An interesting story has just come
to light, says the London Literary
World, of the discovery Of copy Of
the first folio of Shakespeare in an OBJ
scure Yorkshire village, situated in the
heart OF the Bronte country. The dis
covery was made by the village school
master at Oldfeld when verifying the
catalogue compiled for the sale Of the
library OF an old gentleman named
Heaton. The library was sold to ring
OF second hand booksellers, some one

Algerism, Eaganism and Scandal
of Bad Beef.

"Embalmed beef, "Algerism, " "Eagan-

tration to the Beef Trust will not soon be for
gotten. Nothing which occurred during the
war with Spain aroused the public to higher
pitch Of Indignation than the feeding of rot
ten beef to the army in Cuba.
Beef contractors reaped rich haryesIS while
soldiers by the hundreds were going into hos
ptals from eating the meat upon which they
were obliged TO subsist.
Desperate efforts have been made by the
Administration to suppress the truth, but they
have only served to emphasize the rottenness
of the system of the COmmisSary Department
as it was conducted during the war
One hundred thousand dollars were spent
by the Administration on a commission Great

How Administration Aids Armor
Trust.

President Mckinley, through his political
manager. Senator Hanna, indorSed the grab
Of the Armor- Plate Trust, which was agreed
to by Congress Just before adjournment All
session the strongest lobby Washington has
seen for years has been maintained by the
armor- plate interests. The shipbuilding lobby
aud the lobby working for the Shipping Sub,
sidy bill were also instructed to work for
armor- plate, The Democrats attempted to
lower the rate by threat to build Govern
ment armor-plate factory. The House re-
fused TO consider such a proposition and it
was introduced in the Senate. Here it was
fought by the Administration men. When
the bill went into conference there were DAYS
of wrangling, with the Senate steadfast for
cheaper armor or the building of a Govern
ment factory. As adjournment approached
the lobby became more insistent.
After missionary work done by Senator
Hanna and the Republican leaders it was
finally decided to leave to the discretion of
the Secretary of the Navy the price to be paid
for armor Under the new law he is author
ized to purchase armor at ''just ard reason
able price, and to contract for as many
thousand tons as he desires. No limit is
fixed II the Secretary does not believe that
the price asked by the trust is reasonable, be
can use $4,000, O00 which has been placed at
his disposal 10 builda Government factory.
On the night the armor plate section was
adopted the lobby held celebration at Cham
bern's that is still the talk of wine drinking

Pecks Vast Outlay is Yet to Be

result of recent disclosures. For the use of
Ferdinand W. Peek, Commissioner General,
l,4iS, 7s6 was appropriated. The law Great
ing the commission required that a detailed
report be made of all expenditures. The re-
port when submitted gave details of about
800, 900 disbursements. The remainder,
nearly $500, 600, Is yet to be specifically ac,
cOuted for
Government funds have been scattered for
excessive salaries and heavy travelling ex-
peuses The charge has been made that en-
ployees have sold space privileges and re-
allotted space free OF charge. The sums ex-
lracted from exhibitors are said to have ranged
from $3.50 each upward. The number of ex-
hibitors exceed 1000, Some of them have
forwarded complaints to this city.
The Senate by resolution and the State De.
partment by cablegrams have sought to
certain in detail what Commissioner General
Peck did with the Government money. In
his first detailed report he Jumped the salaries
of experts at So 045 and put his travelling ex
peuSes AT s., 72i. The Assistant Commissioner
General received S4, ,079 for travelling expens-
es, more than his salary. The director of ma
chiuery aud electricity drew salary of S3,
COO year and travelling expenses of $3, ,5S7.
The salaries of clerks and other employees
are fixed by Commissioner General Peck.
Of 500, 600 appropriated for Govern,
ment bulldogs but half was expended, ae-
cording to the reports filed, aud nothing is
given to indicate where the remainder was
used.

Brother Abner" and the War Con-
tract Scandal.

Abner Mckinley, brother of the President,
has been responsible for much of the scandal
which has attached to the Administration,
During the Spanish American war he was
said to have been retained by a large number
of the firms and corporations that desired to
profit by the lavish expenditure of Govern
ment funds Tne precise weight OF his IN
huence was never known, but he was popular
ly credited with pulling off all the big
events in which be entered,
During the entire period that his name was
mentioned in connection with the letting of
these contracts he was frequent visitor at
the Executive Mansion.
The scandal by the activity Of Abner Ne.
Kinley finally became SO great that Senator
Hanna called the attention of both brothers
to the INJURY being done 10 the Republican
party Indeed, certain members of the Re
publican National Committee spent much time
and money in gathering evidence regarding
the operations of Abner, with the view of
having il given to newspaper, the intention
being to open the Presidents eyes to the
damage being wrought by his brother. But
when the work of collecting this data was
about completed the war ended and Abner
ceased to be the important factor he was during
the contract letting days. The necessity for
publication thus being obviated, the facts were
suppressed.
