WASHINGTON, March 21.-It can be
stated positively and Guthoritively
that the report OF the court Of inquiry
into the Maine disaster has not been
received up 10 noon today. From the
same source il can be stated that the
present official information is that the
report is not likely to bs here before
next Thursday or Friday. This is
material change from the expectation
prior TO this issue. The cause OF the
delay is not known, but it is assumed
that the conclusions Of the
court are not in such exact
form as TO warrant their
earlier presentation here. The gov
eminent has made no further pur-
chRses Of wRrships, but its negotia-
tions in that line have been productive
of at least one important result,
namely, in establishing that unless
the bAttleship General O'Higgins be-
comes the property OF the United
States, IL will not be sold at all
Spain, IL is confidently asserted, will
not be able TO secure this warship, nor
are her chances any better or as good
as those OF the United States. Prsc.
tieally the same condition prevails as
to the Argentine armored cruiser, San
MRrtino, which will become the prop
erty OF this government IL 1t passes out
OF the hands OF Argentine.

MusKoGEE. l. T., March 21.-The
town OF Wybark five miles north OF
here, is all excitement over crime
which was committed near there Sat
urday night, by which woman and
two men lost their lives, and which
bids fair TO rival any OF the horrible
crimes which are now on the criminal
calendar Of the Indian Territory. ED
Chalmers, a negro, who recently mar
ried a white woman named Headly,
was visited Saturday night by mob
of six white mon, and both Chalmers
and his wife were shot and killed by
the mob. Chalmers lived until sun
day morning, and before he died he
gave the names of some of the men he
recognized IN the mob. 1t seems that
the six men had planned to kill
Chalmers and his wife outright and
leave no one to tel the tale, but dur.
ing the fight which took place be-
tween Chalmers and the mob, one
of their number was shot, IL Is
thought, accidentally, by one Of
the mob, and this morning the
body of one Matthews, an aged white
man, who resided at Gibson Station, a
town near Wybark, was found near
the railroad, not far from Chalmers
house, pierced by bullet Matthews
answered the description OF one of the
men described by Chalmers before he
died. The floor of the house in which
Chalmers and his wife resided was COW
cred with blood and gave evidence Of
desperate struggle. 1t was also found
that Matthews hod been carried from
Chalmers house by his pals to the
place where his body was found and
that they had laid guns by his side to
leave the impression that he had com
mitted the crime. United States Mar
shall Bennetts deputies have been IN
vestigating the mater ell day and
some startling developments are ex-
pected.

At the cooler end of the kitchen two long poles were placed from chair back to chair back. Across these poles, like the rounds of ladder, were placed shorter sticks, called candle rods. To each candle rod were tied about a dozen straight candle wicls. The wicks were dipped again and again, in regular order, in the melted tallow, the succession of clippings giving each candle time to cool. Each grew slowly in size till all were finished Deer suet was used as well as beef tallow and mutton tallow. Wax candles were made by pressing bits of half-melted WAX around Il wick.

PURCHASING ARMY OFFICES
The System that Prevailed in Great
 Britain Up to 1871.


 Last among the suryivals in conflict with the spirit of the age may be noted promotion by purchase in the army which retarded indefinitely the ad- vancement of efficient officers and con- splred to drop all the honors of the service into the laps of wealthy indi- ylduals of no special talent, who could afford tO pay for them, which only came to m end in 1871. Under the sys- tenn merit and fitness went for nothing, and so difficult WAS 1t for n man with out money to get on in the British army that good officer without the WhcrcwithAl to purchase Il company might remain q lieutenant for twenty years. to he Sourcd in all probability by seeing brother officers of less stand. ing raised above him by the power of money again and again, and even then only obtain his captaiucy by some un- loel;ed-for augmentation in the estHl- lishnent Strangely enough, in the navy brains and hard work were given scope to carve out advancement at the same time that in the sister service promotion had to he bought, and that nt Il prier frequently double the official value of the post.
