Secretary Long has issued an order for an experiment of the utmost importance to the navy. The purpose is to Fee how much time would be occupied in putting into con dition ,for active naval service a part of the United States fleet to meet an inerpency. The vessels selected for the experiment are the battleship In diana and Massachusetts, now laid up in ordinary at League island with a skeleton organization of officers and men aboard. Captain Dickins com mands the Indiana and has six offi cers and about ir0 men under him. The Jlassitthusetts is under command of Captain Train with four officers and about lf0 sailors. Orders were telegraphed Admiral Casey, the commandant of the League Island yai'd, and the two captains above named to put the ships into con dition for immediate service to last at hast sixty days. No notice had been Iieviuusly given of the department's Intention. By the terms of the order the ships must clear League Island in nide of three days. The officers who have projected the experiment hope to do better than that. The ships each have about 6.0 tons of coal aboard, but must lie supplied with food, maps, bed ding, ammunition, etc. The hardest Question to deal with in the present straits of the navy is that of personnel. Officers were wired lit once and it was necessary to rob snme of the bureaus of the navy de partment of much needed assistants. The officer most remote from League Island is Lieut. Wilson at Boston, so that all of them should be aboard ship by tomorrow .night. The Hartford's crew now at Norfolk has been ordered to leave for League Island and from her numerous crew the complements of the Indiana and Massachusetts will be brought up to the standard. About r,i) men and twelve officers will be re quired for each battleship. CONFIRMED BY SENATE. A Large Number of Presidential Ap pointments Sanctioned. Washington, June 6.

It is not so easy to arrange a tempt ing breakfast for a hot morning, but everyone appreciates such a breakfast and enjoys the relief from the heated rilood caused by a meat and coffee breakfast. In fact by skillful selection of food, fven the hottest day' can be made quite comfortable. Start with fruit of some kind, then a dish of Grape-Nuts food with cold cream, one or two soft boiled tggs, a tUice of bread and butter and a cup of cocoa or Postum Food Coffee. On that Kurt of meal one will be fully nourished until the mid-day. Grape-Nuts food Is concentrated and powerful, imparting to the user a sense f reserve force and strength. The strong man thinks the weather moder ate and comfortable when the nervous, weak man thinks it unbearably hot. Grape-Nuts food is perfectly cooked at the factory and ready for instant use, cool and delicious, requiring no hot etove and cross cook on a hot morning. Health is a matter of wise selection of food and a. contented mind." Wights f or the Shildren ! hi - -r?-&&- 11 it SOLD BY ent honors for the past year were awarded.

A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The promenade from Cape Town to Pretoria was ended yesterday after a battle of manoeuvers, rather than ser ious fighting. Lord Roberts gives a de tailed description of this engagement, and helps thereby to dignify the entry of the British troops into the capital. The details have a hollow ring, and it is not clear that the resistance offered by the Boers was serious. The Boers, when attacked by the mounted infantry and the yeomanry, fell back upon a position in the rear, where they had concealed several guns. The naval guns and the batteries of artillery moved tip with the infantry brigade behind them, and the Dutch retired. The Boers then made a feeble attempt to turn the left flank of the British army but were thwarted when General Hamilton's column of mounted infantry filled the gap. The Boers retreated and Lord Roberts' army after bivouacking over night, entered Pretoria yesterday afternoon, the guards leading the way. The casualties were not heavy and the engagement was a series of manoeuvres on each side.with- out desperate or persistent fighting in the dense Dutch stronghold. Lord Roberts was embarrassed by the Earl of Rosslyn's enterprise last week in revealing the helplessness of panic stricken Pretoria and the facility with which it could be entered by the British troops and he was deprived of the cred it of forcing his way into the Boer cap ital, since the eagerness of the officials to surrender the town was proclaimed when he was not prepared to advance. Py waiting six days he gave to the Boers time to recover from their panic and to make some show of defending the capital. The account of Monday's engagement and Tuesday's entry is bet ter reading for each side in consequence of the delay. The Boers have the credit ! for making a final stand at Siv TUiit. Spruit End of seeking to ambuscade the Biitish and then to outflank them, and Lord Roberts, instead of marching in several days after the enemy had scut tled out, has the satisfaction of entering the capital in gallant style after a suc cessful engagement. Lord Roberts does not appear to have useu more tnan two brigades of in fantry, with a strong body of ravalrv. and wliiie the heavy guns were kent well in front, there was little work for them. He had stationed two brigades of cavalry north of Pretoria and Gen eral Hamilton s column to the west and had not attempted to concentrate his forces, since the Boer commandoes were not strong. After a few hours of manoeuvering the capital was left defenseless. The forts, constructed at the expense of the mine owners and strengthened during me war. were aoanaonea, tne creusots and Krupps and the famous Long Toms, which were to render Pretoria impregnable, were taken east to the mountains and the capital, of which President Kruger's burghers had boasted would be defended for month after month, was surrendered after' a single feeble engagement. The facility with which Johannesburg and Pretoria have been taken leads many military men to suspect that there has been a secret understanding between President Kruger and the British government by which the war will be brought to an end without an necessary loss of life and wasteful de struction of property. This theerv. while plausible, cannot be proved, since neither President .Kruger nor Lord Roberts will admit that there has been any secret intrigue or that the closing scenes or the war nave been prear ranged in any sense. The safer generalization is that the Boers have fought gallantly against tiie resources of a mighty empire and have been finally overwhelmed by superior numbers ana energy ana tnat Jord Kob erts has worked out an intricate prob lem in the dynamics of war.

