Secretary Gage has purchased, un'
der his offer Of September 10, about
seven million dollars worth of long
term bonds, to relieve as far as may
be the stringency of the money mark
ct. The treasury people had consid
cradle fun the other day over thC
offer of a prominent Wall Street
house to sell Secretary Gage munich
pal bonds to the amount of ten mil
lion dollars. Secretary Gage seemed
to think that a New York broker
ought to have known better.

Races at the Driving Park


The races at the Milford driving
park last Saturday were very we'll
attended. The novelty Of a mule
contest of speed which promised
considerable amusement, and which
was fully up to the expectation, no
doubt was a drawing card. For the
first race there were only two en-
tries Jozeba, J. A. Rumble Walt
anna, Arthur slade. The former
won in three straight heats, time,
2 S51I, 9.2O1S, 2.29H.
For the second race there were
Lizzie Mccoy, P N. Bournique;
Prince, J. B. Westbrook Mano,
sChas. Maync. Lizzie was first to
go under the wire in the three heats
with Prince I'd in the first, after
which he was withdrawn. and Mano
was, Of course, second in the other
two heats. Time, 2.43, 2.4s1<,
251H.
Then came the mule race with
three entered; Jack, John HoR-
man Dick, E Vandermark Topsy,
E. Vandermark.
Jack is no doubt a pretty fast
mule but he was in no mood to go,
and to show his displeasure at the
liberties taken with his person in
one heat threw his rider overheard
with considerable emphasis and in
the others went OF the track sever
al times and otherwise displayed his
obstinacy. That he would not be in
it was evident from his strateg etical
maneuvres to get out. Topsy took
the two heats, time, 5.41. sos.
Charles Thornton, Arthur No
Carty, John Nissan, Louis de
Berthe and Roscoe Gouriay started
in the bicycle race, but after the
first heat only Nissan and Gourlay
remained to contend for the victor's
prize, which was captured by the
latter The time ranged from 2.34
to s.ss.

THE WASHINGTON LETTER.

From Our Regular Correspondentl
WASHINGTON. d. c.. SEPT. i6, 1901
The suspense Of the past week is
ended. President Mckinley is dead
And yet, though the flags are at hall
mast and the colors, draped with
black and framing pictures Of tho
president, are to be seen everywhere
as visible signs Of mourning, there is
somehow an air of unreality about
the whole thing. Perhaps not until
the day of the state funeral will
Washington fully realize that the
familiar and genial presence Of Will
liam Mckinley has vanished forever
from its streets. 1t may be that the
actual realization Of the tragedy has
been less vivid here than in other
cities; for the news, flashing over the
wires, has as yet scarcely effaced the
memories which practically every
one in the city has Of the dead presi-
dent. He was one of the men who
seemed destined to go through life
without being overtaken by accident.
His whole career was so natural, SC
orderly in its development that his
sudden taking off by the bullet Of an
assassin was one of the last things
his friends had thought of as likely.
1t appeared far more probable that
after two terms Of honorable service
os chief magistrate Of the nation, he
would retire to his home at Canton
to enjoy a peaceful and well-earned
quiet in his old age. But it was
not to be.

PIKE COUNTY GAME Law.
Opinion As TO It's Status which May

SPAAAuu Ab " Abb DbdbuS W ulCu may
Interest Hunters.
There having been considerable
discussion as to whether the special
sact Of 1878 relating to Pike county
was yet in force or whether it was
repealed by the act of 1897, letter
was sent to DR.. Joseph Kalbfus, sec.
rotary, directing his attention spe-
officially to this point, and in reply
the following has been received:
Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Office of the Board of Game
Commissioners.
Harrisburg, Pa, Sept. 16, 1901 j..
III. II. VAN ETTEN:
Dear Sir In reply to your let :
tier just received l wo1ld say: The
opinion of the Game Commission is
chat all acts or parts Of acts conflict
ling with or inconsistent with the
net of 1897, generally known as the
game law of 1897, were repealed by
this act. That was the intention of
those who drafted it and is sustain
ed by the following opinion received
from Deputy Attorney General
w. F. Reeder, under the administra-
ton of General, or rather Governor
Hastings. This letter was in an
swer TO an inquiry from this Office
upon the very point made in your
letter, the bearing of the act of
1897 upon the special law of Pike
county. Mr.. Reeder says "In an.
swer. to your first question, beg to
call your attention to letter ad.
dressed to DR.. B. H. Warren, eco
nomic zoologist, on March 4th, 1898,
wherein we advised him that the
intention of the act of 1897 was to
repeal all general or special laws
as we'll as all sections or provisions
of law that in any wise confiicted
with said act. The last section OF
tine act is sweeping repeal of all
such general or special laws, and
in answer to your last two questions
your are advised, that the act OF
1897 does repeal the local and spec
ial laws mentioned in your said in
quiries." The Commission was
very anxious last season that
should go into your county and take
such steps as might find necessary
to have this question finally decided
by the courts. This l am now pre-.
sparing to do, and will perhaps call
on you personally in the near fu
ture. I am perfectly satisfied thai
you should publish this opinion, az
would much rather have the law
,obeyed through a fair understand.
&ing and the desire to do right, thar
sto be compelled to use force in Sc
touring that end. There can be NJ
squestion as to the benefit derived
from the act of 1897, imperfect a
it is there can be no question as t.
the need Of the protection the ac
gives, and we cannot understan,
why anyone interested in the wei
fare of this Commonwealth shoulC
hesitate for a single moment in as
.sisting in its enforcement. Woul,
be pleased to hear from you at any
time on this subject.
Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH KALBFUs,
Secretary of the Game Commission

