I am very much surprised at what the pi oplo think. I ably injured about the face. His nose was cut and nearly broken. Colonel Chapln of the headquarters staff spent mopt of the day yesterday with the Forty severth Regiment. He spoke highly of the work done by the boys from Brooklyn In mimic warfare.

He al3o complimented Colonel Eddy on the neat appearance of his camp. The commissary department has given perfect satisfaction during the encampment here. Two years ago there was a shortage of supplies and the regiment was considerably handicapped by this fact. The officers have profited by the experiment and this year the quantity is sufficient for every need. Iiik I'.

There are three hundred fifii en children iu this home and a healthier cr happier looking lot of boys and girls it would be hard to find, thanks principally to the unremitting care and untiring etiersy of M.

Andrew C. Baird. Secretary of Treasury Declares Disgrace of Occasional; Weak nesses Must Be Borne by All. DEFENDS PROTECTIVE TARIFF. Argues Country Has Always Prospered Under It Anti Trust Law a Republican Measure.

Portland, June 11 The Republicans of this state met here this afternoon and proceeded with the work of organizing for the fall elections. Secretary of the Treasury Shaw was among those who attended and addressed the assembly. He maintained that the tariff policy of the Republican party had always conduced to the prosperity of the country, while, on the other hand, experience of the opposite party's policy had been invariably disagreeable. Mr. Shaw claimed for his party credit for the Sherman antitrust law, and concluded with a reference to the conduct of the American troops in the Philippines.

He took the ground that neither party, more than the other, was responsible for whatever misdeeds had been done. The glory of the Army was national, not partisan. So also should be the burden of any disgrace. The speech was as follows: "We are approaching another annual stockholders' election of a board of directors to manage for us the most gigantic corporation, with the most diversified interests, of which this world has knowledge. Upon the issue now being formulated and joined, rests in no small degree the temporal prosperity and happiness of 80,000,000 people.

For it must be borne in mind that the rival parties do not propose to follow the same policies, or to pursue the same methods. "The pledges about to be made are in neither instance novel nor untried. The country will not be asked to experiment this fall. The affairs of the body politic have been committed again and again to the firm be lievers in each of the two great schools of political science. "And it must be admitted, I think, that both political parties are able to show results and by results, they should be judged The protective principle has always brought high priced labor, and high prices for the products of labor, together with an ever in creasing foreign commerce, while a tariff for revenue only has never failed to produce cheap labor and cheap products of labor.

But instead of this rendering the consumer prosperous and happy, it has invariably driven both capital and labor out of busi ness. "It is not certain, however, that the issue this fall will be tariff reform. But we have had quite a lengthy period of unprecedented prosperity, and if I read history correctly our people have seldom been able to stand prosperity very long. "But while it is fair to presume that in the coming contest considerable attention will be given to that time honored plank in our opponents' platform favoring a revision of the tariff, the arguments, I fancy, will be largely of a local character, and in each section of the country special stress will be laid upon the hardships occasioned by the high prices ot such commodities as are produced elsewhere. "This will lead naturally to strong declarations, and much talk against trusts.

It will be remembered that the trust question came into prominence during Mr. Cleveland's first administration. A commitee appointed to investigate the whole subject only two days prior to the final adjournment of Congress reported, submitting the question to the consideration of subsequent Congresses. Two days after the report was read, Benjamin Harrison, who had been elected upon a platform which promised legislation against trusts, was inaugurated. "The platform on which he was elected was written and read by that great disciple of protection who fell on the sixth day of September last In the city of Buffalo, the victim of an assassin's bullet.

Was that platform obeyed? Ot course it was. And in its obedience the very first bill introduced in the Senate of the Fiftieth Congress was by that revered statesman, John Sherman. It passed both Houses, received the approval of Mr. Harrison, and became the anti trust law which has stood the test from then until now, without amendment. "Gentlemen, the first national platform promising anti trust legislation was written by William McKinley.

