! in Mourning.
| When W. e. Nankerville, manager of
Human Hearts," left here with his
company yesterday for Butte his heart
| was as heavy within him as truck
| load of scenery. He longed for wire
less telegraph that would connect him
with his advance agent, J. A. Campbell
and give the latter this message:
Come back or quit going SO fast"
| The cause of the managers woe is the
! sudden and unexpected swiftness-in
| more ways than one-of the advance
| man. All season Mr.. Campbell has
| been in advance Of the show and. until
| st. Paul was reached. has proved him
self capable, conscientious and pains
taking man. But before sending Mr..
| Campbell west out of st. Paul Mr..
Nankerville SO far forgot the traditions
| OF his profession as to pay Mr.. Camp
| bell considerable block of mis- salary
, in advance.
Then began Mr.. Campbell's cyclone
| tour through the far West.
| Ordinarily an advance man travels
| le&urely and keeps q stated number Of
days ahead of the company, but Mr.
Campbell has been increasing his lead
| every day. He reached Anaconda Nov
81, four days before he was due, and
now is much further ahead than that
| 1t Is believed he was in Portland yes
| terday
The lively travelling of Mr.. Campbell
is not all; he has been borrowing
! money. 1t is habit of advance men
to borrow money for necessary ex-
, penses from the local manager now and
then, giving as security an order on
the company which the agent, being
authorized by his terms Of employment,
| is paid when the company arrives
! When Mr.. Nankerville struck Mon
! tana he began to receive these orders
in startling number. They met him at
Helena, at BoZeman, at Great Falls
| and even at Anaconda.
| MY God" said he, spelling the
| studied arrangement of his hair with
one, agonized gesture, what shall I
! do?"
| Then he sent for the sheriff.
| A deputy responded and to him the
| excited manager related his tale of
| trouble. II want a warrant for this
! man." said he; II want him arrested
| right off,"
| The officer explained that the agent
| had been guilty OF no crime and il any
| offense had been committed at all it
would be only misdeneanor, as no
| more than $50 had been secured any
where.
Fifty dollars," almost shrieked Mr..
Nankerville: why he's got $3.50 in this
! state alone"
Perhaps he has, altogether" said the
officer; "but you can't bunch all the
amounts. You've got to take one par
ticular case"
IF I were back East could get a
warrant"
Perhaps"
Then the manager lamented. 81 can't
stand it," said he. THAT man will ruin
me. God only knows how much he's
got now and he's going faster every
day. can't locate him. Why, I'll have
to stop the show if he goes on"
Then the manager began to warm up
the telegraph wires. At last reports
they We're still heated.

| people may have been little dazzled
by Deweys victory, and blinded for 4

it can be affirmed, almost with Ger

| It is clear that the glamour of i'm

during the last year, and the results
were plainly manifest in the two states

Hanna are becoming louder, and lately
it has been announced that while he
will not resign. his health demands his
retirement as national chairman at the
end of the term for which he was
elected Everything indicates alarm in
the republican camp. Should it become
too acute. nothing would be more nat
ural than for the party managers to
cast about them for a stronger candi-
date than Mr.. Mckinley.
In such case who would equal Dewey
in strength? Hanna showed his fear
OF the admiral when he declared that
it was an insult to the hero of Manila
to speak of him as a presidential can
didate. 1t may very easily be that the
attack upon Dewey was engineered in
the interest of Mckinley as intima ted
by the Constitution. If it was directed
from the Office of the Washington
Star, it is altogether likely that it was
so. OF course Mr.. Mckinley person.
ally did not do it. He never does any
thing himself until he concludes that
it is popular, and then he did it all"
and claims all the glory.
But all this aside. it is very certain
that Mr.. Mckinley has more to fear
from Dewey's popularity than has any
other man in the United States. 1t is
well known that although the admiral
signed the commissions report, and de-
clares himself in favor Of holding the
Philippines, his first actions in the
islands We're altogether inconsistent
with that idea of the forcible subiuga-
ton OF the natives which has domi-
mated Mr.. Mckinley. Dewey doubtless
realizes that there are different ways
of holding the islands. and better
way of conciliating the natives than
by shooting thousands of them into
eternity.
So the idea of the Atlanta Constitu-
ton that Dewey is in McKinley's way,
may not be so very far fetched

aport early in the action, to avoid being
rammed by the enemy and to open the
way for the firing of his fleet, whose
guns he blanketed by being between them
and the enemy. If he had permitted his
ship to be sunk by the Spanish and gone

Two such grave offenses as were COM

himself to be destroyed and thus avoided

~ VERY associated press newspa-
per in the country has the bulk
of the presidents message now in
it's office. 1t started over the wires
at 10 o'clock yesterday morning and
kept coming until late in the after
noon. The balance will come along
this morning. 1t is sent thus early
! by the associated press under the
most absolute pledge to the president
that no associated press newspaper
will publish it wholly, or in part,
or in synopsis. before it shall have
been presented and read to congress.
Nor may any newspaper comment
upon any portion of it in advance, or
directly or indirectly divulge so much
as a single sentence or single idea.
AS a matter of fact, the message is
not supposed to be in any newspaper
office, but in the possession of the tel
egraph operator who received it; I'M
der his instructions he is not to turn
the copy over to the managing editor
until he has received authority so to
do from the headquarters of the asso-
ciated press at Chicago. Every news
paper is placed upon it's honor, and it
may safely be predicted that not one
will violate the secrecy imposed upon
it. The message will go to congress
Tuesday noon, and the moment after
its reception over the associated press
wires will be flashed the words "presi
dents message released" which means
that it is ripe for publication and ed
itorial comment. 1t is understood that
the copy may be passed into the print
ers' hands Tuesday morning.
This is the first time a president
message has been placed on the wires
on the Sunday preceding the opening
of congress. Heretofore it has been
started at 2 A. NJ. on the day of the
opening. 1t is significant of President
McKinley's respect for the press and
his confidence in it's professional honor
that he consented to the new arrange
ment, which is of great advantage to
operators and editors all along the

OF the action. has wounded their igno-
rance and nothing but the destruction of
Schley can appease them.
Rear Admiral Schey had no occasion
to call for a court of inquiry. He had
not a single responsible accuser except
ing the secretary of the navy who made
his com plant to the senate only to be
reprimanded by it's decisive vote. True.
Rear Admiral Sampson clandestinely and
in the most cowardly manner had accused
him, in indefinite terms in letter to
the department without notifying Schley.
as the rules of the navy require. but his
only responsible critic was Secretary
Long, who was discredited by his supe-
riors. He revived the same criticism to
serve a political purpose in the West.
and that letter was entirely unprovoked
and uncalled for, as it presented nothing
new. 1t was translated from the German
and republished in English and generally
known in Washington on a Saturday
morning, and on the evening of the same
day Schley received his orders to take
command of the South Atlantic squad
ron.
The country would have no faith in a
naval inquiry appointed by the navy de-
who conceivcs himself to be the entire
navy department and the whole navy of
the United States to boot, would appoint
the court and write its verdict to go with
the appointment. But congress has du-
ties imposed upon 1t by this issue. and 1t
should make an honest exhaustive and
fearless inquiry into the whole naval dis
pute. The country would be glad to
knCw the truth. and a congressional in
vestigation would give it. The testimony
would be given to the public, and even
packed committee could not, by q parti-
san report, unsettle the next to universal
judgment of the patriotic people of the
nation as to who fought and won the
battle of Santiago. If Schley committed
errors let them be made known and lie.

Crowninshield and the whole crew who
injected themselves into this disgraceful
strife. be unmasked before the country.
and let the people know why a hero
should be prosecuted because he won tho
