The general confirms sensationul reports regarding him self and Alger, and refers to two pointed snubs. The war department refused the requests of Miles that his forces be allowed to parade in New York, and that the Wisoonein regiment be allowed a few days in New York before returning to its home state. A riot occurred in the Colorado Springs opera-houso between 22 men representing State Chairman Blood and the Teller faction of the Silver Repub lican party, and Sheriff Boynton and Chief of Police Gastright, with about 75 men reptesenting the Wolcott-Ste vens faction. Charles Harris, of Den ver, was killed, and an unknown mao was seriously injured. The opera- bouee was then taken possession of by the police, deputy sheriffs and support ers of ex-Ohairmsn Broad. At Cincinnati, O-, the middle-of-the- road Populists reorganized the People's party, renewed its former declaration of principles, and nominated its ta t ion- al ticket two years and two months In advance of tho dato of election. The object of this early action was to head off any such fusion as that of 1898. The Western and Southern delegatee nominated Wharton Barker and Igna tius Donnelly for president and vice- president, and declared the principles of the re-organized party. The Eastern states were not represented. Memphis, Tenn., has been quaran tined. Governor Lord has issued a proc lamation, calling the Oregon legislature is extra session September 28.

There has been another series of fatalities in the Austrian Alpe. (me case, that of a newly married conple, was particularly gad. The bride lost her footing and fell; the rope broke, and she went to destruction. The hus band deliberately threw him self after her, and was killed. A gentleman who visited the spot two days later lust hie balance and fell, being killed instantly.

At least three and probably eight vessels were caught and crushed in the ice above Point Barrow. No news of the crews has been re ceived, but the general belief, however, is that no lives were lost. The Belvi dere got out. The Wanderer is also said to have reached Herschel island. The vessels’ lost, therefore, were the Newport, Fearless, Jeannie, Bolana, Grampus, Beluga, Norwhul and Mary D.

He states that he has had some correspondence with Secretary Day on the matter, and has askod him to come to a final con clusion at as early a date as convenient. “ If the company shall not avail itself of the Hawaiian contiact, it contem plates adopting the shorter Alaska route.

Washington, Kept. 10. — Secretary Alger has requested the president to order a thorough and searching investi gation of the war department. In this request, the secretary had been joined by Adjutant-General Corbin. No de cision has been readied yet by the pres ident as to what course he will pursue. Ho bas tbe request of Secretary Alger under consideration, but has not yet de termined whether be w ill grant it or not. Secretary Alger ha-1 a long con ference with tho president tonight, lie- fore he left the city, ami impressed nji-in him Lis earnest desire that an in vestigation, such as he hail requested, l>e ordered. It now seems not unlikely that the investigation will be ordered, but it is tho wish of the president further to ; consider the matter lief,ire announcing a definite policy. The question probably will reoelve co nsideratiun at the cabinet meeting to- lay. TH E E d h e iii R IO T AT C A N D IA . l*M«bn B e li e v e d I u s t ig u t o r . to lie th e London, Sept. 10.— The correspond ent of the London Standard, telegraph ing Thursday from the British battle ship Caui|ierd,iwn, o ff Candia, says: The refugees tell ghastly stories of massacres. They re|sirt that no fewer than 700 Christians are missing. Sev eral attempts were made la*t night to set on fire the offices of the Eastern Telegraph Company. It has been as certained that all the houses overlook ing the Britieh camp were loop-holed for rifle fire and barricaded. This shows clearly that the outbreak was preconcocted. The behavior and attitude of the Turkish troops have been and still are inexplicable. Without going so far as to assert that they took part in the at tack on our troops—though many peo ple are ready to affirm that they actual ly saw the sultan’s soldiers firing on our soldiers— it is impossible to con tradict the positive fact that they made no attempt to render assistance. Every Christian survivor of the mas sacre swears that the butchery was mostly the work of Turkish soldiers, who first robbed and then slew their victims. Edhetn Pasha is the man who ought to be held primarily responsible. Had he wished to prevent bloodshed he would most certainly have done so. Not till the British troops under Col onel Reid had been fighting hard foi four hours did Edhetn, with bis Turk ish soldiers, arrive upon the scene. He then had the effrontry to say that he had only just heard that the British troops were being attacked by thou sands of baslii-bazouks. It is needless to comment en their brazen-faced ex cuse. It is enough to say that Edhetn Pasha must have known what was hap- |iening fiom tbe moment the first shot was fire-1, if, indeed, he did not ar range tiie plot himself. A S a m p le o f e G o o d M o ro . Prof. Dean C. Worcester contributes to the September Century an article on “ The Malay Pirates of the Pnilip- pines.” Speaking ol his guid“ Profes sor Worcester says: Toolaweo was considered a good Moro, and we were therefore interested in certain incidents which gave us an insight into his character. After sat isfying him self by observation that we could use our lifles with some effect, he made us a rather startling business proposition in the following words: “ You gentlemen shoot quite well with the rifle.” “ Yes; we have had some experience.” “ You desire to get sam ples of the clothing and arms of my countrymen for your collection?” “ Y es.” “ Papa (General Arolas) told you. if you met armed Moors outside the town, to order them to lay down their arms and retire?” “ Y es.’’ “ Papa -loes not understand my (>eop.e as I do. They are all bad. When we meet them, do not ask them to lay down their aims, for they will come back again, and get them, and probably at tack us. Just shoot as many of them as possible. You oan then take their arms and clothing, and I will cut off theii heads, shave their eyebrows, «how them to papa, and claim the reward for killing juramentados. ” He i.ever real ly foigave us for reiusiug to enter into partnership with him on this very liberal basis. A F r l . n d l y C e r e m o n y In O i l C n b n . The Century for September prints an article on “ Life and Society in Old Cuba,” being extracts from the journal of Jonathan S. Jenkins, an Ameiican painter of miniatures, written in 1859. Mr. Jenkins says: When an acquaintance visits a pri vate residence, cigars are handed round on a silver salver; if the visitor be an intimate friend, one of the young girls of the laruily, called a “ donzallia,” lighte a cigar and giving it a few draws to get well lighted, gracefully presents it to him. If the guitar is brought in, as usually occurs (for there is one in every house), and the visitor plays, his cigar is kept lighted by the donzalia, and at each pause in tbe music she po litely hands it to the guest. This may occur several times in an evening, and this friendly ceremony is pleasant enough when the cigar comes from the pouting lips of a rich Spanish beauty just ripening into womanhood, bat io any case it must be thankfully accepted.