The first and only anti trust law ever passed through Congress was introduced by John Sherman. And the mostdetermined effort to enforce that law is now being made by that gallant, intrepid and fearless chief executive, Theodore Roosevelt. "But I think it Is a little early to determine just where the 'bloody angle' of this campaign is to be fought. There are those who insist it will be the conduct of a little band of something over sixty thousand American boys, wearing blue uniforms, sleeping in tents, and fighting as best they know how, under a tropical sun, for the honor of the old flag. "It has been said whether truly or not, I cannot tell that the revered McKinley, not wishing to be outdone in non partisanship, by those who were at the time supporting his administration commissioned into the Army organized in the spring of 1898 a few more officers who disagreed with him politically than of his own party.

If the Army thus constituted has won glory, that glory is national and not partisan. If the personnel of that Army has shown occasional weaknesses, the disgrace rests upon neither party to the exclusion of the other. Gentlemen, let it be understood either that the accomplishments of the Army during the last five years have been Republican achievements, or else let the honors, which have been many, and the lapses, which have been few, be borne by a patriotic people without regard to party and without undue exploitation. It is not an issue and cannot be, whether the American soldier Is a first class man or not." SNYDEB WOLCOTT. A wedding Jn well known Navy circles took place last evening at 8 o'clock in the Church of the Messiah.

Greene and Clermont avenues. A quiet reception, attended only by a few relatives and friends, was held at the residence of the bride's mother, 163 Clinton avenue, the affair being thus restricted because of the death, three months ago, of the bride's father. Commander C. C. Wolcott of the United States Navy.

The groom was Ensign Charles Philip Snyder of the battleship Alabama, now in this port, and the bride. Miss Cornelia Lee Wolcott, who has spent much of her time in Washington, D. C. The family is related to the late General Robert E. Lee and the Carrolls of Carrolltown.

The ceremony was performed by the Rev. St. Clair Hester, rector of the Church ot the Messiah. The best man was the groom's brother, son of Judge Snyder of West Virginia. The bride was given in marriage by C.

Stanton Wolcott of Washington. The younger json of Lieutenant T. G. Dewey of the Alabama, a nephew of Admiral Dewey, and Mrs. Dewey, the bride's sister, a native of Virginia, preceded the bridal party as page, carrying the bride's shower bouquet of white sweet The bride wore an exquisite gown of duchess lace, and wore diamonds, the gift of the groom.

Ensign and Mrs. Snyder left last night after the reception for a bridal tour. After their return they will remain In Brooklyn as long as the Alabama Is in port. The battleship is on a three years' cruise. Mrs.

Dewey will spend the summer at Newport. FILIPINOS WANT PEACE. To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: A letter just received from a teacher in one of the Philippine Islands contains two or three extremely interesting statements which I think will interest your readers, and I therefore send them for what they aro worth. The statements are: "I am glad you are doing all yon can in a public way to correct some of the errors wo meet on every hand. These islands can be made as valuable as any possession of our ON CHARGE OF TREASON.

Wiember for Galway Fought With the Boers in South Africa. CHARGE TO BE HEARD SATURDAY Arrest Made on the Arrival of the Colonel From Dieppe, France. London, June 11 Colonel Arthur Lynch, who fought with the Boers in South Africa and who in November last was elected to represent Galway in the House of Commons, was arrested this morning on his arrival at Newhaven from Dieppe, France. Colonel Lynch, who was accompanied by his wife, was brought to London and was afterward taken to the Bow street police station. Subsequently Colonel Lynch was arraigned at the Bow street police court on the charge of high treason and was remanded until Saturday, June 14, after formal evidence of his arrest had been presented.

The prisoner, who was described on the charge sheet as a "Journalist" sat in the dock apparently unconcerned until the magistrate asked him if he had anything to say in reply to the charge. The colonel, who Is tall, erect and of military bearing, then arose, grasped the iron railing in front of the dock, hesitated and finally almost inaudibly replied: sir." Colonel Lynch, who did not apply for bail, was taken to the cells. When he was searched nothing but a small sum of money was found on his person. The Irish Nationalists in the House of Commons this afternoon heckled the ministers on the subject ot the arrest of Colonel Lynch. They wanted to know why the colonel hal not the same right to surrender as other burghers.

The government leader, A. J. Balfour, replied tersely: "He is not a burgher." John Redmond, the Irish leader, and J. G. Swift MacNeil (Nationalists), then turned to the secretary of state for home affairs, Mr.

