There are large number of

Prof. J. T. McCleary lying dead
in the St. James postoMce. These
letters are addressed to people
who have never before received

President Mckinley has receiv-
ed many congratulations on his
selection of Hon. Ethan Allen
Hitchcock, Of NO., at present am
bassador to Russia, to be secre-
tary Of the interior. Tho senate
unanimously confirmed the nomi-
nation, although it was received
only a few minutes before the adj
journment for the Christmas re-
cess. Secretary Hitchcock is a
successful business man, just what
a man must be to satisfactorily adj
minister the affairs of the interior
department.
At the last meeting of the cabi-
net it was decided to muster out
$4,000 more volunteers just as
the necessary arrangements to do
SO can be made. This decision
will add to the Christmas enjoy
ment of many thousands.
The senate committee on the
Nicaragua Canal will sit during
the recess, with full authority to
summon witnesses, administer
oaths, etc., for the purpose of in
vest;gating the work of tho lobby
against the canal bill.
No better evidence of his ac-
ceptable performance of the ar
duous duties of secretary of the
interior could have been given to
Secretary Cliss than the personal
requests to reconsider the matter
and withdraw his resignation
made of him by prominent west
ern senators including Wolcott, of
Colo; Spooner, of Wis.,; and War
rem, of Wyo. His appreciation of
this was enhanced by the know
ledge that his selection for the
head of the interior department
was not pleasing to the western
men, because they thought that
particular department should have
a western or a southern man at it's
head. Having made up his mind
to retire, Mr.. Bliss declined to
change it, but will remain in Office
until Secretary Hitchcock arrives
in Washington to relieve him.
In an interesting address on
National Progress Hon. Ellis III.
Roberts, U. S. Treasurer, said
president Mckinley pierced to
the heart Of pessimis1n by asking,
Who shall haul down the fag?'
Truly, who shall perform that act
Of natianal mutilation? Mr.. Cleve-
land may be willing to haul down
the flag in Hawaii. Who will haul
lit down in the Philippines? Who

Gen. Shafter, who was witness

It is regretable that tho house
