HISTORY REPEATING ITSELF.

A contemporary publishes the follow
ing extract from Gen. Grants Personal
Memoirs" with the explanation that
there were many points of resem-
blance between the Spanish war and
the war with Mexico, which ended half
a century earlier.
This is strikingly true. Especially is
the administration effort to destroy
Gen. Miles but history over again. The
question now is, How far will history
repeat itself? Read what Gen. Grant
said:
The Mexican war was a political war.
and the Administration conducting it de-
sired to make political capital out of it.
General Scott was at the head Of the
army, and, being soldier Of acknowledge
ed professional capacity. his claim to the

from the food, the former from land
slides above and below this point, and
the latter from numerous washouts,
traffic on the Little Kanawha being sus-
pended The r. S. & G. railroad and
Ripley & Mill Greek Valley road are
also tied up from the effects of the
tremendous downpour of rain and rush
of waters 1t is showing tonight, and
the weather is much colder, which, it
is thought, will check the rise to some
extent.

IT'S ALMOST UP TO MIR. MCKINLEY.

There is no question, whatever, that
the Court of Inquiry will render a YER
diet substantiating all of Gen. Miless
'embalmed' beef charges and thus
completely exonerate that honorable,
brave and conscientious officer, who
was really on trial. Although the adj
ministration did not have the courage
to openly order him to trial, if he had
failed to prove his charges to the last
point, it is safe to say Gen. Miles would
have been dismissed sunmarily from
the army. He would have been given
no six years vocation with full pay
such as the Second Term Syndicates
would have been kicked out without
consideration, so bitter against him is
the administration, whose political
schemes he has thwarted.
What is wanted now is for the Court
to definitely fix the responsibility for
the long series of infamous outrages
perpetrated upon the defenders of the
nation throughout the Cuban, Santiago
and Porto Rican campaigns.
Personal responsibility is demanded
by the American people. Let the gull
ty person be made to come forth from
the mass of war department red tape
that has hitherto concealed him and
stand before the people.
Then it will be up to the President
to mete out a dose of justice that will
fit the crime.

w. F. Robinson, Jr., assistant quarter
master, has purchased $4,000 pounds
of galvanized corrugated iron roofing,

A PECKSNIFFIAN Plea.

When the Fourteenth street organ
accuses the Register of 'garbling" it
, and Eisrepresenting its attitude with
regard to the trusts, it becomes anus
! ing.
There is no possibility of misrepre-
senting the organs attitude on this
point. Its position is exactly the posi-
tion OF the national administration
whose subservient organ it is.
Of course, no one will say that the
1ntelligencer does not occasionally take
a mild stand against the trust principle
when compelled to express itself on
that point Nearly all the political
trust organs-of which the Intelligent
Ger is a fair sample--make more or less
OF show of opposing tie trust idea,
just as Republican national conven-
tons quadrennially do, although the
leaders of said conventions are owned
by the trusts. This little grand stand
play has to be made to gain the conf
dence of the people, 1t means moth
ing, however, as the leaders amply
demonstrate when they attain power.
The Fourteenth street organs claim
that it has been misrepresented or gar,
bled is as absurd as it is untruthful.
Its sentiments regarding trusts are ex-
actly those OF the administration,
whose Attorney General has just issued
manifesto to the effect that the
trusts are immune from the law and
that Congress cannot interfere with
them because the Constitution-for-
sooth!-will not permit it to pass laws

