MAY BE STORY OF THE MAINR
Spanish Cipher Cablegram F0una
by an American Soldier
In Manila.

''Dlue tape" is the expression whick
might properly be applied to Spanish
official circumlocution. C. Leland, =
young man from Bismarck, N. D., came
to Chicago few days ago to join Q
regiment which he had heard was be-
ing recruited there for service IN
the Boer army. BE carried q lit
tie bundle of blue paper which might
reveal the secret of the Maine explo-
sion in Havana harbor If the writing
on it could be read. It purports to be
a dispatch in cipher from Spanish of
fetal in Havana to Gov. Gen. August
at Manila. It is dated February Ia,
1898, and written in Spanish cipher
code on a narrow ribbon of light blus
paper, about 100 feet1ong. The paper
is wound in circular coil and makes
q bunch six inches in diameter. There
is nothing on the paper to establish ito
genuiheness, says the Inter Ocean.
Young LELAND got it from Charles
Jackson, soldier in South Dakota
regiment that served In the Philip
pines. When the American army took
possession at Manila this paper. with
a great many other official documents.
t is said, was found in q safe in the
governor generals Office. Gen. Otis or
dered them all burned, but Jackson res
cued the cipher cablegram from tho
pile as a souvenir. He was killed soon
afterward, but previous to that ha1

SOCIETY AT WASHINGTON.
Says Social Atmosphere There
II sweet and Wh0lesonse.

DIR. F. NJ Bristol President NcKln-
aey's pastor, contributes to the New
York World Q paper On 'Degeneracy
of American Society,"" in which he
says: 81 protest against the appliea-
tion of the term 'society' to that little
set Of fools who contribute nothing
munity. True society of America, com
posed of the brains and virtue Of her
typical men and women, to be found In
Washington, New York, Baltimore,
Boston. Philadelphia, Chicago and In
every city and town and village Of this
country, is worthy of all honor and re-
spect. Husbands never had more vi--
tuous wives nor wives truer husbands
sons never had sweeter, purer mothers,
nor mothers nobler, cleaner soma:
brothers never had more chaste, intelli-
gent sisters, nor sisters more heroic,
chivalrous, high-minded brothers than
they have to-day and in our own Amer
lea.
II am bound to say that the highest
standard of American society may be
found at thenationalcapital. The social
atmosphere Of Washington Is sweet
and wholesome. It was never more 90.
No social scandals tarnish the purity
of our official or congressional Ifs.
Finer specimens of moral, intellectual
and patriotic womanhood cannot be
found in this country or in the world
than are to be met at the social func-
sions of the beautiful capital, where
the best traditions of republican purity
and democratic simplicity are pre-
served and exemplified in the domestic
virtue. affection and happiness Of tho
first home of the land.
Surely the American people may
Justly felicitate themselves ON the high
and unsullied record Of that first home
OF the land from the glorious day OF
Martha Washington to the good and
happy day of Ida Mckinley"

Mr.. BYNUM's DEFEAT.-There is

ton Of the Democrats and Repub-
Iicans al the Senate who sue
ceeded, by tie vote, in defeating
the confirmation Of the nomination
OF William II. BYnum, Of Indiana,
as a general appraiser OF customs.
The law, as stated by Senator
Chandler, requires the appoint
ment oi a Democrat Ia member Of
the minority party) for this ap-
praisership, and Mr.. BYnum pub
licly declared before receiving the
appointment that he had become a
Republican. Whether Mr.. Bynum
would have received this proof OF
the Administrations favor had he
remained a sound money Demo-
crat is another matter, but as
Republican he was not entitled to
this particular office, and his nom
ination and the attempt to confirm
him were clearly in violation Of the
law. Some other way must now
be found for rewarding this new
Republican recruit.

to have it incorporated in the pure

ment. 1t is then to be presented
to Congress.
The report that a discrimination
was being made between the eX-
ports Of beer to Porto Rico and
Cuba in favor OF the latter occu-
pied considerable time in discus
sion. The convention protested
against the double lax on Porto
Rico exports and asked that the
rule of tariff charges be made uni
form in regard to all outlying pos
sessions of the United States.
There was some debate over the
tax imposed by Congress on the
trade, but no action was taken be
yond that of instructlng The COM
mittee to use their best efforts to
have the stamp taxes reduced.
A letter was received from
Susan B. Anthony offering to fur
nish an orator to address the con-
vention on the temperance issue,
but the tender was politely de-
| clined with the reply that no polit'
ical issue could be introduced in
the conve ntion.

Senator Hanna's wrath.

Senator Hanna forgot Daniel
Webster's description of the cham
Der in which he sits as "a Senate
of equals" when he made his vitu-
perative attack upon Senator Pet
tigrew the other day, He also for
got that to denounce an accuser
is not to disproVe an accusation.
Mr.. Pettigrew made very
plain and a very serious charge,
and named his authority for max
ing it. He alleged that the Cramps
contributed $500, 900 to the Re-
publican campaign fund of 1899 on
the promise OF favors to be be-
slowed in the event OF Mr.. Harri-
sons reelection. He named Mr..
CTamp himself as the man who
had so informed him in a personal
conversation that was not conf
Dental. He stated further, as con-
irming the charge, that Senator
Carter, oil Montana, to whom he
had repeated Mr.. Cramps state
m mt, had said to him, "Well, we
did hit the old man pretty hard
that year"
Mr.. Hanna offered a general de
nial Of the story, couched in such
terms oi insult to the South Da-
kota Senator as were entirely out
side the limits.of decorous debate.
He called Mr.. Pettigrew a traitor,
and declared that all who voted
against him in Ohio were "scoun-
drels and traitors" He appears
to have been beside himself with
almost inarIiculate anger.
TO rage is one thing, to reply is
quite another. The impression
Mr.. Hanna's painful exhibition OF
bad temper and worse manners
will certainly make upon the pub
lie mind is that the alleged Cramp
contribution to the Republican
campaign fund of I89a is subject
on which the light OF publicity
might be poured with instructive
and wholesome results.

