Mrh Kate. Chase speasue, who Il
nidt 10 have succeeded finally in raising
tho money necessary to ave the old
Chase house at Warrington from sale
under . mortgage. spent several months
in New York two years ago trying to
accomplish this result. It was believed
then that certain members Of the Ohio
society might subscribe money enough
to secure the house from sale, but for
one reason or another that plan fell
through just when it looked most like
coming to . successful ending. Mira
Sprague was at that time indefatgable
In her efforts to secure the necessary
subscriptions and she spent the greater
part Of every day down In the business
portion Of the city going from one office
to another in the hope Of bringing the
various schemes for her relief to a final
issue. The old Chase country place is
situated on the outskirts Of Washington,
and 1t is said that the property will be
very valuable within a few years, a.
Washington is growing rapidly in its
direction. Then Mrs. sprague believes
that it will not only make a comfortable
estate for her and her daughters, but
will also repay whatever advances have
been made to secure the property from
foreclosure. Mrs sprague's means are
at present very limited and she has an
invalid daughter. One Of her daughters,
who acted for awhile in Richard Mans
fields company, soon gave up the stage
and is now married Mrs. Sprasue, who,
by the way, calls herself Mrs. Chase

Tho District Militia and the Monument,
"Not many know it, but the District
militia is entitled to the credit Of hav-
ing the Washington monument COM
pleted," remarked an old official at the
capitol to a Star reporter. "As every
one knows, or should know, the monu-
ment was an unfinished shaft for nearly
30 years. Many prominent persons
thought that an. arch would be a better
work, and some urged that the unfin-
tshed structure should be turned into
one leg Of an arch and another erected
Others were strongly opposed to the 10
cation, and it was very seriously urged
that the site should be changed. SEN
ator Morrill, led the movement for the
arch idea, and in it he had the support
Of many who thought they were artis-
tically inclined, and who thought the
day for shafts had passed away. In 1875,
the centennial year, the District militia
was stronger than it was ever before OF
since. At that time the idea of soldiery

WAR INVESTIGATION.
The Commission Will Soon Finish Its
 Labors in the West.

Chicago, Ill., November 9-By working from ten to twelve hours day the war Investigating commission has arrived near ly at the end of the list of witnesses to be heard in this city.
 The travelling of the commission has all been done at night pr. Conner says they have seen only stretch of seventy-five miles of country by daylight. Three ses- sions have been held every day except Sum- day.
 The number of witnesses summoned for examination at Detroit is comparatively small and it Is not thought that the com- mission will be compelled to remain there longer than two days, leaving for Wash ington some time on Saturday.
 At today's session Mrs. Josephine Desch, of Chicago, complained of the treatment of her son, Ludwig Desch, on his return trip from Cuba, and also while in the hos pital at Montauk, where he died. It is claimed that the body was buried without any clothing, and other charges of i'll treat ment are preferred.
 Major Stephen Baker. Fourth United infantry, who had charge of the Second brigade, Second division of the Fifth army corps while in Cuba, spoke in the highest terms of the work of the medical men of the army and also of the hospital corps. It was his opinion, however, that there was not sufficient number of doctors to look after the soldiers.
 Colonel Augustus Bainbridge, of the Fourth infantry, testified in relation to the operations in the Santiago campaign "All the time we were in Cuba" said Colonel Bainbridge, "our commissary sup plies were as good as could be expected under the circumstances I think the quartermasters department did everything it could. Medical supplies and doctors were constantly short.' The afternoon session was of informal nature. as no witnesses made their ap- pearance.
 The members of the commission left at 9:S5 for Detroit where other witnesses will be examined.

Vessels Being Put in Trim for Ser
 vice in Actual War.
A CONFERENCE WITH LooKRoY
At Algiers There is the Greatest Ac~ tivity, While All the Forts and Coast Defences Have Been
 Fully Manned.

Paris, November 9.-The Echo de Paris which says the entire French Mediterran- can squadron is ready for sea. It adds that Admiral Fournier, its commander, re- ceived cipher dispatch last evening, third-class cruiser to bank her fires and the fastest torpedo boat conveyed orders to the admiral commanding the squadron of French cruisers and torpedo boats to as- semble immediately at Toulon, where all the vessels are prepared for action and where the arsenals and ship yards have been worked all night Later 1t developed that Admiral Fournier had been sum- moned to Paris
 M. Lockroy, minister of marine, denies that there is any truth in the rumors pub- l lished by the Echo de Paris.
 Despite M. Lockroy's denial there is lit- tie doubt that the news of Frances naval preparations is in the main correct. Ad- mral Fournier has arrived in response to M Lockroy's summons and the two have already held dong conference with sev- eral admirals at the ministry of marine.
 It is rumored that M. Lockroy intends to offset the British demonstrations at Portsmouth, and it is also rumored that he will increase the French fleet at the cost of a milliard of francs Cen thousand mill lion francs) which will be obtained by a conversion of rents into PA percents. The admirals, it is understood, have reported state of readiness. At Algiers there is the greatest activity. All the forts have been fully manned and the defences improved. work in connection with the preparations.

