T., Feb. 1.—The merchants and manufacturers’ St. Louis excursion reached Kingfisher at 3:45 Thursday after- noon in good shape. They were met at the depot by a delegation of business men and citizens and the Kingfisher band. Carriages were on hand to convey them about the town to see its chief points of interest. They were made acquainted with the number and capacity of the elevators, milis and mi-eage of trackage in the town as an index to iis business. After doing the suburbs they visited the stores and made many new acqual*tances. Many ladies accompanied the visitors to E! Reno, to attend the banquet.

WILWLING TO BACK MARTINI ASKS THAT OFFICIAL MEASURE- MENTS BE MADE. Martizii of Chicago and Davidson of St. Louis May Be Principals in a Con- test Such as Has Never Be- fore Been Seen. The police department of Chicago has taken exception to the Statement of the po- lice department of St. Louis that the latter has in Murray Pearson Davidson largest policeman in the world. Chief of Police Kipley’ of Chicago shys he has a larger one ‘on his force. That there may be no: doubt upon this im- portant point, the Chicago chief has is- sued a challenge to cape Campbell to an official measurement & “the two bulky pa- ain Ye Which is really the trolmen to ascert the larger man. The man whose dimensions Chief Kip- ley thinks exceeds those of Davidson is Patrolman Edward Martini, who is now engaged in finding slot machines in the Windy City. A St. Louls friend of Chief Kipley wrote to h.m of the statement made by Davidson s friends and inclosged in the letter the meas- urements of the burly St, Louisan. A smile ripled over the chief's face ag he read the letter and scanned the dimensions. Then he touched his bell and asked tor Martini. When Martini responded he wa measured and weighed. According to those who were present the resuits are just as set forth above. If the height measure ments are accurate Martini breathes the ai- mosphere at a half inch higher altitude than Davidson. It is in the weight, how- ever, that Martini believes he has Davidson ten “a mile.’’ Chief Kipley says he tips the scale at 317 pounds, whfle Davinsons friends say his weight is 295 pounds. But these measurements are nut official and titer ata not impartial, While they give the 1ortor of being the biggest policeman to the Chicagoan, Chie Kipiey says he } would like to see the contest take on an of ficial character, so that be settled i an of ever the controversy definitely and to the satia- y. is as light among the Chi- bbies"’ his Strength is the mK, 7 Gepartment.

Probably in challenging St. Louis, Chief Kipley is making an effort to get even for the humillation Chicago endured two years ago when Mayor Ziegenhein forced Carter Harrison to back down on a chal- lenge to husk corn: Now that the discussion as to the biggest policeman is on, it is thought likely that the question of the biggest mayor may be revived. Mayor Ziegenhein lays,claim to the distinction. Of course, this contest is limited to physical dimensions. FRANCHISE’ §=TAX . QUTLOOK Bill Not Likely to Pass—Senate Ways and Means Committee Di- vided. From a Post-Dispatch Staff Correspondent. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., Feb. 1.—The second public meeting to discuss franchise taxation wag held last night before a slim attendance of the joint ways and means committee of the Senate and House. Senators Martin and Walker were the only members of the upper body present, while of the House committee six were absent. It was explained the absentees were at the re- ception tendered by the governor to the legislators. : The speakers included Web M. Rubey, a banker of Macon; H. S. Julian of Kansas City and S. L. Moser of St. Louis. The discussion brought out nothing new and did not seem to make much impression. The presentation of the question by Messrs. Priest, Lionberger and Phelps Wednesday night did not clarify the minds of the legislators. Mr. Lionberger was asked by the Post- Dispatch what effect his argument would have upon the committee. “Well, he repiied, “I think the gentle- men are canipletcly at sea as to a correet solution of the question. So far as l am concerned my views may have contributed to confuse rather than help them.” Mr. Lionberger is right. The joint ways and means committee of the two branches of the assemb.y is vefuddled on this mo- mentous question. Few, however, are will- ing. as Judge Priest suggested, to postpone iegisiation thereon for two years. udge Hawkins, chairman of the House ways and means committee, thinks this idea commendable, but the judge has not strong supporters. The Marion County re mitted to a species of Franehine legislation which would put a tax burden on ; » 5 heated business firm throug! state.

