WASHINGTON, Jan. 2-Noshing more
has been heard at the war department from
Gen Otis since his cab,egram of yester-
day. 1t Is surmised that Gen. Miles is
proceeding with more tact and with less
roughness In his dealings with the insur-
gents than appeared from first inspection
OF the reports. His purpose apparently
was TO avoid such formal recognition Of
the insurgents as might tend TO embarrass
the United States government hereafter,
but at the same time not to deal harshly

SURPRISE AT HAYS
LETTER TO MAJ. DICK
The Secretays Assault on Democratic Leaders Disgrace
to the High Position of Premier of
This Republic.

Jones, and with a large smattering of
Smiths among them, with all the names
between these well known family appela-
tions still there are very few who have
not retained the Tyler their middle
name. They are very proud of their record
in the history of this country and a regu-
larly elected historian keeps the family
history intact and preserves every branch
of it.
They come from Massachusetts, Maine
Illinois and as far west Virginia. Mrs.
Letftia Tyler-Sempe, who presided over
the white house during the administration
of President Tyler, and who is now an in
mate of the Louise Home here, is always
a conspicuous figure in these gathrings
and much court is paid her by the younger
generations.
The Tylers admit no one outside of their
family to their reunions. In fact, there
would be little room if there were any In
vited guest, so prolific have the Tylers be-
come. At their meetings they have their
history read and corrected, and the seese-
tary reports upon any membes of the
family who have become INDECENT in any
way. They have an annual concert in
which only original music Is heard, and
there is always one or more poets among
them. The present governor or Virginia
has been elected president of the clan and
Justice Brown, of the supreme bench, made
the orator. The president received them
and rendered them private reception ana
no one member accepts an invitation to
which all are not invited.
Rudyard Kipling's family in this country
is growing 1t will be remembered that last
year. on receiving notice that one post
office and a railroad station in Michigan
Rad been named in his honor, he wrote
a room, remarkable for literary beauty,
too, in which each verse ended with the
line MY sons in Michigan"
Within the past week there have been
two more applications from towns In the
middle west to have postoffices named af-
ter the great Agglo-Saxon poet. One comes
from Ohio and another from Iowa. The
petition from Ohio has already been grant
ed, and now a town there Is known offi-
cially as Kiplng If Kipling intends hon
who so honors him, he will be at a loss for
rhymes. Indeed is would challenge his
ingenuity to find one for Ohio, to say moth
ing of Iowa, and think what an effort 1t
would be to find a suitable rhym for Kan
sas.

Carpets and rugs from many homes in
our city have beeen cleaned with the ma
chine which is being operated by the Bir-
mingham Carpet Cleaning company. Their
works are at 2210 Avenue A. The finest
fabric and old carpets are cleaned without
injury. Not only this, but the manager
told our representative that the work was
better and cheaper than 1t could be when
the old method of beating with stick is
used. Then. in this machine the carpets are
are made perfectly clean by the dry fresh
air. process. After this, if desired, they
will brighten carpets and rugs which may
have become faded or dull, using prepara-
ton made by Mr.. Hayes, which he guar
antees will not injure colors or carpets in
the least Then all must see that by this
method no dust or dirt is secured into the
carpet, and of course will keep clean long
er.
As intimated above the prices are rea-
sonable, and the work is first class
Mr.. Hayes says there Is an "art and
science in cleaning carpets and rugs
This he has clearly shown. If you want
carpets and rugs cleaned give the Bir-

