Washington, July 14 Secretary Hay received a call this morning from W. Barclay the engineer representing tbe American Railway Concessionaires controlling the projected railroad from Canton to Hankow, China. Mr. Parsons explained at some length to the Secretary the obstacles that have been encountered by his company in carrying out its concessions. The Chinese government is ostensibly held to be obstructing the concessionaires, but behind that government, and urging it unwillingly on its course, are foreign influences, occording to Mr.

Parsons, which are striving to secure for themselves this concession. Mr. Parsons represented that an English company holding the concession for a line from Canton to Kowloon was prepared to unite interests with the American corporation and effect a combination to maintain themselves against these foreign influences. The British government would naturally look after tbe Interests of its subjects and the American corporation asks Secretary Hay to take similar action to require the Chinese government to permit of the execution of the concession. Secretary Hay promised to lay the matter before the President.

The first step to be taken Is to secure from United States Minister Conger at Pekin an exact statement of the facts upon which to proceed. The Chinese government has already been distracted by the rival claims of England and Russia to railroad concessions in Northern China, and. tbe present conflict in the South promises to be quite as difficult of adjustment. BOAT AND HARBOR PATROL. Under the Reorganization the Patrol Will Be in Charge of the Harbor Police.

Chief Devery was not at his office yesterday when an Eagle reporter called to ask him about the reorganization of the steamboat and harbor patrol squad in its relation to the miles of water front on the Brooklyn side of the river and bay. Deputy Chief Mackellar was in the dark as to the intentions of the Chief in the matter, for he had not been consulted, he said, but there is a very general belief that it will be to the benefit of property interests of Brooklyn aloilg the river front. At present the Brooklyn front is in charge of two launches, one a naphtha launch and the other of the alco vapor pattern. Each has six men, including the pilots. During the summer months one of the launches is doing duty on Canarsie Bay and the other is assigned to work along the water front in the Eastern District.

The South Brooklyn and Red Hook districts on the river front has been attended to by the regular harbor police. It is not likely that there will be much change except tbat the entire harbor patrol force will be in charge of the harbor police which has headquarters at the foot of Whitehall street in Manhattan. The new move is a part of the policy to centralize all the work of the police force in Manhattan and it will be under the domination of Tammany more than ever. Hitherto the work of the harbor police in Brooklyn has been in charge of the Clymer street and Amity street police. VANDERBILT DENIES DEAL.

No Truth, He Says, in Report Concerning the New York Central. Milwaukee, July 15 William K. Vanderbilt to day wired the Milwaukee Journal saying there is absolutely no truth in the report that tbe New York Central, which he controls, and its allied companies are planning to obtain control of other lines of railroad in order to make a through line from the Atlantic to the Pacific. REDUCTI0 AD ABSURDUM. An Ingenious Bacteriological Explanation of Why a Chestnut Cures Rheumatism.

To the Editor of the Brooklyn Eagle: It has long been a matter of the greatest wonder to me that rheumatism could be cured by carrying a chestnut in the pocket. I have thought and thought on this momentous question; but all to no purpose, until a few days since, when I read an article on bacteriology. The article in question was learned, so very learned, indeed, that for some time after I had read it, it seemed to me that I knew nothing. After a long period, this state of mental coma passed, and was followed by one of greater hopefulness. I began to realize that I had really learned many things and to joyously apply to the misty recesses of past mental blacknesses some of the new bacteriological light, which is, I presume, in the nature of the will 'o the wisp.

Almost at once, as I began to recover from a mental shock such as was supposed to have made St. Paul mad, I said to myself: "Ah, now, now at last I have found the reason why the carrying of a chestnut in the pocket will cure one of rheumatism!" As the days have passed, this theory has taken form and shape, and I now give it to your readers, as it has developed not like the microbes, by segmentation; but as a body, fully organized. In each little chestnut there lurks a tiny being, known to the esoteric as "the germ of rheumatism." When the chestnut is carried in the pocket it shakes about with a rough, uneasy motion, unlike the gentle swaying of the branch from which it once hung, and after a time, the germ of rheumatism, feeling restless and unhappy, comes out "seeking whom it may devour." In some way, as yet wholly unknown (even to science) it enters the body of the rheumatio. At once the white blood corpuscles, which have been prettily named "the policemen of the blood," rush upon the intruder and drive it eat it up. Finding they aTe in the majority these policemen take heart, as some of their human brethren have occasionally been known to do, under similar auspicus circumstances, and they turn upon the germs of rheumatism, which before had found place in the body, and cast them out also.

