The secret Service Chief.

Mr.. John E. Wilkio, chief of the govern
ment secret service, who has just distin.
guished himself anew by unearthing a
band of counterfeiters, Is graduate from
newspaperdom. John, like all good re-
porters, was in his early youth good deal
of an enthusiast. He served his appren-
ticeship as night police reporter on the
Chicago Tribune, and ON the day that he
was appointed to that position ian event
that took place about o'clock in the aft
ernoon) no had dressed rather more care
fully than usual-whether for a wedding
or a matinee or mere promenade his
tory telleth not. The then city editor of
The Tribune, Mr. Fred Hall, as mild
hammered gentleman as ever rewarded
SCOOP" smiled pleasantly on his boy
reporter and advised him to change those
nice clothes" before reporting at police
headquarters
Even in those days Mr.. Hall was tri1e
nearsighted, and on returning from din
ner, toward clock, he passed in the
hallway a tall figure, the chief points in
whose make up were a wide sombrero, a
pair Of tall boots and a bullying hip
pocket. He gasped gently and on reach
ing his desk, inquired Of his assistant,
who was that COMPOUNDED bandit"
THAT, sir, y replied the assistant, was
Johnny Wilkie. He goes on night police
tonight"
"Ah," sighed the chief contentedly. II
think he'll do. And it seems as if the
Johnny Wilkie of today catches thieves
as well as he once dressed for the task OF
writing about them.

THE BUFFALO STRIKERS.

Latest Indications Seem to Guarantee
Final Settlement.
Buffalo, May 1S.-Bishop Quigley
took determined stand in his efforts
to bring the strike of the grain shovel
ers and sympathetic organizations to
an end last night, and as result the
outlook for cessation of the trouble
is somewhat brighter.
Early in the evening the bishop ad"
dressed a very large meeting of strik-
ing freight handlers in East Buffalo
He asked them to appoint committee
with power to act, which will confer
with the lake line managers today, and
assured them that an agreement abol-
ishing the saloon payment system and
the Sunday work, as well as other
abuses, would be signed in short or
der. The strikers adopted the bishops
suggestion unanimously, and appoint
ed the committee. The bishop thanked
the men, told them that he would look
after their interests and said he felt
confident that they would be back at
work by Friday.
The bishop then drove to South Buff
falo, where the striking grain shovel
ers were holding a meeting. In few
words Bishop Quigley informed them
of what the handlers had agreed to do.
He then asked them to vote on GER
tain amendments to the agreement de-
cided upon by Contractor Corners and
the grain shovelers' executive commit
tee. Fully 95 per cent voted AYE"
A new turn was given to the strike
situation when the members of the
Marine Firemen's Benevolent associa-
ton voted unanimously to quit work
at noon today unless the scoopers'
strike is definitely settled by that
time.

range Programs For Discussion.
The Hague, May 1S.-The city Is
brilliantly decorated with foreign flags,
denoting the various national head
quarters of the delegates to the dis
armament conference. Last evening
M. Van HANDBOOK, former Dutch
minister of foreign affairs, gave din
ner to introduce the foreign delegates.
The reporters will be admitted only

THE MAznr INVESTIGATORS
Aahoney, Alleged Pool Room Propr
0tor. Declines to Answer.


Mahoney, Alleged Pool Room Proprl-
etor. Declines to Answer.
New York. May 18.-At yesterdays
yessions Of the Mazet investigating
committee no witness of any promi-
nence was called to the stand. James
A. Mahoney, with whom Mayor Van
Wyck admitted he had had some bust
ness transactions. was one Of the wit
nesses, and he was put through long
series Of questions with reference to
his alleged connection with pool rooms
in this city. Mahoney admitted being
a bookmaker, and admitted also that
he had conducted pool room In this
city some years ago, which had been
closed by the police. He declined
however, to answer the question as to
whether he still conducted pool rooms
here. Very little could be gotten out
of him.
Former Police Commissioner Ham
ilton, whom Mayor Van Wyck on
Tuesday designated "blackmailer,"
was on the stand fora short time, and
while there declared that what the
mayor had said was absolutely false.
Police Commissioner Hess, Republic
can. was questioned regarding the dis
missal of Chief of Police McCullagh,
and acknowledged that he had voted
against McCullagh because he had All
impression" that Mayor Van Wyck
wished him to vote that way. He said
that he remembered the fate Of Po-
lice Commissioners Phillips and Ham
ilton and believed the best thing to do
to retain his position was to vote
against McCullagh.
Several witnesses who have been
doing detective work for Counsel Moss
testified that there were large num-
Der of pool rooms running in New
York, that no difficulty was ex-
perienced in gambling in those places,
and that at no time was police interfer-
ence thought of,