The campaign may now be said to have ended west of the line drawn from Pre toria to Frleksburg. General Hunter's division Is reported to have entered Lieh tenburg. Lord Methuen will probably turn up at Potchefstroorn and Generals Baden Powell and Carrington will occupy Ze rust and Rustenburg. The occupation of Pretoria will probably dishearten the Free State forces and the Bethlehem, Harri smith and Vrode districts will be gradual ly overrun by General Bundle's forces. The remaining operations' of the war will be restricted to the Lydenburg district, to which the forces still holding Laings Nek must retreat through Brmelo. There are many signs that the strug gle will end in the course of a fortnight and the details of the surrender of Pre toria, communicated by Lord Roberts at midnight, support this view. From Lord Roberts report It appears that the Boers were driven back fairly into Pretoria in Monday's engagement, and that the sur render of the town was demanded. Gen eral Botha proposed an armistice for set ting tne terms or surrender, ana lrd Roberts replied that there could be no conditions. General Botha decided against any attempt to defend the town and the civil officials arranged for the entry of tne troops during tne atternoon. as nad been done at Johannesburg. The wives of President Kruger and General Botha remained in the town and no attempt was made to remove the British prisoners to Waterval. All the prisoners will be speed ily released and the stand made in the Lydenburg district Is not likely to be ser ious. 74TH ANNUAL MEETING. Of the Congregational Home Mission ary Society.

