Gen. lilies has made the following arrange ments for sending troops from the United States to the Philippines to replace the tour regiments of short term, which are to be brought home within the next few months. Two battalions of the Twenty eighth Infantry to sail from San Fran cisco on the Grant on the löth Inst.; one battalion of the Twenty-eighth Infantry to sail from San Francisco on the Warren Dec. 1; a squadron of the Kleventh Cavalry, stationed at Jefferson Barracks, Mo., to pall from San Francisco about Dec. 15 on a transport not yet selected; a squadron of the Eleventh Cavalry, stationed at Fort Ethan Allen, Vt., to sail from New York on the Crook about Dec. 1; a squadron of tie Eleventh Cavalry, stationed at Fort Myer.

WOKS!? THAN MAMLA I1ATTLE. Dewey Would Ilnther Fight Thnn Pre Hlle Over Another Court. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. Admiral Dewey called on President Roosevelt to-day but did not discuss with him the Schley court of Inquiry, except to tell the press that the public sessions of the court would be con cluded In a few days. "When we begin to sift the testimony," said tt.e admiral, "our real work will begin. I told Secretary Long when he asked me to become president of the court that I would rather go through another battle in Manila bay. The hardest part of this work will be wading through the mass of testimony ami reaching our conclusions. I have two able associates, however, and realize that we are on trial before the country as well as Admiral Schley. Two abler, better men could not have been secured than Admirals IUnham and Ramsey." Admiral Dewey said the court probably would take up each charge In the precept, review the testimony, and then give the facts as they found them and give such an opinion as they called for. He did not know that this would be done, as he had not discussed the case with his associates, but it had occurred to him that this would be a good plan. He felt, he said, that the, American people would want the court's reasons in detail and were entitled to know them. WANT 31 i:iro TO PAY. Catholic Prelate PreiiiK Claim for Over One Million Dollar. WASHINGTON, Nov. 2. The Rev. Arch bishop Riordan, of San Francisco, has come to Washington and with Archbishop Ire land has called upon the President. It is understood that one of the purposes of his Visit la to Induce the United States govern ment to renew its efforts to secure the pay ment by the Mexican government to the Catholic Church of California of more than $l.i0.f" due on account of what is known as the "Pious" fund. 1U fore the acquisition of Upper California by the United States, the Catholic churches of Upper and Lower California had on deposit with the Mexican government money and property aggre gating a very large total, upon which the Mexican government was obligated to pay the churches a certain annual Interest. In the case of the church of Upper California this Interest amounted to almost JöO.tM) an nuallv. The interest payments ceased after the Mexican war. but after the lapse of twenty years, a claim in behalf of the church for Interest unpaid came before the Mexican Claims Commission, which allowed the claim. Hut since that date, although the award ws paid by the Mexican gov ernment, there have been no further pay ments of Interest and the present purpose Is to rre?s fur a settlement of this interest accoi u.

