Chadwick, when he lands in New York, on the charge of forging the name of Andrew Carnegie, met a check in his plans today when he failed to obtain from Governor Odell the requisition papers necessary to permit the transportation of Dr. Chadwick to Ohio for trial. He , called at the executive chamber In the capltol this morning, but was informed by Judge John T. Joyce, the governor’s pardon and requisition clerk, that his papers were defective in that they failed to prove that Dr. Chadwick was in the state of Ohio on March 6, 1903, when the alleged forgery was com mitted. Previous to the call of the sheriff Governor Odell had authorized Mr. Joyce to deliver the warrant for Dr. Chadwick’s extradition If the appli cant’s papers were properly drafted. When the sheriff learned that h proof was defective there was at first some talk of his returning in person to Ohio for the purpose of getting the corrections. After further consulta tion with Judge Joyce he concluded I to telegraph to have the necessary af fidavits prepared and sent to him in New York. He said that this was purely formal matter, und thut affi davits could he promptly obtained showing that Dr. Chadwick was In Ohio on or about March 5. 1903. The phlo sheriff left Immediately afterward for New York, where he will wait for Dr, Chadwick’s steamer, which Is expected Wednesday, will consult New York city authorities regarding the best course of pro codure. Before leaving Sheriff Barry paid that while he wns disappointed at not obtaining the requisition war rant at this.time the failure would not. delay him to any appreciable extent.

Prosecutor Keeler declared that all the information, ns to the date. etc. bad been embodied In the indictment by the grand Jury, a copy of which bad been attached to the requisition papers. “This affidavit that sending to New York today," said the prosecutor, “Is simply a duplication of what Is contained in the Indictment, 1 can see no use In repenting It. but ' shall not quibble over technicalities. This affidavit will probably reach the New York executive, through Sheriff Barry, by Wednesday morning.’* Mr. Keeler expressed the belief that the extradition warrant would be eventually grafted by the New York authorities. Governor Herrick on reading the Albany dispatch said: •*I am very much surprised at the action of the New York authorities the matter. The requisition was issued only after ft most complete Investga tlon of the affidavits submitted by the officials of Cuahoga county.

I regret to say that Gen, Corbin's report of attack on nnd loss of detachments of scouts at Orns nnd Dolores Is correct. Pulajanes have of late left west and north sides of Samar and become active on east coast, which Is practically without harbor and very difficult of occess during prevalence of the existing monsoon. Orders were given some time since to strengthen all detach ments on the east coast but unfortun ately this was delayed by wreck and Ibss of a coast guardboat carrying a hundred of more of the constabulary. The men wore saved but the delay In sending another coust guardboat to the rescue resulted In leaving these small detachments at Orus and Dolores Isolated and the consequent loss. All east stations have been heavily reinforced and we are still sending men In by my direction. Gen. Allen (chief of constabulary) left here (Manila) two weeks since to take per sonal charge of affairs In Humar. I still further reinforcing him with constabulary and am consulting with Gen. Corbin who, if necessary, will aid us with troops. (Signed) “WRIGHT.'' ’ROJIISES ARE MADE BY CZAR Roanoke Elks' Generosity. ROANOKE.

Dyer county, is probably the most prominent at the present time In the eyes of the Christian church through out Tennessee as well as In other states. Chancellor Cooper of the ninth chancery division wil hear the case growing out of the installation of nn organ and other features of church work when the chancery court con vene* at Dyersburg two weeks from now. About one year ago a minority of the congregation of the Newbern Christian church filed at Dyersburg a chancery bill against the elders and a majority of the congregation alleging that the defendants had departed from the faith of the Christian church In that they were participating In mis sionary societies and used an organ to aid In song and worship and they ask ed an injunction against the defend ants, restraining them from using an organ or participating In missionary societies. Subsequently the complainants filed an amended and supplementary bill making the Tennessee Christian mis sionary convention a party defendant. With thia precedent, if set. the non progressive Christians all over the state, who are aaid to be a minority of the entire connection, might take Steps to apply the decision to every church where organs are used an- missionary societies recognized.