Ritchie, and asked him why he had not fulfilled his ministerial duty in informing the1 House of Colonel Lynch's arrest on the charge of high treason. Mr. Ritchie denied that it was his duty to so Inform the House but when the Irish members appealed to the Speaker. William Court Gullv. the latter nn i held the Nationalist contention that the usual practice was to inform the House of Commons of such an incident through the Speaker.

Further questions were ruled out of order and the subject was dropped. Lieutenant Colonel John Philip Nolan (Nationalist) applied this afternoon for the release of Colonel Lynch on bail, but the magistrate said he had no power to grant the request. 10,000,000 CAPITAL? Alleged Details of British Shipping Trust Scheme 500,000 Subsidy, and Interest Guarantee. London, June 11 The newspapers here continue to discuss the British shipping combination as thotigh the project had assumed much more tangible shape than is yet admitted by those who are in a position to know the facts in the case. The Westminster Gazette to day intimates that the Cunard line will not Join in forming the proposed Canadian British line, and says, the colonial secretary, Mr.

Chamberlain, favors subsidizing the latter project rather than the Cunard plan, which is more specially directed against the Morgan shipping combine. According to the Westminster Gazette the capital of the Canadian British line will be 10.000.000 of which 8,000,000 ($42,500,000) will be expended on six twenty five knot vessels and a dozen freight steamers. Including a 200.000 ($1,000,000) subsidy from Canada, the promoters, it is added, anticipate a total subsidy of 500,000 besides an imperial guarantee of interest on the capital, amounting to 300,000 ($1,500,000) yearly. The Westminster Gazette further asserts that the negotiations for a guarantee of the Interest on the capital are so far advanced that the only point at issue is whether lt shall be 2 per cent, or 3 per cent. AUSTRIAN HOUSE TURBULENT.

Premier Criticises Memhers Who Objected to German Kaiser's Anti Polish Speech A Noisy Demonstration. Vienna, June 11 There were further turbulent scenes in the lower house of the Roichs rath to day, when both the president of the House, Count Vetter von der Lilie, and the premier, Dr. von Koerber. scathingly criticised Dr. von Klofal and other members who yesterday protested violently against the anti Polish speech recently delivered by Emperor William of Germany at Marienburg, on the occasion of the completion of the work of restorins the ancient castle there.

The Premier said he especially regretted the invectives directed against a sovereign who since his accession had been a faithful ally of Austria Hungary. In conclusion, the Premier curtly refused to reply to an interpellation on the subject of the German Emperor's speech. The Premier's remarks were greeted with a storm of mingled cheers and cries of disapproval, the banging of desks and ether noisy protests. The protests against Emperor William's anti Polish speech resulted in the suspension of the sitting of the lower house of the Austrian Reichsrath yesterday. The Radical Czechs denounced the Austrian government as "cowardly" and as "trembling before Emperor William," etc.

KECEIVES WHITELAW KEID. London, June 11 Whitelaw Reid, the special ambassador of the United States to the coronation of King Edward, was received in audience by his majesty at Buckingham Palace this afternoon. The King received Mr. Reid in the most cordial manner and expressed bis gratification at seeing him again in the capacity of special ambassador of the United States. DIAMOND LOCKET FOR AUDETT.

Druggists Show Their Appreciation of His Work in the Legislature Trading Stamps Condemned. The Kings County Pharmaceutical Society at its meeting yesterday presented to Senator A. J. Audett a diamond locket as token of the appreciation the society feels for his work for the druggists In the State Legislature. It was Senator Audett who introduced the bill giving to the druggists the right to manufacture their own soda water.

The bill passed at the last session of the Legislature. The society passed a resolution condemning the use of trading stamps by druggists. This practice has grown considerably, and it means, according to the druggists, about 5 per cent, loss of profits to them. The secretary appeal sent out in circular form resulted in $1,500 being added to the building fund. The following new members were elected: Walter Bryan, M.

