TROUBLE in THE CABINET.

The cabinet is not in harmony. Secretaries
Gage and Alger have ''crossed swords so to
speak, and it seems they have decided that one
OF the other must resign. Gage is doing all in
his power to embarrass the war department.
When Alger asks for money to prosecute the
war, Gage doles out the money in small dribs
The reason for Cages action is thus given in
dispatch from Washington
"This attitude of Secretary Gage is due to
the renewed efforts of the peace party, chiefly
bondholders, who are trying to bring pressure
strong enough to change the presidents policy
as to the capture of Porto Rico, all invasion OF
Cuba and military government of the Phillip
inc islands.
So serious has the breach between the two
cabinet members become that one or the other
is expected to retire. If the war party is strong
est it will be Gage, if the Spanish bondholders
are in the ascendency, it will be Alger."

PcL1T1cAL discussions are entirely secondary
at this time, but we shall be compelled after a
short time to return from the exciting naval en-
gagements and gathering troops, to matters per
tanning to our own individual welfare, and the
reform forces should not forget that to them the
nation must look for the preservation of our in
ternal affairs; and we must not forget, either,
that while the nations interests are being pro-
tected by friends near and dear to us, the
schemer is not asleep; and immense bonded
debts will be rolled up for our children and
grand childred to pay, unless the forces see that
the government is administered during the next
few years in the interest of the masses. While
we are all Patriotic Americans, the schemers
are in the saddle now, and they will surely sow
tares as they have done since March a. 1897.

OUR TROOPS FOR CUBA

Arrangements For the Landing and
Camping Practically Completed.
Washington, Oct 31.-No definite de-
termination has been reached as to the
date when the troops now at Savannah
will be sent to Cuba. A prominent ad-
mihistration official said last night
that the departure Of General Lees
corps would be dependent, to a certain
extent, upon the movements Of the
Spanish forces In evacuating the ISL
snd. The American troops, he said,
might sail this week, and they might
not sail for a month.
1t Is the Intention Of the admins.
tratien, however. to land General Lees
corps In Cuba before Jan. 1. That date
has been fxed definitely as the time
for the final evacuation of the island by
the Spaniards. An effort was made
by the Spanish authorities to obtain
an extension Of the time Of evacuation
until Feb. I. but the proposition was
declined by the American commission
ers.
Arrangements for the landing and
camping Of the American forces prac-
tically have been completed in Cuba,
although some of the details have not
been worked out yet. The recall at
this time Of Colonel Hecker and Colonel
Lee from Havana is simply to secure
their aid here In the working out Of
these details.
General Fitzhush Lee came to Wash
lngton from Richmond Saturday night,
but remained only until an early train
yesterday morning. His business was
purely private. and he called upon no
war department officials. Important
orders will be sent to him early this
week relating to the movement of his
corps, but as yet the war department
has not disclosed their nature.

A BRUTE'S CONFESSION.
A Monster Tells How He Murdered
His Little Son.

His Little Son.
Jersey City, Oct. 31.-Nicholas Jack
son, Of Hackensack, who went to Tren-
ton prison to serve ten years for caus
ing the death of his 6-year-old son
Louis, confessed to Sheriff Herring and
Deputy Sheriff Jackson when they
were on their way to Trenton from
Hackensack with the prisoner. On this
confession Mrs. Jackson Is held as an
accessory to the murder of her step
son. Here are Jackson's words to the
sheriff:
MY wife, whom I had only recently
married, did not like Louis, my little
boy, and we had many quarrels about
him. She helped me to plan the mur-
der, and was to put the boy on the
tracks. I went TO Teaneck and stood
near the West Shore railroad track.
l was afraid to put the youngster on
the tracks alive, for fear he would get
off, so ! struck him in the stomach
with an iron bolt, and that made him
unconscious. Then ! put him on the
track just below the crossing, and.
waited for a train to come along.
When ] was convinced that he was
dead ] went home. fixed up the story
about my leaving the boy asleep on the
nil near the tracks to save my life.
The jury believed me and found me
guilty of manslaughter, thinking that
Louis walked on the track and was
struck by train. I got off dead easy"
Prosecutor Stage will go to Trenton
this week and make arrangements to
have Jackson appear before the next
grand jury to testify as to Mrs. jack
sons connection with the plan of MUIR

Queer story Of TIVE Lakes,


The Wetternsee in Sweden, like 20 many
other lakes, has long enjoyed the local
reputation Of being a bottomless pit. The
Swedish scientists have now destroyed the
venerable legend, for in the measurements
taken few days ago they have success
fully demonstrated that the greatest depth
Of the lake is only 10 meters. There still
remains, however, q series Of mysteries
which science must be content to leave
unsolyed-at least for time. It 10 not
only . legendary belief, but there is a
quasi scientific ground for the queer sup
position, that living creatures, animal and
vegetable, can and do make journeys to
and fro between the high northern lake of
Wettern and the south German lake Of
Constance.
This bold conclusion has been partly jug
tilted by the appearance of exactly the
same fauna, and even OF the same animal
life, in the Swedish and the Swabian in
land sons. 1t Is even asserted that when
ever there Is storm on the lake Of Con-
stance the lake Of Wettern begins sympa-
thetically to roll and swell, and that the
southern lake Is similarly moved by any
ngitation in the distant northern lake.
The Kleine Zeitung soberly declares this
sympathetic phenomenon to DO known
fact, but considerably adds that we will
have to wait some time for the rational
explanation Of it.-London News.
