THE ALGER JUNkErING SCANDAL.

Mr.. Mckinley is permitting one of
| the worst scandals of all to develop
right under his nose and without any
effort to put a stop to it. We refer to
Ayers proposed 100000 junket to Gu
| ba and Porto Rico, for which there is
not the least excuse on earth other than
the Algerian desire for a fine Spring
| trip at government expense.
Army officers in Washington and in
| Cuba state positively that there is not
the slightest use in such a trip since
there are in Cuba and Porto Rico ca
pable officers of high rank whose bus
subject that the Secretary claims he
desires to know about.
There are on file in the War Depart
ment reports covering every one of the
questions which the Secretary says he
wants to investigate, and while the
Secretary will confine his inspection"
to a flying trip, the officers who have
made the reports have made a careful
study of the matters upon which they
are made.
Besides the various functions which
the Secretary will be requested to at
| tend and the attentions which will be
showered upon him will preclude any
| Investigations of an important char
acter.
In fact, the affair is to be simply an
outing for the Secretary and a few of
his boon companions and their wives
and is not really intended to accom-
plish anything for the department, the
| bald pretense to the contrary simply
being made in order that the tremen-
| dous expense of the junket may be
shouldered onto the taxpayers.
| There is only one point that worries
Alger. He is a little in doubt where
| the money is to come from. The big
steamer Berlin is to be magnificently
reftted and completely overhauled for
the trip and the whole will cost the
people not less than 100000 and posi-
bly, more According to a dispatch it
would not be surprising if the auditor
for t. War Department, when he re-
ceives bills for the Berlin trip, should
refer them to the Controller of the
| Treasury to determine the fund from
which they can properly be paid. 1t is
pointed out that they cannot be paid
out of the national defense fund.-" and
the appropriation of 100000 placed
at the disposal of the President is
needed to pay the Cuban soldiers.
What will probably be done will be
to charge the expenses to the several
departments of the army, and by this
means distribute the expense so that it
will pass the accounting officers. Thus
it is proposed to make the appropria-
| ton for the working departments of the
army suffer to pay for the Algerian out
| ing.
| This junkett will be nothing more nor
| less than an infamous outrage upon
the people and the taxpayers to which
| the President will be a party if he
sanctions it. It will be one more scan
| dal on his scandalous administration.

WHAT THE TRUST WONT TELL.

While it is all right and proper to
allow the Chicago packers to enter a
defense of the stuff shipped to the
army as canned roast and refrigerated
beef, it is practical certainty that the
commission will learn absolutely moth
ing in Chicago about the crooked prac-
tees of the Meat Trust
The meat kings are not telling the
world and will not permit the Presi-
dents commission to discover the
methods employed in treating the meat
pulp, whence the life has been taken
to make Armour's beef extract, in or
der to pass it of as canned roast"

WEEKS PROGRAMME
FOR THE HOUSE
Four of the Big Appropriation Bills
Remain to Be Acted
Upon.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5-With but four
weeks of the session remaining Speaker
Reed and the Rules Committee of the
House have taken the reins into their
hands to keep the road clear for the bus
mess which must be transacted in order to
avoid an extra session. But four appro-
priation bills remain to be acted upon by
the House. The army, the sundry civil
and the naval will be ready during the
early part of the week. gThe Rules Com
mittee yesterday blocked out work for
the week as follows: Tomorrow, suspen-
sion day; Tuesday and Wednesday, pub
lie buildings; Thursday and Friday ap-
preparation bills, and Saturday eulogies
upon the late Representative Dingley. 1t
be passed under suspension of the rules
tomorrow, but it may be that owing to
its Importance, although there is no spe-
cial opposition to the bill, its consideration
may be postponed.
Nothing definite has been settled about
the Nicaraguan canal, Hawaiian or ship
ping bills. but they are too important to
the rules. The public buildings BILL which
will be considered on Tuesday and We'd
nesday. have not all been reported, but
they will include bills for the New York
Custopl-house, the Carnegie Library in
this city and other bills for public build
ings throughout the country. The naval
bill Which will be taken up on Thurs
day, VII carry provisions for the new
ships, and is likely to lead to a most in
existing complications in the Philippines.

honorable name to Colonel Burns,
whose name only serves to mar a rec
ord that is as black as it is long. This
modest gentleman from San Diego
thinks Dan Burns a splendid man"
who would worthily represent the State
in the upper house of the National
Congress. This being his opinion of
Burns, what must be his opinion of
himself?
1t is singular fact that Grant is the
only candidate before t. Legislature
who has no power to direct the course
his followers shall pursue after they
sever their allegiance to him. The
best he can e ect is that they will
continue to vote for him. No one
knows this better than Colonel Burns,
and for this reason the colonel is
fighting shy of Grants overtures in so
far as they relate to a possible transfer
of voting strength, but he is taking adj
vantage of the situation in another
way. He is trying to turn Grants
f1irtations to account by offering pro-
posals that will lead to the holding Of
a joint Senatorial caucus It is this
that is the real news in the Senatorial
situation tonight. Burns touts have
been sent out with an invitation to the
followers Of all the other candidates to
join in a friendly conference, having
for its purpose a discussion of the
Senatorial situation. The touts make
the argument that a friendly chat Of
this nature may possibly lead to a So
luton of the present perplexing situa-
ton, but they carefully avoid stating
that it is Burns intention that the
agreement to be reached must be a
joint Senatorial caucus. This fact is
so evident, however, that it needs no
elucidation, and the plan bids fair to
fall for want of support
Grants followers ignore their chief
and declare they must be allowed to
direct his fight as they see fit. They
/ have therefore notified Burns lieuten-
ants that they will neither enter a
friendly conference" or a conference
of any kind at this, or any other time.
The same ultimatum has been issued
from the Bulla camp and from the
headquarters of General Barnes.
The situation tonight is, therefore,
unchanged
Burns closest friends now admit that
he can never win the Senatorial toga.
Grant never had more than a ghost Of
a chance to win it and that chance was
lost to him weeks since He is not
even now factor in the fight because
he cannot control the votes that are be-
ing cast for him.