POINTS ABOUT MUSEUMS. Labels at museums are passed over indifferently by most people as being quite a matter of course, few thinking of the care and time put into their making. Yet curators consider them of supreme importance, listen for comments of visitors, notice what style attracts the most attention, and, if a prominent label is not read as much as the man who put it there thinks it should be, he straightway sets his brains at work to devise something that shall attract attention. Position, the way the light falls, and numerous other things are taken into consideration, an evidence of this being the twenty new transparencies, showing remarkable natural features of this country, which hang in the Geographical room at the Museum, Eastern parkway. These are, of course, against the light, so the usual label did not show and it was only after much experimenting that the labels just put upof dull black paper with silver lettering were adopted.

At this museum simplicity of expression is sought. So far as possible Greek derivatives and terms not to be understood by the people are eliminated, or, where necessary, are placed so as not to interfere with quick reading. It is supposed that the scientist knows these terms and so does not need them. The method will perhaps be best understood by the following copy: ASBESTOS. Asbestos is commonly called mountain leather, mountain wool.

etc. Pliny states that the Romans made from it an incombustible cloth. It Is a normal mr taslllcate ot calcium, magnesium and iron, and is a variety of amphlbole. This new system has just gone into effect. Black cards with gold lettering are used for all the fine art exhibits at the Museum, but for other departments a yellow paper with black lettering takes its place.

For these twenty to twenty five sheets of a special cardboard, 34x21 Inches in size, are cut tip each month and printer Houghtaling can print abput 800 labels in that time. The largest labels, those that are framed, are 6 by 9 Inches, the next size, also framed, being a square of 5 inches, and the smallest Is about half the width of a correct "gentleman's card." It must be remembered that all are different, and even though both ends of an object are labeled the story is purposely made different that more attention may be attracted. Until the present year all the labels were made by Herbert B. Judy, the Museum artist, but tbe work grew to be so great that it was found to be necessary to employ a printer, who has his press in the apartment off the geographical room and is one of the busiest men in the Museum. Beside labels he is soon to get out outline maps upon which may traced the migrations of birds or any great event located, upon which public attention is focused.

Ordinary maps have too much detail for this. The employment of a printer does not take away all labels from Mr. Judy, but those he now makes take the form of an accompanying water color sketch. Thus, beside a dried "sea lily" appears the picture of the plant animal in all its natural beauty of form and color. It is proposed to have such labels wherever needful.

(Special to the Eagle.) State Camp, Peekskill, N. June 11 The Forty seventh Regiment of Brooklyn, returned to State Camp, this morning, after a day and a half at Camp Roe, on Lake Mohe gan. The Forty seventh relieves the Sixty ninth New York, in the made camp, on the east plane this afternoon, and the latter regiment takes the march to LakeMohegan. The regiment returned to day over the lower road. Reveille was sounded at 4:45, breakfast was served at 5 o'clock, and the regiment broke camp at 6.

They started on the march at 8:30, and reached here at 11 The regiment marched slowly and did not attempt to make fast time. They marched into camp in fine condition, and gave little evidence of the long, hard tramp. The order of an army moving in a hostile country was maintained, with an advance and rear guard. The morning was cool and a light shower settled the dust. Only three men were brought into camp in the ambulance.

Two of these were exhausted on the trip, and the third was wounded by an accidental kick in the face last night by a com panion. Captain Charles F. Maxfield was officer of the day. Lieutenant Frank J. Mc Cann and Lieutenant Robert T.

Moran were officers of the guard. Colonel Chapln and Captain Scott, from General Roe's staff, accompanied the regiment on the march. The Forty seventh remained on the parade ground until the Sixty ninth left this afternoon. They will remain here until Saturday. While at Lake Mohegan, National Guardsmen and the rustic ferrymen who ply their little skiffs on the waters adjoining the camp, were engaged in a guerrilla warfare.

The oarsmen had taken the offensive by raising the fares, and the guardsmen had boycotted the ferries. So strained was the situation between them that the guardsmen were warned not to carry out their threats oi "putting the oarsmen out of business." The canteen located across the lake from the camp was deserted by the men of the Forty seventh Regiment. This popular place has been the rendezvous of the regiments who have encamped here this year and In former years. It is located in an attractive bit of wood near the shore and a liberal supply of all brands of tonics has teen most welcome to the soldiers. So popular has the place become that several natives of the vicinity have established a ferry system across the lake.

