Commissioner.

As an administration in war
and in peace President Mckinley
has not shown himself a strong
man before the American people.
Moreover, by his attitude regard
ing Puerto Rico he has brought
abouta breach in his party which
can hardly be healed before the
meeting of the convention. If his
managers succeed in placating the
dlsgruntled element of the Repub-
llcan party in advance of the CON
ventlon there remains the great
mass of the American people out
side those party lines to be ac-
counted1 for, and to these Mr..
Mckinley stands in the light of a
wavering, vacillating executive
who does not know his own mind,
or who is willing tc surrender his
honest opinions at the demands
of faction.

There were 25 girls working in the
Windsor Collar Co. when, without
moments warning, a terrific explo-
sion occurred, blowing the glass of the
front window clear across Dearborn
street. A sheet OF flame followed in
with their clothing licked by the
flames, crawled through the windows
to the coping running along the
front of the building. The coping
extended eighty feet to the Lichstern
Tailoring Co.'s building, the windows
of which were thronged with men,
calling encouragement to the terrified
girls. AS fast as they reached the
Lichstern windows the girls were

ACCUSED OF MURDER.
Giles Baker, Farmer, Indicted for
the Killing of an Adopted SON
of Andrew jackson.

Nashville, Tenn, July 26.--Giles
Baker, farmer of this section. was
indicted and arrested for the assas-
sination Of w. A. Donelson, an adopt
ed son of the Andrew jackson, aud
a leading citizen of this section, near
the Hermitage late Sunday. Accord
ing to the evidence produced Baker
took up a position in strip of woods
on the road to Donelson's home, and
there laid in wait for his unsuspecting
victim. When Donelson came along
riding horseback the assassin opened
fire with a Winchester rifle, sending
three bullets through his body. Wit
nesses who examined the body swore
that two other shots were fired into
the PROSTATE form after Donelson
had fallen from his horse, making five
in all.
The men had a difficulty some
months ago, when the friends of Don
elsOn advised him to go armed, Baker
having threatened his life.
Donelson was born in Russia while
his father was United States minister
there so years ago. The dead mans
father was Col. Andrew Jackson Don

Dry when the latter was president.

MOB IN NEW ORLEANS.
One Negro Dead, Two Fatally shot
and Twelve Men Seriously
wounded as a Result.

New Orleans, July 26.-One Negro
dead, two fatally shot and IL men Sc
riously wounded is the known result
OF a mOb's desperate work in this city
"Wednesday night. Three of the
wounded are white men who were hit
by stray bullets. Public feeling has
reached its highest tension, and
armed mobs are searching various
parts of the city in an effort to appre-
bend Robert Charles, the Negro who
shot and killed Police Captain Day
and PatrOlman Lamb at an early hour
Tuesday morning.
Many Negroes who were on the
streets or riding in cars were fired
upon, with more or less serious re-
suits.
The body of the dead Negro, who
has not been identified, is in the
mOrgue, and half a dozen badly bat
tered colOred men and women are in
the Charity hospital. Among those
badly wounded is Pullman car por-
ter who had just arrived on his run
from Chicago. He was pulled from a
street car and shot twice. His recov-
cry is doubtful. 1t is generally be-
ieved the desperate, Charles, is in
hiding in the home of some friendly
Negro. The greatest vigilance is be-
ing exercised to apprehend him, and
he Will unquestionably be lynched if
caught.

BoERs GOING NORTHEAST.
Evacuated Their Positions Near
BrOnl<hOrst Spruit - Kruger
Going to Leydenbcrg.

BronlIhorst Spruit, July 26.-The
Beers, having got wind of the British
advance, have evacuated all their po-
sitions and are reported to be NOV
ing northeast, towards Leydenberg,
whittier President Kruger is going. A
portion of the Beers remain north of
Bushveldt, whence they attempt to
interrupt communications on this
line.
The bridges here and smaller
bridges to the west have been de-
stroyed.
The British force comprises two
brigades under Gen. French and a
brigade and a half under Gen. Ham
ilton. 1t is not likely that the ad-
vance upon Middleburg will be con-
tested. The Beers remaining upon
their farms state that most of the
burghers are anxious to bring mat
tiers to a finish, but that the foreign
ers are persistent.
London, July ga dispatch from
Lord Roberts Wednesday indicates
that the British have suffered anoth-
er disaster by losing 200 men of the
Welsh Fusiliers to the Beers. If Rob-
berts refers to the Honingspruit dis
aster, then twice as many men were
captured there than at first reported.
