WASHINGTON LETTER.
From our Regular Correspondent.

That MI. Mckinley Is De-
ing duped by thegovernment
OF Spain is the opinion Of
nearly everybody, except Mr..
Mckinley and the members
OF t h e Cabinet. Spain is
playing for time aad plenty
OF it, and 1t is likely to get it
too, unless this country rude
ly awakeps the admlnistra-
tion from its dream and de.
lllands that Spain be made
to fish or cut bait. 1t is DIFF
ticult to find an intelligent
person who does not believe
that the change of ministry
in Spain was brought about
solely for the purpose OF &C.
curing delay in replying to
the proposition submitted
by the United States, and if
the game worked well then,
there is no reason that it will
not he worked again, or at
any rate attempted, when
Misister Woodford tries t o
prop the new ministry for IL
reply. Spain is also trying
to secure the support of the
bread and butter brigade in
this country by limiting at a
commercial monopoly to be
gr,.Eted US soon as peace is
restored to Cuba under the
new home rule scheme. These
things may catch Mr.. MrKin
ley, but they do not catch
those who know the actual
situation in Cuba. Spain
will have nothing to do with
the commerce of Cuba when
there is n restoration ofbusi-
ness and trade on the island,
because its hold upon the is
land will be gone. Mr.. Me-
Kinlpy cannot change the ul-
innate result in Cuba, but he
can hurry up matters, it 50
disposed. If he allows Spain
to pull the wool over hiseyes
hy the recall of Butcher Wey-
Ter. and indefinite talk n
bout Ho..e Rule concessions
to the Cuhans, which every
schoolboy in the United Stat
es knows will not be accept
ed, he will simply lose a great
opportunity to please the
people OF this country, re-
gardless of party. He prob
ably has not forgotten how
difficult it was t. o prevent
Congress forcing this issue
last spring. 1t will he'impos
sible, ifnothing has been done
by the time Congress reas-
sembles IN December.
=, The single gold standard
advocates composing the So
called monetary conference,
which has reassembled in
Washington after q recess,
are, perhaps :unconsciously,
doing the silver men a great
favor by trying 10 force the
administration into the ad-
vocacy of a financial bill in
tended to perpetuate the sim
gle gold standard on the
country, at the coming ses,
sion of Congress. Nothing
: would please the silver men
so we'll as to zee this issue
forced to the front by an at
tempt to j a m legislation
through Congress. Without
the active assistance OF the
adu inistration, 1t cannot be
done. Left to himself. Mr..
Mckinley would let the finan
Cial question severely alone,

touched with usefulness: of dark silky
hair; as sweet a thing of breathing flesh
| and blood as ever mortal man would need
| to look upon, and looking, love.
But all the glass gave back to her was
/ lost in the light Of the cleaning rose that
seemed to fairly envelop her and-to her
nervous fancy-to control and domino tie
| her.
An hour later. having spoken few
words to her hostess. Doris sought ont a
quiet corner in the conservatory and sat
there resting and watching the new ar
rivals. The warmth of the room was
grateful after the cold drive and the girl
leaned back among the cushions with a
sense of quiet peace and even pleasure;
after all she had been making a great
fuss about nothing, she would be very
happy and PhiIip-weH she would be d Bile
to act the gracious benefactress and see
him famous, and be glad that the rose
had decided things just as it had.
She was glad at last to have it all set
tied; glad of those few moments to rest
in; bye and bye Sir George would come
and find her. It was very pleasant here
among these tall feathery palms, with the
musical splash of the fountain back
among the dim shadows: and she had not
slept a wink all night owing to that
stupid worry and her eyelids dropped, she
| made an effort to recover but it seemed
that the white rose was pressing her lids
down and would not be refused.
Then all was mixed up. the rose was
laughing at her and slowly changing it's
creamy petals to brilliant crimson; she
started aghast and tried weakly 20 re-
monstrate. but the rose only laughed and
shook one of it's new crimson petals down
into her lap as it said: Its no use your
struggling and, forgive my laughing, but
[ knew that I was red rose all the tine,
and, I grew this way just to guide you

and murmured ''oh. Philip
Now Philip Heritage was by no means
the recreant lover that Doris fancied him.
He was an enthusiastic young painter,
and when really interested in piece of
work was apt to be entirely obIivious of
his surroundings. But he was-very hon
estly in love with Doris, though being a
conscientious as we'll as level-headed
young man, he deemed that he had no

BY AQUnA KEMPSTER.

