CRUISER CHICAGO
LAST IN PARADE
SECOND PLM'E OF HONOR
Admiral IlOWisOO SUYS the Position
Was in Accordance With
Naval E iqnetle.
NEW YORK. S.pt. .-The cruirr
Chicago was the last of the big war
ships in the par:itls tJay.
, This, Hear-Admiral Howlson ex-
plained, was the sond place of honor.
'I see that quite a fuss Is bein made
in some quarte.-s orer the p -sltion of

that T ,hlP wi'l nt follow lnnnedt

ately after the Olympla and before
. v v . . ' " , , '
cant of trouble of some kind," he said.
"This Is altogether wrong and the
supposition grew out of Ignorance ot
naval etiquette and manner. There Is
not the slightest friction anywhere.
Admiral Dewey, Rear-Admiral Samp
son and myself are anxious to see
everything to go off smoothly and hap
pily and everybody have a good time.
To this end, we will do all we can.
"No question of precedenc has arisen
and 1'. would be Impossible for such a
question to arise In the navy. It Is all
foreseen and provided for by the rules
ahich none may disobey. The position
of each cruiser and battleship will be
taken in accordance with these rules
which Is to say that they will proceed
up the river In tlx order In which we
are now anchored as each vessel ac
tually occupies Its proper place. I
I uruppiru my proper place in xne
rear at the Une as soon as I entered
port.
"In the column ahead the leading
ship has the place of honor. The sec
ond place of honor Is the rear, thus If
we were to go In line abreast, the 01ym
pia would be on the right and the Chi
cago on the left of the line. My pres
ent position at the rear of the North
Atlantic squadron would be the head
of the second squadron If any more
ships were here. You see, It la very
easy to explain and to understand.
"The fact that Rear Admiral Samp
son bad to lower his blue Mag with
two stares when I arrived does not
amount to a row of pins. It Is a mere
matter of etiquette and nothing more.
Rear-Admiral Sampson, for Instance,
ranks Rear-Admiral Philip. If he
were to go to the navy yard, he would
fly the blue flag and Philip would lower
his blue and hoisted the red one. If
I was also to go to the navy yard
Sampson would Immediately change
his blue for a red flag and Philip would
change his red flag for a white one,
as being junior to Sampson and me,
That Is all there Is In It"

A PHVSIOLOGICAL SCHOOL.
Chicago to Have an Advanced Institu
tion for Training D-'fectlve Children.
CHICAGO, Sept. 29. The Chicago
Histological school has been Incorpo
eratd under the laws of the state of
Illinois by President Harper, Miss
Mary R. Campbell and George H.
Mead, and will open with the fall quar
ter of the university of Chicago next
week.
The school Is one for the study and
training of children arrested In devel
opment. "The school thus far Is not affttllated
with the University of Chicago," said
President Harper. "It may In time be
come one of the affiliated institutions.
Miss Campbell will have charge."
The school Is to be an experimental
one In child training. There will be
the three departments, physiological.
psychological and pedagogical. Those
who are to be In charge of the school
will keep the pupils under constant
surveillance. A close study Is to be
made of the peculiarities of each one
ard records of every observation that
may be mad? will be kept.
It Is thought by this method to get at
some logical conclusions of caime and
efect and to determine what environ
ment will do for the children who
fall to dovelope normally.
Owing to the closeness of study that
Is to be made, the school will accom
modate only sixteen pupils to begin
with. More than fifty applicants have
been received. The children will be
boarded In the school.

A "BKAl'TIFl'L COUNTRY."
Letters From an Indiana Veteran to
His Comrade Express Delight
With the Philippines.
MINCIR, Ind., Sept. J,i-At the an
nual meeting of the Delaware county
veterans association, a letter recently
received by a member of the orgnnlia
lion from General ' Lawton, division
commander In the Philippines was read.
The letter In part says:
'This Is a beautiful country and the
people In my opinion are not half so
bad as they ar pictured. Centuries of
bul government and bad treatment
hke made them suspicious and It will
be some time before we can pursuade
them that we are not here for the pur
pe of robbing them and making
them slaves.
"As soon as they are assured of our
good lll and Intentions, and we are
able to show them by example that we
mean only for their good and welfare,
I think we will find the Filli'ln
kU Americans as any of our foivlgn
element. '

and the excitement spreading to the
streets, multitudes crowded around the
doors ot the building.
At 10 o'clock a meeting of the dlrec- j

taken, suspending all business. Oper-
ators were unable to explain the tre- .

ing news of the advance! at Liverpool,
prlvste cables to prominent local cot

yesterday In the Liverpool market
This at once aroused the suspicions of
the operators, and caused a hasty meet
ing of the directors.
The action of the directors In ordering
a suspension of business checked the
panic, but only temporarily allayed the
excitement, and there Is suppresed anx
