RELIEVED FROM DUTY.
Order Detaching Major MOsher From
Service With National Guard

order Detachfng Major MOsher From
Service With National Guard.
Special orders just issued from the War
Department set forth that by direction of
the President Major Theodore Mosher,
United States army, retired, is relieved by
the Secretary Of War from duty as adju-
tant general of the District of Columbia
militia, to take effect August 81, 1901
The foregoing order would seem to 1ndi-
cate that Adjutant General Mosher will
permanently sever his official connection
with the local brigade Of citizen-soldiery
the end Of next month. A few days ago,
by special orders from militia headouar-
ters Adjutant General Mosher was grant
ed leave of absence for thirty days be-
cause of the state of his health. He was
severely wounded during the fighting at Ell
Caney in 1898, and hard work and the re-
cent excessive heat eliminated in what
bordered on physical collapse last week
The War Department order relieving Ad-
lutant General Mosher from duty with the
District militia is in the nature of a sur
prise, the understanding being that his
detail here was practically permanent in
character.
When the matter was called to his atten-
tion today General Harrles, commanding
the District Of Columbia militia, declined
to discuss 1t In any way. No light on the
situation was obtained in the offices of
militia headquarters. The intimation' was
given, however, that the order relieving
Adjutant General Mosher was issued for
the purpose Of affording him a much need
ed rest, and that when his physical condi-
ton shall have been materially Improved
he will return to duty as the District mill
tia's adjutant general.
1t is said at the War Department that
the order for the relief Of Major Mosher
was based upon representations made by
General Harries commanding the District
militia. and with the understanding that
such action was entirely agreeable to Major
Mosher. Major Mosher's relief does not
take effect till August 81, and he has been
granted leave Of absence until that date.
In the event that his health should i'm
prove, in the meantime, sufficiently to en-
able him to perform the duties of the Of
flee, it Is more than probable that the
order for his relief will be revoked At
any rate, the selection of his successor
will not be considered seriously much be-
fore the middle of next month

Kentucky REPUBLICANS.
Will Make a Big Fight Over LegisIa.
tive Candidates


Republican politicians returning recently
frcm Kentucky report that the republicans
of the blue grass state are preparing for a
great political battle next fall over legisla-
tive candidates The United States senator
ship is at stake, for one thing, but more
important to the party, locally, is the con-
troll of the legislature for the eredistricting
Of the legislative and senatorial districts.
It Is reported that the republicans are
very much heartened at the prospect for
the fall, and what they propose to make
one of the most vigorous campaigns of re-
cent years This view, of course, Is from
republican sources and naturally. bears
some of the rose tint of hope.
A very prominent Kentuckian, who was
in the city today, but who does not desire
his name used in an interview, stated to a
Star reporter that If the republicans lost
the legislature next fall they would not
see daylight again for years to come He
said the democrats are determined to re-
district the state and will do 1t along lines
more partisan than ever before attempted.
The natural opportunities for thorough
gerrymander are good, and the democrats
may be counted upon to take advantage Of
them.
The congressional districts will also be
changed, he thought, although Kentucky
did not gain anything under the new ap-
portionment act. He did not deem this OF
as much Importance, however, as the pros
pect of legislative redistricting.

CATTLEMEN ARE UNEASY.
Opening of Indian Reservations VIII
Cause Them Great Loss.

DENVER, Col. July 9.-The action of the
President in proclaiming the opening for
settlement the reservation lands in Oklaho-
ma on August is causing great uneasiness
to cattlemen.
1t is said there are 100000 head Of cattle
on the ranges that have been leased by
Texas and Oklahoma cattlemen. The cal
tie are immature and unfit for the market
at the present time. If the order shall be
carried out these cattle will have to be
shipped Immediately and sold in the east
ern markets for what they will bring.
1t Is said that a delay of ninety or even
sixty days would enable the owners to put
the cattle on the market in proper condi-
ton. To secure such a delay, II possible,
the following message was sent to Sccre-
tary Hitchcock Saturday night:
Live stock interests in west and south
west will be seriously affected unless proc
lamation opening of Kiowa and Comanche
reservations can be delayed until herd i'm
mature cattle can be shipped to market On
behalf Of live stock industry L respectfully
petition for such delay.

ARRAIGNED BY TETUAN.
Liberal Party I'm Spain Held Responsi-
BILE for Disorders.

MADRID. July 9.-In the senate yester-
day the Duke of Tetuan, one time minister
of foreign affairs. declared that the present
government could not be considered a
guarantee for the integrity of the country.
Responsibility for the disasters which had
occurred. the duke said, could not be at
tributed to the conservatives, but must be
credited to the liberals. The conservatives
had not permitted the intervention Of the
United States in the question of Cuba, and
they had refused several times to sell the
United States the island. If the couserva
tives had remained in power the war with
the United States would not have broken
out.
Among the errors of the liberal party.
continued the duke must figure the
call of Weyler at a very difficult moment"
The duke will conclude his speech today.

Question of Beauty.

In the early Indiana days, when both
judges and attorneys literally rode the
circuit newly elected Judge, noted
for his lack of personal beauty, was
Flooding along on horseback between
two countyseats one fine summer day.
Suddenly he was confronted by hunt
er, who unslung his squirrel rifle from
his shoulder, and ordered the horse.
man to dismount. Somewhat startled
by this peremptory command, the jur-
list began to demonstrate. He was
quickly cut short, however, by the re-
mark: cts no use talking. I long ago
swore that If ever met a homlier
man than am I'd shoot him on sight"
The judge, sizing up the situation,
promptly got off his horse. Folding his
arms he faced mis- assailant, and said:
If am any homlier than you are, for
heavens sake do shoot and be quick
about it, Needless to say, his wit
saved him-Argonaut.

Paris Postal Stories.

Some Paris postal stories are going
the rounds just now. One of them has
reference to a letter posted in a little
country place in France to the minister
of public instruction, Paris. The send
er did not put a stamp upon it, know
ing that government letters are carried
free.
The provincial lady official, however
evidently not knowing this, put
postage stamp on the letter and sent
the postman to collect the Is centimes
from the sender, whose name, by some
mysterious means, the secret of which
is in possession of her sex. she man
aged to discover.
Another anecdote relates that well
known Partisan lawyer sent a letter to
M. Millerand and put 15-centime
stamp on it. evidently forgetting that e
stamp was unnecessary. Now, the let
te. was overweight, and the postofice
people, evidently thinking only of the
stamp, and not of the minister's privi-
leges, claimed 80 confines excess. This,
OF course, M. Millerand refused to pay,
and the unlucky sender was forced to
take it and pay the 30 centimes, max
ing in all, 40 centimes, out of his own
pocket; whereas, had he put no stamp
at all on it, it would have been safely
delivered.-Paris Messenger.

The Future of the Ho1y Land.

Palestine is not destined to be simply

such G rate that one almost foresees
the time when Jerry building will be
traced to Jerfco. The bulk of the Jews
live in towns in Jerusalem, in Tiberius,
in Safed, and for these Jews urban in
dustries must be created-olive-wood
carving, embroidery, ready-made
clothes, straw plating, basket making,
soap and glass manufacture, jana-mak-
ing-all were suggested at a recent
conference Of the colonization societies,
now at last awake to the actualities OF

and 9. lace factory are in preparation.
