no CATSLIKE THESE.
A Chicago Woman Who Fancies
FeIines.
Beauties That Are Imported From
The Cat Club of Lady Beres-
ford London.

Chicago, April 2S.-Chicago has
a new distinction-the finest cats
in the country are owned here.
Mrs. Clinton Locke has made tc
her already large collection of felines
five rare thoroughbred animals, i'm.
ported directly from England. Mrs
Locke's cattery is at 2S25 Indiana
avenue. Every one is rare, fancy
bred cat. The lot not only adds
much to the value of the collection,
but places Chicago at the head OF
the list as having the finest and
rarest cats in the country.
In this latest addition to the cats
of Chicago is genuine royal Sa-
mese male cat, probably the only
one in the country. He is not mere
ly descendant of the royal Siamese
animal, but was born in Siam and
imported directly from his native
land. In addition to the Siamese
cat there is a full blooded white An
CORA with round, blue eyes.
The fact that it has good hearing
makes it novelty and adds greatly
to its value. Besides these there
came wonderful pair of pure
black Angoras, which are rare in
this country. The fifth animal is a
fawn-colored Angora, also a scarce
animal in America, principally be-
cause of its color.
All these cats were secured by
Mrs. Locke through the Lady Mar
Gus Beresford Cat Club of London.
Mrs. Locke's daughter has been
travelling in Europe the last year
and one of the chief objects of her
travels was to procure animals for
her mothers cattery. All the ia
nous batteries of England were
visited and the finest animals that
could be brought were taken up and
brought to this country. With this
latest consignment of cats to Chi
cago, the stock in the city is made
almost complete SO far as variety
and color are concerned,
1t was Mrs. Locke's intention in
buying these animals, not only to
add to the value of her own collec-
lection but to made the Beresford
Cat Club of Chicago, of which she is
president, one of the foremost in the
country. She now has nearly ev-
cry variety OF Angora known, and
in addition has an assortment of
colors among her cats that will COM
pare with that in any other private
cattery in America. In her collec
ton are pure white, silver, orange,
red, black, black and white, cream,
fawn, chinchilla, blue and smoke
colored animals.
The value of the latest addition
to Mrs. Locke's cattery cannot be
estimated. To their owner these
animals are almost priceless, for
the reason that they had been Sc
cured after long search and have
been brought across the ocean.
Every one of the animals has a long
pedigree and each is a remarkably
specimen of It's class.

ANXIOUS TO GET VOLUNTEERS HOME.
Washington, July Under direct
orders from the president, every nerve
is to be strained to get the volunteer
regiments away from the Philippines
without a days delay. Even the i'm
portant work of sending reinforce
ments is to be considered secondary to
the necessity of returning the volun-
teers. The president feels that they
have been kept too long already and is
anxious to see the last man homcward
bound. To facilitate the work the adj
ministration has ordered transports to
clear from San Francisco as soon as
they can be made ready for sea,
whether there are recruits ready or
not After the volunteers are returned
the transports will carry back full
loads of regulars and when they are
landed will return for new volunteers.
TROOPS GOING 70 MANILA.
Washington, July IA statement
prepared in the office Of the adiutant
general of the army shows that, with
the departure of the Pennsylvania from
San Francisco, about $500 reinforce
ments were dispatched to the Philip
pines this week About half of the
troops are recruits intended to fill gaps
in the regiments in the Philippines,
caused by deaths, disabilities and dis
charges There are about 5000 recruits
at San Francisco who are also intended
to recruit the regular regiments in the
Philippines up to their maximum
strength of l2s to a company, lnclud-
ing the Ninth infantry, under orders
for Manila, and troops at San Francis
co, there are 1000 ready to start for
Manila as soon as transportation can

SENSATION IN COURT.
The Trial OF August Becker at Chicago for
Wife Murder Collapses because OF
Faulty Indictment.

Chicago, June 80. THE trial of Au.
gust Becker, the South Side butcher
charged with having murdered, then
dsmembered and boiled the remains
of his wife in order to leave him free
to marry Ida Sutterlin, a l7-year-old
girl with whom he had become infatll-
ated came to n sudden end to-day
when 1t was found that the indictment
named Mrs. Becker as Elizabeth, when
it should have been Therese. The
court at once nolle pressed the il,dict-
ment. The jury had been sworn in
and the defense asked for discharge
of the prisoner on the ground that
Becker had been placed in jeopardy
and therefore he could not be tried
again. The court denied therequest,
however, and a bench warrant was is
sued and Becker rearrested. A new
indictment will at once be drawn up.
The discovery that the Indictment was
faulty created somewhat of a sensation
in the court room. The result may be,
however, that Becker will escape pun
ishment, rs the case is now in such
shape that the prisoners counsel are
confident of reversal by the supr enc
court II verdict of guilty is returned.

FOR A TWO YEAR SERVICE.
The President Says That VIII he the Limit
for the Volunteer soldiers for the
Philippine Campaign.

Washington, June 80. The only or.
der which the president has given con.
corning the enlistment of a larger army
Is that recruiting shall continue at all
OF the present recruiting stations until
further orders, The 65,090 quota for
the regulsr army has already been ex.
ceeded, so that all new recruits will have
to be charged to the provisional army
Of 1900 men. No limit is to be put on
the number Of enlistments, There are
70 recruiting stations in the United
States These have been furnish
ing on an average of about LOCO
men week for the regulars. The
term Of their enlistment has been for
three years. The president and secre.
tary of warNhave decided that the vol
unteers' term shall be for two years
instead of three. This shortened time
will, it is calculated, stimulate the num-
Der OF applicants for service abroad.
Inc military authorities believe that
the entire additional force will be re-
cruited in less than two months with,
out increasing the number of recruit
ing stations, but much better record
than that is possible, The war depart
ment has determined to avoid the
demoralizing effect of influence" as
much as possible. The enlisted men will
be mixed so thoroughly that one state
will not have any more interest in
regiment than another. Consequently
the volunteer regiments will be as free
from the interference of congressman
and state officials as the movement of
the regular is, Individual discharges
will be refused in the volunteer service
as in the regular except on the recon-
mendation of the officer Immediately
in command of a soldier or for some
cause disabling a man from military
service. In other words, the new force
is to be in as close imitation of the
regulars as can be.

THE TREATY RATIFIED.

The treaty has been ratified, and the
pity is that it was not done a week ago.
Moreover. it has been ratified without
amendment or deelaratory resolution,
and without any qualification whatso-
ever. The vote was close, but it is
constitutionally more than sufficient
The prolongation Of the struggle and
the deplorable consequences of 1t, have
inspired an attempt to amend the con-
stitution. so that hereafter bare ma
iority vote may be enough for ratifi-
cation. That resolution need not be
discussed here, further than to note
that it expresses a common feeling,
that the treaty-making machinery is
vexatiously slow and cumbrous when
VIC are in the thick of international
complications.
President McKinley's position and the
work of the peace commission have
been fully Endorsed. The delay has
been annoying, but the tension which
has been felt by all patriotic citizens is
now relieved by the positive action of
the Senate, and the country breathes
easily again. The great cause for con-
graduation and rejoicing now is that
ratification is a fact. and with the as
sured action of the Spanish cortes, the
war will be defnitively ended
