MEETING Of THE Cabinet.

fuI-Gsnera1 Otis to be Changed.

Washington, Sept. 5.-The cabinet to-
day was in session for more than hours
and a variety OF matters, which have ac-
cumulated during the presidents absence,
were discussed. 1t was Secretary Roots
first attendance. The other members
present were Hay, Gage, Hitchcock and
Wilson.
President Schurman of the Philippine
commission was also present by invitation
and made a comprehensive statement of
the situation in the islands. 1t is under
stood that he will soon make a statement
to the press which will cover his obser-
walton in the islands, and later he will
make formal report to the president
covering the subject in detail.
1T is understood that Schurman takes a
hopeful view of the situation in the Phil
ippines and has no doubt that with our
increased forces we will be able to make
comparatively very short work of Aguin-
aldo and the insurgents. Although the
work of the anti-imperialist league has
had no considerable influence among the
soldiers in our army, Schurman said it
certainly had given great encouragement
to Aguinaldo and his followers.
The subject of relieving Otis from part
OF his duties as head of both the civil gov
eminent and the military forces was not
mentioned at the meeting, although there
is a growing impression that he may be
put at the head of the civil government
and relieved of responsibility of military
onarationc

A combination among zinc mine opera
tors at Joplin, Mo-, to demand SAG per ton
for ore carrying 90 per cent metal, is to
be fought by refneries. Representatives
of several large concerns are now in Col
orado contracting for ore. f. w. Hum
phreys, of Uplands, Ind, owner of large
refinery, and j. r. Grove, of Weir City,
Kan, have engaged the services of an ex-
pert, and are examining several Colorado
properties, said to yield a good percent
age of zinc ore. Mr.. Humphreys has al
ready obtained three large properties, and
has over 100 men at work. A deal is
probably to go through for dozen silver
mines in the state that can supply ore car
rying 40 per cent of zic.

money she had paid me and
seemed to be afraid Of what her
brothers would think if it was not

Sampson said, this is a bad bust
ness. I said. yes, but I have moth
ing to reproach myself with; I did
my whole duty as a physician.
But if an examination is made, l
must protect myself. I did not
at any time make use Of the ex-
preston NUNS the word" or say
that they could examine her if they
wanted to-.
DR.. Wheeler testified that the
case had been property treated if
it was as represented by DR..
Belyea-the only criticism that he
had to make was that once the
operation was begun it should
have been finished.
Mrs. DR.. e. HI. Belyea testified
as to Julia's condition and the
treatment she received at hel
hands. Her testimony corrobor-
ated that Of her husband.
Dr.. J. H. Belyea's testimony
was much similar to his brothers
and he was the best witness the
defense has yet placed upon the
stand.

ended and at the beginning of the
afternoon session States Attorney
McClory summed up the evidence
for the state, reviewing the testi
mony in detail. After a short re

picture he drew Of Sampson wa
not too highly colored, and hi
scathing arraignment Of this in

apparently undisturbed. MI
Cochrane laid considerable stres
on the fact Of Sampson taking tn

after leaving there, inferring tina
Sampson at that time began tn

ington are many relics of the patriot,
including continental uniform worn
by him, and some of his household
furniture. Mt. Vernon abounds in
souvenirs.
FARMING OPERATIONS.
Washington inherited Mount Vernon
in 1859 from his half-brothef, Law
renee Washington, who died in 1857.
This brother had a daughter, Sarah,
who was heiress to the estate, but she
died two years later and the property
then reverted to George, who was then
Just 27 years old. The estate then
comprised less than 5000 acres, but
soon after he came into possession he
added $500 acres by purchase, WhicA
gave him ten miles Of river FROM.
Then began the system of improve
ments and cultivation which subse-
uuently made Mount Vernon the most
valuable landed property in Virginia.
He drained the land wherever needed,
he rotated crops, got the best farm i'm
plements then in existence, built ana
repaired fences, had his grist mill, his
y
repairing tools, his own carpenter
shop, looms, and he built scores Of
houses and cabins for his slaves. His
five farms ranged from 1000 to 1000
acres each, and each farm had it's over
seer and it's allotment of negroes and
stock.
HIS GREATEST GLORY.
The transcendent glory of Washing
ton as a soldier is that when the war
was ended he surrendered his victo-
rious and stainless sword to the civil
authority. For eight long years he had
carried that great trust without salary
or pencuniary compensation of any
kind, never but once seeing his be-
loved Mt. Vernon. A plant army,
smarting under grievances, would have
made him king or dictator. He
crushed the very suggestion with in
dignant rebuke. Cromwell and Ma
pOleOn, after successful revolutions,
had held on to power. There is hard
ly another case in history where, I'M
der like circumstances, power has been
voluntarily surrendered. Washington
set for all successful generals, in all
ages after him, a noble and immortal
example, when he sought out that
weak and migratory congress at An
napolis and in such dignified and man
ly words as these closed his impressive
speech of resignation:
Having now finished the work as
signed me, retire from the great the
alter of action, and bidding an affec-
Tomato farewell to this august body,
under whose orders have so long act
ed, here offer my commission and
take my leave of all the employments
of public life"
