THK president has fallen into a bac
habit-that Of trying to say too much or
diversity of subjects. His message
contains over 1900 words, the longest
he has ever written, and while some OF
it which deals with routine department.
al business may appear dull and prosy
to the average reader, the document will
bear the closest perusal, which it would
have much more surely gotten had
about five columns been Topped off OF it..
The paper begins by detailed report OF
our relations with foreign countries in
general and Hawaii in particular, though
it is not as explicit in detail with regard
to the latter as was expected. Ho.ev.

done that weak sister by the Harrison
administration, which in all justice
ought to be righted. The country is
congratulated on the repeal OF the Sher
man law and temporary expedients in
financial matters advised against. The
earnestness with which he denonnces
pension frauds shows that the president
is not to be scared from his position by
the bark OF the ours, who failed to serve
the country in war and are doing their
best to bankrupt it in peace. Says the
president: every name fraudulently |
put upon these rolls is wicked impo
sition upon the kindly sentiment in
which pensions have their origin; every
fraudulent pensioner has become bad
citizen, every false oath in support of a
pension has made perjury more COM

sioners rob the people not only of their
money, but of the patriotic sentiment
which the survivors Of the war, fought
for the preservation of the Union, ought
to inspire" Ifthese words be treason,

IT seems that the president is deter
mined to have Hornblower on the
supreme bench. He has renominated
his man, whose confirmation was hung
up by the Senate during the extra ses-

not be SO ready to tie up nominations
for spite in the future.

ARRIVAL OF WEEKS.
The New York Embezzler Landed at
New Orleans,
END OF A MANY MONTHS CONTEST.
He Will Plead Guilty When Ar
raigned
AND WILL ASK FOR MERCY

NEW ORLEANS Nov lit was O. clock
this morning when the steamer Foxhall
reached her wharf. having on board the
New York embezzler, Francis H. Weeks,
whose defalcation, flight and battle against
extradition have so excited public interest
Tor the past few weeks. Her arrival had
been expected all day. and even at that
hour there were many people at the wharf
to meet her. large force of police awaited
the arrival of the boat and would not allow
any one to go near, carefully watching
every one coming.
BY orders of the captain no one was al
lowed on board of the ship, even the crew,
when disembarking, being submitted to a
rigid examination, and they had to prove
their identity to avoid any possibility
of escape. The captain said that Weeks
might possibly have obtained the disguise
of a seaman and attempt to get away in
the rush when the Decentralization occurred
hence these extra precautions. The captain
manifested this caution because Weeks was
Still In his charge, not having been turned
over to Detective Reilly, who accompanied
him from Port Limon.
1t seems that the government of Costa
Rica, instead of giving Weeks into the GUS
| tody of Reilly, turned him over to Capt.
George Leslie Of the Foxhall. who gave a
receipt for him.
This morning Capt. Leslie turned Weeks
| over to Detective Reilly. who will take him
to New York by evening train.
Mrs. Weeks Is with her husband, and Is
deeply affected by his misfortune. Weeks
does not desire to see any newspaper men,
and requests the detectives to keep report
ers away from him. However, one saw
him, and to him he said that when he got
| to New York he intended to plead guilty
and throw himself on the mercy of the
court. Weeks was taken to the ST. Charles
Hotel by the detective and locked up. await

LOBENGUELA'S CAPITAL TAKEN,
Probable End of the War Against the
Matabeles.

LONDON, Nov. IA special dispatch to
the Times from Fort Charter. Mashonaland
states that several fights have occurred
between the Matabeles and the forces of
the British South African Company, in
which the Matabeles were defeated with
considerable loss. The natives who hereto
fore have been regarded as fighters far
superior to the British, have lost much of
the confidence they felt in themselves and
are quite broken up by their succession of
reverses. King Lobenguela, the dispatch
adds. retreated and was followed by a Brit
ish column. 1t is reported that the British
loss in killed and wounded has not been
serious.
1t was reported that fighting was ex-
pected to occur near Hope Fountain, about
twenty miles south of Buluwayo, King Lo-
benguela's kraal. The Times dispatch is
not definite as to where the fighting refer
red to took place, but 1t is supposed that it
was at or near Hope Fountain. The dis
patch further says that the columns under
Maj. Goold Adams and Maj. Forbes have
occupied Buluwayo.
AS this was the objective point of all
the columns it Is considered here that the
war is practically ended, though unless
terms are made with Lobenguela it will
be in his power to harass the British by
the guerrilla warfare in which the Mata-
beles are adopts
1t appears that the column under the
command of Maj Forbes has done most of
the fighting that has resulted in the cap
ture of Lobenguela's capital.

PORTLAND, Ore, Nov. IA rather dam

time been sending letters of advice to Gov

Portland and Oregon, was captured shortly
after noon Monday. He is Charles Lun-
gedder, a German forty years Of age and a
gardener by occupation.
The letter which fell into the hands of
Mayor Mason, and which led to his appre-
hension, is a voluminous affair. Its writer
alleges that he is a reformer who has been
delegated by God to run an Independent
ticket for the presidency of the United
States; that it has been revealed to MIN
that he is the only man living who can
safely guide the government through the
present crisis. He thinks that it will be
necessary to kill Senator Mitchell, who, he
says, Is working against the interests OF
the great northwest He then goes into a
long discussion concerning the wrong-do-
ing Of a number of people. saying that
they. too, must die, IL the country is to be
saved.
In answer to a number of questions he
said: Il wrote Gov. Pennoyer some letters,
giving him good lecture on certain points.

The lens will be placed on the present

bearings by mariners entering the main

con will throw will be equal to that of a