Alumni Society Will Make an Effort to Bring About a Modification of | Plan to Build on Site of Old Building. RESOLVED, That it is the sensé of the meeting that the new City Hospital, as now plannéd, wilt | be inadequate for the needs of thé city. This is, in substance, the resolution adopt: ed by the Medical Society of City Hospital Alumni at its meeting Thursday night. In accordance with the spirit of the resolution a committee consisting of Drs. George He- man, Amand Ravold and John C. Falk was appointed to investigate the subject and re- port at the next meeting of the society; Feb. 7, whether anything practical could be done by those interested to prevent the municipal authorities from carrying out the present plans. Dr. Norvelle Wallace Sharpe presided at the meeting and Dr. John Green, Jr., was secretary. Drs. Fischel, Newman, Merrill, Morfit, Boislinere and Clopton were also present. So were Prof. William Trelease of Shaw’s Garden and several architects, in- cluding Messrs. Ittner, Bulkley and Kirch- ner. ulldi Commissioner Longfellow was present in response to an invitation from Drs, vold, Homan and Falk, who called Thursday night’s special meéting. He explained that under an ordinanve passed recently appropriating the money now in the hospital fund, five buildings are to be built on the site of the old City Hospital, others to be added as soon as the extra money bécomes available. The doctors present thought that the construction of an entire hospital on the old site would not be the pro thing. ‘Yhey favored the establishment of an emergency hospital 6n the site of the old one and recommended the erection of the main hospital near the Insane Asylum. One doctor said that the cityrowned a piece of ground near the asylum that could be utilized for that purpose. Dr. Fischel in- troduced the resolution declaring the pres- ent plan Inadequate and it was unanimously adopted. Dr. Green, Jr., told the Post-Dispatch Fri day that the local society of architects and the St. Louis Medical Society had agreed to co-operate with the City Hospital Alumni organization in anything it might do in this direction. MAS. BAGGEMAN WINS SUIT Wife Got Judgment for Keeping House for Her Husband and His Brothers. A judgmeht for $350 was awarded to Caro- line Baggerman in East St. Louis Friday for services rendered as housekeeper to her husband, Cornelius Baggerman, and John, William and Peter Baggerman, his brothers. In 1887 the four Baggermans formed a co- partnership to manage a farm near Center- ville Station in 8t. Clair County. In 1892, during the life of this partnership, Cornelius Baggerman married and took his wife to the farm, where she assumed the duties of housekeeper for the four brothers and continued in that capacity five years, when the firm was dissolved. Mrs. Baggerman instituted suit for $780 against the four brothers for five years’ service as housekeeper. The brothers denivd iabiiity Om the frounds that she was a member of the family and as such could not reéover from the other members with- out an express contract. The law made a distinction to the effect that, while she was a member of the fain- ily so far as she and her husband alone were concerned, she was not a member of the copartnership family, but simply work- ing for them, and that th no family.