PORTO RICAN CABINET
HAS A GRIEVANCE
Objects to the Appointment of Amer
leans to Department
Positions.

SAN JUAN DE PORTO RICO, Feb. s.
The Insular Cabinet late yesterday ten
dered its resignation to Governor General
Henry because, after dismissing Car
bonell, General Henry ordered General
Eaton to take charge of the Department
of Public Instruction and instructed
Major Pierce to take charge of the De-
partment of Public Works. Both
these departments belong to the Interior
Department. The Cabinet demands the
immediate appointment of a successor to
Senior Carbonell and that natives be ap-
pointed in place of General Eaton and
Major Pierce, in accordance with pre-
vious enunciations of the policy of Gen
eral Henry and the Colonial Commission
that no Americans are to hold office here.
General Henry promises compliance with
these demands and the designations of
the members of the Insuar Cabinet are
therefore held in allegiance
General Henry will place the religious
orders in possession of the buildings
from which they had previously been
elected and will restrain any further pro-
ceedings to dispossess them unit! their
rights are judiciously determined.

DEAD MANS NAME
Circulating a Story That Thomas
H. Reynolds Left a Confession
INDIGNANT DENIALS MADE
Senatorial Aspirant Attempts
TO Fitch a Certificate Of
Character From
the Grave.
INDIGNANT

The ambition Of D. NJ. Burns has led
him into many devious paths and to the
employment of many strange allies. but
it was not until a few days ago that the
Mexican enlisted death in his service
and with the deflement of a dead mans
name sought to take another step for
ward toward the Washington goal. In
e credible as ii may seem Burns is at
tempting, through the agency of the
motley crowd around him, to wipe the
black stain of dishonesty from his own
character by adding a new tarnish to
the memory of his former friend. asso-
ciate ard ex-deputy, Thomas H. Rey-

was finally agreed upon. During the past
few days a careful canvass has been made
of the Assembly for the purpose of ascer-
gardirig such a course The result of this
canvass was evidently satisfactory to
those who are handling the proposition.
for it was given out tonight that the res
olution permitting Green to retire grace
fully from the scene without prejudice
and without having named the districts in
which Grant grubstaked prospective leg
islaters would be presented tomorrow. IL
the resolution fails to receive majority
of votes physicians certificate will be
in readiness to prevent any overt act on
the part of the unreasonable Assembly.
If it does receive the requisite number of
votes Mr. Green will be seen on the
streets again.

fession that he had falsified the
books. In his admission of guilt he
STOOD alone. In the little town of
Yankee Jim there are stories of mys-
terious books that Mexican Dan
brought up to the Centennial mine.
The books had no connection with
the mine, but Dan Burns was then
Secretary of State and by his own
confession falsified the records of his
Office.
When the official investigation Of
his Office was made the cash book and
the daily record book could not be
found. It is not unlikely that they
may be hidden in some forgotten COR
ner Of the Centennial mine, where
Burns made his many and mysterious
visits until that final one, when he
came and went, Itching from the
miners their poor earnings. These
miners might find some retributive
justice in timely discovery. But
the books would count for nothing
now, as the brand they would have
burnt was placed by Dan Burns upon
his own skin, with his own words -
confession.
The business men of this city
who, even under the compulsion of
Nose Gunst, Endorsed the candidacy
o. Burns, may be somewhat per-
turbed now to justify their action.
A public officer who is confessedly a
dishonest manipulation and falsifier
of the records of his office is hardly
a correct model for the emulation or
the admiration f honest merchants.
IT is significant that Gunst did not
sign the Endorsement he circulated. 1t
is possible that he remembered that
some one said somewhere: God save
me from my friends" Even Burns has
some associates from whom he must
protect himself when travelling near
the noses of decent men.
There is another significant fact that
should be remembered in connection
with the confession of Dan Burns and
the Mexican's blackguardism of Rey-
nolds
1t should not be forgotten that the
official investigation Of the office of
Secretary of State under tn admins
fact that for seven tbs after the re-
tirement of T. II. Reynolds from the
office the populations continued. There
was still a thief in the office Burns
was there, but Reynolds was not. The
discredited deputy had no access to the
books and certainly no confederate in
the Office.
Reynolds dropped from public view
after the scandal that besmirched him
and tainted Burns. The deputy left the
