JEALOUS OP THE NAVY.
Unfortunate State of Affairs Said to
Exist at Hanila.
Washington, Oct. 27. That har
mony has not prevailed between
the army and na?y in the Philip
pines has been evidenced on sev
eral occasions, but the complete
triumph of the latter in smashing
the' Spanish fleet and its superb
work later placed it in a position
where it was not necessary to com
plain of the army's apparent dis
position to claim credit for much
that jwas accomplished by the navy.
It is a matter of record that the
capture -of Hollo was effected by
the men of the Boston and the
town turned over to the regiment
commanded by General Miller, yet
Otis, in hia dispatches to the War
Department, claimed the full credit
of the surrender.
Other incidents have occurred
which show that the concert of ac
tion hae often failed chiefly, it is
claimed, because of the desire of
the army to proceed in its cam
paign without assistance from the
warships, so that it may reap the
benefit of all that is done. An
officer who served with Dewey for
, eighteen months tells of the dis
covery by officers of the Olympia
the night after Manila was taken
of several strong Whitworth guns,
mounted at Cavite, loaded with
f ufl-service charges and trained on
two ships of the American fleet ly
ing close by. When this-battery
was taken the army, it is claimed,
knew these guns were charged, and
it was the business of some one to
see that they were rendered harm
less. No one, however did so un
til Admiral Dewey sent a command
ashore and, ; removing the breech
blocks, had' them stored on his
flagship.
The proximity of the guns to
the war vessels rendered it quite
easy for a solid shot from any one
of them, fired by a mischief-maker
or enemy, to have penetrated any
vessel in the fleet and probably
have sunk it. The carelessness of
the army officers and disregard of
the dangers arising from leaving
powerful guns loaded and trained
on the ships aroused the Admiral,
who next dav sent word to General
Otis of what he had done, with the
suggestion that if the latter made
official request for the parts of the
guns, they would be turned over to
him. General Otis, however, has
never yet asked for the breech
blocks, and when this officer left
Manila they were on the Oregon,
to which they were transferred
irhen the Olympia sailed.
From other sources comes infor
mation of the army's jealousy of
the navy, especially on the part of
General Otis, who, it is said, wishes
to be the commanding figure in the
Philippines and to make it appear
that,the naval force is not required
in the campaign.-The relations
between army and navy officers,
while strained, have not gone so
f ar as to interfere with the usual
social exchanges of balls, but aside
from these, no special good feeling
seemed to prevail among them.,
A FERRYBOATCUT IN TWO.
The Steamer. City of Augvista
Runs Into It It is Possible
hat a Number of Lives Have
Been Lost.
New York, October 317 The Penn
sylvania ferryboat, plying between
Jersey City andNew York, was cut in
two by the steamer City of Augusta, o!
the Savannah line, at 12.35 this (Tues
day) morning on the New York side ot
North river. , '
She went down in sevenor eight
Tninutes. There were between thirty
and forty passengers aboard, four being
women. It is supposed that several
persons were drowned, though there is
no positive proof of this.
There was no panic. Most ol the
people were on the upper deck and
only half a dozen were on the lower
deck. Most of the persons managed to
obtain life preservers. About half a
dozen swam ashore without them.
The City of Augusta stopped after
the accident, but apparently no boats
were lowered and in the brief time
hich elapsed nothing was done to as
sist the persons in the water.
The steamboat squad, a few minufes
before 2 o'clock, found a body, which
it is supposed is that of one of thejpas
sengers on the ferrj boat.
Mr. H. W. Bible, of this city, jump
ed overboard with a life preserver. He
saw four ' women struggling in the
water near him, but was unable to
help them. He was picked up by a
4ife boat and taken ashore.
Searchlights are being used in the
"work of rescue. One boat brought in
six men, two women and one child.
- '
- Two Men Lost.
New York, October 31 So far as U
known, one man, John Prison,. a mtil
wagon driver, was drowned, and Fire
man. Broom was lost by the sinking of
the ferry boat, Chicago, last night. -
Thomas A. Edison, Jr., son of
The Wizard, has attracted atten
tion by the invention of a cheap
process of toughening iron, steel
and copper. The invention, it is
said, promises to revolutionize, for
mer methods.
Some Hxtracts From the Ijaw on
This Decennial Task.
Mr. W. B. Steel, of High Point,
census supervisor for this district,
furnishes us with the following'ex
tracts from the census law, which
we publish for the benefit of our
readers : : ; ;j " - --t
. "It is further provided that such
persons shall be residents of the enum
eration districts for which they may
be appointed, and that they shall be
selected solely with reference to fitness,
and without reference to their political
party affiliations.