i,nrthblmae Kost win he Taken Back
TO Austrlh For Trial.
Chicago. June 15.AIn the arrest OF
Bartholmae Kost, a young cabinet
maker of Vienna, Austria, the Chicago
poliee believe they have cleared up the
mystery surrounding the death OF
Marie Veodicka, of Vienna. crime
which created n sensation In Austria,
and for the perpetrator of which the
polioe of two continents have been
searching for some time. Kost was
found here living with his bride OF
few months. The latter was Marie
Schlrma. a cook in Vienna. She is
young and attractive, and because OF
his love for her Kost Is said to have
robbed and murdered Miss Veodlcka.
According to the Austrian police Miss
Veodicka met KCst In New York in
1893. In May, 1897, she returned to
Vienna, followed shortly after by kost.
IL was announced that they were to be
married. and on March IA, 1898, Kost
started for New York with Miss Veo-
dica, saying they would be married
there. This was objected to by the
girls parents, who had given her 500
forms and Kost agreed to marry Miss
Veodica in Berlin. Two days later a
postal card signed Marie and Bar
tholmae was received from Berlin. This
card which was the last word ever re-
ceived from Miss Veodica, the police
believe Kost wrote in order to disarm
suspicion Nearly two months later,
while seining In the river Elbe, a
fisherman brought to the surface the
body of Miss Veodlca Marks of foul
play we're apparent
The police at once suspected Kost OF
the murder 1t was learned that hehad
disposed of some of Miss Veodicas s
wearing apparel in Vienna. Later II
was also learned that Kost had mar
ried Marie Schirma on April 19, and
with her had gone to America. They
were finally traced to Chicago. Kost
spends most of his time in crying, and
is in a state of almost complete melta
collapse. He will be taken back tC
Vienna for trial.

New York, June 14.-During a dense
fog last evening the Old Dominion
steamship Hamilton, which sailed from
New York yesterday for Norfolk and
Newport News, ran into the German
steamship Macedonia off Long Branch,
and II is supposed that the Macedonia
subsequently sunk Three passengers
and nineteen of the crow of the Mace
donia were saved and brought to this
port.
The Hamilton had on board a large
number of passengers, many of whom
were delegates to a railroad conven-
tion at Old Point Comfort. While
proceeding at reduced speed and
sounding her whistle the Hamilton
suddenly ran into the Macedonia,
striking her on the starboard side
abaft the engine, and cutting into her
hull about 12 feet. The shock was ter
rife and indescribable confusion pre-
vailed for a time. Order was finally
restored on the Hamilton, and the crew
were sent to their quarters The Mace
donia's crew got out their boats as
the disabled vessel drifted away from
the Hamilton.
One of the Macedonla's boats was

Ton Dead and Twenty-Five Injured In
the Little Town.
Herman, Neb., June 15.-Ten per-
sons dead, 25 injured, of whom will
die, and half of the remainder suffer-
ing from very serious wounds, sums up
the list of casualties resulting from the
tornado that wrecked this place on
Tuesday night. The loss of property
aggregates $3.50, 900. which means some
thing appalling for the inhabitants of
the little village, of which now scarce
ly anything remains. One hundred
buildings have been completely de-
stroyed. Only six structures remain
intact, four residences, the school
house and one church.
The population is in a pitiable condi-
ton. Those who lost their homes, and
there are about 500 of them, are abso-
lutely without resources and must de-
pend on public charity for sustenance
and chance to begin life over again.
The work of relief has already begun
in a substantial manner. About hun
dred of the unfortunates are housed
at Blair. The latter town yesterday
raised 5000 as a relief and the Washing
ton county authorities appropriated
$500 for the same purpose. Two dozen
tents were sent out from Blair, and are
occupied by the homeless.

in Forming a Cabinet.
Paris, June 15.-At the conference
yesterday between President Loubet
and NJ. Poincare the latter repeated his
disinclination to serve as premier, but
in response to the arguments of the
president, who appealed to his patriot
ism, M. Poincare agreed to attempt the
formation of a cabinet. He is continu-
ing his efforts In that direction, but
meets with numerous difficulties.
NJ. Poincare has been especially de-
sirous Of having NJ. Bourgeois, Krantz
and Delcasse in the ministry. M Bour-
geois declines TO abandon hts mission
at The Hague. M. Delcasse declines to
take anything but the foreign office
portfolio, while NJ. Poinoare wants
him at the ministry of the interior or
the ministry of marine, and NJ. Krantz
raises difficulties concerning the Drey-
fus trial.
II Is understood that several other
prominent men have refused to enter
the cabinet. These rebuffs are likely
to discourage M. Poincare, who IS
modest and dimdent, and is inclined to
steer clear Of political troubles.