POLICE CHIEF CLAIMS TO RELY ON THE CAMERA. Beneca Taylor, Well-Known St. Louis Lawyer and Friend of the Fos- burghs, Will Defend the Ac- cused Brother. Gpecial to the Post-Dispatch. PITTSFIELD. Mass., Feb. 1.—A mystery, @s deep as the Borden case at Fali River, "the Stillwell murder at Hannibal, Mo., or the Richardson Christmas eve tragedy at Savannah, Mo., is the Fosburgh murder and its sequel. Five months ago May Fosburgh, daugh- ter of a wealthy family, was killed. Her fa- ther, brother and sister say a burglar mur- dered her. Two thousand citizens hunt for days to find the wretch who fired the shot. No murderer jis found; the pollee appear baffled: the case seems about to de put on the list: of unsolved mysteries, whnen— the brother of the dead girl is arrested on an indictment for manslaughter. All his family say he is innocent; the neighbors believe he is innocent. -His char- acter, like ‘that of the other members of the family, has been above suspicion. His father says he will spend every cent he has to prove his son's innocence. The indict- ment shocks the community in which the Fosburghs ,live. One man procured the indictment—Chief of Police Nicholson. He was the principal, if not the. only witness before Ahe grand- jury. He®mustyehave produced some evi- dence to, warrant an indictment. What was the evidence? In justice to young Fosburgh why did it take five: months to bring the ac- cused to court? Why will it take till next July to try him? Why manslaughter and not murder? These are the questions his friends ask. It is said now that the chief of police re- lies on a camera for his evidence. That is in line with the theory—unsupported by the slightest evidence up to date—that young Fosburgh. in a quarrel with his father, shot and killed his sister, who stepped between the men. But all this is in direct contradic- tien to the testimony of all witnesses and is at complete variance. with the affectionate relations between. Mr. Fosburgh and his son. If the camera does present conclusive ev- idence another peculiarly interesting ele- ment is added to an already remarkable case. St. Louis Friend , and Lawyer Appears. Additional interest is now attached to the case by the appearance here today of Scn- eca M. Taylor, a wealthy and eminent law- yer of St. Louis, who comes to defgyid Rob- ert Stewart Fosburegnh. Mr. Taylor is emphatic in his €upport of his friends. “‘Kobert Stewart Fosburgh is innocent,” said Mr. ‘Taylor, ‘“‘and it would be a shame, considering the peculiar phase of ‘this cuse, to wait six months before giving him to prove his innocence. I! propose to invve without delay for an extra term¢of court, so that this may have a speedy trial. An would mean considerable expense, which | taxpayers may not care to stand. I T | shall offer a bond guaranteeing to pay all the costs of the trial myself, every cent of it. dent for this, but if precedent.” Many years ago Robert L. Fosburgh and Seneca M. Taylor were boys together and they have been friends, warm friends. ever since. Mr. Fosburgh has been successful. in business and on various occasions Mr. Taylor has handled important law’ cases for him. Now he {ts associated with Mr. Hibbard as counsel for the defense. More than that, he has practically placed a for- not, I will make a BED . —_— tte Tot fnltifatatatafetatntatanabebtatat taffeta ladon WHERE MISS BERTHA SMELDON SLEPT ___FRIDAY_8T._LOTTIS_PORT-NISPATCH—PERRUARY_1, 1901 Pelee! —s~ a WHERE MR: AND MRS 1 ROBERT 5 FOSBURGSA SLEPT: Le fon fanfo Jatt J ots -e -te oe ee ee the accused man.

That is why Mr. Gardner asked the grand- jury to return a true bill against Fosburgn for manslaughter. He now has the advan- tage of keeving the defense in the dark concerning the state’s intentions until next July, when the case will come to:trial. The Shoe ard the Finger Marks. More by questions than by answer did he | reveal the trend of the case he expects to) establish. “What does Mr. Fosburgh say about the | finger marks on the post of the porch?” he | asked once. | ‘‘He says that a burglar_climbed either up | or down that post,’’ was the answer. ‘‘But the members of the family at the | quest said that.the burglars jumped from the porch. Those finger marks stow in the photograph taken for the police and they |! must be explained,”’ he insisted. ‘“Now, what about the shoe that was left behind by thc, alleged burglars and what about the hat, that came to light the next morning?” Then he mused and half to himself an- swered his own questions: “You will readily understand that I will | not be justified in making public the evi- | dence gathered by the state, but has il oc- curred to you that.possibly that shoe, which was of patent leather, button and cloth top, would hardly be worn by a tramp burglar? young man. extra term | I.don't know that there is a prece- | tune at the disposal of Mr. will accent no retainer, and he wi.l take no fee, and he will go further, he insists, and . will defray all of the expenses of the ease.

