MESSAGE FROM SKATER
TELEGRAM TO GOV. MOUNT IN REF
ERENCE TO LAWTON's BODY.
May Pass Through the City After All
Matter VIII Probably he
Decided To-Day.

In addition to the several kilograms sent
to the secretary of war. the Governor has
telegraphed General Shafter at San Fran
cisco. appealing to him to route the party
accompanying General Lawtons remains
so that Fort Wayne and Indianapolis may
be included i'm the schedule. Governor
Mounts telegram to General Shafter is as
follows:
'.Inasmuch as General Lawton was an
Indiana man, the people OF this State are
exceedingly anxious that they may be per-
mitted to do honor to the great soldier. I
am advised by War Department officials
that the route from San Francisco to
Washington will be via Chicago, but that
the arrangements will be left TO your judy
ment and decision L therefore appeal TO
you in behalf of the people of Indiana TO
so arrange the route for the Lawton party
that the remains be permitted to lie in
state at Fort Wayne CHS old home) for a
limited period. and also at the state capitol
in Indianapolis for short time. This ar
rangement can be made with but slight
deviation from the direct route and with
comparatively little loss of time. i there
fore appeal to you for your favorable con-
sideration and sincerely hope you will grant
to the people of Indiana the privilege OF
doing honor TO a soldier who courageously
met death at battles front. / will be
obliged TO you for an early response"
The following reply received from Gen.
Smarter by the Governor late last night In
dicates that there is some hope that In
dianians may be permitted to have a last
look at their dead hero:
1.-THE route that has been decided upon
between Chicago and Washington is by
the b. e. o. Railroad. The situation is
somewhat complicated. as the body of Maj.
Logan is in the same that of Gen.
Lawton, and is expected to continue with
IL TO Youngstown, o., where IL will be taken
for interment. will take the matter up to-
morrow and IL possible will comply with
the wishes of yourself and people of In
diana. The question of time is of no i'm
portance except to the railroad people. who
will be put to additional expense by reason
of the delay, and / not certain they
would consent to IL. Will advise you further
Tomorrow"

And all had read the signs aloud

But that my purse is far too light.

W. A. Ketcham, counsel for plaintiff in
the case Of the State against the Vandalia
Railroad, made the closing argument yes
terday before Special Master Butler. Mr..
Ketcham argued specially on the charter
given the company, contending that the
road had the right to increase its capital
stock for the purpose of selling such stock
and expending the proceeds in improve
ment and construction OF the road. He
said the charter was the controlling factor
in a determination as TO the rights of the
litigants. and for that reason gave his
special attention to It.

AS a question OF constitutional law and

that Congressman Roberts should be ad-

then expelled rather than be denied ad-

assuming that his offense is one that
should debar him from Congress. it would

DE VET.

There was JOY in English hearts when
it was announced the other day that
the energetic and elusive Boer General
De Wet was caught between the Orange
and Caladon rivers in such a way that
he couldn't escape, and the announce
ment that he was caught has been
eagerly awaited. But no such an
nouncement has come, and the latest
story was that De Wet was again elud-
ing his opponent.
If De Wet does get away, even tempo
rarily, he will do large deed, but there
is no hope for him in the end, even If
his wife does say and believe that
the English will never catch him. 1t
may be noble to die for lost cause,
but sometimes it doesn't seem very SEN
