Wenonnh will have, for the first time In Its history as a growing and healthy little town, a suitable plsce in which to properly hold a big out-of-door celebration.

POSTPONEMENT FOR KENNEY It Is Expected Thnt Such Will be Agreeable to Both Sides. Special Telegram to THE Times. AVMmlngton.

June 20. Counsel for Cnlted States Senator Klchard It. Kenney applied to Judge Edward G. Bradford In the Cnlted States District Court to-day for a postponement of the trlnl, which was docketed to begin 011 Tuesday next. District Attorney Lewis C.

Vandegrlft strenuously opposed a' postponement of the trlnl, remarking that the counsel bad put him under stress by having the argument of the Kenney demurrer fixed for Monday, allowing him only from Saturday to Monday to prepare to meet It. To postpone It until October would, he held, seriously embarrass the government. Judge Bradford intimated thnt If a proper application was made some postponement would be grnutcd, hut if such were the case it could scarcely be granted longer than until September. Litter, under the Instruction of Senator Kenney, his counsel withdrew the application Informally and will formally withdraw It to-morrow. It Is expected that postponement for a few days, agreeable to both sides, will then be granted.

IMMIGRANTS RELEASED Commissioner Powdcrly Orders the Release of Two Men Held nt Sew York. Washington, June 2ft. Commlsnloner General Powderly, of the Immigration Bureau, has ordered released the two men held In custody nt the New York Barge Office on complaint that they were alien contract laborers. The men were Imported from Germany by the Fort Wayne Knitting Company, manufacturers of full-fashioned hosiery, skilled workmen, it being impossible to obtain competent workmen lu this country. The evidence secured by the Immigration Bureau, which Is corrobomted by the ltosl body of the Knights of Labor, tends to show that this particular Industry Is not fullv es tnbllshed In this country, nnd therefore the company Is exonerated from all blame.

It Ik said thnt other workmen of this class will be brought over.

Special Telegram to The Timer. Washington, June 29. The military foresight of President Mc-Kluley haij been sustained by reports from General Shnfter. The appreheuslon of the President for the safety of Shafter's command and for the success of the first expedition were well grounded.

General Shafter today reported that General Pando, with 10,000 men, is marching to Santiago from Hulguin, while 12,000 Spanish troops nre coming from Mnnzniilllo. General Linares, iu Santiago Is to be reinforced by 22,000 men, swelling his total strength to .16,000 men. President McKlnley from the first Insisted that not less than 30,000 men should he sent to Santiago. Existing conditions confirm his sagacity. General Shnfter has 18000 men, only half the number of the Spanish army which Is being concentrated In the defense of Santiago.

Military men nnd even laymen will nt once grnsp the and see the disadvantages at which our army of Invasion Is placed. May be Fighting Sow. General Shafter has requested permission to proceed without awaiting reinforcements, and permission has been given. The entire conduct of the campaign Is now left to him, while reinforcements are being hurried forward. It Is presumed that Shafter its even now attacking Santiago, with the hope of reducing the place before the Spanish reinforcements can enter the city.

The report of Shnfter that all the artillery has been landed is presumed to niesn all the light artillery. It is not supposed that he has been able to land his siege guns without a lighter. Rut If his siege guns nre landed and placed In pension, he may be uble to take Santiago without reinforcements. The Spanish reinforcements are very near Snutlago now and may form a Junction with General Linares to-night or to-morrow. Therefore, it Is expected thnt Shafter will begin bis attack without delay.

The difficulties before him nre tremendous. The dangers that beset him are innumerable. The battle must begin with artillery Are sud the enemy must be driven from the outworks. In order that the engineers may destroy nnd drng nwny the barbed wire fences which wurrouud the defenses of Snutingo. The nrmy Is perfectly helpless before snch an obstruction.

No body of men could charge through bnrbed wire fences. No soldiers could charge over such a fence even when leveled to the ground. The shells of the siege guns must do the preliminary work, and the engineer corps drng the barbed wire from the long lines about the city. This will tnke time, and now the Spanish reinforcements may arrive. The situation Is serious.

Shafter Will Avoid Skirmishes. At army headquarters this afternoon It was stated that 8,000 men nre leaving Tampa to-night for Santiago. They are of the Fourth Army Corps. They cannot reach Shnfter before Sunday or Monday next. Other troops are being hurried forward from Cump Alger and Camp Thomas.

The need of transports Is imperative and the Quartermaster General Is making strenuous efforts to handle the tnwps for this emergency. General Shnfter has ordered the advance column, under General Wheeler, to avoid skirmishes. If possible. He desires to hold his army lu readiness for striking a decisive blow. It 1 expected that Information will be officially received to-night of a forward movement by the entire army.

The officers at headquarters here believe that If the siege guns have been landed there mnst have been fighting In progress to-day. Winner has cabled General Miles that he can take Santiago In forty-eight hours. That appears to be his Intention, since he was given permission to proceed without (waiting the arrival of reinforcements. No doubt Is expressed as to the ability of Shafter to hold his position until the reinforcements reach him, even with the largely Increased Spanish army on the aggressive. The President, however, has desired thnt there should he preparations made which would avert any likelihood of defeat or delay In this work.

