between the two hostile armies, anu
General Washington had as yet no sys-
tenn established for getting informa-
ton of the enemy's movements and
intentions. He never needed such in
formation so much as at that crisis.
What would General Howe do next?
If he crossed at He'll Gate, the Ameri-
can army, too small in numbers, and
defeated the week before, might be
caught on Manhattan Island as in a
trap, and the issue Of the contest
might be made to depend upon sim
gle battle; for in such circumstances
defeat would involve the capture Of the
whole army. And yet General Wash
ington was compelled to confess:
eve can not learn, nor have we been
able to procure the least information
OF late"
Therefore he wanted a man. He
wanted an intelligent man, cool-head-
ed, skillful, brave, to cross the East
River to Long Island, enter the enc
my's camp, and get information as to
his strength and intentions. He went
to Colonel Knowlton, commanding
remarkably efficient regiment from
CONNECTICUT, and requested him to as
certain If this man so sore needed
could be found in his command. Col
Onel Knowlton called his officers to-
gether, stated the wishes Of General
Washington, and, without urging the
enterprise upon any individual, left the
matter to their reflections.
Captain Nathan Hale, a brilliant
youth Of 81, recently graduated from
Yale college, was one of those who re-

reached conclusion. He was of the

England, and one Of the best Of the

THEATRICAL.

At the beginning of the present CEN

Otis SINNERS new play Prince Ru.
dolph, )" which he will present at the New
National Theatre. is laid, The story OF
the play is founded upon the theme of
one OF Robert Louis Stevenson's earlier
novels. Rudolph Wilhelm, Prince Of
Kronfeld, has, prior to the opening Of
the play, been married to Edora, the
daughter OF neighboriDg Grand Duke,
and, after the bonds were securely
fastened, both parties discover that the
marriage is irksome. The Prince has
appointed his wife regent Vith full
powers, and Is himself seldom seen at
court. Things have drlited on until the
good name Of the Princess becomes
seriously involved with that of her
Prime Minister, This the Prince learns
early in the action Of the play. There
has been a chance meeting between
husband and wife awaV from the en-.
vironment OF the court and he has found
her charming, and he also learns of the
double dealing of his Prime Minister and
that both the Princess and himself are
not unpopular with their SUBJECTS. Upon
his return to the palace, Rudolph, for
the first time in the history of his reign,
presides at a meeting OF the council

interference-and the knowledge is also
brought to her that the Prince intends
revoking her powers as regent-at the
instigation OF the Prime Minister, signs
a vibrant for the arrest Of her husband.
The warrant IS executed; Rudolph and
his cousin are taken prisoners and are
conveyed 70 the fortress prison Of the
principality, Meanwhile, the revolution
has become fact; the Princess is driven

for her husband s release, which IS de-

An Adventurous Career.

The State Department has been
informed through Consul General
Convey at Kanagawa, Japan, Of the
death at that place OF the interpre-
ter to the consulate, man who
has held the position since 1859.
His name was Joseph Heco, and,
although a Japanese by birth, he
was a naturalized citizen OF the
United States and had had an ad-
venturous career. He is credited
with the publication Of the first
newspaper in Japan. Heco when
a boy in the latter part of the If

Yokohama from a visit to Toxic,
was blown away to sea. The junk
drifted along across the Pacific for
over fifty days, when the Japanese
were taken of by the bark Auck-
land and brought to San Francisco.
There Heco was taken IN cnarge
by the collector of the port and
was aiterward made the Protege

Democrats should Make No

1t is with painful surprise that in
the long list of officers for the new
government of the City Of New
York the name OF Anthony Eick-
hof1 is missed. He is one Of the
iew Democrats representing our
element Of citizens. oi an almost
national reputation. His services
may be needed in the next State

was robbed OF two years ofhis term
as Fire Commissioner by the Re-

- Friendly Call"

The Administration proclaims
the sending OF the "Maine" to Ha-
Vana as a friendly call" That
call would not have been made, if
the German scholarships, fresh from
Porte au Prince, had not shown
how to make it.
Now the Spanish Government is
not going to be behind in politeness
and will return the call by sending
a much larger man-of-war than the
"Maine" to our ports.
We hope the Administration will
treat the Spanish man-of-war with
the same hospitality it does Presi-
dent Dole. because Spain might be
offended If her vessel should not be
treated in a royal style by the
cowardly nation of shop keepers. "

The Immigration bill is a Re-
publican Know Nothing measure
emanating from New England
League Of eleven persons.
Let the Republicans pass it in
the House as they did in the SEN
ate. Follow your Senators and
vote against it aud leave all the
credit for its passage to the ReDub-

throw your votes away for a Re-
publican measure. They do not
need your votes, for they can and
will pass the bill without your
aid. as their maj is large
enough to adopt it.
If you act sensibly and stick to
the traditional policy ofyour party,
there is no doubt that the next
House will be Democratic, as but
few OF those who will have voted
for that bill will be reelected.
Those Of you who vote tor
the bill, will help the Republicans,
and greatly weaken the Democrats.

