WASHINGTON LETTER.

ESPECIAL CORRESPONDENCE OF TEE MONITOR
Wdsbin gtOn, D. c., Dec. 3lst, 1900.
President Mckinley has been assur
ed by Senator Hawley, chairman of
the senate committee on military
affairs, that there would be no delay
in putting the substitute for the house
army reorganization bill, prepared by
his committee, through the senate as
soon as congress reassembles. Soma
tor Hawley also expressed the opinion
that an agreement would be speedily
reached with the house when the bill
was sent to conference. The latter
opinion is fully shared by Chairman
Hull of the house military committee,
who made careful personal canvass
of the senate before the recess. Sec
reta ry Root is naturally prejudiced in
favor Of some sections of the house
bill, which was prepared by him or
under his direction, but he says he
will not stand in the way Of legisla-
ton that is SO urgently needed by op-
posing the substitute Or in any way
raising obstacles to delay the passage
of the bill just because it does not
meet his personal views in all it's de-
tails. He wants authority to enlist
the men needed. and wants it as
quickly as possible, regardless of the
details Of the law providing therefor.
Mr. Charles S. Francis, editor of the
Troy, n. Y, Times, who is in Wash
ington for the purpose of getting his
commission and instructions as United
States minister to Greece. Roumania
and Servia, is one Of the few men who
accept official position for entimental
reasons. In his own words, "I have
little ambition to hold public office
further than the sentiment that at
taches to occupying the same position
in the public service that my father
had before me. I was with him in
Europe during his diplomatic service
as his secretary"
A movement is on foot an2 being
vigorously pushed to have the senate
inaugurate the goth century legisla-
ton 10y ratifying the treaty already
favorably reported, which binds the
United States to prohibition of the
sale of intoxicants in Africa, between
twenty degrees north latitude and
twenty-five degrees south latitude,
and to add resolution inviting the
nations of the world to join in protect
ing barbarian native races every
where, on the first legislative day Of
the new century, Thursday, January

passage by the house, on the same
day, of the GiIlett bill prohibiting the
sale of intoxicants or firea by
Americans to the natives of the New
Hebrides islands, a traffic which Eng

TO POULTRY KEEPERS.

We have recently put IN our mill +: a Mann
Bone Cutter and are prepared to grind bone
and meat for the public, and shall keep on
hand, for sale, Green bone and meat for poul-
try, ground fresh every day, Ut the low price
of cts per pound. Green bone and meat
contains so to rs per cent nitrogen and al
bumen and from Is to 25 per cent carbonate
and phosphate of lime, when converted into
poultry food. The constituents of the white
and yolk of an egg are largely nitrogen and
albumen. The shell is composed mostly of
pure lime. 1t is because green bone and meat
is so rich in lime and albumen that such
wonderful results follow its use. 1t Is Justly
considered the most perfect and complete
food obtainable. Are you aware what the
bone and scraps you now feeding are
composed of. They are the refuse OF the soap
factories. Refuse meat, bone, dead hogs Of
ten in various stages of ofdecompositiont thrown
in watts and every particle of grease and nutri-
tive matter extracted run through a powerful
press, then ground and put on the market as
Ground Bone Scraps and Poultry Food. Now
if hens fed on thus refuse matter are bene-
fitted how much greater will the benefit prove
when fed with fresh ,untainted meal and bone
rich in every element that produces flesh,
blood and bone, and contains all the essen
tials necessary to the construction of the eggs.

Some of our contemporaries are
pointing to the work of the Filipinos,
who recently skinned alive soldier
whom they had captured, as proof
that the people Of these islands are
not civilized. This is pretty tough
treatment for a civilized people to
deal out to others. The leaders
should be brought to this country and
instructed in the painless method en-
ployed here of burning at the stake.

WARNS JUDGE WALKER.
John WiIheIm Holds Court RespOn-
sibIe for His Property.

