SIZE OF THE PEACE ARMY.
President canvassing Public Sen

sire of the Country.
NO CONCLUSION is YET REACHED.
1t Will Prove a Puzzling Question to
Settle = Reorganization of the
Navy to Be Arranged by a Board of
Five Omcers, Which Will BE APP
pointed Later.

Washington, Aug. Is. = President
Mckinley is canvassing public senti-
ment as to the needs of military or
ganization in the time of peace, and
has consulted a number of visitors as
to how much of the army should be
kept up after the treaty of peace is
executed. No conclusion has been
reached as yet on this point, but it is
receiving considerable attention on
the part of the administration. Gov
Shaw, of Iowa, was one of the few
prominent visitors at the white house
Monday. He was presented by Secre-
tary of Agriculture Wilson, who drove
over with him from the department
and placed his carriage at the disposal
of the governor, who has just reached
here from trip of inspection at
Chickamauga and Jacksonville and
also a visit to Fernandina, where a
brigadier general represents the state.
He paid his respects to the president
and took occasion to report the con-
dition of the Iowa troops in camp. He
said that in general way they were
in very fair shape, but made num-

A MARROW ESCAPE.

This morning the C.& N w. passenger
going east ran into hand car standing
on the track just this side of the large
bridge west OF town. The S:l5 was late
this morning and she was evidently en-
deavoring to make upthe time between
here and Arion. judging from the rate
she was going.
The bridge gang foreman, concluding
the gang would have ample time to go
down the track from where they were
working before the train reached the
bridge, put them ON the hand car, but
as they reached the bridge the train
rounded the curve and was upon them.
Not having time to stop the car and
take it off the track, the whole crowd
jumped and the. car left to its fate, The
engine was damaged somewhat, but not
seriously. If the men had ridden the
hand car. onto the bridge, no doubt
some of them would have received SER
ious ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS. 8

MISS MORRIS IN JAIL.
Belief That the Young Woman
Charged with Aiding in Murder
of Orr Is Under Arrest.

Pine Bluff, Ark, Aug. IS. - Miss
Rachel Morris, of Clarendon, accused
of being accessory to the murder of
John Orr, is believed to be in Jail here.
For some days admission to the Jail
has been absolutely refused those not
officially connected with that insti-
tuition. Reliable persons passing the
Jail observed young white woman
seated at the WINDOW of room which
is occupied exclusively by women.
While the authorities denied that
Miss Morris was III the Jail, they made
no attempt to explain who the woman
was, except to mention that she was
held as murderess.

Many Candidates for Democratic
Nominations.
ARE VERY CONFIDENT
The Main Fights Will Occur on County
Attorney and Supervisor-Two-term
Rule AGAIN.

The REVIEW is naturally but spec
tator in democratic county politics, but
for the information of our readers we
give as fair view of the field as it is
possible for us to obtain.
The candidates for auditor are John
T. Carey for denomination for third
term. Mr.. Carey has made good Of
fetal and counts upon luis record to
carry him through. Opposed to him
are M. ]. Collins, of Iowa township, a
we'll known and we'll liked man, and
the jovial Frank Odell who now comes
as Paradise township farmer. Both
of these men are gentlemen of good re-
pute in democratic circles but we do
not think they will give MIR. Carey any
trouble, unless the two-term rule is es-
tablished.
For clerk, the present incumbent Mr..
Emil Kruger is a candidate for third
term. He has made good official and
is popular man. His opponents are
Mr.. John Michaelson, former proprietor
of the Charter Oak Times, and hard
working democrat, and also Mr.. Philip
hlumberger, of Denison. MIR. Sch

A GRAND NAVAL REVIEW.
1t Is Being Talked of for Next
Saturday in New York
Harbor.
TO FIRE SALUTE At GRANTS TOMB.
Sampson and schley with Their Ships
to Have Part In Display-Battle-
ship Texas Has Been Put I'm Splen-
did Condition and IL Ready to
Leave Dry Dock.

Washington, Aug. 15.-The navy de-
partment is considering the project of
q naval review in New York harbor
on next Saturday, when the battle
ships and cruisers under Admiral
Sampson arrive there. Efforts have
been made to induce the department
to have a review of the ships and land
review of the sailors. It is probable
that the final decision will be to have
the war vessels go up the river to
Grants tomb at Riverside and there
fire salute, the trip up to the tomb
affording the public a sufficient oppor-
tunity to view the ships, without firing
the sailors by land procession.
Sampson on Way North.
Washington, Aug. 49, Admiral
Sampson with the four big battleships
and two armored cruisers of his fleet
is now on his way north, having sailed
at ten o'clock Sunday morning from
Santiago. Admiral Schley on the
cruiser Brooklyn accompanied the
fleet. The naval orders made public
Monday give the Brooklyn as starting
on the 18th from Playa to the south
coast of Cuba. This, however, was prior
to the orders issued on the suspension
of hostilities, when the Brooklyn was
included with other ships ordered
north. The naval authorities expect
the fleet at Tomkinsville the latter
part of the week.
Ready to Leave Dry Dock.
New York Aup 16-FreShlv nainfe.1
and looking as trim and neat as if she
had only gone into commission, the
United States battleship Texas awaits
a favorable tide to be foated out of
dry dock at the Brooklyn navy yard.
The needed repairs to her hull, upper
sides, superstructure and machinery
have been completed under the watch
full supervision of Naval Constructor
Bowles, and if anything the war vessel
\ is stancher and more formidable than
lever.
The authorities at the yard expect
the other vessels of the squadron to
arrive by the end of the week and the
cruiser Brooklyn will probably be the
first to reach the yard. The new dry
dock will be ready to receive one of the
vessels within two weeks, as the work
men who are removing the cofferdam
in front of the big dock are now cut
ting away the last row of high wooden
piles which obstruct the entrance.