LS a = THE ROOT OF THE MATTER. e Cured Himself of Serious Stomach Trouble Down to First Principles, A man of large affairs in one of our prominent eastern cities by too close at- tention to business, too little exercise and too many club dinners, finally began to pay nature’s tax, levied in the form: of chronic stomach trouble; the failure of his digestion brought about a nervous ir- ritability making it impossible to apply himself.to his daily business and finally derangingthe kidneys and heait. In his own words he says: “I consulted one physician after another, and each one seemed to understand my case, bu: all the 'same they each failed to bring about the return. of my iormér digestion, appetite and vigor. pillar to post, from one sanitarium to another. I gave up smoking, I quit cof- fee, and even renounced my daily glass or two of beer, but without any marked improvement. “Friends had often advised ne to try a well-known proprietary medicine, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and I had often perused the newspaper advertisemenis of the remedy, but never took any stock in advertised medicines, nor could believe a fifty-cent patent medicine would touch my case. “To make a long story short; I finally bought a couple of packages at the near- est drug store and took two or three tab- lets after each meal and occasionally a tablet between meals, when [ felt any feel- ing of nausea or discomfort. “T was surprised at the end of the ‘first week to note a marked improvement in my appetite and gencral health, and be- fore the two packages were gone I was certain that Stuart’s Dyspepsia Tablets were going to cure complctely, and they did not disappoint me. I . sleep and enjoy my coffee and ciga~ and no one would suppose I had ever known the horrors of dyspepsia. “Out of friendly curiosity I wrote to ‘the proprietors of the remedy asking tor ‘information as to what the tablets con- ‘tained, and they replied that the principal I regard my Cold Cure as being betier than a life insurance policy. —-MUNYON. | The epidemic of Colds and Grippe con: | tinues.

When Frank Benson counted his fiftieth 'pceint in the three cushion billiard tourna- iment game Thursday evening his opponent, Bob Staley, was but one button behind him, The finish was characteristic*of the entire game, which was close from start to finish, Staley was unfortunate throughout. He was kissed off shots which appeared certain scores 15 times, while his opponent had the ‘same misfortune but eight times. Benson went this advantage better by being kissed on to shots that would have missed nine times. Staley was in this respect entirely unfavored by fortune. Notwithstanding bad breaks in the eight-- eighth inning he was 4 points ahead of Ben- son. The latter then started out and grad- ually cverhauled Staley, catching him at the forty-eighth point. Benson and Staley then each made one, the former being lucky enough to get the final point first. Benson's high run and average were 56 - and .47. BRIGHTON HANDICAP.

