ARRIVAL OF GEN. LEE.
He Expects to BE Ordered to Cub
Shortly

Shortly.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee arrived In Washing
ton last night, was driven directly to the
Shoreham and will go to Richmond this
morning. Thence he will go to Savannah,
the headquarters of the present Seventh
Army Corps, and will be ready to lead his
command to Cuba, as he phrased 1t last
. night, "at the touch of the button"
Gen. Lee was about to put on his over
coat when the reporter asked him to tell
the reason for his presence In Washing
ton. The General put into his mouth the
velvet collar of his coat, bit down on it,
sustained the weight of the garment with
his teeth and with his jaws cienched said

orecast of the result is the widest

forecast of the result is the widest
guesswork.
There is nearly always a good deal Of
betting on the New York elections. A
part of this is for political effect. AS
suming that there are voters who are
much like sheep and prefer to go with
the greater number, the managers in
vest money in betting as they do in
campaign banners and stump orators.
A part of it is the effect of passion.
When excited partisans are met by ar
answer, they exclaim: Money talks.
I'll bet you," etc. Then there are men
who make wagers with or without re-
gard to their personal sentiments and
chiefly for revenue. just as they bet
on horse races, baseball games, and the
lil1e-spor.ing men who live by betting
and business men who speculate in
stocks. These form their opinions on
the best information to be obtained, but
as they are found on both sides, 1t Is
obvious that there is no sure source of
knowledge For this reason it is folly
for any man to bet unless he can well
afford to lose.
Before the New York campaign fairly
began the betting seemed to ia
vor the Democrats. This was the
result of the belief that Alger-
ism had made an impression on the
Republican masses. as no doubt it had {:
and also it was due in part to the ap-
parent depression of Republican lead
ers. who suffered through the apathy of
their voters. The furious campaign of
the Republicans, which is more ener-
the current of opinion, and there were
even odds offered in favor of
Roosevelt. Once more, however
the tide seems to have turned

The real or seeming enthusiasm of the
audiences that were addressed by De-
pew, Roosevelt. and others greatly en-
couraged them, but. this is fully match
ed by the reception of Justice Var
Wyck, not only in New York City. bu'
also in the interior. For the remaining
| days there will be more ginger in the
Democratic campaign.
A careful review of the field leads t,
the conclusion that, while the condi
! tions favor the Democrats, and while
with equal work on the two sides, {
Democratic victory would be sure, ther,
is still a possibility of Roosevelts elec

cess. both in the State and in the doubt
full Congressional districts, seems th
I more reasonable not merely from thu
superior advantages of the Democrats

of the popular mind. Whatever the re
suit. a great deal of money will be a;Ol

AristOcrats.

(From the Minneapolis Tribune)
Every tribe clan and nation has its aristocraoy,
based on claims diverse the people who as

the Sioux Indians, the patrician, to whom all bow
the knee in adoring reverence is the b-ave who
carries the most scalps of slain enemies at his
belt With some aborigines the magnate of the
tribe is he who has gathered the largest store Of
wampum; with others, it is the who is the
most valiant in the chase. most expert in the
war dance, most decked out with paint, beads,
and feathers The one highest in position among
the cannibal islanders is he who has assimiated
the most slices of tender and juicy Christian.
Coming to the hereditary aristocracy of the old
world we find that it rests mainly the Prov
ess of robber knights who by the might of the
strong arm ages ago, wrested power, wealth. and

The death OF Col. George E. Waring
comes as a shock to the public, which
was Informed only yesterday morning that
he was in no danger. 1t is strange that
he should have given no sign of the grav-
ity of the disease until an hour before he
expired. He was the most thorough and
experienced. as well as authoritative, OF
all American sanitary engineers, and has
been known 10 the profession for many
years. He was brought into the notice OF
the general public when he was made su-
perintendent of street cleaning in New
York. He revolutionized the system OF
street cleaning, and his methods have been
adopted in Washington and all other large
cities. His journey to Cuba 10 select the
camping grounds for American troops ex-
posed him to yellow fever. The disease
has been of a mild type, and the mortality
has been insignificant, so there were nc
reasons to fear fatal termination in his
case, especially as he reached New York
before the malady reached its worst
stage.

