licemen Hartley and Duvall made three
rests. Their prisoners are young colored
men and the officers are holding them to
await developments. They were found
about o'clock this morning on the dump
near the lexington station. Two of them
were sleeping beside a bright fire and the
third one was apparently on watch. When
they reached the police station the officers
took from them a large pocket knife and
putty knife, be;ides some keys. a tape line
and some small articles. The prisoners
gave their names as Charles Brown, alias
Lane. Richard Brown. alias George Carter,
and James Brown.
They claimed that they were out there
waiting for train to beat their way to
Baltimore, intending to go down the bay on
an oyster boat.
Blood stains on the putty knife aroused
the suspicious of the officers and the men
will be held until something further can be
learned of them.

MEXICAN REVOLUTIONISTS.
Bands Snid to Assemble I'm Texas to
Cross the Rio Grande.

Despite professions to the contrary the
Mexican government is expressing serious
concern over the new revolutionary move
ment inaugurated in Texas, and within the
past few days two dispatches from his
government have been presented to the
State Department by Minister Romero, re-
porting the formation of hostile bands on
the American side of the Rio Grande os-
tensibly with the intention of crossing into
Mexico. The story of operations looking to
the capture of the alleged revolutionists is
told in dispatches received and sent by the
War Department. Late Saturday after
noon, the Mexican minister. acting under
advices from his government. informed the
State Department that twenty-five supposed
revolutionists were assembled on the Texas
side of the Rio Grande 1r San Elizario
and intended to cross in - Mexico. Adju-
tant General Riggles Immediately telegraph
ed B-igadier General Wheaton at San
Antonio, commanding the Department Of
Texas directing him TO send troops to the
place where the twenty-five men were sup
posed to be congregated and to prevent
them from crossing to Mexican soil in vio-
lation of the neutrality laws. Saturday
night Gen Wheaton replied that he had
sent one company of infantry in wagons
and a battalion of thirty cavalrymen from
Fort Bliss at FL Paso, under Mai. Henton
of the twenty-,hird infantry. Yesterday
another dispatch from Gen. Whea ton re-
ported the arrival of the troops al San Eli
zario. They had covered the thirty or forty
miles to San EliZario in a short time, the
cavalry arriving there at > o'clock Sunday
morning and the infantry before daybreak
The troops secured the country thoroughly
such band as that reported by the Mexican
government.

WENT TO buy CLOTHES.
This is the Latest Explanation of That
New York Trip.

The real object of the Presidents recent
mysterious visit to New York has not yet
been divulged to the entire satisfaction of
the gossips. The latest bit of Information
on the subject was given to Star reporter
by a gentleman who claimed to know what
he was talking about and who was led to
betray the secret by his Indignation at the
sensational theories that had received cur
rency in the newspapers. According to him
the President merely went to New York
to get some clothes
Instead of having his tailor come to
Washington to take his measure" ne add
ed ''the President went to him in New
York for that purpose
He said further that the tailor's establish
ment was on Fifth avenue and that the
President had dealt there for some time.
This theory is subject to various comments.
One is that the President apparently does
not think he can get fit" in Washing
ton and another Is that he thinks his meas
urem-nts have changed since he was last
subjected TO the tape. The last theory,
even II true. would not explain the Presi-
dents trip, for the simple reason that there
Is probably not tailor in the country that
would not regard ii as the highest honor to
be summoned to Washington with his sam
pies and tools of trade in order to cater to
the wants of the chief executive in the
matter of wearing apparel. Like all other
stories concerning the present head of the
nation 1t is neither affirmed nor denied
at the White House." and therefore Is given
Tor what it Is worth and nothing more.

