Washburn, Wis, Dec. II, 700.

IT is positively stated that Senat-
or Spooner has been offered the
position of Attorney General OF the
United States in President McKin-
ley's Cabinet, to fill the vacancy
which it is expected will occur at
at the beginning of the new term.
Mr.. Spooner's views upon the &C
ceptance of the position are not
known, but there seems to be a
very strong reason to believe that
Mr.. Spooner will remain just where
he is until his term as senator shall
expire, and there is just as strong
reason TO believe that if he wants
another term in the United States
Senate, that he will be reelected
without any effort on his part.
There has been great deal OF
speculation as to what occasloned
Senator Spooner to make his public
announcement few months ago to
the effect that he would retire from
the senate upon the completion of
the term he is now serving, and a
few have even gone so far as to
question his sincerity. 70 US the
Senator's course is far from clear,
but we believe, and we think, too,
that that belief is shared by the vast
majority of republicans throughout
the state, that if the senator can be
induced to accept another term in
the United States Senate, that there
would be great satisfaction through
out the state, and that he would be
unanimously returned. Wisconsin
will look long time before it finds
in the ranks of the republican party,
or any other party, another man,
equal to John G. Spooner.

SUGGESTED by GEN. MILES.
Propositions to Simplify Uniform OF
ArmX Officers.

Lieutenant General Miles Is seriously con-
s1dering several propositions for changes
IN the uniform of officers Of the army, hav-
ing mainly In view economy and adaptable
fty Most of the changes are suggested by
the requirements of duty on foreign sta
tions One which will meet with the hearth
est approval throughout the army is the
contemplated abandonment Of the dress he'll
net. which gains deserved unpopularity on
account of its weight and general insult
ableness as head gear. 1t is proposed to
substitute therefor a cap after the fashion
or foreign services where the considera-
tions OF dress are fully met by such an
article.
Another change proposed is in the shoul-
DER Knot, which is now a bulky affair, in
ter1erlng with the wearing of an over-gar-
ment 1t is proposed also to simplify the full
dress uniform so as to have the same coat
serve for full dress and undress. The dis
Junction between the two uniforms will be
made by the addition of decorations in full
dress.
These are all practical changes. They
may not be adopted at once for the service.
II Is possible that the officers comprising
Lieutenant General Miles staff, whose uni
forms may be specified by the commanding
general, will adopt the new styles, thus af-
rording other officers an opportunity to
study the effect and results. Lieutenant
General Miles has made but few changes in
ms own uniform due to his advancement

lions and has adopted Russian army cap

INSPECTOR HAMLET'S CASE.
He VIII Probably BE Given Time Il
Furnish Evidence.

A number of the friends of Post Office
Inspector George B. Hamlet called at the
office of the fourth assistant postmaster
general today to request that time be given
Mr.. Hamlet to present some proof in re-
gard to the charge that has been made
against him of allowing, the contractor who
was building a house for him at Landoyer,
Md, to use his post Office railroad pass.
1t is understood that the fact has been
established that Mr.. Hamlets railroad pass
was used but it is quite likely that he will
be given opportunity to submit such
evidence bearing on the case as he desires
While the offense that Mr.. Hamlet is
charged with may seem trifling in itself it
is regarded as a very grave one by the
Post Office Department, as a general mis-
use of passes by post office inspectors
would make serious abuse The depart
ment in its contracts with railroads pro-
videS that the latter shall furnish such
transportation as inspectors may need, and
of course, were this transportation trans
ferable the abuse would be very extensive
in a short time.

TWO PER CENT BONDS.
The Treasury Department Will Begin
Sending Them Out Today.

The Treasury Department is preparing to
send out the new per cent bonds that are
to take the place of old issues provided
for in the refunding act of the last session
Of Congress. About sl00OO0,O10 of the new
bonds have been printed and many of them
will go out today. The treasury will be busy
all through August sending out the bonds
About $321. 1.ooo,0O0 Of old issues of bonds
have been surrendered to the treasury in
exchange for the per cents. This is much
less than half of those authorized to be
refunded The total amount available for
exchange was about $40. 100000 1t is es-
tfmated by treasury officials that at least
half this amount will finally be surrendered.
Most of the new bonds will go into the
treasury vaults as securities furnished by
national banks.

candidates for the place are being talked
of. George w. Beavers of New York, chief

within the department.
1t is understood that there is very large
amount of pressure for the place outside

There is no information obtainable at the
State Department as to whether the alleea-
tion that the assassination Of King Hum

country calls for inquiry or action of any
sort by this government Secretary Hay
said today that he had no Information
whatever on the subject and therefore could
say nothing.
1t was said in other quarters that Italy
would probably not communicate to this
government the reports duplicating anar-

charges were made in an official way what

tradition charged with murder, but tries the

that would naturally attend proving the
connection between the assassin and the
alleged anarchists in this country, together
with the uncertainty of extradition will
probably incline the Italian government to
zeal with the actual assassin alone and
ignore any alleged connection between his
