Of the prairies and mountains and the ex-
citement of hunting big game. He told
Senator Mitchell of Oregon that nothing
would please him so much as a chance to
spend month in the Businesses of the
Rockies hunting for mountain lions and
grizzly bears.
Its too bad" said Senator Mitchell,
sympathetically, that you cannot make
arrangements to take an outing"
Alas! | am afraid my days of shooting,
Of hunting and enjoying myself in the
mountains are over, for time at least,
said the president, and he sighed dismally
at the prospect.
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
was recent caller at the White House.
The senator called simply to pay his re-
spects, and he was surprised at the size
OF the crowd that was waiting When the
senator's turn came he delivered homily
on the confinement that presidents must
undergo by virtue of being the ruler OF
S0,O00,O00 of people.
For my part said the senator, II am
going back to North Dakota, where the
prairies are boundless and where the soul
feels nothing but the exhilaration of free
DOM
''Hansbrough don't talk like that" said
the president sharply, and then he s1nil-
ingly laid hand on the shoulder OF the
senator and said: 'Hansbrough, I'd like to
go with you. I'd give good deal for
sniff of that bracing air"

A PLUMP FIGURE.
flakes First-cIass, Telling Argument.

About year ago a doctor and his
wife came to board with us. We already
had Miss G., who was at that time thin
and yellow and considerably out of health.
The first morning the new boarders
came TO the table as guests, the young
lady remarked as she set her cup down,
This is coffee!' while the doctor added,
Not at all like the poor coffee they have
been giving us at the hotel | smiled be-
hind my napkin and asked if either of
them ever used Postum Food Coffee. The
doctor said he had tasted it, but it was
weak, miserable stuff. Miss G. had heard
OF it and wished she could try it,
i said nothing, but at the end of three
months, when Miss G. was ready to leave
US for a new field of labor, said, I have
been giving you Postum Food Coffee all
the time you have been here What, is
that coffee, Postum she said re-
marked that / had noticed with great
pleasure, her daily gain in health. and
now that she was leaving us after onlv
three months at our table, she had rosv
cheeks and plump figure, which was all
the argument any one needed to prove the
fact that she had been we'll cared for. and
the reason for her gain in health was
the use Of Postum Food Coffee. for no
other change had been made of any ac-
count in her food
1.-THE doctor was very much delighted
with the experiment, and discovered that
where he had tried Postum before, he had
been unfortunate in having it underboiled.
Postum must be boiled fifteen or twenty
minutes to bring out the delicious favor.
and then it will suit the taste of any
one" Mrs. Florence Dougherty, Placer

From The journal Bureau. Room 4S. Pos,

Washington, Oct. 4.-Indian Commits
sioner Jones returned from his trip to the
northwest to-day. Immediately upon his
arrival at the department he saw Secre-
tary Hitchcock and went over with him
the results of his investigations. in a gen
eral way. He did not submit detailed re-
ports which he had received from Special
Agent O'Neil and Captain Mercer. who
conducted the rescale of illegally cut tim
Der. Both secretary and commissioner re-
fused to say anything about what these
reports show. Commissioner Jones said
he had lodged reporters while in Mime
sofa and did not purpose to give out any
information until the secretary had been
acquainted with all the facts and was
ready to act upon the reports. This may
take some time.
The commissioner also talked with the
secretary about the case Of Captain Hard
ing, agent at Yaukton, s. D.. who is under
charges, but nothing was decided. 1t is
probable that nothing was decided. 1t is
matter until Senator Kittredge has had
an opportunity to present Captain Hard
ing's side to the secretary in person.
Kittredge will probably be here in a few
days.
Possibly the Minneapolis invitation to
Herbert Putnam to be the guest Of the
city while he is in the west to attend
the Iowa library convention at Burling-
ton, may not reach him in time to be
acted on. The invitation reached Wash
ington all right but Putnam was not here.
1t was forwarded to New York, where he
was at last reports, but may not catch him
there. From New York he goes to San
dusky, and thence to Burlington. His
secretary regards it as doubtful whether
the Minneapolis invitation overtakes him.

Deep Significance of the Testimony
of Lieut.. Doyle.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Admiral Sampson s
name was brought into the court of in
quiry and placed in what the Schley ad-
herents claim a disadvantageous light.
They laid the foundation to establish that
Schley warned Sampson the night be-
fore the battle of Santiago that there were
suspicious movements in the vicinity of
the Spanish fleet. The Inference left was
that although Schley did his duty and
warned Sampson, the latter sailed away
the following morning and was absent
when Cevera's fleet tried TO escape a. few
hours later.
Lieutenant James G. Doyle divisional
ofticer on the Brooklyn, was on the stand
when this development appeared. He said
that Schley saw smoke in the harbor the
night Of July 2, and that he believed the
commodore notified the commander-in-
chief, Admiral Sampson The Schley side
is elated over the admission of this evil
dence, which the attorneys assert shows
that Schley performed his duty, while
Sampson left his post, notwithst tanding
reports OF suspicious movements by the
enemy.
Proof of the fact that Schley told Samp-
son of the enemy's suspicious movements
July is considered a great point by
Schley's partlsanS. They declare ii shows
not only that Schley was attending to his
duty the day before the battle. which is
important, but that Sampson was warned
that battle was imminent and took the
New York and sailed away the following
morning. Privately the attorneys for the
defense are intensely gratifled, believing
the public will hold the opinion that
Sampson had good reason to expect the
Spanish squadron to appear soon vet
left on the eve Of battle. In other words,
the SchleV men contend that +ba,- 49,
proved that Sampson voluntarily turned
aside from the conflict after being warned
by Schley and that the latter therefore
is plainly entitled to credit for winning
the battle.
Additional significance is placed on
Lieutenant Doyle's testimony because he
was summoned by the department. His
name is also on the list of Schley wit
nesses, but Attorney Rayner developed
the Sampson warning incident on his
appearance for the department. to give his

STRUGGLE WAS FIERCE
Boer Casualties at Fort Italia Ex-
ceeded 400.

