He threshed his grain a day or two since and the yield of winter wheat, from twenty-two acres, was found to be 720 1-2 bushels.

General Wheeler Escorts the Pres ident About Camp. SECRETARY ALGER IN PARTY. Til* Third Cavalry Art as Guard — A Handsomer Camp President McKinley Said Ho Had Never Seen — General Shatter Feels "Achy." Camp Wikoff, X. Y., Sept. s.—The President and Secretary of War «r I rived at Camp Wikoff at 8:45 this morn ing. Major General Wheeler and his staff greeted Mr. McKinley. Mr. Alger and their party on the station plat form. Outside l.txiO smart troopers of the Third cavalry were drawn up and the converted yacht Eileen in the roadstead slowly lammed forth the President’s salute of.twenty-one guns. General Wheeler met the President because General Shatter has a touch of fever and does not feel able to move from his cot. Besides, General Shaf fer is still in detention and it would hardly comport with the discipline of the camp for the commanding general to disregard the detention rules. With the President, besides the Sec retary of War. were: Vice-President Hobart, Attorney-General Griggs, Sen • ator Proctor, of Vermont. Brigadier General Egan, Brigadier-General Lud ington. Major Webb C. Hayes, son of the late President liaycs; Colonel M. T. Herrick, of Cleveland ; William McK. Barber, of Canton ; II. II. Her rick, of Cleveland ; Secretary Porter and Assistant Secretary Cortelyou. The women of the party were: Mrs. Alger and Miss Heclcer. Major-General Wheeler was sur rounded by a number of his staff. The carriages, preceded b\ the cavalry, wound up the hid to General Wheeler s headquarters. There the President took a long view of the wide, treeless expanse, checkered with regimental camps and hospitals, oases of canvas amid stretches of grass. “This is beautiful," Mr. McKinley said, and then later: “I mink 1 never saw a handsomer camp.” After a. two minutes' wait, the Pres ident drove through the detention camp to Major General Shafter's tent. The general was iu full uniform, but his face was flushed with fever. He endeavored to rise from the chair in which he sat as the President entered the tent. “Don't get up, general,” said Mr. McKinley, as they shook hands. "You are entitled to rest. How are you?" “A little achy,’’ replied the general, “but otherwise all right.” Mrs. Alger remained in General Shafter's tent while the President, Secretary Algor. Mr. Griggs and others went to the general hospital. ROOSEVELT IS THE MAN. T!i« Fa mom '‘Rough Rlrlor" Will Re Nominated for Governor. Nkw York, Sop*. a.—Roosevelt, nothing but Rooseve't, was heard at political headquarters yesterday. Whatever may be thought of the source of the report, the positive an nouncement was made at Democratic headquarters in the Hoffman house that Colonel Roosevelt will be nomi nated for governor by the Repub licans. Chairman McCarren confided this information to a friend, and he added that Richard Croker is of the same opinion. He also announced that the Democratic campaign committee is making plans to moot the situation. The news from Democratic head quarters was practically confirmed by various Republican leaders at the Fiftn Avenue hotel. It was admitted that 100 of the 132 delegates from Brooklyn would vote for Roosevelt. This, it was said, settled all doubt about Roose velt’s nomination. Senator Platt is quoted as having made this statement to a high state of ficial : “ I have decided to favor the nomina tion of Colonel Roosevelt for governor. I know he will be nominated at the state convention to be held in Saratoga September 27, I believe by acclamation. I am also convinced that he will be elected." KING OSCAR ACTS_FOR PEACE.

