CALLED ON M'KINLEY.
Kentucky Senators Urged the Appoint
 ment of Samuel H. Stone.

Washington, January 2s-Senators Deboe and Lindsay called on the president today to urge that he appoint Samuel H. Stone, a prominent republican of Kentucky, as com- missioner of internal revenue to succeed Senator-elect Scott of West Virginia.
 The president informed them that he had already decided upon George W. Wilson, at present deputy commissioner of internal revenue, who has been serving in that ca pacity since 1889, and who is we'll and fa- vorably known to public men throughout the country as MT. Scott's successor. MT. A. B. White, of West Virginia, at present collector of internal revenue, will be ap- pointed deputy commissioner if he desires the office.

RELATIONS STRAINED.
Dewey and Otis Said to Be at Daggers
 Point.

Barcelona, January 2S.-The Manila cor- respondent of the Diario says that he has discovered that the relations between Major General Otis and Rear Admiral Dewey are most strained, owing to the profound rival ry which exists between the land and sea forces of the United States in the islands.
 The administrative morality of the Ameri- can squadron, says the correspondent, 'is below par. The gambling hells of Manila are taxed $1,200 each. and the police are highwaymen, who make arbitrary arrests and then demand from s10 to sD for the release of their prisoners
 The correspondent of the paper declares that the Americans have monopolized all the trade and swamped the markets with their products. rendering European compe- tition impossible. As an instance of this. he alleges that California wines are sold in Manila as genuine Bordeau.

SENATOR STRICKEN
 AT MONTGOMERY Isaac Grant Has an Attack of EpiIeptic ConvuIsionS. = HIS RECOVERY IN DOUBT He Was Seated at His Desk Writing a Letter to His Son When He Sud-
 denly Fell Forward to
 the Floor.
HIS RECOVERY IN DOUBT

Montgomery, January &-(Special. )-Sen- ator Isaac Grant had an epileptic convul- sion this morning and fell from his chair to the floor of the senate in an unconscious, condition. The age of the senator and his fearful of his recovery.
 He was seated at his desk in the senate writing a letter to his son, James, when the attack came on him. In the letter he was telling his son of the serious condition of Senator Boykin, and expressing sympathy for him.
 Senator Grant fell to the floor as if dead and several senators rushed to him, among whom was Dr. Cunningham, who gave med ical attention. Every possible comfort was given the unconscious senator. An ambu- lance was ordered and he was removed to the residence of Mrs. Seay, on Madison, where he is resting easy.
 The senate. out of respect to the sick senator. adjourned until 1O:3O o'clock Mon- day, and the house until 3:30 p. m. This is the fourth time that Senator Grant has had an attack. The last before the present one was last year. The senator has frequently talked to his friends of this attack which left his memory very much impaired for several months.
 Senator Grant represents the counties of Clarke, Choctaw and Washington in the senate. He is the oldest member of either house, having passed his seventieth birth day last September. He is one of the vet eran newspaper men of the state owning and editing the Grove Hill Democrat for a number of years. In state and county poli- tics he has long been prominent, a democrat true to his party and people. His serious illness has caused gloom to be cast over the entire general assembly. His friends are hopeful of his recovery.

GENERAL PAGAN
 FOUND GUILTY Penalty Is Dismissal from the
 Military Service. RESTS WITH THE PRESIDENT As to Whether or Not Clemency is Granted, or the Defendant is Made to Suffer the Humil-
 iation of Dismissal.
RESTS WITH THE PRESIDENT

Washington, January 2S.-General Eagan, commissary general of subsistence, has been found guilty Of the charges of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman and of conduct to the prejudice of good order and discipline and of the specifications thereto and has been sentenced to dismissal from the United States army, but with a recommendation from the court for the ex- ercise of executive clemency.
 Under the regulations the court, having reached the conclusion that the accused was guilty, they had no choice fin selecting the penalty, the regulations prescribing ab- solutely the one punishment-dismissal- the offense.
 Therefore the only hope for General Ea- gan is in the direction of communication, nit igation or disapproval. Colonel Javis, the judge advocate of the court martial fin- ished his revision of the record of the court proceeding this afternoon and at once placed the papers in the hands of Secretary Alger.
 This action at once settled any doubt that may have existed as to the routine to be pursued in the treatment of the case. As for Secretary Alger, as soon as he has read the record he will at once place it with the president, who, under the law, is the final reviewing authority. It is his privilege to add to or take from the strength of the courts recommendation that clemency be shown The indications are that the pa pers will be in the presidents hands early next week.

May XII the Entire Bill

Washington, January 2S.-The ntroduc- tion of an amendment to the naval person nel bill in the senate committee on naval affairs, permitting the direct appointment in. the navy of civilians, has united all branches of the service in opposition and 1t is asserted at the navy department today that if the amendment is persisted in the whole bill will be lost. The main argument ,s that the appointment of number of oi,,iiians now would create just such a hump as resulted from the appointments made during the civil war, whlch causeu the stagnatlon from which the service s'-h is suffering,

Would Not Have Been Right

ITO ignore the platform when all states west and south indorse it, will have all the force of declaration against the platform and such a course will make 1t more diffi- cult to indorse the platform hereafter.
 We were embarrassed in the last cam- paign by the fact that the democrats of your state went to Chicago to oppose the platform which was adopted. Unless the party in New York expects to repeat this experiment in 1900 it should lose no time in taking a firm stand upon the Chicago plat form. In urging this course upon Tam many and the democracy of New York, l ought to suggest that the party in New York has something at stake as well as the party in the nation.
 "Tammany needs the democracy Of the nation as much as the national party needs Tammany and Tammany should recognize this fact. Democratic principles have too firm a hold upon the plain people to give the party in any section any promise or success by abandoning them. Democracy was defined at Chicago and the definition IS so satisfactory that no material change will be made in that definition for years to come. I hope the democrats of New York for their good as well as for the good of the party and country at large will speedily bring themselves within the definition by giving an unqualified endorsement of the Chicago platform Yours Very truly,
 "WILLIAM J. BRYAN.

POLITICS IN A TROLLEY DEAL.
Farmers in Kent County Chatting Over
Delay.

The friction between Attorney Gen
eral White and Former Secretary of
State John d. Hawkins over the sale
of the Kent county trolley franchises
in which both are interested as coun-
sci, has caused a number of farmers
living along the proposed routes to
publish the following open letter, in
which they ask:
"Did the incorporators named in
that original bill intend honestly to
build that electric railway, or did they
simply obtain this charter for specu-
lative purposes? From the manner in
which the charters have been handled,
it looks very much like the latter.
It's about time the farmers of this
State expressed their opinion of
Dover's legal lobbyists"

"BIG THURSDAY" AT BOwERS'S BEACH.
More Than 10000 We're at the Bayside Re-
sort Last Thursday afternoon.

Last Thursday was ''Big Thursday"
at Bowers Beach, and nearly every
Kent county town was deserted on ac-
count of the pleasant weather, and the
vast armies of Delawareans of all
walks in life congregating here. The
influx of visitors began last Wednes-
day night, when nearly 100 fakirs and
''shell-game" men came here from
Philadelphia and Baltimore.
The crowd of visitors had swelled to
over 10000 by 23O Thursday after
noon, when the field sports and bur
lesque and yacht racing began. Some
of the visitors had driven sixty miles
There were several private detectives
there to aid the proprietors of the place
in keeping order, and Sheriff J. B.
Wharton of Kent county, was on the
grounds all day.
The only difficulties reported up to
early Friday morning were scrimmages
between the confidence men and farm
ers, whose good money they had OBJ
tanned too quickly, and who were
chased to the woods by the infuriated
investors.
