DE LONE ON MCKINLEY.
The Spanish Minister'S Opinion OF
the American President.


New York, Feb. S.-The letter which
| follows is translated from the Spanish,
and was received today from Havana
| by the delegation of the Republic of
Cuba in this city. The original, as ap-
pears on the face of it, purports to be
a letter written by Don Enrique Dupuy
Don Jose Cauaiejas. editor of FL Her
aldo de Madrid. in which the Spanish
ambassadors opinion of the President
of the United States is set forth in un-
fiattering terms.
Cubans familiar with the handwrit-
ing and the signature of Senor De
LONE say that this letter is written
and signed by him. The paper is that
of the Spanish legation.
How il came into the hands of the
Cuban delegation, when II was address,
ed from Washington to Havana, be-
fore Senor Canalejas left Cuba for
Spain. is explained as an act OF pa
triOtism by a CUBAN secret agent III
Havana, who, knowing the contents OF
the letter, and desiring to expose to
the world the character of Spanish dip
lomaey. stole the letter i'm Havana at
the risk of his own life.
The original text is at Fifty-sixth
street. in this city, and the Cubans are
willing to have it examined by ex-
perts. Photograph copies were taken
today by several persons, and many
people who know the handwriting of
Senor Dupuy De LONE went to the Of
flee, attracted by curiosity to see the
letter They all declared it genuine.
The letter. although not dated, an
omission very common among Span
iards. appears from its New Years
greeting TO belong to the month Of
January surmise confirmed by the
time at which Senor Amblard, mentiOn-
ed in the letter, left New York for Ha-
wanna, and the time at which SenQr
Canalejas was there.

RATHER THAN AN EXPOSITION.

1t has been understood that an expos
ition was foreordained as the proper
celebration for the Ohio centennial, but
it seems that after all the question is
in doubt. The doubtful situation
therefore, gives the people time to
think. 1t is to be hoped that the Ohio
Centennial commission will develop
some new ideas in regard to celebra-
tion. To fall back upon tine scheme of
expositions denotes paucity of ideas.
Anybody could have suggested an ex-
position but nobody in the State wants
one. This sort of celebration is a
back number. Ohio has had surfeit
of expositions. There was some reason
for Atlanta and Nashville having this
form of celebra tion. They were de-
signed to show the progress made in
the Southern States. There may be
some reason for the Omaha exposition,
but there is absolutely none for a CEN
tennial exposition in Ohio. After all,
what will be left when hundreds of
thousands of dollars are expended and
much labor given? Nothing but
memory-probatly of disastrous fnan-
cial results. Public buildings are
scarce in Ohio. If the State should
erect at its capital grand public build
ing to be dedicated in the year 1908,
'nhe would have some permanent monu-
ment of her first hundred years of life.
Let the commission develop sotae form
of centennial celebration which will
have permanent character and which
will in measure repay the State for
great outlay Of money. y.-Times Star.

ARRESTED AT BEVERLY.

Two Young Men Taken to Fairfield
County on the Charge of Burglary.
The village of Beverly. twenty miles
up the Muskingum, was thrown into a
fever of excitement Tuesday afternoon
by the arrest of Herbert Miller and
frank Devol, two we'll kno Sn young
men, each about 25 years of age. The
charge against them is the serious one
of burglary, alleged to have been COM
mitted recently in Fairfield county.
They had been shadowed for some
time by railroad detective from Lam
caster, who handcuffed them and left
for that city Tuesday evening.
1t is said that the case against them
is very strong and that much of the
stolen property has been discovered
in the hands of persons to whom they
sold it The charge made against
them is that of entering and burglar
izing a country store in Fairfield
county. Since the arrest of the young
men their names have been freely used
in connection with other burglarles of
more or less Importance committed in
the vicinity of Beverly, the most re-
cent of which was the blowing open of
the safe of Langenberg's grocery.
Young Miller come to Beverly year
or SO ago, his home having been orig
inally in Muskingum county. Devol
has always resided in Beverly and is
the son of a man who was for many
years the leading merchant in that
town. Both are typical examples of
the effects Of idleness and bad associ-
ties.