Seeking the Mlntiinfc Mined. San Francisco, Sept. 5. — Major iluer of the United States engineer corps has removed fifty-six of the sixty-three mines or torpedoes put in this bay at the outbreak of the wifr with Spain. He is experiencing some difficulty in locating the remaining six mines, as they have dragged their an chors for a distance of a mile or more, and several of them have been de tached from the cables connecting them with the shore. The major hopes to locate the missing mines in a day or two and store them with the others on Uoat island for future use. ESCAPE FROM A PEST HOLE. Colonel Stutlelmkcr ot the 157th Indiana Volunteer* Make* a Hold Statement. Indianapolis. I rut.. Sept. 5.—Colonel Studebaker's ••Tigers," the One Hun dred and Fifty-seventh Indiana volun tners, reached here from the South yesterday morning. There arc 13J hospital patients, and two were unable to march—two dead bodies were brought home. They were those of Clifton Ix>well of Fort Wavne and William Snyder of Maysville. Robert Parting of Klkhart died n.s tlie train pulled into the station. All were privates. Colonel Studebaker said: “This is not the same regiment I took away from Indianapolis last May. The per sonality is the same, but it is made up of a different lot of men. They have fever in their very bones; they are hungry and their strength is wasted. It is all due to the cesspools in which we lived in the South. When the men left Indianapolis they were strong and showed their hardiness. They were all right when we left Chickamauga park. "Port Tampa—there is the most God-forsaken, health-destroying spot on the continent. I charge the condi tion of my men to it and to the condi tions surrounding it. For weeks we were in camp there, exposed to the fevers and the unrelenting sun of Florida. We have not been in the shade of a tree sines last June. It was a happy day for us when v.e re ceived orders to leave there. Hut when we moved we did not better our condition much. The fevers followed us. and, day by day, the regiment be came weaker. At Fernandina we had the same difficulty to obtain proper food. The 1'nited States authorities seemed willing enough to provide us with what we needed, but Fernandina is such an out-of-the-way place that it is difficult to reach it. One railroad runs to the town. “When men who have been investi gating tlie condition of the Florida camps say we have not been in actual need of food and tnadical assistance, they do not know what they are talking about. My men cannot march in straight lines on account of tiieir weakness. They cannot carry their rifles at the right position. They can not march any distance without many of them having to drop out of the ranks to rest. I think that our com ing home lias saved the lives of hun dreds in the regiment." The officers of Colonel Studebaker's regiment hesitate about fixing blame on any particular government officer. They say they are still in the service and a court-martial might meet the man who talks too much. SICK TO JJE CARED FOR. Those Who Reach Home In Had Condi tion to He Kent to Hospital*. Washington, Sopt. 5. — Senator Allen, of Nebraska, was at the war department yesterday, looking after the interests of sick soldiers of the Second Nebraska. He had received a telegram from Omaha saying that these soldiers were arriving there without provision having been made for their care. Secretary Alger at once directed that the adjutant gen eral of Nebraska take charge of the sick soldiers and place them in hospi tals, the expense to be borne by the United States Subsequently a gen eral order was issued to the adjutant generals of different states directing them to take charge of sick soldiers on the same basis.

Mosher, her family having no previous knowledge of it. They im mediately left for New York, accom panied by Miss Mary Hodine, sister of the bride. Yesterday the family and friends were again surprised by receiv ing a letter saying that Miss Mary had married llrooks Cason, a prom inent attorney of Washington, I). C., the ceremony being performed at the home of the bride's sister, in New York. Hoth young ladies met their husbands while in Washington last winter* Havana In Rood Condition. Havana, Sept. 5.—To an outsider, to a foreigner just arriving at Havana, the first impression is one of surprise at the peaceful and gay aspect of the town. The sleek, well-fed appearance of its citizens appears entirely out of keeping with the reports, the exag gerated reports of suffering and dis tress with which Americans have been fed so long. Mo Controversy for Shatter. Montack Point, N. Y., Sept. 5 — General Shatter declines to enter into any controversy, he says, with Dr. Senn in regard to yellow fever among the soldiers at Santiago, and as he was slightly indisposed yesterday, de nied himself to interviewers.

All the Forts at Omdiirman fleported Taken—Kitchener With 24,000 Men Fares 34,000 Fanatics Near General Gordon's Heath Place* London, Sept. 5. —The British war office at noon to-day received a dis patch from Nasri, upon the Nile, say ing that a gunboat had returned there and had reported that there were no casualties among the Anglo-Egyptian forces, that the right bank of the river had been completely cleared of ! all forts, that the forts on Tuti island, opposite Omdurman had been demol ished and that the guns had been cap tured. The dispatch also said the howitzer practice of the sirdar's force was excellent. Later the war office received another dispatch from (ieneral Sir Herbert Kitchener by way of Nasri. It was not dated and read as follows: “Owing to the wet weather the lines have been broken and telegraphic communica tion has been interrupted. Am send ing this to Nasri to be forwarded. The march has been very favorable. Practically none has fallen out of the ranks or been invalided. “During the two days we have driven in the dervish cavalry and small par ties, after slight resistance. From ,lo bel Koyan we marched to Wad-el-Obeid, thence to Surarat. Tills morning we reached Egina, a mile and a half south of Kerreri, six miles from Omdurman. The mounted camel corps, with a horse battery, pushed forward to Khorsham ba, whereupon the entire dervish force issued from Omdurman and were clear ly visible. 