Some confounded clerk doing
overtime, [ suppose" growled The po-

around to the side door. The light
showed quite plainly ct the little bar
/ red window in the door. He disliked
speaking to the clerk, for the entire
banking force was aware of his fruit

But it was his duty to assure himself

side, so he stepped up to the door and
knocked
There was quick movement inside,
he heard the door leading into the
little entry open and voice ask: us
that you, officer?"
Yes" replied Sphinx. "W hat are
you doing in there?"
"A little extra work. replied the
voice. Shall be here till late, | ex
pect. Will you come in?"
Before Spink could reply he heard
the ratrling of bolts, and the door flew
open. A dapper little fellow with a
green shade over his eyes and pen
behind his ear was revealed.
''Come in and get warm, SIR said
the clerk. Its cold night"
No, thanks-not now. I've just
come on duty" replied Sphinx.
"Weli, | expect l shall he here

said the other, pleasantly. I'll see
that nothing occurs out of order in

Yes; l am," said Sphinx, smelling

Sphinx went off, and the door was
closed. He raped at the door
again at ten O'Clock and got an an
swer from the fellow, and about mid
night, it being bitterly cold outside,
he accepted the clerks invitation and
went inside to warm himself at the
fire. The man with the green shade
was just having bit of lunch, and he
invited Sphinx to help himself The
contents OF a neat lunch basket We're
arranged on top of a stool, and there
was can of enough for half
dozen men-on the stove.
Meanwhile the clerk kept at work
on the ledgers piled up on the tall
desk, and the officer watched him
with interest. He was a slightly
built, smooth faced young fellow,
with waist like girls and hands
white and tapering. The upper part
of his countenauce and his eyes were
hidden by the green shade. Though
he was frail appearing, he handled
the heavy ledgers with great facility.
And all the time he kept up a run

nlte or sup of coffee.

the desks and a small safe. which

KNIGHTS OF LABOR.
ter Workman Hicks spoke Of Immlgra-
ton Laws and Territorial Expansion.

Chicago, Nov. Most Of yesterdays
session of the Knights of Labor con-
vention was devoted to the reports Of
committees and that of General Mas
ter Workman Hicks. The report of
the executive committee said in part:
1t seems next to impossible to secure the
passage by congress OF proper measure to
regulate immigration to our shores The in
tiuence Of the foreign steamship companies
appears to be all-powerful to prevent any such
legislation. The judiciary, with few honor
able exceptions, are merely the hirelings Of
labor's Oppressors and legislation is neces-
sary to reconstruct the courts, Injunctions, i'm
prisonment, bayonets and bullets are awaiting
the men who take any decided stand against
the encroachments Of capital.
General Master Workman Hicks in
his annual report took strong grounds
in opposition to the anti.expansion
policy Of President Gompers, Of the
American Federation of Labor. He
said:
No part OF the territory where our nations
blood was lost or the flag raised should under
any pretext be allowed to go out Of our possess
sion. Still, we should not, under the guise Of
humanity, either take for our own or turn back
to Spain any portion OF the scenes Of our vari-
Gus battles. but make them all free and indie
pendent Let us not fear the importation Of
their cheap labor, but rather let us educate
them to our standard

REMARKABLE ACTIVITY.

Suggestions ~ Ia tn. Causs.

Washington. Nov II. There has
been remarkable activity about the
war department for several DAYS in the
way of preparing troops for service in
lands beyond the United States. An
order has been issued directing at least
ten regiments of the regular army
now stationed in northwestern forts
and posts to hold themselves in readi.
ness for immediate transportation and
service in tropical climates. Most of
these regiments were sent in the
northern and western posts a
few weeks ago for recuperation
after their Cuban campaign. While
holding themselves ready for service,
these regiments will now be recruited
to their full strength. Nothing is said
officially as to what the present &C.
tivity means but there are several rea.
sons suggested. 1t is believed that an
early movement to Cuba is intended,
somewhat sooner than has been gen
orally believed heretofore. Another
belief entertained is that the United
States government desires to be
in POSITION to meet any
conditions that may grow out
OF the pending peace negotiations
and to be In readiness to resume hos
tilities II Spain refuses to accept the
terms the American peace commission
ers offer. In this connection an init
nation has got about to the effect
that during the delay which has oc-
Cured Spain has been able to form
some sort of coalition with European
powers to back up the pretensions she
has been making In the negotiations.
reason given for the proposed
OF the regulars to Cuba is
that they are to replace the regiments
which have given some trouble and
have created disturbances, the last
low being reported from ten. Woods
command in Santiago province. 1t

nents are destined to replace volun.

Brings.

The most offensive Of all dis.
eases becomes more intense as cold
weather approaches. In fact,
many who have been under treat
ment for so long, and during the
summer feel little discomfort from
the disease. are almost persuaded
that they have been cured. But
the first chilling blast of winter

their Catarrh grows in severity.
Those who have felt only IL slight
touch of Catarrh may be sure that
only cold weather is needed to de-
velop the disease. What appears
to be only bad cold will prove
more difficult to cure than for
merly, and will return with more
frequency, until before long the
disease is fully developed.

ginning to the end Of the history of the
general hospitalsat Camp Wikoff there
was never time when there were not
from 30 to 500 vacant beds Many pa.
tients were sent away to hospitals in
neighboring cities, largely in response
to public clamor. The patients taken
away were largely typhoid cases and
were selected chiefly because it was
believed not wise to allow typhoid
cases to accumulate at Montauk. He
declared there had been a suficiency

camp was in 8 deplorsble condition.
DR.. Forwood said that Dr. Wood was
disappointed because he did not get
leave Of absence immediately after
arriving from Cuba, which he had
asked for, Notwithstanding his services
were needed and he was in good physi.
cal condition. Gen. Wheeler had re-
fused 10 grant this request. From
that time" said DR.. Forwood, 'he was

was disgruntled and disloyal, and
found fault with everything. For In.

DR.. Forwood declared that the COM
plants concerning the purity OF the
water at Montsuk had originated with
men who had filters and distilling ap-
paratus for sale. The water was pure
and plentiful He said the transporta-
ton facilities OF the camp we're poor
and that often the vehicles received
were not complete in their equipment.
The witness said he had annulled the
contracts of two or three contract
surgeons because OF incompetency, but
that he knew OF no case OF neglect on
the part Of physicians OF character to
compromise the welfare Of the pa.
tients.
The army rations were supplement.
ed by everything that could be found
in the larder OF the Waldorf-Astoria,
including roast turkey, pheasants,
squads, lambs, sheep, pigs, game Of
all kinds, pate de fois, mineral waters,
the finest champagnes and liquors.
At one time he had noticed eight bar
