The hundreds of persons who witnessed the scene applauded, and Saturday morning Miss Arnold awoke to find her name on every tongue.

Of course they showed the papers to her with the incident of the night before printed on the first pages, many of them devoting a column or more to the story of the kiss and displaying her name in big type in the headlines. Every one considers that Miss Arnold is the prettiest young lady at the Beach. She is 22 veare old and is passing the summer there with her mother. Their home in Bt. Louls is at 4101 Morgan street. The reception given Friday night to Lieut. Hobson was such as to test the modesty of any hero, but the Lieutenant bore h.m- self with graceful composure until Miss Arnold ran up to him end cried impul- éively: “May I kiss you?" Blushing at her temerity, she turned elo- quent eyes on the lieutenantand her parted lips, like tw.n roses, whispered eweet invi- tation. Whe could resist? Not the Lieutenant, gallant man that heis.

An indi-| cation that the naval authorities feel as- sured of peace at an early date is found in the fact that steps have been taken toward reducing the naval force. The Michigan Naval Resreves on the Yosemite at Norfolk wil] be relieved from duty as soon as their places can be filled by others. Secretary Long said there were plenty of regulars to do the work. The Michigan Reserves were the first to be affected for the reason that their ship reached a home port first. —-— + -@&—— -— Deputy Sheriff Schuster’s Son Swore Out a Warrant for Assault.

Steele, whose death. from yellow fever is announced from Santiago de Cuba, was stationed in Chicago for two years in the Signal Service branch of the army. The lieutenant was 33 years old and had spent 12 years of his life in the regular, army. He enlisted in St. Louis when 21 years old and was assigned to service in the Sixth Cavalry. After serving his first five years term, during which he participated in the Sioux campaign at Pine Ridge, he re-eniisted and took a course of instruc- tion in signaling, after which he was trans- ferred to that branch of the service. He Was a sergeant when he left the cavalry and was given the same rank when he en- tered the Signal Corps. At various times he Was stationed at San Francisco, Denver and Chicago. After the breaking out of the present war Steele was comm ssioned first lieutenant and went with Shafter’s army to Santiago, He was one of the men in the famous bal- loon which ascended to take observations of the enemy's position. The balloon was riddled with bullets, but the aeronauts es- caped with their lives. Lieut. Steele leaves a widow and two children, who are visit- ing his relatives in Almonte, Ontario.

IN ST. LOUIS EN ROUTE HOME. Sons of Rich Men, They Say, Fought Like Tigers and Showed the Stuff They Were Made of. Two strapping youths in military uniform alighted from a Vandalia train at Union Station Friday morning. They were F. N. Bea] and E. W Newcomb, troopers belong- ing to Col. “Teddy” Roosevelt's Rough Riders. ‘They are en route home to Okla- homa direct from New York, where they underwent surgical treatment for gun-shot wounds. To a Post-Dispatch representative they told a thrilling story of their Cuban experiences. “We landed in Cuba about June 22 with 740 men,” said Newcomb. “Contrary to popular impression we were not mounted as cavalrymen, since the brush is too dense in Cuba for horses. A squad was left in Tampa to care for the live stock, so that our hting capacity was considerably re- duced. The march to Santiago was under the most unfavorable conditions. The weather was terrifically hot, and after 14 hours’ trudging in the Dilazging sun we were willing to pray for the end of our journey. “We led the regulars the second day, June 23, and encountered a troop of Span- iards shortly before noon. The fight began in earnest at once, and we hopped about lively to escape.the Spanish bullets that rained on us from all sides. A few seconds later our men began to drop on the fleld dying and wounded. Young Hamilton Fish of New York was the first to forfeit hie life. He was a‘bold, darifg fellow and feared no danger. He charged on the enemy with almost reckless bravery. ‘The sens of millionaires, of whom there were not a few with us, fought nobly for their country. Their wealth and social distinction was entirely obliterated in the struggle against the common enemy. They ate hard tack with the same relish as those who were unused to better fare. “Nine of our comrades were killed in the skirmish I referred to, and 21 were wound- There were twice that number on the regulars’ mortality Hist. After a stubborn fight we routed the Spaniards. We reached Santiago on the evening of June 2%, after fifty hours’ weary marching. The town of El Caney was captured on July 1, but not with ease. The onslaught on the Spanish breastworks and block houses was tremen- dous, and I thought the roar of gun and musketry would never cease. “The following day the army renewed the assault on San Juan heights.

' BLEW UP THE BANK. Bold Robbery Committed at Richland, Mich. RICHLAND, Mich., Aug. 6.—One of the most daring and successful bank robberies ever perpetrated in Michigan was carried out by six robbers last night. Some of them came from the east on a handcar, and evidently had confederates with a horse and carriage. They secured between $0000 and $7000 cash from the Union Bank and $4600 In notes .The horse and carriage were taken into Augusta and left there... There were three explosions, which awakened many people. Alvin Barnes, an old man who lived near the bank, was ordered into the house with a threat that they would shoot him. George Robson and Ed Barrett saw the robbers, but @id not molest them. The safe Was a complete wreck, nitro-glycerine being used to open it. The inside doors were blown 10 feet out tnto the: office, and pieces went through the plate-glass front, B feet dis- — The chisela and other tools were left hefe. The handcar was disabled eo that it could not be used to pursue the robbers, According to witnesses, four of the rob- bers were placed on guard outside the bank, which is a small wooden buliding. Three ‘charges of dynamite were exploded before the robbers got at the money and escaped. The bank is owned by N. 8. Whitney and P. H. Gilkey. They say that the lores is be- tween $0000 and 100, mostly farmers’ de- posits. APPROVED BY M’KINLEY. The Children’s Battleship Idea In- dorsed by the President. WASHINGTON, Aug. 6—W.

