President Cleveland doesn't play pino-
chile. He himself hath said it. The
newspapers have repeatedly declared that
Grover INDUCED in the game, and Secreta-
nv Bissell has been quoted as saying that
"Grover played pretty stiff game in the
days of long ago, before the imam of des-
tiny had merged from political obscurity
at Buffalo. When Fred J.. Smith was en-
gagged in business in Philadelphia and liv-
ed in New Jersey he became one of the
devotees of pinOchle, which is a popular
diversion in the land of big mosquitoes.
Once upon a time Mr.. Smith drew such
hand as was never dreamt of in the phi
losophy of the oldest pinochler he could
find, and he therefore wrote TO Grover, as
an expert, for his opinion. Here is the re-
ply in the handwriting of the Chief Exec

Seven Persons Killed and as Many More
Injured In q Collision on the Illinois
Central. Near Kankakee.
KANKAKEE, Ill, Oct. 2O.-Another
horrible wreck occurred on the Illinois
Central at Otto Junction, four miles
south of this city, about midnight,
in which, it is reported, seven
persons were killed and about
as many badly injured. The fast
mail, north-bound, crashed into the
Pontiac district freight as the latter
was rounding the ''Y" from the Kan
kakee & Southwestern railroad, pre-
paratory to coming to this city on the
main line of the Illinois Central road.
The location of the wreck is desc
late stretch of prairie by night. There
is nothing at the junction but the rail-
road station, and the night operator
and switchman are all that are usu-
ally there. A relief train carrying
most of the physicians in this city and
a large wrecking crew were dispatched
to the wreck at about 1870 a. m. The
wreck was proba bly, caused by mis-
placed switch. which allowed the fast
train to run on to the wrong track.
The officials of the Central at this
point will not give any information as
to the extent OF the wreck, but are do
ing all in their power to relieve the in
jured and get the road open for travel.
Division Superintendent Harahan is in
charge of the relief and wreckers.

A COWARDLY FLING.

The Story Given Currency in Regard to
tho Duke of Connaught Enectually Set
1t Absolutely without Foundation
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES His Brigade, and
There was No Better In the Command.
LONDON, Oct. 1s.-The apparently
endless argument concerning the Duke
of Connaught and the Egyptian cam
paign has been given fresh impetus by
the Right Hon. Hugh Childers, who
was secretary of state for war in 1855.
1t will be remembered that it was
charged that telegram was sent to
Sir Garnet Wolseley, the commander
of the British forces in Egypt. order
ing him to place the duke of Con-
naught in a place of safety during the
battle of Tel ell Kebar. 1t was also
charged that in compliance with these
instructions the duke, who was on the
right of the line with the guards
brigade. was. with his troops, ordered to
the rear and out of danger.
The story had it's origin in the Man
chester Guardian. Mr.. Childers has
written letter to that paper en-
phatically denying that any instruc-
lions or suggestions were dispatched
to Egypt relative to the duke of Con-
naught. He incloses a letter received
by him from Gen. Wolseley declaring
that the story is absolutely untrue.
Gen. Wolseley adds: Nobody ever
suggested that in any way deal with
his royal highness differently than with
the other officers commanding brigades,
nor did 1 do so. He took his chance
like anyone else, and, as 1 reported to
you at the time, had no better brig
ade under my command. I am glad of
the opportunity of emphatically deny
ing the absurd story, which is as I'M
generous as it is untrue"

A CURIOUS OMISSION,

ca Imperative Upon Certain Govern.
ment Reservations-Secreta Lamont
Has Called Attention to the Fact. and
Source OF Remedy.
mont recently called the attention of
tine house to a curious omission in the
laws 1t seems that according to the
construction given by various United
States courts in the west, there is no
law In force upon government reserva-
lions to punish persons guilty of Of
lenses not specifically named in United
States statutes, or made so by laws
enacted subsequent to the date when
section 1891 went into effect, which was
previous to the admission of Colorado
as state.
The incident which gave rise to the
effort to change the law and demon
strated the necessity therefor, occurred
at Fort Logan. Col, July s, 1890. Three
Chinese laundrymen employed at the
post were taken out at night by a
party of citizens, headed by w. E. Cur
rem, and repeatedly strung up with a
view to extorting a confession of theft
of certain articles belonging to Mrs.
Curran. Curran and his companions
were indicted for melting a riot and
committing an assault, under the
provisions of Section 1891. A
motion to quash the indictment was
sustained by Judge Hallett, who said:
This section was enacted first in 1928
and again in 1886, and it refers to the
laws of states then existing. AS Colo
RADIO was not then a state in the Union,
none of the laws were adopted or put in
force by this act. This section will
never be operative in Colorado to put
in force the laws of the state in respect
to crimes committed on reservations
unless re-enacted."
Representative Cultivate, of Ohio.
from the judiciary committee, has intro
duced bill to remedy this defect.

It seems that there were some people

-Whitelaw Reds idea that the re-

Perhaps Mr.. Whitelaw Reid will next
propose that petition be presented to
congress asking that congress recon-
slider its finding that Mr.. Stevenson
was elected vice president OF the Unit
ed States and proceed to declare that
Mr.. Whitelaw Reid was really the sue
cessful person and therefore must now
preside in the senate. just as effectu-
ally as the election of 1892 disposed of
the ambition of Whitelaw Reid for the
vice presidency it disposed also of the
claim of McKinleyism for further con-
sideration.-Chicago Times
Some of the shallow and ca1low
republican organs throughout the
country keep up the campaign pretense
that the business depression is due to
the result of the last election. Are not
tariff and other taxes just as high az
the republicans left them? Is not the
treasury still suffering from the repub-
lican deficiency? Is not the gold re-
serve just about as Calico Charlie"
left it? Are not the compulsory silver
purchases still going ON under law
passed by exclusively republican votes
and signed by a republican president?
What has changed except the incum-
bency of the higher offices and the pur-
pose of the government in relation to
the wrongs and the evils which the
people condemned? Too many par
