POSSIBLE HOUSE LEADERS
A Pretty Play for Democratic speakership
Honors. (,
Richardson, McMillin and Bland
of Combine Success.
Richardson.

The play which Is being made for the
speakership Of the House in case the DEM
ocrats win is one of the most interesting
phases Of the democratic situation. 1t has
been going on for a good while. but has
not been commented on to any extent.
The principals in the play are Represen-
tatives McMilin and Richardson. both Of
Tennessee. Each has been spoken of for
the honor in former years. and each as
pires to leadership in the House and out
side.
There is no doubt that the friends of each
man are working for their favori.e is hard
as they can. 1t is wire-puling movement
up to date, but will take definite form after
the election if there is any chance for a
democrat.
Mr.. Richardson got in some good work
to begin with by his prominence at the Chi
cago convention, which he is given credit
for handling when the permanent chair
man could do nothing with IL.
Then Mr.. McMillin was put IN charge of
the preparation of the democratic hand
book. and given all the prominence which
ne could desire in other ways. Now he Is
just through handling Candidate Bryan in
some OF his trips in the west. Mr. Richard
son was called to democratic headquarters
IN Chicago after having served here.
Up 10 GATE Mr. McMillin seems to have
gotten closer to MIR. Bryan, while Mr.. Rich
ardson enjoys the favor of some of the
leaders at headquarters in Chicago.
w lille all this is going on Your Uncle
Dick Blan1 is said to have his wealth ,r eye

tige of having almost been nominated for
the presidency. and long record in the
cause of silver. He does not POSSESS the
parliamentary qualifications of either Of the
other men, but he will have a further rec
ord OF common sense as uualifica ton
and the history Of the election OF other

lamentarians to refer to. II is not known
that Bland wants the speakership He may
aspire to the leadership of the silver
forces on the floor. With Crisp absent
from the House that position fell TO McMil-
lin and Richardson during the last session
OF the House. Crisp will be out of the next
House and somebody must take the lead
ership. with majority or minority. Rich
ardson and McMilln are practically GER
tain OF being reelected, and there does not
seem to be much doubt of BANDS election.
Outside of these three men the silver
democrats have no man of tried experi-
ehce. unless 1t is Livingston of Georgia. or
Terry and Dinsmore of Arkansas Nc

He said to a friend: Il do not know how
can ever buckle to again. l am dazed by
this calamity"
cousin of the Castles who is at present
in this city. said TO a representative OF the
Associated Press today:
TIL. charge is absolutely rldlcuiouS
Why, two large packing cases full OF pres
ents were sent to my mouse in Hyde Park

were bought. How could they be stolen.
The Castles have beer abroad for year
AID had a large number of commissions
from society friends in San Francisco, and
they have also been large purchasers OF
kniCk-knacks, etc.
Evidence will be produced that some
tine ago Mrs. Castles health was such
that Dr. Gabriel of this city was called.
He found her suffering from pains in the
head.
1t was settled yesterday evening that no
application will be made for bail before the
prisoners are brought up on remand. on
Tuesday next.

The commissioners in charge of the bal
lots have found that in percentage the
Bryan vote takes 4 position about mid way
between that of the first days record AMI
that in the tables of October 8. table
of comparative changes. made from the
figures on votes received shows that Me
Kinley gains 2.52i taking the vote of 1872
as basis, and Bryan gains 9.
This means that 1,s2S men who voted for
Harrison four years ago will vote for Bryan
this year. while 4,343 men who cast their
ballots for Cleveland in 1892 will vote Tor
Mckinley.
In only two wards are Bryan gains
shown. Taking all the wards and the
township of Cicero. so far canvaSsed, Il
percentage comparison of the votes re-
ceived in 1896 and 1892 by the two republi-
can and two democratic candidates shows:
Bryan. %: Cleveland, SO; Mckinley, 10;
Harrison. II.
The mailing of ballots to the wards of the
city and to Cicero continues and they are
also being sent out to Illinois and to Mis-
souri,. AS soon it is possible for the mails
to be sent out and answered returns may
be expected.
1t is said in Chicago by the adherents of
Mr.. Bryan that the reason fer the small
silver vote sent into the Record is due to
the fact that orders have been sent from
the silver Headquarters not to answer the
requests for opinions, and that like action
has been taken by all the labor organiza-

