M|ith better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle eefforts-pleasante efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that SO many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene-
hcial effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali.
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most sbillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
.nine should have the best, and with the
'll-informed everywhere, Syrup of
tigs stands highest and is most largely
tsSeo ano gives most general satisfaction.

James z. Fields as Editor.

In 1859 The Atlantic Monthly passed
into the hands OF Ticknor 6 Fields, the
junior publisher becoming finally its
editor. It was change Of much impor-
lance to all its contributors and greatly
affected my own literary life. Lowell
had bsen, Of course, an appreciative
and sympathetic editor, yet Fields had
the advantage over Lowell OF being both
editor and publisher, SO that he had a
free hand us TO paying for articles. The
prices then paid were lower than now,
but were raised steadily, and he first in
troduced the practice of paying for each
manuscript on acceptance. He had a
any other editor or publisher-that Of
volunteering to advance money on pro-
spective articles, yet to be written, and
he did this more than once to me- I
have also known him to increase the
amount paid on finding that an author
particularly needed the money, especial
ly if it were the case of woman. His
sympathy with struggling women was
always very great, and I think he was
the only one in the early Atlantic circle,
except Whittier and myself-with EN-
erson also, latterly-who favored wom-
an suffrage.
With all his desire to create staff
Fields was always eagerly looking out
for new talent and was ever prompt to
counsel and encourage. He liked, of
course, to know eminent men, and his
geese were apt to be swans, yet he was
able to discriminate. He organized Dick
ems readings, for instance, and went to
every one Of them, yet confessed frank
ly that their pathos was failure; that
Little Nell was unreal, and Paul Dom
hey a tisesomo creature wEcse death
was relief. Fields was really keen
judge Of character and had his own
fearless standards. I Cnce asked him
which he liked the better personally,
Thackeray Or Dickens, and he replied,
after moments reflection, Dickens,
because Thackcray enjoyed telling ques-
tionablc stories, thing which Dickens
never did. Colonel 7. ". Higginson

Ing Their RenOrta.

SubcOmmfttees of the Board Prepar.
Ing Their Reports.
The naval personnel board, of which AS
sistant Secretary Roosevelt is president,
has closed its deliberations, and has taken
recess until Monday week in order to
allow the various subcommittees appointed
to consider different branches of the gen.
eral question. time in which to prepare
their reports to the board. As has been
already stated in The Star, it has been
decided by the board to recommend the
amalgamation Of the present engineer
corps with the lire Of the navy, giving the
members actual rank and corresponding
power. One of the subcommittee is
charged with the duty of preparing a bill
making provision for the enforcement of
such scheme, for the action of the board
with a view to its submission for the ac-
tion of Congress with the Endorsement OF
the Navy Department. 1t Is hoped in this
way to settle to great extent at least the
long continued strife between the line and
stah Of the navy In the vital matter of
rank and responsibilities. The engineer
corps is the only stan department con-
sidered In this connection, ard It Is said
there is considerable dissatisfaction in the
medical and pay corps at being left out.
One of the propositions submitted to the
board contemplates the transfer of the
marine corps to the line of the navy. This
proposition is vigorously opposed by the
officers OF the marine corps, who much
prefer their present status as an independ-
ent organization.

FRAUDULENT CREEK WARRANTS
Result of the Interior Department
Investigation.

Mr. j. W. Zeveley of the Interior De-
rartHent. who was selected by Secretary
Bliss to make an investigation of the re-
ported issue of fraudulent warrants by
the government of the Creek Indian Nation,
has returned to Washington after spend
ing about month in Indian territory,
making the inquiry. The investigation
made by Mr.. Zeveley established the fact
that Isparhecher. the principal chief, has
10 knowledge Whatever of the English
language, and that all the warrants pur-
porting to have been issued and signed by
him We're in fact issued and signed by an
under secretary in his Office
The investigation also developed the fact

