no effect, and then Father J. J. Mullin
OF the Sacred Heart church, capped the
climax by offering $4,000 reward for the
missing boy. This made a total Of SIS

One bright morning New York was
startled by the announcement that Pat
Sheedy, honest gambler" had decided,
after his success as a go-between in the
restoring of the stolen Gainsborough to
restore Willie Mccormick He gave out
signed statements, in which he an
nounced he was prepared to take the
money and find the boy. He sneered at
the police and declared himself the only
real detective IN business in Gotham
Strange to say Mr. Sheedy's disinterested
efforts did not meet with unanimous ap-
prevail. First, one Of the newspapers
made very harsh remark about Mr..
Sheedy and then the police decided that
they were perfectly able to do all the
detecting needed around the city for quite
a while yet. Mr.. sheedy took offense at
the cold-blooded way in which his kind
offers had been spurned and in very
digniied manner announced that he
should retire from the case and compel
the detectives to struggle along without
his aid.
When little Willie disappeared Father
Mullin was firm in his belief that the lad
had run away; He questioned his school
from what he learned was convinced that
little Willie was not the angel he had
been painted, but this did not deter the
priest from Offering the reward to anyone
who would return the boy to his grief
stricken parents
The latest in the strange case came
from Chattanooga Tenn, when William
NJ. Maingault, a detective living In Union
town. KY, asserted that the kidnaper Is
Joseph Finley, and is in Chattanooga. He
has written q letter Containing, this In
formation to Father Mullin. This letter
Father Mullin turned over to Capt Titus,
who sent 1t to Chief Of Police Hill, Of
Chattanooga, to investigate In the mat
ter the detective says:
II have man In Chattanooga, Tenn,
who claims to know all about the kid

your church named Willie Mccormick
On account Of a bad cut on right arm
he requested me to write q letter today
to ono Pat Sheedy advising him to keep
still and, say nothing. He says that
he is.
He claims that woman has the boy
at her house. detained there for safe
keeping. He also claims the boys father
for money, but because his fathers evil
dence sent him to prison in his past life
for four years.

be interested In such a case will send

Willie McCormtck's father declared,
however, that he had never testified in
tive Maingaults letter. He regards the
letter as Of no more Importance than the
very many others he has received from
parts Of the country

dreds Of clues of the usual kind that de-
velop in this sort Of a case had been run
down, without effect Chief of Detectives
Titus personally took up the matter and
claimed to have discovered on one occa-
sion that the little fellow was fond of
horses and was ambitious to become a
jockey. Brooklyn street car conductors
were willing to swear they had carried
him in the direction of Sheepshead Bay,
and some of the touts around that neigh
borhood came to the front with the posi-
tive assertion that the boy had beeen
seen loafing around the paddock. Grooms
and wipers and Jockeys and trainers told
the police day after day that they had
seen him, but he was elusive. Titus final
ly abandoned his theory and began to
think that perhaps after all the boy had
6een stolen.
Gypsies and Italians were SUSPECTED
Two or three of the former were arrested.
All the gypsies that had camped in West
chester county for year or more were
followed and their camp searched, but
none OF them had Willie Mccormick.
Then the cranks took a hand in the
matter and wrote letters to the heart
broken father and mother. Some Of these
letters were threatening, some insulting,

some savored of blaclmail and others
were idiotic. The father decided to offer
reward of $1,000 for the return Of his
boy. This produced another letter, which
demanded the money should be placed in
an old boiler in the upper part of Third
avenue. This was actually done, and
two detectives carefully watched the spot
for hours, but no one came near the sack
of gold. Then Oscar Willgerodt, whose
nephew was once kidnapped, added 81 coo
to Mr.. McCormicks reward. This was
followed by an additional $4,000 offered
by Michael Mccormick, an uncle Of the
missing boy. Joseph R. Hennessy, q
restaurant man, became interested In the
case, and added 5000, All OF this had

from Governor General Wood regard
Ing the prospect for the unconditional
acceptance of the Plat amendment,
but its contents were not made public.
1t can be stated, however, that there
is a hopeful feeling in administration
circles that after the first soreness
wears off the convention will see the
wisdom of accepting the terms Of the

Wood is to be sent and the language

cussion during the day. @".
Meantime, the existing status in

looking to the calling of another con-
vention is in contemplation if the
present convention should decline to
accede to our terms
The programme looking to the es-
tablishment Of civil government in
the Philippines is being formulated in
the shape of an order which is to be
promulgated shortly. It is said that
there is no definite conclusion as to
whether the powers of the civil ad.
ministration will be exercised under
the general war powers of the presi-
dent or the authority vested in him
by the Spooner amendment. That,
however, is considered matter of de-
tail. The main point is that the civil
administration, which will be confined
largely to the municipalities, will be
vested In the head of the Taft CON-
mission and such other officials as
may be designated and that they will
exercise their functions subject to the
direct authority of the secretary of
war, to whom all reports will be made.
Civil administration under military
supervision, such as is contemplated,
is said not to be anomalous and the
civil government in New Mexico and
the Southern states during the early
stages of the reconstruction period are
pointed to as being substantially an
alagous to what is proposed in the
Philippines. go.

IN FINE CONDITION.

Commissary Department in Northern
Luzon Highly Commended.
Washington, June 8.-Major G. W.
Ruthers, chief commissary of the de-
partment of Northern Luzon, in a let
ter to Commissary General Weston,
says there are 33S stations in that de-
partment with about $4,000 troops, and
that the supplying of an army of this
size, divided into so many stations, is
much more difficult than If it were an
army in one body. Besides the troops
there were at that time several thou
sand prisoners who were being fed
by the government. The subsistence
department, he says, is in superb con-
dition and many gratifying statements
and reports are received from all the
officers. General Wheaton, in COM
mand of the department, has taken oc-
casion several times to speak in the
highest terms of the commissary de-
partment.
Major Ruthers devotes considerable
space in his letter to the subject of
beef supply. For the most part the
meat ration served the troops is the
refrigerated or frozen beef, although
In some Of the interior points where
there is neither rail nor water trans
portation, this supply is necessarily
Ecurtailed. He had sent beef 60 miles
into the interior with bull carts. He
notes as a remarkable fact that this
beef was transported through coun-
try infested with Ladrones and small
bands Of insurgents, vet the cart driv-
ersa and supplies were not molested.
he says they must have paid toll to
the tribal chiefs, for had the supplies
been accompanied by escorts there
would have been a daily ambush. ~
II He says there is need of more water
Transportation and if he had 1t he
would use, more frozen beef, as the

marked the more fresh beef used the