that position SO acceptably for several
years. will at that date turn it over to
Gen. Joseph r. Doe of GAINESVILLE. Wis.
Gen. Grants resignation, rendered at the
beginning of the present administrat tiol,
has recently been accepted. to take effect
on the date named, and Gen. Doe has &C
cepted Secretary Lamonts invitation to
assist him in the administration of the
affairs of the military establishment Gen
Grants retention in office for eight months
under a democratic adminiStra ton and IN
the face of hitter political attacks shows
the great esteem in which he is held by
the Secretary He has made many friends
in Washington by his many admirable
qualities, and he has proved a mos capa-
bic and efficient official in every resnect
lie was kind and consderate to the news
paper men who had business with the de-
partment, and they will always have Il
warm spot in their heart for him. He de-
sired long ago to return to his home an
Minnesota to take up the threads of his
private business, and his stay here in the
society of his political opponents has been
prolonged as an accommodation to Secre-
tary Lamont, who has had some difficulty
in finding suitable man to take his place.
Gen. Doe Is said to fill the bill admira-
bly,. He is a young man of the legal pro-
fession, with a thorough knowledge of mil
itary affairs, gained mostly through his eX-
perence with the National Guard of the
state of Wisconsin with which he is ut
present identified as adiutant general. His
friends speak of him as having not only
hign legal attainments, but fine executive
ability, and predict that he will ad-
mirably fill the place to which he has been
called. The appointment will probably not
be made until Congress meets.

Tenleytown and vicinity was also visited
early Sunday morning. and there Jack the
slasher'' repeated some of his destructive
work. This section. as heretofore stated
was the scene of the vandars first opera
tions. He appeared several times during
ten or fifteen days, slashed coats. umbrel-
las and other articles and then left for other
sections Yesterday morning he appeared
at the house Of Mrs. Keith. corner of Wood
ley lane and the Tenleytown road. There
he did not have much trouble in getting in
for there was no fastening on the kitchen
window. The window was raised and then
the vandal opened the door as a precaution-
ary measure, as he thought haSty exit
might become necessary Mrs keith was
confined to her bed because of sickness, and
at was about midnight when all the occu-
pants of the house had retired. Phoebe
Murray, one of the colored domestics in the
house, was about the last one to retire. She
was asleep In her room on an upper floor
when the visitors reached the house. Her
apartment was first visited and IL is thought
that she was chrorofOrmed. The bureau
drawers were quietly removed, but in order
to do this the men had to almost touch the
bed in which the woman was Soundly sleep
ing. In these drawers Phoebe had all her
good clothes and they were taken to the
yard below and slashed in such a manner
that needles and thread cannot repair the
damage. But elderly colored woman in
an adjoining room was also visited and
some of her clothing removed and left in
the pile of rags in the yard.
There was a hight in that portion of the
house occupied by the family, and this
was perhaps the reason why the latter
part of the premises did not suffer. In the
hall of the mouse Jack found two large
chrysanthemum plants. and these he treat
ed the same as he did Aunt Phoebes
wearing apparel He was kind enough,
however. to leave the flowers with stems
long enough to admit of their use for
decorative purposes
When Aunt Phoebe got up in the morn
ing and. discovered that her finery was
gone her heart was broken, and had
Jack" appeared about the kitchen just
then she would undoubtedly have
followed his example and cut flesh as we'll
as wool.
Jack was not satisfied with one visit
to the county. but he stopped at the house
of Mr.. Henry Vogt on Wisconsin avenue
but before he had chance TO do any
slashing he was frightened Off

EN-SECRETARY RUsK BETTER.
Constantly in Pain. but His Condition
Improved This Morning.

NIROQUA, Wis, Nov. 20.-Gen Rusk
rested well last night and appeared to be
somewhat improved in his general condition
today. The disease with which MIR. Rusk is
suffering is of long standing. While gov
ernor he was at one time taken with this
same difficulty. The physicians then pro-
nounced the disease an affection of the
stomach.
DR.. Hamilton of Chicago made dag
nosis during the late national encampment
at Indianapolis. He declared it to be in
hammation of the prostate gland This in
hammation has since caused the abscess,
which involves the entire gland. The
drainage tube causes considerable pain at
all times. and when it comes out. as it does
occasionally, chloroform has to be admins
tered to Gen. Rusk in order to replace it.
The chloroform keeps him weak.
A private telegram was received in this
city today from Mr.. Henry Casson, private
secretary to ex-Secretary Rusk. to the ef-
feet that there has been decided improve
ment in Gen. Rusk's condition, and that
the physician in attendance is now conf
dent of his recovery. Under the circum-
stances the Information is regarded as au-
thentic, and is of most satisfactory char
acter to the generals friends here.