The appointment . of enumerators
will be made with reference to physi
cal activity and to aptness, neatness,
and accuracy.in writing and in the use
of figures. The census requires active,
energetic persons of good address ana
readiness with the pen. Only such
can do the work with satisfaction to
the Government or profit to them
selves. ...
"Each person seeking appointment
as census enumerator must make a
written application to the supervisor
for the district of which be Is a resident,
giving the chrictian name and sur
name in full ; whether a citizen of toe
United 8tates or not ; present legal
residence ; sex and color ; age ; pi fee of
birth ; the principal facts of education
and of professional or busipess experi
ence, including a statement of all na
tional, State, county, or municipal
offices held at any time ; nature of
present occupation, if any; previjus
experience in census work ; physical
condition, and knowledge of English
and other languages. The application
(ee form 7-217) must be made in the
naudwriting of the applicant through
out, and must be certified to as such.
The enumeration required by the
census act will begin on the first day
of June, 1900, and must be completed
within two weeks in all cities for
which 8,000 inhabitants or more were
reported in 1890, and in all other dis
tricts on or before the first day of July
next thereafter.
' Under the provisions of section 7 of
the census act, the enumeration in
June, 1900, is restricted to inquiries
relating to the population, to mortali
ty, and to the products of agriculture
and of manufacturing and mechanical
establishments, and, by the same sec
tion, the schedules of mortality and of
manufacturing and mechanical estab
lishments may be withheld from" the
enumerators, in the discretion oi the
Director of the Census. In no case,
therefore, will the schedules of inqui
ries to be made by the census enumei
a tors exceed four in number, and in
this respect the work of the enumera
tors at the Twelfth Census will be
much more simple than that required
of the enumerators at proceeding "cen
suses. "Any enumerator who,' without jus
tifiable cause, neglects or refuses to
perform the duties of his position, af
ter : accepting an appointment and
qualifying for the work, or who com
municates to any person not author
ized to receive the same any informa
tion gained by him in the performance
oHiis duties, will be subject to a fine
of five hundred dollars, as provided in
section 21 of the census act.
"The provisions of the act of March
3, 1899, which relate to the appoint
ment, duties, and compensation, of
enumerators are appended for the in
formation of all concerned."
BRYAN'S NEBRASKA CAM
PAlQNr The Marvelous Man Makes
Seventeen Speeches in
a Single Day
Omaha, Neb., Oct. 28. William Jen
nings Bryan started on his flying trip
through the State to-day from Wy
more, making seventeen speeches at as
many town sdurlng the day. He plain
ly shows the effect of the hard cam
paigning, and others have been added
to the party to do some of the talking.
General Superintendent Calvert, of the
Burlington road, placed his special car
at the disposal of the party, which
comprised Passenger Agent Smith, of
the Burlington ; Governor Foynter.
State Treasurer Meserve, Colonel Vif
qnain, Frank P. Morgan and represen
tatives of the press. The party was
joined by Judge Holcombe and Con
gressman Sutherland.
The speeches were largely confined
to national issues, imperialism and
money being the principal tops. When
the home of the late Congressman Mc
Keighan was reached, Mr. Bryan paid
a glowing tribute to this early light of
populism in Nebraska.
At Benkelman, within twenty miles
of the Colorado line, the speaking
closed for the night. Mr. Bryan ex
pressed confidence in his ability to
finish the campaign, though it is evi
dent that the exertion following bis
recent ilness is a severe strain upon
him.

General Wheeler's Letter Be gar ding
the Philippines Commnnii in -
Among Insurgents.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 31. A
letter has been received here from
Geni Joe Wheeler, In the Philip
pines, 'dated Santa Beta, Isle of
Luzon, September 18, 1899, to his
cousin, Van XeerKirkm an, in which
he says, in part : -
"I hare now seen , much of the
country, and the people in that part
of Luzon for about fifty miles north
of Manila. In every town there is
a magnificent stone church and a
convent or monastery. The insur
gents have a great antipathy to the
priesthood or friars, and they have
dismantled many of the churches.
The value of the church and mon
astery of a town eeems to be equal
in many cases to the value of all
the j.other buildings in the town.