LOUIS SCHOOLS. Strong efforts are being made at Jefferson City to have the Collins bill, providing for a return to the district method of school elections for St. Louis, favorably reportei by the Senate Committee. St. Louis Democrats are preparing ‘to go before the people as the party of reform in St. Louis. They are getting ready to ask the franchises of the citizens as enemies of municipal corruption, and desire to be entrusted with the government of the city, on the understanding that Democratic control ‘will put an end to the long regime of inefficiency and wrong doing. How can the Democrats of St. Louis expect to win the confidence of the people. of St. Louis when the Democrats at Jefferson City are threatening the public schools of St. Louis with a return to a system which was rank with corrup- tion? Will not Democratic effort to impose a_corrupt system on the public schools be taken as the spirit which would ani- mate any Democratic government elected in the city of 5t. Louis? = = * ae The streets of Havana are declared to be cleaner than those of St. Louis, but the quality of Havana moonlight may be inferior to the St. Louis article. — — —_ = ASKING QUESTIONS. It sometimes requires considerable intelligence to ask in- telligent questions. The students of Mary Institute who’ listened to a law lec- ture by a woman lawyer illustrated this little truth. The questions were all intelligent and intelligible; they ehowed that the students had mother wit even though they Were uninstructed in the intricacies of law. Watch the questions asked by man or woman. often the best measure of intelligence. r eoe Mr. Carnegie speaks against gambling as getting some- thing for nothing. He has no objection, however, to getting something for nothing through high-tariff legislation. >> a NOT VERY CONVINCING. The arguments against the franchise tax in Jefferson City last Wednesday were not very convincing. If they are the strongest the opponents of the measure can produce, the bill ought to go through without difficulty. The notion advanced by Mr. Lionberger that every one engaged in business, from a railroad to a dairy owner, pos- They are "sesses a franchise, is fresh, and calculated to excite the curiosity as well as the gayety of the community. But it Were just as reasonable to say that every man possesses a@ franchise to live, since it must be admitted that he lives by the sufferance of the community. It is proposed to tax the franchises of corporations hold- ing monopoly grants from the staitte. The value of these franchises is a monopoly value. Can Mr. Lionberger show that a mercantile or manufacturing corporation doing a competitive business has any such monopoly or franchise? Such corporations are never exempt from competition. But is the St. Louis Transit Co., for instance, in danger of costly rivalry? Who does not know that competition is utterly impracticable in its case? Tax monopoly franchises of public service corporations. ————. —___—_—_ @ @ With the ship subsidy bill still hanging fire, Uncle Mark Hanna is beginning to think that lobsters have been elected to Congress where patriots should have been sent. ee? PROBATIONARY LAW. The proposed probationary law which the Missouri Legis- Idture will be asked to enact is a measure of humanity. The bill as drawn provides for a probationary officer in cities having a population of 100,000 or more, whose duty it shall be to investigate the social environment, past conduct @nd general character of juvenile offenders. Compartments or places of incarceration are provided re- moved from those of other prisoners under arvrect. Should the circumstances of the case justify, the young offender, instead of being sent to the workhouse or the jail or other place of confinement where his criminal propensi- ties may be cultivated, will be put on probation under the eye of the probationary officer. Similar laws in other states have been the means of saving ‘many young persons from penalties out of all proportion t5 their youthful understanding and has no doubt encouraged them to abandun a downward course lightly entered upon It ought to prevail in the Legislature. ; _ = - _— ee What does Mr. Rotkefeller himself think of the possibility AX AND BRAND, As the methods of Mrs. Nation in abolishing evil are “ppreading and being indorsed by some who are engaged in forming public opinion, it may be well to point out to what these methods lead. A New Jersey preacher has gone so ‘ar as to say that the methods have divine sanction. The path opened is indicated by the case of the Fort Scott ~Woman who tried to force a grocer to deliver an order of § goods by threatening him with a hatchet. It is the substi- ' tution of brute force for law and reason. This was the ancient method of barbarism. It survived ‘na the Middle Ages.

The Post-Dispatch has directed public attention to the necessity of securing honest and capable citizens to serve the cjty in the Municipal Assembly. The Municipal Assembly hdlds the key to all reform work; it must do the legislating and if it is not in sympathy with reform or with the plans of citizens to improve St. Louis, of what avaifl will it be to elect a good Mayor and fill all the other offices with good men? Good citizens should realize in this crisis their ob'ization t9 respond to the call to public duty in any capacity. How can. any citizen expect St. Louis to be redeemed if he himself shirks his part in the work of redemption? Willingness to serve when called upon is the test of public spirit. It is the only hope of municipal salvation. Capable and trustworthy men should be nominated and elected from the wards to serve in the House of Delegates. It is especially important that seven first class men be elected to the Council. .The post of councilman is one of the most honorable and useful! offices in the municipality. No man should refuse to serve in the Council when it is clear that his services are needed. If good men refuse nominations to the Council and House, the task of reform is hopeless. The post of honor in the municipal government its the post of service. Good men are needed and no good man ghould evade service. = = rr The whole under part of a Chicago schoolhouse floor was burning before the fire was discovered, yet every pupil was saved.

