HIS PLACE I'M THE FIELD.
General Lew Wallace Throws Up Political
Honors For War.


indianapolis, Ind, April 1s.-General
Lew Wallace, the famous soldier, dip
lomat and novelist, who was II years
old April 10, has formally withdrawn
from the race for the United States
senate and announces that he will en-
ter the army and fight for Cuban
independence.
In statement given out today over
his signature, General Wallace says:
I'm view of the certainty of war
with Spain, have rendered the nation
al government my services in the
field. That | have been a candidate
for United States senator may sub
ject this action on my part to miscon-
struction, SO | beg to announce my
withdrawal from the senatorial race
To the many Republicans who have
given me their support, ! offer my
hearty thanks and most grateful ac-
acknowledgements"
General Wallace does not seem to
be speaking unadvisedly. 1t is known
that he recently addressed a letter to
the president making tender of his
services, aud it is believed that he
received a favorable answer and as
surance that he would be appoint ted to
a position commensurate with his tai
ents and with his distinguished SER
vices in the war of the rebellion. As
the regular army and the national
guard are already differed, it is as
sumed that he will be general of
volunteers.

Senior Polo Chartered steamer to Take
Them to Havana.
Washington, April 17-The Spanish
minister, Senior Polo, has closed char
ter for an American steamer of the
Plant line, which will carry practically
the entire Spanish colony of Tampa,
Fla, to Havana tomorrow. In making
the charter the minister gave assur-
ances that in case of hostilities the
steamer would be cleared from Havana,
given ample protection and allowed to
return to an American port.
The Spanish party will number 408,
most of them being young men who
have offered their services in the
Spanish army in case of war. Some
women and children are included, as
they are part of the colony making
the move, and it is said also that the
hostility to Spanish residents in that
locality has become marked of late.
The consul and vice consul, with two
assistants, will remain at Tampa. This
is the point at which seven regiments
of infantry has been ordered to mobil-
ize within the next few days, although
there is no intimation that the de.
parture of the Spanish colony is due te
the concentration of the United States
troops at Tampa.

Berlin, April 1s.-The Washington
correspondent of the Lolxal Anzieger
reports an interview with Senor Polo
Y Barnabe, described as "the first the
Spanish minister to the United States
has given since his arrival in Wash
ington," in which he is represented as
saying;
"The original idea of the Monroe
doctrine was that it should be applied
for defensive purposes, and not for of
fensive, as is now the case. In my
opinion the newest application of the
serious precedent, and threatens the
raising of other similar cases in the flu
ture
"Spain has made extraordinary con
cessions, ignored insult, permitted the
carrying of provisions to Cuba and
ceased hostilities Neither the insur-
gents nor the United States has given
sufficient recognition of this. Spain
expects for certain that the United
States, within reasonable time, will
be satisfied of the success of the Span
ish concession. She repudiates all
responsibility for the Maine catastro-
phe but is prepared to submit the mat
ter to an international court of arbi-
tration, to whose judgement she will
bow"

BattIeship IOwa's Guns Fail to
Stand a Rapid Firing Test.

New York, Jan. 1.-THE Times today
says:
When the battleship Iowa arrived at
Hampton Roads on Saturday, the for
ward turret, with its pair of u inch
guns was crippled to such an extent
that they could not be used, and one
of the men attached to the powder
magazine was confined to the sick
bay with a badly injured head.
According to the orders issued by
Captain w F. Sampson, target prac-
tice was INDUCED in while the ship was
on its way to Hampton Roads Two
of the forward eight and twelve inch
guns were rapidly worked for target
practice, the new smokeless powder
recently put on the ship for use in the
eight inch gun being tested for rap
idity of fire.
Ten shots were fired from the eight
inch guns at intervals of one minute
and a quarter, the tasted time on rec
ord.
1t was during practice with the 70
inch guns that the accident occurred
Ten shots were to have been fired. At
the sixth shot the dash pot, which is
used to relieve the cylinders, in taking
up the recoil, broke and fell, striking
the head of the sailor, knocking him
unconscious. The dash pot weighs about
SEQ pounds. The vessel was taken into
Hampton Roads for repairs.

without price, except actual running
expenses.

REED WILL STOP IT.
The Speaker VIII Bring Civil Service !
Gabfest to an End.

