GEN. WOOD SEES MCKINLEY,
And They Talk Over the Situation at
Santiago De Cuba.

Washington, Jan. 12.-Major General
Leonard Wood, the military commander
of Santiago, arrived in Washington last
night. He breakfasted with Secretary
AIger this morning and then repaired
to the White House for a consultation
with the president respecting internal
conditions in Cuba. The war depart
ment has been delaying final action up
on the various financial problems con-
nected with the customs service at San
tiago and at other Cuban ports until
Gen. Woods arrival regarding him as
we'll qualified by his prolonged stay in
charge of affairs in Santiago province
to afford sound advice for its govern
ment.
The general himself modestly declines
to discuss these matters publically. He
expects to leave Washington, returning
to Cuba next Monday. The situation
in Santiago, he said, was thoroughly
satisfactory and no trouble was to be
apprehended there in the near future.
He took occasion to declare very earn
estly that the stories of friction between
himself and Major General Brooke, the
military commandant of the island, were
absolutely without foundation adding
that their relations were of the most
pleasant character, and as far as he
knew there had been no differences be-
tween them.

CONSPIRACY CHARGED
By Those Accused of Bribery in the
Montana Senatorial Fight.

Helena, Mont, Jan. PA grand jury
was called today in the district court to
investigate the charges of bribery made

turned over to the committee $4,000 in
bills of the size of 81, coo each, declaring
he had secured them from the repre-
sentative of w. A. Clark of Butte, candi-
date for United States senator. White
side testified his object was to get this
money from the Clark people and then
expose their methods. Mr.. Clark sec
onds the request for a grand jury and
declares he will be able to prove the
whole thing a conspiracy on the part
of his enemies. The grand jury will
meet Saturday and begin work. There
were no new developments in the mat
ter today. The excitement occasioned
by the report of the committee on
whistles speech has died out, people
taking sides according to their friend
ship for Mr.. Clark or the Anaconda
people.

SPANISH WAR PENSIONS.
General Wheeler Asks Special Bill
for Widows of the Late War

Washington, Jan. 12-General Wheel
er appeared before the house committee
on pensions and made a fervid appeal
for a special pension bill giving to the
widows and relatives of those who fell
at Santiago and other battles of the
Spanish war an amount commensurate
with the gallantry of those who lost
their lives. General Wheeler spoke of
the sacrifices and hardships through
which our forces had passed and par
ticularly recited the brilliancy of their
move up San Juan hill
He paid a high tribute to Colonel
Haskell, one of the officers who died
after returning to this country, and to
Captain Gridley of the Olympia, Ensign
BagIey, Colonel Hamilton, Major Force
Captain Dickinson and others whose
widows and relatives it is proposed to
pension at q, sum greater than that al
lowed by the general pension law. After
hearing General Wheeler the matter
was referred to special committee to
report a general plan of dealing with
the subject

Huntsville, Ala, Jan. l.
Mr.. Bryan'S suggestion that the volun-
teers be mus tered out at the earliest pos
sible moment, and a call be made for vol
army of occupation in Cuba or the Philip
pines, would meet all the requirements of
the case. 1t is plain that thousands of
the volunteers and regulars are dissatis-
fed. They believe that the government
has not kept its pledges, and if retained
in the service they will make but indif-
ferent soldiers.
The families of these men are also deep
1y concerned Their interests should be
considered too. The subject ought to
engage the early attention of congress and
the president.

WHERE THE MONEY GOES.
No Reason Why a Woman Should
Keep an Expense Account.
from the Chioa % ChrOnioIe /

lFrOm the chicago CnrOn1cle.l
Every man believes that every wo-
man should keep an expense account
and know where every cent of her mon
ey has fallen. OF course, he doesn't keep
one himself, but then he is a man and
can keep the run of things without any
prop to his memory.
When you meekly inquire why you
should wear yourself to the bone trying
to account for the last dime of a van
that it give you businesslike habits and
make you exact. It will show you where
your money is gone. But who ever
heard of a real business man who kept
an account of all his expenditures?
Some old granny may keep a notebook
where he jots down lone 20 cents" and
postage letter to Mary, 2 cents -
but the man that amounts to anything
in Chicago keeps his change loose in his
trousers pockets and is surprised when
it is all gone.
And then what is the use of know
ing where your money is gone if you are
convinced that it is gone? 1t doesn't
give you any particular peace of mind
to know that you SQuandered your last
weeks surplus on three books you
didn't read, a new ruffied skirt, and a
fan. 1t doesn't bring back your money
expenditures in cold figures on TIE
pages of a red covered notebook, of a
blue one, either. Your money is gone
and your assets are in plain sight
Neither does it restrain you from spend
ing your money this week, for it is al
ways some new thing that coaxes your
bills out of your pocket.

Atchison, Jan. 12.-There are now five
switch engines at work in the Missouri
Pacific yards in Atchison, one more

city.
The Missouri Pacific is doing great
er business now than ever before in its
history Since division headquarters
were changed from Hiawatha to Atchi-
son, a few weeks ago, twenty-five extra
engineers have been hired, and engi-
neers are still scarce. Sixteen extra
men have been hired at the shops, and
of course twenty-five extra hremen
have been hired, to work with the extra
engineers. It will thus be seen that
the change in division headquarters has
brought at least seventy more men to
Atchison than was expected.

THE BOARD OF REGENTS
Favor the Plans Of Architect Ohas. Glats
OF this City for the New State Nor
NAL School Dormitory.

At their meeting last evening the
board OF regents examined the plans
submitted for the erection OF the new
dormitory at the Normal school. Two !
plans we're submitted, one by Architect
Dow Of Sioux Falls and one by Arch,-
tect Chas. Glstz Of this place, and the
latter commended itself 80 strongly to
the judgment Of the board and others
present as 80 far Superior that there was
little hesitation in accepting it. The
general design OF the exterior OF the
building Is much the same as the main
building now on the grounds aud like it,
is to be built OF stone or granite. 1t will
be 100 feet ia length, east and west, aud
IN average width about GO feet. It will
be three stories above basement, the
latter is to be tilted for dining hall and
gymnasium. The building will accom-
modate 96 students in single beds, with
bathrooms on each floor and closets with
the bed rooms. Then there will be re-
ception and other rooms OF general use.
4 wing on the north or rear side will
contain the kitchen. Mr.. Glatz was
authorized to complete the plans, draw
ings and specifications in detail, furnish
ing estimates Of cost and departed this
morning for Milwaukee for this purpose.
The completed plans, specifications. and
estimates will be submitted to another
meeting OF the board at this place in
about ten days when the board will pass
upon them finally and il accepted and
within the limit OF cost, Mr.. Glasz will be
constituted supervising architect and
proposals Tor construction called for by
advertisement. Madison feels sol.
pride in the fact hat one OF its own
architects should be the winner in q
competition OF this Importance and our
people generally congratulate Mr.. Gla,z
over his disting uished success.