story OF army life in the far Northwest,
its scenes being laid in and around Post

it are United States army officers, their
sweethearts and wives, together with
soldiers, scouts, Indians, &c. The story
as evolved by Messrs. Belasco and
Fyles has been repeatedly pronounced

which must Of necessity dominate all
successful dramas has not been slighted.
Mr.. William Morris, who was Mr..

several years, and who created the role

in "The Girl Left Behind Me" " will be

The Repu ubIioAns and the Brewers.
The New York Wine md SPVlt
GaSette says:
The brewers have threatened that II
the party in power failed TO reduce the
beer war tax, they could not be expected
to exert themselves greatly in support
of that party next fall.
The Republicans, OF course nave
heard OF these threats and devised
plan by which they mean to outtank the
brewers. They have adopted resolution
in Congress directing the Committee on
WAYS aud Means to sit during the recess
Of Congress to consider the revision OF
the War Revenue Law. The adoption
OF this resolution enables the Republi-
cans to put the screws on the brewers
The revolution virtually tells them:
1--WE, the Republicans ot Congress,
are framing a tax reduction measure.
We will put the final touches on It
between election day, in November. and
the first Monday in D cember, when
Congress will meet. If you do not be-
have yourselves and carry out your
threat and lose interest IN the Republican
party you cannot expect Republican
legislators to take much interest in
reducing the particular taxes which YOU
pay"
The fine Milesian hand Mark Hanna
is plainly discernible in this resolution
ofCongress. Hanna will be McKinley's
campaign manager and will doubtless
use the power which the situation gives
him to whip the brewers into line for the
Republican ticket and induce them to
contribute to the Republican campaign
fund.
It is, however, safe to say that, il any
| revision is ma ie, the proprietary war
tax will undoubtedly be wholly repealed
and many Of the documentary stamp
taxes will also be wiped out.
There is no doubt that the po T.
ponement Of the beer tax question
had in view some such intention,
Brewers, however, have had their
eyes opened during the session jIst
closed. They have seen Republi-
can promises broken; they have
seen the surplus pile up in the
Treasury at their expense without
a Republican hand being raised to
help them. They have seen every
effort in their behalf come from the
Democrats and every obstacle tc
Democratic attempts to aid them

They have seen the object ioi
which the tax was levied com.
pletely attained; Cuba is free from

mains; and were the Filipinos

party for he perPetuation Of this
burdensome measure. No relie

source. ANY and every doll r
therefore, given by a brewer to aic
Republican success, any effort put
forth by the brewers to continue
that party in power. will but
tighten the chains upon their own
necks. From the Democratic party
alone will come relief. For Dem.
ocratic success, therefore, all
should work. This is a business
not a political, question.

to this banquet, they might show
to the brewers who were their real
friends and who was responsible
for the non-reduction OF the tax IN
this session, and in this manner
possibly ALLEVIATE the affections OF
the brewers from the Republican
partV
Washington sentinel., 1900-06-09
Mr.. Rudolph Brand

in his speech at the United States
Brewers Convention the other
dsy, said: "MY own official ex-
Perience and close personal obser-
vations have convinced me thas
mere appeals tor common justice,
no matter how imperative, strong
and convincing they may be, will
not remove the oppressive tax
burdens under which our industry
is staggering toward its ruin"
II Mr.. Brand had added, "Since
all our troubles have emanated
from legislation in Congress, the
most efectual way to secure relief
would be to elect such men to Con-
gress as will be on our side, and
not against US, be would have
given the brewers good advice.
If Mr.. Brand had done this the
brewers would have been able to
declare their attitude in the great
approaching political fight, and
thus help TO cure the evil and save
themselves from destruction. AS
it stands now, the United States
Brewers Association, with the ex
ception OF hay ling called public
attention to the injustice and hard
ship which this tax has brought
about, did absolutely nothing at
this convention.
If Mr.. Brand had followed the
SENTINEL's advice and taken a
firm stand, he would have solved
the difficulty at once. If he had
told them that it was the Republi-
can party which gave them the tax,
and keeps it up, and that every Re-
publican Congressman voted for
the tax and every Democrat
against il; that, furthermore, they
will never get rid OF the tax as long
as the Republican party, with its
war policy, remains IN power; and
that, therefore, it is the duty Of
every brewer to vote for the Dem
ocratic party which has time and
again proven itselftheir best friend;
II Mr.. Brand had spoken thus he
would have proven himself the
friend Of the brewers, and the two
dollar tax would have been abol-
ished as soon as the next President
came in power.
Unfortunately the brewers,
under the guidance OF their Re-
publican manager, Mr.. Gallus
Thomann, to whom in part the
brewers are indebted Tor the two
dollar tax, Influenced Mr.. Brand
against making anv such declara-
ton and also to keep the organiz-
alton absolutely in the fold Of the
Republican party. For this reason
the Democratic leaders in Con.
gress, Notwithstanding that they
had all submitted strong resolu-
tions and delivered speeches ad-
vocating the reduction ot the tax,
were not even invited to attend the
blnquet which usually concludes
these annual gatherings, as was to
be expected, the more so when, on
the other hand, several Republi-
can Congressman did receive invi-
tations. Evidently Mr.. Thomann
was afraid that If he invited any
Democrats of national reputation
