CHAPTER XXI.

When George Wentworthreceived this
message he read it several times over
before its full meaning dawned upon
him. Then he paced up and down his
room and gave way to his feelings. His
best friends, who had been privileged
to hear Georges. vocabulary when he
was rather angry, admitted that the
young man had fuency of expression
which was very much more terse than
proper. When the real significance of
the dispatch became apparent to him,
George outdid himself in this particular
line. Then he realized that. however
consolatory such language is to very
angry man, it does little good in any
practical way: He paced silently up and
down the room, wondering what he
could do, and the more he wondered
the less light he saw through the fog.
He put on his hat and went into the
other room. $ f .$ss

CHAPTER Xxx.

Although the steamship that took
Kenyon to America was one Of the
speediest in the Atlantic service, vet
the voyage was inexpressively dreary
to him. He spent most Of his time
walking up and down the deck think
ing about the other voyage Of a few
months before. The one consolation
of his present trip was its quickness.
When he arrived at his hotel in New
York, he asked if there was any mes
sage there for him, and the clerk hand
ed him an envelope, which he tore open.
1t was a cable dispatch from Went
worth, with the words: "Longworth

bic Mode of Procedure.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-A1though or
ders have not been issued it is general
Nv understood IN military circles that
Brig. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, U. S. ",
and Brig. Gen. Thomas V. Barry nave
been selected for assignment to DUTY
with the military division in China. Thelr
assignment, together with that Of Brig.
Gen James H. Wilson, U. S. v, already
announced, will give Maj. Gen. A. R.
Chaffee, commander in chief, three gen
eral officers of recognized ability to as
sist him in the management of military
operations in China.
Gen. Grant is now on duty with the
troops in the Philippines being stationed
near Manila. Gen. Barry is a passenger
on the transport Sumner, which left San
Francisco on the 18th inst. for Nagasaki.
The orders under which he sailed re-
quired him to report to Gen. Macarthur
at Manila for duty as chief of staff 1t
is proposed however, to change his orders
so as to assign him temporarily, at least,
to duty with troops in China. He IN
doubtedly will receive orders to that eff
feet upon his arrival at Nagasah, and
will continue with the troops on the way
to Taku, China.
Gen. James H Wilson, the senior bri-
gade commander, now at Matanzas, Cuba,
is expected to start on his long journey
Immediately. He will make the trip by
way of New York and San Francisco
and will not arrive on Chinese soil until
about month later than the other bri-
gade commanders.
The transport Grant is expected to ar
rive at Nagasaki early this week, posi-
bly, tomorrow or next day. She left San
Francisco on the 1st inst with Maj Gen.
Chaffee, two troops of the Sixth cav
airy and q battalion of marines. 1t was
originally intended to transship these
troops at Nagasah to other vessels of
the transport service, by which they We're
to be taken direct to Taku, and the
Grant was to have continued to Manila
The urgent need of these reinforcements
in China has necessitated a change in the
plans and the orders have gone forward
for the Grant to proceed direct fran Nag
asald to Taku with the utmost speed,
stopping only long enough to take on
coal.
The officials Of the war department
calculate that Gen. Chaffee and his re-
Inducements will join Lieut.. Col. Cool

before the end of the month. 1t is also

Chief Grain Inspector Reishus, of ST.
Paul. is in the city for a visit with X. P.
Brown. In talking over the Democratic
situation throughout the state Mr. Rel
shus had the following to say:
I'm regard to John Lind. our present
governor, l may say that he is today a
great deal more popular than ever. He
has made good governor, he has been
conservative and careful, and his admin
istration has been one that has proved
satisfactory to every one. In my mind
there will not be the slightest doubt of his
election If he will accept the nomination.
and L believe he will consider 1t his duty
to his party to again run.
Bryan on the national ticket will give
Mckinley a very close rub in Minnesota,
Wisconsin and Michigan, and 1 should
not be surprised if he should carry some
of these states, formerly Republican
strongholds.
Il place a great Geal of dependence on
the German vote of the country. Carl
Schurz, their acknowledged leader, will
support the ticket. This will mean that
the German vote throughout the country
will go for Bryan.
THE prospects just at present are
very bright for Bryan. I expect a hot
fight at the polls this fall"
