MAY SEPARATE.
Ex-President Cleveland and Wife
Said to Have Agreed Upon


Said to Have Agreed Upon
This Course.
The following is taken from the
Glasgow, (Scotland), Herald, of March
G. The Herald is a very reliable, yet
conservative journal, and why it
should be allowed to scoop its Ameri-
can cousins in giving American news
is probably best answered by reading
down the column:
A DalZeil telegram from New York
contains the following remarkable
story:
1t is stated with the utmost conf
dence that President Cleveland and
his wife have amicably arranged to
separate when the presidential term
expires next week. The house at
Princeton, n. j., to superintend the ar
rangement of which Mrs Cleveland
and her daughters went the other
day, was bought with Mrs. Cleveland's
personal money. Both Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleveland go through direct from
Washington Immediately after Mr..
Mckinley has been installed as presi-
NtVil III tut ldhtu DOSSt-
sion of the White House. Then Mr..
Cleveland will start on a trip, osten-
sibly to recuperate his health, going to
Cuba with his friend Mr.. L. c. Bene-
dict, the well-known banker of New
York and Boston, in the latter's yatch
Oneida. Later Mr.. Cleveland will
proceed to Europe 1t is asserted
that Mr.. Cleveland will never live
with his wife again. They have lived
apart in the White House during the
whole of last year. In fact they decid-
ed to separate in 1895, but were per-
suaded by mutual friends to avoid the
public esclandre until the close of the
presidential term, owing to the terri
bic scandal which would ensue At
that time Mrs. Cleveland declared that
the president had struck her, knocked
her down and acted arrogantly to-
ward her. So Outspoken and indig-
nant did she become in regard to do
nestle dispeace in the White House
that rumor freely discussed the fact
that the Hon. Daniel S.Lamont, Sec
rotary of War, had requested Mr..
George Cary Eggleston, the most in
fiuential newspaper editor in New
York to visit President Cleveland and
discuss matters. Mr.. EgglestOn went
to Washington in the hope that at
Mr. Lamont's earnest solicitation he
would be able to keep the scandal
from finding its way to the public
prints. Mr.. Eggleston investigated
affairs, and told Mr.. Lamont that he
was satisfied Mrs. Cleyeland's story
was true, but that, for the credit of
the country, he would try to suppress
it in the newspapers, in which he was
successful. Mrs. Cleveland then told
Mr.. Eggleston that she would separ-
ate from her husband Immediately
after his term as president expired.
This was the reason why she had Civ
en- no receptions during the past year,
and why she had absented herself
from the White House, and whenever
Mr.. Cleveland was compelled to re-
ceive she refused to appear with him.
Our representative after eX-
haustive inquiry. believes that the
story is authentic, and that when full
ly disclosed it will make tremen-
duous sensation. His authority are
Secretary Lamont, Mr.. EgglestOn, Mrs
Cleveland'S mother, and also her most
intimate friends.

1t is the business of children to eat
and grow. If you have a child that
eats well but does not grow, if its ap-
petite is variable, you have cause to
suspect worms. There are apt to be
other symptoms. Face is pale, eyes
are dull, sleep is broken, the child
picks at it's nose and is restless and

A CANARD.

No one should be so credulous as to
give any belief whatever to the story
sent by wire yesterday that Emperor
William of Germany has sent his fleet
into Pacific waters for the purpose OF
making war upon the United States.
The Emperor is not a savage, and does
not make war without some pretense OF
cause. nor without some notice of inten-
ton to abrogate treaties of peace which
he has with a foreign power he proposes
to assault That he is augmenting the
naval strength of Germany in this hem
isphere is true, but that he contemplates
war with this country is absurd, because
there is not the slightest friction be-
tween the two nations. 1t may be that
he looks forward to possible compllca-
tions with other powers because or ms
aggressive attitude toward China. The
warn telegraphed without the backing
of any one who dares to give his name,
is pure invention, or it is projected as
flyer to affect the market for American
securities in the interest Of some shreWd
speculator who takes the people of TINS
country to be fools.

MORE OF RUSSIA AND HER PUR.
POSE.

The wintering of the Russian Pacific
feet at Port Arthur is more likely to
be a menace to Japan than anything
else, IL there is any ulterior purpose In
1t at all. But the theory advanced
yesterday IN these columns Is IN our
opinion the most reasonable. The con-
vening Of the feet In Chinese port Is
legitimate under the treaty Of Russia
with China that gives the former the
right TO assemble her ships IN the Chin
csc port whenever the Russian Govern
ment thinks 1t necessary because Of
possible Involvement IN war with some
other Power than China.
There Is but one other power on those
waters with which Russia IS likely to
have trouble. and that is Japan. Yes
terday's dispatches set forth that the
collection OF the ships at Port Arthur
is looked upon in some quarters as a
warning to Germany and q distinct
threat TO stop her predations. If pushed
any further. That too is probable.
Russia may have both Germany and
Japan in mind as needing watching,
but more is proably intended for the
latter than a sharp eye. The japanese
must feel nervous at the close approach
Of both Germany and Russia and un-
doubtedly entertains fears that the two
may be playing a game together.
Some European papers and CORE
spondents go so far as to say that as a
matter OF fact Germany and Russia
have a perfect understanding as to
their presence in Chinese waters and
territory. That too may be probable
IT is. however. far more likely that
Russia's real purpose is TO be ready for
anything at any moment that may in
volve an assault upon Japan. That
old quarrel about the Russian foothold
in Korea for instance, was not half
patched up, while the jealousy Of ia
pan at Russian pretensions in the ORR
ent may result In some sort OF a DEM
onstration that the a1fkado may not be
able to control
In fact almost anything may now
come TO pass in that section of the
world except war between China and
Russia They do not for moment
contemplate that But when all this
is said. 1t must be kept in mind that SO
soon as the dismemberment OF China
begins. Of which so much has recently
been prophesied, Russia will be on
