against Colonel Heistand, the gentleman
said: We recognize up there that Hus-
tand is an ass, vainglorious chap not
evenly balanced and full of vanity, but
he has treated Major Hawkes. generously
and Hawkes. ought not to persecute him
further. Being asked the kind of man
that Hawkes. was, our friend described
him as "a broken down promoter"
This somewhat nettled us as we had con-
ceived a higher opinion of the Major,
and his military record proved him to
be an able and gallant officer. Hence,
we resented the offensive term by stating
that it was a little sing ular the aid of
General Miles should visit "a broken
down promoter" and sarcastically rub
bed in some expressions of a similar
ch haracter on our friend.
An instant change took place in our
friend. He became deeply interested
and sked for description of the aid.
This was given, when he pretended to
doubt Major Hawkes. statement and
wagered that there was no such aid on
General Miles staff. TO decide this con-
tention it was agreed that we should
visit the War Department building and
call on some pretext at General Miles
office, and identity the aid. There were
several mutual friends listening to the
controversy, and they were all interested
in the outcome.
Accordingly we visited the Office of the
General, and on the morning after his
promotion and confirmation to his pres
ent rank. We met the very aid-Colonel
Whitney-whom we had seen when visit
ing Major Hawkes., and triumphantly
so announced to our War Department
friend. He said no more at the time, and
the incident had been forgotten 10y us, as
of no sort of importance that we could
see or surmise. We were little aston
ished to receive visit from our friend a
elk later with a proposition. He de-
sired us to write out and sign the facts as
we stated them to him on our visit to
Major Hawkes., and especially Colonel
Whitney's call. Slowly realizing at
length the scheme of our friend we
opened on him mildly by demanding
the purpose and the uses to which he de-
sired to put the statement.
He finally acknowledged that it was
intended for the eye alone of his chief,
and would go no further. We promptly
declined as an honorable man to either
write or be quoted as seeing either Col,
Whitney or hearing any fragment of his
conversation with Major Hawkes., and
we admonished him against repeating
the conversation we had together relative
to the matter to his chief, that If at any
time he did so we would deny it point
blank, and there the affair rested until
Thursday evening last, when he visited
us with the proposition named of "SlOC
when Heistand returned from China for
the publication of the facts"
The publication is here given him
gratis, but with this admonition, that his
name will be printed should he deny,
dispute or contradict the matter herein
set forth, and as there was a witness to
his offer of 500 there are also witnesses
to the original conversation, innocent
enough on our part, but designing and
interested on the part of our friend.

A party of all-nighters in livery hack

night. demonstrated with, they became
flip and abusive until call was sent in,

guard them until the wagon arrived.

softened the hearts of their captors, and
they were turned loose on a promise to

BIG STEEL DOCK.
Intended for AIgiers, La, To B, Started from Baltimore By Sea.

New York. October 5.-A special to the Journal and Advertiser from Washington says:
 With a general agreement reached by the insurance companies, which is ex- pected on the day fixed by the builders, the largest floating dry dock in the world will start from Baltimore on the 10th of this month on hazardous trip down the Atlantic and around through the Gulf and up the Mississippi river to its new station at Algers. La.
 conference has been held this week between representative of the firm building the dock and Admiral Endicott, chief of the Bureau of Yards and Docks, and n agreement reached to start the dock away. It is said that all the com panies having insurance on the risk will agree on the 18th, and the big basin will float off then.
 Next Saturday it will take the water. and the work of preparing 1t for the cruise will begin. This dock has a lift ing capacity of 1000 tons and is by far the largest in the world. It is the de- sign of two Englishmen, Clark and Stan field. The great mass of steel. inclosed on all sides. is longer, wider and deeper than the greatest warship ever built, and cost the government over s1,000.OoO.

PLATT AND HANNA
Lose Powerful Prestige In the Death
 of Mckinley.