Recorder Lewis has worked out his own solution of the vexed internal revenue stamp problem as it applies to marriage licenses. Under Collector Grenner’s ruling the minister performing.the ceremony was heid responsible for the tax, but so many un- stamped returns have been made that the Recorder has taken the question in his own hands. On Saturday he ordered the clerks in the marriage license department to charge an extra 20 cents on all permits to wed, the stamps being affixed before the I'cense is delivered to the cantracting parties. In this way Mr. Lewip hopes to save money and endless worry. STOLE A DIAMOND RING. Emma Jones, Colored, Purloined @ ' Jewel From Miss Medart.

COMMISSIONER SUBMITS AN OPINION WHICH MR. GREN- NER CALLS ABSURD. MORE RULINGS AFFECTING THE SALE OF MEDICINES. Average Daily Receipts at the Office of the Collecccr of Internal Revenue Amount to About $25,000. Uncle Bamuel has realized over $1,000,000 additional taxes from the people of St. Louis since the war revenue law went Into effect. The amount is divided as follows: Proprietary stamps, $54,018.93; documen- tary stamps, $31..130.84; special tax stamps. $106,429.26; tax on cigars and cigimettes $94,254; tax on manufactured tobacco, $20.- 000; beer tax, $225,000; the total aggregating $1,046, 133.03. From these figures it will be seen that the breweries and tobacco manufacturers nominally bear the burden of taxation, but as their products have been increased in excess of the tax, they are really deriving @ profit under the new law. The l.quor ana topacco tax is double what it was under the old law, so that the sum quoted is only one-half the aciual cash paid to the collector from these sources. The revenue in special tax stamps, which fre virtually special licenses for the va- rious lines of business affected by the act, show. up remarkably well. The docu- mentary stamps which are pasted on every slip of paper containing a money stipula- tion, are yielding the Government an abundance of cash. Cigarettes and cigars are not used ag extensively: as was sup- posed, judging from the slght eincome of the Government from their sale. The demand for tax stamps continues and the Internal Revenue Co. lector’s bow ks show an average dally revenue of $20.00 from that source. Collector Grenner be- lieves that St. Louis wil) contribute any- where from $8,000 000 to $10,000,000 interna! revenue taxes to defray the expenses of the war with Spain. A decision which Mr. Grenner pronounced fe absurd was received from Cummiss oner Scott Saturday relative to tax on checks. The communication from Washington reads: Daniel Hart, Jr., of Berger, in your district, has been referred to you, and you will please inform him that the Seent trade check fesued by him, sample of which is sent bere, being an engraved eircelar plece of paper reciting, ‘‘that this check in good at the store of Danie) Hart, Jr., for the amount shown on back,’’ viz., 5 centa, is noi held to be subject to tax stamp unless it should come to be accepted and paid by third parties es and order for the payment of money. In commenting upon this letter Mr. Greri- her eaid: “If the commissioner's ruling were to Stand it would nullify the whole law bear- ing upon the taxation of checks. The amount involved is «mall, but nevertheless is an order for money and should ton- tain a 2-cent stamp. I have notified Tnited States District Attorney Rozier of the commissioner's instruction, and he will appeal the quest.on to the Attorney Gen- eral in Washington.” Mr, Grenner has Informed the Hopkins- Weller Drug Co. that muriatic tinctures, jlron extracts, witch haze) and codliver oil were not taxable. R. D. Kirkpatrick, manager of the Amer- fean Linseed and Castor ©ill Works, has written to the authorities at Washington, asking if castor oll is lable to stamp tax, and if it may be dispensed by the retailer without additional stamping. Commissioner Scott replies that castor oil is not subject to stamp tax unless sold under a label as a remedy or apecific for any ailment; as hav- ing any spc claim to merit; as having any peculiar advantage in mode of prepara tion, quality, use or effect. Liquors not known and used as wine, or the principal ingredient of which Is not wine. do not require stamps unless they are held out or rect™mended to the publ by the makers, venders or proprietors thereof as proprietary medicines or prep- arations or as remedies or specifics for any disease. “We are under the opinion,”” says Com- missioner Scott, “that vermouth when bot- tled for sale as such is taxtible and must be stamped as wine under the law referred to. The basis or principal ingredient ot vermouth is white wine and the fact that other ingredients are added does not take it from the category of wines, at least for purposes of internal revenue taxation,” TOOK A DRINK OF POISON.

Mrs. Cervasco is an unusually attractive She took the stand and told the story of how she was awakened and saw the negro in the room. She told of her desperate struggle and how the officers cap- tured him. Her identification of the negro was most positive. Judge Peabody heard the evidence of Mrs. Cervasco and was indignant. “I decline to be made a catspaw of by the police or by the courts that should try such cases,” said the irate Judge. *“‘Now this man is tharged with two petty crimes. If this woman's testimony is true, and I’have no doubt of it, he is guilty ofa high crime. The most I could fine him would be $500 and this would be no more than a $100 fine, for I cannot send him to the Workhouse for more than six months. He is guilty of more than that and should be tried for a high erime and given a pefitentiary sentence of 10 or 20 years. “Now, if I try him for the petty offense I will be expectedsby the public and by the police to fine him for the higher crime. Then if he appeals the case the court will rule that the fine is excessive and reverse me. “This case should have been brought in the Court of Criminal Correction. The po- lice should have known enough to have taken it there in the first place. If the police are afraid they cannot get justice there that does not justify them in making me try cases that are really out of my jurisdiction in their endeavors to make an- other court do its duty. “I believe in seeing the laws enforced and I realize that this negro has committed a monstrous crime, but [I will not try the ease. I will continue it for one week. This will give the police time to see whether they cannot get the proper court to act.” scrimmage, Seemiller declaring that if he | | appear ACTOR STRANDED AND SICK.