A half dozen of them have barge boats on the lake. The fare always been 5 cents for a ride each way. Yesterday the ferrymen, following the example set by the ferrymen at Peekskill, raised the fare to 10 cents each way. There was indignation in the camp of the Forty seventh when the news was spread that the faro had been raised. The men were thoroughly angry and at onco started a boy cott and every man in every company agreed to "cut out" the canteen.

"That makes it 25 cents a glass for beer," said a husky corporal of one of the companies. "It was bad enough at 15 cents and if we were home we wouldn't drink the beer they set up at any price. A man should be paid for drinking that stuff, anyhow. I like all and I. drink as much as.

any man in the company. I can go without it, too, as long as any man in the company. I'll choke before I let those Indians bunco me." The boycott was effective. The ferry men sat Idly on the dock last evening smoking their pipes and waiting for xhe passengers who did not come. Never before have so few men from a regiment visited the canteen and never before since the Forty seventh reached state camp, have they consumed so small a quantity of beer as they did last night.

The ferrymen on the regular route between the state camp grounds and Peekskill went on strike yesterday afternoon, and for two hours visitors were compelled to walk to and from the camp, a distance of two miles. The trouble began last Suhday morning. When the men who ran the boats formed a trust and agreed to raise the price of each ride from 5 cents to 10 cents. Since the establishment of the camps fifteen years ago, the fare has been 5 cents, and the members of the National Guard and civilians who have been here each year objected to the sudden raise. Many of them went to Colonel Ward with their complaints.

On Monday theJer rymen split the combination and a few of them returned to the 5 cent fare. Yesterday they held a conference and decided to stand together on the advance. Several passengers came to the ferry, refused to pay the price and walked to camp. Then the ferrymen visited headquarters to petition the leading officials for permission to charge a dime. They assembled in Colonel Ward's tent and it was several minutes before any of them found courage to explain the object of the visit.

Colonel Ward gave his consent and the oarsmen left with demonstrations. A new sign was put up by the colonel's orderly this afternoon, stating that the price had been raised. "Youse fellers've got ter pay us our price now or walk," an oarsman said tauntingly to a guardsman of the Sixty ninth. go on, we'll buy boats and row for nothin' to put you out of replied the soldier. A Hebrew visited Major Lynch of the headquarters' staff at his tent in Luxury Row, last evening.

"These soldiers, dey have robbed me of my money, already. Two dollars is gone," he complained. "Who took your money, my man? If you Will identify him I will have him court mar tialed," said the Major angrily. "I cannot tell you; dey all looks alike. It was in Company Several men from that company were summoned to headquarters.

"Do you men know anything about who stole money from this fellow?" "Yes, sir. We bought some handkerchiefs of him and he refused to give us the change. We had to take it away from him; that's all." "You stole my handkerchiefs, too. I did not have no change." "Who is lying? I'll find out about this. Did you say this man stole your goods and money, too.

stepping to the door, "will you come in here a moment? Here's a piece of chicanery which we must settle up." But the guardsmen could not keep straight faces any longer and the corporal who had been summoned introduced the Hebrew as a member of Company who is spending the week in camp. Shortly after taps sounded last night much commotion was made in camp by the announcement that a member of Company of the Sixty ninth Regiment had dropped dead. The doctors were called, the officer of the day and several other officers hurried to a tent where the corpse was laid on a cot, under blankets and banked in ice. The newspaper men were summoned to get the obituary. The friends of the ma were kneeling about the cot with bared heads and the blaze from the five candles which had been lighted made an impressive scene.

"He died of acute indigestion," said a member of the hospital corps. "I very much regret this, men. We will hold a public service over the remains tomorrow." said Captain William J. B. Daly.

"Will you make a word of prayer?" the sergeant said to a newspaper man. One of the men who was kneeling snickered and then the entire assemblage burst into an uproar. It is a question to day whether Captain Daly or the newspaper man had the worst of the joke. While being tossed in a blanket Private Richards of Company Forty seventh Regiment, fell to the ground and was consider PARISH AID ENTERTAINMENT. A Talk on Martinique and Strawberries at Church of Atonement.

