Visits the President Upon the Lat
ter's Invitation-Will Spend the
Night at the White House.

WASHINGTON, July S.-Governor
Roosevelt, of New York, arrived here
at 4:10 this afternoon over the Penn
sylvania road. As he came upon the
invitation of President Mckinley, he
was driven directly to the White
House, where he had brief conference
with the President. Subsequently he
took a short drive with Secretary Cor
telyou, returning to the Executive
Mansion at $50. By further invitation
of the President, Governor Roosevelt
will dine at the White House and re-
main there all night His brief con-
ference with the President related to
army matters generally. He will
leave on an early morning train to-
morrow for New York.
NEW YORK, July 8.-Governor
Roosevelt passed through the city this
morning on his way to Washington.
He arrived here from Oyster Bay at
1920 o'clock, passed little time at
Republican State headquarters and
then went to Jersey City, where he
boarded an express train for the
Capitol.
The Governor would not tell why he
was going to Washington, except that
he had been asked to do so by Pre-
sident Mckinley

To Burn Woman to Death-Husband
Ignited Her Clothes With Lighted
Paper.
CORNING, N. Y, July S.-The de-
tails of fiendish attempt at murder
reached here from Blossburg, Pa, to-
night. About noon to-day, according
to the story of the victim, Mrs. Isaac
Borreli, her husband, who conducts a
baker shop at that place, deliberately
set fire to her clothing with lighted pa
per and then held her hands while he
watched the flames enveloping her.
The shrieks of the suffering woman
attracted the neighbors and she was
taken away from the man and the
flames extinguished. Her body was
badly burned and her recovery seems
improbable. Her husband was arrest
ed and lodged in Jail at Wellsboro. The
couple were each about 60 years old,
and have a large family. The hus-
bands attentions to another woman
caused no end of bitterness in the fam
lily for few years back.

TOLEDO, O., July ga decidedly
romantic tale comes from near the
quaint old Michigan town of Monroe,
few miles from Toledo.
Years ago David Remand and his
young wife quarrelled and determined
to separate. Their religious convic-
tons precluded the idea of divorce,
but one took the daughter, while the
other, the father, took the five-year-old
son.
The mother went to live in Quebec
for time, while Renaud drifted about
making a living as best he could for
the boy, until one day he fell from a
scaffold in a Michigan town and died a
short time afterward.
The boy was then about seven years
old. The mother had shut her husband
and son out of her mind altogether, and
as none of the husbands friends knew
where she was, she was not informed
of his death. The boy meantime had
been taken by a family named Whit
sail, who brought him UP as their own
son. The boy had been taught by his
father that his mother and sister had
died, and SO he grew up to believe he
was alone in the world so far as rela-
tives go.
Inc girl grew up and few days ago.
in spirit of fun, advertised in mat
rimonial paper published in this city. A
copy fell into young Renand'S hands.
He was the guest of a friend one even
ing, and they were looking over the
advertisements in the paper when, in
a spirit of jest, Renand's friend propos-
ed that each select couple OF descrip-
tions and write for the. names.
They did so.
Remand wrote to Miss Honore Rem
and in little town called Tilsonburg
Ont, and in due time received al
answer which attracted him very
much.
The girls curiosity had been arous-
ed and she finally cautiously ap-
preached her mother upon the subject
The mother betrayed such an unusual
interest that the girls suspicious were
aroused and the parent at last broke
down and told her daughter that she
was satisfied the young man with whom
she had struck up a schoolgirl cor
respondence was none other than hel
own brother.
The girl coaxed the whole story ou
of her mother, and with it permission
to tell her mother and ask him &c
come on and see them at once.
Last night Delos Remand received g
letter from his sister and took a late
train for Detroit, and is doubtless by
this time with his mother and sister
among the Canadian hills about Til
sOnburg.

KILLED HIMSELF.
Samuel S. Pague, Formerly a Lieutenant
u. $. a., Took Poison.

CHICAGO, July Samuel S. Pague,
who, while lieutenant of company F,
Fifteenth infantry, fired three times at
Col Crofton, and who was dismissed
from the army by the Presidents ap-
proval of the finding of a court-martial,
last night committed suicide at the
New Era Hotel by taking poison. The
body was found to-day by the hotel
clerk, bolt upright in chair, in the
lieutenants room. An empty choral
bottle was found on a table nearby,
but no letters were left, the body being
identified by papers found in the
clothes. The shooting and subsequent
trial attracted widespread interest.
Pague was jealous Of Col. Crofton, al
leging that the latter's attentions to
Mrs. Pague were too pronounced. Oc-
tober 3, 1895, Pague, heated with wine,
attempted to kill the colonel. Two bull
let's went through the latter's overcoat,
the third striking the ground. Mrs.
Pague rushed to her husband and seiz-
ed his arm. He was then arrested.
On the dead mans person were found
a number of papers, one recommend
ing him for the position of paymaster
general of the army.

NATIONAL BANK CLOSED.

WASHINGTON. July S.-The doors
of the Citizens National Bank of Niles,
Mich. were closed to-day by National
Bank Examiner Joseph w. Selden, who
was appointed temporary receiver of
the bank by the Comptroller of the
Currency. The cause of the failure of
the bank is poor loans which have
been made, to meet which the Comp
troller levied an assessment upon the
capital stock of the bank. The stock
holders failed to meet this assessment
and the receiver was appointed in
consequence. The last statement of the
Citizens National Bank showed loans
and discounts amounting to s169,509
Surplus, $4,000; capital, $4,000.