A NOVEL PLAN
For Improvement of Capitol Proposed by
Senator Miller.

| Senator Miller.
Senator Miller of Licking is prepar
ing a bill for the Improvement of the
statehouse.
1t is decidedly novel plan that Mr.,
Miller thinks of having the Legislature
adopt The great massive pile of stone
is to be raised bodily, and while it is
suspended in midair, as it were, u story
is to be built underneath it. And while
all this is going on there is to be no in
terruption of the work in or occupancy
of any of the state departments. The
! improvement is TO be completed in
three months.
Mr.. ii. Sheeler, Chicago contractor,
who makes speciality of moving and
elevating large buildings, is to under
take the work.
This Is how he intends doing it: Be-
ginning at the terrace just at the head
of the steps leading to the first story,
he will remove the building from the
ba,e. Then the steps and the terrace
part will be carefully covered with
thick plank. The material required
for the undertaking involves a small
forest of timber and several thousand
screws. When the actual work of lift
ing the mighty building is begun, 1000
men will be at work for perhaps three
weeks. The immense structure, cover
ing more than two acres and weighing
tens of thousands of tons, perhaps mil
lions, will slowly rise at one and the
same time in its every part without a
jar, swiftly and silently.
The lower story is to be more mod
ern, because the upper stories being re-
moved from the general observation,
will attract less attention.
The dome would be a thing Of the
past in its present form, and the stone
stairways up which the weary public
now tolls will be displaced by modern
elevators. All the upper rooms and
chambers will remain as they are,
though such changes could be made as
are desirable, SO far as the location of
the different Offices was concerned.
The Introduction of the bill in the
legislature is likely to precipitate con-
siderable argument. Mr.. Sheeler
agrees to furnish bond in any amount
for the satisfactory completion of the
work. The improvement is estimated
To cost S30O OOO.

FOUND WANDERING

Was the Crazy Old Man From Ok Bow
Deserted BY His Son He Goes to Jail.
Old man Keener, whose son blew in
all his money, Monday night, leaving
his crazy father stranded here, was
found wandering on Second street last
night by Officer Watson and was taken
before Squire Drennen. He refused to
retarn to his hotel and was sent to Jail.
His undutiful son deserted the old
man yesterday, returning hone.
The son-in-law also returned to Ok
Bow yesterday to get some funds.
DR.. Stout swore out lunacy warrant
for Keener and Drs. Stout and Patton
were appointed to examine him. The
son-in-law promised to return here to-
morrow in telephone message received
today.-Parkersburg Journal.

1T WAS ABOUT a DOG.
An Apparently Earnest Argument
with n Continuous Beginninr.

An Apparently Earnest ArEumen
with n Continuous Beginninr.
The man who wus waiting for a train
and bad nothing to do with an hour
walked down the avenue to see what be
could see, says the New York Sun. On
n corner stood four young men engaged
in apparently earnest argument. The
tall, slender one in light coat waggled
n long forefinger at the others COL
lectively, and said:
"Now, you take a dawg-"
"Do' wan no dog" put in one of the
others.
"Wha' kin dog?" asked another.
The tall one Strengthened up. wabbled
bit, and returned to the argument.
"Yon take dawg," he said.
"Whozh dog?" asked one of the other
three.
The man waiting for train walked
on out of hearing. He made several
blocks down the avenue and then turned
back. The four young men still stood
on the corner, and as he came near he
heard the tall one say:
Now, you take dwag."
"Yellow dog?" asked one of the
others.
"Wha'd take a dog for?" asked an.
other.
The man walked on quickly. and as he
passed out of sound the last he heard
was:
"Iou take dwag."
Perhaps by now the argument has
reached specifications.

Big as the Niagara scheme is, work
has just commenced upon still larger
scheme Of water power development
near Massena, on the ST. Lawrence river,
United States of America, says Cham

here 100000 horse power by taking adj

tween the st. Lawrence river and the
Grass river, flowing nearly parallel

cUual is to be cut across the Intervening
plateau, and fall of wnter SO feet in
height thus obtained on the banks of
the Grass river. The latter river will
itself form the tail race" of the power
station.
This scheme dwarfs the Niagara one,
since not only do the plans provide for
4 greater amount of power, but man is
going to do what nature has done for
him at Niagara-na mely. provide the

carrying out this scheme has been pro-

An interesting occurrence of tin ore

large hill of basalt. E. f. Pitman, the
government geologist who examined
the occurrence, considers that the
basalt filed what was originally an
oval-shaped depression.
The gravel rests on granite, and gran
lite can be traced entirely around the
basalt. The diamonds are white and of
good quality, and it is thought that
when the gravel is drained the district
will make considerable production.