Inasmuch as Shaffer's army may suffer repulse, because of his Inadequate force, the President and the people are liable to disappointment with the preliminary operations. But the ultimate result will be unquestionably satisfactory. The War Department will continue to hurry forward other troops, and within two weeks Shafter can have an army of 50,000 men. Germany May Hear From Vb. One of the officials of the Department of State this evening discussed the Manila situation In private conversation, saying: "The administration fully appreciates the attl tmie of Germany, and.

In due time, the gov ernment of Berlin will hear from the govern nient at Washington In no uncertain man ner. Germany has assembled a fleet nt Ma nlla which Is tronger than the fleet nnder the command of Admiral Dewey. This has not been done ns nil act of friendship to this country. It will not be so regarded by the civilized world. It will certainly not re-reive encomiums In London.

President Me Kluley fully realizes the menace which la made. Germany is now Interfering In our affairs. It might be well for Prince Henry to remember the fate of Maximilian. We will soon have Spain off our hands. I have offlclnl renson for suggesting to you that President McKlnley preparing to protest against this Interference.

Walt nntll we hear satisfactorily from This matter was brought to the attention of one of the higher otllclsls of the.N'avy Department, who said: "That Is all right. The Department of State Is lb dug excellent diplomatic work. Ko Is the Navy Department. When our two monitors are In Manila Bay Admiral Dewey will know what to do. He has official information of the policy to be pursued and he will perform his duty without hesltatlou or delay." While we look with longing eyes for news from Santiago, we may well anticipate news from Manila that will again startle the world.

There Is reason to believe that Ad-tnlrnl Dewey may have an opportunity to break his own record. Smith D. Frt. Appointed Cadet to West Point. Special Telegram to THE TIMES.

N. Austin, The truth of the adage that the greatest victories often arise from apparent defeat was most forcibly Illustrated in the Carnival yesterday. The storm of the day liefore had sj complete'i demolished everything that perfect restoration seemed utterly out of the question. But no one who looked nt the complete arrangements yesterday and last evening would see the slightest Indication of the utter nilri that prevailed only twenty-four hours before. It only goes to show, however, the resources of the Lengue ladles when their cause is a good one.

The programme In the afternoon was short, hut very Interesting. The band of the Northern Home furnished excellent music, but, owing to the sailors who pnrtlclpat In the pageant being on short leave of absence, the parade was obliged to be given a little earlier than was advertised. There were quite a large company of sailors In uniform In the parade, besides the various military organizations. A large number of fancy costumes gave variety and color, while the "sailor lassies," and the Indies of the Manila tea garden added to Its completeness. War Relics an Attraction.

The Twenty-fourth ward claims to be making the most money, and perhaps It Is. for It has so many attractions. The war relics keep a constant crowd, and a military I guard Is on hand to prevent undue handling of the sacred objects. The biogmpb, which I is giving continuous performances In the chapel, was crowded last evening, so that they were several times obliged to stop the sale of tickets. The ladles of the- Twenty-seventh ward Fancy Department have sold so much thnt their room already begins to look bare in comparison with the collection of beautiful things with which they opened.

They gave a series of tableaux last night In Carnival Hall, following them with a chnrming little play entitled "A Happy Pair," which was very well rendered. To-nlnht thev will give a concert of unusual merit. It will be given in the parlors of the Commander's home, and is well worth twice the admission price. Among the talent which will participate are Madame Louise Miss Adelnlde Lane. I Signer Giannlnl, Senor Aeuna, Charles Graf and Mr.

Leech. They also have a very elaborate refreshment department, where Messrs. I Winner and Douglass are energetically as- Hinting the Indies to dispense the most delicious coffee, Ice cream and home-made cake. To-Day Is Army Day. To-day Is army day.

which will be the greatest day of the carnival. It Is under the direction of the G. A. It. men.

There will be good music, short, interesting addresses by several prominent men, two military parades, the one In the evening being Illuminated by torches. A ciimpflre, where old soldiers will tell their deeds of valor, will be a special attraction In the evening. The officials who took the tickets at the gates tout night say that between eight and ton thousand people were admitted. It Is hoped that to-day will bring twice that mini-ber. The Traction Company detailed a number of cars last evening to pass just to the grounds and return.

It Is thought more will be vut on for that purpose to-day. SISTERS CONTEST THE WILL Caveat Filed Against the Instrument Probated by Charles B. Trultt, Jr. Special Telegram to The Times. Snow Hill, June Charles R.

