions to the colored race were not relldhed by the men of the Thirteenth, who have been reading of the noble work of the Tenth Infantry at Santi ago, and watching the work of the Ninth Ohio, a neighboring battalion composed entirely of colored men, com manded by a colored graduate of West Point and being easily the best drilled and best disciplined body of troops In Camp Alger. Such of tho Kcllys and Burkes nnd Sheas an attended the services were, of couise, highly edified by the preacher's references to their cousin "Mulvaney" and their spiritual mother, the Catholic church. Tluough out the whole regiment yesterday there wan the deepest Indignation ex pressed at the thoughtless fellow's re marks. Chief Musician Thomas H. Miles left for homo today to secure If possible four or five good musicians for the regiment band. He Is authorized to offer extra inducements for good men. During his six days' stay he can be seen afternoons and evenings nt Bauer's band headquarters. An order was Issued today closing all the sutler's shacks on the parade ground In front of the Pennsylvania lines. A crowd of Thirteenth men raided one of the stands and the pro prietor struck one of the soldiers over the head with n pick handle. A gen eral onslaught was threatened on tho luckless sutler, but the provost hurried a squad down from the New Jersey camp and quelled the disturbance. The guard was kept about the stand until the sutler moved himself and his be longings away. Orderly Hubert F. Clarke today suc ceeded to the position of hospital stew ard, made vacant by the promotion of Lieutenant George C. Merrlman.

Ninth Regiment Send3 Thirty Cases of Typhoid to the Hospital. Chlckamauga-Chattnnooga National Park. Tenn., July 18. Various Improve ments nre now being made at the Sec ond division. Thl'il corps, hospital, In chai'MC of Major Bradbury. A room for the reception of the patients has Just been arrnnged and every man who is now sent to the hospital Is taken to the reception quarters, washed and provided with clean clothing, after which he lsaslcned to a ward. In ad dition to this Impiovement. n new sur gical ward has been established. There are about 200 men In the hos pital. Of this number there are Hi mnasles cases. The hospital of the Tolrd division, First corps, has almost as many patients as It will nccommo. date. Included In Its list of patients ar3 a number of typhoid fever cases. The Ninth Pennsylvania has sent more than 3C fever cases to this hospital. In the opinion of Major Weaver, the regimental surgeon, these cases are ty phoid, but there Is a dispute as to this. Major Weaver thinks he cannot be mis taken In his alagnotls of the cases fiom the Ninth Pennsylvania for the reason th it post mortem? have proved that persons who have died from what ap peals to be the same fever undoubt edly had typhoid. OPPOSED TO CONSOLIDATION. D. O. Mills Talks Concerning Prob ablo Course of Steel Companies. New York, July 18. D. O. Mills, who Is said to have large Interests In north western Iron lands, made this state ment today concerning tho rumoied consolidation of the Illinois Steel com pany, Minnesota Iron, Pennsjlvanla Steel and Cambria Iron companies: "As I understand It theie has been but one preliminary conference look ing to the consolidation of northwest ern steel and Iron companies. In the form of consolidation I am Inclined to oppose It. If, however, proper terms can bo arranged, It will be a benefit to all concerned. It is quite natural that In such a combination certain Inter ests would desire to be especially favored. Should such Interests agree to accept equitable terms I would glad ly favor the consummation of such an agreement. It would tend to make permanent trnde relations, which would le of Inestimable benefit Should this matter be brought to a successful Issue there would not necessarily be any conflict with the present nockefeller Carnegie arrangement, as supplies would onlv be furnished for the com panies' own use upon a minimum basis." CORPORATION DISSOLVES. Central Transportation Company Cease Carry on Business. I'hiladti tla, July 18.

Boston, July 18. Professor Charles Eliot Notion, formerly of Harvaid col lege, In reply to Senator Hoar, who at tacked the professor In nn address re cently nt the opening of Clark uni versity summer school, made pub'.lo tcday a statement In which ho hild that Senator Hoar's criticism was baaed on garbled sentences from nn account in a western newspaper of nn Interview with Professor Norton, ills honornby obtained nnd Incorrectly re ported. Professor Norton Bald: "1 did ay to the youth of this unl vei.dty thut this war with Spain was inglorious' nnd as It was for the ac complishment of ends unnecessary to us as a notion, It was 'needlces' and consequently 'criminal' that all Ameri cans had their lives at the service ; the country, but that they should care fully consider whether the best vee they could make of themselves In her service was to enlist In such a war. I see no reason to change these opinions and this advice. Worcester, Mass., July 18. Upon re ceipt of the reply from Professor Nor ton to his recent criticism of Profes sor Norton's utterances before Har vard students In legard to the war, Senator Hoar today made public a let ter In which he says to Professor Nor ton: "Whether they are literally reported or not, they are In general accord, I am sorry to say, with the sentiments I am constantly In the habit of hear ing of as coming from you, both In public utterance nnd private speech, and of tho style with which I used to be not unfamiliar when I occasslonally met you. All lovers of Harvard and all lovers of tho country have felt for a Ions time that your rolatlons to the university made the Influence bad for tho college and bad for the youth of the country. It wns high time that somebody should say what I have said. I could easily, from my own memory and fiom tho report of persons who have met you on social occasions, point out many utterances quite as deserving of severe reproof as those to which I have adverted. I am afraid that the habit of bitter and sneering speech, about persons and public affairs, has so grown upon you that you do riot your self know, always, what you say. I should be soiry to do you any Injus tice. Indeed, It Is not In anybody's power to do you Injustice but your self." THREE GREAT PACERS. Bogash, Rubenstein nnd Bumps Make a Remarkable Record.

Washlngton.July 18. Secretary Gage and Secretary Day had a conference et the treasury department this after noon on the subject of the collection of the customs revenues at Santiago.

In Cuban rates as applied to countries other than Spain. It was decided therefore not to make any changes at present nnd Instead of formulating new rates as was contem plated this morning, thp present sched ules of rates applicable"! goods com ing to Cuba from Spain will be con tinue"! for tho present at least, and would npply to all goods without re gard to the country of origin. The present rate of port clues also will be continued. If, however, It Is learned that these rates are Inconsistent or ex cessive In any particular they will bo modified accordingly.