His action was refreshingly prompt. Mrs. Cervasco related the setory once more. It Was corroborated by witnesses. “Assuredly you are entitled to a warrant,” said the official. It was promptly tssued. Police Capt. Reynolds said there was no evidence of burglary. That was his reason for not ordering his policemen to apply for a warrant. The Prosecuting Attorney thought the evidence ample and Issued the warrant in two minutes after the case was brought to his notice. The policemen making the arrest said the Cervascos did not care to prosecute; that they did not want to be bothered. Mrs. Cervasco told a reporter that she was never spoken to by the police about the affair, except when ehe was told to in the police court. She said she would like to see the negro prosecuted to the full extent of the law. Chief Campbell, when his attention was called to the case, said: ‘Some one, it seems to me, haa been guilty of negligence, and I will make an investiga- tion immediately.

Spectal to the Post-Dispatch. MACON, Mo., Aug. 6.—The Republicans of the First, District are having trouble to get some one to run for Congress. Hon. John C. McKinley announced early In the fray he didn't want the nomination. Col. Blees of Macon has peremptorily declined. John R. Musick of Kirksville it ts under- stood don't want it. In 1897, at the special) election, Maj. C.ark of Hannibal demon- strated that it was possible for a Repub- lican candidate to have a majority of nearly 6000 piled up against him and was glad to be permitted to live. This took all the fight out of the statesmen of his faith. The Democratic papers, who were rather sarcastic over the convention's action when there was a probability that Col Blees would run, are nfow kindly commending tha’ gentleman for keeping the head of his barrel screwed down. Now the- Republ- cans want a man to run, barrel or no barrel. Chairman Francis has called the committee to meet here Monday and it Is hoped some one with good lungs and capa- ble of being hopeful under adverse cir- et can be persuaded to accept the se onor.”’ BLUE AND GRAY MEET. Enthusiastic Reunion Held in Macon County, Missouri. Special to the Post-Dispatch. MACON, Mo., Aug. 6.—Congressman Jas. T. Lloyd addressed an audience of nearly 3000 at the reunton of the Biue and Gray at Atlanta, Macon County. His speech was weli received by both Republicans and Demo- crats, and he was frequently cheered. He argued that territorial mattera and terms of ,eace were now in the hands of the admin- stration for solution, and it should be per- mitted to handle them pensmpetsS by ad- vice or criticism from perky eaders. Mr. Lloyd said the duty of the statesman began where the army work left off; that after the war the civil questions arising were of great importance, and upon their correct solution depended the welfare of the coming genera- tion, The soldier and the statesman go hand in hand with their work, one to plan and the other to execute.

This pathetic little appeal from an orphéen boy touched Chief Campbell's heart as much as did the short note from a “hearte broken mother’ in Crystal City, Mo., that was printed in the Post-Dispatch Wednes- day. The Crystal City woman had lost her only child, a boy of 9 summers. His playe- things and clothing were constant and sed reminders of the grief that had come upon her. She wrote a simple Iittie note to 8t. Louis’ Chief of Pol.ce, and sent in a big box her dead boy's clothing and toys, re- questing that they be given to some boy who ‘could use them, but whose parents Master hianley read the letter in the Post- Dispatch and the letter printed above the result; When It was received the tents of the box from Cryaetal City had ready been distributed. But Chief Cam did not consign the orphan's letter to the waste hasket. He took time to study the little fellow’s letter and to decipher the ute symmeirical letters, The fact that the Crys. tal City playthings were all gone should not cause disappointment to come to the hapless home out on Evans avenue. The pathetic little missive touched a ten. der spot in the ble Chief's heart, and he allied his private secretary to his desk. He put his hand in h's own pocket and drew out two eilver dollars. e gave them ‘were.unable to buy them, + * t Secretary Jones and inetrucced him to we something for the fatherless and manly lit'le fellow whose plessures were so few.

STATESMANSHIP. ° ' In the elevation of George Curzon to the Viceroyship of India another Atmerican woman is raised, as his wife, to a place of great prominence and influence. Mr. Chamberlain, Secretary for the Colonies, has an Amer- jean wife. Lady Randolph Churchill, the Duchess of Mari- borough, the Duchess of Manchester and a host of American women, whose marriages with social and political leaders of England give them powerful Influence, might be mentioned. What must be the effect of these intermarriages on the refations and attitudes of the United States and Great Mritain? How can it be other than potent in favor of amity and mutual good understanding. It is impossible to measure the influence of these American wives upon British leaders, but that it is very strong goes without argument. How cana British statesman, whose home is graced by an American wife, feel otherwise than kindly disposed towards her country? ° Marriages of American girls with Englishmen are usually viewed as mere social events, but they are strong political factors. Who can say how much our girls in England have helped to bring about the friendly relations of the two Gov- ernments? Statesmen must take off their hats to the charm. ing girls. ee — —— We may have to send a few shiploads of New England schoolma'ams to our colonies before we shall have gone far in our new business of governing foreign parts. = — _ - 2 WE'RE PROUD AGAIN Tucked away in a corner of an Eastern newspaper is this interesting literary announcement: “The manuscript of ‘The Heavenly Twins’ and ‘Ships That Pass in the Night’ were de- #iined by a New York Publisher.” _~ Could anything be more gratifying to American pride, self- respect and humor? These two books which ravaged the country for months, plunging the reading public into a de- bauch of morbidity unparalleled in literary annals, were offered to an American publisher and declined. It is pleasant to know that an American resisted the temptation which was too strong for the London publisher. When it comes to literary judgment and good taste American publishers are proper folks.

