WHITE HOUSE CALLERS,
Senator PIatt Presents the Grievance
of Commodore Philip.

Senator Platt called at the White House
this morning with Commodore Philip, who
commanded the Texas when Cervera's fleet
was destroyed. The commodore complains
that the manner in which he was promo
ted by the Navy Department did not ad-
vance him as much as the President d.
rected. Senator Platt feels the same way
and intends to take an interest in the case
to the extent of trying to obtain what he
thinks Commodore Philip deserves. The
President will take the matter under con-
sideration. From the White House the
senator went TO the Navy Department for
conference with Secretary Long.
Representative Hurley of Brooklyn was
also at the White House, but was not in
Senator Platt's party.
Senator Plat, when asked about the po-
litical outlook in New York, said: "Roose-
have no doubt. The republican party is
thoroughly united and harmonious. / do
not think the Raines law will affect the
chances of Colonel Roosevelt"
Representative Hurley expressed the same
views Senator Platt. He said that the
Raines law will not hurt Colonel Roosevelt
and that he will be elected by rousing
majority.
Col. j. H. EstilI, editor of the Savannah
News, was one of President McKinley's
callers today. Colonel Estil is here with
his wife attending the Episcopal conven-
ton
llss of Michigan, two of the youngest and
most active republicans in the House called
on President Mckinley today to tell him
of the sentiment of the people in the west
Both men agreed in telling the President
that the people of their respective states
are expansionists and believe in keeping
every foot of territory over which the
American flag has been placed. This feel
ing is growing every day, they said, and is
not confined TO men of any one party.
Messrs. Foss and Corliss said that the
Low nl,-,s. g. -
never greater or more sincere. THE
charges of neglect Of soldiers are doing no
harm to the republican party said Mr.
Foss. They have only resulted in stirring
up the veterans of the civil war. These old
soldiers are mounting the stump and telling
about what they went through"

he had just received a dispatch from Agent

from the scene of the battle and reported
that Maj. Wilkinson, one sergeant and four
privates were killed. Also that the deputy
marshal was wounded and an Indian police
killed. Also that 200 troops, on the way to
the battlefield. are not enough.

The registration for the coming cleo

with that of the city election of 1896
of about 5000.
The First ward leads with a short
age of nearly 600. 1t will be seen by
comparison with the votes cast for
Doran two years ago that the falling
off is most noticeable in those dis
tricts that gave practically their en-