This Is a beautiful theory quite worthy of the inventive brain of a bacteriologist. Let all afflicted with rheumatism carry chestnuts in their pockets; but let me here and now warn those who do not suffer from this disease against the use of this specific. Of course, we all know that all cures founded on bacteriology are and must ever be in falible; but no such certainty can be looked for in other cases. If, for instance, the person using the chestnut did not really have rheumatism, but only fancied that he was suffering from that disease, the germ might enter bis body from the chestnut, the policemen might neglect their duty and the germ might take possession of his system, to his great discomfort.

MORRIS. Yonkers, N. July 10, 1899. SAY TROLLEY SERVICE IS POOR. A petition is being circulated by business men and women using the Flushing Avenue Trolley Line asking the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company to give better service.

Friday the line was tied up for almost half an hour, and yesterday the same thing was reported. It is alleged that the inspectors pay little or no attention to the movement of cars when the cars get behind time. This soon causes the road to be tied up, and, being a line across the city, causes no end of annoyance. EXECUTIVE OFFICER FOR DETROIT Lieutenant Commander J. C.

At 715 in the Sixteenth Ward, ara the offices of the Hebrew American League of Brooklyn, an organization which will doubtless develop into one of the most beneficial societies, in so far as the Russian Jews are concerned in the country. While the league is of comparatively recent organization, it is the outgrowth of work that has been going on among tbe Jewish settlements of Brooklyn by private individuals for about two years. This work had for its object the elevating of tbe poor and ignorant Jews to a spirit of citizenship and progressive ideas in their habits and business. The people individually lending their aid to their fellow religionists gradually came together into a quasi association, and did much good. But it was found by tho more energetic among these men that a great deal of work was being done that did not realize the results desired and Max Schaffer of 176 Boerum street was the leader who crystallized independent individual effort into the form of the league.

Mr. Schaffer called a number of his countrymen together and after several conferences the Hebrew American League was incorporated and a charter was issued by the Secretary of State early in May. The incorporators and directors were William Llebermann, Max Schaffer, William Gross, Heyman Welt zer, A. Harkavy, Joseph Braude, Jacob Shapiro, Louis Sapan, Louis Slutsky, Morris Ri slncoff, M. Friedman, S.

Solaman, M. Edel blum. In addition to these men representatives from the following congregations, lodges and societies formed the original membership which numbered less than 200. Congregation Tillen Anshe Brooklyn No. 3, Odessa Unterstutzung Verein.

Congregation Sfard Anshe Llebovltc of Brooklyn, First Brooklyn Roumanian American Congregation, Kurlander Young Friends, Wllllamsburgh Congregation of Beth Hamldrosch Hagedel, Congregation Kaiser Thora, Kings County Lcde, Congregation Genuleth Crossed A. Congregation Leches Yoscher, Cbevr 2 Anshe Sholon Anshe Sfard Gallclen, Congregation Aslfas Israel, Congregation Chebra Kadlsha of Brooklyn, Kalseren Ellzabach K. U. B. Greater New York Lodge No.

173. I. O. B. Tlsfereth Israel Verein, Congregation Elz Chain Anshe Lubln, Hungarian Hebrew Congregation, House of Aaron.

On the organization of the league these officers were elected: William Llebermann, president; Max Schaffer, first vice president; Morris Rlsincoff, second vice president: Louis Slutsky, treasurer; Joseph Braude, financial sscretary; A. Harkvy, recording secretary. The rooms of the league have been open about seven weeks and the present membership is over 500. From those who can afford it, an annual fee of $1 is expected. But the lack of that is no bar to becoming a member, but all who feel an interest in the league and who care to tako advantage of the benefits held out may become members at will.

The only expense the league will be under will be the rent of an office or meeting room, the rental of a public hall occasionally and the expense of teachers and speakers, who will Instruct tho members in these halls. One of the provisions of the charter is that no officer or clerk shall receive any pay for his services. The congregations and societies named above have become contributors to the funds. According to the charter, the purposes of the league are to interest the Russian Jews in the study, cultivation and promulgation of the principles of American citizenship; for promoting the interests of good government and for the mutual voluntary benefit, aid and advantage of the members, or those applying for assistanco, and for engaging counsel to assist the members In their troubles. It is the object of the men who are active in the work of the league to cultivate the minds of the members and impress upon them the necessity of becoming familiar with the laws and ordinances of the city government and the state in which they live.

