MR.. LONG MUCH BETTER
FORMER SECRETARY OF THE NAVY
is IMPROVING STEADILY.
Succession of Bulletins Adds to the
Hope of His Friends-COnsciOus Part
of the Day, Resting Easily.

BOSTON, Feb. 1.-The reports to-day from
the bedside of Ex-Governor Long were of a
character to give renewed hope of his ulti-
mate recovery. The attending physician
and the few others in a position to know
positively have heretofore been reticent,
but the impression reflected from the bule-
tins of the past twenty-four hours was one
of encouragement, and those in attend
ance made no attempt tonight to conceal
the fact that the day had been very sat-
iSfactory from medical standpoint One
who is admitted to the sick chamber said
tonight:
There is no doubt that he is better
During the day the patient took a suffi-
cient amount of nourishment without trou-
BILE and exhibited strength that was looked
upon as gratifying. His mind was clearer
than for week past, and he was able to
recognize those about him well as to
converse briefly. His temperature. which
has varied slightly during the. past week,
any time since the critical turn i'm his ILL
ness week ago.
The first bulletin to-day was issued at IL
a. m. and was as follows: Mr.. Long
passed comfortable night and he seems
this morning to have made a slight i'm
provement in all respects"
This was followed by bulletin at $50
p. m, which read 'Mr. Long had a good
day, and his condition tonight is more ia
vorable."
The most hopeful news of the day came
at 10 o'clock, when the following bulletin
was given out: 'Mr. Long has had a very
comfortable day. He has been more ra-
tional, takes his food well and has as much
strength as can be expected. His temper
ature has been more nearly normal than
on any previous day.
At the late conference the doctors agreed
that the day had been a most satisfactory
one and that Mr.. Long showed unquestion-
able symptoms of Improvement. Mrs. Long
is almost constantly at the bedside of her
husband and was able to speak with him

A constant stream of messages of inquiry
has been received by the family, physi-
clans and hospital authorities. These have
come from all parts of the country, but
have of necessity, remained unanswered.

A Wartime Story.

gusto by awell-known Confederate
veteran residing not far from
Springfield, Tenn.
1T was just before the battle
of Gettysburg" he narrated, land
our regiment was camped tenn
porarily on the suburbs of pretty
little Pennsylvania town. There
was a small river flowing near the
camp, and one afternoon l suggest
ed to the boys in my company
that we all take a swim. 1t was
warm day and the fellows took to
the idea and likewise to the water
in less time than it takes to tell.
There were no houses in the immedi-
ate vicinity, but on a hillside,
about half a mile away, an old
spinster resided. We had been
swimming about for three-quarters
of an hour or more when small
farmers boy trudged into camp and
hunted up the captain. He bore a
note from the old maid which read:
"'Dear Sir-I wish you would
order your men out of the river. l

brothers field glasses.

sion. The retirement of Secretary
Root will prove source OF regret
to many besides the President, for
all who have come in contact with
the retiring Secretary have appre
ciated that regardless Of their at
titude towards the policy of the
Administration, Mr.. Root has per-
formed his duties with exceptional
ability and earnestness. His &C
complishment of the general staff
policy in the army and the virtual
restoration of peace in the Philip

Now, that the Postofiice investi
cation is nearing an end, promi-
nent Republican politicians are
fastening to Oyster Bay to exert
their influence on the President to
prevent full publication of Fourth
Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow's report. Just what answer
the President is making to these
appeals cannot be learned in Wash
ington, but it is known that before
leaving for Oyster Bay Mr.. Roose-
welt pledged his word that the en-
tire report would be made public
when the investigation was COM
plete and that no guilty person
should be shielded. 1t is known
that the report places in most
unenviable light many politicians.

tation, or because of the clever
ness with which they covered up
their tracks, have not been prose
cuted, and it is supposed to be the
friends of these who are pleading
with the President to suppress the
facts. 1t is believed, however,
chat the President will remember
The experience of Postmaster Gen
eraI Payne in attempting to sup
press Mr.. Bristow's reply to the
TuIloch charges, and will profit by
hat unfortunate blunder. That
he public will never be satisfied
until the full report has been made
and that it will regard any
lttempt at suppression by the Ad-
as a prima facie evil
lence of guilt, is evident from the
of the few editors who
nave already learned of the at
