MURDERED BY A VOLUNTEER.
and Killed by n Desper-
ate Recruit.

Denver, Col, Aug. 1.-Two police
officers were murdered here at one
o'clock yesterday morning by a re-
cruit belonging to Company L, Thir-
t%y-fourth volunteer infantry, nov sta
toned at Fort Logan. Three soldiers
had been raising n disturbance in
Louis Klipfel's saloon, at the corner of
Market and Twentieth streets, during
the night, and Offer Tom Clifford was
notified of their action and asked to
keep his eye on them. He followed
them for an hour or so and came
upon the men at the corner of Blake
and Twentieth streets. He was about
to accost the soldiers when one Of
them turned OF him and placing the
muzzle of a revolver to his breast, sent
a bullet through his heart. Clifford ex-
pired almost instantly.
All three of the soldiers then started
to run. but two were overtaken and
captured. The one that dill the shoot
ing, however. continued running. with
Officer W. +. Griffith on a bicycle in
pursuit.

legs and open lots for several blocks,
Griffith patronizing the streets. On
Sixteenth street, near the Union depot
the officer saw the man making for
the viaduct. He shot at him twice, the
soldier returning the fire, MORALLY
wounding Griffith. He died a few min
utes later while being conveyed in an
ambulance to the station.
The entire police and detective force
of the city was sent out after the man
and the country for miles around has
been patrolled and searched without
getting any trace of the double muir
dered, except that a man answering his
description vas seen OF Fifteenth
street n few moments after Griffith
was shot.
His two companions, who are now in
Jail, deny any knowledge of the muir
derer. but from other recruits who
saw the three together during Satur-
day evening it was learned that the
name of the man who did the killing
was Wellington c. Llewellyn, and that
he came frcm Globe, Ariz.
4 reward has been offered for him
dead or alive.
There was talk of lynching should
he be taken alive, but this seems to
nave died out.

TRIAL OF GUNBOAT NEWPORT.
satisfactory Performance After Be.
ing Seven Months Out of Dry
dOck-Her Steaming Radius

Washington, Aug. 16.-Another sat-
~isfactory trial of the gunboat Newport
has been made. After the Newport
had been a year and a half in commits
sion and seven months out of drydock
Ill a run of 156 hours she made slight
ly over eight knots nm hour with a
coal consumption of slightly over Il
tons per day. AS her bunkers hold
232 tonS of coal this indicates Il steam
ing radius of 10 days or 3.122 knots.
The Newport like the other gunboats
of her class is copper-bottomed and
her efficiency is not impaired by re-
naming long in the water. This test
of the Newport conforms closely to the
results obtained in other ships of her
type which include the NicEsburg. An
napolis, Marietta, Princeton and Wheel
ing. Each is of 1000 tons displace-
ment.

industry of this country, an especial
effort will be made to make an attract

position. and Director Dodge, of the
agricultural department, has pre-

CONSIDERING ARMY MATTERS,
Conference with AdJt.-Gen. Cor
bin-Further Enlistments.

Washington, Aug. 16.-Secretary
Root gave his attention largely TO
army matters Yesterday. He had long
conversations with Adjt.-Gen. Corbin
relative to the army, its strength,
equipment and supplies. these being
considered in connection with this
statements that have been furnished
by the heads of the different bureaus.
The question of enlisting and the
selection of officers for additional vol
unteers regiments also was under con-
~sideration. but it was stated that no
decision to call for more troops was
considered. While it is said that five
regiments will be organized the mum
Der has not been definitely determined
upon. Neither is it settled whether
all shall be infantry regiments. 1t has
been suggested that another cavalry
regiment or two may he of great adj
vantage in the Philippines. The only
objection to organizing two cavalry
regiments is said to be the great diff
ficulty and cost of transporting horses
to the Philippines.
The recruiting now going on will
continue. The new regiments may be
organized at some other posts than
where the first ten have been stationed,
as several localities are anxious Il have
them.

stinct for the ultimate trend Of lie
revisionist movement
Dreyfus and Ills Ego.
Dreyfus is generally unfortunate In
the use of a pen. He lacks artistic
sensibilities and car not disassociate
himself from his ego to enter into the
feelings of others. One sees this
harsh egotism in his correspondence
with his wife. He was never more I'M
fortunate than in the letter complain
ing that NJ. Casimir-Perier did not
keep a promise to him. It exasper.
ated Casimir-Perier, who treated as q
foul libel the assertion that he, as
president of the republic, entered into
a pact with an officer accused OF trea-
son.
VIII Make the Fur Fly.
Casimir-Perier has a habit Of think
ing morbidly. He has taken deep Of
Tense at several assertions of MERCER
and will try conclusions with him to-
day. We expect fur to fy-in Casimir-

Countess Won Munstef's Letters.

ambassador took an interest in Drey-
fus.
M o.
The Schwartzkoppen letter, speak
ing of the i%mpetuous Intervention in
the affair of the German emperor for
reasons unknown even to Hohenlohe,
is believed to be genuine. In this con-
n~ection, it is said, in military circles,
that a lady in whom Emperor William
took 4 deep interest had fished out for
him Dreyfus as a person competent to
inform his majesty on French military
questions. This lady, it is said, was q
relative of the late Jacques Saint Cere,
of the Figaro, who was condemned to
13 months imprisonment for black
mailing the late Millionaire Max Le-
baudy.
She came to Paris as a pictorial art
list, as the story goes, and exhibited in
the solon. There was such a lady, but
| should be sorry to declare her the
mistress of the German emperor and
the temptress of Dreyfus. What the
officers say about her may be another
lie, which should be nailed TO the coun-
ter. Military credulity is boundless.

I have devoted twenty years of my life
in Washington, New York and Boston,
in endeavorins to advance and ameliorate
the condition of wage women. By ele-
waiting and dignifying the industries in
which women are engaged it IS hoped
great good can be accomplished by en-
couragiNg women in building up a perma-
nent national and international exhibit
to comm e1norate woman's worth, and by
securing national recognition as Industrial
and patriotic features.

bers some Of the most prominent women

The friendly interest manifested by our
national legislators in giving their In
dorsement and influence to this industrial
exhibit proves their appreciation Of the
work, which, If successful-and there is
every evidence that it will be-means the
recognition Of woman as industrial and
patriotic factors.
Letters Of Endorsement have been re-
ceived from the governors Of nearly all
the states in the Union one or two Of
which are here published for the encour-
agement of those interested in the work.
and which. we hope, will attract the at
tention of those who have not heretofore
given the exhibit any serious thought.
