Members of Porty seventh Regiment Auxiliary Deny Current Rumors. The regular meeting of the Women's Auxiliary Corps of the Forty seventh Regiment was held in the armory, Marcy avenue and Lynch street, yesterday afternoon. Owing to the illness of the president, Mrs. H. H.

Quick, and the vice president, Mrs. Dr. Van Siclen, the business transacted was of a formal char acter and an adjournment was taken until next week. Several members of the relief committee authorized an Eagle reporter to deny the statement that Mrs. Quick had in I tended to resign as a result of the recent trouble in the organization.

They admitted tnat tne President hd recently been somewhat worried by calls at her home from i'mpecuni I ous relatives of soldiers who seemed to be Heve that Mrs. Quick was able to do more for t.hera than she able Th same mebers admitted to the reporter that there had been a few attempts at imposition and as in the case of all other societies of the kind. some Instances of the overlapping of relief. Nearly all the members present, however, said that they had the fullest confidence in Mrs. Quick.

They believed that she would be at her post next week as usual and that she would carry out her expressed intention of keeping the organization Intact as long as lt proved useful. PILLSBURY'S OFF DAY. Twenty second Round of the International Chess Tournament at Vienna. Showalter Gaining Ground. (Special to the Eagle.) Vienna, July 2 Both Piilsbury and Tar rasoh, the leaders in the International Chess tournament, drew their games in the twenty first round yesterday, their opponents being respectively Lipke and Trenchard, both of whom they defeated in the first round.

In consequence the tie, brought about by Tar rasch's victory over Tschigorin. still exists. but will of necessity be broken to day, inas mucn as Pil.sbury will not nlay. this beinir his off day. Both Showalter and Stelnitz won their games in good style, but Baird met with another reverse.

Baird, however, was in a bad way and is practically sure to lose and thereby give the lead once more to Tarrasch.

Goes to the Front With Rank of Major, BEE WILL STAR3 AT ONCE. The Distinguished Brooklyn Surgeon Received His Commission Prom the President Two "Weeks Ago and Will Report to General Pitzhugh Lee for Duty Has Had Experience in the Pield "With the Turks and Greeks and Does Not Pear the Heat of the South A Sketch of His Career as a Surgeon. Dr.

George Ryerson Fowler ol Brooklyn, at the head of the medical staff in Seney Hospital and one of the surgeons of the country, has been appointed chief surgeon in the United States Volunteer Army, with the rank of Major, by President Mc DR. GEORGE R. FOWLER, Who Has Been Ordered' to Report for Duty at General Lee's Headquarters. Kinley, and yesterday was ordered upon the staff of General Fitzhugh Lee. His order read in this manner: Headquarters of the Army, Adjutant General's Office, "Washington, D.

June 29, 1898. Major George R. Fowler, Chief Surgeon, U. S. By direction of the Secretary of War, Major George R.

Fowler, chief surgeon, U. S. will proceed to Jacksonville, and report In person to Major General Fitzhugh Lee. U. S.

commanding Seventh Army Corps, for assignment to duty. By command of Major General Miles. H. C. CORBIN, Adjutant General.

"Yes," said Dr. Fowler, in response to questions, "I am ready to go. I will start either to day or Sunday for the front. It is not an unexpected call. I had put in my request for a commission some time ago.

It reached here with the signatures of the President and General Alger upon it about two weeks ago, since which time I have been awaiting orders to go to the front. "No, I can't say whether I am to proceed to Cuba at once or not. It may be that the demand for medical service will call for the sending of more surgeons to Cuba or it may be that it' is the intention to organize a medical staff for the Seventh Army Corps, which would require. some time. am ready to perform any service or to go anywhere the country needs my services." "Do I dread the heat of the South? Not particularly.

I was in the Orient uring the war between Greece and Turkey and with both sides during that war. But, although I was in concededly the hottest part of the Orient, I did not suffer any more from the heat there than I have right here some days during the summer time. "Who will take care of my work while I am gone? I have made arrangements to leave that to my son, Russell S. Fowler, and the arrangement is perfectly satisfactory to the hospital people and others concerned." Dr. Fowler was born in New York City December 25, 184S.