Ice Scandal in Gotham Involves Democrats and Republicans Alike. Chicago, June 6. A special to the Record from New Tork' says: Mayor Robert Van Wyck of Greater New Tork is on the verge of removal from office by Governor Theodore Roosevelt. The mayor's position is due to the fact that he has been shown to be the possessor of something over 30, 000 shares of ice-trust stock. In other words, he is one of the largest partners in a firm that is mulcting the city of New York under contract for thousands cf dollars each year for ice. This the charter of Greater New York expressly forbids and the evidence against the mayor is now before Governor Roosevelt and his legal adviser. Attorney General Davis. After a long conference at Al bany Governor Roosevelt announced that the state officials would make the most searching investigation of the case before action is taken, and when they are ready to act it will be in no uncer tain, manner. SUCCESSION IN A MUDDLE. Should Governor Roosevelt decide to remove Mayor Van Wyck the natural successor to the present chief executive of the city fould be Randolph Guggen heimer.president of the rminicipal coun cil. He may not be eli.Able, however, for the same reason that the mayor is unable to serve for he, too, has been charged with owning stock in the ice trust. Should it be proved that he, too, is financially interested in the corpora tion which is supplying the city with refrigerant, the control of the city will devolve on Alderman Oakes of Brook lyn, a saloonkeeper, and vice president or tne council. Not only is Mayor Van Wyck uneasy in his chair, but the barrier raised by lawyers between him and the inquisi tion -of the supreme court was broken down today by Justice Gaynor, and the frostbitten official will have to tell how- he got the stock and other Interesting details concerning the exposures, unless of course some other court intervenes and blocks for a time the opening of the mayor's ice trust secrets. OFFICIALS BESMIRCHED. It has been shown by the official list of stockholders of the ice trust that nearlv every official prominent In the control of the city is a holder of iee-trust stock. In fact, citizens of New York declare that this is the worst scandal that has ever overtaken the city officials since the Tweed regime. It has been shown conclu sively that the following own stock or did own it up to the time the exposures were made: Robert A. Van Wyck, mayor. Augustus Van Wyck. mayor's brother. Richard Croker. boss of Tammany hall. John F. Carroll, deputy boss of Tam many hall. The dock commissioners. Clerks of the dock commissioners. Chief engineer of the dock department. Supreme court judges. Republican judges. Democratic judges. The commissioner of lighting and sup plies. Former mayor of New York. The boss of Kings county's Democratic machine. Frank S. Black, former governor of New York. Frank Piatt, a son of Senator Piatt. Up-state politicians of influence, Repub lican ana uemocratic. Brooklyn's park commissioner. A former president of the board of edu cation. Arthur H. Sewall. Democratic candidate for vice president in ISOti. Various local "leaders" with influence. And others who are not leaders, but who hold high office in the city hall. Since the officials secured stock the price of ice in New York has been raised irom JO to bO cents a hundred 100 per cent and the small sales of 5-cent pieces to the poor stopped. Public opinion forced the company to sell small pieces to the poor in some of the poorer districts, but the general retailing of the small pieces has been greatly curtailed. GOMEZ'S PLAN. It is Received With Disfavor in All Quarters. Havana, June 6. All the political par ties through their representative news papers have pronounced against the plan of General Maximo Gomez to amalgamate the party organizations. Members of the cabinet say the scheme is not feasible, as such an election would not carry any official recognition from the United States. More than this, they assert that an amalgamation is unnec essary, as they have an assurance from the United States government, that a convention will be called as soon as possible after the elections, of all the elected mayors to form a constitution which will be presented for ratification to the next congress. Consequently, as they argue, if General Gomez were to carry out his plan of taking a plebes cite, it would make even the friends of Cuba believe it impossible for the Cu bans to do anything without nghtin; among themselves. La Nacion, organ of the Union Dem ocratic party, now that It Is an accept ed.faet that this party will be a minor ity in the coming election continues to call its successful opponents a "mere rabble" and to declare that they do not represent Cuba. It says that only 23, 000 voters have registered out of a pos sible 60,000, and that the better ele ments refrained from registering. To this the Nationalists reply by asking why, if the Union Democratic party had such a majority, its members did no! register. La Nacion publishes a veiled threat Legation in Pekin.

Used only by NATIONAL against the United States, saying in part: "Surface appearances are often very misleading, especially when one wishes to ascertain precisely the direction and force of undercurrents. The American papers are misled by the visible placid ity of the Cuban people and think that a general state of contentment exists over the island. -' "We who are more intimate with the masses,, can assure the American pa pers that there is much silent discon tent among the Cuban people. Much could have been done if the Cuban sec retaries had had clearer ideas regarding their duties. Cuba has not been a transformed paradise. We have no ser pents here; and, if we have a whole tribe of blood-sucking vampires, which threaten us with a loss of the life-supporting fluid, they at least can not lead us to spiritual predition." Americans here are astonished at this attack. Before the members of the Union Democratic party discovered that they were in the minority in Havana they claimed that they were America's best friends, representing the old au tonomist party, the wealth and intelli gence of the island. Beyond this they represented that they were conservative and did not desire radical changes. Now the columns of their organ abound in sarcastic allusions to everything American. SX a meeting of the municipality of Havana a member' of the council said he understood that Captain Pitcher, police magistrate and supervisor of po lice, had ordered the police caDtams to learn TCnglish. The mayor replied that Captain Pitcher had merely made a suggestion, but nad said nothing m the nature of an order. Several councilmen protested strong ly against such a suggestion. One of them asked why Cubans, the owners of the country, should learn a foreign language in order to speak with a for eigner. The mayor called the attention or the council to the fact that the Argentine training ship President Sarmiento was coming to Havana. He said he had mentioned the matter in view of the possibility that the municipality might wish to entertain the otneers anu crew. It was decided, as the Argentine Re public had not recognized the independ ence of Cuba, not to tender any recep tion whatever.