Hotr It 31 ny lie Applied to Heroine a Menace PniiiK of the Arc of Cheap Grain Foods. DYSART. Ia.. Nov. 2. The principal speaker at the Republican meeting here to-day was Secretary of Agriculture Wil son, who said in part: "The soul of reciprocity is arranging for buying from certain countries things that we do not produce at home, and selling to them what they require and cannot pro duce. This is a favorable arrangement to both sides. No party authority has ever suggested reciprocity at the expense of any of our home industries. That would be to secure trade abroad at the expense of de velopment at home. We may have Inter ests that would like to thrive upon the de cay of others, but they have no warrant for their tendencies from the exponents of the Republican party. "Reciprocity may become the auxiliary of protection by opening markets for our surplus products of lield and factory in countries where we buy what we don't pro duce, or where we buy much more than we sell, or it may become the assassin of our protective policy by admitting to our mar kets what we do produce that needs pro tection, for the purpose of getting new markets for some of our products that no longer require any favors. "The American manufacturer has been defended by protection. His most reliable friend has been the American farmer, who has had little direct benetit from customs lues, while he has great benefit from the home market at the factory. Our manu facturers are at an advantage compared with foreicn manufacturers because of the abundance and cheapness of food products here. Our grain products are so cheap, comparatively, that they ;o everywhere. "Conditions in our country are changing. Our population is rapidly increasing, while new hinds on which to grow grain are nut increasing. It is within our power to in crease the grain yields of our acres by h bridizit.g. selection and bttter farming, but the age of very cheap grains is passing, not to return while present conditions are maintain d. "Our meats, poultry and dairy products are being gradually excluded from the countries of continental Europe, but our home market needs m.re as population in creases, and our meat supply is mt keeping pace with the population. "There is a struggle among nations at the present time for the markets of the world, ate abundance of cheap food is a prime necessary in this race. The tuition that excludes cheap foodstuffs will fall liehind in the contest. The heavy immigration to our shorts is a continual remindt r that people come for bttter wages, food, clothing, edu cation and general elevation In the scale of life. 'The growth of our country in so many directions Justices tip conclusion that we are tlevt loptag toward a condition of com pleteness as a world's national unit." At the First Baptist Church to-day Mrs. S. B. Riggs will sing the solo in the choral. "Here is Rest." The quartet will have sev eral numbers on the programme. Onee oted Speculator, Whoe Career Wn Full of Adventure, Rn innni'e miel Trnunlj. NEW YORK. Nov. 2. Edward S. Stnkfs. who had be n ill for some time, died this afternoon at the home of his sister. Mrs. McNutt. He was very low ten days ago, but rallied only to sink again. He beg-in tailing last midnight, and his strength slowly ebbed away to the end this after noon. The life of Edward S. Stokes was one of the most remarkable and strenuous of any passed in New York. In his sixty years he lived more than a century. He was known to "old timers" as the man who killed Jim Fisk, and whose sensational threats against Jay Gould and the other Erie Railroad managers were a world-wid? topic of discussion thirty years ago. Stokes was best known to the present generation as the proprietor of the Hoffman House, his Interest in which he sold out to Gra hams Polly, of Brooklyn, for $2J,'). Stokes tirst became prominent in 1S7'', when he at tracted attention in Wall street through the friendship of Jim Fisk and Jay Gould. He came into Wall street as a clerk in a broker's otlice. fresh from graduation in a Philadelphia high school. Fisk was at tracted by his remarkably handsome per sonality, and used him in his stock deals. The great speculator had just installed the famous Josie Mansfield in a brown stone palace at West Twenty-third street. Fisk gave splendid receptions at the Mans field house. Stokes always being a guest, and Fisk soon became jealous. Stokes at that tune was known as the handsomest man in New York, was -the partner of Jay Gould and at the time was one of the men w ho controlled the mom y interests of the country. Stokes and Fisk were partners in the Brooklyn Oil Refin ing Company. Fisk thought he uould win the tight over the woman by ruining Stokes financially. He started out to do this. He had his partner .sted for alleged em bezzlement of tu- company's funds. The warrant was served in the Hoffman House. The woman then determined to help Sted;es since Fisk had slighted her when he found that Stokes had been fooling him for more than a year. She thereupon made the tiht of Stokes her own case, gave stokes all the letters and told him the business secrets which she had from Fisk. It then became a battle where some ene must die. Fisk