1t was the day before New Years.
Philip had not written for three weeks
and Doris was very angry, for while they
were not actually engaged, still there was
KIND OF understanding between them,
and the girl remembered that she had be-
5frayed more of her feelings than she had
intended, the night before he had gone
away Oh sketching tour. And as a re-
ward she has received one haSty little
scraWl, bidding her be "a good little girl''
till he came back. That was ALL "A good
little girl indeed? The words seemed to
rankle, and a hot flush rose to her face
as she repeated them.
A good little girl "a child of course-and
anything that had passed between them
was just nonsense. He had simply been
playing with her, amusing himself watch
ing the warm color flood her cheeks as
she listened to his words, words that
seemed to mean so much; yet now-bah-
of course he had laughed at her confusion
Thought OF her as a pretty little fool. if
indeed he had thought her even pretty
She bit her lip with veXation as she
thought thus bitterly of her recreant ad-
mirer. Then she picked up an open letter
from the table and began to reread it
slowly and critically. 1t was an old
story, this other mans love, and one that
but now she seemed to be drawn little
closer to the Writer-he was in earnest at
any rate, and there was something pa
thetic in the way he expressed himself
of course he was old-and pleaded his
cause for the sake Of what he could do for
her and hers.
He was an honorable gentleman, rich
and cultured and his sister was her dear
est friend, the one who seemed to under
stand her best, and hey day! if only Phil
ip's bonny, laughing face would not stay
SO persistently with her, how easy it

to live with her dearest friend and to be

by that friends brother; if only Philip
would-but there, what was The use, one
might as we'll wish for the moon.
And Anna knew about Philip and so
did Sir George, and they had been so
good about It, only as Anna had said,
Philip was rather too much of an I'M
known quantity for her little girl to trust
her life entirely to, but, she had added,

TOWEL FOR A GARR0TE.
Fiendish Methods Employed by the
MurdererS of Jacob Vein
and at ST. Louis.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 23.-The post
norton held on the body of Jacob Wei
nand, who was found dead in his kitchen
Tuesday evening, revealed a peculiarly
fendish method the murderers had re-
sorted to TO get rid of the old man.
When found Weinand, besides being
gagged and bound, had a towel tightly
twisted about his neck. The post norton
showed that far down in the old mans
throat tightly embedded at the bronchial
tubes was a wad of thick cloth which
had been wrapped with horse hair. Fin
gers could not have reached that far, and
a stick was probably used to ram the
Wad down. Then the old man was gar
roted with the towel
In 1893 a soldier at Jefferson barracks
who had saved about $1,000, which he
carried in his pocket, was found muir
dered in his room. He had been bound
a wad of cloth and horse hair pushed
down his throat, and choked to death
with a twisted towel.
The similarity of the murder of Tues
day evening with that of the soldier four
years ago has caused excitement in po-
lice circles

CRITICISE THE TROOPS.
Scathing Comments on the Man
agement of Campaign
in india.

