WASHINGTON LETTER.

From our Regular Correspondent
1t is daily becoming plain
er to close observers that Mr..
Mckinley and his advisers
do not regard next years
campaign as a republican
walk-over. They are diligent.
ly studying ways and means
for coralling electoral votes
that they consider doubtful.
The trip that Mr.. Mckinley
issnow arranging to III a k e
next summer to the Pacific
coast is one of the ways deci-
ded upon. They do not ex-
pect to be able to carry Della
ware, Maryland or Kentucky
again, but they hope for Ne
braska and Kansas, both of
which states are likely to be
visited on Mr.. McKinley's
western trip. They are also
beginning to realize t h a t
some sort of a sluff against
trusts must be made, Repre-
sentative Lands, ofIndiana,
has come to Washington es-
pecially to urge upon the ad.
minlstration the necessity of
doing something to convince
the voters of the middle west
that the administration is
antagonistic to the trusts.
MIR. Lands has done so m e
very plain talking about the
danger of the republican par
ty and it is evident that he
has frightened some Of the
administration men.
Attorney General Griggs,
doubtless acting under Or
ders from Mr.. Mckinley, has
made a play to shift the re-
sponsibility for his recen t
queer letter about trusts
from the shoulders of the ad-
n,inistration. by proceeding
against the Chesapeak and
Ohio Association, generally
known as the soft coal trust.
under the Sherpan antitrust
law. The suit Was instituted
in Cincinnati and will be d.
rected by the Solicitor Gen.
eral of the United States. The
public will watch the prosecu
ton of this case closely, ow-
ing to the Attorney General
having so recently stated,
in writing, that the trusts
could not be reached by Fed
eral laws.
Evidently Admiral Dewey
isn't one OF those who believe
the end of the Philippine
trouble to be in sight. OF
course he is too diplomatic
to discuss such a question
where his opinion was likely
to get out, when he cabled
the Navy Department to send
him six months engineering
supplies for his fleet, every
employee of that department
knew that it was just as tho
he bad cabled that it would
not, in his opinion, be safe to
materially reduce the pres
ent strength OF the feet at
Manila for some time t o
come.
The latest Philippine news
seems to justify the opinion
of those who believe that the
fighting over there is liable
to 90 on for an indefinite

The Bible i'm the Philippines

London, March lS.-Recent political
events have stirred the British and For
eign Bible Society TO some prompt feats Of
translation, and portions of the New Testa-
ment in no less than four tongues are in
preparation for the Philippines. The first
three Gospels and the Acts in Tagalog, the
language Of the dominant native race in
the Philippines are actually printed: 81.
Lukes Gospel in Llocano is nearly finish
ed, and the same book in Bicol is ready for
issue. Both these latter tongues are spok-
en- in the Philippines. These renderings. it
appears, are largely due to the energy of

Central American Characters.

(From the New Orleans Times -Democrat.)
I am quite well acquainted with all the
leading figures in this last Central Ameri-
can imbroglio, remarked a former resi-
dent of Salvador ''and without exception
they are personally good fellows That is
characteristic of their educated classes
The average military chief may be q rob-
Der and an assassin. but he is charming
chap to meet at ones club. President Ia
laya of Nicaragua is an athletic, nervous
man Of extremely polished address. He
speaks several languages and is great
lover of music. General Torres is a
swarthy half-breed, with a crippled left
hand-the result of a machete stroke The
name Americana is poison to him, but ne
can control his feelings when he meets one
socially. General Reyes Governor of Blue
fields, is an amiab1e gentleman OF s..
student and a man of advanced ideas. He
really favors encouraging American COM
merce. Ex-President Bonila of Honduras
is still in early middle age. He is a law
yer by profession and something of a
dreamer He is well up in English letters
and has an aversion to the military service
One seldom sees him in uniform. His
cousin, Manuel, governor of the northern
department, is little, dark, crafty man,
very suave and bland, and with an appall-
ing record for cruelty. The stories told
about him may or may not be true. Gen
eral Sierria, the new President, is pro-
fessional soldier, fine linquist, like most
of the others, by the way, and a man of
very distinguished presence. General Vas
quez, who is supposed to head a revolu-
tionary party, is distinctly cosmopolite.
He has spent ten years in America, and
laughs at the antiquated ideas of his con-
temporaries He has piercing black eyes.
set obliquely, and a flowing moustache.
His English Is free from accent General
Jeffries his chief aide, is a typical Ameri-
can soldier of fortune. He has an impress
sive front and violent temper. Captain
Drummond is well known in New Orleans.
He lost his left eye in the last revolution
and now wears a glazed patch over it.
They say he was once a captain in the
British army and saw service afterward
in Algiers under French colors''