The boycotting of the luckless Mexican
ambassador by representatives of the other
powers at Washington recalls an anecdote
of recently deceased clubman. He was
present one evening at a little musical
gathering when an aspimnt for honors as
pianist seated himself at the piano and
began playing one of tho national airs of
Mexico, La Paloma.
His execution was deadly, and he bang
ed and thumped the piano until it was a
fit object for the interference of the hui
mano society. Finally he whirled around
on the stool and said: Did you notice
the air was playing? Well, when they
led Macmillan out to be shot they asked
him what tune he would like to be shot by,
and he selected La Paloma Do you
know whyE'
eyes, " replied the clubman as he glaref
at the excculioner Of the tune. II suppose
1t robbed death Of half its terrors.

THE circus was here and brought
some five or six thousand visitors
from all over the State as we'll as
from Chester and all along the
Philadelphia and Chester trolley
line. 1t was a good show and was
patronized by some 5000 people in
the afternoon, but owing to the rain,
there was smaller audience in the
evening. During the evenings per-
Torrance the tents weretaken down
while the concert, given after the
circus performance, was i'll pro-
gress. The quick and expeditions
manner in which the large army of
employees took down the polls and
then the huge tent with seating
capacity Of 5000 people, was reve-
lation to the audience. Everything
worked like clock work and the men
worked as if the paraphernalia
only weighed few pounds instead
Of running up in the hundreds.
The circus employs some seven or
eight hundred people, two hundred
being performers and forty consti-
tuting it's executive staff. They
have six hundred head of horses,
which, with their large collection of
wild animals, which have to be feed
three times day, requires quite
an outlay of capital to run it daily,
and rainy day means big loss
to the management. 1t is said they
took some $4,000 out of the city after
paying all bills. They will show
at Trenton, n. j., to-day.

AGuINALDo has an earnest ally
in the Every Evening in his efforts
to defy the authority of the United
States. II he were able to estab-
lish q stable government and pro-
tect the lives and property of the
people Of the Philippine Islands,
there might be some excuse for the
course he is pursuing. President
Mckinley has no desire to enslave
the Filipenos, or exercise any OPP
pressive authority over them his
object is to give them protection
that will lead to the improvement of
their condition. Aguinaldo, how
ever, did not wait to learn the char
acter of the Government proposed,
but forthwith made war upon our
army. The result is, the strife has
thus far continued, and must con-
tinue until he comes to terms. The
sympathizers, like Every Evening
and Ex-Governor Boutwell, and
Atkinson, tend to encourage Aguin-
aldo to prolong the contest and add
to the slaughter of which they COM
plain. Such sympathizers are not
true friends of the Filipenos, but
their enemies, and stimulate them
to continue contest that should be
brought to close. Every proposed
reform has had it's opponents and
it would be a miracle if this one
should not meet with opposition.
In any other country but ours such
blatant opposition would not be toll
GRATED. We hope, however, that the
scales may soon fall from the eyes
of the assailants of President Nc
Kinley and his hands strengthened
to enable him to bring the contest
to speedy and satisfactory close.
The loyal people should frown down
such reasonable utterances and
make the utterers as unpopular as
were the copperheads in the days
of the great rebellion some IS years
ago.

Clemmer, who was convicted as an &C.
complete in the murder of Mrs Emma
Kaiser on Oct %, 1896, was hanged in
the county Jail here today. Clemmer's
last night on earth was sorrowful
one. He took final leave Of his wife
yesterday, and was busy preparing for
the end. Besides his spiritual advisers
and his wife he was visited by his at
torney and Judge Weand, who pre-
sided at Clemmer's trial and who SEN
fenced him to death. Clemmer was
somewhat unnerved on account of the
nearness Of the end. The murderer
was removed from the lower tier Of
cells to the upper tier, and last night
slept only a few feet from where the
gallows was erected.