The Parish Aid Society of the Church of the Atonement, in Seventeenth street, near Fifth avenue, gave an entertainment and strawberry festival In the church last night. The affair was largely attended by members of the society and young men and women of the parish and the programme was much enjoyed. The entertainment was opened with an address by the pastor, after which Mrs. Helen Barr rendered the "Chariot Race of Ben Hur" and other selections. The pastor, the Rev.

Edwin Homer Wellman, gave a brief talk on Martinique and St. Vincent, which was illustrated by colored lantern slides, and the quartet of the church sang the "Ascension" hymn, with lantern scenes and organ accompaniment by W. H. James, organist of the church. The entertainment was brought to a close with a strawberry festival.

TALKS OF CANADA'S PROGRESS. TJ. S. Consul at Montreal Impressed With Growth of Steel Industry American Capital Aids Enterprise. (Special to the Eagle.) Washington, June 11 The extraordinary industrial development of our Canadian neighbors during the past year, particularly in the iron and steel industry is shown by the report made public by the State Department, from John L.

Bittinger, U. S. Con sul General at Montreal. He says: "A country that has vast deposits of iron ore has a solid foundation for commercial ascendency. Few countries have more iron ore than the Dominion of Canada.

It has also coal. The immense value of these deposits has only been fully appreciated within th3 last few years. Americans were really the first to realize the immense resources here. They have entered i.na joined' capital with Canadians of wealth, and organized the iron and steel industry. The works are un der the direction of Americans experienced tn this line, and in two years the progress has been astoundingly rapid.

Steel rails and heavy sections of structural steel form a large part of the iron consumed in Canada. Up to a recent date every ton of this material was imported. Now, the country is beginning to export. The new mills at Sault Ste. Marie are producing both steel rails and structural steel.

At Sydney a steel rail mill is in process of construction, and steel billets and blooms are already, being made. At New Glasgow, Hamilton and Collingwood a similar expansion in other lines of steel is taking place. In all these places American capital is dominant. Althqfcgh the production for 1901 is about three times as large as that for the year previous, the building of new plants insures a much greater increase this year. Canada does not yet produce nearly enough for home wants, which are estimated at 800,000 tons a year.

In the first eight months of the present fiscal year Canada has exported 68,669 tons' of pig iron, valued at $661,531 that is to say, the exports for the first eight months show an increase of 463 per cent, over year. In 1897 the value of Canada's total exports of "iron and steel manufactures thereof" was in 1901, $3,717,537. Nevertheless, the total value of the import in this line in 1901 amounted to $27,107,419.

JOHN T. McDONOUGU. Secretary cf Statu COMMANDANT KEMP QUITS. Is Satisfied With Peace Terms and Has No 111 Feeling Against England Expects No Bitterness in the Future. Mafeking, Bechuana Land, June II Commandant Kemp, General Delarey's trusty lieutenant, surrendered hero Kemp looks worn and has aged considerably.

He was a clerk in the mining commissioner's office before the war and now to take up farming. He said his command, consisting of 1,000 men, surrendered nt Doornkop June 6. A few men were still out. but they were coining in to day. He hud been averse to yielding, but recognized the opinion of the majority.

"Wo did our best," continued the commandant, "and must therefore be satisfied. As Lord Kitchener said, no shame is attached to our giving up. We were outnumbered. We might have continued fightiuw for another couple of years, but with no certainty of success. I am quite satisfied with the terms and have no ill feeling agaln.st England.

I think there will be no bitterness in the future. Wc shall get on all right together. I expected to win and only quite recently realized the hopelessness of our cause. 1 have given to the burghers my reasons for yielding. One reason was that the eastern part of the Transvaal had no foodstuffs whatever.

West Transvaal, however, had enough food for two years more. "Regarding the concentration camps, I saw the local camp this morning and am nuite convinced that everything is in good order." Many of the Boers who have surrendered were dressed in well made sheepskin clothes. The men, as a rule, were In remarkably good health and were cheerful. London, June 11 A dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated from Pretoria yesterday, announces that Van Tonder's and Van Heerden's commands, having with them 103 riiies. have surrendered near Ventersdorp Camp.
