DETROIT, Mich. Sept. 12.-Secretary
Alger expressed himself as well pleased
at the Presidents selections of menu
bers of committee to investigate the
condition Of the commissary, quarter
masters and medical departments of
the war department during the war.
On the subject of sickness among the
soldiers, General Alger said:
1.-THE whole trouble has been in the
volunteer troops not knowing how to
care for themselves and careiessness in
warding off disease. The regular men
have not been troubled as the volun-
teers have. They have had yellow
fever and fevers from exposure in the
trenches before Santiago, but their
general health has been good, and the
proportion of sick and deaths from
sickness is very small

Says There Should BE One Soldier for
Each 1000 Population.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-General
Miles came to the war department at
10 o'clock yesterday and spent a short
time in his room at army headquar-
tiers. Speaking of the future of the
army, General Miles said that there
was 4 number of matters which re-
quired careful and dclibe consider
ization, and that undoubtedly steps in
that direction would be taken as soon
as practicable. The acquisition of
territory obviously made it necessary
that there should be a larger army,
and the experience of the war had
demonstrated the necessity of estab-
fishing a standard and having the
troops thoroughly trained to the mill
tary service. It was desirable, he
said, that the army should be
organized on the basis of one
soldier to every certain number of in
habitants. 1t was recognized by mil.
itary authorities, even before the close
of the war of the rebellion, that the
establishment of standard was de-
sirable, but from time to time the
army had been reduced, until it had
reached number disproportionate!y
small to the size Of the country and
its population. He thought that one
soldier to every 1000 population prob
ably would be found to be the right
ratio for the standard, and that the
army standard being adopted, would
increase according to the recognized
needs Of the government in an exact
ratio to the increase of the population.
He said that it was just as necessary
that soldiers should have proper train
ing as it was to train men to build
houses, or to have a man skilled in his
profession to perform any professional
service. It was essential that an
army should be composed of soldiers
trained TO their profession, command
ed by efficient officers in every grade
and controlled strictly according to
military principles. That military
operations should be directed by mill
itary men, he said, was too obvious to
need to be stated.

DEATH BY 1 S|nETTO.
Empress Elizabeth Of Austria Killed
by Assassin.
ACT OF A BRUTAL ANARCHIST.


GENEVA, Switzerland. Sept. lathe
Empress Elizabeth Of Austria was as
sassinated here Saturday afternoon by
an Italian anarchist. She was stabbed
with a stiletto. Her Majesty was
walking from her hotel to the landing
place of the steamer at about o'clock
when the anarchist suddenly ap-
preached and stabbed her to the heart.
The empress fell, got up again, and
was carried to the steamer uncon-
scious. The boat started, but, seeing
the empress had not recovered consci-
BUSINESS, the captain returned and the
emperess was carried to the Hotel
Beaurivage, where she expired.
The murderer is man named Luc-
choni. He was born in Paris of Ital-
ian parents.
The prisoner offered no resistance.
He even sang as he walked along, say.

clared that he was a Shaving anarch.

ian soldier.
It appears that boatman noticed
three persons closely following the en-
press, who was making purchases in
the shops.
The assassin, while being interro-
gated by the magistrate, said he came
to Geneva with the intention of killing
the Due d Orleans, but the latter had
already left.
Luccesi Tor Laochirn) followed the
duke to Evian, about twenty-five miles
north of Geneva, on the lake, where he
was again unsuccessful.
He then returned to Geneva and
learned from the papers of the pres
ence Of the Austrian empress. Friday
he logged her footsteps, but found no
opportunity to carry out his purpose,
though he watched the Hotel Bivage
all day.
Saturday afternoon about half past
I, he said. he saw the valet of the en-
press leaving the hotel and going to-
ward the landing. He inferred from
this that the empress was going to
take the steamboat, and he hid himself
behind a tree on the quay, with the
file concealed in his right sleeve
In few minutes the empress, &C.
companied by her lady of honor, ap-
peared and the assassin struck the file
home
Luccesi confessed that he had been
an anarchist since he was Is years old
''H all anarchists did their duty, as
I have done mine," he said, bourgeois
society would soon disappear.
He admitted that he knew the crime
was useless, but said he committed it
for ''the sake of example"
In spite of minute searching. the
weapon of the murderer has not been
found

Benjamin Jones, 70 Years Old,
Strung Up by a Mob.
ASSAUlTEDA1o-YEAR-OLD GIRL
Hanged On the Portico Of Clay County
Court House-TAken From JAN Just
Before lliduishs BY About Seventy
Five Masked Men.