the main issue in the next cam

The Boston Immigration Restric-
tton League

The Boston Immigration Restric-
tiOn League
is very active. Its Secretary, Pres
colt F. Hall, is in the city and work
ing for the Lodge bill. In letter
to the Washington Post, he attacks
DR.. Senner, because, when Immi-
grafton Commissioner in New
York, he himself favored an edu-
cational test. He cites from the
Doctors last German report against
the bill, which, as we stated before,
is an imprudent production, and
does more harm than good, and
charges that the German-Ameri-
cans are not opposed to the Lodge
bill; that many signed those pro-
tests without knowing what they
did; that the bill is not against the
Germans and Scandinavians, etc.
Our answer is: The above al
legations OF Mr.. Hall are false and
so many insults to the German
Americans.
Even if il does not touch them to
the same extent as other nation
alities, they are not stupid enough
to forget that, as there is legisla-
ton enough to keep out undesira-
BILE immigrants, the Lodge bill is
unnecessary, because it aims at
more. 1t is a revival OF old Know
Nothingism and will be followed
bv other bills OF that character. II
is a Republican political measure
and, If successful now, will become
a standing issue with that party.
The German Americans and
their papers are, therefore, more
united than ever before. The same
can be said OF the Scandinavians
though their Senator, Knute Mel
son, was paired off in favor of the
bill, for which he should bC
severely censured and punished.

THE NEW ENGLAND CoTroN SrRIKK.
Nearly 100000 cotton workers in New
England are fighting a reduction in
wages and an oppressive system Of fines
AT New Bedford $1,000 If them are out
on a strike. The workers insist that
under the old schedule Of wages they
were only able to live in the barest.
scantiest manner, and that to accept the
new, which involves q reduction of
about ten per cent, means absolute
starvation. The companies, on the
other hand, insist that over production,
Southern competition and lack of de-
mand for goods make il impossible for
them to continue the old scale.
The strike, coming as it does at time
of supposed business revival. has at
tracted much attention. President Nc
Kinley is reported by New York paper
to have said in an interview on last
Saturday that remedy was to be found
IN the enactment OF law restricting
immigration.
Seven OF the eight mills involved IN
the strike paid last year dividends on
their stock amounting to S4s5. 500. Ex.
cluding one OF the mills, the average
rate of dividends was mine and two
thirds per cent. Numerous officers
connected with the companies draw
salaries ranging from 5000 to $4,000
per annum, No stock Of any of the mill
companies is for sale, but some Of the
sales latest known to have been made
commanded premium Of Iss per cent,
or, in the common way OF speaking,
sold at ass.

We cannot renew the lease. Should

on or before expiration OF the lease.
Yours respectfully,
THOMAS II. ST. JOHN, Agent.
For VIM, Mckinley and Ida S. Mckinley
The Toice, the prohibition paper.
adds:
The President OF the United States is
trying to unload at least one OF his two
saloon properties. On Jan. II his agent,
St. John. mailed to the Reymann Brewing
Company the letter given above. The
above refers to the saloon at ISo South
Market street, Canton. and has no rela-
ton to the Opera House saloon at IS
East Eighth street. in which the McKin'
leys and their close relatives own a
majority of the stock.
During the Presidential campaign of
1896 the VOfcs'S exposure of McKinleY's
saloon ownership created a tremendous
sensation. Leading Methodist clergy
men and Methodist papers as well flew
TO McKinley's rescue. AT first they
denied that Mckinley had anything to
do with the property Then they
claimed that it came into McKinley's
possession tied up with 80 year lease.
Following this so many kinds OF lease
stories we're sent out to the Mckinley
newspapers, that the various Christian
4AdDOcakeS got all mixed up in their
stories. Accordingly DR.. c. w. Smith,
editor of the PittsbuTg Christian AGV0-
cate, went to Canton to straighten the
matter out. Dr. Smith announced that
in November, 1886, James A. Saxton,
then Governor), the father OF Mrs. Nc
Kinley, leased to the Reymann Brewing
| Company. of Wheeling, w Va a small
vacant lot in Canton for a term of years
from Jan. I. 1887, to Oct I, I89a-the
ground rent being SIS a year. The
records OF the county treasurer
show that it was promptly opened
as a saloon and has been rum
ming as such ever since. By
the death of lanes Saxton, the property
became Mrs. McKinley's IN fee simple in
1887, tho she had an interest in 1t as an
heir before that time. According to DR.
Smith, after the expiration of the
Saxton lease (1Se2), Gov. Mckinley
agent. Mr. St. John, drew no a new lease
for two years, from Jan I, 1898, to Jan
I, 1895, with the privilege of three year.

Altho the saloon was on the same
street with Mr. McKinley's home anC
only few blocks away, and Mr.. Nc
Kinley had been receiving the rent io
three years, DR.. Smith claims that h,
did not know il was a saloon, and thu
unwittingly signed the lease. Mr.. SmitI
added: THE property is, by hi
unwitting act, put beyond his cOntro

Probably Mr.. Mckinley expect
a big price lor his lot from tn,

The whole case seems to rest o
whether or not Mckinley can persuad