lost the first suit ami then Stokes sued him for $'jco,(mii damages. Stokes threatened to print all of Fisk's letters to Miss Mansfield unless the money was paid. To add to the war material between the three Mis;' Mansfield went into court with papers which set forth that FisK owed her J.'iO.ocO. Fisk Kot back the letters which Miss Mansfield considered so valuable to him, but he paid a high price for them. She then had him arrested for the cash in debtedness, and alter an exciting day in this suit Miss Mansfield and Stokes went to the home Fisk had given Miss Mansfield in Twenty-third street. They were at luncheon when a messenger rushed in with the an nouncement that Fisk bad caused the issue of a bench warrant for Stokes on an in dictment by the grand jury. Then blokes resolved to kill. Stokes found Fisk at the Grand Central Hotel an hour later and deliberately and coolly pulled u revolver and ?hot him. The legal controversy over the murder made chapters in New York's criminal practice. Stokes hired the best counsel in the land. His edd father put his entire fortune at the disposal of the son It took every cent of it to pet a verdict. Stokes stood for years face to face with the scaffold, but on the third trial he was convicted of man slaughter in the third degree. He was re leased from prison in lsT, having served four years. President Cleveland restored him to full citizenship seven years later, but no one was able to restore his former vigor and financial shrewdness. Stokes, Fisk and Miss 'Mansfield were three people from three different types. Fisk was a Vermont Y'ankee, who started his merchant life as a peddler. His father was a peddler, and both drove wagons over the hills, bartering tinware and cooking utensils for ensh or rags, which wore turned Into cash. Fisk's peddling grew to be a wholesale venture. All his wagons had pictures of himself and wife on tile outside. He was shrewd. The money which he saved gave him enough capital at the beginning of the war to make a successful bid for supplying underwear to the troops. This earned him half a million dollars in a few months and gave him opportiuuty to make a corner In wool in the Rost on market. The next natural step was Wall street. Gould and Drew took him up and Fisk was soon known as the "prince of Erie." He entertained lavishly, spent money lavishly and fell in with the actor folk. This led to Josephine Mansfield. Josephine Mansfield was shrewd shrewd er, because she had no scruples, than Fisk. She was rosy-lipped and buxom. Fisk lost his head under the influence of her beau ty. Fisk's money wa.s her money. He built her a magnificent home, in which he spent more time than he did at his own home. Iiis wife was an educated woman, an heir ess and the mother of a daughter. He de serted them and disgraced them until they left the country until the daughter died and the mother dropped from sight In her shame. Fisk cut all the bridges behind him in Ids infatuation. It was to Josie Mansfield's house he fled when Wall street was plotting his financial ruin. He took Gould and Tweed with him to the place on the celebrated black Friday, and here the three money kings were conceiled for more than seven days. Stokes paid the penalty, as did Fisk. lie was a man of education and birth not a peddler, as Fisk had been. Fisk took Stokes to M's Man.-field and the wenn in at once began to scheme with Stokes to make money out of Fisk. Fisk began to suspec t that the cfen ts in the financial world which he to'd Miss Mansfield were being piddled by her to some one else's advantage, and he put a detective on the track of Stokes. The moment he be Cime convinced of the treachery of the woman and the new favorite he started out to ruin Stokes that she might then have no use for him. Miss Minsticld then came to the assistance of Stokes and the sensational war began. This w.ir almost wrecked the fortunes of all of them, save the savings of Miss Mtnsfild. She profited while all the others were losing. Miss Mansfield did exactly what might have been expected from her, with one of her benefactors d-ad and the other in prison. She gae neither a thought. She went to Faris, remorseless, gay, notorious. Stokes lost her the moment he shot Fisk. Fisk dead and Stokes in jail, it was neces sary for her to seek new victims. When Stokes came out of Sing Sing he was a white-haired man. but he had lost none of his good I oks, health or energy. Hut he was bankrupt, and. besides, owed a large sum to his cousin. W. E. I. Stokes. He met John W. Maekay. who, attracted by his personality, lent him considerable money With this he again became wealthy. Stokes quarreled with Read and W. E. D. Stokes, who had befriended him, and for years has spent much of his time in law yets' offices and the courts, fighting suits brought against him or suing them. Four months ago Stokes returned from Canada and went to his home on West Seventy-ninth street. He became' ill and delirious and frightened his attendants by his ravings. At his request his .-isttr, Mrs. Mary McNutt. was sent fur, and she took him to her own home, 731 St. Nicholas uve nue, where he died. I. I.. Ilciirdtlee. ST. A FG I 'ST I NE, Fla.. Nov. 2.-I.
