Mayor Van Wyck, of New York, has
unearthed evidence of the greatest steal
known in that city since the days of w.
M. Tweed. The contractors for laying
asphaltum pavements were the chief con-
spirators, but members of the reform
administration. that controlled affairs for
several years. were their silent partners.
The action taken by the Mayor to bring
the guilty parties TO justice has created
an immense sensation in New York. out
rivalling that concerning the tax-dodging
of the great Republican reformer, Roose-
welt.

General Bradley II. Johnson on the
McGregOr Case.
baltimore Sum


Messrs. Edtors:
Colonel Robert McGregor. of the Ninth
United States Cavalry, needs the prompt
and vigorous attention OF the grand jury
of Baltimore city. He ought to have
been arrested by the police on the spot In
the act and run into the nearest police
station like any other law-breaker or
tramp, and he ought to have been ar
rested then and there If 1t took every
musket and every man in Maryland TO
do it, and his troopers, too. If they had
been disorderly Governor Lowndes was
within talking distance by telephone, and
SO was the marshal of police. / suppose
the uniform of an imperial soldier hedged
his dignity, so that the police, the rail-
road authorities, and the colonel all
agreed in opinion that he was above laws.
He ought TO be indicted without delay
and the Governor send requisition for
him, wherever he is, as a fugitive from
justice
No such insult has been put upon the
State since war times, when there was
no law. and Governor Lowndes owes 1t
to himself, to his State, to the memory
of those before him who were honorable
men, to see that this defer of the law
be made an example of. which will be re-
membered while the State-House stands.
and be known now wherever Maryland
has a name. BRADLEY I. JOHNSON.

The Charlottesville Progress, in dis
cussing Imperialism, says
In the South. which is generally Demo-
cratic and sincerely attached to the old
paths, there was never any widespread
sentiment in favor Of expansion. We may
regard II as certain that the ultimate
judgment of all the people will be against
II. 1t is a conclusion devoutly to be
wished
Weu put. And because the ultimate
Judgment of the people would be against
Imperialism, the Republican party is try
ing to come snap judgment" in the mat

Washington, Nov. 14.-The official re-
port of the Navy Department of the
finding Of the Maria Teresa was con-
tained in the following cablegram re-
ceived from Commander Craven of the
wrecking tug Potomac, which had been
ordered to Cat Island from Santiago:
Nassau. Nov. 12.-To Secretary of
the Navy, Washington: Potomac ar
rived. Maria Teresa near Bird Point,
Cat island, one mile OF shore In two
fathoms Of water. Tide rising and fall
ing inside. Temporary deck broken up,
movable articles removed by natives.
Vulcan not seen. Natives at work
since Saturday"
The Potomac was ordered at once
back to Cat island with instructions to
Commander Craven to take possession
Of the Maria Teresa and drive OF the
natives who are looting the ship. He
replied by cable that he would leave
Immediately and would arrive at the
wreck In the morning.
The fact that the Teresa, a vessel
drawing twenty-three feet of water,
and waterlogged as she was when
abandoned, is probably drawing nearly
thirty feet, has been driven In twelve
feet Of water, Is regarded by naval Of
ficials MS evidence of the great strength
OF the storm which caused her crew to
leave her.

The Devoted DauEht of Jsnsfsea Dsvis
The recent death of Miss Winnie
Davis, daughter Of Jefferson Davis,
marks one of the closing chapters OF
the romance Of the civil war. So at
tached was she to the memory Of her
father that she sacrificed her womanly
love on the altar of her paternal a6ec-
tions; she broke of her engagement
to a young man rather than give mp
the name of Davis. She was widely
known and much beloved in the south
as the Daughter Of the Confederacy."
She received this title while on tour
with her father through the southern
states. Jefferson Davis was At the
time too i'll to reply to the ovation
rendered at every stopping place, and
his daughter acknowledged the compli-
ment by appearing on the platform OF
the car. At Atlanta. Ca. Gov. Cor
don presented Miss Davis to the peo-
pie as the daughter Of the Confeder-
acy." Her full name was varina Anne
Davis. She gave evidence Of marked
literary talent. She was a skilled lin
guist, an accomplished musician. and
a most attractive type Of the brilliant
and beautiful southern woman.
