Crawford Won't Tell War Depart
msnt His Reasons.

A Washington dispatch of Nov.
27 to the New York Sun says:
"Ths decisisn not to appoint
William P. Crawford, Of Chester,
S, c., to lisutsns,sy in the army
because he broke his engagement
to Miss Rebscca Douglas Of that
place, has been held in absyance
by Secretary Root until he can
secure further Information as to
the young mans conduct. There
is new point to be settled and
the final Outcome of the interesting
controversy depends upon the
contents of a letter, which are az
yet = secret.
"The secretary Of war decided,
after it had practically hssn de-
tsrminsd not to appoint Crawford
t. give hin an opportunity to
explain his action and granted him
u hearing for that purpose. Tho
young candidate for military
honors came to Warrington and
made a personal statement to
Secretary Root. His frsnkns.s
impressed the secretary very
much.
"Hs admitted breaking an en-
gagsmeat to marry Miss Douglass
acknowledged that up to two or
three days before breaking it he
made her no suggestion that he did
not intend to marry her, but he
declared that hs had good reason
for not fulfilling his promise.
Secretary Rost asked him for
his reason. This young Crawford
declined to give. He explained
that he had written to Miss Doug
lass's mother, stating his reasons,
and that he considered the, wsr.
confidential with her. He had no
objection vhstsver to her stating
them to the war department or
the president, but hs declined to
do so. In this Secretary Root ag-
reed with Mr.. Crawford.
g3"Accordingly he suggested to;
the friends of Miss Douglass, who
had objected to Crawfnrd's ap
pointment, that they secure from
Hrs. Douglass = copy of tho
young mans letter of explanation
His rsason for this was that hs
desired to base his action upon
the reasons advanced aud to do
tsrmine himself whether there
was sufficient grounds for Craw-
ferd's action,
"In his opinion, the reasons
may have shown that Crawford
either was justified or acted dis
gracefully. 1t has now boon several
weeks since this desire of Secrs-
tary Roofs was conveyed to the
friends of Miss Douglas. Up to
this time they have not produced
Crswford's letler to Mrs. Doug
lass.
"It is now said that the sscrs
tary of war will wait . reasonable
ume for the ssnxtors and con-
gressmsn who have opposed
Crswford's appsintment to pro-
ducs this letter, and If it is not
done he will take it for granted
that CrawfOrd's reas )ns were suf-
fcisnt to justify his breaking his
engagement

EDITOR SUNDAY GLOBE:
A few days ago, while eating break
fast at a boarding house nearly oppo
site No 613, which is Mickey Lewis's
kingdom, another boarder called my
attention to a crowd i'm front of that
place, and remarked, Those are Mick.
ey's pets; I'm fact, they were occupying
the sidewalk to that extent that peo-
pie passing were crowded nearly off
the walk, most of them smoking and
talking at a horserace gait. As near
as we could make out, the language
was a cross between a flannel mouth
and a coyote. Soon the clock tipped
8 and they started for the door, each
one trying to get the last Whit from
his cigarette or dudeen. so that when
they went into the door it resembled
miniature Hoosac Tunnel, with a
hog train entering it. Several remark
ed that was not an exception, but the
rule, and had been for a long time.
An old Department employe ven
tured the statement that one of Nick
eys prominent pets was an avowed an
archist, except when there was a pro
motion I'm sight, then he managed to
get within the Republican fold long
enough to either himself or have some
of his relatives (of which there are a
