superannuated clerks in the treasury
department at reduced salaries, his
critics saying it amounted to creating a
civil pension list.

Soon after the execution, the crowds
left the streets surrounding the jail,
but they did not leave until after the
bodies Of the men had been taken
away. Tonight the city is as quiet as
usual 1t has been disturbed by these
men for over a year.
The remains of Waling were taken
to his mother at Hamilton, O., tonight.
Jackson had anticipated that he
might be refused burial at Greencastle,
Ind. where his mother and sister re-
side. The friends of the Bryan family,
who were here to attend the execution,
stated that no cemetery in that vicinity
would give a permit for burial there.
There are many rumors tonight
about additional confessions that both
men are said to have left with their
friends. but no confidence is placed in
any confession since the men said be-
fore death to-day that they had made
mistakes i'm listening to those who ad-
yised the confessions. and hence they
died with their secrets untold.
Although it is generally conceded
that DIR. Wagner, who was accused by
+ the men as being their accomplice, had
no guilty knowledge of the murder
whatever. yet it is generally believed
/ that there are other parties implicated,
/ and that the facts may not now come
out.
THE REMAINS OF JACKSON
were incinerated tonight at the Gin
cirnqtf crematory. His mother is op-
posed to cremation, but had the body
inciuerated so that she could take the
ashes to her home at Greeucastle, Ind,
and not suffer the modification OF
being refused burial there.
The widowed mother was unable to
bear the expense of taking the remains
to- their old home in Maine as at first
contemplated
Jacksons face, with the exception OF
his oDen mouth and blue lips, was not

BLOW AT RED TAPE.

Assistant Secretary Roosevelt Intro
duces Reform Feature.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt has dealt
red tape hard blow. For some days he
has been in consultation with the COM
manders of the torpedo boats and the re-
suit became apparent yesterday, when he
issued an order which reduced at one sweep
the number of reports required to be made
by these officers from about 217 to thirty
two, and of these thirty-two not more than
ten are required to be made regularly.
Heretofore the captain on a little torpedo
boat had to make exactly many reports
as the commander Of big battle ship; tell
ing how every lot of coal burned, how the
dynamos ran every week or month. how
often paint was used and a hundred such
things. This took up so much time that
Mr.. Roosevelt, who is determined to make
the torpedo fiotilla a really important
branch of the navy. reduced the reports to
the simplest form, and thereby enabled the
oncers to devote their time to their boats
and their running.

annals Of mankind early in 1896 He an
ncunced with absolute recklessness, before
the site Of the democratic national con-
vention was selected. that he preferred
isheoI to Chicago as a convention city,
After Chicago was selected Colonel Bright
faded from the scene. Presumably he has
passed, the last year in musing over the
w.ckedLess OF Chicago. At any rate, ne
has reused himself at last, and he comes
up. dripping from the seas of forgetfulness.
wearing his sesweed like a laurel crown.
Once more he is Fame's and Fame is his.
Last Saturday he notified the keepers OF
the restaurants In the Capitol to sell no

see that the order was obeyed. II Col.
Dick Bright can 'pulverfze the rum power
as Mr.. David r. Locks used to say SO Of

he is a good deal more powerful than Com

Colonel Brighrs attention was called to
the statement yesterday afternoon, and he
said he had not issued such an order
