A SchIey Surprise.

There is said to be n big surprise in
store for the navy department when
the court of inquiry meets to investi-
gate the charges against Schley. Jere
Wilson, the noted lawyer of Washing
ton, will be one Of Schley's counsel
and it is said that former Secretary of
the Navy Benjamin Il. Tracy, of New
York. will also appear on that side OF
the case That is the surprise which
may worry Secretary Long. Gen.
Tracy is one of the greatest lawyers in
the United States, and was Harrison's
secretary of the navy, and it is whis-
pered that his part in the cases will
be so to handle the witnesses as to
reveal political favOritism and petty
department scandals which will not
only assist to create the impression
that Schley is the victim of bureau
jealousies, but will also embarrass the
administration.
1t is minated by Schley's
friends that Tracy will so develop
the bureaucratic methods of the
navy department before the court as
to create n sensation if not n naval
scandal and compel complete over
hauling of the department. Wealthy
men in New York and Boston have
taken up the cause of Schley and stand
ready to contribute all the money
needed for the employment of counsel
and it is intimated that there will be
other great lawyers in the case when
it comes to a hearing.

porated for the purpose Of doing a le-
Ultimate business. but formed by Mr..

The DowaGer-Empress' Husband.

A story has reached Paris that EN-
peror William of Germany has con-
ferred upon Count Won Seckendorff.
the alleged husband of the dowager
empress. the grand Gordon of the Ho-
henZollern Family Order. This is re-
garded as tactful act of modification
on the part of his majesty. Secken-
dorff. though bitterly protesting. was
not permitted to exercise the rights Of
Il husband. to act as chief mourner at
the services over the empress remains.
He deficd the kaiser and threatened to
appeal to the law Of Prussia for pro-
lection. The kaiser is now fearful OF
scandals. He has become unusually
sensitive on this point. and very nat
urally sees that the biggest scandal Of
all concerning the royal family of Ger
many would be in exposures by Count
Won Seckendorff. Hence this decoru
ton, q. most unusual one to be con-
ferred on any but member of royalty
The kaiser has forbidden the Berlin
journals to discuss the matter.

The south American Revolt.

Regarding the situation in the Ven
ezuela-Colombia dispute. President
Castro has Informed President McKin-
ley: 1T Is the governments opinion
that the conservatives OF Colombia,
probably led by ruinous and wicked
passions. have resolved to assist in
revolutionary movement against Ven
ezuela AMI her government When
the government of Venezuela was sur
prised by the first and second inva-
sions of her frontier by 5000 and 1000
men, respectively, the invaders were
VIGOROUSLY expelled by the govern
ment and the people of Venezuela.
Since said events, 10000 men have
been massed on the frontier for the
defense and integrity OF Venezuela and
apart from her active service troops
on other parts Of the frontier, rs well
as national troops scattered over the.
republic and the reserve militia now
under arms. Venezuela has hot ac-
cepted the invasion as an international
attack by the people of Colombia
against the people of Venezuela. but.
knowing its real source, recognize in it
the work of the conservative govern
ment of Colombia against the majesty
of the nation OF Venezuela"
There are indications that there will
be considerable gathering of foreign
warships at the isthmus. and that
American ships will be brought into

During the famous Douglas and Lin
coin debate and subsequent campaigns
the point was frequently brought out
by the supporters of "the Little Giant"
that Mr.. Lincoln had served only a
single term in Congress, but that SEN
ator Douglas had enjoyed for years a
national reputation. This point, says
a writer in Lippincott's, was urged in
a heated discussion between an ardent
supporter of Douglas and a German
voter who favored Lincoln. Finally the
former, thinking to overwhelm his OPP
ponent, said: "Who is this Lincoln,
anyhow? Nobody ever heard of him
until Senator Douglas brought him into
notice by holding a joint debate with
him. Senator Douglas, on the other
hand, is a great statesman. Why, he
has had his eye on the presidential
chair for the last ten years!" "Vot is
dot you say?" was the reply. "You say
Meester Dooglas have hat his eye on
der president chair for ten years?'
Yes, that is just what said" well
you shoost tell Meester Dooglas If he
will keep his eye on dot chair shoost a
leedle vile longer he will see old 1be
Lincoln sitting down in it," This closed
the debate, amid a roar of laughter
from the bystanders.

LATEST STRIKE REPORTS.
Fourteen Hundred Bay View Work
ers Go Out.
WHEELING MEN ALSO STRIKE,
and Desire to Get Back co wOrk-The
Joliet Plant Perm anently Shut Down
Latest reports of the situation.
The strike.