UNSUCCESSFUL TEST .
Six Inch Shot Went Clear Through the
Armor Plate.

WASHINGTON, July S.-An unsuc-
cessful test was made at Indian Head
proving grounds to-day of 5l2-ineh
armor plate representing 700 tons OF
casemate armor of the battleship Ala
bama. A six-inch projectile fired
against the plate went clean through
it. This is the first failure of a plate
in three years, the last failure being
in armor for the Kearsarge. Another
plate will now be chosen for the test.
The condition of to-day's test with a

WASHINGTON, July S.-Governor
Theodore Roosevelt, of New York, Is
tonight the guest of the President at
the White House. He arrived here at
4:10 p m. to-day, in response to a tee
graphic request from President Nc
Kinley, delivered to him at Oyster Bay,
asking him to come to Washington for
a consultation. To this summons he
responded promptly, being met at the
Pennsylvania station upon his arrival
by the Presidents private secretary,
Mr.. Cortelyou.
Governor Roosevelt was driven d.
rectly to the White House, where he
was received by the President. There
was short conference between them
before dinner. Afterwards, together
with Secretary Long, they sat upon the
west veranda of the Executive Mansion
for a longer consultation.
The secretary remained until about
8 O clock, leaving the President and his
guest to continue the conversation.
There were various rumOrs atioat as
to the purpose OF the Governors visit,
but Secretary Long declared that the
President mad asked him concerning
the organization of the new volunteer
forces for the Philippines. Governor
Roosevelt declined absolutely to dis
cuss any of the rumors concerning the
purpose CT his visit.
Among the reports were those to the
effect that the President had called him
to Washington to tender him the office
of Secretary of War, TO ask him to
take command of brigade in the Phil
ippines and to ask him to designate an
entire regiment to be sent to the archi-
pelago.
He was asked in so many words
whether the President had rendered
him the secretaryship. He replied to
this question with laugh and declin-
ed positively to discuss it, The Gov
errors best friends in Washington say
that. regardless Of the facts as to the
p residents tender or failure TO make
one, the Governor would much prefer
his pT--ent position as Chief Executive
of the Empire state to d fractional
term III the w at department., anu Ills
treatment of the question tonight,
renders this theory as 10 his attitude
r Nlau7ible.
During the evening Secretary Hay
Attorney General Griggs and Adju-
tant General Corbin joined the party at
the White House. They remained
with the President and Governor
Roosevelt until II o'clock. After they
went away the President and his guest
continued the talk until a few minutes
before midnight.
1t was stated that they had gone over
the situation in the Philippines in all
it's aspects, not only taking up the
question from a military point of view.
but also considering its diplomatic and
legal bearings. The President evinced
a determination to adhere to his plan
of sending only experienced and capa-
Bile officers TO the Pacific islands with
out regard to political influence or per
sonal favor He also made it plain to
those present that he meant to give
the subject his own personal atten-
ton until the end should be reached
1t came out that many kilograms and
letters of recommendation had been
received in regard to his evident de-
termination in this matter.

BOSTON, Mass, July S.-The biggest
war sensation yet is the repetition of
the Dreyfus bordereaux in the United
States War Department.
George Frederick Bell, of Montreal,
in an affidavit declares that on May
20, 1898, he stole the famous CarranZa
letter from the house at No. AZ Toup-
per street, occupied by Ramon Carran-
"a and Senior Du Bose, ex-attaches of
the Spanish legation at Washington.
Bells statement, which is sworn to,
being attested by N. O. Rockwell, JUS
tice of the peace, further declares that
he carried this letter at once to Chief
Wilkie, of the United States secret ser
vice at Washington, under whose or
ders he was working. Wilkie sum
moned from New York member OF
the Cuban Junta, Gonzalo Quesada,
and an Italian named Cavann.
Then follows the astounding state
ment in this sworn deposition that
Quesada and Wilkie together extracted
from the original letter certain SEN
fences and words, which changed the
tenor of the stolen letter. Having
thus prepared the letter, Bell swears,
Cavanna, using Spanish stationery,
supplied by Wilkie, forged docu-
ment which the head of the secret ser
vice passed along to the State Depart
ment as the very letter stolen in Mon
treal.
The differences in the letters are
many and striking, but the most i'm
portant change made is where the Will
kie version declares in so many words
that Carranza is at the head Of Span
ish spy system in Montreal, while the
letter supplied. by Bell states that tie
writer is credited by the Americans
with conducting spy system in
Montreal without any admission what
ever as to the fact.
Bell goes on to say that he stole the
letter and returned to Washington,
handing it to Wilkie. He returned to
Montreal June 6, 1898, and did more
work about the Spanish consulate
there.
In August, Bell was taken i'll, and
for three months lay in the hospital
Meanwhile he wrote to Wilkie, asking
payment for services. Wilkie, accord
ing to Bell, had told him the letter
would be worth $1,000 and expenses
when he placed the stolen document in
the officers hands at Washington.
Wilkie, however, in response to Bells
demands, referred him to Joseph Kel-
lert, chief of the metropolitan bureau
of Montreal. Kellert denied to Bell
that he had received any money
wherewith to make a settlement, from
Washington, and referred Bell back to
Wilkie. Having threatened to expose
the matter, Bell swears that there came
to him in an official envelope from
Washington $50 without any written
communication.