1 estimated his force at 35.000 men. They advanced at 11 a. in. ” The sirdar's dispatch was apparently sent after receiving Keppel's report and the telegram breaks off at an im portant point. In another dispatch General Kitch ener added: “The dervishes advanced at 11 o'clock a. m. as if to attack us. to meet which 1 disposed of our force in a good, open position, with a clear field of tire. The Khalifa's force had halted three miles southwest of our position and is now there, at 5 p. m. “Early this morning, according to orders, the gunboats advanced, towing a howitzer battery and barges, in sup port of the Arabs upon the right bank. The howitzers took up a po sition opposite Omdurman, and the gunboats bombarded the forts. They have not returned, hut their fire has partially demolished the dome over the Mahdi's tomb. All well.” Omdurman is the dervish camp across from Khartoum, where an army of 35.000 fanatics awaited the attack of General Sir Herbert Kitchener's Ang’o Egyptian army of ','4,000 men. Khar toum. nearly 1,500 miles up the Nile, lias been the objective point of the English army ever since Gordon per ished there. Sir Herbert Kitchener has conducted a brilliant campaign, so far. losing few men in the burning heat of the desert, and keeping in touch with his base of supplies all the way up the Nile. SOLDIERS WITHOUT PAY. The raymaitpr'n Depart merit of the Army Charged With Ineompetency. Washington, Sept. 5.—Criticism is now being directed at the paymaster's department of the army. it is assert ed that regiments which have been furloughed from one to two months preparatory to being mustered out of the service have been sent home with out their pay. In some cases three month's pay is due the men. The army in Porto Rico lias not been paid and there is no prospect that it will be paid for some months. A part of the Santiago army was not paid all the time it was away from this country. Tlir-e has been no time since the vol unteer army was mustered in that the pay department has been up with its work. It ia now from one to three months behind with the entire army.

Havana, Sept. 5.—The steamer Clinton, which has been placed at the disposal of the lied Cross society tem porarily. for the distribution of relief here, being wanted for the govern ment, President McKinley instructed Miss Clara barton to return to the United States for the present, es pecially as the Spanish government had not reached a definite decision re garding the entry snd distribution of the lied Cross society's supplies. A I’lace for Captain Cotton. Washington, Sept. 5.—Acting Secre tary Alie v yesterday consigned Captain C. S. Cotton to duty as captain of the Marc island navy yard in the place of Commander briee, retired, who has been serving not only as captain of the yard, but as acting commandant since the death of Admiral Kirkland. One Day at Camp Alger Without Death. Washington, Sept. f>. — General Gobin left Camp Alger to-day for Camp Meade, l’a., his position as command ant of the Camp being assumed by General Plume. No deaths occurred in the camp yesterday. JOE WHEELER_BLAMES NONE. The Buffering In thr War, the C*eneral Bay*, Wat t'navoidable. Moxtack Point, L. I.. Sept. 5.— Major General Joseph Wheeler gave the following to tl.o press yesterday: In reply to a direct request that I give the exact facts as 1 see them, I will state: Every officer and soldier who went to Cuba regarded that lie was given a great and special privi lege in being permitted to engage in that campaign. They knew they were to encounser yellow fever and other dangers, as well as the torrid heat of the country, and they were proud and glad to do so. They knew that it was impossible for them to have the advan tage of wagon transportation which usually accompanies an army, and yet officers and men were glad to go. to carry their blankets and their rations on their backs, and to lie subjected, without any shelter, to the sun and rains by day and the heavy dews by night. They certainly knew that tho Spaniards had spent years in erect ing defenses, and it was their pleasure to assault and their duty to capture the Spanish works. “One reason why our army was lacking in some respects in equipage was that a telegram was received from Admiral Sampson stating that if the army reached there immediately they could take the city at once, but if there should be delay the fortifications of the Spaniards would be so perfected that there might be great difficulty in taking it. On receiving this dispatch from Admiral Sampson the war de partment directed the army to move at once, and as all connected with the army will recall the orders were re ceived after dark and the army was in motion, had traveled nine miles and was on the ships at daylight. When the expedition sailed for Cuba it went there escorted by a large fleet of warships. At that time it was re garded as impossible for a merchant ship to sail on the ocean safely from an American port to Santiago, but as soon as the Spanish fleet was de stroyed so that it was possible for un armed ships to sail safely to Santiago the generous people of the United States subscribed money without limit and dispatched ship after ship loaded with luxuries and delicacies for the Santiago army, and everything that could be accomplished for their com fort was done by the President and secretary of war. “I have just finished my daily in speetion of the hospitals. With rare exceptions the sick are cheerful and improving. I have nurses and doctors to care for them and in all my many tours I have not a single patient who made the slightest complaint. It is true there has been suffering, and great suffering. The climate of Cuba was very severe upon all our soldiers, but instead of complaining, the hearts of these brave men are filled with gratitude to the people for the boun teous generosity which has been ex tended to them. WILFORD WOODRUFF DEAD. President of the Mormon Church Pasfte* Away—Ills Career. San Francisco, Sept. 5.