Secretary Foster Thinks II Full Of thu
Usual Platitudes.

Usual Platitudes.
Secretary Foster Of the Treasury Depar tment
says that he does not see much in the Cleveland
letter of acceptance.
The letter, he said to STAR reporter, sis
full OF the usual Cleveland platitudes, and there
is nothing new in it. He does not depart from
the position Of his party on the tariff. He begs
the question a little, bat, on the whole, he
stands by the declarations of his party. There
are good many things in the letter which it
Will require a very superior order Of UNDER
standing to comprehend. What he ssys about
the currency is greatly involved, but if you
can get anything out of it, it is an Endorsement
of the state banks if they are made good enough.
He appears to be in favor of state
banks If they are good ones
He skins over the force bilr and does not say as
much about it as l thought he would. He
talks very adroitly about pensions, but there is
nothing he can say on that subject which will
not be considered in connection with bis record
on that question. In one place he condemns
rauper and contract immigration and in an
other he speaks in favor Of immigration. He
does not seem to want to say any more than he
has to-
GEN. RATHBoNEs VIEWS.
Assistant Postmaster General z. G.. Rathbone
said: ''It strikes me that Mr.. Cleveland has
made studied effort to avoid saying anything
or to make what he says intelligible. He has
not the literary ability nor the material for
such letter as that Of Mr.. Harrison. He does
not depart materially from the platform Of his
party. He tries to put their declarations in a
less objectionable form, but it all amounts to
the same thing. His reference to the pension
question is very adroit"
Speaking of the general political situation
Mr. Rathbone said that he had been In New
York and Ohio and that he found tina. the re-
publicans were generally confident, but felt
that they must work hard. 1.-The most re-
markable thing, he said. lis the dense silence
observed by nearly every one. 1 never knew
OF anything like it before. Sometimes think
1t ominous. You know that when the Indian
scout reported that he saw no signs and heard
no sound Of Indians his chief said that he
guessed that was sign that there we're Indians
about"
kA-REPRESENTATIvE KING is ENTHUSIASTIC.
Ex-Representative King Of Louisiana said to
a STAR reporter today: II regard Cleveland's
letter as the finest document Of the sort ever
read. 1t has lifted me up to higher plane in
politics. great deal Of rubbish is swept away
by the letter and it deals with the purest prin-
ciples OF government. Every sentence hits the
mark. 1t is an extraordinary letter.

Col. W. P. Canaday, ,ex-sergeant-at-arms Of

The circumstances surrounding the awful

Last night Col Canaday seemed to be in his
normally healthy condition. early this morning
he was apparently the victim of trio of bur

door locked and the worrying world outside.
An effort to accomplish something had failed,
and failure meant ridicule, prosecution, punish

COL. cANADAY's OFFICE.

At about 5:15 a. m. Charles H. Stevenson,
whose bed room Ia on the rear end Of the sec
ond floor of ia 10th street northwest. was
awakened by cries of "Hey! Heyr" and by a
pounding noise on the woodwork. Mr.. Stevenson
has only been an occupant of the house for a
few nights. SO he could not easily locate the
noise. At first he imagined it came from some
drunken man in the alley; then he thought the
cries were uttered by some sick person within
the house.
The sounds continuing. Mr. Stevenson raised
a window and called out: "What do you want?''
To this o voice replied, "Come down" "where
are you?" was the next inquiry. Are you down
stairs?" "Yes," said the voice. "Are you in
the room below?" asked Mr.. Stevenson. "Yes, "
was the reply.
COME IN AND CUT ME DOWN.
Thereupon Mr.. Stevenson put on few addi-
tional garments, went down stairs and opened
the door Of an Office rented by Capt. Hough-
ton, who had some partnerships relations with
Col. Canaday. There was not much light in the
room-it was too early-but Mr.. Stevenson
managed to distinguish the outlines Of some
body standing near the window.
Mr.. Stevenson hesitated; he was cautious.
"What do you want?" he asked. "Come here, !"
said the spectral figure, for 1t was garbed in
white. That was not q satisfactory response,
SO Mr.. Stevenson repeated his query. with .
little emphasis added. Then Col. Canaday, for
Mr.. Stevenson at once became possessed Of
the idea that the tied-up man attempted to COM
init suicide, but had repented in time. He on
tered the room and found the colonel In his
night shirt apparently tied to the knob and
hinge Of n closet door. The bonds were Of
string and could easily have been broken by
q healthy boy. Across the colonel's mouth and
tied behind his head was q strip Of lin ,n which,
1t was afterward sen. had been cut from the
lower II ont portion Of the night shirt.
Mr.. Stevenson says the string was around the
colonel's ankles. elbows, wrists. thumbs. and,
loosely, the neck An erasing knife severed the
twine speedily and il did not take
long to unite me alleged gag. While
the releasing operation was going on
