In an interview 10 day Mrs DIggs
says: "A chorus OF indignation
greets the announcement that Col
Breckenridge will be brought to
Topeka Ii is no small honor be
slowed upon a man to be invited to
Kansas to speak upon so fine an
occasion. The South Is rich with
men of high character and fine gifts
Of oratory. Southern men are pre-
emiuently chlvalrous aud jealous as
defenders Of womanhood 1t passes
all comprehension why a man SO
brazenly black Ct character, so stol.
idly unrepentaut, should be selected
to faunt his fippant disregard of
decency in the presence Of Kansas
men and women.
Colonel Breckenridge grossly
misrepresents the men OF the sunny
Southland and the greatest kindness
which could be shown the gray
haired scoundrel would be to permit
the public to forget him. 1t is espe-
cially cut OF harmony with the spirit
of the occasion, where peace aud
purity are to be made the dominant
notes, that a representative of that
which is most destructive of these
qualities of human character should
be- selected as spokesman.
Without doubt the most depraved
element OF the slums Of the cities
will be overJoysd to find their course
indicated by the honor bestowed
upon one OF their kind, but alas for
the panied sensibilities Of those who
must bear IN silence the affront upon
decency and deport themselves to-

Chicago, ILL.,, Sept. S.-Joseph
Leiter is now free from all debts
growing out of his big wheat deal.

The last settlement has just been
made and l am now out Of the thing

"All my wheat is sold. Mr.. Armour
and Mr.. Peavey were instrumental
in disposing of my cash wheat in
this country Nearly all the wheat
I had in the United States was sold
here and the wheat stocks in Europe
were sold there.

that the campaign could not be cen
tinued l made up my mind to give
all my time to satisfying the claims

and all other creditors have been
satisfied. Il Is my intention to see
that nv father does not have to sac

Tampa Correspondence Baltimore Herald.
The American army has adopted
the rebel yell.
The famous war cry of the Con-
federacy is alive to-day, but it is the
boys in blue who unlimber their
vocal cords and screech like lot of
old 'rebs" as they dash to the
charge.
The men of Massachusetts, yell
just as Justly as the men south of
Mason and Dixon line. Ia fact, the
Northern troops. and particularly
those from New York, seem to place
great confidence in the horrible
screech. The roar and rouzIng

'61 who were battling for the pres
erva'ion of the union aeemes to

1t has been succeeded by the
blood.curdling yell which the wear.
ers of the ragged jacket" made
heard far above the roar of the can
non or the bark of the musket In
'98 the old rebel yell is heard agar.
1t is not generally known that yell
ing when the charge is on il pre-
scribed in the army regulations.
"When from 80 to SO yards from
the enemy, emit a yell" saith the
drill-book, and the yell that fills the
air is the plain, old fashioned rebel
'Y-Yo-Yo-Wo-Wo!' The New
Workers turn loose a fearful yell
when they charge, and the 9Th Regi
ment of Maryland lets go an even
more dangerous howl. The sound
is nothing of the nature of a che er.
Il is wild, unearthly cross between
screech and yell that is calculat.
ed to strike terror TO the enemy,
but to encourage our own boys.
The yell is supposed to put the fin
ishing touches to the enemy. The
Americans in their charge, having
covered all but about 80 yards Of
the distance until the Spaniards are
reached, dash forward from double
quick to mad rush, yelling wildly,
for the triple purpose of encoursg-
ing each other and confusing and
terrorizing the enemy.
There is not question of doubt
that the battle cry of the American
army is the ''rebel yell'' of old, and
its adoption by the boys in blue is a
great compliment to the men who
set it to music by bullets thirty
seven years ago.
The 5th took to the yell most
naturally. There are men in the com,
mand who "sang in the choir" of 81
and who are delighted to hear the
revival of the never to- be forgotten
"melody."
Capt. Lee Goldsborough, of Co. I,
says the yell, junior, is the real thing
and is of the opinion that it is the
sweetest Emusic" he ever heard.

Plot Against the Cars Life.

New York, Sept. "a dispatch
to the World from London says: A
report is published here of a daring
plot to assassinate the car of Mos
COW last week
The plan of the copspirators was
to allow gas to escape into the
house on the route of the cars pro
cession until the atmosphere in
every room had became saturated.
One of their number was to remain
in the house and strike light when
the czar was passing, in expectation
that the house would be blown to
pieces, and the car killed by flying
debris. The conspirator would per-
ish himself az a sacrifice to the
cause.
The duty fell to the lot Of one
Alexander Kolanoff. To his agita-
ton Kolanoff seems to have made an
error, as the explosion was mis-
timed. When it occurred Il staff
officer and his wife were driving
past the house, and they, instead of
the car, were killed. Their coach
man will probably die of his injuries
and about thirty other persons were
more or less seriously injured.
Kolanoff's mangled body was
found among the ruins. The car
and czarina drove by just twenty
i've minutes later.
Many arrests have been made in
Moscow but the Russian press has
been forbidden to refer to the matter
In any particular.

PENSIONS IN THE LATE WAR.
The Claims Filed Up to September End
Amount Only to 248.

Amount Only to 248.
Washington, Sept. 3,-No new
legislation will be required to author
;zs the pay ment of pensions to the
soldiers who were disabled in the
cnanish war, and the widows of
those who fell victims to bullets or
fever.
Commissioner Evans Of the pen
sion office, has had prepared a state
msnt, showing that up TO Septembe
0tbere have been filed with his
office a total of 246 claims for pen
sions on account of this war. Of
these 45 per cent are invalid pen
Sims. The details are: Invalid ITO,
widow 81, minor 2, mother 40,
father, "a.
To discussing the subject Com
missioner OF Pension Evans said
to-day that nothing had been done
with the claims because of the fact
the records at this point are incom-
plete. Most of the records are still
in Cuba. This being the case moth
inc can be done until the records
are received and duly filed.
Commissioner Evans expressed
the opinion that only a comparatively
few pensions would be sought for
some time to come. This was the
experience of the pension Office after
the civil war closed. For several
years after the war ended only q
few thousand applications for pen
sions were filed. When the law Of
1890 was passed the flood gates
we're lifted and the pensions quickly
increased to 100000. Later acts in
creased the number OF applications
filed and granted to $4,000 IN round
numbers.
The commissioner said that the
physical examination blanks recently
prepared under the direction of Gen.
Corbin would greatly facilitate the
work of the pension Office, prevent
fraud and enable the deserving sell
disrs to get pensions far more
quickly than under the old system.
Under the old system it was com
paratively q easy matter for a man
to substitute some one possessed OF
physical defects to represent him
before the medical examiners and
in a considerable number of cases
the scheme worked. Sooner or later
the fraud was discovered, but net
always to the satisfaction Of the
government.
