Eek SECRETARY Sherman has been fluid
ing fault with tho manner in which SEQ
re,sry Of War Alger has been conducting
the War Department. Hehas been SO FREQ
in his criticisms Of the department that
President Mckinley on Wednesday sent
for him and said that they seemed to him
largely unwarrantAbls and certainly very
much to be depecrated at this time, espec.
tally from o party point Of view, and that
he hoped Mr.. Sh.r,nan would exert his in.
fuence against such attacks. Mr.. Sher-
man replied that IL was obvious that there
had been serious lnismanagemen. Of the
Santiago campaign from the time of Its
inception at Tampa to the return o. Gen
Skaters troops to Montauk Point and al.
90 In the camps North and South; that the
criticism Of the War Department was in
evltable and In his opinion justiiable.
The ex-Secretary Of State knows what it
10 to be criticised and he has not been slow
In following up his a tacks on Secretary
Alger for tho manner In which the duties
Of the office have been admin ,tered dur
Ing the hosiilities with Spain. 1t Is plain
that the ex Secretary has on his war paint
and Is after Secretary Alger's scalp Pres.
ident Mckinley certainly owes 1t to the
people and to tho army to investigate the
charges preferred against the War Depart.
ment and its head.

ALTGELD HITS BACK.
Illinois Ex-Governor Pays His Re-
spects to Gov. Tanner In an
Address at Chicago.

Chicago, Sept. 26.-The democratic
state campaign was opened here Sat-
urday night. Five thousand people
filled the Auditorium to hear addresses
by Mayor Harrison and Ex-Gov. Alt
geld. Mayor Harrison's remarks were
comparatively brief. He devoted most
of the time to denunciation of the
Allen law. State issues formed the
principal portion of Mr.. Altgeld's
speech. He advised democrats and re-
publicans alike to vote against all leg
islative candidates who helped to pass
the Allen law. He said Gov Tanner
in his Golconda speech found no time
to even mention the Allen law, but
satisfied himself with finding fault
with the economy of the preceding
administration. Not a word in his
harangue was true, but even if it had
all been true, that would be no defense
of the infamous acts of the present
state administration. The ex-govern-
or concluded with an argument for
tariff reform and free coinage of sill
yer and scathing criticism of Secre-
tary Alger's management of the war
department.

tions and grades.

The death of Miss Winnie Davis, the
beautiful and accomplished daughter
of Mrs. Jefferson Davis, brings into
sad prominence a family that has
borne a historic part in American af-
fairs. Miss Davis was born at the
most critical time in the life of the
American people, when her father was
conspicuous as the leader of the most
tremendous rebellion the world ever
saw; and though her own life has been
lived since those days of strife, her
name and parentage instinctively as
sociate her with that momentous
struggle

Great Destruction In the City Of Lima
--Bu1dildinEsG y i Torn to Pieces-A
Child Blown Avvay.

Lima. O., Sept. &c. "A storm which
passed over Lima Saturday afternoon
at 1850 clock did thousands Of dol
lars worth Of damage by wrecking
buildings. a large number Of people
were injured and one child, the six
year-old son of Sidney Walthey, 374
South Scott street, cannot be found.
Z The storm came up from the west.
When Mrs. Walthey saw the storm
coming up she called to her son, who
was in the yard, but just then the tor
nado struck, and the child was carried
away in the flying debris. Hundreds
have searched for him in vain ever
since the storm. s.
The wind and rain continued for
fully an hour. The storm starting
point was about three miles east Of the
city. A number of farmers living in
that part of the county were on their
road and many of them sought shelter
in the big barn Of Jacob Boze, which
was leveled. George Hadsell, aged 70
years, had his leg broken at the knee
and Jacob Boze had his shoulder
broken. 4t, IL r.&tsF 81 , 2
The cyclone struck the northeast
part of the city and twisted new
house belonging to William Harris
from its foundations and left it in the
street. Crossing, the Pennsylvania
tracks it demolished two water tanks,
unroofed the Quilna brewery, Lima
egg case factory and a number of ad-
jacent buildings. It then struck the
high. school building, wrecking the
whole roof. tearing out the west end
and letting the roof and first and Sec
ond floors into the cellar. Fortunate
ly it was Saturday and there were no
sessions of the schools or loss of life
would have resulted. Several school,
houses east of the city were leveled,
but no one was injured.
The storm continued southwest, un-
rooted portion of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton railroad shops,
and buried Harry Casewell under the
debris. He was taken out with five
ribs broken. The Hotel French lost
part of it's roof. The Collin livery
barn was .unroofed, the West High
street school building was unroofed.

