The incurable break in the Republican
machine in Ohio may help honest people
into their own. The audacity of Mayor
McKisson, of Cleveland, in challenging the
title of Senator Hanna to the Republican
party, has led to this internal war and
therefore diminished the power of the or
ganization. Hanna can still control con-
ventions, but there will always be a mi
nority to kick and expose his methods to
the world. In the State conventions this
defeat of McKisson by Hanna will have its
effects. At the least it will prevent the
nomination of the most conspicuous Han
ma men or else ensure their defeat at the
polls There is always that probability
when party allows itself to be dominated
by supreme boss.

Where is that report Where is the re-
port of DR.. Devoe, chief meat inspector at
Chicago. for the Government He began
an investigation of packing house to dis
cover such frauds as have been described
by Thomas F. Dolan. He made report to
the Secretary of Agriculture. He got far
enough to find that if he should keep on
he would probably reveal the frauds. Then
he was ordered away from there-far away.
Why? In his report he suggested con-
tinuation of the search 1t was not con-
tinued. Now the report is missing. There
is very strong crcumstantial evidence of
fraud in the packing house and of corrup-
ton in the Department of Agriculture.

In the name of common sense it may be
asked what the Court of Enquiry has to do
with the question of DR.. Days cu'pability
in failing to notify General Miles earlier
about the bad beef? The purpose OF the
Court is, or should be, not to discover
whether Dr. DAILY neglected his duty but
whether bad beef was served TO our SOL
ders. Suppose he did-doss that weaken
the force of his testimony as to the char
acter of the meat? The judge advocate
seems to think that if he can show slch
neglect or delay, it either proves that the
meat was good or that it warranted the
beef contractors in selling unfit stuff And
then, too. suppose he doesn't know the
odor of boric acid? The chemist o. the
Department of Agriculture confirms his
testimony that there was boric acid in that
soup. Why should the Court want to an
noy this witness?

did not know there was a Van Wyck

You know what those five-minute ex-

never gets a chance to say all he wants
to say. What l want to say is: What's
the use of a meeting, anyway? l feel
very kindly toward Tammany. Its lead.
ers have always shown me the utmost
courtesy and cordiality; therefore
don't want anybody to think that

Saratoga n. V, July 5.-Bishop New
man of the Methodist Episcopal church of
San Francisco died at 2:30 o'clock this AZ
ternoon. Bishop Newman had been in
failing health for a year past, but 1t was
only week ago that his condition really
alarmed his friends. Since July l he has
been sinking rapidly. and this morning
his physicians announced that in all prob
ability he would not survive the day. The
immediate cause of the death Of Bishop
Newman was pneumonia. AT 2 o'clock
this afternoon his pulse was hardly per-
ceptible. The physicians in attendance
recognized that the end was near and
relatives and immediate friends were
summoned to the bedside. The bishop
became conscious shortly before his death
and recognized his wife
Mrs. U. s. Grant. Mrs. F. D. Grant and
others arrived at the scene a moment or
so later. Mrs. Newman Is almost crushed
by her bereavement. kilograms and ca
Diagrams are being received FROM all
quarters tonight expressing sympathy. A
dispatch from Bishop Randolph Foster at
Roxbury, Mass, announces that he will
reach Saratoga tomorrow morning and
complete arrangements for the funeral.
1t will take place at the First Methodist
Episcopal church, this city, Saturday af-
ternoon.