LmERrY. Mo-, Sept. 1s.-Benjamin
Jones, an old man of 70 years, was
lynched just before midnight last
night for the alleged assault last Sat-
urday of Anna Montgomery. 1O-year-
old girl.
Between IL and IL o'clock about sew
enty-five masked men rode into town
from all directions. They went imme-
diately to the Jail and battered down
the heavy iron door. They went in
and, finding their man, escorted him
to the front door on the south side of
the court house. There, on the portico
of the Clay county court house, Benja-
min Jones forfeited his life for one of
the foulest crimes ever committed in
Clay county.
On Saturday morning Jones was
asked to escort Anna, the 1O-year-old
daughter of James Montgomery of
Randolph, to the Clay county fair.
Jones brought the girl to Liberty in q
big wagon.
He took care of her all day, taking
her shopping in the morning and out
to the fair in the afternoon. After the
fair was over, they started on the re-
turn trip to Randolph. During the
trip, the crime for which Jones was
lynched was committed
When the news of the crime became
public the indignation of the Clay
county people knew no bounds. Ben
jamin Jones was brought to Liberty
and placed in the Clay county Jail Sum
day morning. All day groups of men
and boys could be seen standing
around on the square and side streets,
talking in low tones. Horses were
hitched at every convenient hitching
post. The male population had de-
termined looks on their faces and any
one with an experienced eye could see
that something was about to happen
that would cause a sensation in the
sleepy little town of Liberty on the
following morning. Notwithstanding
this, very few people were on the
streets when the lynching occurred.
Shortly after II o'clock the electric
lights were put out and the sound of
horses feet was soon heard gathering
over the stony streets, leading to the
square. They surrounded the court
house and it seemed that there were
nearly a hundred masked men in the
mob. Blows dealt by strong arm
did telling work on the Jail door and a
few minutes afterward, Benjamin
Jones was led forth to face the aveng-
ers of the foul crime that had been
committed on the person of little Anna
Montgomery.
A rope was thrown over the railing
on the top of the stairway, and the
moose placed around Jones' neck.
Willing hands grasped the ends of the
rope and Jones was suspended in the
air. A few gurgles, one pistol shot
rang out, a convulsive shudder, and all
was still.
The lynchers dispersed as quietly as
they had come, and Clay county had at
least succeeded in avenging one more
of the foul crimes which have dar-
kened her history.
The body of Jones was cut down by
the officers and taken to Mosby's un-
dertaking rooms. 1t was found that
the ball from the pistol had entered
the back He was clad in plain shirt,
light pants and socks. without shoes.
Jones is an old man, 20 years old, and
his hair is very white,

CINCINNATI, Ohio, Sept. s.-The mid

It's former declaration of principles

the date of the election.
The object of this early action was>
to head off any such fusion as that OF
1896. While the radicals controlled
the convention, they could not have
carried out their program without
bolt from Northern delegates. The
Western and Southern delegates NOM
mated Wharton Barker and Ignatius
Donnelly for president and vice presi-
dent and declared the principles Of the
reorganized party. The Eastern
states were not represented
1t was the smallest national conven-
ton on record, and it adopted the
longest platform on record. one of
over 1000 words. Most OF the usual
rules of conventions were ignored, and
most OF the delegates came with self
constituted credentials, ewing to the
confusion over the call
1t was very noisy convention and
no connected report of the proceedings
will ever be recorded. While the Peo-
pies party was heretofore divided on
the issue of fusion, it has now been
found that even the anti-fusiOnists are
badly divided and that the fighting
among the middle-of-thc-roaders them
selves has just begun.
When the second days session was
convened the temporary organization
was made permanent and Chairman
Ignatius Donneliy made another rad
ical speech denouncing all those who
had co-operated with fusion move
ments and strongly advocating the re-
organization of the party, not only for
an independent presidential ticket but
for independent candidates for con-
gress, state officers, etc.
A letter was read from Ex-Governor
David Waite of Colorado, in which he
denounced Senator Butler rs 4 treach-
erous chairman and false leader and
advocated the nomination OF straight
Populist tickets for President and
other offices.
The Butler faction moved to amend
=
national committee. This caused great
disturbance and the Brtlcr men were
knocked out.
The Butler faction, led by Mr..
Palmer of Illinois then left the hall
and the other faction proceeded with