His parents were both representatives of old Long Island families. He graduated from Bellevue in 1871 and immediately began to practice. In 1872 he was connected with the staff of the Central Dispensary. In 1878 he was commissioned surgeon of the Fourteenth Regiment: He was one of the founders of the Brooklyn Anatomical and Surgical Society in 187S and in 1880 became its president. He assisted in editing the Annuals of the Anatomical and Surgical Society.

He became presiding oificer of the medical staff of the Bush wick and East Brooklyn Dispensary upon its organization. In 1883 he was made surgeon in chief of St. Mary's Hospital in the department of fractures and dislocations, anid since the opening of the Seney, or as it is officially known, the Methodist Episcopal Hospital, has been its surgeon. He was elected president of the Medical Society of the County of Kings in 1886. In 1891 he was elected a fellow of the American Surgical Association, and is a member at the American Medical Association.

He is also a member of the New York Surgical Society, a member of the Brooklyn Surgical Society, a member of the Society of Medical Jurisprudence and a member of the Medical Society of the State of New York. In 1890 he was appointed by the Board of Regents one of the examining board of physicians for the state and takes charge of the examinations in surgery. He started the society ror the promulga tion of the knowledge of how to take care of injured persons in an emergency, known as the first aid to the injured, and at his suggestion General McLeer Issued the order directing instruction to be part of a soldier's duties, and this was adopted by all National Guards and by the Regular Army throughout the country. In 1890 he was elected president of the Brooklyn Red Cross Society then organized. His contributions to medical literature have been varied and widely read.

It will therefore be seen that he is a most valuable man for the government to secure. One of his friends, in speaking of his acceptance of the position, said: "There is In this offer of Dr. Fowler evidence of enthusiasm for his' profession, a willingness to be self sacrificing and a desire to benefit his fellow man. There has been a widespread opinion that surgeons love to conduct operations for the pleasure of cutting. Dr.

Fowler believes in saving, and I believe he goes into this work with the hope that he may save to men the limbs less expert surgeons would not be able to save. He is certainly the most expert man in his profession in the country, possessing accurate anatomical knowledge and a steadiness of nerve wonderful to behold." POSITIONS OFTHEWARSHIPS.

J. Fzwemooc. But Little Friction in Business Circles To day. MORE REVENUE STAMPS NEEDED. As Soon as They Have Been "Well Distributed the Enforcement of the 'Numerous Features of the Law "Will Pass Off Smoothly Attempts of Speculators to Corner the Stamps Frustrated by Government Officials.

Eight Between Merchants and Express Companies Still On Rush at the Federal Building. The confusion which prevailed yesterday morning when the new war tax law first went into force is now practically a thing of the past and patriotic Americans have already become accustomed to the changed conditions. The little friction that did.exist in business circles yesterday was due more to the lack of proper stamps than anything else and as soon as the stamps of all denominations have been well distributed the enforcment the different feaitures of the law will pass off smoothly. The people apparently already understand the requirements of the law and they are ready and willing to comply with the acit. The great demand for stamps was not expected by the Washington officials, for it was estimated that at least stamps would supply the whole country for a period of three months.

Over 175,000,000 stamps have already been distributed and there is apparently no let up in the demand. This has led the officials to reason that speculators have undertaken to make a corner in the internal revenue stamps. The speculators it is claimed have made strenuous efforts In several cities to buy up all the stamps in sight. Their object, it is thought, was to increase their profits by selling stamps at a premium. One per cent, discount is allowed by the government on all stamps purchased in quantities of 100 or more, so those who cared to enter the work of buying and selling these stamps really had nothing to lose and there was a chance that they would make 1 per cent, on their investment.

The department does not object if the retail dealers make a fair profit on the stamps, but it does not intend to allow any set speculators to corner the stamp market. The a t'tempt of the speculators to corner the stamp market was one ol the chief reasons why Commissioner Scott decided that business men might keep a careful account of the taxable merchandise sold, submi't a sworn statement to the Revenue Department and pay the necessary tax in a lump sum. The Eagle yesterday referred to the different sections of the war revenue law and enumerated many of the taxable articles. The business of the Brooklyn and Manhattan banks and trust companies has not been seriously interrupted by the new law. Nearly all the banks have secured a supply of stamps and in cases where the ban'k's customers neglect to affix the proper stamps to checks and drafts they are attached by the bank officials and the face value charged to the customer's accounts.

