announced that Mr.. Roosevelt has had con-
ference with eenator Hanna and Postmaster
General Payne at which an understanding
bad been reached concerning the appoint
ment OF federal officers in southern States.
The President is keen bent on securing

all his opponents. Mr.. Hanna, it has al

The talk OF tariff revision among
republicans is growing stronger in both
houses, and antitrust legislation OF
some kind is being urged as a political
necessity. Representative Roberts, OF
Massachust TIE, is circulating petition
among the republicans OF the House
calling for a caucus of the party, at
which the question of considering the
necessity for tariff revision shall be dis
cussed and, If possible, programme for
party action shall be adop, ed. There
are a number of the older members OF
the party who thiok that to talk OF re-
vising the schedules of the Dingley law
is a confession that the republ can posi-.
tion, when the law was enacted, was
wrong. They declare that the tariff lie
getting along very we'll, and that 1t
is policy to Let we'll enough alone.
More active members, who see the
growing sentiment of opposition to the

ally Injurious to business, tell their
obstinate colleagues that II the republi
cans do not agree to revise the tariff it
is very probable that the democrats
will secure control OF the House and
tear the present law to pieces. The |
democrats have won victories before on |
the tariff question and this should he
the main issue in the fall elections. |
The people are tired Of being taxed to
death that few men, by means OF
trusts and combines, may increase their
immense wealth, and the time Ia ripe
now to check the growing power Of
these combinations by removing the
duties oD every thing controlled by
trusts.

WEDNESDAY EVENING. MAY 7. 1902
1,rr Dispatch received 10 this

LATE DISPATCH received 10 this
office yesterday afternoon announced
that Admiral Sampson was dying
Shortly after five o'clock another
message came announcing his death.
The news was no surprise to most
neople. as it had been known for
nearly year that his condition was
critical, that bis strength was ebDlng
daily and his death matter OF snort
time For nearly four years the ad'
miral had been q prominent figure In
the world from the fact that he was In
command OF the North Atlantic squad
rors at the time it destroyed Admiral
Ceryera's feet at Santiago. Although
not In the battle nor on the scene until
the smoke had about cleared away,
(the fleet having been annihilsted by
Admiral Schley who was 10 command
during the sdmira's absence), the latter
strangely appropriated to himself all
the honors and his friends have ever
since been attempting to cast the real
hero into an eclipse. The obscura'
tioDs, however, have been but partial
and temporary, and now that the con-
testant for the honor has paid the debt
of nature and entered a realm where
personal jeslousies are unknowp. the
vexstons and disputes 10 connec-
ton with the singular claim of the
deceased, it is hoped, are at an cod.
From the dawn OF history men, real
ling that they were ilumined by
reflected light, have first grown uneasy
aud finally spiteful toward the real orbs,
and Admiral Sampson, Dtlemsn,
scholar and expert naval officer as he
may have been, manifested the same 10
trinity when he realized the sad cir
cumstances which prevented him from
being the hero of Santiago, and that no
matter what "a mpts his admirers
might make to despoll ScDley OF his lau-
rels, posterity would surrey keep hem
green, despite the fact that the Mary
lander was under the frowns of a hostile
administration. The result might have
bsen the same had Admiral Sampson
been at Santiago from the beginning to
the end OF the battle. It's, however, the
old story of King Saul and David. The
former hsrnessed the shepherd youth
10 his own psnoply Of war and sent
h I'm forth to risk bis life with Goliath
OF Gath. David was victorious, AID
when the multitude exclaimed, saul
hae killed his thousands and David bis
tens of thoueands." the heart Of the
Israelitish King was turned against the
youth. He was his mortal enemy from
that time forth and lived and died con.
scious of the fact that his successor
would cast him into a total eclipse.
Such is a specimen Of the sad ex'

hardly likely that he will enter the

Marlboro, Nd, that a 5-year-old girl

supposed to be asleep in the garrett Of
the house, aud hanged her to the BAN
listers until life was almost extinct.
Then with a blow with pair OF fire
toDgs she crushed 10 the little ones
head. The woman then took the body,
il is said, to an clubhouse and cut of the
hair to prevent Identification. Early
10 the morning the eldest girl was sent
out to search for the missing child.
This girl whose name is said TO be
Sarah, had heard the noise of the kill
ing of her sister and had been kept
awake through the greater part of the
night by the groAns OF her dying sister.
She notified her father, who worked a
number OF miles away from his home.

PREACHERS AT FAULT.

The steamer Celtic arrived at New
York day or two ago with eight hun
bred and forty excursionists aboard
who had made trip up the Mediter-
ranean, having visited Egypt, the Holy
Land and most Of the points Of interesl
10 the old world. AS may have been
expected, the trip was greatly enjoyed,
especially by the studious, who had
seen the places OF which they had so
often read emerge from the picture
books and appear in their original
shapes. IL seems that the only persons
who disturbed the peace and harmony
of the trip were preachers, who were
dissatisfied with the way that
the excursion bad been managed.
The other passengers blamed the minis
ters and their wives and daughters for
the unpleasant occurrences tina Il had
taken place. At Malta 1t is said that
the clegymen pushed their way into
the small bosts that came alongside to
take them ashore, and so unseemly was
their action that q rule-'ClergymeD

was adopted which proved in measure
