PLACED UNDER ARREST.

Warrant Served on Postmaster Thompson
of Havana.
HAVANA, May 18.-Warrants were
issued during the day for the arrest of
E. P. Thompson, the Havana postmas-
ter; w. H. Reeves, deputy auditor of
the island, and Edward Moya and
Judge Mascara, Cuban clerks in the
stamp department, and by 7 o'clock all
were lodged in the Vivao, the Tombs of
Havana. This was done under the ad-
vice of the postoffce inspectors, who
arrived during the day. 1t is consid-
cred now that Reeves is equally guilty
with Nicely. ~~,,--~>s=
Investigation as to the record of q
clerk in the military department. who
handled several hundred dollars worth
of stamps proves that the transaction,
SO far as he was concerned, was legiti-
mate. The stamps were purchased at
the request Of his brother, who is
stamp collector in the United States,
for $500. They were of the old issue
and were obtained from Nicely.
The arrest Of Thompson caused great
surprise in the city. It is looked upon
as the precursor of many other arrests.
General Wood felt, as did the special
inspectors, that it would be better to
have the suspected persons arrested and
to give them an opportunity to obtain
bail than to keep them indefinitely un-
der close surveillance at time when
the detectives are really needed for
other work

Caused Surprise at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 18.-The confess
sion of Postmaster Thompson at Ha-
vana came as complete surprise to the
officials of the postofice department.,
who had generally been of the opinion
that among those who could not pos
sibly be involved in fraudulent transac-
tions was Mr.. Thompson, who was re-
garded as man of high integrity. The
postmaster general read the printed
statement, but made no comment.

in the books and accounts, with tie
manifest intention of shielding Nicely.
Thompson says that though he or
dered the alteration of certain figures
at the request of Rich, he did so with
out knowing that they were of Grim
inal nature. He thinks he might have
been treated with more consideration
either dismissed or requested to resign.
Thompson's bail has been fixed at
$4,000 cash, which is not yet forth

NATIONAL LEAGUE STAMPING.
M'KINLEY TO SPEAK.
President to Make a Few Porch
Speeches at Canton.

Washington, Sept. 26--President Nc
Kinley will probably make a few
speeches at Canton during the last two
weeks of the campaign. Before leaving
Washington the president discussed this
matter with his advisers here, and the
dent would find it advisable to deliver a
few addresses later in the campaign. If
he does he will do 1t at home, speaking
from his porch to visiting delegations
The president will not make a cam
paign tour. He will not speak in Chi
cago or anywhere, save at his home. In
the presidents opinion a stamping tour
of any sort would not be consistent with
the dignity of his office.
Until recently the president has de-
clared he would not speak even at Can
ton, but he now recognizes the fact that
in this presidential campaign it is his
administration that is on trial before
the people. Already he has been grossly
rnisrepresented, and other miSrepresenta-
lions are sure to follow as the canvass
becomes more and more heated. State
nents will be uttered and charges made
which no one but the president himself
could effectual1y answer.
If this proves to be the case the presi-
dent will reluctantly abandon his policy
of silence and give a few delegations
permission to visit him at his Canton
home with an understanding that he is
to speak to them, and over their heads
to the country. Mr.. Mckinley feels that
if he is unjustly assailed this much of
opportunity for self-defense he is fairly
entitled TO

HIS BOY WAS KILLED.
Baldwin Mans Prophetic Dream in
Connection With Flood Accident.

Baldwin. Sept. 25.-Jack Gossage, an
old soldier of this place, has returned
from Galveston, Tex, where he went to
see what he could find out about his
son Joe, who was a soldier and was
located at that place.
Mr.. Gossage found out very little
about his boy, only that he was crushed
while helping two comrades out of the
hospital. The building fell and that was
the last the captain saw of him. He
found the colored wash woman that did
Joe's washing, and she had barely es-
capped after being in the water nine
hours
She said: Eyes, sab, All knows that
boy and All wanted to see him and
hated to see him, too, as all his clothes
was washed away"
Mr.. Gossage awoke the night of the
storm dreaming that Joe was calling
him, and got up and went out doors to
see where he was. He finally went
back to bed and thought no more of
his dream until he read of the storm in
the papers. He says his dream and the
time the building was destroyed were
about the same time.

KANSAS NEWS.
Webster Davis and j. r.. Bur-
ton Speak at Wichita.
Each Orator Draws Large Au-
dience and Cheers.
NOT A JOINT DEBATE.
Arrangements Could Not Be
Made Satisfactorily to Both.
Missourian at Opera House, Kan
san at the Auditorium.

Wichita, Sept. 26.-Webster Davis and
]. R. Burton spoke in this city last
night but not from the same platform.
Davis held out at the opera house and
Burton at the Auditorium Attempts
had been made by both political parties
to arrange for joint debate but owing
to the fact that Mr.. Davis had to catch
a train at 10 o'clock for Burlington the
above arrangements were made rather
than joint argument at the Audi
torium.
The meeting of Davis was large and
enthusiastic. The crowd at times would
simply go wild, and men would stand
on the seats and cheer and wave their
hats. The people were carried away by
Mr.. Davis eloquent speech and his des-
cription Of the heart rending condition in
South Africa At times he was unable
to proceed for several minutes on ac-
count of the cheering.
The train which Mr.. Davis arrived on
from Marion was late and he did not
begin speaking until quite late. He was
able to make but a short address in
order to catch the train from Rurling-
ton, where he will speak this afternoon.
Mr. Davis stated that he regretted very
much that arrangements could not have
been made so that he and Mr. Burton
could have divided time and discussed
the issues of the day. He read kilograms
sent by him to the state and national
committees expressing his willingness
and anxiety to meet Mr.. Burton.
In opening his meeting, which was
large, Mr.. Burton said:
Il came here to debate with Mr.. Davis.
He is not here Just why, I do not
know The local Democratic committee
or Mr.. Davis decided otherwise
Mr.. Burton told the audience few of
the questions he had intended to ask Mr.
Davis if they met in debate. The first
was:
what has Bryan or the Democratic
party ever done against trusts? Why
when he was in Democratic congress? ''
Another was:
rs Davis in favor of 16 to 1, which
he declared he was opposed to in a
speech three months ago?'
Again:
us Davis in favor of expansion and
the retention of the Philippines, and, if
not, when did he change his mind?''
Burton then read extracts from a
speech delivered by Davis in May '99,
in which he declared that the Spanish
right; that this country should not give
up the fruits of victory; our only course
is to fight it through; to surrender the
Philippine islands would be to smirch
the victory of Dewey and to cast a cloud
on the heroic work of our soldier boys
who have fought and died for our coun-
try's honor; to surrender the islands
would be an insult to every old soldier
of the north and south and would be a
disgrace to civilization; the object of the
F'ilipinos was to plumber and murder;
that much bloodshed in the Philippines
was due to the ercourag cement given to
rebels by traitors in this country.