The war tax is being collected at the Brooklyn telegrapti offices without very much trouble, and all wno send dispatenes, seem to understand that a 1 cent revenue stamp must be affixed to the message before it will be received by the telegraph companies. The war tax in Brooklyn on telegrams alone amounts to a considerable in a single day. The dispute between the merchants and the express companies as to who must pay the tax on express matter, is still on, and it is not likely that an amicable settlement will reaohed outside of the courts. It is understood that fhe Merchants' Association of New York City intends to test the law at once. That Brooklyn business men are not yet all supplied with war itax stamps was evidenced by the crowd in the federal building again to day.

There were long lines of men and women in front of the different windows and at noon between 400 and 500 persons were anxiously waiting for an opportunity to buy stamps. Nearly all the tobacco dealers anticipating the increased tax laid in a stock in advance and they have not as yet begun to feel the full effects of the law. As a result there has been no noticeable change in the weight or price of tobacco as yet. HENRY GEORGE'S MONUMENT. The Stone Work Completed and Everything in Readiness for the Un vailing To morrow.

The stone work of the memorial to the late Henry George was completed yesterday afternoon at Charles W. Tandy's monumental and granite works, corner of Fifth avenue and Twenty fifth street, Brooklyn, and with the bronze bust, done by Richard F. George, a son of the leader, was started for Greenwood Cemetery, where it will be unvailed to morrow afternoon at 3 o'clock. The monument reflects much credit upon the skill of both Mr. George and Mr.

Tandy, and will be a fitting memorial to the man whose life work attracted so much attention. All of the stone work of the monument is of the finest grade of Quincy granite. The bust stands upon a pedestal against a huge slab of granite, appropriately plain in its fashioning. This pedestal is 7 feet 2 inches high by 6 feet broad. It is finished in the rough at the edges.

Inside the border is a highly polished surface, inclosed toy a narrow bronze molding, and here are placed on either side bronze wreaths beariug the inscriptions, "Sept. 2, 1S29," and "Oct. 29, 1S97." Against this surface stands the bust. On 'the reverse side of the slab is a bronze plate, bearing these words: "The truth I have lived to make clear will not find easy acceptance. If that could be it would have been accepted long ago.

IE that could be it would have been observed. But it will find friends those who will 'toil for it; suffer for it; if need be, die for it. This is the power of the truth." "Progress and Poverty." Underneath 'this is another inscription which reads: "Erected by voluntary contributions of citizens of Greater New York, through the New York Evening World." Mr. George's reproduction of his father's physiogonomy is considered remarkably accurate and lifelike, the contour of the cranium having been preserved with marked faithfulness. It was first modeled In clay, the sculptor doing the work at moments when he could get his father to sit for the necessary measurements and study.

The exercises incident tb the unveiling ot the monument will consist of addresses by Dr. Edward McGIynn and John S. Crosby, and many of the labor organizations will be present at the ceremonies. The grave is on Ocean Hill, near the Ninth avenue and Twentieth street entrance to the cemetery. CXTNNING.

The Westerners Showed Remarkable Speed for One Mile Quakers in Eront hy Three and a Half Lengths, Covering the Three Miles in 15:51 1 2, East Time Ithacans in Trouble at the Einish Complications Likely to Arise as a Result of the Defeat of Cornell The Latter's Crew Wins the Ereshmen Race. Saratoga, N. July 2 Pennsylvania, pulling the only paper shell used, won the 'varsity race this morning by three and a half lengths over the three mile course in the remarkably good time of 15:51. Cornell got into second place after a lively sprint with Wisconsin and beat the "Westerners nearly a length. Columbia paddled across the line four and a half lengths behind Wisconsin.

The contest developed two surprises, namely Penmsy's victory over Cornell and Wisconsin's heading of the others all through the first mije and her remarkably good work from the standpoint after disadvantages which her men suffered In a long journey so near the time for the race, in making a noble struggle for an honorable place against so worthy an adversary. Columbia's place in the 'varsity had been so uncertain in the early speculations that her finish was a disappointment rather than a surprise. The mixup consequent upon Cornell's defeat at the hands of Pennsylvania after vanquishing Yale and Harvard causes a mixup in college rowing that may bring about a new combination next year. As the case stands at present, Pennsy may lay claim to superiority. Still, the fact that to day's race was at three miles, while that at New London was at four miles will probably give rise to dispute.

