It is saidjit the War Department that there is no truth in the report that Camp Wikoff, Montauk Point, Is to be abandoned, either as u result of Secre tary Alger's inspection of on any other account. Captain Charles E. Clark, formerly commander of the Oregon, when dis charged from further treatment at ihe hospital in New York, will get three months' leave of absence. Gen.

Rear Admiral Dewey has informed the Navy Department that he has ail abundance of supplies for the present needs of his squadron. The New York coroner's jury found that the murderer of "Dolly" Reynolds is unknow;i, thereby favoring the ac cused, Dr. Kennedy. New York paid hearty tribute of welcome to the brave soldiers of the Seventy-first Regiment on their arri val home. Officials despatches show that Secre tary Alger expected to keep the troops in Santiago "until the fever hud run its course." The public demand for action Is like ly to cause the President to order an immediate investigation of camp hor rors. The condition of Thomas F. Bayard is much improved. He was able to be about and was taken out for a drive. Assistant Surgeon-General Senn pre dicts a typhoid fever epidemic at Camp Wikoff if soldiers are kept there. Gov. Black visited the sick at Camp Alger. The men made no complaint of the treatment they had received. The Spanish cabinet sat to-day, but has not yet decided as to the compo sition of the peace commission. Dr. Spitzka, the alienist, agrees with Max Nordau that Mrs. Martha Place, the murderess, is a degenerate. The Merchants' Association's ship load of supplies for sick regulars has been distributed at Montauk. President McKlnley says that reports of abuses at camps would be investi gated and the guilty punished. A big iron trust with $200,000,000 capital, has been launched in Wall Street, New York. The Sixty-fifth New York has been ordered to start from Camp Alger for Buffalo at once. Dewey doesn't want to go to Paris; wants to be ready to act if peace falls through.

One Fare, G. A. R., Cincinnati. T Via Lehigh Valley. September 3 and 4. OASTOniA. Bmr> tho yf Kind You Hate Always Bought MMPIHI President McKinley Completes the List of Repre sentatives. A STRONG COMBINATION Five Brainy Men Who Will Look After the Interests of the United States. The Men Selected Are Secretary Bay, Sen atom Davis and Frye, Juntlce White and Whitelaw Reld Meet lug of the Com mission to he Held Karly Next Month- Will Sail for l'arls About Sept. 15tli. Washington, Sept. I—President Mc- Kinley received a despatch from Jus tice White, of the Supreme Court, ac cepting the offer of an appointment as Slic'v WII.I.IAJI ,1. DAY. a member of the Peace Commission. This completes the list, and the full membership will soon be officially an nounced, as follows: William 11. Day, Cushman K. Davis, William P. Frye, Whitelaw Held, and Edward D. White. The place was offered Mr. Reid yester day, and was accepted in a telegram which was laid before the Cabinet meet ing this morning. At tho same time SBNATOII CRSMIAX K. DAVIS. the President notified the Cabinet of the receipt of a long telegram from Justice White, in which he pointed out reasons why he though it best to de cline. The President and ail the Cab inet joined in a telegram to the Justice, a sort of round robin, making light of his objections, and urging him to ac cept. He therefore did so. The President has been led to select Mr. Reid for the reason that he can ASSOCIATE JUSTICE E. I). WHITE. thus give him a place that he can ac cept without being subjected to the ne cessity of confirmation by the Senate. The President originally had it in mind to appoint Mr. Reld Ambassador to England to succeed John Hay, but was led to change this determination by tl • opposition of prominent republi cans, who made it clear to him that the appointment would meet with se vere criticism and that the nomination would probably be rejected by the Sen- SENATOR WM. V. FRYE. ate. Not wishing to bring on a fight of this kind within the party, the Presi dent gave up the idea of sending Mr. Held to England and has given linn a place on the Peace Commission. Now, however, it is calculated that the work of the Peace Commission will have been concluded and Justice White returned to Washington before the date when it will he necessary for the other members of the court to reach Paris. Justice White's familiarity with the historical and legal facts of the Lou isiana purchase, his knowledge of tho legal customs growing out of the prac tice of the Napoleonic code In Louisi ana, his acquaintance with the French language, and the fact that he Is the candidate whose appointment has been urged by Bishop Ireland, representing the Catholic church, were facts that Mn. WIIITKLAW RMO. had weight with the President In de ciding to appoint him. A meeting of the full commission will bo held early next month, and the com mission will sail for Paris about Sept. 15. NEWS PAKJMIKAPIIB. The omission of mention of the Maine in the peace protocol indicated that this government had abandoned hope of bringing to justice the fiends who blew the battleship up. Prof. Gilbert V. Curry, of Wlikes barre, Pa., was instantly killed at Plains this afternoon by lightning. He was returning from the funeral .if a