New Secretary of War.

Washington, March 5.-General "Joe"
Wheeler may be the next secretary of
war The president, when he heard how
Speaker Reed had insulted the general by
refusing to recognize him on the floor of
the house, was indignant. The president
regarded the speakers action as an insult
to an old and valued representative, an
insult to the confedelacy, an insult to a
soldier, an insult to a Santiago hero Sew
erd gentlemen talked over the matter
with the president this evening When
they left the White house the news be-
came current that General Wheeler would
succeed Russell A. Alger, and that the
latter might oblige his friends by announc-
ing his willingness to retire next week.

Heavy Loss Through Texas, New Mex
leo and Indian Territory.

Denver, Colo, March S.-From reports
which have been coming to the headquar-
tiers of the National Live Stock Associa-
ton for the past month, the officers OF the
association estimate the losses from the
recent storms to cattlemen who have herds
on the open ranges at per cent OF the
entire amount. This, in round numbers,
would amount to over three quarters OF a
million head.
The reports have been received from
leading stockmen and are considered ac-
curate as far as they go. Oregon, Wash
ington and Arizona suffered very little and
will have only nominal losses. California
is still suffering from drouth and the out.

through CATTLE" that is, cattle being
moved north from the south, reaching in
some sections as high as 20 per cent.
Further Loss Expected.
Taking the range sections as a whole, to
the present time, the losses will average 4
per cent With the most favorable condi-
tions that can be expected additional loss
may be looked for before spring, and
should the weather continue bad through
March, a heavy loss will certainly result.
In Utah, Wyoming and some parts OF
Oregon heavy sheep losses are reported.
1t is feared that there will also be heavy
sheep losses in Montana Wyoming re-
ports some instances OF losses reaching AS
high as 80 per cent, and some claim that

AFTER DELANEY.
Williams College May Ask
Him to Become Ath-
letic Coach.

An evening papa makes the erroneous
statement that Jere Delaney, formerly
OF The Spy staff, has received an offer
from Williams College 10 act as ath-
letic coach Of that college next spring.
II is true that a strong movement IS
under way in the Berkshire college TO
secure the services OF the Worcester
athlete for next season. and it is more
than probable that an offer may be
made Delaney in the not distant fu-
ture but The Spy can authOritatively
state that up to the present no definite
offer has been made on either side
The movement 10 induce Delaney 10
go to Williams originated many months
ago in a quiet way. Paul Potter and
Capt John Bray Of the Williams track
team were among the most prominent
in urging his appointment They were
confident that a man who has accom-
plished the astonishing results Delaney
! has with raw material at Exeter can
make an even greater reputation for
himself at college with its great
number OF seasoned and experienced
athletes.
Delaney on his side is undetermined
what 10 DO. He has had half offers from
Dartmouth, Brown and several other
| leading institutions but he finds con-
ditions at Exeter so peculiarly pleasant
that ne will be loath TO leave his pres
| ent enyiable situation unless the offer
/ is very iattering one. He feels how
! ever, that a team like the Williams
| team, which was able TO come within
! one point Of winning the Worcester
| meet in spite Of the fact that they were
| without the guidance of an experienced
| coach, would do wonders with a little
| careful training. The fact that work
4 on the new athletic field in williams
| town viii commence within a few
months will also serve TO boom track
| athletics at the Berkshire Institution.
Last Saturday Manager c. y. Stod-
\ dard of the Williams track team was in
/ town, and in company with Paul Potter
! had conference with Delaney. Man
| ager Stoddard announced his inability
! to make Delaney a definite offer until
/ after the meeting OF the Williams ath-
| letiC counsel which will be called short
/ " after the opening Of the college year
| Delaney stated that he preferred no;
/ to come to any decision hastily. and
might take a few weeks TO confer with
! MS Exeter friends before accepting or
! rejecting any offer he might possibly
| receive in the future from Williams
| Capt. John Bray Of the Williams team
! VIII be one of the competitors in tbs
| tai! meet at the oval. and another con-
! ference may be held at thaS time. al.
| thf ugh II is not probable that DELANEY
| WIZ sign q contract with either Exeter
] or Williams until November.

"a few weeks ago we had a grand
contest for the championship Of Ards
ley, with two gold medals uP-one
for the women and one for US, and
very keen rivalry was manifested
even before the championship contests
were played. The betting to use an
expression; of course we didn't bet)
was largely in favor of Mrs. Wilkin-
ton, with Mrs Whitney close Sec
ond. 1t is immaterial who the male
contestants were. 1t is sufficient to
say that the medal in the female class
was virtually conceded to either Mrs.
Wilkinton or Mrs. Whitney, and we
were all standing back with our
minds comfortably made up and our
mouths watering for the fun that was
to come, when all of sudden Mrs.

Then Mrs. Whitney, who was in
the pink of condition-rosy cheeks:
firm round arms. bright eyes, and all
the other appurtenances to a state of
bounding health, including a syrnpa-

upon. The strength it gives is not a
false strength; it is not the worse
than useless whipping of jaded organs
to action; it is the very brick and
mortar of an edifce. She became
quite eloquent, as she always does On
the subject of Johann Hoff's, and she
left Mrs. Wilkinton quite convinced
that in Johann Hoff's lay her hope for
the future. Wilkinton ordered up a
case of the Extract that night, and
the practice at the links went on for
few days with Mrs. Wilkinton ab-
sent.
"At last the day came when the
championship question was to be de-
cided, and we all drew short breaths
and were vastly excited. Ms.
Whitney was in high feather, smiling
here and there, and rather enjoying

the play begun carriage drove up to
the club house. and Mrs. Wilkinton
with a determined look upon her face,
alighted from it. Come to look on,
of course, whispered Mrs. Whitney
to her husband
But Mrs. Wilkinton had not come
to look on. She had come to play,
and play she did in her old form,
having everything pretty much her
own way, and giving Mrs. Whitney
barely fighting chance for the medal
at any time. 1t was real mean of her,
Mrs. Whitney thought, to act so after
she had been so good to tell her about