Are not our Fnglish cousins rather overdoing the kin-be- yond-the-sea business” Statesmen, soldiers and journalists al! cry out in rapture that now is America’s opportunity. They pat us on the back, telling us what good fellows we are. Our soldiers are Wonderful, our sailors are unsurpassed, our ships are the best in the world—and our statesmanship is simply convine- ing. It makes Americans fee! good al! over. But the butter of fattery is well seasoned with the salt of. Bdvice. We must not falter in the face of grave responsi- bilities. And if we can't make up our minds just what our _ Terponsibilities are and how grave they are, our good cousins will tell us all about it. We must “take in” the Philippines end Carclines and Ladrones. We must, as the Spectator ob- Nas Serves, take a dozen or twenty West Pointers, put them in tharge of our new provinces and for assistants look to Har- vara and Yale, which will send out bright young men to fll * the civil service—a fresh, clean civil service which shal) = need reform, because,/ehall it not be composed of the Of course “there will be no stealing or muddling or “v"}perish the thought, Are we pot Americans” %ur » > * —— ee @aty is plain as a pikestaff—whatever that may be. We must accept the duty and police the world with saintly West Pointers and ardent volunteers. It's all very nice, and Americans believe firmly all the lovely things said about them. They believe that the butter is pure and the salt full of savor. But somehow we can’t help thinking that there’s guile in gush. The example of a nation is of vastly more importance than that of any individual. Let us bear in mind that the eyes of the whole world are now upon the United States, and that ‘ve shall be judged by the policy we shall follow under the new and unexpected conditions which we are now confront- ing. a 1. SECRETARY ALGER'S CASE. It is definitely charged that* Gen. Wade's division was formed by the War Department to join the rto Rican “picnic” for political reasons, in order to placate States none of whose troops had been ordered to the front. Although the conditions of the Santiago army must have been known to Secretary Alger, nearly all the transports were drawn away from Santiago for the purpose of sending useless reinforcements to Porto Rico. The army was wretch- edly provided with supplies and hospital resources, and was rapidly succumbing to disease, but it was the intention of the War Department to leave it in Cuba to a miserable fate until the protest of Col. Roosevelt and his fellow officers under Shafter forced an immediate change of plan. Secretary Alger went into the Cabinet under a cloud, and evidence of mismanagement of his department for political purposes has cropped out from the beginning. Many of the grave mistakes that have been made have been susceptible of the suspicion of unworthy influences. Secretary Alger does not redeem his mistakes by attacking the men who are trying for the good of the army and ‘the country to prevent or correct them. He would better look to his own conduct and reputation than to devise schemes to discredit Col. Roosevelt, who did gallant service at Santiago, and who, whatever his errors, is prompted in his advice and protest by a desire to save the lives of brave Americans and to promote the welfare of the army and the country. i, Li hy - - The Washington Post, a protection organ, declares that we shall go step by step to free trade through the impelling force of protection. Is this not rather alarming to the pro- tected plunderers? Or will they be so well established in great trusts as to be prosperous under any system? +oe The American capital to be placed in our colonies its likely to employ the cheap labor at hand rather than that which American immigration would offer it. If manufactories are built in the new territory they must necessarily compete with those we have established in the States. e > >a i The return of Stephen A. Douglas to his distinguished father’s party because of machine corruption in Illinois may not cause a stampede of other Republicans, but State affairs over there really do need. .a good deal of mending from one party or another. The statement that the greater part of the Dutch nation is sympathizing with Spain is enough to make William the Silent. get out of his grave and howl. It is quite incredible to any American reader of Netherland history. eee ' The stories of want and of degraded children show that greater efforts are needed on the part of our charitable peo- ple. Interest in the war should not allow us to forget those who are starving in body and soul at home. >>>. al a After we shall have captured all the Spanish islands we shall have time to turn our attention to recapturing all our great American cities that have been so long in the hands of scheming bosses and, corporations. Roosevelt's disregard of conventionalities in urging the de- parture of our pest-imperiled heroes is as glorious as his bravery in action.

Having noticed some time ago in your paper a kick against social clubs, I now take great pleasure in answering. The Piney Ridge Club, of which I am a member, was originally ‘composed of 17 members, but now having only five. other 12 membere have gone to the front to help fimht Spaniards in the interest. of Uncle Sam. Among those who have gone are Frank Cabrilliac, Val Steigers, John Sackett, Her- A ee ee man Bene, .Frank Ford, William Runge James Gray, Paul Potzer, Arthur Potzer. J. Meyers, C, Frazier and W. Paxton. The above young men, ail members of the Piney Ridge Social Club, were among the first to volunteer their services to the Gov- ernment. They have shown what a social or pleasure ciub can do. It shows they are true Americans, ever ready and willing to fight and even die in defense of their country. E. T. L., Secretary. St. Louis. The Weed Nuisance.