4 Joke Reversed.

(From the Cleveland Plain Dealer)
The women folk up in a certain board
ing house were having a good time the
Jther night. They had a hen party up in
3ne of the rooms, and loud were the sounds
of mirth, while shifts that smelled like
piping hot chocolate f1oated out upon the
air.
The men were mad. They could not IN
derstand how the ladies could have a
pleasant time without them, and at last
spies congregated at the door and basely
listened to the proceedings within.
They're having high old time NUT
tered one Let's just walk in
Better not" suggested another. who
knew them better But, jimminy, l wish
they'd pass out some refreshments. I'm
beastly hungry"
Then they retired to a corner and talk
ed. Ten minutes later the girls were rous-
ed by voice outside, calling one of them.
I guess it's Dick remarked a young
married woman. I'm just see what he
wants No, he sha'n't come in," and she
opened the door and slipped into the hall.
The next minute came cry of wrath, and
the others rushed to see what was the nat
ter. There she stood. before pile of bot
ties. There were big bottles and little
bottles medicine BOTTLES, beer bottles
and here and there a whisky flask, two of
them very nice ones, too, but all empty,
and the pile was surmounted by placard,
please fill and return; we're thirsty, too. -

The French simpIeton.
(From the Boston Traveller


NJ. Calino, the popular French simple
ton, who performs in the humorous litera-
ture of French much the same function
that the traditional Paddy does in En-
glish literature, has been made the sub
iect of grave study. in which his inno
cent stupdities are carefully ana!yZed. He
is nothing more or less than convenient
personifcation of a type of the harm -ess
blunderer and complacent lackwit found
in all ages and countries In France his
savings reflect however, something of the
picturesqueness which is characteristic of
the nation.
Calinos blundering, its seems, began at
an early age. He had not craft enough 10
tell lie that would hold water for a mo-
ment. One day at school he got into a
fight with a companion, and came home
with a cash on his forehead.
How did you get that cut?' asked his
father.
What cut, pap?"
Why, that great cash on your fore
head"
Il bit it myself, there, papa"
Bit yourself, Why. you couldn't bite
yourself on your forehead.
Il got up on a chair TO do ii, pap.
Later in life Calino delivered himself Of
the following bit of wisdom:
''As for me- l don't care so much for
the sun as / do for the moon. You see,
the sun only comes after 1t gets daylight.
when we could see just as well without it,
but the moons some use-it shines at
| night
Early one morning, when Calino was
out with his gun, he saw robin in the
garden of his friend Camille. He aimed
at it, but it dropped below the top of the
wall. Then Gallon went into the house,
crept up stairs softly, stole into Camil. e s
bedroom without waking Camille, who
was in bed, pointed his gun out of the
window at the robin and fred-bang.
Camille laped out of bed in wild confu-
| sion and alarm.
"W-w-why-w- the mat
| ter?"
"Oh, did l wake you up?" said Calino.
Il pulled the trigger just as softly as I
| could"

The girls heard an unguarded giggle
from up the hall, and knew their tormen-
tors were hidden in the shadows there.

the chagrin of the owners of those TASKS.
who are begging in vain for a return OF

The next time they may not be so ready
to leave their things lying about so pro-
miscuously, for the girls say they make
lovely souvenirs.

NOVEL AND PERILoUs RIDE.
Dangerous scheme of Negro Boy
for Free transportation.

Richmond, Va. March IS.-A faint cry
coming from under one of the sleepers of
the Florida special was heard when the
train arrived yesterday morning from St.
Augustine. Policeman Lange looked under
the car, and found on a ladder small boy,
about twelve years old. chained tight to
the place.
The boy proved TO be George Davis, a
negro jockey, from Cairo, III. He was very
weak from hunger and cold. Davis had
been riding horses in Los Angeles, whence
he went to st. Augustine by easy stages.
He got tired of that place and concluded
to go home via Richmond.
He concealed himself beneath one of the
sleepers of the fast-fying Florida special
and TO secure himself against accident
fastened himself with chains. During the
long ride he remained stretched on the
ladder without food drink, or slesp.
When he arrived here he was suffering
greatly from exposure. He was taken 10
the city hospital. where he is now under
treatment. He will recover.
