experience. Among the articles in
his care was Il cage containing two
wildcats, consigned from Fall Brook
in this state to Martins Ferry. Ohio.
The messenger from whom he had
received them said they had been be-
having very well, but no sooner was
he started on bis run than the: got
into terrible fight. The frail bars
of their cage bent 50 under their bat
tering that he drew a couple OF re-
volvcrs and watched them, ready to
fight for his Lie in case they got
loose. When the growls, snar]s aud
splitting finally had ceased, the ines.
scngcr took a lantern and looked into
the cage. Where there had been two
big Wildcats, weighing respectively
SO and 40 pounds in spite Of their
gauntncss; there was now one sleek
90 pound wildcat and a few hairs and

alive lue1F organization. LII was a
successful meeting and he believes
will result in closer amalgamation
of the third party forces all over the
country. Plans for the coming ma
tional campaign were discussed and
chief among these was the deter
mination to hold an early convention,
perhaps year or two before 1900.
1t was decided, however, in order to
obtain the sentiment Of the members
Of the party to send out questions
asking for an expression Of opinion
as to just when the convention should
be held. BY holding an early con
yent;on the leaders believe that
they will forcstall any repetition Of
1896 when the party was bamboobled
by the democrats into supporting the
democratic candidate.
i'Erom the tone Of the discussion
at St. Louis we do not believe the
democratic convention Of 1900 will
endorse the Chicago platform by any
MEANS" said MI. Hogan "We be-
licvc they will hedge. That will be
our opportunity to remain true to
our oft:repeated principles making

results Of the conference and consider
that our party is becoming stronger

THE SERGEANT HEARD FROM.
Suspicious Circumstances Connected
With His Disappearance.

HAMPTON, VA. March 8.-Special.-
A captain Of artillery at Fort Monroe
was heard making the following state
ment in reference to Sergeant Tschern-
ing's mysterious disappearance from the
fort
Sergeant Tscherning" he said, was
an expert craftsman OF the Engineering
Department, and had in his charge the
plans and maps Of the fortifications.
These. | understand. he has not taken
with him, but that would not keep
him from giving the plans TO Spanish
officials, as ne knows the fort thoroughly,
aud could easily reproduce the plans If he
wished TO do so.
Two years ago. Tschorning and / were
in Havana, and he asked me 10 dine with
some friends of his who proved 10 be
Spanish officers. This may not have any
thing TO do with his disappearance. but
1t looks suspicious.
AT that time America was thinking OF
sending a warship to Cuba. and when
asked about it. the Spaniafds said that
any ship the United States sent TO Ha-
vana would be blown up"
Tscherning left Fort Monroe last
Thursday. and has not been heard of
since. His whereabouts are unknown to
the officers of the fort.
Lieutenant Duval who was formerly
connected with the Artillery School OF
Fort Monroe. but now military aide 10

A large Hotchkiss revolving cannon
was shipped to Fort McHenry Baltimore,
to-day from Fort Monroe.
The rumor 10 the effect that prepare
tions are being made to move the furni-
ture and filings from the Old Point Ho-
tells i'm anticipation of war with Spain,
is emphatically denied by the officials
of both hotels
Lieutenants Sturgess and Bentley have
left Fort Monroe. for New York. where
they have been orderd to join the new
regiments. which are being formed.
The hospital ship jamestown ar
rived at Old Point from tho Gosport
Navy Yard to-day. A number of the
men from the school ship Vicksburg were
transferred from that ship TO the re-
ceiving ship Franklin at Norfolk to-day.
ONLY A SPREE.
WILMINGTON. y. c., March 2s.-A
special to the Star from Southport says:
Sergeant Tscherning. whose sudden dis
appearance from Fortress Monroe q few
days ago caused a sensation, arrived here
to-day. apparently suffering from the
effects Of a spree Tscherning has been
In service tWenty-seven years. and had
in his charge important plans I'm draw
ings OF Fort Monroe. On arrival here
Captain Casiere in command Of Fort
Caswel. Immediately caused his arrest.
but soldiers say nothing could be learned
of his movements for the past few days,
nor the Whereabouts OF his papers.
Tschernng will probably be sent under
guard tomorrow To Fortress Monroe.
