The pursuing party, however, kept growing In numbers and increas- ing their armament and a fusillade was kept up from every side of the structure. the attacking party taking refuge In field of tall wheat. Stef7en would occasionally appear at the window on the east side of the house. evidently intending to pick off some one of the party of four who had crawled up to take an advantageous position.

For one thing. By ans is a Sampson man and Chandler Is a Schley man. Chandler during President Arthur's administration. was Secretary of the Navy, and druing that period Evans was in charge of the Baltimore district lighthouse beard being assigned by Secretary Chandler. 4 few months ago Evans wrote a book wherein he said in plain language that. during the time when Secretary Chandler was in charge of the United States Navy. low politics had more to do with the conduct of naval affairs than at any period in the history of the country.
 When Chandler read that he wrote a letter to the Navy Department de- manding that Evans retract. Secretary Long paid no attention to Chandler's letter. Then Chandler wrote 10 Evans direct, asking him to retract his lam guage. Evans paid no attention. To- day Chandler filed with the Navy De- partment formal charges agaius' Evans. charging him with conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentle man. and upon those charges, coming from a man of Chandler's high po- litical standing, some attention must necessarily be paid.
 If the Navy Department should ig- nore Chandlers request il Is thought
 he will find some way Of forcing things to an issue.

After the shooting of President
Mckinley, on Friday, Sept. 9Th,
the indications became so favorable
for his recovery, that the announce.

out of danger. Many of those
nearest to him had left his bedside,

and the President began to sink,
action of the heart weakened, and
this condition continued until 2:l5
Saturday morning, when the chief
of-the American Republic passed
away, the victim of an assassin
bullet.
The grief of the American nation
IN this hour of distress is apparent
from all quarters and from all
classes. That so genial All midi

Kinley, the chosen chief of this
great nation, should fall victim
to the degenerate murderous wh,m
Of such human deform;,y as rep
resented IN the person of the assas-
sin fills with horror the heart of
every true patriot.
The body of the President was
taken to the Capitol Building, in
Washington, where ii lay i'll state
on Tuesday, and was taken from
there to his late home, in Canton,
Ohio, where the lE,erment took
place Thursday afternoon. with
honors fitting his high position.
Mourning services were held
throughout the entire country, and
expressions of sympathy were re-
ceived from all nations throughout
the civilized world. May our late
honorcd and martyred President
rest in peace, aud his cowardty
assassin speedily meet with de-
served and despicable fate.