The purpose is to make these Russian Jews who come from a condition of life and habits in their native country that is almost beyond the conception of an American, good members oi society and supporters of the government under which they live by inculcating in them the principles of citizenship. They will be taught to Improve their habits in business and social life, to do away with the old customs and usages they have brought from Russia and to conform to the customs and habits of the American. The men who are already citizens will be better instructed in their duties and privileges. Those who are not citizens will be put under a course of instruction before being made such. The necessity for these reforms among this class of Jews has been apparent to their fellows for a long time, and they believe that by instructing them in the laws and customs of their surroundings, getting them away from the habits that tend to hold them up to ridicule and persecution, they will most effectually do away with the custom that obtains in these settlements of what is called "Jew baiting," and make the unprovoked assaults on both men and women by the ruffians of the neighborhood a thing of the past.

Recently a committee, headed by Mr. Schaffer, called upon President York of the Bolice Board for the purpose of gaining his aid for the league, and in relieving the defenseless Jews of Brooklyn of trouble thrust upon them by the lawless element in the community. President York was most courteous in his reception of this committee, listened to their presentation of facts, and promised his every assistance in stopping the persecution. Since that time Mr. York's ford has been kept faithfully and the members of the league are unanimous in their praise of the police, who have been a great factor in restoring confidence among the residents of the Jewish settlements.

The office of the league is open every day till 9 o'clock, and there will always be found in attendance a lawyer whose services in looking after the troubles of the members are rendered free of charge. William Llebermann is the chier legal advisor and through him the league has already accomplished much in prosecuting those who have been in the habit of assaulting the Jews. It is the purpose of the league to hold once or twice every week meetings at which speakers will address the members in both Hebrew and English on the laws and usages of America. In addition to this tho league will hold mass meetings in every section of Brooklyn, at which the ablest Jewish speakers obtainable will address all who have a mind to attend, whether members or not, In their mother tongue. The rapid growth in the membership is the best indication of the popularity of the league.

Philadelphia, July 15 The general committee of the Grand Army of the Republic, under the active management of General Louis "Wagner and Colonel R. B. Beath, is working hard to make the thirty third national encampment, to be held in this city tho first week in September, the greatest in the history of the organization. Many novel features are under contemplation, and when the veterans gather they will be both surprised and gratified at the reception awaiting them. The committee and the people generally ara saying that nothing shall be too good for the soldiers when they get here, and Philadel phlans always keep their promises when the question of hospitality to the nation's fighting men is the one under consideration.

It will be a great pity if a single veteran, in any part of the country, shall be unable to attend, and those who are financially embarrassed should be helped by their friends, so that they may meet their old comrades in arms and enjoy the delights which are being prepared for them by the good people of Philadelphia. The most interesting event, in connection with the national encampment was the raising of the flag over the site for the great camp, in Fairmount Park, on the Fourth of July. Many veterans, with their friends, gathered on the spot, and at twilight the beautiful Stars and Stripes went to the top of the pole amid shouts and cheers from fully ten thousand persons. The Sons of Veterans battalion and Battery did the honors on this occasion, and Colonel Henry Douglas Hughes delivered the oration. The camp site is beautifully located and tents will pitched to accommodate fully ten thos and men.

It will be the finest camp ever located at a veterans' reunion and will prove a decided feature of what is sure to be the most memorable occasion in the history of the Grand Army. All Philadelphia is sorry that Mrs. Grant will not be w'ith the "boys" in September. This is what she says in the letter: Saratoge Springs. N.

July 1. Col. R. B. Beath Dear Sir? Mrs, Grant directs me to say that much as she would like to be present at the thirty third annual reunion of the Grand Army of the Republic, to he held in Philadelphia.

September 4 9. 1S95, she regrets It will not be possible. Mrs. Grant la spending the summer in Saratoga and will net go South until October. Mrs.

Grant wishes to return her thanks, through you, to the general committee for their kind thought of her. Respectfully, M. E. for Mrs. U.

S. Mrs. John A. Logan, widow of the famousr' Western soldier, will doubtless be here. She writes this way: My Dear Colonel Beath I shall make every effort to attend the national encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic nnd I assure you I greatly value your kind Invitation.

With best wishes for the glorious order and for yourself personally, I am, very truly, Mrs. JOHN A. LOGAN. Chicago, 2,131 Calumet avenue. June 29.

1899. The following is from the widow of the late commander in chief, who passed away while in office. Chicago, July 3, 1S99, Col. R. B.

Beath, My Dear Your kind letter and beautiful souvenir Invitation to the thirty third national encampment reached me. Please accept my sincere thanks for your kind remembrance of mfi, I cannot tell yott. how deeply touched I am that my dear husband, although "absent in the body," is not forgotten and how highly 1 appreciate your honoring MB memory by naming the camp for the accommodation of the veterans after him. It was always ma greatest pleasure in life to meet with, his comrades of the Grand Army at their annual reunions and it seems as if it were almost impossible to have an encampment without him. It is a comforting? thought, however, to know he will be missed by those he leved so well.