Miles is as much persona non grata in the White House as he would be if he were an ex-President. Mr. Whitney has just paid $60,000 for a masculine horse instead of investing his money in a number of automobiles. William Caper is not disturbed by reports of a tin-can trust, and the wind will continue to blow through his whisk- ers. Mayor Ziegenhein lives on Thirteenth street and he does not seem to have ever tried to bring the city any good luck. Mr. Rodofsty of Russia, who is 136 years old, has never used tobacco and he therefore, doubtless, attributes his long life to the liquor he has consumed. The “never-failing remedy’ of one ounce of cream tartar dissolved in a pint of water that has been boiled, is appear- ing in parts of the state where there is smallpox. As Count Boni is to have only $200,000 of American money annually until the Wertheir-er suit is decided, there is dan- ger that he may join the pessimists who have avo often pro- claimed marriage a failure. The 6000 Filipinos who have become Methodists will soon learn to speak of the President as Brother McKinley, and perhaps they will be ready to say amen to his benevolent schemes for their elevation. The possibility of backsliders, however, must be considered.

Out in Cherryville, Kan., lives a farmer by the name of A. N. Russell.

Farmer Russell has a grievance. He wants the letter. boxes in the country post- offices furnished free to the people, be- cause, he says, the saving of even $l a year means a great deal to the farmers. “Tariff bills for rich manufacturers,’’ says Farmer Russell, ‘“‘are attended to prompt- ly.

I have not a map by me, and am not certain that Arica is not in Chili, but it can’t make much difference; there was earthquake all along there. Sam Baxter was with us; I think he had gone from San Francisco to make a railway or something. On the morning of the ‘quake Sam and I had gone. down to the beach to bathe. We had shed our shoes and begun to moult, when there was a slight tremor of the earth, as if the elephant who supports it was pushing upwa or lying down and petens up again. Next, the surges, which were flattening themselves upon the sand and dragging away such small trifles as they could lay hold of, be- gan racing out seaward as if they had re- celved a dispatch that somebody was not expected to live. —_— was needless, for we did not ex t to live. When ibs oan had receded entirely out of sight we started after it; for, it will be re- membered, we had come to bathe; and — wanes se a of water is not refreshing in a hot climate. For the frst four or five miles the walking was very difficult, although the grade was to.erably steep. The ground was zoek, there were tangled forests of sea-weed, old rot- ten ships, rusty anchors, human skeletons, and a multitude of things to impede the pe- destrian. The floundering sharks bit our legs as we toiled past them, and we were constant! atipping down upon the flat fish strewn about like orange el on a side- walk. Sam, too, had stuffed his shirt front with such a weight of doubloons from the wreck of an old galleon that I had to help him across all the worst places. It was very a, teen = Presently, omey on the western horizon, I saw the sea coming back. It occurred to me then that I did not wish it to come back. A tidal wave is nearly always wet, and I was now a good way from home, with no means of making a fire. The same was true of’ Sam, but he did not appear to think of it in that way. He stood quite still a moment with his eyes i fixed on the advancing line of water; then turned to me, i | it earnestly: “Tell you what, fi ; I never wanted a ship so bad from the cradle to the grave!

I,would—lI’d give all I’m worth, for—just—one—little—ship!’’ To show how lightly he could part with his wealth he lifted his shirt out of his trousers, unbosoming himself of his doub- loons, which tumbled about his feet, a gold- en storm. By this time the tidal wave was close upon us. Call that a wave! It was one solid green wall of water, higher than Niagara Falls, stretdhing as far as we could see to right and left, without a break in its towering front! It was by no means clear what we ought to do. The mows wall showed no projections by means of. which the most Aaring climber could hope to reach the top. There was no ivy; there were no window ledges. Stay—there was the lightning rod! No, there wasn’t any lightning rod. O course, not!