AS soon as John Wilhelm, who was the
husband of Leona Wilhelm. the woman
found murdered on the banks of White
river last fall, gets out of the workhouse,
he promises to make trouble for the civil
courts. Wilhelm and his wife owned a
small truck farm, his share being one-third
and hers the remainder. The Marion
Trust Company was appointed administra-
tor of the estate after she was murdered
Several debts had accrued against Mrs
Wilhelm and the estate on account of fu-
neral expenses and taxes, and the trust
company tried to sell the property to pay
them. A purchaser was secured. but he
refused to accept a deed signed by Wilhelm
for fear il would not be genuine. alleging
that Wilhelm had vice been i'm the insane
hospital. At that time Wilhelm said lie
was willing to sign a deed. but since tie
company now has a purchaser who will
accept it he refuses. and says no one can
induce him to attach his signature to such
an instrument. He also has the key to his
house, which he refuses To turn over. and
he declares that as soon as he is out OF
the workhouse he will go to his home to
live. and stay there contrary to the iuris-
diction and order of all courts. He has
warned Judge Walker, of the probate de-
partment. that he will hold him responsible
IL the property is sold.

COMPLICATED CASE.
Suit of Indiana Trust Company in
Circuit Court.

Judge Allen. of the Circuit Court, has un-
der advisement the suit of the Indiana
Trust Company, guardian OF Margaret
Vanderventer. of unsound mind, against
Oscar +. Mann, to cancel a deed. The case
yesterday was even more complicated by
the testimony of a witness named Fisher.
The trust company seeks to regain posses
sion of property for its ward that was
decided to Mann in a trade for a saloon
lease and fixtures, on the ground that she
was of unsound mind when the deed was
executed. Fisher. according to the testi-
1t Is said there was a mortgage on the
property she traded Mann, and she gave
him a note secured by Fisher, and that
Fisher at the time told her she was max
ing a bad trade. The confusion that may
arise over this testimony depends upon the
decision of the court. Should the court
hold that Mrs. Vanderventer was of I'M
is said the question as to her sanity will be
raised regarding the mortgage, and If she
was not capable of making a deed she was
not capable of executing a mortgage.
A similar suit remains to be disposed of
in Judge Leathers'S court, where the trust
company Is suing Charles Davis and George
Seibert for possession of the saloon fixtures
they bought of John Holohan and Edward
Means, Mrs. Vanderventer having sold out
to the two last-named persons. The suit is
brought on the ground that Mrs. Wander
venter was of unsOund mind when she sold
out. 1t is said the money involved has been
squandered, and the only thing definite
is that somebody will have to lose in the
end

PROTEST OF
Make Charges Against Oriental
Trading Company.

TIL Merchants Association of Indian
spolis yesterday. through it's manager. j.
F. Saulter. presented to the city controller
a petition in writing formally protesting
against the issuance of a license 10 the
Oriental Trading Company or E.. S. Su-
leeba to do any further business in this
city.
Suleeba has been conducting a sale of
rugs. bric-a-brac and Oriental goods in this
city during the past month. obtaining a
license from the controllers office each
week. According to the protest filed by the
Merchants Association the Oriental Trad
ing Company obtained a Judgment against
Suleeba on April 9 In the sum of IS. DO. OS.
An execution was issued on the Judgment
and since that time the sale of the stock
of goods owned by Suleeba, though con-
Quoted by the employees OF Suleeba, has
been advertised as a sherif's sale. The
Merchants Association alleges in its COM
plant 10 the controller that the judgment
obtained by the Oriental Trading Company
was fraudulent upon the court and that
the whole proceedings were collusive and
made for the purpose of enabling Suleeba
to advertise his sale as a sheriff's sale.
The complaint also contains several other
charges of lesser significance.

Company for $500 for paving between the

10 pay for it. The city, in its answer, con-
tends that the specifications Of the con-
tract provided that the company should
pave between the tracks. and the pleading
IS that the remuneration is 10 be received