10 defraud the Creek government out of a
laJ ge sum of money.
The warrants now known to be fraudu-
Iehtly issued amount to s93, ,704.93. MIR.
Zeveley says their fraudulent character is
established by indisputable testimony Tile
district attorney for the northern district
OF the Indian territory has been put in
possession of all the facts in the case. and
the parties engaged in the conspiracy will
all be prosecuted.
The department has located about $685.
NO OF the bogus warrants in the hands of
various persons, but does not feel at lib

warrants has been paid.
The fraudulent documents are not war

ciently clearly established 10 warrant him

The Cuban Commander to Make an
Aggressive Move.
CONFIDENCE AMONG THE INSURGENTS
Expect Soon to Overthrow the
Spanish.
THE PRESIDENTS ATTITUDE

1t is understood among Cuban sympathiz-
ers that General Gomez is going to make
an aggressive move shortly, and very i'm
portant events are expected TO transpire
In Cuba within a few weeks. The Cubans
are evidently looking forward with joyous
anticipation to sudden termination of the
war in complete triumph of the Cuban
cause
Just what General Gomez's plans are no
one seems to know, but there is confidence
expressed that the program he has been
developing will result in the complete over
throw of the Spanish power on tine island.
TIE Cubans base ali their hopes upon their
own efforts. and anticipate no assistance
from this country and no advantage
to them from new policy by the United
States government 1t is realized that
President Mckinley is going TO avoid hos
tl1ties with Spain as long as possible and
while 1t is believed that If the conflict
Were prolonged enough the United States
would inevitably become involved IL is
tnouSht that the conclusion of hostilties
move has been made by this administra-
ton.
No Need to Interfere.
If the Cubars themselves win their own
liberty within few months-perhaps few
weeks-there will then be no reason for the
United States to get into trouble with Spain
There is no confidence placed. by those
who know the situation, in the professions
of friendly disposition on the part of the
new Spanish cabinet toward this govern
ment- The latest note from Sagasta, with
all Its protestations of frendliness con-
tained the implied accusation with respect
TO hiibustering and the very adroit sugges-
ton that Spain's rights must be respected
which implies that there is disposition on
our part not, to respect those rights.
The President Wants Peace.
The relief from danger of war does not
come from such shallow professions as
this. which are fully understood by the ad-
ministration; but from the fact that the
President wants to preserve peace If pos
sible. ard believes that this government will
lot suffer any loss of dignity by being for
bearing to the last degrae
This sentin ent on the part of the admin
istratior and the prospect that Spain can
not much longer sustain the war in Cuba
reduce to minimum the danger of war
between the United States and Spain.

CHIEF OF THE SECRET SERVICE.
Informal Confederation of a Change
in the Office.

In the Omce.
Among the coming changes in the Treas
ury Department will probably be that of
the head of the secret service bureau. Up
to this time. however. it's consideration
Of a change has been informal. Chief
Hazen has not been requested to resign,
and the treasury officials are not on the
point of requesting his resignation. No
change will be made by November 49, as
IS reported. 1t is alleged that Detective
Porter of Chicago will succeed Chief Hazen,
but 1t can be authoritatively stated that
Mr.. Porters name has not been considered
as successor to the present chief.
Chief Hazen is away from the city. This
is the time &C .hA year when he is out
loo king after cases before the courts.
Chief Hazen was appointed a detective
in the secret service May ID, 1893, and was
promoted to the head of the force Feb
ruary 1, 1894. He is under the civil service
regulations.
Chief Hazen is from Ohio. Whoever sue
ceeds him will be promoted, as the Treas
ury Department believes in the elevation
of men in the service.

CLEVELAND. Ohio, November 1.-THE
anti-Hanna combination claim that twenty
republican members of the general assem-
Oily OF this state can be relied on to vote
against Mr.. Hanna The antis will first