To the Editor af the Post-Dispatch. May I say a few words to one who signs himself “An Old Bach.” That some women do love men who show their indifference and even unkindness cannot be denied. But they love them in spite of this fact and not because of it. If your sweetheart is a true woman and really loves you, she will love you even though you treat her indifferently, though she will not love you more because you so treat her. You will — nothing, and she will gain a heart- e. You ask what are the things a woman most admires in a man: That depends on the woman. But there are two things which most women do admire and these are manliness and tenderness. pe re Sheepish Man Has No Chance. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch. In answer to “Old Bach” in today’s Post- Dispatch, would enlighten his mind as to woman's love by suggesting to pursue the following course: By all means treat her with indiffer- ence, i. e., to a certain degree. Let her know that you are her master, and if neces- Sary to subdue her, give her a good lash- ing occasionally. This may seem harsh, but to illustrate: Visit our courts of correc- tion and observe what devotion and love is shown to the man who uses force with his better half, and again observe (especially our divorce courts) the female who has everything lavished upon her, the indiffer- ence she shows the man. A woman wauts to look up to the man, and if he is sheep- ish and not domineering, the result is the woman does not care for him. Ret right, old poy. and you will observe that the above will keep you in the lead. - Louis. ANDY MAN. A View From Illinois. To the Editor of the Post-Dispatch.

HE CHARGES A CONSPIRACY HOW HE PITIED AND HELPED MRS. VAN SLINGERLAND. She Took Advantage of His Confiding Innocence, but Her Former Hus- band Promises to Testify That She Is Vicious and Vindictive. &pecial to the Fost-Dispatcb. NEW YORK, Feb. 1.—John R. G. Pitkin, former postmaster of New Orleans, whose alleged authorship of ‘‘Love and Politics” résulted -in his resigning his office today in this city, gave out his first statement of the part he took in writing the book. “In the first place,’’ said the major, “I want to charge that I have been the vic- tim of a conspiracy. I will admit that a part of the teok which I am accused of writing was written by me, but I am not the author of ‘Love and Politics.’ Mfrs. Van Slingeriand, who was later my pécre- tary, sent my manuscript to New’ York There it was taken up by somé person. who padded it outrageously, making re- fiections on men in public lifé and chang- 4ng the story into a noveY of passion. I wrote the small part of/the novel at the request of Mrs. Van Slitgerland. “I first met her in New Orleans 13 years o. I did not meet her again until, 1897 when I found her M Washington.

Mrs. Van Slingerland wrote to me frum Jersey City that she was almost destitute. She begged for work, threatening suicide unless something was done for her. I needed a private secretary, and I a * pointed her. ‘Not until October last did I know that Mrs. Van Slingerland had procured —— belonging to me, and was trying to dispose of them to poiiticians and newspapers. On Oct. 1 she demanded $3000 from me for cer- tain papers of mine which she said she held. I dismissed her at once. Then came the pu lication of the book. I wrote to Wash- ngton that I would resigh my office be- cause of the notoriety into which I had been brought. Then came other charges against me by Mrs. Van Slingerland. Then I insisted that my resignation be accepted. “My next step was to begin: proceedings ss Mrs. Van Slingerland, charging her with attempted blackmail.

I will prosecute Mrs. Van Slingerland to the end. If she is found guilty she will be sentenced to prison.’’ Mrs. ‘Van Slingerland has employed James T. Nix of New Orleans to defend her. Maj.