The only important thing which
HAS as yet happened in the Schley
court of inquiry is the resignation o.
Admiral Howison and the selection
of Admiral Francis NJ Ramsay, re
tired, for the vacant place. 1t is sale
that Admiral Howison is not sorry
to be relieved of his delicate anC
onerous duty, and that Admira
Ramsay is entirely competent to full
i'll it. He succeeded Admiral Samp
son as superintendent of the nava
academy, and distinguished himself
1 by his flrmness and good judgment
in suppressing cadet rebellion o.
somewhat the same nature as thu
late trouble at West Point.

That some changes will be made in
the cabinet appears practically GER
tian. II cannot be foretold when
this viii happen, or what the changes
viii be; for the matter win depend
on party politics and also to some ex-
tent on the health Of Secretary Hay,
who is said to be much broken since
the death Of his son. Should Mr.
Hay resign, as it is thought he is anx.
ious 10 do, the 6lling Of his place
would be a matter for very interest
ing speculation. The three republi-
cans Of prominence who stand near
est President Roosevelt are Senator.
Lodge, Wolcott and Depew. The
chief objection to Wolcott would b
geographical; for there are unwritteI
political laws which forbid the ehoos
ing Of e secretary Of state from Colo
rado. There is also a geographica
reason against Depew, as he, lik'
Roosevelt, and Root, Is from New
York; and a New York eabine
would not help the president much q
be were contemplating candidacy fol

1t is, of course, TO be expected that
the possible course of Mr.. McKinley's
successor will occupy much Of the at
tention of the public. While not so
well known here, personally, as the
late president, Roosevelt is too thor
oughly national character not to be
familiar to every Washingtonian.
There is room for much speculation
as to his views and actions during
the next three years. Perhaps no
two men so radically different in
temperament as Roosevelt and Nc
Kinley ever occupied places on the
same ticket. It is one of those his
tOrical combinations which seem to
have been dictated by the ingenuity
of a novelist. Mckinley was eau
tious, prudent, polite, and never
made an enemy if he could help it.
Roosevelt is bold, impetuous, frank,
and never hesitates to make an en-
emy rather than give up what he be-
lieves right. Curiously enough,
these two men, both conscientious,
both earnest, both devoted to the
welfare Of the country as they under
stood it, arrived at practically the
same point of view on the main po-
litical problems of the age; and il
was this which made it possible for
them to occupy respectively the
positions of president and vice
president. 1t is this, too, which
makes the question of Roosevelt's
future actions so interesting. While
most people undoubtedly expect that
he will make some radical departure
from the policy laid down by his
predecessor, It is quite possible that
he may do nothing of the kind so far
as large public questions are con-
cerned. He viii certainly have his
own notions Of right, aud follow
them unswervingly, but at the pre-
sent stage Of his own and the coun-
try's development, those notions may
coincide very nearly with those en-
tertained by Mr.. Mckinley.

re-election. Although Senator De-
pew Is very many things sbesides a
lumorist, his appointment to a posi-
tion of this sort would also, perhaps,
give too much opportunity to demo-
cratic cartoonists. This leaves Sena-
tor Lodge the most eligible candidate
Of the three; and he is a man Of
ROosevelt's own sort-the man of in
herited traditions and literary abil-
ity, who goes into politics from con-
viction. Lodge as secretary Of state
would remind a good many people Of
LOwelrs career as minister to Eng
land, and that was successful. Sec
'retary Root is a good friend of Roose-
welt, and also, perhaps, the best
available man for the place; but po-
litical reasons might possibly force
.him out. Secretary Wilson would
stay where he is; he is a western
.man, which is good, and the best
secretary of agriculture the depart
iment has had in a long time; and
that is better. Secretary Longs re-
lations with Roosevelt are rather
iproblematical, and will continue to
be so till after the decision of the
sSchley-Sampson case. Mr.. Long has
mot had any quarrel with the presi-
ident-he seldom, if ever, quarrels
with anybody-but it is possible that
internal dissensions in the depart
iment might make trouble between
them, or that the clamor Of political
opponents against alleged depart
ment methods might force Mr..
Longs resignation.

By Thomas Buchanan Read.
 My soul today
 Is far way. Sailing the Vesuvian bay;
 My winged boat,
 A bird af1oat, Swims round the purple peaks remote. Round purple peaks
 It sails and seeks Blue inlets and their crystal creeks, Where high rocks throw,
 Through deeps below, A duplicated golden glow.
 Over the rail
 My hand I traf Within the shadow of the sail; A joy intense
 The cooling sense Glides down my drowsy indolence. With dreamful eyes
 My spirit lies Where summer sings and never dies; O'erveiled with vines,
 She glows and shines Among her future oil and wines.
 o happy ship
 To rise and dip With the blue crystal at your lip! O happy crew
 My heart with you Sails, and sails, and sings anew! No more, no more
 The worldly shore Upbraids me with it's loud uproarl With dreamful eyes
 My spirit lies Under the walls of Paradise!
