CONGRESSIONAL TICKET.
He Must Explain.

General Miles may find himself in
serious trouble. The department is
OF the opinion that he made puplic
the dispatches Of the secretary, Gen
eral Shafter and himself which have
just been published. If he admits
that the interviews with which he is
accredited are authentic it is felt
that he can scarcely escape a court
martial.
1t is expected the controversy will
extend to both houses of congress
and it is feared will have an adverse
effect upon legislation which will be
asked to better the army. 1t is gen.
orally understood that the regular
force will have to be largely increas-
ed, at least until the conquered
isards ere disposed of, and it is fear
ed that legislation in this direction
will be hampered by a controversy be-
tween the secretary of war and the
general in command of the army.
Now that the Spaniards are no
longer on the field of Battle our U.
s. army officers must have little
battle among themselves. A great
deal of warm feeling is being stirred
up over promotions.

Fear a Lack OF currencx.

Chicago, H., August 31.-The Post
says: There is probability of a lack
of currency as the work of moving
the immense crops proceeds. Already
the banks of New York are experience
ing shortage in small currency, and
have not only appealed to the treas
ury department at Washington for
aid, but have sent requests to Chicago
banks to send all the currency they
can get, offering to pay the express
age.
The amount of small bills the war
has put into circulation, together
with the extraordinary size of the
crops, has made the question of cur
rency a serious problem. Especially
is there lack of the smaller demon.
nations. One banker in Chicago says
the local institutions have carefully
kept their supply of small currency
and have plenty to carry them along
for some time, but ne predicts before
the end comes the bankers will be
shipping gold. This is an unusual
situation. 1t has been some time since
Chicago bankers have been compelled
to ship gold to pay balances. But this
is feared by leading financiers. They
say the demand for currency will be
much greater than the supply, and az
a consequence gold will have to be
transported in lieu of currency.

Continuing. General Grosvenor said
that the dissatisfaction among the
soldiers was all tracable to the fact
that they had not been able to get to
the front. On the whole, he (Grosve-
nor) was satisfied the men were very
much better of than were the sol
diers in the civil war.
This last view was confirmed by
Senator Allen, of Nebraska, who CALI
ed at the war department to get some
news of the whereabouts of the Sec
ond Nebraska regiment, which he was
told was en- route from Chickamauga
to Omaha.
He said the main complaint among
the men was their enforced detention
at the camps instead of hein1 sent tn
the front. So far as their physical
condition was concerned, while the
men had suffered good deal at Camp
Thomas, so far as he could iudg ge
from his own experience in the civil
war, they were certainly no worse of
than the soldiers then engaged.

Mostly Lies.

A great deal has been said for the
last two weeks accusing our command
ing officers with gross neglect of our
soldiers. The Kansas City Journal
brands this discussion as "mostIy
lies"
The following is an interview with
Gov, Black of New York:
my impression, said Gov. Black,
"of the camp of the New York troops
at Chickamauga lark is not half as
bad as l expected it would be. The
unfavorable condition of the camp
and hospital has, beyond doubt,
been very greatly exaggerated by the
press.
"The division hospital in which
the sick soldiers of the Ninth New
York infantry are quartered is certain
ly in very bad condition. The pres
ent state of this hospital ought never
to have been permitted to exist and
should be corrected at onca.
Il think that the troops at chick
anauga park should have been moved
long before any sickness broke out in
the ranks.
The Sternbery hospital is in excel
lent condition. | do not see that it
could be made any better. 1t is ad-
mirable, both in plan and manage,
ment.
LAS to the New York troops at
Chickamaugo, mean to take as
many home to New York as l can. l
shall also endeavor to have as many
mustered out as possible, and those
that | cannot have mustered out l
will employ every endeavor to have
moved to Northern camps at the
earliest possible date"
''The hospitals of the Eighth and
Fourteenth New York regiments are
much better in every particular than
the one in which the sick of the Ninth
New York infantry are quartered d :"
The case of Private Num-, of the
ambulance company, who was trans
ferred from the Ninth New York
was reported to the governor by Cap
tain O'Connor, of Company A, Ninth
New York, and was reported by the
governor to Washington for investi-
cation.
Captain O'Connor s statement was
that he had found the body of Num-
lying naked in division hospital
two days after death, infested by
maggots; that an autopsy had been
held, and that no preparation had
been made for the care or interment
Of the body up to the time Of the
finding by O'Conror. The affair has
created great stir, and it will re-
suit in the trial Of Captain O'Connor
by court martial.

MISS Hendricks story.

Lucindy Hendricks, recently shot
by Hummer, her alleged husband,
tells the following story of the shoot
ing:
She went to North Topeka with
Hummer where he purchased the re-
volver with which he did the shooting.
Hummer then took Miss Hendricks
toward Meriden. Before they arrived
there, Hummer said:
II haven't got enough money to
get marriage license at Meriden be-
cause I bought this when I was in
town." With that he produced the
revolver. but this will do just as
well. 1t will DO the work. Lucinda
l have decided to kill you"
At frst The poor girl thought be was
joking. But Hummer repeatedly
threatened her life as the day wore on
He accused her of infidelity. He
said she had been seduced by he,
brothers. At one time he ssid to her
''A little ways ahead there is 8
vacant house. When We pass that
house some dogs will come out and
bark at US. Then I am going to
shoot you"
When they passed the house, Hum.
mer did take the gun out Of his pock
ct but seemed to lack the nerve te
carry out his horrible threat
It was little further on that he
got out q little piece of paper, and
wrote on it "bury me and my wife
together" He showed the paper tx
the girl and said, Now I might a.
well do the work.
1t was then that the struggle com
Imenced. The girl jumped out of tn,
carriage, and from that time she re

Republicans is included. No de-

kLONDTkE VS. THE WAR.

The Engi2eer and Mining Jour nal says the Klondike rush still seems to be largely in the future, and the number of those who are actually starring for the Yukon makes but very small showing in comparison with the expectations which were entertained. Many of lhe steamers which were hurrledly prepared to carry passengers and freight to Alaska are laid up, and some have been sent elsewhere bv their owners. The passenger rates from Seattle and San Francisco which had been ID to high figure, have been reduced from time to time without drawing business. and now we hear of actual competition among the different parties carry ing freight from Dyea and Skaguav. which has cut down the rates for transporting goods over the passes to a point which was thought to be impossible. only a short time ago. It js evident that the people gener- ally have made up their minds
  about the Klondike region, and are not going there, or going at least in very limited numbers. The war excitement has undoubtedly aided in this result by drawing attention in a different direction, and by stopping the free advertising which the region was receiving in the papers. The result is not at all to be regretted, since it has prevented many people from going into the coHntry, and given. us an oppor- tunity to rate the region at It's true value. The estimates of this years gold production, which a little while ago ran up to $SO,O0O,0O0 and over, have been gradually cut down 10 comparatively small figures. The latest estimate is from the chief of the Canadian mounted police, who pats the figures at about $S,000,000.