friend. Secretary Alger refused to dismiss the criticisms allege*! to have been made by Gen. Miles. The War Depart ment, he said, had not criticised Gen. Miles. Mr. H. M. Flagler has given ¥5,000 to the American National Hed Cross Relief Committee. In an alleged interview Gen. Miles freely criticises the management of the war. Helen Gould has given for patriotic uses since the war began. FROM ACROSS THE SEA. Madrid. Sent. 1 In an interview to-day Prime Minister Sagastasaid that as soon as the Cortes meets he will submit a bill authorizing the peace ne gotiations. The House would not discuss the question of peace or war. The Depu ties were completely lacking the ma terials necessary. Such information, based on concrete positive facts, had not arrived yet. He did not believe there would be a discussion of the surrender of Santi ago and Manila. A discussion of the destruction of Admiral Cervera's squad ron would not he permissible. That was a matter that was before the Su preme Council of War. The nations wore merely in a state of suspension in order that the nego tiations may be successful, hut it might happen that hostilities would be re commenced. I-ondon,. Sept. I.—A despatch to the Daily Mall from Madrid says that in an Interview to-day Senor Romero Rob ledo said that lie would energetically oppose Prime Minister Sagasta's inten tion to prevent debates in the Corte3. He added that if the Government re fuses to furnish official documents for purposes of debate the House would use the uncontradicted press reports. The members of the opposition are not inclined to accept Senor Sagasta's de cision. The session promises to be a stormy one. Moscow. Sept. 1 Vast crowds have assembled here to witness the Czar and Czarina unveil a monument to Al exander 11., the Czar's father. The monument 1h in the Kremlin. The streets are lined with troops, and the decorations and illuminations are gorgeous.

I.—Admiral Dewey says that he has been advised by the Navy Department at Washington to hold himself in readiness to return home by the quickest route for the purpose of conferring with President Mckinley on the Philippine question. The Admiral cabled in reply giving the fullest possible Information and also giving his views on the subject. He suggested to Secretary I-ong that the importance of the situation re quired him to remain here, where there is much work yet to do. He thinks taht his squadron should be augmented in strength, and he therefore requested Secretary Long to despatch a battle ship and an armored cruiser to Ma nila. Hoy Trie* to l'olnon Hl* Mother. Koch ester, Sop!. I.—Raymond Ca'k ins, 11 years of ago, in a fit of anger, put muriatic acid in his mother's cof fee jar. Mrs. Calkins drank some of the coffee, but detected the bad taste before any harm had been done. When found the boy was led to confess that he put the poison In die cofTee to get oven with his mother for having pun ished him. THE MILES INTERVIEW. ■'resident McKlnley Will Order an In vestigation. Washington, Sept. I.—Officials of the War Department are convinced that the outcome of the controversy be tween General Miles on one side and Secretary Alger and General Corbin on the other, either will be a court mar tial ordered by the President or a court of inquiry requested by General Miles. It may be announced with authority that the President is much irritated by the unfortunate situation. When he left Washington he had in contempla tion an investigation of the whole af fair. His subsequent action will de pend on what General Miles says about the interview when he returns to this country. If the General denies its au thenticity and does not himself ask for a court of inquiry, the case will drop. But General Miles is not likely to deny the interview. Otherwise it is almost certain to be ventilated in an official investigation. Aentnuldn Tntln, Cowers. Manila, Sept. I.—Aguinaldo, the in surgent leader, has issued a memorial addressed to all the foreign powers re citing the fact that the Filipinos have formed a government under the con stitution adopted on June UiJ. He adds that the Filipino forces have since carried on a campaign of liberty, taken forty provinces, and have re duced Manila. They have 0,000 pris oners. Peace and tranquility prevail in the conquered provinces, and there is no resistance to Aguinaldo's authority. The campaign, the memorial says, was conducted with due regard to the rules of civilized warfare. He asks for the recognition of the independence of the Philippine Repub lic, or, failing in that, to grant the Filipinos belligerent rights. The United States are not mentioned in the me morial. Honor for Colon*! JoitfT liny. London, Sept. I.—The National Re view, referring to the recall of tho United States Ambassador, Colonel John Hay, to become Secretary of State, says it considers Colonel Hay to be tho best Ambassador accredited here in re cent years, adding: "He has spoken well and not too of ten; he has abstained from being more British than the British; he has refrained from fulsome flattery, nor has he Indulged in postprandal gush, but he has missed no fair opportunity of promoting friendly Anglo-American relations and has been emphatically j the right man at the psychological mo ment."

