The present situation of the Administra-
ton is thus portrayed by Frank Sanb m,
the witty non-partisan observer OF public
events =
SIN the flush times of the river steam
boats at the South and West, when racing
and the bursting of boilers were so much
in fashion, it was not unusual to see one
of the officers sitting on the safety valve,
while the fremen were chucking wood
under the boiler to increase speed and
beat the other boat. In the present agi-
tation of the whole country over the mis-.
management of the land campaign in
Cuba the lumber dealing Alger seems to
be feeding the furnace. while the soft
spoken Mckinley is resting his compro-
missing weight on the safety valve-hoth
of them contributing to the swift-comiDg
explosion.

Murderous Anarchist Writes to the

Murderous Anarchist Writes to the
President of Switzerland.
Berne, Sept. 15.-The funeral train
bearing the remains of the Empress
Elizabeth, which left Geneva yesterday
afternoon, made short stoppages at the
principal towns in Swiss territory.
Everywhere along the route church
bells tolled respectful sympathy, and in
some places wreaths were presented.
The assassin it is said, has written to
the president of the Swiss confedera-
ton asking to be tried at Luzerne,
where capital punishment is in force.
He now admits he attended an anar-
chists club at Lausanne, where it was
decided to assassinate some great per-
sonage. Six members of the club have
been placed under arrest. The assas-
sination has produced a great revul-
sion of feeling among the Swiss people
IN favor of capital punishment

It is stated on what seems to be good
authority that within the last fortnight a
company has been organized under the
laws of New Jersey which is designed to
exercise a general management of the
commercial affairs of Cuba. One of the
incorporates is brother-in-law of Vice
President Hobart. There is a feeling
among those who know the character Of
the promoters of this new Cuban CONNER
cial company, that the big island is in
danger of being shortly swallowed whole
by an organized gang of political sharks Of
the Hanna-Hobart sort

Washington, Sept 15.-It is under
stood that the president has invited
Senator Hoar, the senior senator from
Massachusetts,, to accept the London
mission, to succeed Mr.. Hay. While a
definite response has not yet been re-
ceived, it is gathered that the senator
probably will decline, on the ground
that he would be more serviceable to
the country in his present position,
while the delicate health of Mrs. Hoar
renders change of habit and climate
unadyis able at her time of life

Fifteen Thousand Insurgents March

London, Sept. 15.-The Manila cor
respondent of The Times says: Fully
$1,000 insurgent troops evacuated the
suburbs yesterday. They did SO in a
grand march, carrying rifles, colors
waving, bands playing and shouting
Viva Americanos" Viva Filipinos
Libres" The Americans gave a pa
rade and granted full military honors.
Perfect hamony prevailed, and the ma
tives were evidently delighted at the
opportunity for public display of the
efficiency of their troops in drill.
The firmness and tact of General
Otis have produced an excellent result.
The governor of Iloilo is facilitating
commerce, according to his agreement,
and trade with the southern ports is
increasing daily.
The merchants here expect heavy
losses if a new tariff is enforced at an
early date, because their present stocks,
valued roughly at $1,000, 900. have paid
the highest duties.

The Vermont election has alarmed the
Republican leaders, The Democrats polled
nearly 1000 votes more than in 1895, while
the Republican vote fell off 10000 Ac-
cording to all presidents this result in the
Green Mountain State indicates over
whelming disaster for the Administration
throughout the country at the coming
elections. The war with Spain and the
magnificent victory of Admiral Dewey
didn't help the Vermont Republicans any,
as expected.