The race was rowed in almost glassy water, but the 'varsity crews tiad a rapidly increasing sou wind at their backs, which accounts in part for the fast time made by ttie Pennsy men. The freshmen finKbed in fairly good shape. Pennsy gave out perceptibly at the last in their fight with Columbia. The Cornell boys showed their condition by rowing back to their quarters, a distance of four miles. The Wisconsin boys had to row two miles to the starting point for the lack of a launch.

At the finish of the 'varsity two men in the Cornell boat required a dash of water to enable them to keep their seats. The Pennsylvania and Wisconsin crews finished strong and the Colum'bia eight evinced considerable weakness. Cornell Wins the Freshmen Race, With Columbia (Second. Five minutes before the starting time of the freshman race the lake was perfectly calm. Slight puffs of wind occasionally ruffled the surface, but the breeze was faint and fitful.

The' water was a little rough at the starting line, but it was considerably smoother near the finish, a few rowboats and about one hundred spectators were grouped. The three shells were promptly on time and at 9:15 they were, sent away. Cornell took the lead, rowing a steady 32 stroke. At the mile Cornell was flrst by a narrow margin, with Columbia second. In the next half mile Columbia fell rapidly astern, length by length, and the Quakers forged ahead into second position.

When the mile and a half flag wasyreached Cornell's lead amounted to half a boat length. Pennsy was holding its place, but Columbia was three lengths behind the Quaker shell and apparently out of the race. Then the unexpected happened. Coming into the last half mile the Columbia crew made a fine spurt and at the same time the life seemed to dhj out of the Quakers Slowly the New Yorkers crept up, while the crowd on the grand stand yelled itself hoarse. The Columbia shell just poked Us nose ahead of the Quaker boat as it sped through the last ten yards and across the line.

In the latter part of the race Cornell was never within reach of the others. Courtney's youngsters steadily increased their lead, although they rowed the same measured stroke and won by two and a half lengths from Columbia. Cornell's time for the two miles was 30:51 3 Columbia, 11:12. and Pennsyh ania. 11:13.

The time at the mile was: Cornell. Colum'bia and Pennsylvania, neck and neck, 5:33. ART CONGRESS AT BRUSSELS. Washington. D.

NO NEWS OF LIEUT. LANGDON. He Was With General Lawton Yesterday and His Friends Are Anxious to Hear of His Safety.

Many inquiries having been made as to the welfare of Lieutenant Russell C. Langdon, son of Colonel Loomis L. Langdon, formerly commandant of the First Artillery, who is at tho front, an Eagle reporter called upon Colonel Langdon this morning, for the purpose of ascertaining whether he had received any news from Cuba. In response to a question on the subject. Colonel Langdon said: "Xo.

we have not heard from my son since he left Tampa; no mail has como through. He is with the Eighth New Y'ork Infantry. Colonel J. J. Van Horne commanding, which was the first regiment to land on Cuban soil.

Yesterday, under Gonoral Lawton, he took pare in the advance and you may Imagine our anxiety when we read on tho bulletin boards reports of a thousand having been killed and wounded." In speaking of his son, Colonel Langdon express a desire to serve with him, and in response to questions, he stated that ho had twico tendered his services to the government, once in March last, after reading Senator "Proctor's speech, when the department in thanking him, expressed the hopo that there would be no war, and again after hostilities had actually broken out, when he was informed that the law did not permit the employment of retired Army officers, although retired Navy officers might bo employed. Many Brooklynites will share to a partial extent the anxiety of Colonel Langdon for the welfare of his son. Lieutenant Langdon only graduated from West Point two years ago, since which time he has done duty at Fort D. H. Ruesell, Wyoming, and has been for a time in command of the Rock Spring mining camp.

HOW SHE LOOKED AT IT. Mr. Short My dear. Miss Kate, I have a very serious question I wish to ask you. Miss Long What is it, pray? Will kfuv.

Weather Porecaster Dunn Announces I That Although a Cool Wave Has Started to Move This Way Prom Nebraska and Colorado It Is Coming1 ati i 1 All Too Slowly and New Yorkers May Expect to Swelter for Some Time Longer Yesterday Was the Hottest July 1 That Was Ever Registered. From the top of the Manhattan Building, a matter ot twenty stories above the red hot sidewalks of Broadway, Local Forecaster Dunn sends to thp sweltering masses of Greater New York the cheering intelligence that they are likely to continue to swelter for two days more at least. In other words, the fierce heat of yesterday and to day is not likely to be moderated until Monday at the earliest and one cannot count on the arrival at that time of an unexpected cool wave, which Is just now moving slowly in this direction from Nebraska and Colorado.

