M H De Young. editor of the Chroni-
Gle. has long wanted to be Senator:
J. p Spreckels, editor of the Call, is not
unwilling to be senator.
w. F. Herrtn is the chief counsel of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company, which
plays prominent part in California pol
Herrin is alleged to have offered each of
the two editors permission ''to name the
next senator" Then the editors arranged
a meeting and HerTin was asked to call
on Spreckels. He was surprised when he
found De Young present. De Young says
he asked how the offer that had been made
to himself had also been made to Spreck-
els. Herrin stammered out a reply about
delay. He was then asked, Who is the
railroads candidate for Senator?' His re-
play was, colonel Daniel Burns is the
railroads candidate"
It is reported that Herrin further told
De Young that George Croker and others
had decided that De Young could not be-
come senator.
Herrtn says he said the railroad had no
candidate, but that Colonel Daniel NJ.
Burns was his personal choice.

NO COOKING FOR TEACHERS
Household Arts Section of the Chica-
go School System Must Not
Be Abused.

Chicago, Dec. 10.-Cooking for teach
ers and principals will be prohibited in
the public schools. Only a month has
passed since the Inauguration of the
household arts section of the school sys-
TEN, but it was shown yesterday that
teachers were using the department for
the cooking of their luncheOns.
The household arts committee met
yesterday and listened to a statement
from Mrs. Ella r. Young. The latter
said that one principal of a school had
requested that the cookery teacher
bring his luncheon upstairs to him every
day after the noon dismissal. She ask
ed superintendent Andrews if this
should be permitted. DR.. Andrews said
no" emphatically. He said that this
would be like making a teacher in the
schools act as a hired girl or a waiter
in a restaurant. Mrs. Young was or
dered to send out a letter prohibiting
the cookery teachers from using school
time in furnishing teachers with hot
coffee or In serving luncheon to prin-
cipalS.

CROKER's 1900 PROMISE.
Tammany Will Support the Demo

Indianapolis, Dec. 9.-Leon Bailey,
the defeated free silver candidate for
congress in this district, denied today
that Richard Croker of New York had
conferences during the recent visit to
West Baden Springs and other places in
the west with leading Indiana Demo-

Mr.. Croker at the Auditorium in Chi

a casual meeting of acquaintance.
OF course they talked politics. Mr..
Croker said that whatever platform

MANILA AS SEEN
Through the Eyes of q Common Sol
der, Just Returned.

San Antonio. Tex, Dec. 1o.-First
Sergeant John StarcB, of company E,
Eighteenth U. S. infantry, is at his
home from Manila on furlOugh
Sergeant Starck does not like the
Philippines as they are now, but says
they will be all right when thoroughly
developed by American enterprise. He
says it Is very warm and unhealthy
as the city is in a very unsanitary con-
dition, but that 1t is rapidly being clean
ed UP by the Americans. The excessive
rainfall is in his opinion the reason of
so much unhealthfulness. He says that
the rain has the ground so thoroughly
soaked that when the sun appears it
draws the moisture from the ground so
rapidly that it looks as if smoke was
issuing from the earth
All the houses, he says, are of neces-
sity built high from the ground on stilt-
like foundations owing to the prevailing
dampness, in order that the ground
underneath them may be reached by
the rays of the daylight and sun. The
sergeant says the Eighteenth infantry
is situated in the barracks vacated by
the Spanish troops when the Americans
chased them out of the town and that
they are quite comfortable. The bar
racks are of plank and are high from
the ground with high walls, giving
them a good ventilation. The roof ex-
tends over each eaE0 81 the barracks

BY THE SUEZ ROUTE.
Reinforcements for Manila are to Go
by Eastern Route.

by Eastern Route.
New York, Dec. 10.-A dispatch to the
Tribune from Washington says:
The next regiment to start for Ma
Mia will embark at New York about the
end of this month and will go through
the Suez canal. The expedition will
consist Of three regiments of regular in
Gantry distributed between two of the
largest converted transports owned by
the government, with perhaps a con-
voy of two warships. Arran gementS
are now being made for the expedition
by Ad1utant General COrbin as rapidly
as possible in view of its great import
ance, especially as it involves cO-Opera-
ton by the state and navy department
authorities as well as those Of the war
department.
The decision to use New York as the
point of embarkation, instead of San
Francisco, whence all the earlier forces
started for the Philippines, was reached
by General Corbin after a careful re-
view of a number of considerations,
chief among which was the urgency for
haste. The early completion of the
treaty of peace with Spain renders in
dispensable a prompt increase of the
American forces not only at Manila,
but to provide additional garrisOns for
import centers in the archipelago,
which will Immediately fall under
American dominion, with its accOmpa-
nying responsibility for the security Of
life and property.
At the present time the government is
the Pacific ocean to meet the emergen-
cy- The dispatch of two vessels from
the Atlantic, it is believed, will there
fore be particularly advantageous for
the double purpose of bringing home
from Manila such volunteers as can
soon be spared, and increasing the
transport fleet in the Pacific. The
three regiments Of regulars have not
been selected, but as none but those
now in New York state and other At
1antic garrisOns can be well spared, the
conclusion was forced upon the au-
thorities that economy as well as rap
1dtty of action required them to be sent
by way of the Mediterranean instead of
journeying across the continent and
then undertaking the trying and monOt-
onous voyage on the Pacific with no ha-
ven Of rest after leaving Hawaii.
The garrison under Gen. Otis at Ma
Mia now consists of one company of the
regular engineer battalion, six troops Of
the fourth regular cavalry, six batter
les of third and sixth regular artillery,
three regin4ents-the 18th, 18th and 23d
regular infantry, Is regiments of vol
unJeer infantry and six batteries of
volunteer artillery, including the Astor
light battery, which already has home
ward orders. It will be the effort OF the
authorities to return all those volunteer

ANNOYING HELEN GOULD.
Crowds of Curious Persons Try to See
Her.

Albany, N. Y, Dec. e.-Ever since
Miss Helen Gould came to Albany to
testify against Mrs. Margaret E. Cody,
she has been the object of great inter
est. Many persons who claimed to know
her father when he was an amateur
road surveyor in Albany county have
called and inflicted their "reminiscences
on her.
Callers at her hotel are received by
her courier, a middIe-aged man with a
long gray beard. Many of her callers
are actuated by a desire of gain, but
none of them succeed in reaching Miss
Gould. One of Miss Gould's admirers
wrote a patriotic song about her. 1t
was very bad. A comedian at one of
the theaters sang it last night and the
author if it sent a copy to Miss Gould
today.
While not admiring the peculiarities
of it's diction, the heiress of $1O,000,000
was amused by 1t. One of the verses
was rendered this way:
She's the pride of the nation
And her fame will long hold,
For the patriotism and charity
Can of Good Miss Ellen Gould.
Miss Gould put the letter H before
her first name in acknowledging the
receipt of the literary offering.
