LIEUTENANT LANG
IS IN DISGRACE
Accused Of ScandaIOuS
Conduct.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 1S.-A Washing
ton special to the Herald says: Charges
of scandalous conduct have been pre-
ferred against Lieutenant Clarence e.
Lang of the Second Artillery which will
probably result in the court martial of
that officer, and may lead to divorce
suit Lieutenant Lang's domestic
affairs have caused the department
much trouble in the past.
Lieutenant Lang has been ordered to
report to the colonel commanding,
Washington Barracks, pending action
by the War Department on formal
charges which have been made against
him by Major John S. Sewall of the
Engineer Corps. The specific charges
are conduct unbecoming an officer and
gentleman and scandalous conduct
prejudicial to good order and military
discipline. The specifications which
Major SeWall. has also prepared set
forth that Lieutenant Lang, who is a
married man. has been living for the
last five days at fashionable boarding
house in K street, this city, under the
name of Mr.. Daniels, and that woman
not his wife has been with him, who
has passed as Mrs. Daniels.
Major SeWall lives at the same board
ing house. He was at the Military
Academy at the time Lieutenant Lang
was a cadet there, and recognized his
old schoolmate, but was aStoniShed to
find he was travelling under an assumed
name He knew that Lieutenant Lang
had married the daughter of commits
sary sergeant at West Point, and, while
making due allowance for the few years
that have passed since he was ac-
uuainted with Mrs Lang as girl, he
recognized at once that the woman
with the artillery officer was not his
wife.
Major Sewall promptly reported the
matter to his superior officers, who adj
vised him to put his charges into writ
ing. which he has done. He also spoke
to the landlady, and Mr.. and Mrs.
Daniels" are no longer under the same
roof with Major Sewall.
The matter was taken up at army
headquarters yesterday and an order
was issued directing Lieutenant Lang
to report to General Miles at 10 o'clock,
when he received instructions to report
without delay to the colonel command
ing, Washington Barracks. Mrs. Dan
iels" left, unaccompanied by Mr.. Dan
| iels."
Lieutenant Lang came to this city on
| Monday last on sick leave. He is eli
| gibIe for promotion, and the intention
! was to order him before the board in
! this city for examination for that pur-
pose. An effort is being made to in
! duce him to resign so as to avoid the
! scandal of court martial. 1t is re-
ported here that Lieutenant Lang
| separated from his wife about a year
| ago.

GREEN CANDY IS
NOT ACCEPTABLE
Present Promptly Sent
to the Police.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, March 18.-Mrs. Julia
A Mays of 240 Fifth avenue to-day re-
ceived by mail small box of inferior
grade candy, most of 1t of a green color,
accompanied by a card bearing this in
scriptiCn: ITO Mrs Julia Mays; from
Mary, March H." The woman knew of
no one named Mary whose presents
might assume such form, and she sent
the box, contents and wrapper in which
it was received to the police station by
a hallboy, together with a message that
she thought the candy was poisoned.
Police Captain Price put three de-
tectives on the case. AT the conclusion
of the days labors they made their re-
port behind closed doors and no part
of it was made public.
1.-The box came in the early mail,
said Mrs. Mays, and was brought to
my room by the hallboy. / noticed that
the writing was perpendicular, but nee
essarily disguised. The box was lined
with green ribbon of a cheap quality,
On top of the candy lay shamrock
and card. The first thing that struck
me as queer was the small quantity
and then the poor quality Of the candy
Coupled with the fact that / knew nc
one likely to send such a gift nor any
che who might see significance in max
mig me a present on st. Patrick's day
these made me distrustful and 1 imme-
diately sent everything to the police"
Mrs. Mays said she had not noticed
at what station the package had beer
mailed; neither had she thought tc
compare the card with the writing or
the paper.
"I have no violent enemies" she de-
clared. Il don't think there is sou
alive wishful of my death. l don't sag

