THE ROW.
In the CITY of Mexico.

Mr.. George H. Murphy, of the state
department., arrived In the city the
day before yesterday, says the Next
can H-rsld, and registered at n OF
the hotels as from Hillsboro, N. q.
That is where Mr.. Murphy belongs,
though his hs residence is now in
Washington, as he occupies a position
in the consular bureau of the state de-
partment.
He has been ~vice-consul, in charge,
at Chemnitz, Berlin, Hanover and
| Luxembourg, Inc returned to Washing
ton for Germany three years ago, dur
ing which time he has constantly re-
sided at Washington, except for four
months last spring when he served In
a consular capacity at Colon. Columbia.
In the consular bureau, he is under X.
j. Chiffon, who has also visited this
country. -
When g e yesterday by a reporter,
Mr.. Murphy acknowledged that
his object in this city was to
investigate the differences be-
tween Consul General Barlow
aud Vice-Consul Bennett, which
have attracted so much attention here
and which became sensational and con-
| spicuous when Consul Barlow suspend
ed Vice Consul Bennett and debsr-
red him from the promises of the.con-
sulate.
As to the merits of the case, the
plan which he had mapped out for the
investigation, the persons he had ex-
smiued or intended to examine and
other details Mr.. Murphy could not be
induced to speak. He said, however,
that his investigation would be i'm
partial and that the decision OF the
state department would be based on
strict Justice.
Mr.. Murphy will be glad to see any
one who has any information or com
plant about the administration OF the
consular office in this city or any in
formation about the difference that
has for some time kept asunder the two
consular representatives Of the United
States in this city.
Yesterday Mr.. Murphy saw both
Messrs Barlow and Bennett as well as
other persons sof prominence in this
city, but he could not disclose anything
of what a been done nor could he
say how long he expected to stay in this
city. On his way down he inspected
the consu,ates at Nuevo Laredo and
Monterey and from this city he will
proceed to the West Indies, to continue
his visit OF inspection. But as soOn as he
has completed his inquiry and report
iu this city he will send IL on by mail
to the department., which will then in
due course make known it's decision.
1t is q matter OF cOpgratulstion
among Americans that an official of
the state department has come down to
put an end to the deadlock which has
for ONE tim e past existed at the Unit
ed States con sulate and 20 clear up the
mystery enveloping the schism between
its two iucumbents, and its present
highly anomalous status, which Is at
tended with many Inconvenience to
busin ess men.

go. The expedition was not a main
movement Of the army. He expected tc
take the field when the real invasion
occurred,t but until that was ready he
thought his place was in this country,
looking after the work of organization
and preparation.
"That is right, general, 3" the presi-
dent said. 1--WE would not ask you to
take charge of this expedition" Then
General Miles proceeded with his list.
He tool up the major generals in the
order of seniority. He said something
nice about each one as he mentioned
him, but after %bestowing the compli-
men5 he went on to tell why he didn't
think that general would be the best
for this particular service. So he went
down the list "bIackballing," to use
the word employed by one familiar
with the circumstances, each general
in turn, until he came to General
Shafter.
"Shafter," said General Miles, sis a
fighter. He is a good man for a short
rough and tumble campaign as this
Santiago movement is likely to be. He
has seen hard service in the west and
is fitted for such kind of work" He
didn't ''blackball" Shaftey, but let his
commentator stand for him without
drawbacks. Shafter was the only one
of the generals in whose qualifications
for the Santiago expedition General
Miles did not find something objection
able.
Adjutant General Corbin followed
General Miles with an opinion to SIM
liar effect, that Skaters western ex.
p%erience had prepared him for an expe-
dition of the size and'charaoter contem-
plated. At that time, it will be remem-
bered, the movement upon Santiago
was looked upon az a minor incident of
the war. Nobody imagined that it was
the climax. When General Miles and
General Corbin had spoken, the presi-
dent said, "Well, let General Shafter
be the man."
ADd thus it was settled that the COM
mander of the Santiago expedition
should be William R. Shafter. Them
fuenoes were purely military. Political.
social or local reasons never entered less
into the assignment of a military duty.
The fact that General Miles did not
"blackball' Shafter, but let his recon-
mendation stand without any string tied
to it, settled the selection. The appoint
ment was made upon merit, and Cen
eral Miles Judgment of the merit was
accepted. Cor. ST. Louis Globe-Demo-

ment- without health, all the talent, all
the genius, and all the ambition in the
world are worthless. A boy should be
taught that success in any walk of life, that
happiness, and life itself, are dependent
upon his care of his health.
When a man feels that he is losing his
health and vigor, when his cheeks no long
er glow, his step is no longer elastic and
the sparkle of health is no longer in his
eyes, he should work less, rest more and
resort to the right remedy to restore his
bodily vigor. DR.. Pierce's Colder Medical

A BUSINESS TIP.
Mrs. Russell Sage Let 1t Escape at n
wOman's Meeting.

Mrs. Russell Sage Let 1t Escape at n
Oma Meeting.
Mrs. Russell Sage, whose face is so
often seen where the good works of
charity and philanthropy are being
planned or performed, evidently forgot
for once in her life that che was the
wife of a great %financier, and in her en-
thusiasm for a good cause let out a Sc
cret that made Wall street open it's eyes
the other day and start thinking.
1t was at a meeting of some of the
women managers of the Women's hos
pital, at Fourth venue and F~orty-ninth
street, III New York. The question Of
building a new and more elaborate
structure on the old site came up, and
the argument was advanced that the
noise of the engines of the adjoining
railroads retarded the improvement of
many patients. Then it was that Mrs.
Sage showed that she had her husbands
confidence in business matters as in
other things.
my reasons for retaining and re-
building on the present site" said Mrs.
Sage, "are decided. This location is
preferable in every way. We may re-
build here and have no fear of the noise
of the engines, for in the near future,
when they use electric power to haul
the engines put of the city, there will
be no noise to speak of. That will, l
hope and believe. be done in the near
future"
Electricity to be used on the New
York Central in the near futurei That's
a pretty good tip. It means hat the
new power is being more seriously con-
sidered by railways generally and that
such consideration is being kept very
quiet. Chairman Chauucey II. Depew
of the board of directors of the Wander
bilt system seemed surprised when he
heard that Mrs. Sage had told Of the
New York Centrai's plan. 'It is true
said he, THAT such q change is Contem-
plated, but / don't think il will be Per
fected in the neal future. Mrs. Sage is,
however, correctly informed. New
