CHAPTER v.

THE LAST OF THE BLIND MAN.
My curiosity, in a sense, was strong
err than my fear; for could not remain
where l was, but crept back to the
bank again, whence, sheltering my
head behind bush of broom, l might
command the road before the door.
L was scarcely in position ere my en-
emies began to arrive, seven or eight
of them, running hard, their feet beating
out of time along the road, and the
man with the lantern some PAGES in
front. Three men ran together, hand
in hand, and 1 made out, even through
the mist, that the middle man of this
trio was the blind beggar. The next
moment his voice showed me that /
was right.
"Down with the door," he cried.
"Ay, ay, sir" answered two or three;
and rush was made upon the Adj
miral Benbow, the lantern bearer fol-
lowing; and then could see them
pause, ard hear speeches passed in n
lower key, as if they were surprised to
find the door open. But the pause was
brief, and the blind man again issued
his commands. His voice sounded
louder and higher, as if he were afire
with eagerness and rage.
''In, in, I'M" he shouted. and cursed
them for their delay.
Four or five of them obeyed at once,
two remaining on the road with the
formidable beggar. There was pause,
then cry of surprise, and then voice
shouting from the house:
"Bill's dead"
But the blind man swore at them
again for their delay.

CABINET MEETING.
Many Names Suggested to Head the
War Department.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-There was
nothing to indicate at the Cabinet
meeting to-day that a change was i'm
minent in the Presidents official fam
lily. Secretary Alger was present and
brought with him considerable
amount of business from the War De-
partment, which was thoroughly dis
cussed. 1t related to matters of ad-
ministration in Cuba and some ar
rangements being made for the organi-
zation of troops intended for the Phil
ippines. The proceedings were thor
oughly routine in character.
The question of General Alger's sue
cessor was not mentioned to-day until
after he had left the conference cham
ber. Then for half an hour those who
remained behind with the President
discussed informally the names of
those who had been under considera-
ton for the vacancy. These included
Elihu. Root, ambassador Porter, Gov
ernor Roosevelt, General James H. Will
son, General Leonard Wood. General
Harrison Gray Otis and General Fran
els V. Greene After canvassing the
names with singular unanimity. all
the members of the Cabinet agreed
with the President that the man pre-
eminently fitted for this responsible po-
sition was Mr.. Root, and there is no
doubt that the President has made up
his mind to tender him the portfolio,
but that no formal tender had been
made up to the time the Cabinet ad-
journed at 1:3O p. m. can be positively
asserted.

NEW YORK, July 21.-Roland S.
Molineaux, who was indicted yester-
day for the second time for the mur-
der of Mrs. Kate J. Adams, was taken
to the Court of General Sessions to-
day to be arraigned for pleading be-
fore Judge Blanchard Before the
pleading could be made. Mr.. Weeks, of
counsel for the defendant, asked for
permission to inspect the minutes of
the Grand Jury.
District Attorney Gardiner objected
to the granting of the application. He
said that the defendant was not en-
titled to an inspection of the minutes
as he could have had hearing before
a Magistrate and had refused.
Mr.. Weeks replied that his client did
not accept examinationbefore the Mag
istrate because Justice Fursman stat
ed that the case would have to go to
the Grand Jury, no matter what dispo-
sition was made of it by the Magis-
trate.
He continued: 1--WE ask for an in
spection of the minutes. because. in
formation has come to us that the evil
dence which was presented to the

application should be made

hall to Saugus. There was a freight
train standing there and he went to the
caboose to have talk with the train
crew. He was standing on the steps
of the caboose when the train suddenly
moved. Dunlop lost his balance and
fell to the ground in such a manner
that the wheels of the caboose passed
over his neck and nearly decapitated
him.
Coroner Holland and Deputy Strubet
held an inquest upon the body at Sau-
gus, the verdict being that Dunlop's
death was accidental
At noon to-day a railroad man named
Michael Connor. who resides in this
city, called at the police station and
told a peculiar story regarding the
death of Dunlop. Connor says that the
dead man was in reality Charles
Ryan, formerly employed on the Rock
Island route. The real Robert ]. Dun
lop is now in the Philippines, MEM
ber of Company D, Fourteenth Regi-
ment, United States Volunteers, under
Captain Hart. Ever since he went
away from Denver in a soldiers uni
form Ryan has used his name and cre-
dentials. A curious state of affairs now
exists. Robert J. Dunlop is declared
by Coroner's jury to be legally dead,
and is in fact alive, or was when last
heard from. Ryan was one of the stri-
kers who staid out in the great strike Of
'94 and was blacklisted. He went all
over the country trying to get work, but
failed. When his friend, Robert j.
Dunlop, also a railroad man, enlisted
for the war, Ryan assumed his name,
and took his card as a member Of the
union in order to get work.