Washing on, September 16.--(Special.)-
There is much Indignation among the DEM
ocrats and surprise on the part of every
one that Secretary Hay should have de-
scended from mis- high office to have taken
part in local contest in Ohio. His state
ment that the only enemies this country
has are 4he democratic leaders is resented
by all conservative persons, more especially
when 1t is recalled that there are nanny
democrats who think with the administra-
tion on the subject of expansion, and the
most active propaganda against the policy
of the administration comes from within
the republican party itself
Even among the secretary's most intimate
friends there is a feeling of disappointment
that he should have shown himself to be
such a narrow partisan Irrespective OF
party and party policies, 1t is thought that
the secretary OF state has lowered the dig
nifty of his office and put his brilliant
rhetoric to poor use when he turned 1t on
ms own countrymen. He is essentially the
one officer of the government who stands
for the entire people against all foreign
powers, and when he makes himself the
single tool of any one party he bellttles his
prerogatiVes and weakens the influence of
his department..
1t is pointed out too that had he any
thing to say or any charge to deny, he oc-
ctpied a suffsenty commanding post to
have addressed himself to the Whole people
and not confined his utterances to a local
politician with the unsavory reputation of
Major Dick, a common henchman of Mark
Hanna Even the republicans do not deny
that he has committed a mistake, even Il
lie has not acted in an undigniied way as
premier of the great republic. His letter to
this PENTHOUSE politician, Dick, will lose its
effect, as it is already being said that the
admnistra ton must be hard run and
frightened over the situation in Ohio when
il has to bring into the. controversy such an
eminent official as the secretary of state
The truth of the adage that blood will
tell has been conspicuously brought out in
the city of Washington during the past
week. There have been number of con-
ventions held here recently but none have
attracted the attention which convention
of Tylers has done. 1t has been the custom
for years for this celebrated Virginia
family to meet in annual concave. Every
year has shown that this family has faith
fully carried out the advice to increase
and multiply. There were several hundred
of them at the conclave this year and every
member present seemed remarkable for

PAUL PRY SEES
BADEN BADEN ENFETE
The Old German Town of Mainz With Its Picturesque Castles
and Historical Memores-The Home of
Gutenberg.
Gutenberg.

Baden Baden, August 26.-(Special Corro-
spondence.) 1.-The old German town of
Mainz we saw under the most favorable
circumstances, as everywhere she was put
ting on gala attire in anticipation of a visit
from the kaiser. The royal flags of Ger
many and Prussia were in evidence every
where, while the large, open square near
by the depot where the emperor was to
arrive was most deliberately decorated with
laurels and flowers and festooned with
evergreens. The whole gave the old town
quite a festive and joyous appearance,
which could not be wholly married by even
the grimmest of the old fortresses. In
Mainz we fully felt the dominant impress
of the militarism that sets its iron heel on
this country, for it ranks as fortress
with Cologne and Strassburg. Here print
ing was first done with movable types by
dignifed old Gutenberg, whose statue
stands In the market place not far from
one of Schiller. After carriage ride over
the city, which gave us a good idea of the
quaintness of the old place we alighted at
the old cathedral. 1t is a most interesting
old Romanesque pile, fully seven hundred
years old, full of warm and harmonious
color We reached the floor after some
search behind abutting old houses, down
flight of steps some feet below the level of
the street that time has filled up about IT.
Agricola founded a Roman camp here be-
+. fore the Christian era, and when in the
thirteenth century 1t became the leader in
the league of a hundred Rhenish towns, 1t
was known as the Golden MainZ, so great
was its prosperity. 1t is shorn of these
glories now and of the electoral palace
which once it had; but 1t possesses the
largest modern hall in all Germany. In
Mainz. Becker found the Shakespearean
death mask once owned by the Kesselstadt
family and now held in Darmstadt at
price which makes its purchase prohibitory.
In the early morning squads of infantry,
marching by the Rheinischerhof, reused us
from our sleep, and then came the flashing
troop of crested cavalry.
We learned that they were marched out
at this early hour each morning from their
quarters across the Rhine for some miles
in the open air where they are put through
the most rigorous movements and then
marched back again. We were standing on
the beautiful quag along the bank of the
Rhine which is picturesquely covered with
overlapping chestnut trees when we heard
the SOUND of music and the long file of
soldiers marched back across the bridge
to their quarters. Fine specimens they
were, too, and we regretted that We could
not wait over for a couple of days until
the arrival of the kaiser, when he would
hold al review of the troops and accept the
hospitality of the town. From Mayence
ouf route lay through the beautiful wooded
dstricf of the Odenwald. where in the
golden legend Prince Henry reads to Elsie

