about to revive, he suddenly collapsed at

LYNN, MASS, Jan. 17.-Hon. John E.

Mr.. Redmond, at the request OF the

livered brief address, in which he said
that what interested him in this country
was the prison system, which was far
ahead Of England. The latter was, in his
opinion, the most brutal in the world, and
might be declared as system of solitude
and silence. The entire system was so
brutal and revolving that it drove many
men insane from the tortures inflicted on
them.

A Day Of Rest.

CANTON, ONO. Jan. 1.-THE usual

the litter OF papers had disappeared and
the Presiden t-elect rested and went to

Webb Hayes, son of the late President,
dined with Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley and
took drive with them in the afternoon,
returning home an early evening train.
Now that Senator Sherman has accepted
the portfolio of State, public interest seems
to center upon the appointment of Sec
retary of the Treasury. Charles Emory
Smith has been mentioned more fire.
quently and considered in connection with
this position more than any one else to
the present time, but another name has
been suggested which will also receive due
consideration at the hands of the Presi-
dent elect. The other Treasury possibility
is Congressman ]. NJ. McCleary of Min
nesota.
He attracted the attention of the Presi-
dent-elect by his forcible speeches in Con-
gress on the silver question. He was here
once during and once since the campaign.
Major Mckinley is very favorably i'm
pressed with Mr.. McCleary, who is a
Canadian by birth, and was an educator
before he went into politics. The Presi-
dent-elect would be glad to find suitable
/ man for Secret ary of the Treasury outside
of New York, in that no suspicion OF COM
plications with Wall kstreet may attach to
him. Still, if the best man for the place
is clearly shown to be in New York, the
appointment will be made from that State.
The friends of General Alger, who was
here from time to time, are very hopeful
at present He wants to be Secretary of
the Navy. The Republican party of
Michigan has practically been consoli-
dated in favor of General Alger, according
to Senator Burrows, and in this respect
be is a much stronger Cabinet possibility
than Henry c. Payne of Wisconsin or
ex- Governor Merriam of Minnesota who
are opposed by influential factions in
their respective States.
1t Is apparent to all careful observers
that Mr.. Payne, Ex-Governor Merriam
and Governor Alger cannot all be ap-
pointed to the cabinet, for the reason that
they come from the same section; so. if
Mr.. Payne and Governor Merriam should
be dropped from the list O. possibilities,
the chances of Ex-Governor Alger would
be greatly improved.
1t is thought that the present week will
see the President-elect reach a definite
conclusion respecting the appointment of
Cabinet officer from the Pacific Coast.
Judge Joseph McKenna is thought by
those much given to Cabinet speculation
to be in the lead. He served in Congress
with Major Mckinley, and was on the
Committee OF Ways and Means with him.

Exciting Scene in Columb a Theater
During a Performance of
Sousa's Gel Captain"

CHICAGO, ILL, Jan. 17.-Hundreds OF
excited and indignant theatergoers took
the high hat question into their own
hands tonight at the Columbia Theater
by Kisses and yells that amounted TO a
tumult.
They compelled every woman who was
present at the first night of Sousa's "El
Captain to sit bareheaded through the
performance-all but those in the boxes
and one woman in the parquet, who, in
spite of the yells and cat-calls that came
down at her from the balcony and gall
lery, Kept her wide -brimmed headgear on
all through the opera.
The noisy dem onstration began before
the curtain went up for the first act and
continued until after the opera had be-
gun, drowning out the music and, for a
few minutes, threatening to break up the
performance altogether.
Finally it was quieted by the ushers
when there were no more hats to come off,
and the play went on smoothly. The au-
dience, however, was noisy all the even
ing, and the excitement did not subside
till after the people were outside the play
house.
The theater was packed when the trou-
BILE began from the top row of the gallery
to the front row of the orchestra. Nobody
knows who started the demonstration.
From the suddenness of the outburst it
might have suggested itself to a hundred
persons at the same instant.
1t began with yells of "hats off" that
were interspersed with Kisses and groans
as some of the women showed a disposi-
ton not to obey. When the Kisses came

