Alger not get out of the office his con-
tinuance in which is grave public
danger? Why does the president permit
him to remain? Not only does every pro-
fessional soldier know, but every business
man knows, that first-rate administrative
capacity is needed at the head of de-
partment which is to organize, arm,
equip, clothe, and feed 100000 men, and
which is to keep increasing numbers OF
them supplied with what is necessary at
the distance of hundreds or thousands of
miles from the shores of their own coun-
try. 1t is impossible that this work
should be-done by a department of which
it has already had to do. The president
is conscientious man. and he VIII feel
keenly his own responsibility for every
American life that is needlessiy ana
avoidably sacrificed. Does he. can he,
imagine that there is no better way to
avoid 3 useless waste of life than to re-
tain General Alger at the head OF the
war department?

The Mystery Revealed.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Sept. 26.-All
those implicated in the Emma Gill
murder are under arrest, save the per-
son whose hand brought an untimely
end to the young victim. That person,
the police say, is Mrs. Nancy Guilford.
Detectives are on her trail, and her ar
rest is hourly expected. In addition to
Harry Oxlay's confession of completely
in the crime, Rosa Drayton and her
daughter Clara, lsuudress and house
maid, respectively, in the employ OF
Nancy Guilford, confessed this morning
to that portion of the crime with which
they were acquainted. The woman q
white skirt corresponding with the size
worn by Miss Gill q, pair of bloody
shoes, belonging to Mrs. Guilford; one
OF Oxley's cards, and rope and twioe,
the same as that used to tie up the
bundles, are among the late discoveries
found in Mrs. Guilford's home.
Harry Oxley, OF Southngton, who is
alleged to nave paid DR.. Nancy Gull
ford, for performing criminal opera
ton on Emma Gill, was re arrested to-
day on the charge Of manslaughter.
Howard Guernsey, his companion,
whom the police say furnished the
funds, was also served with o warrant
charging him with the same crime.
Oxley had been under arrest on the
charge of attempting to procure an
abortion. His bail was 81 500. On the
new charge no bail has been set.
Guernsey was released Saturday on
$500 bonds on the original charge as
also filed against Oxley. He was
brought in this morning and after being
re-arrested was released on the original
bail. Frederick Welsh, aged about "a
years, son of Alderman Wallace w.
Welsh, was arrested this morning,
pending an investigation. This young
man was brought before Sup't. Birm-
ingham soon after the Gill woman's
dsmembered body was found in Yellow Mil
pond. lie made himself conspicuous owing
to his attentions to Eudora Guilford, daugh-
ter of the notorious DR.. Guilford. 1t has
been said that Welsh was engaged to Mis-:
GuIford. Extradition papers were made ou
to-day for the return of Miss Guilford to thi:
city from Emira where she is under arrest
for alleged completely in the crime.

HARMONY in Republican Camp.

SARATOGA, n. Y, Sept. 26-Black
men, Platt men and Roosevelt boom
ers are getting together to-day and
shaking hands. Rumors OF war to the
knife are heard no more. The talk is
OF peace and the drift of events here is
in tue direction of harmony. The con-
vention tomorrow may be love feast
and if there is any bitterness over re-
suits, it will not be serious enough to
lose a vote for the republican ticket.
Gov. Black this morning pronounced his
fight hopeless. Some of his friends ad-
mitted that he would have less than
500 votes in the convention, The party
leaders said this morning that Colonel
Roosevelt would be nominated by 8
majority SO large that motion to
make it unanimous would probably be
made by the Black forces before the
roll call was completed.
Timothy L. Woodruff is to be nomi-
mated for Lieutenant Governor. The
platform affirms the national policy OF
1897, and indorses the administration
of President Mckinley and Governor
Black. Inc plank on nallonal eA-
pansion is not yet finished, but it will
insist upon holding all that has been
won from Spain. There is no sort of
question but that Roosevelt is eligible
aud no legal proceedings in regard to
the legality of his nomination or cleo
ton will be instituted.
Senator Platt has decided on the
following ticket: For Governor, Colo
mel Theodore Roosevelt, of Nassau; for
Lieutenant Governor, Timothy l.
Woodruff, of Kings; for Comptroller,
Colonel VIM. j. Morgan, of Erie; for
Secretary of State, John T. Melon
ough, of Albany; for Attorney-Gene-
raj, John G. Davies, of Oneida: for State
Treasurer. John P. Jacket of Cayuga;

PARIS, Sept. 26.-The ministers, after
long discussion at the cabinet council
this morning, finally decided in favor of
revision of the Dreyfus case. 1t is ru-
mored that all of the members of the
cabinet with the exception of N. Sar-
rien, minister of justice, were in favor
of revision.
The council was unanimous in its de-
cision to hand over to the court of cas-
sation the entire Dreyfus dossier.
There was lively demonstration when
the decision became known to the pub
lie and cries of give revision !" Vive
Brisson ~ "Vive Picquart" etc., we're
heard everywhere. The council also
decided to send instructions all over the
country to treat vigorously any persons
attacking the army through the press or
at public meetings. There was en- ex-
traordinary scene of excitement on the
Bourse this morning over the action OF
the cabinet council upon the question OF
the revision of the Dreyfus case.
PARIS. Sept. 26.-When the decision
of the cabinet council in the Dreyfus
flair was announced to-day, 200
journalists of all political creeds as
$, mbled in the court yard of the home
office and raised tremendous cheers
aud cries of "Viye revisionm The
crowd outside cheered the ministers as
they drove away from the council.
President Faure returned to Paris this
afternoon.
LONDON, Sept. 26.-The Dreyfus
case is now before the highest French
court, which will probably decide upon
revision in some form. President
Faure has been an anti.revisionist.
Should be regard the decision of the
cabinet council as one making it incum-
bent upon him to resign there will be
an overturn in 24 hours. The Senate
aud Chamber of Deputies would then
Immediately convene and re-elect
President Faure by large majority.
Should Faure then appoint strong
military cabinet, revision of the Drey-
fus case would be farther of than ever.

ALL THE sins of commission and omis-

ALLrHE sins of commission and omls-
sion committed by people in the service
of the War Department during the late
Spanish war can be legitimately attrib
uted to republican institutions, under
which every man has the right to seek
his own political preferment in his own
way. Under such government those
having power naturally desire to retain
it, and therefore, and also, naturally,
are subject the the pulls" OF those
whose influence they imagine can help
them; and it is owing to such pulls
that competent and efficient men are
overlooked, and Incompetent and incl
ficlent officers appointed. 1t has been
so from the beginning and will be until
the end.

New York Democrats.

NEW YORK. Sept. 26.-Democratic
politicians at the Hoffman House heard
this morning that the republicans were
laying plans for love feast at Saratoga,
but were inclined to believe that har-
mouy, even if secured at Saratoga,
would only be on the surface. The
split between Black and Platt, they say,
was too wide to admit of being closed
before election day. The demo.
Gratis see nothing but harmony
for their convention. Van Wyck's
name remains at the top of the slate.
There are some, however: who
would prefer Danforth, Herrick, or
some other up State man. These claim
that local pride is greater force in the
smaller cities than here and that as the
republicans will likely pick their man
from below the Harlem the democrats
should go above it. They fear repub-
licans will allege that Van Wyck
would try to "Tammanyize" the State.
