VermIlye made an explicit denial of the
truth OF these allegations, and it was gener-

Report that He Is Insane and an Inmate of
the Hospital at WhippIe Barracks.
WASHINGTON, Oct 27.-The army surgeon
on duty at Whipple barracks, Arizona, has
reported to the War Department that Lieu
tenant John F. Simpson, Third cavalry, is
in the hospital at that post and is considered
to be insane He has not yet been examined
by medical board, and no action has been
taken by the War Department. Lieutenant
Simpson is the officer who a short time
ago. was court-martialed for marrying his
mistress, and was sentenced to dismissal by
the court, but the sentence was dsapproved
by the President. Lieutenant Simpson has
recently published a card in a newspaper de-
Tending the character of his wife and ex
planning his own actions, and stating that ne
had resigned from the army. In view of his
reported condition, however, grave doubts
are entertained as to his responsibility IN
making the statements. His resignation has
not been received at the War Department.
1t appears that his first wife had been dead
but short time when the second marriage,
whichwas the cause of the court-martial, was
contracted. If he is finally adjudged to be
insane the authorities will take steps at once
to have him properly cared for.

Gently the Postmaster-geueral has issued an
other order to'the postmaster at New Orleans
instructing him not to deliver registered let
ters or pay money orders to that bank. The
effect of this last order is to suspend bust
ness of every description through registered
letters and money orders to that bank, There
is no discrimination as to the kind OF busi-
ness, whether it is a merchants draft for
collection, mortgage to secure loan, or
any other of the multitudinous documents
ndpaper passing into or through the bank
in the thousand and one of its commercial
transactions. 1t destroys the right OF use
by the bank of the United States mail,
and arrests the business of its customers and
patrons passing through it, however inno-
cent and meritorous their business may be.
Whether the power which the Postmaster
general has exercised as to the lottery COM
pany is legal or not, it seems to me entirely
unwarranted ana impolitic as to the bank. ="

THE RosECRANs INTERVIEW.

NatiO

The Reporter Maintains that the General
Was Correctly Reported.
National Republican.
General Rosecrans is very unfortunate in
the selection as his main point of attack the
stat ement attributed to him concerning
General Wood. Many gentlemen have heard
him criticise General Wood harshly, and
when he addresses himself to that subject
he usually takes the bride from his tongue.
His dislike of General Wood is notorious
To the reporter who interviewed him he
said in addition to the ugly things already
given, that Tom Wood is now drawing
pay from the government as retired army
officer that he is not entitled to. In Justice
he should have been dismissed from the
army"
General Wood was in Cincinnati when
General Rosecrans's offensive remarks about
him were published, and it is reasonable to
suppose that he made it very unpleasant for
bis old commander about that time. The
manly thing for the old commander
to have done under the circumstances,
if he found that he had done
General Wood an injustice, would have been
to apologize and retract. He might then, on
reflection, conclude that,he had done Mr.
Stanton and General Garfield injustice also,
ana continue MS apology IN serial IOrm
Neither of these gentlemen was in Cincinnati
to make this suggestion, however, and it did
not occur to him to deny what was said
about them. "Old Rosey' is more consid-
crate of the living than Of the dead.
Probably not less than fifty men have
heard General Rosecrans talk precisely as he
is reported in the interview. To his friends
he denounces General Wood in unmeasured
terms, frequently using language infinitely
harsher than he employed in his converse
tion with the National Republican reporter.
That he should now go back on what he has
uttered times without number greatly puzzles
his friends in Washington, and they await
his explanation with no little anxiety.

Suicide of a Bankers Daughter.

was probably mental alteration. The vic
tim was Mabel Stone, aged seventeen the
adopted daughter of Joseph Stone retired
banker and broker and pupil in the high
school. While in the presence of the house
keeper she began to behave in very strange
manner The housekeeper discovered that
she had a revolver in her hand After
struggle the former succeeded in getting pos
session of the weapon. She then went for
assistance. While gone the girl rushed up
stairs, and went into a closet, followed by the
seamstress. In the closet was another re-
volver, which Mabel secured. The seam
stress seized her and made an effort to get
the pistol, but as Mabel was the stronger the
seamstress ran for help. Mabel threw her
self on the bed and shot herself dead

that she was the possessor of head of hair
rare in color, length and thickness that
while having it treated in Mrs. Glashan's
office it was so entangled that the defendant
was unable to straighten it out; that while
pretending to do so the doctor removed half
of it with the shears, and afterward bathed
it with preparation which turned her scalp
black, and that the plaintiff has since been
unable to disentangle the remainder, and
has been compelled to cut it all off close to
the head. She lays damages at $4,000.