FREE Administration Will Not Ac- cept Her Constitution. TWO TRUSTS WILL OPPOSE IT AN ABSOLUTE PROTECTORATE WILL BE INSISTED UPON. Cubans Will Not Submit to This and a Possible Armed Revolt Is Said to Be a Possibility of the Near Future. Special to the Post-Disvatch. WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.—Neither Presi- dent McKinley nor thé sugar and tobacco trusts will permit the acceptance of the Cuban constitution as written by the Cu- bans. The trusts named are fighting open- ly and boldly against the constitution, which wowd place their interests subject absolutely to Cuban legislation. The Administration is openly promoting the Adea of a United States protectorate, a Arotectorate that will guarantee to this Aountry: 1. A naval base. 2. Provision for permanent garrisons. 8. The right to control the public debts and credits. 4. The right to pass upon—to approve or repeal—all treaties with foreign powers. No one in Washington, not even the ad- ministration, believes the Cubans will ac- cept this as a fulfillment of the United States’ promise that “the people of Cuba are, and of right ought to be, free and in- dependent,"’ and the gravest complications may follow. That President McKinley is absolutély committed to this policy there is no doubt. With him are such Republican Senaters as Hanna, Platt of Connecticut, Aldrich, Allison, McMillan and Fairbanks. Although it has been announced that the President will send the Cuban constitution to Congress as soon as he receives it the ablest lawyers in the Senate contend that Congress has no power to deal directly with that document because the Supreme, Court in the Neely case specifically declared Cuba & foreign country and that as such it ts privileged to make its own laws. However, the United States obtained free- dom for Cuba, and these Senators contend that this should entitle this country to some special privileges. Congress, they say, can declare when military occupation of the isl- and shall cease and can insist that the necessary guarahteés for the special priv- ileges shall be inserted in the constitution. he program is that Cuba shall be ‘‘ad- monished’’ by resolution or in some similar way that it would be well to make in the fundamental law the four provisions for the United States relating to naval base, garrisons, public debts and foreign treaties. It is not expected that the Cuban pa- triots will submit to this ‘‘admonishment.” Men who are informed of the situation expect that Cuba will issue a bold defiance = that it may be necessary to chastise Army officers and civilians who aré re- turning from Cuba tell of the unrest that prevails there. The masses of Cubans are dissatisfied. They have convinced them- selves that it was not the United States that freed Cuba. but the Cubans. They say the United States came in when the war with Spain was practically over and merely helped. If these Cubans should attack the United States forces the situation would be im- mensely simplified, from an administration viewpoint.

This sale was launched this morning. By 9 o'clock the store was quite comfortably filled. At 10 o’cleck the aisles were almost impassable—the selling swift—the hum and buistle of big business resounded throughout the store. Of course this is unusual for February. But look at the offerings! ! In all your experience you’ve never seen such astounding values in clean, dependable, seasonable merchandise. We started this sale with an object—to make a clean sweep of all winter goods. We'll carry out that plan no matter what the loss. We've slashed prices to the very core. We've cast aside all thoughts of profit—we've closed our eyes to cost and consequences. If you need a new suit, overcoat, shoes, hat or furnishings—the opportunity of the year is now presented.

Heading the Wells delegations are such experienced politicians as Peter Walsh, E. E. Guion, W. J. Flynn, Tom Ward, B. P. Taafe, Phil Dwyer and John Butler. Among the Tinker leaders are George Gunsollis, Dick Mappes, Charles A. Lamp, Tom Halli- han, Thad. Harris and George Robertson. Many of the old-time Brady warriors are found in the Wells column, including Col. P. J. Carmody and “‘Johnny’’ Ryan of the Fourth Ward, Nick Griffin and others. Ex-Mayor E. A. Noonan will make a fight in twenty of the twenty-eight wards. Mr. Noonan, whose friends have claimed that his election would mean a ‘‘wide open town’”’ after the manner of the elder and younger Carter Harrison at Chicago, said to the Post-Dispatch Friday: *“T have no special platform, but if elected shall use every endeavor to, see that the Torid’s Fair is located on city property. Eligible sites are offered in O'Fallon Park, North St. Louis: Carondelet Park, South St. Louis, and Forest Park, in the West End. My idea would be to locate only such buildings as are intended to be permanent in the parks, placing the temporary struc- tures on adjoining property.”’ Harry B. Hawes stated Friday: “Wells will carry a minimum of 18 wards. He is aining strength, and I believe the nom- fation will be made without factional dis- cord. We are all Democrats and will line up the more solidly after the convention by reason of a preliminary tussle among our- selves.”’ The Republican city committee was waited vpon by a comrnittee from the 3st. Louis’ Republican Club at its meeting Thursday night, and promised to consider the proposition for early primaries. The cily committee will meet again next Thurs- day afternoon at 4 o’clock. It was stated after the meeting that the attitude of Mayor Ziegenhein on the World's Fair bond bill had not been discussed. , FRIDAY—€T.