went off as if they had been caught by a

BOSTON, MASS, Jan. 1.-THE Globe to.
day publishes lengthy letter from a
special correspondent sent to Pinar del
Rio to substantiate the reported death of
Maceo and to present the actual facts
bearing on the situation among the insur-
gents in that province in Cuba. The letter
was ent from San Caiento on January 10,
and at the outset says that unless assist
ance of many kinds come TO the rebels in
this province within the next month or
six weeks, there will be no rebels to assist.
OF the force that Maceo had when he
made his second invasion only a remnant
of $50 remain, under the command OF
Brigadier- General Rivera, says the writer.
Rivera, who has received no intimatIon
that he is to succeed Maceo, is practically
in hiding on the northern coast with his
force, who are without ammunition and
without hope practically. General Rivera
warmly greeted the writer and discussed
ct length the situation. The best news he
had to give is as follows:
II do not wish to criticize our friends in
the United States, but our forces in Pinar
del Rio have been somewhat neglected.
We have been depending upon our STRAIT
egy and knowledge of the province to keen
us out of serious trouble. We have a
dynamite gun and two she'll pieces, but
for some time past we have had no am
munition for them. We are not in need
of men at all. You may think this is

see my command Of only few hundred
But in Cuba the whole native population
is with US, and l am confident an army OF
$4,000 could be placed in Havana province
before winter is over If we but had the
arms and ammunition TO give the men.

die for our cause, but we are not ready or
crazy enough to face the enemy's bullets.
Give US 10000 rifles and a supply OF ann
n1uniaiou and We will whip Weyler and
/ his trocha.

serious loss. The enemy has concen-
trated all its attention upon this province,
and while we have not suffered in last

remain in the province and fool big
army and many generals. While Weyier

U0rrioT'S Fate.
NEW YORK, N Y, Jan. IA Tribune
special from Jacksonville, Fla, says:
A letter was received here on Friday
from Colonel Andre Hernandez, now in
command OF the Cuban army encamped
near Havana, giving the true account of
Maceo's death and his subsequent burial.
As he says that he was in command of
the Cuban detachment that recovered the
body from Major Cirujeda's command
and afterward buried it his statement
settles the matter. The letter was sent to
J. a. Huau, the foreign representative of
the New York Cuban junta. 1t came
through the underground" channel. 1t
is dated January 8, from the ''encsmp-
ment near Havana" After extending to
Mr.. Huau thanks for past favors the letter
goes on:
1t was on December that we suffered
great misfortune in the tragic death by am
bush OF our leader, Mseeo. This is the great
est misfortune we have suffered since the be-
ginning of the war, but it only encourages us
to fight the harder and avenge his death. We
were encamped near the fight that day and
heard the firing. Maceo came across the
trocha, unknown to us, with but forty men.
More than 1900 Spaniards, who had been In
formed OF his TIP, ambushed him. He rode
into it and was snot at the first fire.
We heard the firing, and thinking that some
OF our friends were attacked by the Spanish
guerillas started off at once to their aid,
though we had but 400 men. When we
reached the scene of the slaughter it was
mostly over, and then we were told that
Maceo was dead and that the enemy had his
body tiel to a horse's tail and were taking 1T
cff. Our men were perfectly frantic over the
report and begged. TO be led against the
Spaniards. We dashed forward with drawn
machetes, and what a fight that was
The Spaniards met us and the encounter was
horrible. Our men fought to kill, only bent
on avenging Maceo. Our trusty and sharp
machetes fell with regularity and l think we
killed more than 200 OF the enemy; and what
is more, we had the consolation of recovering
the body of our beloved leader, Maceo. The
Spaniards fought hard to regain 1t, charging

Yesterday summons was sent TO Berlin
for Professor Bergman, the distinguished
German surgeon. 10 come to this city 20
perform an operation upon the Gar TO
prevent the extension OF an osseous ex-
crescence which has appeared in the
region of the cranium.
This trouble is due to the blow inflicted
by fanatical Japanese when he was
travelling in Japan in 1891.
HIS Majesty was visiting the town of
Otsa on May II of that year, when he was
making tour of the world, and was set
upon by the fanatic, who would probably
have inflicted more serious injuries had it
not zen for Prince George of Greece, who
accompanied his Majesty, and who
knocked the assailant down. This osseous
growth, which Professor Bergman will re-
move, has, combined with overwork,
caused the attacks of vertigo from which
the Car has suffered for some time.

whereas, all laws of Congress should be quit
