WHAT Is 1T?
Vague Rumors Of a Coming Political
Sensation.

The air is full Of vague rumors this after
noon OF some surprisingly clever political moves
to be made, or some startling information to
be divulged. Just what is at the bottom of it
no one seems able to say, nor to give any sub
stantial reason for the reports.
The Cabinet had long session to-day. and it
is presumed that the fisheries and other i'm
Portant matters were discussed. Reports that
the President contemplates issuing proclama-
ton enforcing the retaliation act of 1887 with
out waiting for further provocation from
Canada, is not credited. though it is more than
probable that any provocation would call for
prompt action.
1t is reported that there is to be a sensa-
tional statement made public by democrats,
questioning the loyalty Of the republican candi-
date for Vice-President.

FURTHER SPECULATION AS TO THE AUTHOR OF THE
LETTER TO LORD sACKvuLE.
The Chicago Tribune yesterday printed long
circumstantial dispatch about the Sackville
letter from Los Angeles. 1t says that the trap
was LAID BY group of Pomona republicans
early In September. They wrote decoy letters
to Sir Charles Upper, Sir Henry NJ. Smith,
Arthur Balfour, Joseph Chamberlain,
and Lord Sackville, and to three promi.
nent prohibitionist clergymen. All the
prohibitionists bit eagerly, writing that
the best way to help the cause Of pre-
nipiuon was to defeat the republican party.
But Lord Sackville was the only Engiishman
who took the bait. The man to whom was as
mgned the Sackville letter was O ranchman
living on the outskirts of Pomona. The minis
ters reply was kept back until the letters from
the prohibitionists came, when it was deposited
In the office Of Turner Bell, republican law
yers OF Pomona. Bell turned it over to W. F.
Fitzgerald, of the California state republican
committee, who was to send it to Chairman
quay, but the editor Of the Los Angeles Times
got copy and published it prematurely.
;, A dispatch from Pottsville, Pa, attributes
sne authorship of the letter of inquiry to
samuel A. Garrett, who formerly lived in that
city, but who moved to Los Angeles, and subse-
quently to Pomona, early this year. His
prother u supposed to be editor Of Los An

oerstood to be conhdentially employed by

managers of the Garfield Hospital on account
of the complaint referred to recently in The

when he (witness) threw the brick, but
1t missed, and that when Parker was advanc-
ing on him he struck him with q brick. He
threw 1t believing that he was in danger Of his

How Hawthorne was Forced into Fame.

How Hawthorne was Forced into Fame.
From the st. Louis Globe Democrat
Good ont of evil found pretty illustration
in the case Of Hawthorne's removal from once.
He was crushed by the blow, and staggered 10
his humble home full Of bitter disappoint-
IN mt. No one knew him then - one Of the
greatest-yes, the worlds grestest-men of
genius. His wife quietly left the room, says
Conway, then came back with an armful Of
wood, kindled cheerful fire, drew his chair
up to the desk. brought papers, pens, and ink,
and then, turning 10 him with beaming face,
said: ''Now you can write your book" The
result was ss1he Scarlet Letter, and such fame
as no novelist In America, before or since, has
attained Il was al due 10 his noble wife. Had
she repined and added 10 this burden the
world would never have known Hawthorna.
