Meiklejohn, the assistant secretary Of
war, is at present supposed to be in Wis
consin, whittier he went two weeks ago to
make a personal inspection of the Fox
river improvements. a scheme which has
given the engineering bureau endless
trouble and which now requires some
recommendation at the hands of
the secretary to congress at the next ses-
sion. He has been notified of what has
happened and Is expected to return to
Washington to assume charge of the war
department until such time as the presi-,
dent shall name a permanent secretary,
Probably that will be by the enc Of the
present month. and by the list of August
Secretary Alger will be at liberty to lay
his task. He is much wearied by
the weight Of responsibility he has borne
for nearly two years and a half. He has
aged many years in the opinion of his
and is in need Of rest. He pro-
poses to depart for the northwest and
spend some time in the lumber camps
belonging to him and then to- pay visits
to his children. These will occupy his time
until well along into next fall. About
after that the secretary dies not
speak, but it is surmised that he will
then be ready. in view of his already an
n decision. to take such part in
the Michigan senatorial contest as con-
ditions at that time will warrant.

The American Contention
Is a Just One.
Is PROVEN BY EVIDENCE
That Was Discovered By Senator Fair
banks Who Has Just Returned--
Soldiers May Yet be Sent to the
Pyramid HarbOr District.

Chicago, July Ca Tribune special
from Washington says Senator Fair
banks of the joint high commission had
a conference with President Mckinley
and Secretary Hay at the white house on
the Alaskan boundary dispute. The sem
ator reports that from personal observa-
ton he is firmly convinced that the con-
tentions made by this government are
correct. and if the modus vivendi is
agreed upon it must be upon the terms
Of the United States. enator Fairbanks
has been ali over the country in the vi
cinlty of kluckWan, Dyea. Skagway and
the territory in dispute and finds lncOn-
tloNertible evidence that the contentious
of this government are correct. 1t was
said that this government will not yield
a foot of territory, and that unless the
British government agrees Upon a mOdus
Vivendl on the terms which this govern
ment offered there will be no meeting of
the joint high commission on August 2.
While Senator Fairbanks declined to
discuss the subject Of the position occu-
pied by the Canadian police. because he
| may again be called upon to deal with
the Alaskan question, it was learned
that members of this force are now in
the Porcupine region, which unQuestiOn-
ably belongs to this government. The
orders which We're given some time ago
for sending American troops to Pyramid
harbor a not been rescinded, but are
still held in allegiance at the request of
the British government. In view of the
latest information furnished the state
department on this point it would not
be surprising if the British government is
notified that American troops will be
sent to Pyramid harbor whether Great
Britain objects or not. The government
is determined to protect the interests of
its citizens and hold it's territory no mat
ter what the POSITION of the British gov
rnmen may De.

Coats For the Soldiers.

San Francisco, July 2O.-The Red Cross
society has taken the question Of cloth
ing for the returning volunteers into it's
own hands and the first installment of

Were Shot By MeXicanS.

Tucson, Ariz., July 20.-A NogaIes spe-
cial to the Star says that the grand jury
discovered that four Mexicans had been
recently kidnapped at Nogales with the
connivance of two officials of Santa Cruz
county, and handed over to the Mexican
authorities without due process of law.
The four men kidnapped Were summarily
tried and shot by Mexican authorities.
An effort to indict the district attorney,
Harlow, on account of the outrage failed.
1t is alleged that the MeXicans kidnapped
were hard cases. This means used to
dispose of them was with the understand
ing that the kidnapping and execution
should be suppressed, or the relations be-
tween Americans and MexicanS on both
sides of the line, which are now very cor
dial, might be disturbed, if official action
was taken by the American authorities.

How London Views It.

london. July 2O.-The Standard this
morning in an editorial article regarding
the resignation of Secretary of Wa
Alger says:
President Mckinley's prompt accept
ance of Secretary Ayers resignation is
equivalent to an admission that the de-
partlnent has been badly managed. 1t Is
significant that the resignation followed
so quickly on the Manila correspondents
round cbin. Algerism is the blot on
the Mckinley administration. 1t has
given the enemies Of the imperialist pol
icy the most effective weapon that could
nave been forged, and President Mckin-
ley can wrest it from them only by the
appointment of a successor whose past
commands confidence.
The Times describes the resignation as
"a decided victory for public opinion and
public morals over political ganlza
tons. BY resigning, Secretary Alger has
practically allowed Judgment to go
against him by default, and has relieved
the Mckinley administration from a re-
sponsibility that was assuming serious
proportions. 1t is the first and most es-
sential step toward the publication of the
republican party. and indeed of the whole
political system of the United States.
1t is for the citizens of che United States
to take care that the remova of a super
fetal symptom does not divert their at
tention from the root of the mischief
The Daily News has a similar editorial.
1t says:
He might have defied public opinion to
the last, but that Mckinley means to
| stand for a second term and had to be
on his good behavior with the electorate.
The papers generally regard the reslg-
nation as a prelude to a vigorous policy
in the Philippines and the recall Of Gen
eral Otis.

