Mr.. H0PKINs' ANrICS.

Auditor Hopkins has placed himself
in very unenvlable light by his queer
antics before the legislative investi-
CATION committee, tie has either lost
his head and is running hogwld or is
being IN advised His see.sawing be
tween 81 will'' and 81 wont is gain
ing no friends for himself or the ad-
ministration and confidence in the
auditors morality ard integrity is fast
oozing out.
II the auditor is afraid TO have the
calcium light thrown on his records he
should construct bluff and stand by
IL; II, on the other hand, he has no.
thing TO fear, he should fash his
records before the inluisitors and close
the incident as speedily as po sible.
To a man up tree IL appears as
though the auditor IS endeavoring TO
obey the dictates Of his own Sabbath
school conscience AID the advice OF
the administration advisors at one
and the same time So long as
he follows advice" his blum
works, but when he begins TO think
himself, the investigating committee
is notiaed that 81 will be up in a
moment with the books "
AS matter of fact the auditors Of
fee is rotten. II cannot stand an iu-
vestigation. The books are gummed
up. They show nothing. In the
matter Of the ex-robber adjutant gem
eral, there are no vouchers in the
auditors office to show for the money
paid 70 Rosen baum.
There are no records Of money
swiped from one fund and charged TO
already exhausted funds.
The auditor is in a bad way, and he
fully realizes the fact. Before the
assembly convened Mr. Hopkins was
arrogant and d0mineering lie courted
an investigation, and swore by the
nine gods OF high Olympus that he
could stand amy kind Of an investiea.
tlon served up" The auditor now has
scintillating opportunity TO either
win out on a prodigious bluh or be
impeached aud prosecuted for malfeas-
anee ia office.

DEPEW ON THE NEXT CAMPAIGN.
FavOrs Hanna for Chairman Party
VIII Declare for Expnnston.

Cleveland, O., May 3--In an interview
here to-day Hon. Chauncey M. Depew
stated that he favored the continuance
of Senator M. A. Hanna as chairman Of
the republican national committee. He
said: Tn the election of 1896 Mr.. Hanna
showed a skill in conducting the affairs
of the republican party that has never
been surpassed in the history of the
party. 1t is the policy of the republican
party never to get rid of good leader
until it has found better one
Speaking of the campaign of 1900, Sen
ator Depew said the republican party
practically would have no opposition.
Bryan has read the New York demo-
Gratis out of the party and they will not
again get together" he said. What
will be the republican issue in 1902"
was asked. 1.-THE platform will reassert
everything the party has ever said and
the party will declare in favor of ex-
pansion.' "How about trusts?' "Un-
doubtedly the republican party will
adopt similar plank. The republicans
will reaffirm their declaration for the
gold standard, and there is no doubt the
democrats will again take up silver"

Washington, May 3.-General Otis
made no mention in his report to the
war department to-day of the progress
of the negetiatio with the insurgents
for the cessation of hostilites, but that
fact did not abate the confidence of Of
ficials in the ultimate state of pending
attempts to arrive at an understanding.
There Is a belief at the war department
that the Filipino leaders are thoroughly
discouraged and it is suspected that the
next step in the peace negotiations will
be Wholesale effort on the part of the
individual F'ilipnos in the insurgent ar
my to make terms for themselves. Mean
while there may be some small engage
ments near the outposts. but no gen.
eral battle is expected. The reported
junction effected between the forces Of
General L.awton and Hale's forces give
great satisfaction to the officials here.
They have been apprehensive of the
length of the line of communication be-
tween Lawton and Manila, but with a
short route open now to MaloIos on the
railroad, there is no longer any reason
to fear that his supplies can be cut off.

ing of the lifeless body of woman in
the waters of West river at the city
7th of March Miss Clara Pokrop, aged
forty years, who Was then employed as
a domestic in the family of Henry
and Munson street, left there for a
Strack at the corner of Shelton avenue
and Munson street, left there for a
visit with her cousin, Mrs Mary Kap-
itzky of sol Chapel street. She made
her visit and left the house about nine
O'Clock with the intention Of returning
to her place of employment. Since that
time she had not been seen by any of
her relatives and friends The matter
of her disappearance was at that time
reported to the police, but no trace of
her could be found.
The body, which has been Identified
as that of the missing woman, was dis
covered by Benjamin Williams, who is
employed as a watchman at the old coal
yrad near the bridge. He was on his
way to work at $50 O'Clock and saw the
body floating in the water near the
spiles of the bridge. He called another
man and the two succeeded in fishing
the body out of the water with clam
rake They placed the body in a near
by shed and notified Medical Examiner
White and the Howard avenue police.
Sergeant McGann and Patrolman Col
well went to the scene and DR.. White
arrived shortly after. A short eXami-
nation was made, but no marks of vlo-
lence were found on the body except

Mrs. Kapitzky, when she left there, she
became suddenly deranged and instead
