SecrstaFy Long Has = New Ptaa for the
Navy.
Washington, Sept. 5.-The Navy De-
partment has officially recognized the
injustice attending the degrading Of
159 officers through the promotion Of
participants In naval engagements at
Manila and Santiago and upon minor
occasions In the war with Spain by
preparing bill which Secretary Long
Will ask Congress to substitute for sec
tiOns 1905 and 1907, which permitted
the promotion OF officers not exceeding
thirty numbers with the consent OF
the Senate, "for eminent and cOnspicu-
GUS conduct In battle or extraordinary
herOism."
In this measure Secretary Long has
devised to reward brave officers with
medal of honor and an Increase OF 10
per cent. in their pay us long MS they
may live. CuriOusly enough, It Is not
contemplated that this amendment to
the law shall correct the injustice al
ready accomplished, but its provisions
are designed wholly for subsequent
cases.

asked for proposals. to be opened Oc-

4 Touching Story.

The Portland Express is told this
touching story 10y one OF the soldiers
lately returned 10 Portland with the
recruiting detachment: AT Worces-
ter" he said. IAN aged woman came up
to the car windows and spoke 10 me.
In her hands she carried a letter. and.
with tears in her eyes, she asked if
would try and find her son, 10 whom il
was addressed, and deliver il when
reached Chickamauga. ! assured her
that / would do my best. and upon ar
irving at the park l made a careful
search for the party. IL was two days
before | found him, and when he read
the letter he turned as white as a sheet
and tainted dead away. Later he told
me that nine years ago he had run
away from home for fancied griev-
0nce and that his folks had never
heard from him up TO that day. His
mother, as last resort, mad sent the
letter TO Chickamauga, thinking that
her son, if alive, might have enlisted.
She did not have the slightest idea
whether he was really there or not. and
it seems as if the hand of God must
have directed her. The boy was com
pletely overcome with remorse, and
wrote a long letter to his mother at
once, thus undoubtedly lifting weight
of sorrow from her. He told her that
IL he returned alive he would go right
home and make up in the future for
the trouble he had caused his parents
in the past"

Democratic Nominee For Congress,
SENATOR LINDSAY saws if the repub
OF shelby County.

SENATOR LINDSAY says If the repub
lican administration court martials
Gen. Miles or even tries him by Such a
court. the democrats will nominate him
for president and elect him. Gen. Miles
has made some pretty tough charges
against the VIGOROUSLY incompetent
Secretary of War Alger, but Mckinley
dare not order him tried, especially
since no other charge can be made
against him but that of telling the
truth. Miles married a relative of
Senator Sherman. who will back him
in his charges against his arch enemy
Alger, who knocked him out of the
presidential nomination, and make it
continuously as hot for him as DUR
ing these heated dog days. Sherman
has it in for the administration for fir
ing him out OF the cabinet and is long
ing for such a chance to go for it as the
trial of his relative would give him.
But Miles will never be tried. The
administration is afraid TO put itself 10
such jeopardy. On all sides come, how
ever, demands for the investigation of
Ayers department and II it is made
the greatest scandals ever known will
be unearthed. The republican war"
has shown how incompetent republi-
cans are, except to make the most of
the loaves and fishes.
