PREPARING THE MESSAGE.
What tho President win Have to Say
to Congress.

WAsHINGros, d. g., Oct. Is. Tho
president will devote his afternoons for
the present to the preparation Of his
annual message, rigidly excluding in.
tcrrupting callers. His message is to be
a general one, covering all executive de-
partments, beside his own recommends
tions. Southern men who have talked
with him are quoted as saying that those
recommendations will not include q new
federal election law. He IL said to be-
licve that this would be futile, if passed,
and an attempt to pass 1t simply waste
of time. His remedy for the alleged
disfranchisement of blacks would be the
unsenting of representatives in congress
elected ~ such means. He will, II is
stated. recommend the repeal of internal
revenue taxes on everything except in
toxicating liquors and the enactment of
some measure like the senate tariff bill.
Civil service reform Is to be squarely
commended. and larger appropriations
for the commission recommended.
Steamship subsidies are to be suggested
and liberal pension appropriation
asked. The secretary of state, who will,
as usual, write the foreign relations part
Of the message, will enlarge upon the
pan-American congress. The needs Of
the navy will be strongly represented.
Mr.. Wanamaker will submit his sugges-
tions about Improvements In the
postal service, which have already been
exploited.

now reunited with the little woman who
came all the way from Kansas to search
him out, and who has so bravcly encoun
tered score or more OF disheartening
obstacles. The story of these difficulties
has been fully told in the REVIEW, and
has aroused general spirit of sympathy
among all classes. 'One touch OF pity

Mr.. Corbett came to this city Monday,
all fustered with excitement and antici-
patton, and went direct to the home OF
Mrs. Blalock, on tho North side, lady
who has taken a kind-hearted interest
in the young wiie's trials, and helped
her both in u sympathetic and material
way.
When he reached there he found a
temporary disappointment in the news
that his wife had just departed for
Sprague, whittier she had gone to con-
tinue her disheartening search. He
hastened to the telegraph office and sent
Mrs. Corbett telegram informing her oi
his presence in Spokane Falls, and that

EARL GALLOwAY's ACoUIrrAL.
Tho Verdict Received with Cries of
''sha met Shamei"

LONDON, Oct. l4.--The scene in the
courtroom at Dumphries to-day when
the jury in the case of the earl of Gal
loway, charged with indecent behavior
toward girls of tender years, brought in
their verdict of acquittal, was one rarely
witnessed in n criminal courtroom in
this country The guilt of the accused
seemed so clearly established, even by
his own evidence as II was allowed to
filter through the objections of the six
eminent counsel for the defense; that
those present In tho courtroom, most of
whom were friends and relatives of the
little girls whom the aged noble was
charged with abusing, took no pains to
conceal their disgust with the verdict.
The announcement of the verdict was
u signal for loud expressions of
disapproval from the benches where
the spectators were seated and
the frowns and threats of the presiding
judge were OF no avail to suppress the
cries OF shame, shame" uttered by the
dozens OF indignant persons. In London
the news of the verdict was received with
great indignation among the common
people, and 1t is pointed out that, had
the accused been anything but great
nobleman, the evidence brought out
would have boen sufficient to convict
him II dozen OF times over.
The mnriuis oi Salisbury, who has
manifested great interest In the case
ever since the charges were first brought,
hurried to Loitlon this evening so as to
receive the fullest news of the result of
tho trial. When informed that Galloway
had been acquitted he received the news
with every evidence OF satisfaction. The
car's hest friends scarcely hoped for
more than q Scotch verdict of mot

A HUNGRY HORDE.
Ohicc Seekers Swarm Around the
Postotiice Department.

Postotice Department.
WAsHrNoroS, Oct. 15.--The return of
First Assistant Postmaster General
Clark.on to the city brought out host
of office seekers, who gathered at the
postoflice department rs they did in the
early days OF the administration. There
were those who wanted office and 9th
ers who wanted office for their friends.
The crowd that gathered arotyid Mr..
Clarkson's s door waited pationtlyall day,
but that gentleman did not put in an
appearance until lGtc aud then refused
to see but few visitors. The anxiety
to see General Clarkson finds partial
explanation in the fact that he is arbiter
of the fate of some 5000 postmastcrs
scattered throughout this country.
As the commanding officer of this grcnt
army, he has been making changes in the
personnel ever since the 4th of March,
and large number of patriots through
out the country make special trips to
Washington to assist him in the work
Occasionally postmaster resigns, few
die, and great many, at the earnest re-
quest of q portion of their neighbors and
with the assistance of General Clarkson,
since tho 4th of March some 10000
changes have been made in the fourth
class offices. Probably not quite half of
the entire number OF the fourth.class
postmastcrs have as yet been officially
decapituted. General Clarkson has lively
winters work before him, and he finds
that it is work that never ends. Each
year adds some 1900 new offices to the
number. IL is not expected that a
change will bc made in every postofficc,
as there are number of offices where
the salary is so small that il is rather a
favor to the department If any one con-
sents to take 1t. In these cases the officer
makes fourth-class office rather not
able position under this government.