True, the heat is a little less severe to day than it was yesterday, but the difference is due more to the lower degree of humidity than to the less number of heat units which one must, of necessity, absorb. Mr. Dunn's very conservative thermometers showed exactly the same temperature this morning at o'clock they showed yesterday at tne same nour iB degrees. But the humidity was 68 per cent, yesterday at 8 o'clock and 53 to day. Comparison of the temperature of yesterday and to day shows differences as follows: Friday.

Saturday. 8i) 79 81 9 o'clock 10 o'clock The highest temperature yesterday was registered between 3:30 o'clock and 4 o'clock in the afternoon when Mr. Dunn's mercury reached 94 degrees. But because of the radiation of the heat from the sidewalks and the walls of the building it is at least 10 degrees warmer on the streets, even in the shade, and in the sun the temperature is augmented anywhere from 15 to 20 degrees hotter than that shown by the forecaster's instruments. The perspiring millions will also be interested to know that no higher temperature for the same day of the month has ever been registered than was that of yesterday, July 1 of 1872 and 1876 having seen the thermometer at just the same point that was reached yesterday 94 degrees.

The hottest day on record came in July, 1S76, when the mercury reached 99. Forecaster Dunn discourages any hope of thunder storms to day or 'to inighx because of the humidity which has decreased enough since yesterday to make precipitation unlike ly. And he also says it is likely to be a 'tie warmer to night than it was iast night. The hot wave continues throughout the country east of Kansas and Minnesota, the general temperature during the past twenty four hours having been nearly stationary except in the lake regions, where it has risen from two to twenty degrees. In Nebraska and Colorado weather is from four to fourteen degrees cooler, but we are told not to hope for the arrival ot this relief before Tuesday morning.

The tem peratures in various cities this morning were i reported to be as follows: Boston, 72; Al bany, 74; Buffalo, 78; Pittsburg and Wash ington, 82; Chicago, 80; St. Paul 71.I 14 Denver, 56; San Francisco, 56; New Orleans, 78; Chattanooga, 80; Jacksonville, 82; 78; Key West, 81. This latter temperature is the highest reported and the lowest is 44 degrees at Lander, Wy. In this city there ia a little less wind to day thau yesterday. A matter whicSi is of great to everybody just now is how the lieat which I we are indunng these days compares wirh that whicn is being borne by our trocps in Cuba.

Forecaster Dunn, asked to elucidate this point, said: "The annual range of temperature in Citfwv so far' as the records sIktw, is from 50 to 100 degrees. The highest temperature on record ie 100.C degrees. Hie average summer heat is not much over SO degrees, but t'ne humidity is generally greater tnan we experience, ami therefore, the rJtut is more trying. Thunder storms are much more frequent, bult so far as persons not acclimated are concerned, these are apt to produce unpleasant sulas, because of the very sudden fall In the temperature which Uiey produce. One of the dispatches other day from the scene of our men's operations told of a rhitn.ipr w'nm'h rpnirn in mnv our soldiers having regular (bills.

It Is easy to explain this, for not only is the drop in temperature often considerable, hut the men, it seems, as scon as che rain began to fall, stripped off tlieir clothing and thus subjected Ae.mseives to an added sheck. The following deaths from the heat in Manhattan were reported this morning: Margaret Healy, 2 months old, 325 West Forciet! street; Teresa Gould, 2 monSs, 55i! Wert Forty tifth street; Kocco Sand, 3u, ui laborer. Manhattan epltal; Michael Lynch, 28, conductor, of 40!)

Patrick Leonard, 21 years old, of Eighty first street and Eleventh avenue, a workman in the employ of the Kings County Gas Company, was overcome by the heat while walking on Eighty third street at Fifth avenue at 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon. An ambti lanec was summoned from the Norwegian Hospital and the man was taken rtiere.