Dundee. Natal, Oct 4.-The Boer attack
on Fort Italia proves to have been a far
bigger engagement than could be gathered
from the first reports The casualties on
both sides indicate the ferceness of the
struggle. The Boer casualties are now
estimated at over 400. The British pr1s-
oners saw sixty Beers buried on farms,
and assisted in carrying off seventy-fve
wounded. The Beers informed the pris-
oners saw sixty Beers buried on farms,
Italia garrisoned only 100 strong. The
burghers lost more men than in any prevl-
Gus action this year.
There seems no doubt that the Beers
intended a combined invasion Of Natal
east and west. 1t is stated that General
De Wet ordered the burghers in the
northeastern part Of Orange River
colony to concentrate at Talekop, but
up to now the only result of the move
ment has been the isolated invasion OF
Natal by a small commando. which can
easily be driven back. British Officers
who were recently prisoners say that Gem
eraI Botha's men and horses are in good
condition, but the mems clothing is In
poor state. The British prisoners have
been deprived of nearly everything they
possessed. The main body Of the Beers
is still near the Zululand frontier.

Montreal, Oct. 4.-The second defeat of
Shamrock II. has revived both here and in
Toronto the talk about a Canadian chal-
lenger for the Americas cup. There are
two groups of men who have evinced
some intention of challenging. One is
headed by Commodore Gooderham of To-
ronto and of the Royal Canadian Yacht
Club. Gooderham is immensely wealthy,
and his sporting diversions run to fine
horses and yachts. Ex-Commodore Jar
Wis of Toronto would be the manager of
the boat. The other group is composed
Of ex-Commodore James Ross of the Royal
st. Lawrence Yacht Club, the street railway
king, and with him would be President
Whitney of the Dominion Stel and Iron
company of Sydney, c. B., and a number of
it's shareholders. The Toronto syndicate
would probably have their boat designed
in England, but the iron and steel syndi-
cate would have George Herrick Diggan
design and manage her.

from pursuing General Delarey, who at

fact that many of his horses were killed
The latest news from Zululand is that IN
the recent fighting at Prospect and ltala
the Beers lost most heavily. Some reports
state that they had 200 killed in both
fights. The Beers rushed the posts across
open ground, thinking that they were
weakly held, whereas they had strong
garrisons The attacking force was the
main body of General Botha's army, with
himself in command. Very few Beers are
now within the Zulu border They have
mostly retreated north.

Admiral Schley will retire from the active

Conferred With Sampson.

Commander Raymond P. Rodgers, who
was executive officer Of the battleship
Iowa in the summer of 1898, testified to
leaving Key West on May 20 for Cienfue
gos to join the flying squadron. Before
leaving he had, as a representative OF
Captain Evans, he said, conference with
Commander in Chief Sampson, at which
Captains Taylor and Chadwick were pres
ent. At that time he was told by Ad-
miral Sampson that he had received in
forma tion from the department at Wash
ington that the Spanish fleet under Ger
vera probably was in the harbor of San
tiago. He had, however, not been in
formed Of any secret code for communi-
eating with the Cuban insurgents near
Cienfuegos. He had taken dispatches for
Commodore Schley, and while not GER
taine whether there was more than one
package, he was under the impression
there was more. One of the dispatches
carried at this time was, the witness
thought, that signed by Secretary Long
and dated Washington, 1890 O'Clock, May
20. and beginning:
The report of the Spanish fleet being at
Santiago de Cuba might very we'll be correct,
so the department strongly advises that YOU
send word Immediately by the Iowa to Schley
to proceed off Santiago with his whole com
mand, leaving one small vessel at Cienfuegos.
The afternoon session began with Cap
tain Rodgers still on the stand. He stated
that he was the senior member of the
naval board Of survey appointed by Ad-
miral Sampson to examine the wrecked
Spanish vessels.
Effect of the BroOLIyn's Gunnery.
The purpose of this line of examination
was to bring out the witness knowledge
concerning the effect of the Brooklyn 8
gunnery in the battle Of Santiago, July 3.
Captain Rodgers stated that the Brooklyn
was the only vessel that fired fve-inch
shells, and Mr.. Rayner said that a care
ful computation based upon the report
Of the board of survey showed that twelve
five-inch shells had been found on the
four Spanish vessels.
Mr.. Rayner presented a statement
showing the number of shells found on the
vessels of the Spanish fleet and the wit
ness was asked to state the percentage
Of f1ve-inch shells, assuming the state
ment to be correct. Captain Rodgers re-
piled that the total number of hits was
thirty-five and that therefore the five-inch
shell hits constituted "a per cent Of all the
hits. Mr.. Rayner said that the statement
had been prepared by Admiral Schley
Threat to Summon Sampson.
The question as to whether the word
in the ''Dear Sohley'' letter should be
Santiago or Cienfuegos again came UP on
statement by Captain Lemly, who said
he would continue to hold to the Santiago
version. Mr.. Rayner then said if this was
the case he would be compelled to sum-
mon Admiral Sampson, the author OF the
dispatch, as witness.