Colonel Roosevelt Mt SAN Juan.
From Harper.s WeekIv.)


One finds il harder and harder as the campaign
in New York State progresses, to locate the line
which separates Col Roosevelt's share in baating
Spain from what was done to that end by the
other land forces of the United States The
colonel's sdmring friends keep showing the
boundary of his renown farther and farther along
incidentally leaving less and less credit to the
regular army, the gallant correspondents. and his
other helpers.
The ignorant reader wonders whether there
were no surviving offices OF the Ninth and Tenth
Cavalry and why they are not entitled to appear
as part owners OF the victory OF San Juan More
over there are close students of our recent mill
tary history who find in Gen Ecat's report that
a man named Hawkins, an obscure general in the
regular army, who commanded brigade, cap
tured San Juan Hill with the Sixth and Sixteenth
regular infantry, with extremely valuable assis-
tsnce from the Ninth, Thirteenth, and Twenty
fourth regular infantry. No doubt Col Roosevelt
rode up one segment of the hill and Gen. Hawkins
another. At any rate. readers of Gen. Kent's
report maintain that Hawkins and his men had
something to do with the San Juan victory; in-
deed the portion OF credit that they assign to
Gen. Hawkins is Of appalling size. and not to
be reconciled with the dimensions of the piece
which the colonel's friends claim for him, ex-
cept on the theory that the aggregated parts of
that victory are much larger than the whole No

cording to his lights and abilities volunteer

tion of the idea that he was the handspring of
the American forces at Santiago, and that if he
had broken, the wheels Of our military machine
would have ceased to go round. No doubt many
of these misleading impressions will be set right
in the war articles for the magazines, the COM
position of which now engages the colonels scant

conspiracy. Let us, in conjunction with
our readers, resolve ourselves into
Hanna Relief Commission for the pur-
pose of asking questions. Not with the
idea of the Alger Relief Commission, to
cover up guilt and whitewash the
guilty, but to expose sin and smoke out
the evildoers. We will begin the ser
vices with a few mild and general in
terrogatories:
If hundreds of thousands of dollars
have been made monthly, by persons in
official position. or their relatives or
partners, out of decomposed meat and
musty canned goods contracts, who got
the plunder?
If camp sites We're selected In un-
sanitary localities, remote from wood
and water and reached by only one rail-
way each, and such railways made mill
lions out of the deals, dividing royalty.
who got the money?
If the War Department bought steam
ers. condemned tramps and old hulks
for use as transports. at prices con.
elusive of collusion and corruption
somewhere, who benefited by the rob-
berry?
If soldiers and hospital patients were
dragged over the country in box, coal
and cattle cars at Pullman palace coach
rates, and railway corporations divided
with certain persons the value differ
ence between accommodations furnish
ed and those paid for, who are these
miserable thieves?
If the palatial yachts of millionaires
were bought for use as auxiliary cruis-
ers and dispatch boats, at several times
their market value. and enormous
commissions" were made by individ-
uals confidentially close to known pub
lie men. who are those rascally go
betweens?
If several thousand army mules at
Chickamauga were sold at auction for
forty dollars apiece, while the Govern
ment on the same day was buying other
mules at the North at one hundred and
twenty dollars a head, and paying for
ty dollars for their transportation to
Huntsville. only an easy drive from
Chickamauga, what favorite Algerian
contractor or ring absorbed the Doodle 2
If the peace settlement with Spain
IS to be made on the basis of a national
guaranty of forty million dollars of Phil
ippine six per cent bonds, which would
thereby become gilt edged and worth
at least fifty-six millions to the holders,
the same being the Hanna -McCook-At-
kins outfit or their associates and
friends. who have picked them up at
much less than half their face value.
who will get the loot?
We can answer this last question in
our preliminary series in the brief
words; NO ONE! A treaty of peace,
Involving such a barefaced and in
famous crime against national honor
and public decency, will never come
nearer to ratification than the Senate
waste basket. Out of ninety senators

ty-one are honest men and neither
thieves nor receivers of stolen goods