WAR PORTFOLIO.
Has Not Yet Been rendered to
Anyone.

WASHINGTON, July 21-Up to
noon to-day the best information OBJ
tainable at the White House was to
the effect that the President had not
up to that time formally rendered the
War portfolio to any one. That New
York is to have the vacancy in the
Cabinet caused by the resignation of
Secretary Alger, however, there ap-
peared to be little doubt, and there
was general impression up to the
time the Cabinet met that Mr.. Nc
Kinley had practically made up his
mind to offer the War office to Elihu
Root, the distinguished New York law
yer, But it is said that the New York
organization, headed by Governor
Roosevelt and Senator Platt, had urged
the selection of General Francis ".
Greene 1t is reported from New
York that General Greene had been
summoned to Washington by the Pres
ident, but this was denied emphatically,
and up to noon he had not appeared
at the White House. The report that
the place had been offered to Embas-
sador Porter was also denied.

JOHN HANCOCK.
Nevada Authorities Endeavoring to
Secure Him a Pardon.


Secure Him a Pardon.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 21.--The Ne
vada authorities are endeavoring to in
duce Governor Gage to pardon John
Hancock, who is serving ten-years'
sentence for burglary.
Hancock is accused of numbering two
men in Nevada two years ago, and 1t
is believed that enough evidence has
been secured to convict him of murder.
A Mrs. Meyers, now Mrs. Goss, who
lived with Hancock, testified before
Grand Jury that two years ago Han
cock and she started from Orange
County, California, to go East by
wagon. While crossing the Nevada
desert they met two men named Ed
mundson and Engleke, who had bet
ter outfit. Hancock murdered these
men and took their team and wagon,
burning his own outfit. He went as far
as Ogden, where he sold the horses and
returned to Orange County. The Sheriff
of Phoebe County, New, investigated
Mrs. Meyers story, and found the re-
mains of two men who had evidently
been murdered. Mrs. Meyers did not
tell her story until after Hancock had
been sentenced for burglary.

ADMIRAL, DEWEY.
Arrangements for sword Presenta-
tion Acceptable to Him.

WASHINGTON, July. 21.-The fol-
lowing cablegram was received at the
Navy Department from Admiral
Dewey:
Trieste, July 21.-Secretary of Navy,
received and presentation at Washing
ton approved by President and Secre-
tary are entirely agreeable to me-"
Nothing is known at the Navy De-
partment of any intention on the part
of Admiral Dewey to change the plans
he had already arranged as to his
movements in Europe and the date Of
his arrival in America. Secretary Long
still expects that that date will be some
time in October, but the report that
the Admiral contemplates leaving the
Olympia and returning to the United
States on a mail steamship is discredit-
ed at the Navy Department.
Some of the members of the diplo-
matte body have unofficially attracted
the attention of some of the officers of
the Navy Department to the peculiar
position they are placed in by the
action of the New York Reception
Committee. That committee, they as
sert, had addressed notes to all for,
eign Governments inviting them to
send one or more naval vessels to par
ticipate in the reception of Admiral
Dewey upon his arrival at New York.
According to the strict rules of inter
national intercourse, it is said, the for
eign Governments cannot properly take
cognizance of any invitation addressed
directly to them by municipality or
as in this case, purely local commit
tee. AS some of the Governments in
vited would like to accept the invita-
tien, they are somewhat embarrassed
under these conditions, and it is be-
lieved will be obliged to await some
action by the Department of State in
this matter.

Five-Cent Fares at Detroit.

! DETROIT (Mich.), July 21.-Straight
five-cent fares were inaugurated on the
old street railway lines, except during
the morning and evening hours, in
which workingmen's tickets are sold
eight for a quarter. Mayor Maybury,
who is highly indignant at the raising
of fares, has called a special meeting
of the City Council for tomorrow to
retaliate by prohibiting carriage of
freight over the company's lines; by
pushing a test of the legality of COM
binations of the companies when pro-
hibited by their ordinances, and in
other ways to restrict the company
privileges.
