vices state that Senator Hawley, of Con,
necticut, has been offered the war o61ce;
to succeed Secretary Proctor. General
Hawley is at Cape May eonferring with
President Harrison about the matter.
Friends of the senator who are familiar
with Connecticut politics, and who know
his chances for denomination, as against
Governor Bulkey, and reelection to the
United States senate for the term begin
ming in 1893, think it very probable that
he will accept the offer and be the next
secretary Of war.
Hawley Hasn't HesrdIt.
NEW HAVEN, Sept. IA United Press
representative called on Senator Hawley
with view to ascertaining what truth
there was in the rumor that he had been
consulting with President Harrison rela-
tive to succeeding Secretary Of War
Proctor. The senator declared that
there was absolutely no truth in the
report. II have not seen Preddent Har-
rison, he added, ''since last May, and he
has not sent for me. The matter re-
ferred to never entered my mind and
do not know that any Of my friends have
asked the place for me.

TACOMA (Wash.), Sept. 15.-Interest in
| the Austin Albertson case continues un-
| abated. The courtroom was again crowded
| to suffocation to-day.
j. p. Kochbersperger, for the prosecu-
ton, testified that as the special agent
employed to adjust the claims and losses
| arising in the business of the Fidelity
| and Casualty Company, he had been dis
patched to Tacoma armed with copy of
a letter written to his company by E.
AIbertson. dated August 22d.
In the letter Albertson says: 'sThere
is a dispute over $4,000 which this COM
pany has. They viii try to recover SiO.-
900 of it under the bond which YOU issued
to them guaranteeing my fidelity, ETC. TO
give you money, and at the same time
| lessen the chances of my being prose

and renewal, 50 all you viii have to do is

get out of this You know what to do. [

| attorney-at-law, Seattle, Wash, per
sonal) and advise him Of your action on
| the within. He may be able TO advise
| you in the matter. Whatever you write
him will be strictly CONFIDENTIAL
On arriving here and learning of the
nature ofth agreements which President
Wallace had been forced to make, he at
Gnce judged that they had been drawn UP
| by a lawyer. He therefore wrote long
letter 20 X. b. AIbertson, in which he
| reviewed the case and asked him to come
| to Tacoma. Albertson came to Koch
kersperger's room in the Tacoma Hotel,
but stated positively that he had nothing
| whatever to do with the case. He had
not seen his cousin for year.
| r. b. Albertson was the first witness
| for the defense. He said he was a first
cousin of E. Albertson, but had not seen
him for months. Chandler got him TO
draw up an agreement-signed by bank
officials in blank, saying that it was for a
mutual friend. He never dreamed that
| it was his cousin Albertson. The Friday
after the flight of the robbers Chandler
| came 10 his office with letter for Mrs.
| Albertson. He told him to mail it. He
had not seen either of the men since that
| day, and did not know where they were.

LONDON, Sept. 15.-The Times takes Il
skeptical view of the Sigri rumors and
declares it ''misdoubtful'' policy which
made all arrangements upon basis
which would have been abandoned in a
crisis. In a great struggle" says the
Times, lit would be our policy to close
the Suez Canal and make our route to
India by the Cape of Good Hope''
1t is now stated that the Mitylene scare
has arisen from the fact that party OF
British naval officers on Saturday last
picnicked on the desert islet off Cape
Sigri and that they re-embarked the
same evening on board their vessel and
sailed away on Sunday
While it is now admitted that the
British force has not seized the Island of
Mitylene, news to the effect that the
island had been occupied was received
from Mitylene and elsewhere by various
Embassies at Constantinople and other
capitals
The new Turkish Minister of the In
terror telegraphed to the British Eln-
bassador at Constantinople, Sir William
White, asking the latter to explain the
reports of the landing of British forces
on Turkish territory. Sir William in
reply said he was entirely ignorant of the
whole affair, but it was probable that the
crews of some of the British war ships
might have landed at the Island of Nifty
lene in the course of regular boat drills
and landing exercises. The British En-
bassador assured the Turkish Minister
that no Notifications had been con-
structed on the island by British troops.
This view of the case was confirmed by
dispatches received during the night,
which stated that a force had landed from
the British war ships and had re-em-