hours to Heidelberg and really 1t seemed
but few moments before we had reached
our destination. We enjoyed so much the
scenery along the way. And here we were
in old Heidelberg. 1t is an intoxcatin
moment when one realizes scenes that one
has read about and longed to see for years,
and at last on some cool, sunshiny, glorious
day beholds the scene In reality Nature
and history combine to make Heidelberg
attractive. The old part of the town lies
along the bank of the river Neckar and
can hardly climb the steep mountain called
the Kings seat that rises close over 1t >, on
spur of which stands the great Schloss,
whose vast ivy-clad walls almost overhang
the queer, ancient corn market.
The city of heidelberg is celebrated on
account of the beauty of its situation, but
1t is the castle which imparts to the charm
ing landscape its fascinating character.
After the Rhine with its magnificent old
castles, so wonderously set like a crown
on the brow Of a precipitous mountain
crag, we never dreamed of seeing anything
to compare with them-old ruins though
many of them be. And yet how little We
dreamed of the surprising magnifcence of
Heidelberg castle. New life grows out of
ruins, surely, for the ruins of Heidelberg
castle have inspired many a poet to some
of their best illusions; artists too, have
worked with eagerness and all their art
istic skill in their endeavor to delight us
with realistic representations, and yet none
OF these can give one even the least ade-
quate idea of the original.
Our own Longfeow calls Heidelberg
the German Alhambra, placing ii with the
Spanish Alhambra the srandest ruin of
the middle ages. Frederick Won Cent?
says: 1T is a drama of gigantic men and
works of art interviewer with nature at
orce grand and lovely" as he has never
seen anything like it and does not think
that there is another to be found In the
stamp it as the grandest and most beauti-
fun ruin i'm Germany.
To narrate the exciting events that made
1t famous would be to recite long chapters
OF european history. 1t is placed nigh up
on a crest of the mountain side apparently
lmpregnable. Its interior walls of yellow
stone are of enormous strength, and stern
and foitbidding until the soft ivy came and
manted them.
But on the inner facades towards the

that lay behind them, one great elector
after another lavished his wealth. Es-
pecially splendid is the Bau Cor building) of
Otto Heinrich, who had McLancthon for
his councillor, and of Friedrich ". whose
son married the daughter of James l. of
England. Otto was the friend of the con-
tinential reformers, and was an enlighten-
ed lover of art as well. We stopped at the
Schloss hotel even higher up on the noun
tain side and from our window we had
beautiful view of the castle to our left
and of the valley of the Neckar spread out
like a grand panorama below. We were
all eagerness, so we set out Immediately

First Tennessee regiment, / was allowed to
take out of the report with permission to
make II public. This part of the report is
as follows:
- Now from celu journeyed and
came to Iloiloon, the island of Fancy. Here

Eighteenth regiment of regulars and the

Milo, which was under Major Chatham, a
son of the old confederate. Major Cheath-
am, until he left for his new volunteer reg
iment, was at this post
Now, Cheatham Is a Tennessee man and
does not believe in the niger you per-
ceive. But the islanders are not negroes
but brown Malays. But all our lads call
them 'niggers.' In the old chivalrc south
men were not the brutes spoken of and de-
picted in Uncle Toms Cabin. Cheatham
is one of the old time southern gentlemen
and he used the Biscayans here as ne
would have used the negroes on his father s
plantation, with wisdom and kindness
Not hostile shot was fired into Milo since
these southern men took it.
when l drove through the town with
that gallant gentleman, Colonel Childers,
1t seemed to me that he must have lived
there all his life and at one time been a
feudal lord of the place. Old men came
out and took off their hats Women held
up their babies that they might see the
commandante Americana.
1.-The point of use to know Is that Milo
under the southern boys, for they are not
much more, is governed wisely and having
it's autonomy with American oversight, is
prosperous and happy and this, too,~ under
the Tennesseeans and southerners, men
most unlikely to have sentimental reasons
for the exaltation of the colored skin.
What we suffer from most and are suf-
fering from still, is the puny freshness of
some of our American officers who are in
temporary power here"