Re- tween Goodfellow and Clara, and Maple and Bartmer, there is a crop of weeds higher than a man’s head-and so thick it to walk through.

CITIZEN. -_ -_-----@-- E third of Mrs. Ritchie’s Biographical Editions of Thackeray's Compiete Works is “The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon, Esq.” These are delightful in get up and the sketchy bits of the life and sur- roundings of her father at the time of his writing the work are especially graphic aud to lovers of Thackeray constitute the most acceptable biography. The chief meri of the series is in fact that along with the works we obtain a trustworthy biography from an authoritative source. The volume is embellished with many illustrations which have never before appeared in print. (Published by Harper & Bros., New York.) 66 YN THE SARGASSO SEA” te a rattling | sea tale by Thomas A. Janvier. Rog- er Stetworth, a young man of 3. takes passage on the Golden Hand for Loango on the west coast of Africa. Hardly have they left New York than he discovers that the ship is destined for the slave trede. The captain takes him into his confidence and offers him a place. The boy refuses and the rascals throw him overboard. They ate then skirting the Sargasso Sea. Stet- worth luckily finds himself in the neighbor- ef some wreckage and climbs upon it, He ig rescued by a passing steamer, but that vessel is abandoned in what is suppos- ed by the crew to be a sinking condition after a hurricane, Stetworth, who had been maittreated by the slaves, is left aboard ship... He floats about for a time and in the course of his wanderings has a muiti- tude of adventures in the m)sterious Sar- gasso Sea. steamer and the st happily ends. The story ts full of ge and spirit. (“In the Sar- gasso Sea.’’ By Thomas A. Janvier. Har- per & Bros., New York.) James Gardner Sanderson has given a very graphic picture of Cornell and student life at that university in the collection “Cornell Stortes.”" There are alx of them, which together afford a very complete view of the subject. There isa plenty of humor, plenty of dash, plenty of roung mannishness—all very natural and kable. (“Cornell Stories." = James Gardner Sanderson. Charles cribner’g Sons, New York.)

In this volume we get the child as she really is, the boy just growing into the youth, the young girl just beginning to know the power of womanho Miss Hall has dts- covered, too, that the common child—the child of the street ev@én—is in no wise different from her more fortunate brother and sister. For elder persons too she is full of tolerance. Few would see in Mrs, Dariing, who figures in “The Hundred,” a woman with a heart. Until the climax she is nothing but an impoverished character, whose .very faults are uninteresting. But Miss Hall knew better and gave the poor woman a chance. She wasn't a mere but- terfly or a mere pampered fool. She had a heart and a character not woony pa ized by too many good things of fortune. The volume ts full of delicate understand- ing.

J. GETCHER GUN™. Are Revenge Alleged as Reason. From the Kansas City Star. Gov. Stephens has been true to his weas en instincts as a man and his petty meth- ods as a politician in refuaas to issue a volunteer commission as Captain to Charles O’Brien of the Fifth. Missourl’ Regiment. The motive for this act of injustice is ney personal. It ehould be understood by the War De- artment—to which, it appears, Stephens as made complaint concerning O’ Brien— that the only interest of the vernor of Missouri in this-affair is, first, the gratifi- cation of an ignoble spirit of personal re- sentment, and, next, the desire to reward with the commission which O’Brien has earned a partisan favorite who eympat with the Governor’s ambition to maintain a political prominence which ts offensty to the public and damaging to the State o Missouri.

Hilde looked at the barracks beyond the rue Pandore where, through a brief interval of iron railing, she could see the line infantry marching and Wheeling to the sound of bugles. Down at the Port Rouge:‘a solid column of wagons poured over the pont- levis-vehicles of every size and shape, were dumb, peering through the dust with hopeless eyes, tearless and resigned. Even the children, laughing up into their wist- ful mothers’ eyes, grew sober and sat on the heaps of bedding, staring down at the huddled cattle trampling by on either side. To Hilde,~however the distant wagon train, half hidden in dust, was scarcely Visible except where it wound through the gate. Even there she could not distinguish features of age or sex, for the Porte Rouge was too far away, and the foliage of the chestnut trees hid a great deal. How much she divined is not certain, but she turned away into the house, a new weight on her heart, a sudden heavy foreboding.

She thought of Harewoog of the first time they had entered the bird store to- gether. She thought of that moment when, before she knew it, he had bent and kiesd her and, wonder of wonders! she had kissed him. .Why? The eternal ‘question always returning—why? Why? It wearied her to think, and what was the use. Until he had kissed her she had always sup- posed that sueh a kiss was sin. The alseters at the convent said so. Now she did not know—she knew nothing except that they had kissed each other. She had not re- sisted. She had never thought of resisting.