Der of suggestions looking to their
convenience and comfort. He asked,
also, how long it would be before their
disbandment might be effected, now
that the peace protocols closed doc
ument, but the president himself has
not now fixed opinion on this point.
To Appoint Naval Board.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Allen
was with the president part of the
morning, going over important mat
tiers of detail, incident to the close of
the war, including the question of a
reorganization Of the present navy
and its reduction to what is actually
needed. 1t was decided to create
board of five naval officers to pass upon
the matter. Acting Secretary Allen
said that the board would be appoint
ed Immediately and that it would con-
vene probably before the close of this
week. Its function will be to deter
mine what vessels now In the navy
should be retained, which of them
should have their government char
tiers discontinued or their use by the
government otherwise dispensed with,
what changes to make in the vessels
kept, etc. This board will consist, as
now planned, of three officers of an
all..around naval ability, one engineer
and one constructor.

In the Bulletin of August 4th some
one undertakes to question the fidelity
of Maurice o Conner to the silver cause.
1t may be a state secret but it is fact
that not one-half of the old time demo.
cratic leaders of this country believe in
free silver today. They were forced
into tacit support of the theory by the
national platform but they have always
been lukewarm in the faith and would
gladly repudiate it now ii not for party
pressure. The only simon pure free
silverites in this county today are the
fellows who rated from republican
party IN 1896. The question put to Mr..
O'Conner would be a difficult one for
any of the candidates to answer on
honor, today. 70

GUBERNATORIAL.
A New Richmond in the Field-At
Least So 'Tis Said,

Cincinnati, o., Dec. 19.--The Cincin-
natl Commercial Tribune prints the
following special from Hal u, Landon,
hts Washington correspondent, on the
governorship:
There is likely to be new candidate
for governor and one whom General
Grosvenor, for both personal and geo.
graphical reasons, would not be likely
TO regard with the least disfavor sup
posing he decides not TO be candidate
himself. This possible candidate is
Henry Clay VanVoorhisnow Congress
man from the Fifteenth district. 1t is
proper to say in makingthls announce
ment that Mr.. VanVoorhis is not his
own candidate-ft Is his friends who
are urging the propriety of his nomin7
aOion. Personally Mr.. VanVoorhis is
close friend and great admirer Of
General Grosyenor and IL is probable
would desire to be written down as fa-
voring the Generals nomination.
But some of Mr.. Vanvoorhis' friends
including influential Republicans of
his section Of the state, see in him the
timber of which good Governors are
made, and they are now sounding the
sentiment Of party leaders respecting
his proposed candidacy. Mr.. Van
| Voorhis has made an abe member of
Congress and, it is argued, has shown
his ability TO win votes over factional
opposition in his homg district, safely
surviv@dIthe perilsi OF countless post
Office appointments in territory
where political fighting comes as nat.
uraily as the drawing of breath, and
Is clean honest aggressive and loyal tc
the Republican organization.
While he Is boldly for the admins
tratlon, he has not been vindictivt
and has made and kept many friend:
In all wings of tine Ohio Republican
party. All of this is being urged by hi.
friends as reason why Mr.. VanVoor
his should be made the Republican
nominee for governor. Mr.. VanVoor
his is popular with his colleagues il
congress, and chose of him who hav,
heard Of his possible candidacy hav,
many kind words to say of it. Som
Of them are inclined TO think tha
with about fifteen candidates in the fiel,
counting the numerous "receptiv
gentlemen" the next state convention
will afford good chance to take wha
the race people call Tong shot OF
the winner.

MCKinIey's Sentiment.

Few public men are so honestly SEN
timental as William Mckinley. He
appreciates and cultivates anniversar-
les, condolences and social ,climaxes.
1t was this charming trait of charac-
ter which induced him when he came
10 Washington to be inaugurated Pres
tdent, to take up his quarters in the
hotel rooms which he occupied as a
congressman. They were somewhat
shabby and he was urged to go to a
more pretentious place but there was
lthe sentiment of riding to his old quar-
yters to the White House, and the plans
were all his own. 1t was the same
sentiment which induced Major Nc
-Kmley to rent the comfortable cottage
at Canton just before his nomination,
for 1T was there, before it had passed
out OF their ownership that their early
life had been passed, and it was still
musical with childish voices which
were silent to others.
N "a NSANNib was pldlCuldTly nap
py over the fact that Admiral Samp-
sons dispatch announcing the des-
truction of Cervera's fleet came as a
Fourth of July Offering to the nation
and now there is likely to be a still
more striking bit of sentimentalism in
store store for the chief executive. The
present plans are that the commission
ers bearing the treaty with Spain shall
arrive in time to offer it to the Presi
dent as a Christmas present its ap-
proprlateness to the tome of Peace on
earth, good will toward men," being
almost too obvious to need mention.
1t would not be strange if the presi-
dent should sign it Christmas day.
