MORE AMERICAN TROOPS.
Wnrships May BE Drawn Upon to
Reinforce kemnff.

Washington. June IT, Owing to
their natural reluctance to employ
troops save as a last resort and the
Dissemination Of the war department to
supply such troops except under pres
sure. the officials yesterday afternoon
were considering an alternative prop
osition. This contemplated. the putting
out of commission of several of the
big ships attached to Admiral Remey's
fleet, notably the Oregon, and the adj
dition of the
Sailors and Marines
so released to Admiral Kempff's land
Ing force. The big ships carry on an
average more than 300 men apiece.
There is a growing belief that it will
be necessary to organize another ex-
peditionary force at Tlen-tsin to main
tain the communications of Admiral
Seymour's column which will be in
severe need very shortly unless it can
force it's way through to Picking. Sec.
rotary Root was asked whether it had
been finally decided to send any
Troops to China
from the Philippines, and replied that
it had not. To further question as
to whether there was any prospect of
such action, he said he would not UNI
dertake to talk about it. II He was
willing. however, to make the broad,
general assertion that troops would be
sent to Chira in case it was found that
there was greater necessity for them
there thaq in the Philippines. Among
the foreign representatives in Wash
ington the information that the United
States would probably augment lite
with very general satisfaction, particu-
iarly in British and Japanese circles. Ri N

When Rum Was Sold.

Many years ago, when rum and other
spurious liquors were sold as freely in our
country stores as molasses, Messrs. Weed
and Wetherby, who were trading in Apple
ton, hired teamSter living near the village
of McLain's Mills, as the place was called
at that time, to haul barrel of rum from
Rockland, or East Thomaston, as the city,
then small village, was called. On reach
ing Ingraham's Corner, now West Rock
port, on his way home with his load, the
teamster was asked by one of his friends if
he would allow him to remove one of the
hoops near the head of the cask and tap the
barrel. This he consented to do, and five
gallons of the fluid were drawn, the hoop
replaced over the hole and the cask de-
livered in due time to the owners A few
days later Weed and Wetherby were told
Of the trick by a townsman who witnessed
the transaction. When the teamster was
questioned he acknowledged his guilt and
admitted that he had done the same thing
before, ''But never got cotched before

CHARLESTON, w. Va, May 49,
An explosion of gas in the Capitol
building this morning resulted in the
severe injury of H. H. Ballard, clerk
in the Auditors Office, and E. H.
Shanklin, c. A. Keadle and L. E. Jet

The explosion took place in one of
the large vaults OF the Auditors Office.
Mr.. Ballard started to take his three
visitors into the vault to show them
its construction. The room is fire proof
and alright. 1t is usually lighted by
two gas jets. They had been left burn
ing the night previous and it is sup
posed that as soon as they burned up
all the oxygen in the room they went
out.
When. Mr.. Ballard opened the door
the room was full of gas, but not no

the gas jets, when an explosion oc-

The four men were near the doorway
and they were blown out and thrown

They were at once taken to the hos

some time before they will recover.
Their wounds are not considered
dangerous.
The force of the explosion blew the
glass out of the windows of the Aud

WASHINGTON May 1s.-Whila
there is much discussion among Sena-
tors of the status.of Senator Clark. of
Montana, there has not been sufficient
capitalization of sentiment to justify
a conclusion as to what the final re-
suit may be. A meeting of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections has
been called for next Friday TO consider
was course shall be pursued in view
of Senator Clark's resignation. with
reference TO the committee resolution
declaring the seat vacant. The men,
bers of the committee say they are not
now prepared to predict what course
the committee will recommend.
The present purpose is to move the
reference of the Senator's credentials
when they are presented to the SEM
ate, to the elections committee. Tho
indications at present are that this
reference will be opposed by some of
Mr.. Clark's friends. who take the po-
sition that if this disposition is made
Of the credentials it will be for the
purpose of so delaying report as to
prevent action upon the case during
the present sitting of Congress, and
thus practically prevent Mr.. Clark's
resuming his seat at all. as new leg
islature will be convened in Montana
next January, month after the OPEN
ing of the session of Congress.
1t is admitted that the purpose OF
moving the reference OF the creden-
tials will be found in the desire to
investigate the question involved in
the appointment 1t is believed by
some Senators that Governor Smith
will have a presentation OF facts TO
make which It will be necessary TO
consider. The resignation and APP
pointment constituted almost the ex-
elusive topic of conversation among
Senator's to-day. The situation is I'M
paralleled in the Senate.

Iron and Steel Markets Show a Bet
ter Tone-Business Increasing.
PITTSBURG, Pa. May 16.-The
American Manufacturer will say to-
morrow:
The iron and steel markets are begin
ming to recover, and those who went
on record during the Steel & Iron
panic to the effect that four or five
weeks would witness a reaction in favor
of the producers are inclined to call at
tention to their statements. During
the week buyers came back slowly and
inquiries grew from day to day, until
to-day there is a good volume of bust
ness in motion with every indication
of gradual increases, and inquiries are
moving along to the producing sources
freely. This condition will prevail in
all probability until July, or say late
in June.
During the week some life showed
in Bessemer, which is taken as the
advance movement of the business for
the latter half of the year. The as-
gregate of transactions did not exceed
probably one thousand tons, but that
is more than has moved for some
weeks-since the furnace owners an-
nounced that their production for the
first six months had been disposed of.
The iron sold this week was for the
full price, s24.90, Pittsburg delivery.

says POpuliSts Did the Best ThtnE
TO Secure Brynn's Election.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Senator
Butler, chairman of the national COM
mittee of the Peoples party. was ask
ed to-day if it was true, as has been
reported. that both Mr. Bryan and Mr.
Towne had expressed a preference
that the Peoples party national con-
vention should not nominate a vice
presidential candidate.
He replied:
Il have been told that it is true, but
it was the judgment Of the convention
that the best way to elect both of them
was to nominate. 1t must be remem-
bered that neither Mr. Bryan nor Mr.
Towne is intimately acquainted with
the present situation as to the Populist
vote OF the convention. Mr. Bryan
could not be elected by disbanding or
appearing to disband the organization
of the Peoples party. To have dozen
so would have lost him ten Populist
votes for every gold Democratic vote
that he would have won back to him.
In short, the convention did the thing
that was necessary to be done TO in
sure the election of Mr.. Bryan.

WASHINGTON, May 16.-Discus-
sion of the administration of affairs
in Cuba by agents of the United States
occupied the attention of the Senate
during the greater part of to-days
session. Mr.. Bacon (Ga) addressed
the Senate at length on his resolution,
directing the committee on relations
with Cuba to make an investigation of
the conduct of financial affairs of the
island. He said it was due the peo-
pie of this country to know just how
affairs in the island We're being con-
Quoted; and since the disclosures of
the past few days had been made with
respect to the alleged misappropria-
ton of funds in the postal service, the
obligation upon Congress to make an
investigation was doubly Heavy He
urged that the honor of the country
depended on its being able to clear
away the fraud and corruption which
it was charged had been discovered.
He insisted that the government of
the United States had no authority in
Cuba and demanded to know how soon
it proposed to redeem its pledge and
leave the government of the island to
its inhabitants