He Says There Will Be No Investigation as It Is Unnecessary. PRAISES THE OFFICIALS. All of the Bureaus in the War De partment Have Acquitted Them selves Magnificently. If There Ho. lleeu Any Luck of Supplies, Food, Medicine, or Clothing ft llu Hecn Duo to the Officer, or to Cnovnldnhle Clr cuiii.lance.-Tho Finn, of tho War De partment for Mustering Out Troops. Washington, Sept. I,—Secretary of IV ar Alger gavo to the public a very elaborate explanation of some of the features of the conduct of the War Department during the entire war, and emphatically declared that there would be no Investigation of any branch of the service; that no investigation was necessary, and that there was nothing to Investigate. "The statement that there will be any investigation of the Quartermaster- General's Department, the Commis sary-General's Department or of the Surgeon-General's Department is ab solutely untrue," said the Secretary. "All of them have acquitted themselves magnificently throughout the whole war, and there is no fault to be found with them. If there has been any lack of supplies, food, medicine or clothing in uny of the camps it has been due to the officers in command or to unavoidable circumstances. Food, utethlng and medicines have been ev erywhere provided in abundance, and there has not been a requisition for anything that has not been promptly filled. All un officer had to do was to notify the department what he needed and it was immediately sent to him. Of course, in many instances, supplies were allowed to get short before other supplies wero ordered. This is due partly to the fact that no one had an adequate idea of the Immense amount of stuff that would be needed. In speaking of the plans of the de partment for mustering out the troops, the Secretary said that every soldier who had been to Santiago would be mustered out as rapidly as possible, and that 100,000 to 1 ."10,000 men would be mustered out before fall. In the case of the men at Montauk It would be necessary to detain them in cump until all danger of yellow fever was passed. They would then be sent to their States by regiments and there mustered out. Each man would receive a sixty-day furlough when mustered out, which would give him an oppor tunity to rest and to look about for work. In the case of the sick they were being furloughed as fast as they were able to leave the hospitals and transportation given them to their homes. "Everything that could be done for the comfort and future wclfagp of the soldiers was being done by the War Department, and it was felt that after putting the men In good condition and giving them a sixty-days' furlough the Government had done all It could pos sibly do. FOH UNIVERSAL PEACE. The Vr.tkr I'ropnM. e Tengre.. of the N tlonH to IXMCIIM It. St. Petersburg, Sept. I.—By order of Emperor Nicholas, Count MaravielT, the Foreign Minister, on the 24th Inst, handed to the foreign diplomats at St. Petersburg a note declaring that tho maintenance of peace and the reduc tion of the excessive armaments now crushing all nations is the ideal for which all governments ought to strive. The Czar considers the present mo ment favorable for the Inauguration of a movement looking to this end, and invites the powers to take part in an International conference as a means cf thus assuring real and lasting peace and terminating the progressive in crease of armaments. The Czar's proposition is likely to produce a sensation throughout Eu rope, and, coming from such a quarter and with such evident sincerity of purpose, it is likely to have important efTects. There is no doubt that with Russia taking the lead In Biieh a step Germany, France and the other nations will be ready to follow. Fight Hurt to Come OfT. New York, Sept, I,—Tint the Cnr bctt-McCoy fight will come off on Oct. 1, the new date agreed on a few days ago. Is a fact not now questioned by many sporting men. Just after the tragie death of the former champion's parents it looked as if the whole affair were oil.