LONDON. March 18.-While the
apostles of disarmament are packing
their trunks for Holland, the author Of
this pious conference is committing IN
Finland an act more brutal than war.
BY solemn treaties the Firms have been
since 1903 bound to Russia by the same
rule. Their own successive Cars have
renewed the pledges, and the Firms
have shown their gratitude by Loyalty
keeping the peace.
Suddenly this Car orders a Russifi-
cation of the country, and it is being
done quietly, but fOrcibly, as though it
were another Poland. a monster pc
ttion is now preparing from Firms in
different parts of the world, and if the
Russian police refuse it access to
the throne it might possibly prove
an interesting document at the interna-
:ional peace conference.
Peace conferences, by the way,
nave become epidemic in England.
There is one every day or so, where
professional philanthropists and anna
teur speakers find an indulgent audi
ence and do very little harm.
So long as the Government main
tains it's policy of military prepared
ness America should cherish no illu-
sions on the subject of disarmament.
America needs an army Of at least 100,
300 regulars and a supplementary mill
tary school besides West Point. Its
navy should be doubled, and when it
has got thus far then it will be in a
position TO command peace, for peace
ioes not come to those who merely talk
about 1t.

mckinley AGAINST
HIS OLD OPPONENT
The Tickets for Nineteen
Hundred.
Special Dispatch to The Call.
Call Headquarters, Wellington Hot
WaShino tOn March 1S

Call Headquarters, Wellington Hotel,
Washington, March 49,
The meeting of President Mckinley,
Senator Hanna and Mr.. Platt in
Thomasville, Ga. the Belmont din
ner in New York and the early discus
sion of the place of holding the national
conventions indicate that the Presi-
Dental campaign has opened a year
ahead of the usual time.
The friends of Reed, too, gave a din
ner, said to have been for the purpose
Of launching his Presidential BOOM
The distribution of patronage has, as
usual, made a good many enemies for
the Presidential incumbent, and these
dissatisfied place hunters and their
friends propose to rally round the Reed
standard. Failing in this it is generally
believed they will fall into the Roose-
welt camp.
Mr. Hanna has doubtless observed
this, and it probably explains why he
has summoned a council of the friends
of the President to take immediate
steps to head it off and prevent it from
becoming dangerous. AS soon as Sen
ator Hanna returns from Thomasville,
which will be about the 1St of April, 1t
is understood he will call a meeting Of
the executive committee of the Repub-
Hcau National Committee. The meeting
will take place in Washington and the
machinery of the party Will be set In
motion.
In this way Senator Hanna hopes to
forestall any opposition to Mr.. McKin-
ley that may be developed. While Nc
Kinley and Bryan are strong faVorltes
for the Republican and Democratic
nominations there is big minority in
each organization that Is working
against them. General opinion here is
that If the national conventions should
be held within the next few months
both Mckinley and Bryan would prob
ably be nominated without serious OPP
position, but the events of the next
twelve or fourteen months may change
the situation materially.
Mr.. Bryan's friends" said n Bryan
man to-day, will certainly control the
Democratic National Convention next
year. They will organize the conven-
ton and appoint the committee on con-
tested seats. 1t Is safe to- say that
there will be contesting delegations
from New York and every State where
the men in control Of the party ma
chinery refuse to indorse the Chicago
platform of 1896. We will not admit
delegates that do not stand squarely
upon the Chicago platform, as the
point will be made that they are not
4 Democrats. A majority of the conVen-
ton will have absolute control Of this
matter and can act as 1t sees fit. I'm
! less the anti-Bryan people can capture
a clear majority Of the delegates to the
Democratic National Convention they
Will not be able to defeat Mr.. Bryan's
nomination. Two-thirds rule or no
two thirds rule, we do not propose to
! let the tail wag the dog"

nroiect has been under discussion since

grant low rates for the occasion, and 1t
is reasonably certain the Southern Pacif1c
will do likewise.
Scattered over the State are thousands
of men and women who formerly resided