Willie White, a colored boy who works
for j. b. Chamberlain. the lawyer was in
the Police Court today on the charge of
doing little scorching on Pennsylvania
avenue yesterday. Policeman Estes of the
bicycle squad told the court of the speed at
which White was riding. He was riding a t
the rate of at least twelve miles an hour"
said the officer land l overlook him near
18th street. after having followed him from
10th street
What did he say when YOU arrested
him." the court asked.
He said he had been sent on a hurry-up
Grand
Il want to say that the course pursued by
these bicycle policemen is villainous' said
MIR. Chamberlain. It's their duty to warn
these people instead of wanting to arrest
all of them
Not So said the court their duty Is
to arrest those who violate the law"
instead of attempting to prevent infrac-
tons of the law" Mr.. Chamberlain said
they stimulate it. They seem bent on
making arrests rather than prevent in
fractions of the law Examples are made
of poverty and ignorance, and persons of
influence are never troubled"
We have all classes and conditions OF
men here in these cases" the court :e-
marked. land there Is no proof to justify
your remarks"
The judge said he thought nine of every
ten wheelmen on the streets violate the
law. and the sooner they understand the
law the better. This law is for the pro-
lection of everybody, and 1 hope the Off
GERS will continue to enforce it, A fine OF
s. was imposed, which was paid.

Lawyer Martin had the forfeiture set

Annual Report Of the Subsistence Department
of the Army.

Gen. NJ R. Morgan. commissary general
rotary of War of the opera tons of the sub
sistence department for the fiscal year end
Ell June 30 last. from which it appears that
the total expenditures for food for the
army were S2.1G9.6S4, and that there is
balance on hand of $31G.GS. The enact
ment of the provision of the act of Con-
gress of February II, 1893. which fixed the
number of officers of the grade of COM
missary of subsistence, with the rank of
captain at eight. caused the discontinuance
of the purchasing stations of the subsist-
erce department in the following cities:
Washington. DC; Cincinnati Ohio; BaiG-
more. Md; Los Angeles, Cal.
Destitute Citizens Supplied.
Destitute citizens were supplied TO the ex-
tent Of 244 incomplete rations at few
military posts during the year upon orders
Of the commanding officers.
Fourteen days rations We're furnished
requests Of the Department of State to the
United States consul at Piedras Negras,
Mexico, for distribution by him to a num-
her of colored persons, citizens of the Unit
&c States, near that place. who were re-
turning from Mexico in destitute condi-
ton to their homes in Alabama. The value
OF these issues amounted to $44o.oS.
Officers Rutions.
Gen, Morgan renews his recommended
ton of last year that there be added to the
clause Of the act making appropriation for
subsistence of the army a proviso in the
following form:
THAT hereafter each officer serving in
the field or on transports shall be entitled
while so serving, to draw one ration per
day for himself and one ration per day for
one servant actually accompanying him,
and that the commanding officer Of a sep
arate command numbering not less than
four companies shall be entitled, while SO
serving, to draw an additional ration per
day for an additional servant actually ac-
companying him.
Cooks and Bakers.
He also renews his recommendation of
last year that cooks and bakers be enlisted,
the pay of chief cook and chief baker to be
| $50 per month each; that of cook. SO; that
of assistant baker. SIS; that of assistant
! cook SIG.
There should be cook and assistant
| cook for each company, he says. and at
| lished. a chief cook and one baker and as
| sistant baker, with additional assistant
! bakers, not exceeding one for every 200 ra-
| tons of bread baked per day in excess
| Of 800.
Legislative authority is also urged for the
sale of subsistence stores to officers and
| enlisted men at cost prices for cash, and
on credit in certain cases.

1t is easily possible for news

swell Its legitimate circulation enor-
mously, in order to deceive adver-

turnable, and which are in fact re-

cluded in what purports to be an
honest statement of circulation.
Intelligent advertisers, however,
judge by results. and bogus circula-