VIII probably be made the candidate of the
ants In consideration of his support of the
antf-Hanna movement
Inc enemies OF Mr.. Hanna are circulate
ing e story Of a bargain alleged to have
peen made in this state a few days before
Governor Bushnell appointed Mr. Hanna
Ohited states senator. By the terms of
the compact. 1t is alleged, Mr. Hanna was
10 receive the senatorship in consideration
or surrendering absolute control of the
party In this state to the governor. Mr..
Hanna was to keep his hands off the con-
vention at Toledo. He was to allow Gov
ernor Bushnell to be the dictator of the
republican party in the state and to retire
iEto the background himself He was also
to forget all past differences and not inter-
fere with Mr.. Kurtz as chairman of the
campaign committee. On the other hand.
MI Hanna was to have the appointment
as senator, was to be indorsed by the con-
vention at Toledo and was to have no op-
position from his party for the short and
long terms as senator, in the next lepis-
lature.
Mr. Hanna's enemies declare that he
violated every promise thus alleged to have
oeen made; that he ruled the convention
at Toledo with an iron hand; that he al
most forced Governor Bushnell out of a
second nomination, and that he retired Mr.
kurtz In violation of his promise. Mr..
Hanna will not talk about the truth or
iaisity OF this report. He is saying moth
ing about the Ohio situation whatever.

FAVOR A PASSIVE ATTITUDE.
Democrats Who Oppose an Anti
Hanna Coalition.

Democrats Who Oppose an Anti.
Hanna Coalition.
Democratic politicians do not generally
approve of the proposition that the demo-
Gratis in the Ohio legislature assist In the
election Of some other republican to the
Senate than Mr.. Hanna. The view of the
case that is being urged very earnestly is
that since the democrats cannot elect one
of their own party to succeed Mr.. Hanna
the best thing for them to do Is to let the
republicans fight it out among themselves.
and that II Mr.. Hanna is elected It will be
better for the democrats. as far as party
advantage goes, than II q more popular
and tactful republican were chosen. This
idea is said to be impressing itself upon the
Ohio managers. and 1t is believed that thew
will not add anything to the difficulty In
Mr.. Hanna's way.
Some OF the shrewdest Of the democratic
leaders say that the success Of Mr. Hanna
will relegate Mrs Foraker to a secondarv
position In Ohio politics. and that with
Hanna dominating the Ohio republican or
ganization the democrats would have mnch
better prospects of success In the future
than they would II Hanna were eIiminsferi
from the politics Of the state.

NEW CHIEFS APPOINTED.
Important Changes In the Sixth
Auditors Office.

Auditors Office.
Sixth Auditor Castle has made two more
changes among the chiefs of division in his
Office. Mr.. A. Clements has been promoted
to be chief Of the collecting division, In
place of NJ. F. Eggerman, and D. w. Dun
can has been made chief of the bookkeep-
ing division, in place Of D. H. Fenton.
Mr.. Clements, who succeeds Mr.. Egger-
man, has been a clerk in the Office of the
sixth auditor since 1869. He has military
record, having served in the navy during
the civil war. Mr.. Eggerman was appoint
ed to his place in the Office of the sixth
auditor during the first part Of the last ad-
ministration. He Is now reduced to a clerk
ship.
Mr.. Duncan, who succeeds Mr.. Fenton as
chief of the bookkeeping division, has been
a clerk in the office about fifteen years.
Mr.. Fenton was appointed to Office during
the last administration.
sixth Auditor Castle has placed Mr.. Fen
ton in charge of all cases in which his
Office is concerned which are pending in
United States courts throughout the coun-
try, relating to bondsmen of defaulting
postmasters and contractors in which the
amount involved Is over half million dol
lars. Many OF these cases have been pend
ing a number of years, and Mr.. Fenton has
been assigned to take charge of them on
account of his special knowledge Of such
matters
Some weeks ago Aud1tor Castle notified
between seventy and eighty clerks of his
office to show cause why they should not
be reduced. About forty Of these cases
have been acted upon, half of this num-
ber being reduced about 500 per annum
each. the promotions 10 fill their places in
most cases being of clerks who were re-
duced during the last administration with
out being given any notice of such action
before 1t was taken, and having no oppor-
tunity to make a defense Of any charge
against them. II there were any charges.
In the other half Of these forty cases
examined no cause for reductions was
found. The majority Of those promoted
as result Of reductions have been ex-
Unicn soldiers.
The remainder of the cases will be acted
upon In the near future.
