w SHINGTON LETTER.


From Our Regular Correspondent
Washington. sept "a, 1898.
l., Nr. Mckinney preparing to throw
Secretary Alger overheard? Many per
sons think SO. Secretary Alger is the
only member Of the cabinet who was not
specially summoned to Washington TO
participate in the extended consideration
and discussion of the instructions given
previous to their departure for Paris 1t
is asserted that this public snub was adj
ministered to Alger as Il hint that his
resignation Of the war portfolio would be
acceptable to the administration. An
other reason given for not having Alger
i Washington inst now is that Mr.. Nc
kinlev wished the other members OF the
cabinet to feel free in expressing them
selves about the intended investigation of
the war department, which would have
been impossible with the secretary of war
present Mr.. Mckinley is said to be
fully convinced now that the investiga-
ton will result in finding Ager guilty OF
some Of the gravost charges that have
been made against him, and to be fully
determined to do nothing 10 shield Algcr.
Some say that he has been brought to
this state of mind by evidence laid before
him by military men; others that it is

the investigating commission, which will
shortly get to work, by officially stating
his wish that all army officers asked to
testify shall tell everything they know
about the mismanagement OF the war,
the truth may be got at, Notwithstanding
the commissions lack of legal authority
to compel witnesses to testify.
1t is said that Gen. Scofeld's refusal to
serve as Il member Of the investigating
commission resulted in a stormy scene
he-WeeA hi.u and ..r. l;c>laiey. 1t i
certain that when Gen. ;>coiield lett the
w';;e hYuec. after he had finally and
positively declined TO se.ve on the com
mission the old gentleman was III Il
toe ..iu- passion.
...era is much speculation in Washing
ton concerning the nature OF the instruc-
tons given our leace commissioners and
the belief is growing that the instructions
were not specific, further than to demand
possession OF the island OF Luzon, and
that everything else was left to be deter
mined by circumstances, after the COM
mission meets, and there is an opportu-
nifty to learn the attitude OF the Spanish
commissioners. In any event, it is GER
tain that Mr.. Mckinley does not intend,
if he can prevent it, that the position OF
the administration shall become known
until after the congressional election. II
he was certain Us he claims to be that
the policy Of the administration would be
Endorsed by the people, he would be only
too glad t, announce that policy before
the congressional election.
Senator Quay came over to Washington
to pull few administration wires that
he hopes will aid him in his fight for re-
election. He admits that the present Is
tie strongest fight ever put up against
him, and leaves it to be inferred that he
is far from being certain OF winning. HIS
opponents have been smart enough not
to name IL candidate against him and to
adopt the general motto Of "Apybody to
beat Quay" leaving the question OF who
shall be the candidate to be settled after
an anti-Quay Legislature has been elected.
The administration is, as Il matter OF rule,
helping Quay to Il certain extent, but Mr..
Mckinley wouldn't do any worrying il
Quay was beaten, provided, Of course,
that his successor was Wanamaker OF
some other Republican. Quay has made
Mr.. Mckinley feel his power to often to
be cordially liked by him.
That the competition between the big
shipyards OF the country is largely i'm
aginary, when it comes to bidding for the
construction OF ships foI the government,
was demonstrated as usual when the
bids were opened for the construction Of
three battleships, the Maine, the Ohio
and the Missouri. Contracts have been
given at practically the same figures tc

AIDED BY MRS. PINKHAM.

