Acting Secretary Hackett Declines to
Require Their Presence.

Captain W. C. Wise, commanding the re-
ceiving ship Franklin, at Norfolk, recently
requested a decision of the Navy Depart
ment as to whether bandsmen enlisted in
the navy can be required to assist at
divine service held under naval auspices.
Judge Advocate General Lemly, In render
ing an opinion the subject, stated that
bandsmen are enlisted in the navy prima-
rtly as musicians, and usually perform
little duty except in that capacity. He
therefore holds that bandsmen may be re-
1t being the duty of commanders Of vessels
and naval stations to which chaplains are
attached to cause divine service to be per-
formed on Sundays whenever the weather
and other circumstances allow of it. Such
assistance as bandsmen may render in these
services General Lemly says he considers
to be In the line of their regular duty as
bandsmen.
The chief of the bureau of navigation in
his Endorsement stated tNat it is CUSTOM
airy on ships carrying bands for the MEM
bers thereof to assist at divine service by
furnishing music.
The case in point was one wherein Cap
tain Wise desired the services of five or six
members of the band at the Norfolk yard
to assist in divine services on Sunday morn
ings.
Acting Secretary Hackett In passing
upon the question, stated that ''The de-
partment declines to require the command
ant of the Norfolk navy yard to order
members of the band to attend divine SER
vice for the purpose of assisting at such
service. This had best be left to the vol
untary determination of the members Of
the band themselves"

A MORE HOPEFUL FEELING
MRS. McKINLEY'S GENERAL CONDI-
TION SOMEWHAT IMPROVED.
Physicians, However, Almost Afraid
to Speak Too Encouraging
Iy at Present.

Mrs Mckinley is so weak and her cond1-
ton has been go grave that the physicians
are almost afraid to speak too encourag-
ingly of the Improvement in her case that
has manifested itself since yesterday af-
ternoon and that was referred to by DR..
Rixey for the first time last night. Fur
ther Improvement Is looked for, but the
case is such serious one that the physi-
til the Improvement shall have grown so
manifest as to leave no doubt that it Is
permanent.
After the regular morning consultation
the following bulletin was issued at II
o'clock today:
Mrs. McKinley's physicians report that
she has had very comfortable night ana
that her general condition is somewhat I'M
proved"
The bulletins are prepared by Secretary
Cortelyou by direction of DR.. RiXey, whose
conduct of the case Is said to be receiving
general praise from the medical profession.
Dr. Rixey and the other physicians seldom
make any verbal statements, and when
they do talk say nothing that could be
considered Inconsistent with the bulletins.
AS DIR. Rixey is in charge of the case the
other physicians refer inquirers to him as
the proper person to make answer.
1t is believed that the prevailing warm
weather will be beneficial rather than
prejudicial to Mrs Mckinley's case. She
has for many years appeared to be In bet
ter health in summer than in winter, and
at no time suffers from the heat.
The general feeling around the White
House is more hopeful than for some time,
and 1t is believed that If the improvement
can be maintained for a few days Mrs.
Mckinleys chances OF returning to her
Wonted health will be greatly increased.

AN ARREST EXPECTED.
Looking for Man Who stole Money
From the Post Office.

Upon investigation it has been ascer-
tanned that the amount of money stolen on
Sunday evening last from one of the stamp
clerks of the post cffice, notice of which
was published in The Star Of the following
day, Is about $40. The inspector, who is
investigating the case, has not yet been
able to lay his hands on the thief, but he
has acquired In M tion which. with GER
tain facts still TO Be developed, will en-
able him in few days to arrest the guilty
man. The theory of the inspector is that
the money stolen. which was inside the
stamp clerks room IN drawer, some dis
tance below the ledge of the window look
ing into the Pennsylvania avenue corridor
OF the post office. must have been alb
stracted by the thief raising himself up
on the ledge and reaching down into the
money drawer. This would have elevated
him momentarly above the floor of the
corridor. and If seen by any one the act
must have attracted attention; but it is
probable that a moment was seized to
commit the theft when no one besides the
guilty person was about.
1t has been suggested that stick with
a glutinous end or a sharp hook might
have been used in abstracting the money,
a procedure which must also have attract
ed attention, If anybody had been in sight
But the inspector does not believe that
the theft was committed In this way.

COMPUTATION OF SENTENCES.
The Attorney General on the New
Pennsylvania Law.


Pennsylvania Law.
When questioned today as to whether he
intended to take any official action with
reference to the new prison commutat ton
law Of Pennsylvania, Attorney General
Knox said,
THE matter has been brought to my at
tention by inquiries from the prison off,
cials as to the attitude of the government,
and have, therefore, given it my consid-
Grafton. The new Pennsylvania act seems
to be transcript Of the New York statute,
and I understand was passed at the in
stance Of certain prison societies. I do not
care to express any opinion with reference
to the policy Of this increased Iiberality
toward prisoners. It Is claimed by the
leading penologists that these discretionary
computations for longer periods have
worked well in the states where they are
in force. 1, however, have nothing to do
with that, and the only question which
presents itself to me is whether the federal
statute, which gives to every federal pris-
oner confined cont ne ma IN state penitentiary the
Of the state, will make the new Pennsylva-
MIA act applicable to federal prisoners in
Pennsylvania. Upon this point I have
reached certain conclusions which I shall
structions to the United States attorneys
for the three judicial districts Of that state
These conclusions may, however, affect the
other states, SO far as federal prisoners
are concerned. I may say at this time
that so far as federal prisoners are con.
cerned. the inequalities Of these commuta-
items in the various states seem to work
manifest injustice. Under the federal
statute federal prisoner receives COM
mutation of only five days in each month
without regard to the length of his term,
in states where no local Communication law
exists. and fail to see the justice Of CIV
ing Ieoeral prisoner In one part of the
country a communication Of five days only
and another confined in Pennsylvania or
New York under a similar sentence a more
liberal computation. In my judgm ept
ment Of federal prisoners"

McLAURIN ON DEMOCRACY,
South Carolina Senator Defines His
Political Position.

Laurin has sent to W. F. Clayton, prom
inent republican, a letter several thousand
words in length, replying to request from
him to define the difference between his
views and those claimed by the republi-
cans.
Senator McLaurin outlines the differences
between the Hamilton and Jefferson poll
cies, the victory of the latter which sub
sidized the Collins line Of steamships to
England and under Jackson made the first
reciprocity treaty. He continues;
1.-THE democrats never failed to correct
their errors. They lost no opportunity to
build up merchant marine. Once opposed
to internal improvements, democrats were
the first to advocate improvements Of the
Nicaragua canal and Pacific railroads.
They declared for free trade in 1s4s, fn-
cidental protection in 1868, tariff for reve-
nue. in 1880 and went further In 1884 and
1888. The party has been consistent, but
never stultified itself. 1t changed, with the
times.
II believe" he says, that the demo-
cratic party does not exist for the mere
purpose Of opposing what the republican
party may suggest"

ladies with whom Mrs. West had been
playing cards proposed to tell her fortune.

Mrs. West had but two more weeks of life:
Two days later Mrs. West complained Of
feeling i'll and returned to her home in
Duluth. Eminent physicians were gathered
in consultation, but despite their best ef-
forts she died last Thursday, the last day
Of the fatal two weeks. The doctors in at
tendance upon Mrs. West say that the for
tune telling undoubtedly exerted an influ-
ence to produce the womans death.
