MESSAGE FROM THE DEAD.
Fate of Two Sailors Who Were Lost at Sea
 Last November.


 Gloucester, Mass. Aug. 16.-Captain Swim of the schooner Mariner, which arrived to-day. reports that on July 10. in latitude 42,5, longitude 679o. he pick ed up bottle which, from being coat ed with seaweed, must have been in the water long time. It contained q plainly written note signed Schooner Falcon" The note stated that the ca ble and rudder were gone. that two men had been washed overheard, and that the vessel was sinking, and ended with the words: God have mercy up- on us. Let this be known. Good bye"
 The note had no date ana was signed by none of the crew. The schooners Falcon and John W, Bray sailed from this port last November and have new CT been heard from. This confirms the opinion that they and their crews were lost in the heavy gale on Georges Is- land during that month.

Militia and Naval Officials Resorting to
 Sore Expendients to Cut Expenses.
 Washington, Aug. 16.-Unusual econ- omies seemed to be exercised now by militia and navy officials Last week Assistant Secretary McAdoo of the navy remitted eleven months of the years Imprisonment which was impos- ed upon Machinist Dunphy of the ram Kathadin, dismissal to follow, on the ground that it was too expensive to keep him in prison that long.
 General orders just issued by General Otis, ill command of the department of Columbia, seem to show that the same policy is to be followed In the army. Two soldiers were sentenced to dis nissal following a years Imprisonment for assertion. Reviewing the report of the court martial General Otis approves the sentence after reducing the term of Imprisonment to six months Similar remission of punishments is also made by General Forsythe, department of California Orders from the same headquarters relating to the transfer ol IioioSS anu iluieS lIulIi one post tO another require the transfers to be made without cost for transportation

It is not just to the American people that charges of this kind should go un- answered, He is the man, and the only man who can make definite and con- elusive answer"
 MT. Thurston suggests that Senator Stewart turn his batteries upon those reputable editors and newspapers mak- ing the charges. In conclusion he
 says:
 The American people, however, can
 best judge as, to whether or not the contributions for the circulation of sll-
 yer literature have been small if yoi will submit detailed account; and, as
 you say that these organizations-re- ferring to the Bimetallic league and American Bimetallic union-for which
 you stand as sponsor, can account for
 all the money received and the use
 made of it, I hope you will not longer
 delay in publishing your itemized bal
 ance sheet. I have no doubt it would
 be very interesting reading and would be greatly appreciated by 8 waiting public. Permit me to suggest, in con- clusion, that know of no possible req son why the Blmetallic union and its contributors should not employ orators or distribute literature. I concede that employment by your union is honora- ble. providing it is open and avowed, so that the people, whose interests are so vitally at stake, may know in whose behalf they are appealed to-
 T now hope, my dear sir, that you will frankly acknowledge that undue haste and stupidity with which you have misrepresented me in this mat ter, and I sincerely trust that you will immediately transfer to that great democratic journed, the Chicago Chron- icle, the honor of an opportunity to substantiate its editorial'

MINTATURE CYCLONE.
Wind Blows Fifty-six Miles an Hour-Con-
 siderable Property Damaged.

Omaha, Aug. 16.-This city was last night treated to a miniature cyclone, which played havoc with window lights, broke down shade trees and de- molished fences, chimneys and out buildings. About two inches of rain fell in half an hour, and the downpour was accompanied by hail. The wind gauge showed a velocity of fifty-six miles an hour. Every building in the business portion of the city having a northern exposure suffered from the tempest. The Willard and Paxton ho- tels have hardly a whole pane of glass.
 The Colton ice house at East Omaha was entirely destroyed, and fences and the grand stand at the fair grounds suffered seriously. Lightning struck in several places, but so far as can be ascertained no one was killed