-FOUR NEGROES LYNCHED.
Accused of Participating in the Shoot
 in gof White Men

Augusta. Ga., November 9.-A special to the Chronicle from Greenwood, s. C., says:
 A telephone message from Phoenix, the scene of the riot in this county, reports all quiet at 3 o'clock. About forty armed men are on duty there. Four negroes were lynched near Phoenix this afternoon. Posi- tive evidence was secured that they were implicated in the shooting of the white men yesterday. About 100 white men par ticpated in the lynching, and there Was no attempt at disguise or concealment.
 All is quiet here at this hour, though more trouble is expected in the Phoenix section. The efforts that have been made to prevent the bloodshcd have so far been of no avail. Public sentiment here unani- mously indorses the lynching

NEWS FROM OTHER STATES

Nashville, November 9--Complete and partial returns from eighty-four out of ninety-six counties received tonight give McMillin, democrat, an estimated majority of 3S,000 for governor These fgurez will, however. be reduced by full retz2ns and 1t seems tonight that his mats4ity will be be- tween 25,0O0 and 30.0OO. The decrease in the republican vote is so phenomenal that an accurate estimat of the total vote in the state is impossible.
 Louisville Ky, November 9.-Five repub- lican congressional nominees-Fowler, of the Second district; Creel, of the Third; Blanford, of the Fourth; Davison, of the Eighth, and Seitz, of the Tenth--wired to the Commercial, of this city. that they would contest the election on account of the Goebel election law. Pugh. in the Ninth district. has signified his intention of contesting if an investigation satisfies hm that he is elected.
 Philadelphia, November 9.-The deega- tion from Pennsylvania to the next con- gress will comprise twenty-one republicans and nine democrats. democratic gain of six. The present delegation is composed of twenty-seyen republicans and three demo- cratS.

NEW YORK.

New York November 9-The latest fig pluralitye taoin shrdlu cmfwyp vbgkqjjjp plurality in the state is not far from 20- O0O Only ten counties in the state gave Van Wyck pluralities, and they were all localities such as New York, Kings and Queens and Erie. The falling off in Roose- velt's plurality as compared with Blacks in 1896 is due to decrease in the republican vote up the state of 61 900, and in Greater New York of 62,000. Against this Van Wyck gains 10000 above the Harlem and 53OOO below it, as compared with Porter two years ago. The result in congressman in this state seems to have surprised even the democrats themselves. Nineteen of their candidates were elected, the republi- cans getting but fifteen. In the present house the New York delegation stands twenty-scven republicans to six demo- crats. In Greater New York all the demo- cratic candidates were elected.
 After the gubernatorial election as much interest was taken in the state legislature.
 Political interest frow now on will center about the senatorship and already discus sion as to the probable aspirants has be- gun. So far there is no announced candi- date, and the republican organization has not declared itself.

MINNESOTA

St. Paul, Minn. November 9.--John Lind, silver republican, with democratic and pop uIist indorsement. will have not less than 1O.W0 plurality in the state over Eustis, re- publican, but Lind is the only fusion candi- date to win. The balance of the republican ticket will be chosen by majorities even greater than that for Lind. All seven re- publican congressman have been elected. Morris, in the close Sixth district, has de- foated Charles A. 'Tonwe. silver republican, secretary of tho national silver republican party, by small majority. The legislature will be republican. but not by so great a majority as was at one time thought. Al ready 77 republicans are known to have been elected. and but 92 are needed to carry on joint ballot. As fully half of the balance are in the doubtful column, there seems no question of the reelection of Senator Davis by this Legislature.

Far from 1t. I am not refusing sympathy to the American republic in the difficulties through which it has passed. but no one can deny that it's appearance among fac tors Asiatic at all events and possibly in European diplomacy is grave and serious event which may not conduce to the inter- ests of peace, though I think in any great event it is likely to conduce to the interests of Great Britain. (Cheers)
 Nations Gradually Decaying
 "But what has impressed upon us is that the subject matter of war is terribly prevalent on all sides. We see nations de- caying whose government is so bad that they neither maintain the power of self government nor retain the affection of Its subjects and when this occurs there are always neighbors compelled by some mo- tive-it may be the highest philanthrophy, or it may be the natural desire of empire to contest as to who shall be heir to the falling nation, and that is the cause or war"
 Lord Salisbury then alluded to the rapid ity and rapacity and unexpectedness with which wars broke out, and said:
 .'If Great Britain should ever permit her sea defenses to weaken, her whole empire would come clattering to the ground. It Is, therefore, impossible in the present state and temper of the world to intermit our naval and military precautions"
 He concluded by repudiating "an sug- gestions that our preparations mean that the country is animated by the lust of conquest or love of war;" declaring that Great Britain was "only resolved to main tain the empire Britons have received rom their forefathers and to support the peace which is the sustenance of the empire"
 A great ovation from the entire assembly marked the conclusion of the premier ' speech.
 The lord mayors show today was witt messed by immense crowds of people. The enthusiasm was divided between the car representing the Soudan with soldiers of the regiments which took part in the battle of Omdurman and the car representing the English speaking races. The latter d.splay- ed among other things Britannia and Co., lumbia seated beneath canopy, while the American flag was borne by British sailor and the British flag was carried by an American sailor.

Anxiety Over Situation

London, November 10.-The Paris corre- spondent of the Daily Telegraph says:
 There is much anxiety in government circles here as to the Spanish situation. This is not because there is any fear that peace will not be concluded, for it is be- lieved that Spain and the United States are bound to agree sooner later, though now it is said that Spain requires a solation of $15000O,O00 for the Philippines, while the United States considers s70,O0O,00O ample. It is the Spanish domestic situation that inspires alarm. Senor Sagasta's govern ment is tottering. Anarchy. civil war and military dictatorship are candidates for the succession to parliamentary gov- ernment. Meanwhile Catalonia and two other provinces are demanding repatriation. France views the situation with apprehen- sion and even alarm