Coppln. MERRITT SAILS FOR MANILA Military Governor of the Philippines Starts for His Post on the Newport. Hopes to Make a Speedy Trip and May Beat the Transports of the Third Expedition. San Francisco, June 2i. The speedy steamer Newport, bearing Major General Wesley Morritt, Military Governor of the Philippines and his staff, besides the Astor Light Battery and Companies II and K.

of the Third United Stub Artillery, and detachments from Signal Corps, Is now on Its way to Manila. As the vessel gradually drew away from her dock to-day the blowing of many whistles tu'd the people that General Merritt had taken his departure. Great crowds had gathered to witness the departure of the vessel and many fashionable equipages on the dock told of the presence of the representatives of the Four Hundred who bad come to bid farewell to friends among the members of the Astor Battery. May Overtake Transports. Many tugboats and yachts chartered for the occasion accompanied the Newport down the hay and out through the Golden Gate to th- Pacific, where the last farewells were waved to the departing military men gathered on the deck of the steamer.

The Newport will make an effort to overtake the third fleet of transports, which sailed on Monday, after the fleet reaches Honolulu, where the vessels will coal nnd take on fresh supplies before proceeding to Manila. General Merritt in very anxious to avoid an encounter with any vessel of the Spanish navy and will Issue orders to the fleet at Honolulu to make all possible speed. It is probable that the Newport will not wait for i the other vessels of the fleet at Honolulu, but will proceed with as little delay as possible to Manila. No Fuss Over Installation. Major General Merritt expects to reach Manila by July 2o, or August 1 at the very latest.

Before his arrival. General Greene will have consulted with Admiral Dewey as to the advisability qf making a Joint attack on Manila.

With the end of the present school session the Philadelphia Normal School for Girls loses the servient of the one who is responsible for its organization mid to whom is due a large proportion of the credit for the tmccess It lias achieved. For George Howard Cliff, the universally popular principal of the Institution, yesterday tendered his resignation to the Board of Education, to take effect June 30. Yesterday was class day at the Normal School, but while nearly every portion of the handsome building was crowded with light-hearted girls, laughing and chattering in the joy that is part of such an occasion, downstairs In the principal's room a far different scene was being enacted.

The committee on the Normal School of the Board of Education was there in session, and the chairman. Simon Grntz, had just read a letter from Principal Cliff tendering his resignation on the ground of impaired health. The tone of the letter left the committee no alternative but to accept the resignation and this was accordingly done, albeit with expressions of the deepest regret. A special committee, consisting of Simon Gratz, Hu-dolph S. Walton and Tr.

M. J. Wilson, was then appointed to take the necessary steps toward the selection of a successor to the I retiring principal. While yet in his teens Mr. Cliff entered the pedngoglcal profession, taking charge of a grammar school at Walliiigford, and i early in 1NS1 was elected principal of the Camno Grammar School, being at that time only 22 years old.

During the next thirteen years Mr. Cliff occupied ninny prominent positions In the educational Institutions of Philadelphia, and In 1804 was unanimously elected principal of the Normal School, which wn5 opened in November of that year. The plan of Its organization was largely due to his knowledge of educational methods, and Its great success Is conceded to be the natural outcome of strict adherence to the lines upon which he laid out Its work. Being in somewhat delicate health he has latterly found the duties of hid office decidedly harassing, and has, therefore, chosen this opportunity, when the school Is in a flourishing condition, to withdraw from the work. lie will take an executive position with George B.

Newton the big coal operators and dealers. Devoted to His Profession. Professor Cliff was In love with his work. The Normal School was the controlling objects of bis thoughts, ambitions mid energies. He strove In whatever way presented Itself to advance Its Interests, and any suggestion, movement or project which promised to exert a healthful influence upon the school received bis consideration, and, if approved, his efforts.

Hi? not only suei'essfully guided the adminitratlve affairs of the school, but he exercised a close oversight, based upon an Intelligent comprehension of the conduct of the work of the various departments. His relations with the teachers comprising his faculty were particularly pleasant; He advised with then! upon their work, consulted their wishes in the management of the school and ftudleri their comfort with kindly perception and unfailing courtesy which helped not little to lighten the always exacting and often discouraging duties of teaching in a big school. He tried to study the students, not as a collective body, but as Individuals; and after they had pawed beyond the portals of the Normal School Into school rooms of their own this warm personal interest followed them. More than one deserving girl who could not secure position as a teacher was helped by Mr. Cliff to other suitable employment.

Mr. Cliff's Influence, while concentrated upon the Normal School, was not limited by the four walta of the oflice in which be sat dally. He took an active part in many departments of educatlonnl work In Philadelphia and a decided part of the credit at the revival of Interest In public school education of recent years is due to Mr. Cliff. Perhaps one of the best tribute that can be paid to Mr.

Cliff's devotion to his profession Is that he never shirked the remorseless g'lnd of educational duties. He often willingly took upon his shoulders a larger burden than they Justly should linve carried. Personally Mr. Cliff Is genial, accommodating, sympathetic, full of the milk of human kindness. As principal of the Normal School he always bad a welcoming mlle and a kind wort for strangers, and to those accustomed to visit frequently the school, the old place will not look quite the same now that Mr.

Cliff is no longer there. The Horrors of the Klondike Passes. Special Telegram to The Times. Sharon, June 21. A lettor to friends from James Muldoon, nt Kinsman, near Sharon, who left for Alaska In the winter, tells a story of terrible suffering.