Washington, Jan 1.-THE opponents
of the civil service law had much the
best of the debate in the house yester-
day so far as the number of those en-
gaging in it were concerned. Nine of
the eleven speakers were of the oppo-
sition.
The friends of the law are very anx-
iOus to shut off further debate and this
will have the cooperation of Speaker
Reed and the rules committee. Mr..
Moody, who has charge of the bill.
gave notice that he would test the
sense of the house today to close de-
bate.
The opposition Immediately sent word
to all in their ranks to be on hand and
they say they viii have no difficulty in
defeating the motion.
Mr.. Brumm (Rep. Pa) opposed the
reform system He doubted, he said,
whether the president of the United
States, members of the supreme court
senate or house could pass some of the
civil service examinations. He defend
ed what is known as the political pull
which he said ought to be cultivated.
Every young man should have such in
huence. and if they did not have it, it
was the best evidence that they We're
unworthy of political privileges. He
was ready to vote for the repeal of the
law.
Mr.. Mccall CRep. Mass.) was the first
speaker to defend the merit system. In
replying to the criticisms of some of the
opponents of the system, he raised
laugh at the expense of Mr.. GrOSVenOr,
who, according to his (NIcCanc) caIcu-
lations, wanted over 115 per cent of the
offices exempted from the operation of
the civil service law.
Mr.. COwherd CDem. MOO called at
tentiOn to some alleged violations of
the alleged civil service law in this dis
trict.
He said it was inconsistent for the
president to play to the grand stand
with such grandiIoquent support of
the law, while his subordinates were
entertaining the bleachers by turning
the rascals out
Mr. Sulloway CRep. N. H) proudly
proclaimed himself a spokesman with
out any mental reservation.
The civil service law, he said, had
been conceived in iniquity, born in in
fanny and administered in cowardice
and by Democrats. He believed the
government belonged to its friends.
Mr.. Sideways remarks were pic
turesque and he kept the anti-reform-
ers in a continuous roar of approval.
After some further remarks by Mr..
Parker CRep. N. j. in defense of the
law. and Mr.. Low IN. V in favor of
modification of the law, the debate
closed for the day.
At o'clock the house adjourned.

HE SAW THE BODIES.
Further Confirmation of the Reported
Burning of Seminole Indians.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE Indian Of
flee has not received any information
regarding the burning at the stake of
the two Seminole Indians, charged with
the murder of Mrs. Simmons. A tele-
gram asking for the facts has been sent
to Agent Wisdom. Commissioner Jones,
of the Indian bureau expresses the be-
lief that there will be no general up
rising because of the tragedy Serious
trouble, he says, will be averted.
Governor Brown of the Seminole ma
ton, who is in the city on business with
the Indian Office was a caller on the
commissioner today. With him was the
father of McGheisey, one of the men
put to death. They both denounce the
affair as an outrage and declare that
an innocent person has suffered death.
Governor Brown asserts that the g.
year-old son of Mrs. Simmons had de-
clared to a deputy marshal that Nc
GheiSey was not the man who commit
ted the murder. The governor has re
ceived from G. P. Linn, the national
physician of the Seminoles, the follow
ing confrmatOry dispatch telling of the
burning of the two Indians: 't"Okla-
hOma mob took Lincoln McGheisey
and Palmer Sampson across the line

them at the stake. 1 saw the dead

PLACE FOR DURRANT.
CrematOry at Pasadena Agrees
to Receive the Remains.

San Francisco. Jan. 1.-THE body of
Theodore Durrant lies in the home of
his parents. Under the law it must be
disposed of today or the health author
tiles will take charge of it. No crerna-
tory in this neighborhOOd will receive
it. No cemetery but one will give it
shelter and the parents fear plot to
rob the grave The last resource lies
in shipping remains to the crematOry
at Pasadena, the managers of which
have consented to reduce the remains
to ashes.
Late last night it was decided that
the body should be removed this after
noon to the undertaker's where it will
be placed in a zinc box for shipment to
Los Angeles on the afternoon train.
The remains will be accompanied on
the journey by the father and mother
and will arrive in Los Angeles on Wed
nesday afternoon.
The Rev. Father Lynch of St. Peters
church visited the Durrant home last
night and held an informal burial ser
vice. After his departure a number of
the friends of the family gathered in
the rooms and sang psalms and other
music as Durrant liked in his lifetime.

Speaking of her she said: Rose

Her mother is poor and is blind. The
girl has been a bad character for a
number of years. Once got a home
for her in Kansas City and sent her
there She didn't go there at all, but
went to a disreputable place in Kansas
City I find that she is the ringieader

whom I have had to take in charge
were started in the wrong way by this
girl and had I not thought that Rose
Thompson was over 16 years of age I
would have taken her to Beloit long
ago. Her mother has consented to have
her taken to Beloit and 1 will go as
soon as I can make arrangements for
the other two girls. They are Topeka

made I cannot give their names. Three

A RUB DOWN.
Hard for Lazy Man but Pays for the
Trouble.

One has often read or heard of the
good effect of a quick sponge bath and
rub down in the morning, but until it
has really been put in practice for
fortnight the value is not appreciat-
ed
Moderately cold water should be APP
piled to arms first and these briskly
rubbed with towel and open hand un-
til smooth, dry and warm.
Then treat the stomach, back, legs
and feet separately in in the same
way.
One is inclined to feel a hearty, boy
ish desire for breakfast and if the
healthy life of body thus begun is de-
sirable to maintain, the person could,
with profit, avoid coffee at breakfast
and use Postum Food COftee ana some
whole wheat or Oat preparations.
If chemical research is of any sort
of value in making clear the food
value of various articles it has never
done a greater service to mankind than
in the analysis of Coffee and Postum
The first shows no food value what
ever, but is shown to contain the same
alkaloids as tobacco, opium. whiskey,
and to have a similar effect upon the
human body as this famous trio have;
ultimately producing in many cases,
heart failure, paralysis, stomach ana
liver disease and other serious compli-
cations arising from daily poisoning
of the nervous system.
True everyone must be allowed the
liberty of taking into his or her lnui-