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—There ts the like- ‘lihood of a legal contest growing out of the establishment of the new camp at Montauk Point, L. I. Scott &.Tredwell of this city, attorneys for the Montauk tribe of Indians. have served notice on United States Attorney General Griggs that they claism ownership of the land and protest against dealings for possession of the point by the United States Government with the Long Island Railroad Co Former Judge Scott said last evening that the notice was served because his clients did not wish to be held guilty of laches by failure to assert their right at all times when their rights were ignored. “If the United States Government fails to recognize the rights of the Indians,” Judge Scott said, “proper proceedings w. a be instituted to compel it to do so. The railroad has no title to this land, has been from the beginning a trespasser and so will be the Government also if it oc- ouaian any part of Montauk Point covered by the claim of the Indians, unless the occupancy is authoriged by the Montauk tribe.’ A NEW SILVER BASIS.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, July 77.—The dirty condition of this city, the heaps of foul refuse that encumber the streets, the maladorous alleys and byways, the lack of sanitary arrangements and drainage of any description are all matters that will require remedying if this is to become an American city. It should be remembered that the weeks of biockade, the fear of bomherdment, the scarcity of food and the genera] demoralization existing in @ be- sieged town have done much to edd to the conditions of filth and poor sanitation that normally prevail. For generations the peo- ple have lived regardless of the first rules of hygiene; the lower classes are sqneca of all precautionary measures a it not surpris.ng when our American officers issue an order through the Civil Governor of Santiago stating that all houses must at once thoroughly cieaned, inside and out, the order is disregarded. Orders are con- Stantly issued to the peop.e to report at once the death of any one in their house- boid, and threats of fine and enforced labor as a punishment carry little weight. Iextreme measures wi.l have to be taken to bring about a proper condition of affairs in this respect, and it will take many months of example and etringent entioee- ment of regulations to wrung the people to an observance of what is clearly best for their health. In the military hospital of the city there were on July 26 562 cases of the prevalent ma.arial fever, 121 cases of dysentery, cases of diarrhea, 274 cases of aenemia and 19 cases of yellow fever.

The leader did not deny receiving the money, but as- Serted that jt was his surpose to use it for the benetit of the strikers. There was no evidence of him havirg betrayed the strik- ers or even given any pledges, but he was deposed from office anc put out of the or- Lanization, whort t'me after the strike had been won some miners at O'Fallon struck be- cause he was employed ase a mine superin- tendent, Carson then secured employment As superintendent of a mine at Thomas’ Landing, about fifty miles up the river, and removed there with his family.

NO PANAMA CANAL. icans Are in Favor of the Nica- ragua Route. A NEW YORK, Aug. 6.—The American Chamber of Commerce in Paris recently addressed an inquiry to Mr. Edward Hol- brook of this city in regard to some pro- sed alliance of interests between the ‘anama and the Nicaraguan Canl compa- nies, asking particularily whether it would be tble to awaken the interest of the American people in the Panama project. or: Holbrook referred the inquiry to Hiram itohcock, President of the Maritime (Co. of Nicaragua, from whom he has received the following letter: Ddward Holbrook, President of the Gor- ham Manufacturing Co.: Dear Sir—In reply tg your question as to hether there is any ‘ground for believing that erica or the American people would 5 to aid or encourage the con- Structon ot the Panama Canal, I will say that I leve any movement in that di- rection would be wholly futile. Our wisest qeeiecare don’t consider the Panama Canal aeeatie in any economic sense, if at all. Nicaraguan route being at the lowest capcoonen in Central America, and with at- tendant favorable conditions, is the route marked out by nature itself for the “‘Gate- way to the Pacific.”’ neers of greatest ability and experi- ence all admit its entire feasibility at a moderate outlay for a work of such magni- ude. The Maritime Canal Co. of Nicaragua is chartered by the United States and holds | the concessions from Nicaragua and Costa A bill is now pending in Coneress —which will undoubtedly become a law— amending the charter so as to enablé the United States to acquire 70 per cent of the stock of the company and to furnish all the money required for construction, The Nicaragua Canal is a realization of the ntiment, dent, United States.

He then forgot where he lived, d when he climbed on the sulky he turned the Jhorse’s head out the Georgetown road. When he reached the Ebel mine it oc- curred to him that he was more likely to land at Cairo than at Bornman Heighte if he kept on. He tried to turn the horse around, but it said neigh, ne.gh, and kicked a few holes in the air. The ensuing controversy at- tracted the attention of Mr. Ebel, who went out to investigate. He found Moser Standing in the road trying to convince the horse that it ought to take him back to town Just then it broke away and galloped merrily off toward Belleville, leav- ing Moser standing in the road.

The ‘uid had run down, covering nearlyy all paris of the stove. As the match flared up there was a flash and instantly the end of the room was in flames. Mrs. Franks was covered from the waist up with the burning fluid. She ran scream- ing into the parlor among her startled guests.

They have carried on their depredations jn open defiance of the police. Many houses have been entered and pillaged in proad daylight. Silverware and household articles to the value of several thousand dollars have been stolen. Chief of Police Camp- bell has carefully concealed information of the robberies from the newspapers. After a conference with Chief of Detectives Des- frond recently, he detailed six special of- ficers to duty in the infested locality. As told in the Post-Dispatch, more than twelve residences were plundered before the au- thorities decided upon vigorous action, The robberies continue despite the presence of the extra policemen. Shortly after 11 o'clock Friday morning one of the thieves entered the house of ‘Frederick Caesar at 22 Park avenue and took therefrom: a complete set of silver- ware, together with other valuable artl- cles. Mr. Caesar is in Europe and he wil be treated to the surprise of his life when he returns and surveys his home. Three times since his departure robbers have gained entrance to the house. It is said his losses will reach a high dollar mark. After plundering Mr. Caesar's residence the burelars sought more booty a few doors further east, but were scared away by several vigilant young women. They immediately notified the police and two wise-looking bluecoaits appeared on the scene an hour later. A resident of the vicinity said: “We live in mortal dread,"’ said she, “of these desperate characters entering our homes. They come at all hours of the day and night. he Lafayette Park Police Sta- tion is'only a few ‘blocks away, but it might as well be near the river for all the good its officers accomplish.