A RACE AGAINST TIME.

Burning with suspicion at Aiargaret'a
confidential interview with the confed-
crate officer, l was bent rather on
spending valuable time in elimination
than in working out the most promis-
ing method of making good our escape.
Margaret" 1 cried. what did you
say to Col. Archard?'
Il told him something that would
have passed us through his lines had 1t
not been for this interruption"
"Oh, Margaret, you are on all sides"
She cast an impatient glance at me,
and, disdaining to reply, turned to
PUNK and began to deliberate with
him as TO what course we had better
pursue; q deliberntion in which 1 could
not choose but take part
Should we attempt to join the gener-
al? Margaret and were both in favor
of doing so, but Punk oyerruled us,
saving that the general had doubtless
been persevering in his endeavors to
get near the railroad, and had at
| tackled the camp in order to give an
opportunity 10 some other corps of his
men to slip by and accomplish his OBJ
| ieOt. that he had no expectation of
crushing the enemy, only to distract
| his attention, and, this effected, he
would be OF to some other point.
We had but little time to listen to
| Plunk's explanation of the generals
movements, for we heard the sound of
| horses hoofs coming from the direction
we had been pursuing, and in a few
minutes some 20 horsenSen came trot-
ting leisurely toward us. BY the light
of the moon it was easy to see that they
were confederates, at their head an Of
fieer whom, even in the dim light, was
Mortified at recognizing as Maj iRerna
Berante 1t was critical moment. II
he recognized rae, not only would al
we had gained be lost, but our citizens
dress would enable him to swing Plunl
and me from the branch of tree with
out trial or benefit of clergy. Margaret
who rode a little in advance, turned he
head as she passed him.
"How far to Col. Archard's camp?
. he asked.
Reckon you'll find the picket abou
a mile above yo'. !" replied PUNK, initial
ing the southern accent.
{ Margaret had ridden on, I was keeI
: ing as far from Berante as possible.
S '@Where are you going?" asked til
; major, regarding me intently.

THE LIGHT ON THE CLOUDS.

For an hour we watched the slowly
moving bodies of cavalry; then the
ranks began to grow thinner; detach-
1nents were smaller; scattered wagons
appeared. numbered up the valley, and
passed out of sight far in the distance.
Ambulances, men supported in their
saddles by their comrades, evidently
5nvaiids, followed, the distance betwees
chem and the main body constantly in
Srreasing. The rear was brought up by
&tragglers. with here and there groups
of army traders, the former devoting
themselves to plumber, the latter bar
gaining, cheating citizens and soldiers
alike with pinchbeck trinkets.
When Punk was aroused and
learned that our object had been ac-
complished by woman. his mortiiiea-
zion knew no bounds. He went about
getting breakfast sullenly, muttering
that If we ever got back TO the COM
Enand he would give up scouting and
turn company cook. While we were
eating our breakfast we discussed the
matter of our return. Should we wait
din evening and slIull1 through under
cover of the night, or set out boldly in
broad day? PUNK was strongly in ia
w ct waiting till evening, and Mar
sgaret was decidedly of his opinion.
would have declined to listen to PUNK,
but was persuaded by Margaret.
We spent most of the day in arrang-
ing the stories we would tell on the way.
At the outset we discovered one fact
2ikely to cause trouble. PUNK was in
Favor of always making an explanation
that would involve the greatest I'M
truth; was in favor Of mild prevari-
cation; while Margaret would have
nothing buttruth.
Lieutenant" said PUNK, 81 suppose
Z must obey orders, but if.this party
Es tz travel with no other sDnuor~itiA''
shan the truth,
10 go alone"
The generals statement that he had
gwen me PUNK to supply my own de
fciencies occurred to me, and 1 was
3oath 10 enforce my own plans in The
face of the corporal's opposition.
How would it do" suggested, at
tempting a compromise, "for you to liz
like a trooper, and for me to travel OF
q system of white lies, while Miss Beaci
sticks rigidly to the TRUTH
That" responded the corporal
--wonld be like the cavalry charging
the men seated with their faces to tn
crupper, the infantry pouring volley
into the cavalry, and the artillery fiji
ing at heaven"
Margaret smiled. ''I'n tell you wha
we viii do" she said to me. ''Sine
you command the party, the corpors
can conform to your stories, and L
keep silent"
Done" said I.
And now that we had gained all "
had hoped for, and had before us II
peril OF carrying back the news, v
made a discovery that filed us wit

the biz. There 1gsi6, Directly before
US, was the fiaring light.
Punk" 1 said, ~there are troops
over there; that light looks ominOus."
"A single campfire would do that"
replied the corporal, reassuringly.
We did not dare pass through
Georgetown; it was too early in the
evening; the citizens would doubtless
be excited by the passage of troops
during the day, and would not be in
clined to sleep; therefore, turning to
the left just before coming TO the town.
we passed south of it around the base
of bill. striking the road again mile
beyond.
We had reached the bottom of de-
preston between two hills. and were
beginning the ascent of the farther
one. when we were suddenly brought