He was unconscious until 10 o'clock last evening, but rbls morning wass slightly better. ANTE ELECTION PROMISES. One Which McKinley Granted With Pleasure. After they had discussed the conduct of the war, the now revenue bill and the political outlook the man from Ohio, who stood looking through the hotel window in order to set his watch by Detroit time as shown from the city hall clock, sprang a surprise. "I've nothing against Mc Kinley," he said, "We liuckcyes are proud of him, but when anybody tells you that he made no ante election promises go right back at him and bet him to a standstill, for I know better." pshaw!" put In the man from Michigan.

The Umatilla from Puget Sound and British Columbia also reached quarantine and the City of Panama is expected from Central America within a few hours.

It is understood that these three vessels will be taken by the government for transport purposes. The City of Puebla and the Peru are rapidly being fitted up and the departure of tha fourth fleet to Manila is expected to be set for July 10. Tho idea of sending each ship off as it Is ready without awaiting for a fleet has not boon favorably considered and the next expeditions will be to those which have proceeded it, although the term "fleet" is variable and may include anything from three to fifteen vessels. Major General E. S.

Otis has announced no definite plans in regard to his own departure. According to present indications ho will not go until the iinal fleet sails through the Golden Gate. One hundred and four rcoruits for Batteries A and of the Utah Artillery have arrived at Camp Merrill. They are in charge ot Lieutenant Wedgewood and are not equipped. The men were received at the ferry by tho women of the Red Cross Society and given breakfast.

They then marched to camp and waited in the hot sun for some one to furnish them with tents. The Alger Light Artillery Battery will probably move over to the Presidio to day to join the forces at Camp Miller. Troops for 3iext Expedition Not Yet Designated. Major General Otis has not yet designated the troops who are to go on the next expedition to Manila. It is known.

bowever, hat Major General Merritt is especially anxiouS that the First New York Volunteers should be dispatched speedily and they will probably have a place in the next Troops Fight Grass Fires. The troops at the Presidio and Lime Point were called oil': last evening to fight grass fires. Tho flames at Lime Point approached dangerously near the 'tents and magazines of Fort Baker. About eight hundred acres were burned over, but no serious damage wa dono. Sailing Vessels to Carry Stores to Manila.

The difficulty experienced in obtaining steamers Tor transput service has caused tha government to seek for sailing vessels which may be available. Several have been examined and ft is understood that the ship Ta coma will be chartered to carry stores auI military supplies to Manila. Colonel Smith of the First Tennessee Volunteers has asked Major General Otis for a Hoard of Supervisors to pass' on the uniforms issued to his regiment. Tho Colonel asserts that the garments were made in Chinatown and are worthless. After ten days wear they are in worse condition than the old uniforms worn by tite troops on their arrival here.

Colonel Merriam has ordered General F. W. Hess of 'the Third United States Artillery to proceed to Fort Can by. where he will be permanently stationed. HERESY TRIALS.

A Representative Religious Paper Says Their Day Is Past. What we wish to point out is Hint the day Of trials for heresy is about past. It is recognized as an antiquated, ineffective and harmful way nf dealing with heresy. The Presbyterian churches ot Scollnnd tried it ten or fifteen years ago in the case of Professor Robertson Smith and others, and lis results, at Ibis distance of time, must, appear us anything hut. satisfactory.

It. was found to be a long, tedious, harrassing proceduru that kept the church agitated, that, brought forward apologists for the heresy. Hint led to ils ac ceptance by others and that, kept the church embroiled for years, with no one result that could be pointed to as vindicative or helpful. It was tried by the Presbyterian Church in this country in the case of Professor Briggs and of Professor Smyth, and Presbyierians are so thoroughly convinced that such trials work a vast amount of harm and no good that, tin are determined to avoid them as far as possible. It.

was tried in the matter of Andovcr Theological Seminary, and everybody knows the fruitless issue. Those who believe that, heresy trials are necessary believe that they arc necessary evils, never to be resorted in if ttie heresy can he suppressed or rendered harmless by some other method, and only to be entered upon where the cntirctx is challenged anil put, so to speak, upon its defense. It. is quite doubtful whether tills century will see another important, trial for heresy In any I'rot. tanl.

Church, we are quite sure th.it when the twentieth eenlury 'lawns it will have ushered in and forever established a new policy averse to the arraignment of men as criminals 0:1 charges of unbelief. How. then, arc heretics to lie dealt with?