Veteran Newspaner Man Succumbed to Bright’s Disease. Sincere regret followed the announcement Saturday of the death of Robert D. Bo- gart, a St. Louls newspaper writer, at the pee of his mother in New ‘Brunswick, DIED OF GAS POO TO HAVE COMMITTED SUICIDE. FOUND IN HIS BATH TUB. No Reason Yet Assigned for the Act and It May Have Been Accidcntal. Charles C. Willis, cashier of the Evans & Howard Fire Brick Co., committed sul- cide some time during the afternoon of Friday by asphyxiation. He was found by his wife in the evening lying prone in the bath tub at their home, 1394 Stewart place. Willis arose Friday morning at his usual hour and was apparently in -good spirits. At the breakfast table his wife suggested passing the day with some friends, in which Mr. Willis concurred. He bid his wife and 9-year-old son Eddie good-by and seterout for his office as soon as the morn- ing meal was over. When Mrs. Willis had attended to her household duties she left with her son. On her return in the evening she went to her room to dress for the kitchen. as she was about to prepare the evening meal. A slight odor of gas was wafted to her. Her husband had not returned, she thought, but she was not anxious. As she passed the bathroom door the odor of gas was stronger and she pushed the door open. There in the tub lay her husband. She did not go in, being almost suffocated, and startled into a frenzy. Her screams at- tracted several neighbors, to whom she told of the occurrence amid frantic sobs. Mr. Arthur D. Willis of the Rice-Stix Dry Goods Co., a brother to the dead man, was notified and took charge of the re- mains. No caagse has yet been attributed to the suicide, as Willis bore a fine repu- tation and his financial standing was good, VISSING PLAYED THE HORSE. Hitched Himself to His Former Wagon . and Was Arrested for It. Fred Vissing, a blacksmith at 2 South Fourteenth street, was locked up early Saturday morning on complaint of his neighbor, Solomon Paul of 1311 Chestnut street. More than a year ago Vissing claims he sold a wagon to Paul. When the deal was closed Paul lacked $10 of paying the entire indebtedness. Saturday morning Vissing saw the wagon standing in front of Paul’s place, and he hitched himself to CHARLES C. WILLIS PRESUMED \ BOLD BREAK UR LIBERTY, Lew Zatorski Tries to Escape From the City Hospital. JUMPED FROM SKYLIGHT OF THE ANNEX BUILDING. HIS MOTHER HAD STRUCK HIM WITH A HATCHET IN SELF-DEFENSE. SUFFERING FROM HIS WILDLY NERVOUS CONDITION. Attendant Whelan Managed by Prompt Action to Recapture the Fugitive Imme- diately. Lew Zatorski, the young man who was him on the head with a ‘hatchet, as told in a late edition of the Post-Dispatch, made a desperate attempt to escape from tue City Hospital celihouse Friday evening. He was captured by Harry Whelan, an aitendant. Zatorski begged to be taken out of his cell for a moment, making an excuse that he wanted to go to the toilet room. This permission was readily granted, and Whe- lan, the attendant, accoenpanied the prison- er patient. The cellhouse is a one-story annex to the hospital building, and there is a large skvlight above tne cells, easily accessible from the corridors. This avenue of escape was quickiy observed by Zatorski, and he made a bold break for liberty. As he jumped from the skylight down to the Chestnut street side of the buildin Whelan wae immediately after him, and the clever manner in which the fugitive was returned to his cell was enough to excite the admiration of the best sleuth in town. Zatorski is held a prisoner until the sau- thorities have time to look into the case.