Allahabad, Dec. 23.-The Pioneer pub
fishes a scathing criticism of the recent
lighting on the Indian frontier, and says
the operations have ruined more than one
reputation. The Pioneer asserts that the
ohcers have disappointed expectations
and calls upon the cOmmander-in-chief to
weed out those who have signally failed
to prove their fitness to command or per-
form staff duties. The paper asserts that
the instances when the troops were well
handled have been few, while serious
plumbers were numerous and happy 60
lIcky arrangements were the rule, ''re-
sultlng a few hundred British troops
and Sepoys forming the rear guard hav-
ing again and again to fight desperately
to save their skins, while within two
or three miles thousands of their com
rades were doing absolutely nothing"
The Pioneer says further: "The whole
campaign shows carelessness and indif-
ference for the safety of the rear guard
and bad disposition of the fighting
strength. While the fortified enclosures
and homesteads of the Afridis have been
destroyed. the latter have had their re-
venge III the actual conflicts''

CENTURY'S MISSION is PEACE.
Chauncey Depew's Forecast in a Speech
at Washington.

Washington, D. c., Dec. % Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew was one of the speakers
at the banquet of the Congrega tional
club last night. In closing his speech he
said:
For the Twentieth century the mis-
sion of the United States is peace; peace,
that it may capture the markets of the
world; peace, that it may find the places
where its surplus products not only of
food but of labor, can meet with q prof
tia BILE return. President Mckinley has
struck the keynote of this expanding poll
cy of our country and recognized that
our mission has changed from internal de-
velopment purely to external commerce,
in the note which he has sounded so
loudly and so clearly for peace.
Thus the Twentieth century will re-
verse the Nineteenth the Eighteenth, the
Seventeenth and the Sixteenth, and the
United States will enter hopefully on it's
larger mission. God grant that we may
see America reach out on the lines set
down by our forefathers in the conquest
of the world -

right to bind a girl so young until he had
proved that he could keep her in comfort
And when on the night before he went
away she had shown him that she cared,
| he had blessed his stars but held man
fully to his determination, and gone off
with gay, jesting word, little dreaming
what the consequences Of his reticence
| would be.
Once away, he grew afraid to write.
Every letter he tried to pen seemed to
cry aloud, Doris, [ love you! I love
| your And so this stupid young man tore
them up and got down to his work with a
grim determination. He had intended to
! get back to town in a week or ten days,
| but he struck such wealth of color that
| he stayed on and on painting away for
dear life and never thinking how his long
silence would strike the little girl that he
was working fox.
At last the brilliant colors began to
fade, chill winter winds arose; and Philip
packed up his traps and went back to
+, town for New Years night. The same
| evening he went to call on Doris and
found that she had gone 10 the musicale
The hostess was an old friend so he
marched off to the house, determined to
after welcome, pushed toward the con-
servatory.
What he found there was a girl asleep
among the cushions of a divan. a girl
with white rose in her hair.
He stole softly behind and stopped ad-
mlrlngly over her; then a spirit of mis-
chief seized him and he gently drew the
white rose from her hair and replaced it
with red one from his coat She stirred
as ne dld SO and one of the red petals fell
to her lap. Then for the first time he
noticed that she looked tired and worn,
and IN an excess of loving soIicitude
stopped and kissed her lightly, then drew
back as she flushed and muttered his
name. He was just about to rouse her
when the sound of voices forestalled him
ana Doris started up with a slight excla-
nation.
The dream had been very real. and be-
tore she had quite recovered she saw Sir
George and his sister coming straight to-
wards her; she half rose to meet them
when to her astonishment Sir George
suddenly halted and, with a formal bow,
turned away, taking his sister, who
seemed to be on the verge of tears, with
him. 49,
Doris gazed after them with the most
profound astonishment until her eve was
caught by the red petal lying cured in her
lap. She started and gasped, and her
hand went gropingly tC her hair She
| drew forth a-red rose, and stared at it
with wide open eyes as her dream came
back to her: Turning she saw Philip
standing smiling behind her, and intuitive-
ly grasping the truth of the dream kiss,
she ,colored painfully, but the rose-the
rose! suddenly she caught sight of the
white rose on his coat--the white rose
with the crimson heart ''Where did YOU
get it, Philip" she cried
Stole it.. dear, but you'll forgive me,
won't your"
Il suppose I must since you've con-
| fessed."
