REPORT ABOUT REED
He May Decide to Not Be Again Mem
Der of the House.
II Not Nominated at St. Louis He Will
Probably Practice Law I'm
New York City.

Mr.. Reed, it is said. is serving his last term
in the House, no matter what may be the
result of the st. Louis convention. If he is
not nominated for President. Mr. Reed. ac-
cording to this report. will retire from Con-
gress and will probably take up the prac-
tice of law in New York. A prominent men,
ber of the House, who speaks positively as
to his Information, said to Star reporter:
Mr.. Reed will retire from Congress a the
close of this term, and viii quit politics, 4
he is not nominated for the presidency.
Flattering propositions to enter the practice
Of law in New York have been made to him,
and their consideration is contingent upon
the result of the national convention
OF course neither Mr.. Reed nor those who
might be regarded as representing him care
to discuss the contingency of his failure to
secure the presidential nomination, for the
reason that this might be regarded as an
ticipating defeat But the information is re-
garded as positive enough to warrant would
be aspirants to the speakership in the next
Congress to begin laying their plans. The
republicans assume that there can be nc
doubt about their maintaining their control
of the House in the next Congress, and that
they will have to elect Mr.. Reeds successor.
His intention to retire from Congress is,
therefore, matter of interest to several
aspiring leaders
Mr.. Hopkins of Illinois, who is making a
fight for the governorship of his state, will
probably retire from that contest and ac-
cept denomination for Congress, with the
idea that his prospects to succeed Mr. Reed
will De more than fair.
1t is expected that Grosvenor of Ohio will
also be an asp.rant, relying on the prestige
he has acquired as the leader of the Nc
kinley forces.

THE PRIVATE; SOLDIER.
Proposed Commission to Erect Z,
Monument to Comm emcrnte His vnIor

Proposed Commission to Erect IL
There are many monuments in the city
of Washington erected to the memory of
Union officers of the army and navy dis
tinguished in the late war of the rebellion -
said Mr.. Watson of Ohio today; but there
is no monument erected to the memory of
private soldiers and non-commissioned Off
GERS of the army. or enlisted men in the
navy, who served in the cause of the Union
during the war There is a so-called Peace
monument here, but that is not commemor-
ative of the deeds of the Common soldiers
of the war.
To cover this deficiency MIR. Watson today
introduced in the House bill authorizing
the appointment of comm SSion of five
members, two of whom snail have served
as private soldiers or non-comnisSioned Oh
hcers in the infantry of the army, one i'll
the cavalry and one in the artillery, and
one as an enlisted man in the navy of the
United States in the war.
1t shall be the duty of the commissioners
to select design for. end superintend the
erection of monument, in the city of
Washington which shall appropriately COM
memorate the services and achievements of
the private soldiers ana non-commissione1
officers of the Union army, including the
cavalry and artillery, and the enlisted Die n
of the United States navy, during said war.
the monument shall cost not to exceed
the sum of S2j0,0Oo, and this sum is appro-
priated.

CARLISLE A CANDIDATE
The Announcement to Be Made Within a
Very Short Time.
Sound Money Delegation Instructed
for Him Expected to Go
From Kentucky.

Information came to representative of
source that within a very short time
maybe within a few days-the announce
ment of Mr.. Carlisle as a candidate for the
presidency will be made. The manner of
it ic yet to be determined. Mr.. Carlisle
has been urged to formally reply to some
one of the numerous requests by letter he
has received to permit the use of his name
Again, 1t has teen suggested that the an
nouncement be made through the medium
Of an interview with Senator Lindsay, who
is the Secretary's warm personal friend
and supporter. But in one form or the
other 1t is said to be certain that the an
nouncement is soon to be made.
Sound Money Delegates Expected.
Mr.. Carlisle's supporters among the Ken
lucky democrats talk in the most confident
strain respecting the action to be taken by
meet to send delegates to Chicago. They
assert without qualificatio ton that the sound
money men will control it, and rot only in
struct for Mr.. Carlisle for President, but
indorse the administration out and out.
They declare themselves to be absolutely
assured of this, and some of them go to the
extent of predicting that Mr.. Blackburn
will not appear on the scene. Something
very encourag ging to the Carlisle men is
that both Senators Bronston and Gobel,
who figured so prominently in the legisla-
have recently declared for Mr.. Carlisle for
President, and Senator Bronston wishes to
go as delegate-at-large to Chicago to
work IN the Secretary'S behalf.

digging at the wall between the door and a

the men, and an investigation showed that
two pieces of stone about two fee. square
had been removed from the wall. Had the
work gone on a little longer, section
of the wall about four by twenty feet
would have fallen, thus wrecking the
whole building.

vide for a new building hut nothing was
done in the matter and it is thought some
immediate action.

the class has had no church history since