TO ESCAPE THE FEVER


Jackson, Miss, Sept. 26.-The yellow
fever epidemic, which is now costing
the state Of Mississippi $1,000 day,
not to mention the loss to commerce,
prostration of business and a tie-up
OF railroads throughout the state, II
now at its height, and the chances are
good for its continuance until the
frosts Of November. The situations
practically shows no recent change
The epidemic is still confined to the
counties of Lafayette and Kinds, which
are $50 miles apart. A few sporadic
cases have appeared in other counties,
but they were quickly isolated and
the disease stamped out. Up to the
present time 120 cases of genuine yell
low fever have appeared, from which
IS deaths have resulted, the death rate
being about six per cent. heavier than
during the epidemic of last year.
Every state in the south has estab-
lished rigid quarantine against all
portions of Mississippi, infected or
noninfected, and business is practical
ly at standstill. Freight traffic is in
a great measure suspended and many
railroads have discontinued their train
service altogether. Every road in the
state is operating at a great loss on
account of the quarantine, which in
nearly every instance is shotgun af-
fair and a very bad thing to trif1e
with.
In jackson, where five cases have ap-
peared to date, fully three-fourths of
the population has left the city, and
each outgoing train carries special
coaches loaded with refugees for
northern points. The town is almost
deserted. The capitol building is
closed and nearly all the state Off
cials have gone. The banks of the
city are open about an hour each day,
merely for the purpose of keeping the
time locks in order. A ten-miIe Gordon
surrounds the town and no one is al
lowed to enter. Those who desire to
leave must go north. The board of
health advises total depopulation of
the city,

The Klondike Nugget, one of the two
papers published at Dawson, laments
over the trouble of finding it's town
subscribers, who pay $24 year for the
privilege of getting semiweekly edi-
tion. A paragraph in recent issue
explains the difficulty by saying that
it is very hard to find some of the
houses according to addresses left at
the Office. Among those mentioned
were "the cabin with the screen door,"
1.-The slab house facing the river "the
big tent with two stove pipes," and
1.-THE cabin three doors south of where
all the dogs are.'

LIMIT IS FIXED.
President Mckinley Says Spanish
b.. Must Get Out of Cuba BY
December 81.

washing tOu, OepL. GO.-1ne l0SLruC-
tions sent the American evacuation
commissioners at Havana, practically
amounting to an ultimatum to Gen.
Blanco, insist that the evacuatio of
the island by the Spaniards begin not
later than October Is, and that it be
complete by December 81 next. What
the result of this demand will be is
not yet known, but it is said that the
administration is determined to toll
crate no dilatory tactics on the part of
the Spanish forces in leaving the
island, although disposed to permit
reasonable indulgence.
1t seems that the Spanish side of
the commission has said that they
could not begin the evacuation of the
island until the 1st of November, and
that it could not be completed before
the 2sth of February next. In view of
the alarming state of the Cubans, who
are suffering from hunger, and the in
ability in the, present uncertain con-
ditions for obtaining relief, President
Mckinley sent the instructions re.
ferred to in the foregoing.
Notice has also been taken of the
expressed purpose of the Spanish cap
tain general to remove from the island
the remains of Christopher Columbus,
with part of the surmounting monu-
ment. If monument is not a per-
manent fixture, then it is hard to de-
eide what is, and it is possible that at
tention will be called to the infraction
of the terms Of the protocol. although
this must be done with haste. in order
to succeed in its object, as the removal
is said to be fixed for next Tuesday,

Admiral Dewey's naval victory at
Manila was as cheap from money
point of view as it was in casualties to
his men or ships. So much has been
said about the immense cost of ammu-
milton for big guns of battleships that
it was supposed his destruction of the
Spanish fleet was costly affair, but his
official report of the number of shots
fired enabled the naval authorities to
ascertain that only $4,000 worth of
powder and shell were used. The
United States could have afforded to
pay for several naval victories at that
rate, but at Manila one sufficed.