The more I talk to the people, the
more I am convinced that the in
surgents are actuated, in a meas
ure, by a spirit of communism, and
in their talks, their most serious
objection to the church seems to be
the fact that ecclesiastical, organi
zations own so much of the prop
erty, and one of Aguinaldo'ts most
earnest demands is that the church
property be confiscated.'
uThere is a general impression
that the insurgent army is made up
very largely of people without
property, and that people who have
property desire the Americans to
control, so that they can have pro
tection and feel that their property
is secured to them, but I find, that
there is also a fear or apprehension
among some of the wealthy that
if Americans control and give uni
versal! suffrage, the power of the
wealthy people would be taken
away, and their hold on property
very much impaired. 1 think that
if the wealthy people would be as
sured that they would be protected
in their property rights by the
United States it would have a very
gooid. effect. -
"The friars and priests are
charged with all sorts of oppres
sions j and misdemeanors, but it
must be remembered that friars
and priests are very numerous, and
in :so large a body there will be
found every possible phase of char
acter I and disposition. Some of
them are, no doubt, oppressors of
the people, exacting in the colleo
tion of rentals from the land, in
dulging themselves in many ways,
and leading lives very different
from what should characterize the
life of a priest. But there are very
many good men among them. .
fThe statement that I have seen
that 70 per cent, of the people of
Luzon can read and write is a great
mistake. It may be-true of many,
but it is not true of those in the
rural districts, and the percentage
of illiteracy in the other islands is
much greater than in Lubon. The
appearance, mode of life, and meth
od of performing work are today
very much like they are described
in! the Bible at the time of, and
even before, the Christian era.
KThe people dress very much as
they did two thousand years ago.
Today I spent some time in watch
ing natives cleaning shucks from
rice ; the method of shelling and
cleaning is primitive, and no better
than it waB two thousand years ago.
Opium-Using Physicians.
New York, Oct. 27. From 6 to
19 per cent, of the physicians in
this country are addicted to mor
phinism, according to the assertion
made today by Dr. T. D. Crothers,
of Hartford, Conn., before the
New York State Medical Associa
tion, which is holding its annual
meeting at the Academy of Medi
cine. The Doctor sounded a note of
warning , by saying that the habit
was increasing. He was appointed
in 1890 chairman of a committee
to collect and study statistics of
the prevalence of alcohol and opium
inebriety. During this interval of
nine years a large number of sta
tistical observations have been
gathered. Dr. Crothers' report de
clared: ; "In a general history of 3,244
physicians residing in the eastern
and middle states and some of the
cities of the western states 21 per
cent, were found using spirits or
opium to excess. Six per cent, of
this number used morphia openly.
Ten per cent, were using opium or
other drugs secretly. At least 20
per cent, used spirits in modera
tion, so-called. , t '
i "In another study of 170 physi
cians 7 per cent, used opium or
morphine, and 6 per cent, were se
cret drug-takers. These figures
show that at least 6 to 10 per cent,
of all medical men are opium in
ebriates. It is a conservative esti
mate." i .
On account of his indiscreet ut
terances at a dinner party in Lon
don in regard to the Venezuelan
boundary, the State Department
has notified Ambassador Choate
that 'he must be more careful in
his
utterances in public.

No Return of Heart Trouble"
Was Entirely Cured by
New Heart
THERE is probably no other dis
ease which effects so large a
percentage of our people as
heart disease. The most common
symptoms -are shortness of breath
after any kind of exertion; fluttering
or palpitation, hungry and faint spells,
swelling of the feet, pain in left breast
or under left shoulder blade, etc
Heart trouble is frequently accom
panied with nervousness, irritability,
unsound sleep. Dr. Miles Heart Cure
is the most reliable medicine known
for such troubles and will positively
give relief. The following letter is
received from Mrs. M. A. Birdsall, one
of the most prominent ladies in social
and church circles in Watkins, N. Y.
"Aboutone year ago I was taken
with extreme nervousness and palpi
tation of the heart, accompanied at
times with an oppressed feeling in the
chest and a shortness of breath. I also
had severe pain in the left side and
under the left shoulder. My appetite
was very poor and my general health
miserable. I began taking Dr. Miles'
Heart Cure, and after taking four
bottles I was entirely free from pain;
my appetite returned and I felt greatly
improved. I have had no return of
the heart trouble since taking your
New Heart Cure. For years I had
constant pain in the right ovary. I
was unable to wear my corset without
suffering intense pain. For this trou
ble I have spent hundreds of dollars
employing physicians and buying med
icine, t Nothing seemed to do any
good until I began taking Dr. Miles'
Anti-Pain Pills. They brought relief
at once and I think they are indis
pensable, and can heartily recommend
them to ladies who are suffering from
such troubles. I wish every woman
who suffers as I did would give Dr.
Miles' Restorative Remedies a trial."
