resentatives to be very particular in
their language when discussing the
question publicly, and by his saying
in an authorized Interview: II am
not opposed to all expansion; each
proposed annexation must be settled
upon its own merits" 1t is the old,
old Democratic story In every Pres
idential campaign for years, that
party has favored, or pretended to
favor, any old thing that promised
to catch voters, and has not hesitated
to favor thing in one locality and
oppose it in another. Before the
campaign gets fairly started, Demo
cratic speakers and editors are likely
to be declaring that they never op-
posed expansion at all; that tbs only
the bugaboo they have themselves
manufactured and labeled imperial
ISM which they oppose. That sort
OF game isn't lively to fool anybody.
There are Siinperialists in this
country, and are NOT likely to be.
The Naval Board of Construction
has, by vote of to 1, turned down
the recommendation of the Naval Off
GERS who, after witnessing the trials
of the submarine torpedo boat Hol-
land, thought the government ought
to buy the boat. which is now in the
Washington Navy Yard. The reason
given for the action Of the Board was
that this class of boat is still in the
experimental stage, In fact, the gov
ernment is itself experimenting, as it
is having built, by the Columbia Iron
Works, of Baltimore, submarine
torpedo boat.
The House adopted an imortant
amendment to the regular Pension
Appropriation Bill, before passing it.
1t authorizes the Commissioner of
Pensions to Withhold the fee of any
attorney when he has knowledge that
the attorney has not discharged his
full duty to the claimant. 1t is said
to have been the practice of some at
torneys to do nothing toward getting
a case allowed, after they filed it,,
trusting to the claimant getting some
member of Congress to push it
through, knowing that being the at
torney of record in the case, they
could not be kept out of their fee
when it was allowed.

perished and is buried under the
great stone chimney that stood in the
centre of the house. The chimney
fell during the fire.
This house was built soon after the
completion of the turnpike, and was
a noted inn in its day. Many of the
statesmen of the early days OF the
republic stopped there going to and
from Washington. One of the land
lords was Isaac Beall, son of Thomas
Beall of Samuel, known in history as
'.the ancient proprietor of Cumber-
land town. John Yeast, landlord
of the inn, died in 1884. 1t was be-
lieved that he was poisoned by his
wife. Mortimore Cade another keep
err of the inn, died in 1843 from a
fractured skull, caused by runaway
slaves whom he unsuccessfully at
tempted to capture. In later years,
it is said, a murdr was committed
in the h4l,se ,,.I,Le.. .iIl.p aot,in in The

it's windowless, dismantled condition,
during the past few decades, was
grewsome object, and stories that
made people shudder were told about
it. Many ghost tales were related of
it, whence the latter day name,
''Spook House." Very few of the
original inns of the old National pike
now remain.