—Wilford Woodruff, president of the Mormon church, died at the home of Colonel Isaac Trumble here this morning, aged 91 years. V • / Vv’ILFORD WOODRUFF. Air. Woodruff was born at rarming ton, Conn., in 1807. and was one of the original 147 pioneers that reached Salt Lake valley in 1847. He has been president of the church for the last ten years. INSURGENTS STILL ACTIVE. Seizing Everything Po**ll>le In the Phil ippine* Prior to Peace. Manila, Philippines, Sept. 5.—Set* oral shiploads of insurgent troops have invaded t lie southern islands with . the view of seizing everything possi- I blc prior to the settlement of the ' peacec onditions. General Rios, the Spanish commander, with a flotilla of gunboats, is acting energetically, but the insurgents have captured the outlying islands of Itomblon and Pala wan. where they found treasure to amount of 842,000. The prisoners cap tured have arrived here. Rough Rider* Not to Parade. New York, Sept. 5.—Coionel Roose velt had a consultation with General 1 Wheeler yesterday, and when it was over the commander of the rough | riders announced that there would be no parade of his regiment in New York on Labor day. There will be none at all, in fact, unless the citizens of New j York demand it, and then Colonel [ Roosevelt believes that all the cavalry regiments on duty in Cuba should participate. A (ircat Strike Predicted. Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 5.—In an interview Manager Young, of the M. A. Hanna Coal Company is quoted as saying: “In the early part of next' year we will have one of the greatest coal strikes this country lias ever seen. All indications are that the strike will last many months.’’ SMALL SHIPS IN BAD SHAPE. rile Strain of ll«avr linn. Too Much for Moat of the Mosquito Fleet. Washington, Sept. 2.— It is learned from a trustworthy source that a num ber of warships now at anchor in Hampton Hoads will become the ob jects of unfavorable reports by the board of survey, which began its work of inspection last week. The condi tion of not a few of the best known vessels of the mosquito fleet is said to be such a9 to render them useless for the purpose of either peace or war until extensive and costly repairs havo been made In more than one-half of the vessels already examined it is said the ma chinery has been found by the in specting board to be so badly damaged that new engines and boilers will have, to be supplied before they will be in proper condition for the pursuits in which they were formerly engaged while in merchant service. Others, it. is said, have sustained serious injuries to their decks and hulls, not being 6trong enough to stand the strain caused by the discharge of tho guns, with which they are equipped. In addition to this the little war ships were severely injured by the rough usage incident to blockade duty, in which many of them figured before Havana and other points on the Cuban coast. As the men from whom these now disabled vessels were bought will hardly be willing to take them, it is. likely that some bargains in vessels will be offered at an early dato. Some* of the vessels went through without damage and will probably be bought, back by their original owners in tin* event the government is desirous of disposing of them, but, of course, at a priee far below that at which they were aold. TO PROVE AN EXPRESS TRUST. The Illinois Manufacturers' Association May Sue Companies In the State. Chicago, Sept. 2.—The Illinois Man ufacturers’ association is said by its secretary, M. J. Glenn, to be collecting evidence against several of the leading express companies with the view to establishing that these carriers are acting as a trust in violation of the act to protect trade and commerce against unlawful restraints and mo nopolies. The testimony is to be laid before the United States district at torney. According to Secretary Glenn the ex press companies have declined to enter into competition to carry express mat ter over certain lines of railway, and because the privilege was not given to one company upon its own terms, th«r other companies have attempted to prevent and make it impossible for any express matter to be carried over these lines and have obstructed the carriage from points beyond points, on lines operated by the express companies. The railroad companies which have had this experience with the express companies are the Winona & Western, the Ann Arbor railroad and steamship lines and the Southern Indiana. It is alleged that in furtherance of their plans to stifle competition the express companies have consolidated their offices and agencies at what are designated com mon points and divide the earnings among themselves, giving the public no opportunity to patronize nnj’com pany except the one they designate. ORDERED TO MUSTER OUT. Ten Rep! men t* to lie (ilvcn Transport® t Ion to Their States at Once.