The steel workers were rejoicing
Saturday over the fact that the Mil
waukee workers in the Bay View
plant of the Illinois Steel Co. decided
to strike though there were reports
that the McI[eesport men might go
back to their work, thus adding
weakening of forces in the east. 1t is
said that the plant ut Bay View will
be shut down indefinitely and about l.
400 men will be thrown out Of work.
Leaders of the Amalgamated assOcia-
tion declare the action of the Bay
View men will have an important
bearing upon the situation. They claim
that South Chicago will be Influenced
in the same direction. OF the 1,400
men who were employed at the Bay
View mills. DO belong to the Amalga-
mated association. They are the ton
mage men. Besides the union men,
there were 200 other skilled men en-
ployed. The engineers and roll turn
ers formerly belonged to the Amalga-
mated association and are in SYM
patty with them. Employment was
given to 1000 unskilled men, 200 of
whom worked in the blast furnaces.
The wages paid the men who have
gone out of this plant amounted to
$4,000 per month. The news that the
Bay View men were to stand by the
Amalgamated association was n sur
prise TO the South Chicago workers.
Some in the streets declared that mt
last the local workers would be forced
to quit. There were others, however,
who asserted that il was too late now
to act. Should they strike now, it was
declared the Amalgamated associa-
ton would see to it that they were
taken back at less pay than when they
quit.
The news that the Milwaukee men
had decided to cast their fortunes with
the strikers, supplemented by the wir-
ed announcement that the steel men in
the Riverside plant at Wheeling had
voted to strike. awakened new enthu-
slasm in the ranks OF the Amalgamat-
ed association and its followers in
Pittsburg
There is strong possibility that
there will be an early break in the
ranks of the strikers at McKeesport.
Many Of the unOrganiZed men have
become dissatisfied and make no Sc
cret of their threat TO go boldly back
to the National Tube Co. and ask for
their places just as soon rs they gain
sufficient following to withstand pres
sure from the strikers or are given n
guarantee of personal protection. Sew
eral Of them. in stating their position.
say that they have everything to lose
and nothing to gain by staying out
They are merely out in an effort to
strengthen the hand of the Amalga-
mated association. When the contest
ends, they say. they can see nothing
i'm it for them but loss of wages and
possibly loss Of place.
The great western works of the
American Tin Plate Co. ut Joliet never
VIII be reOpened. This declaration was
made by Il representative Of the com
bine located in Joliet His statement
he said was based on positive Informal
ton. although he declined to give his
authority. Following the utterance
came news of the transfer of the gen
eral manager and of the foreman of
the plant to other places.

Some amusing letters find their way
into the government archives. One
federal ofiiceholder recently made an
appeal for screens for the building
where he worked, saying that within
a hundred yards>were three livery sta
bles, one mule boarding house, one
horse sanitarium with operating table,
and one fish morgue. He added that
his handwriting had been spoiled by
the constant endeavor to write and
keep off flies at the same time. He
had pasted ten sheets of sticky fly
paper, and while they carried off thou
sands of victims they seemed to occa-
sion no vacancies in the ranks Of the
survivors. The pathetic appeal was
in vain. "Uncle Sam is rich enough
to give us all'' screens, but he is toe
hard-hearted to do it.

The London Lancet, high medical
authority, says that the habit of self
druggging has grown to be source Of
untold mischief The practice has been
greatly assisted by the enormous i'm
provements in pharmaceutical prepara-
tions. Treating symptoms without
medical advice may be temporarily
satisfactory, but what if the physical
disturbance be the sign of fatal dis
ease? A little knowledge, coupled
with overconfidence, is dangerous
thing in dealing with the ailments
which come in so many forms. Vary
ing the adage, it may be said that a
man who is his own doctor has fool
for patient.

Attorney General Dole Refuses the
Resignation.

j. ]. Dunno, Acting United States Dis
trict Attorney, rendered his resignation
to Attorney General Dole, as counsel
for the government before the court OF
fire claims, but yesterday he received a
letter from the attorney general refus-
ing to accept the resignation and re-
questing him to continue to act. In Of
fering his resignation Dunno wrote that
he took such action because of the
stringency of funds in the commission
but that he was ready to serve the COM
mission if needed, without compensa-
ton.
Dole objected to the resignation on
the ground that Dunno had become
familiar with the work, and it would
take some time for a new man to get
the knowledge which Dunno had Sc
cured by hearing many claims. The
attorney general concluded his reply as
follows: IF you generously Insist upon
making the Territory a present of your
services, / cannot object but l feel
bound to say that the services which
you have rendered the Attorney Gen
erals Department since you have been
connected with it, are worth far more
than the money which you have re-
ceived. I am unwilling to accept your
resignation at the present time.
