litical machine Military posts have
been bestowed upon political friends
without regard to fitness, or the in
terests of the country. Dishonesty and
corruption have been rampant wherever
there was public money to be handled.
American soldiers were killed by thou
sands on American soil by such agencies
as embalmed beef and scandalOus
neglect of elementary sanitation. AS
the head is, so We expect SubordinateS
to be- They were chosen without re-
gard to fitness but with every regard
to political service. Naturally they act
as the politicians they are rather. than
as soldiers and administrators, which
they are not. The new imperial policy
of the United States is thus discredited

than common cOrruptness Mckinley

PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Chicago, July 1S-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Important cablegrams have been re-
ceived al the state department from the
Philippine commission and at the war
department from General Otis concern
ing new move in the direction of
peace. They have been in the hands of
the president for several days but he
has declined to make them public be-
cause the ultra optimistic views here
tofore received from the same source
have not been borne out by subsequent
events.
The latest dispatches, however. are
more encouraging than the previous
ones, but the president wishes to have
some positive results before making
them public
All that can be learned definitely
about them is that direct overtures for
peace have been made to General Otis
by AguinaldO and some of his principal
leaders.
It was said by a cabinet official that
if the promises are fulfilled the vOlun-
teers now being enlisted will not be
needed

Mrs. Potter Palmer Is Making
Preparations
To Entertain the King of Bel
gium at Newport.
SHE HAS HIS PROMISE.
The Event Will Place Her In
the Lead
Of American Society by Several
Lengths.

Washington, July 18.-Although semi
officially denied that Leopold of Belgium
intended to visit Newport during
the present season, those who profess
to know confidently assert that that
popular watering place will be honored
by the presence of a continental SOW
ereign during the early part OF Sep
tember.
The Belgium king promised Mrs.
Potter Palmer last winter that he
would become her guest at the time
designated. She has received no intima-
ton that his majesty has changed his
mind, so she is proceeding with her
preparations to entertain so august q
guest Newport has certainly received
an impetus in consequence of this
rumOr. Should Leopold who is some
what famous among his brother SOW
eretgnS for promising more goods than
he can deliver, fail to appear, the hand
some young prince, Cantacuzene, the
fiance of Miss Julia Grant, win prove
an attraction. Mrs Potter Palmer is
one of the most interesting figures in
social life, and if she really brings the
Belgian monarch to time her leadership
Of American society will be unchal-
lenged
The Belgian minister and the Count
ess Lichtervelde are now in Brussels on
an extended leave of absence. The lega-
ton is in charge of Baron Raymond
Northomb, who beyond stating that his
majesty thinks highly of America and
has often expressed a desire to visit
here, does not commit himself in re-,
gard to this interesting report Official,
and diplomatic society will therefore
remain on the tiptoe of expectation un-
til Mrs. Potter Palmer sees fit to take
1t more extensively into her confidence.

MURDERED HIS RIVAL
And Threw the Body Into the
River.

Chester, Conn, July 1S.-Harry Chad
wick, aged "a years, of New Britain,
was murdered last night by Joseph
Hough, aged 80, who then attempted to
kill himself by cutting his throat. Chad
wicks body has not been found and
the details of the tragedy are not fully
known. Chadwick came here Saturday
night to visit Miss Mary Smith, to
whom he ne was paying attention.
Hough boarded with the Smith family
and was also enamored of the young
woman.
Chadwick left the Smith house about
10 o'clock last night and this was the
last seen of him. This morning a lad
der was found leaning against the win
dow of the room occupied by HOugh.
There were spots of blood on the ladder
and when the mans room was entered
he was found lying on the bed in a pool
of blood. He had a cut five inches long
in his neck. His bicycle was also found
to be covered with blood and investiga-
In TylerViIle searchers found the BIZ
cycle owned by Chadwick and his

pools of blood and evidences of a strug-
been dragged through a potato field
nearby and the trail was followed to
the river where it was found a row boat
had been taken. Later it was stated
Smith, brother of the girl that he kill
ed Chadwick and threw his body into
the river. He is said to have stated
that he sought to scare Chadwick and
that alteration resulted, during
which Chadwick drew a razor and cut
him on the side of the face. He then
choked Chadwick until. as he supposed
he was unconscious but later found he
was dead He then dragged the young
mans body to the river where he threw
it in Riding home he took his own
razor from a drawer. intending to COM
nit suicide, when he felt himself grow
ing faint and called for help. When the
family entered his room a razor was
found in his hand. He is in a critical
condition.
1t is believed that Hough left the
house by means of the ladder before
Chadwick and waited for him at the
top of a hill up which Chadwick would
be obliged to walk. 1t is believed that
an alterca ton took place during which
the young man was killed and his body
was then dragged to the river, where
from a row boat it was thrown over
board. The river is now being dragged
for the body. Hough confessed later.