N. Y. Cor. in St. Louis Republic.
 There is only one thing in the whole gloomy situation regarding the Presi- dency that appeals to the sense of humor of any one. That Is the pre- dicament in which Senator Platt of New York finds himself.
 Senator Platt is still the unques- tioned boss of New York, but he now has man whom he can probably not control on any proposition that he ad- vances. The history of the estrange- ment is recent, yet all the details may not readily be recalled.
 When Governor Roosevelt, in the last days of the session of the Legis. lature of 1899, raided the lobby and forced the passage of the franchise tax bill, Senator Platt and all the big bankers, street railroad men and gas and electric magnates decided that Roosevelt should not be Governor again. Later on, when the Governor ordered an investigation of the State Trust Company. causing trouble for

many eminent Republicans, including Superintendent of Insurance Louis F. Payne, the decision was double-riveted that the only way to get Roosevelt out of the way was to have him nomi- mated for Vice President. es
 Senator Hanna and President Mo kinley really desired to have Secre- tary of the Navy Long named for Vice President, but MT. Platt took advant- age of the popular demand from the West that the gallant Rough Rider colonel should be the candidate and pressed his point. The result was that. although the New York delega- tion did not put Roosevelt forward, Senator Hanna finally yielded and MT, roosevelt was named. The, details of the arranging of the slate on behalf of New York were looked after by B. B. Odell, the chairman of the State Committee, Senator Platt having to go home because of his broken. rib

 he cannot hope to control the new President on any subject unless 1t ap-A

can support is necessary. The events of the past few years have shown that pub lie opinion at the North cannot be de- pended upon in this matter. Reinforce ments must be had and the outlook for them Is more promising at the South than anywhere else.
 Protectionists, like slavery in the old days. has much to give. It has the war amendments to the constitution to sur render. It has the longtime Republican contention that citizens of the United States, irrespective of color or race. are entitled to equality under the laws to give up. It has a rich store of federal appointments to distribute. It has tar ifs. subsidies, pensions, Bounties, appro- priations and grabs of every description to bestow upon favored interests and sec tions
 It is with these things that Southern Democrats are to be bribed.
 1t Is to fortify the monopoly tariff that the black race is to be abandoned.
 The President and his supporters in this policy will make a great ado over their purpose to create a division In the white vote at the South and to this end will assert that the suppression of the black vote Is necessary, but they will not explain the matter any further.
 The Republicans of the North assent to the elimination of the black vote be- ause it cannot be brought to the polls

RRiRINe THE SOUTH.
Roosevelt Will Be Accused of Absn-
 doning the Black Belt.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
 Relative to President Roosevelt's adop- ton of the policy of his predecessor as to the South. it is said that he expects to be charged with the bribery of Southern Democrats and that he also expects to be accused by the negroes and their friends of abandoning the coiored race to its fate.
 AS a matter of fact. why shouldn't he be thus accused? The policy of which so much is expected in the way of in- creasing the strength of the Republican party amounts to this exactly. It is plain bribery of Southern Democrats. It Is unmitigatcd abandonment of the black race. .
 The policy is to be defended. If at all, not by denying its obvious methods, but by explaining and justifying. if possible, the ends which are sought.
 The chief purpose of the corrupt office mongering alliance between Northern Re- publicans and Southern Democrats Is the perpetuation of the Republican protective tariff. To safeguard that instit ution something more than Northern Republi-

and used for protective tariff purposes. They will trade the colored race and its rights. the federal offices and liberal ap- propriations for such Southern Demo- cratic support in Congress as can be delivered in favor of existing or new schemes of tariff plunder.
 To dignify a bargain of this kind with the title of policy Is amazingly impu- dent. It is immortality itself. It is gov ernment by corruption. It Is the bribery of a section. It Is the most colossal and the most shameless scheme of political debauchery ever outlined on this planet,
 The President who hopes in this man ner to win recruits for protectionism, for bounties and for subsidies stands with an open bribe in one hand and with throttled law in the other. It is a spec tacle of which the American people have not as yet fully grasped the meaning, but one which will not be persisted in without arousing a storm of protest from coast to coast.

peals to MT. Roosevelt as proner one without MT. Platt's endorsement
 The situation is somewn~l ..milar in the case of Senator Hanna. Only recently he was the most prominent and influential Republican in the United States. He could probably have named the successor to MT. Mo kinley. As chairman of the National Republican Committee and the bosom friend of the President, his power in national politics practically had no limit. Politicians were beginning to believe that MT. Hanna was leaning toward Governor Odell as the success sor of Mckinley in 1904.
 Senator Hanna has no quarrel with the new President and the new Presi- dent has no fight with Mir Hanna. yet it is doubtful if the great Cleveland leader will have even small percent age of the influence at the White House that he had last month, before the President came to Buffalo.