JURY OF SIX CITIZENS — SIT ON THE PHILIPPINES. sults of Admiral Men of National Reputation Discuss the Policy of the Government With Respect to the Re- >. —_ a Dewey's Victory. MR. CHARLES NAGEL.—Mr. Nagel has been Acting Mayor of the city and Presi- dent of the City Council, and is «4 lawyer .of distinguished reputation. VIEWS OF MR. NAGEL. “You have asked a comprehensive ques- and fully answered until all the facts and conditions are known. But as a bare proposition and speaking in the light of our own advantage I would say that we injured Friday by his mother, who struck ' should establish a coaling station and re- tain enough ground to enjoy the benefits of its use and secure its proper management. But no more. Final disposition must de- pend upon circumstances that are now not known or which may arise. I do not know how far the Government, in acting with the Insurgents, has obligated itself, nor am I in possession of sufficient information re- garding Spanish rule there or the ability of the natives to govern themselves to hazard an opinion. “The common public, I am sure, does not know all that is in possession of the Gov- ernment, and I do not believe the officials at Wash'ngton have as much information as they will need te fairly and honestly set- tle this question. But whatever comes we should not aspire beyond a coaling station in the Philippines.’’ GEN. GEORGE HB. SHIELDS.—Under the Harrison Administration, and for a part of Cleveland's second term, Gen. Shields was the Solicitor of the Interior Depart- ment, and is prominent In the practice of national and international law. VIEWS OF GEN. SHIELDS. “I express my sentiments concerning this whole question when I say that I heartily approve of President McKinley’s terms of peace. The Philippe question is one that will admit of wide debate and the Presi- dent has done_well to leave it open in the absence of the facts which the Govern- ment must have and which will come to the commission appointed to dispose of the subject. “In the light of the history of the United States I am not afraid of annexation. I have no doubt we would be as successful in making the islands great and rich as we have been in the territory west of the Mississippi, which, when annexed, was all Savages and wilderness. “But it is a question of policy with me and with the country, whicn can only be de- termined after all the facts have been made knewn.”’ EX-GOV. WM. J. STONE.—Mr. Stone was three times a member of Congress from the Vertion County District; served four years as Governor of the State and is the Missouri member of the National Dem- ocratic Com- mittee. VIEWS OF EX-GOV. STONE. “I do not think the United States should seize the Philippine Islands and exercise sovereignty over in That would be a direct infraction of the epirit of the Mon- roe Doctrine. That\@octrine forbids Euro- ean nations interféring with countries on his continent. Hawali and Porto Rico’ be long on th'‘s side. But we have no right to the Philippines. “Instead of an extension of territory we should work for an extension of commerce in the Orient. We should have’ harbors and sheltering places for our merchantmen and warships, not oniy in the Philippines, but in the Carolines and Ladrones. But I do not think we should take an entire island nor the city of Manila. “My idea is that we should allow Spain to resume contro] after she has granted us the concessions in the way of harbors tion and one that cannot be intelligently. and more probable possibility. lags SETH W. COBB.—wr. Cobb served - three terms in Congress from the City of St. Louis and was a prominent factor in that body. He is a successful grain merchant and recently made a tour of the Orient. — VIEWS OF MR. COBB. We should by all means hold the city of Manila for a coaling and naval station. Other than that I do not see that we have any use for the Philippines. -They are too far away and their possession and gov- ernment by us would mean a standing army of 100,000 men. “Why not retain the city and leave Spain to restore her rule in all the remainder of the islands? What is the use of being too hard on the poor devils? They’ve lost enough in this war, as it is.”’ MR. CHARLFS PARSONS.—®r. Parsons is one of the oldest and best Known bankers in the Western country. He is identi- fied with several financial institu- tions and the Amerjcan Bankers’ Asso- ciation. VIEWS OF MR. PARSONS. “Tl do not think it would be right or at all honorable for the United States to turn the Philippines over to Spain, because we have in the first place encouraged ‘the Fil.pinos to fight-the Spaniards, and they have shown great ability as warriors, hav- ing conquered their former masters in many sanguinary battles, taking some thousands of the Spanish regulars prisoners. They deserve our full consideration. Either we should protect them or else govern them. “There is no doubt they have been abused and misgoverned by the Spantards, who only rule colonies to ruin, or at least to enslave and tyrannize. No consideration should be shown Spain in the Phi:ppine matter.”’ GEN. R. FRANK WALKER.—®*:. Walk- er served four years as Attorney General of Missouri and has had special cogniz- ance of international law and gov- erpment polfcies for many years. OPINION OF GEN. WALKER. “rT am in favor of this Government se- curing control and extending its protection to the Philippines; not simply for conquest, for the extension of terr‘tory, the increase of the army or the enlarging of the navy, although all of these may follow as natural] results without in the least affecting our rosperity or endangering our liberties; but r on in favor of it for the higher and nobler purpose of enabling us to entend to a practically enslaved ple the blessings of freedom w.th/all of tts ameliorating and elevating consequences. “T care not whether it Is contrary to the doctrines of the fathers or of the policy of the Government. Doctrines policies change or become meaningless as eivilizations grow older; if this were not true might would still rule mankind and free government would never have been a possibility. ‘Isolation and non-intervention may have been wisdom a hundred years ago, yet be folly and selfishness t6-day. If we are, as we claim, a free, liberal and progressive eoplé we should be anxious to extend our ieasines to others less favored, and I am not fearful as to the result. The uncon- querable Anglo-Saxon spirtt is equal to every emergency, and wherever it pre- dominates civilization is fostered and free- dom gustained. “T am in favor of acquiring and con- trolling the Philippines for another reason, viz.: That it will render free trade a nearer With the West Indies and the Philippines ours, it will be tmpossible for this: Government to enact laws requiring our citizens here tu pay tribute to the Government for trading with our citizens there. Thus, with in- creased commerce the eyes of our mer- chants will ve opened and the present nar- row and miserable system of so-called pro- tection which burdens 9 per cent of our ple to enrich 10 per cent will, with the . coaling stations, etc., necessary to increase our commerce in the Orient.’”’ oblivion.’ eresy of fiat money, be relegated to THINKS DEATH AN ACCIDENT.

Though more than 80 years old Mrs. Bar- num retains her mentai vigor. She will not accept the theory that her son commitied suicide. ‘There is some m!stake about that,”’ she said. “Freeman could not have done such a thing. He had no cause to take his life. The letter that came from him a week | ago was cheerful and he spoke hopefully of | some business affairs that he at one time feared would go awry. I know that the | war interfered seriously with some of his plans but I am sure not to the extent of j making him seek death. “I do not believe, either, that he brooded over the death of L. Downs, as New York reporters say. I was in the city at) the time Mr. Downs shot himself. He was) one of the most interesting men I ever knew, and was warmly attached to Free-. man. When we heard of his act in Central . Park we were dumfounded. Freeman ' was aS much surprised as any of us, and I am sure grieved genuinely for his friend. For a long time nothing has been said of the dead man, and I do not think my son permitted his thoughts to dwell upon him. “T have been unable to get a word from New Yerk relatives and until] I hear from them fully I will not believe other than that! Mr. Barnum's death was solely due to imperfections in the gas jets in his room. | Parker’s Headache Bowders Are Safe and sure. All druggists, 10c. try them.