MY views on the subject of gambling,
whether it be lottery, produce, stocks, or
any other kind of gambling, are quite radi-
al, and think they all ought to be suppressed
by law. do not think that lottery gam
bling is as mischievous as stock or produce
gambling, because the latter disturb and de-
moralizes the whole busin ess of the country;
but it is n OF useful, and l sympathize with
the prevalent sentiment against it. So far
as the government may rightly legislate
against it, action by it would come into that
line of policy of hostile legislation, which I
should approve"
But the rightfulness of an object does not
purge the wrongfulness OF every means to
accomplish it."

CHICAGO, Oct 27.-"What made December
wheat jump from 932Sc to 9534c this after
noonT' everybody is asking tonight and a
half dozen different answers are given.
Likely as not half dozen different causes
were at work. The purchases for the account
of Matthews, "the Cincinnati boy phenome-
non" made wheat strong last night on the
call and advanced it on the curb 1292sc. The
figures opened a little firm and triHe
higher this morning. and a little advance
took place. The December option got up to
d. and at this point there seemed to be lots
of wheat for sale At noon the figures were
little higher still, but there existed no spe-
cial excitement. AT about 1870, within half
an hour of the close, two big houses, George
c. Walker & Co. and Poole Kent & Co., sent
brokers into the pit and began to buy wheat,
especially the January option, furiously. The
figures advanced in twinkling
December went from Ole to 9419c, and yet
bids were made for 100000 bushel lots. 1t
advanced to 95c, but the buying continued.
At o'clock, when the regular trading hour
closed, the quotation for December was $3.50:
within the next ten minutes it was sold up
to 954c, and at night on the curb, $3.50 was
the figure.
Corn advanced nearly q cent a bushel
principally because of the bullishn ess about
the wheat pit. The demand from shippers,
however, was better than it has been for
some days. The advance in corn was like
that in wheat--all secured in q very few
minutes. October corn closed at 464c, No
vember at 47s6c, and May at 1870. AL
though the temper in the corn crowd was
excited, there was not nearly the trading
done in its pit that was transacted in wheat.
Provisions were affected just as corn was
by the excitement in the wheat pit Pork
advanced 10c per barrel, and lard and ribs
1X@l0c per 100 lbs. The advance was made,
too, in the face of a decline in live hogs at
the yards of 10@l5c. There was nothing in
teresting in the situation. October pork
closed at $1030 November at $1032%, and
January at $10.95; October ribs at $3.50 No
yember at So. 82H, and January at $557H
October lard at $7.20, and November al
$722H.
Oats were re higher.

The first scene is at Urfurt in 1906, where
a number of students friends OF Luther,
make the audience acquainted with the hero.
There enters Luthers intimate friend, Linck,
who informs them that Luther, panied by,
conscientious scruples, has entered an Aus
gustine monastery. The second scene, first
division, represents Luther in his cell, his
struggle to break with the past and his final
conviction of the righteousness of his work,
The second division or act leads the audience
of Wittemberg before the door of the Schloss-
kirche where Luther nails his celebrated
thesis, marking the commencement OF the

Mrs. Lockwood Makes Things Warm.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 27.-Belva Lockwood,
the female lawyer who has been suspended
by Secretary Teller for alleged Irregularities
in pension cases, was at the department this
morning. She made it warm for Mr.. Teller,
who told her kindly, but firmly, that he
could not discuss the matter with her, but
she could apply for hearing, prepare her
evidence to disprove the charges, and be
heard in the regular way. This did not suit
her, and she left in high dudgeon sayingshe
would pillory the Secretary through the
press. She was furious, but the Secretary
withstood the fusilade with the GOODNESS of a
veteran. She thought better of the matter
later in the day and returned and filed the
application in due form. She is charged with
assessing one pensiOner about $500 for OBJ
tanning his arrears. Another she seems to
have bled to about one-third that amount,
and another but $51. She claims that, in at
least two of the cases, the apparent over
charge was for fees in other matters. She
declared when first at the department this
morning that she did not care to be restored
that she did not want the department prac-
tice, anyway, but only to vindicate her char
acter through the press. The suspended
swindlers are laying the blame for all their
troubles to the press They say that the cor
respondents are down on them, and have
taken a mean advantage of them to ruin
their business.
n. w. Fitzgerald, referring to his suspen-
sios-from the Pension Office, says: ITO every
Cnarge preferred against me, either IN the
morning press or in Commissioner Dudley's
letter. which imputes to me wrongful or
fraudulent action with intent either to vio-
late the pension laws or to wrong one of my
clients give emphatic denial"