Mrs. W. Z. PAXTON, Homegrown,
North Dakota, writes about her strug-
gle to regain health after the birth OF
her little girl:
"DEAR Mrs. PNKHAM:--It Is with
pleasure that / add my testimony to
your list, hoping that it may induce
others TO avail themselves Of your val
liable medicine.
"After the birth of my little girl,
three years ago, my health was very
poor. had leucorrhen badly, and a
terrible bearing-down pain which
gradually grew worse, until could do
no work. Also had headache nearly
all the time, and dizzy feelings. Men
situations were very profuse, appear
ing every two weeks.
"Itook medicine from good doctor,
but it seemed to do no good. / was
becoming alarmed over my condition,
when 1 read your advertisement in
paper. l sent at once for a bottle Of
Lydia Z. Pinkhams Vegetable Com
pound, and after taking two-thirds OF
the bottle / felt so much better that l
send for two more. After using three
bottles felt as strong and well as any
one.
81 think it is the best medicine for
female weakness ever advertised, and
recommend it to every lady l meet suf'
fering from this trouble"
Maternity is wonderful experiences
and many women approach it wholly
unprepared. Childbirth under right
conditions need not terrify women.
The advice Of Mrs. Pinkham is freely
offered to all expectant mothers, and
her advice is beyond question the most
valuable to be obtained. Q If Mrs. Pax
ton had written to Mrs. Pinkham be-
fore confinement she would have been
saved much suffering. Mrs. Pinkhami

BOYS HELD UP THE TRAIN.
Five of Them Arrested Charged With the
Burlington Flyer Hold-Up.


ST.. JOSEPH, Mo-, Aug. 15.-Five
young men ranging in age from II to
25 years were arrested yesterday by
the secret service police, charged with
being implicated in the robbery of the
Burlington exposition flyer at Roy's
Branch Thursday night. Their names
are: Charles Cook, Alonzo Arteburn,
James Hathaway, William Hathaway
and Herbert Donovan.
James Hathaway was day delivery
clerk at the Western Union Telegraph
company's office. He was the first to
be arrested and he made a confession
duplicating the others. The officers
found a memorandum book and hand
kerchief at the scene of the robbery
which were the property of James
Hathaway. This clew led to his ar
rest. Two of the pistols used by the
young desperadoes were also recov.
cred. The robbers secured rig from
livery stable and repaired to the
scene of the robbery. The rig was re-
turned late at night by a strange man
and woman, who have not yet been ap-
pretended All of the young men are
well known and have borne good repu-
tations up to the present time. Cook
is the son of member of the fire de-
partmcnt.

department, following the Presidents
proclamation of a suspension of hostil-

Cuban coast blocl1ading squadron, is
rapidly assembling his ships at Key
West. Many arrived yesterday and
still more to-day. The flagship San
Francisco with the commodore aboard,
arrived yesterday morning. She looks
none the worse for her experience off
Havana early Friday morning. The
hole torn in her stern by the twelve
inch shells from Moro castle had been
neatly patched and the damage to the
ship is inconsiderable.

FIVE lYNCHED IN ARKANSAS.
Bodies of Three Men and Two Women
Dangling From n Tree.


Dangling From n Tree.
LITTLE Rock, Aug. 11.-Five negroes
are hanging from the limbs of trees
near the railroad track and the widow
Of John T. Orr is dead in her cell.
This is the tragic denouement of the
assassination of John Il. Orr, a
wealthy merchant, few nights ago.
The wife died from dose of poison,
self-administered, while the negroes,
her associates in crime, were strung
up by mob of citizens.
Miss Morris, the Jewess implicated
in the assassination, was not hanged,
abe having disappeared. The lynched
are: Manse Castle, Dennis Ricord, Ella
Weaver, Susie Jacobs, Will Saunders.
Late Saturday night John L. Orr was
assassinated. He had just returned
from choir practice, where his wife
was organist. The crime was shrouded
In mystery until Miss Morris told
somebody that she knew who fred the
shot.
A ccroner's inquest resulted in the
arrest of the five negroes and Mrs. Orr
and a warrant for Miss Morris. II
was charged that the wife had hired
the negroes to do the murder. Orr's
life was insured for SIS, 900 and it devel-
oped at the inquest that Orr and his
wife had lived unhappily.
Mr.. Orr was formerly a theatrical
man. In 1890 the couple eloped to a
summer resort in Wisconsin and were
married. Later they settled in Clar'
endon, where Orr prospered in bust
ness and was considered wealthy at
the time of his death.
