III al general explained his plans
gz@ General Howe had pursued
him relentlessly through the
Jerseys until he had crossed into Penn
Bylvsnia, only escaping further pursuit
and certain defeat because he had had
the fOrethought to- seize every boat up
( on the Delaware and fits tributaries for
miles In every direction and bring
them with his army to the west bank
OF the river, so that Howe was unable
To cross. The English general had
threatened, however, to wait until the
river was frozen and then cross on the
tee and, after brushing aside the mis-
cradle remains OF Washlngton,s army,
zqarch on to Philadelphia and establish
szimseIf in the rebel capital. Making
that most serious of mistakes for
military map of. despising his oppo-
nents, Howe had scattered his army
for convenience in quartering in va
rious small detachments along the riv-
er. The small American army, supple
mented by the Pennsylvania militia,
had been placed opposite. the different

The fortunes of the country were at
me lowest ebb. But there was to be
speedy reversal OF conditions, and the
world was to learn how dangerous
man was leading the Continental
troops Washington, to whom a re-
treat was as hateful as it had been
necessary. had long meditated an at
tack whenever any chance whatever
OF success might present itself The
necessity for a change was apparent
not merely for the material result
which, would flow from victory, but
for thA moral effect as well. The fan
cied seRurity of the enemy, their ex-
posed positions, disconnected from
each othAr, and the contempt they felt
for his OWN troops, were large factors

another fac&or had still more weight,

EXPRESS CAR ON FIRE.
Trolley Wire Started Blaze and De-
partment Was Called.

An express car on the Rock Island
tracks caught fire at noon from a troll
ley wire falling on the car roof. The
gas leaking from a tank caught fire at
the same time.
The accident occurred at noon while
the railroad baggage and express cars
containing the equipment of the state
militia were being transferred from the
railroad tracks to the street railway
tracks at Second and Van Buren, streets
the express cars are higher than the
street cars and at the crossing at Sec
ond street the trolley wire and the feed
wire which leads to the trolley were
broken The trolley wire fell on the ex-
press car and short circuited it.
Gas was leaking from the gas tank
underneath the car and the electric cur
rent set the escaping gas on fire. The
fire department was called but the fire
was extinguished without doing any
considerable damage to the car. The
car was loaded with supplies for Camp
Bailey but the contents were not dam
aged.
The street railway power plant was
shut down for an hour while repairs
were being made to the wires, during
which time no street cars were operated
in any portion of the city.

MOxEY IS HERE.
Expert Accountant Will Aid in Check
ing State Books.

Edward P. Moxey, of Philadelphia,
sometimes known as silent" Moxey,
the expert accountant whom the federal
government generally employs for its
difficult cases, is in Topeka today.
With him is ]. D. Buckingham, who is
one of the accountants of the Moxey
Expert Accounting association, and
they have commenced the work of
checking up the states accounts with
Charles M. Rowett, the state account
ant.
When Governor Bailey arranged with
Mr. Mickey for an accountant from his
t1rm to aid Mr.. Rowett, it was with the
understanding that Mr.. Moxey himself
would give the investigation as much
OF his personal attention as possible,
and it is to fulfill this promise that
Mr.. Moxey is here. He said he will
probably remain several days. Mr..
buckingham will remain as long as his
services are necessary.
Mr.. Moxey stated that the investiga-
ton would be under the direction of
State Accountant Rowett. So far Mr..
RoWetts work has been largely pre-
urninary, getting matters into shape
where two men can work rapidly in
checking the accounts over.
When questioned as to what shape
the investigation would take, Mr.. Mox-
ey said he did not know-that it would
be determined after they got into the
books. Neither did he yet know how
great would be the scope of the investi-
cation.
DO you expect to find anything GRIM
inal in the accounts, or just some err
rOrS?" he was asked.
I'VE do not look for anything crini-
nal" he said. That is not what we
look for. We look to see if the books
are right"
Mr. Moxey and Mr.. Buckingham start
ed in the work this morning by having
State Accountant Rowett explain the
system in vogue in the state auditors
office by which check is kept on the

WILL DESERT HoCH.
Delegate Smith, of wichita, Announces
Himself for Dale for Governor.

Oscar 2. Smith of Wichita, who was
delegate to the national Republican
convention and who is the member
of the Republican state central COM
mitteeg from Sedgwick county, has
bolted E. w. Hoch and has come out
for Judge David M. Dale for governor.
This is the first Republican of any
great prominence who has come out
against Mr.. Hoch. There has been
opposition to others on the state tick
ct, and some of the rank and file have
Marion man. Mr.. Smith is the first
one of prominence to make this dec
laration. He has been a Republican
all his life. He voted for General
Grant when he became of age, and he
has voted for every Republican can
didate for president since that time.
On local issues, Mr.. Smith sometimes
has bolted Republican candidates, but
Mr.. Hoch is the first candidate of the
party for governor that he has re-
fused to support, unless it was Cover
nor St. John, who forced his candi-
dacy, for third term in 1882. His
opposition to Mr.. Hoch is not on ac-
count of the latter's prohibition rec
ord. He may object to that and it
may intensity his opposition, but the
ground upon which he puts his bolt
is his personal and political friendship
for Governor Bailey who was turned
down to make room for Mr.. Hoch.
Regardless of the public sentiment
that was behind the movement that
overthrow Governor Bailey, and of the
voice of the people at the primaries.
Mr.. Smith believes that snap Judgment

WHY THEY LIKE MIR. BRYAN.

Tine Republicans have discovered a
mighty liking for Mr.. Bryan" remarks
the Louisville Courier-Journal. Where
upon the Rochester Democrat and
Chronicle says:
well, the Republicans have always
liked Mr. Bryan as a man. While un-
compromisingly opposing his monetary
scheme and his views on other questions
of public policy, they have admired his
personal chara cteristics. Mr. Bryan
honesty is unquestionable, his convic-
tions are deeply rooted. his sincerity is
obvious, and his frankness is admirable.
Ask him square question and you will
get a square answer every time
Mr.. Bryan was never known to con-
ceal his views on an important question
in dispute in order to curry favor with
the disputants on both sides. He never
sought a presidential nomination by a
campaign of reticence. He would scoru
to strive for such an honor by keeping
silent on subject Of controversy. know
ing that a declaration either way would
take him out Of the race. He would
rather let the prize go than capture it
from ambush and subsequently make
an impossible offer to give it back
Yes. the Republicans like Mr.. Bryan
They don't want him for president, but
they can't help thinking well of him as
one whose dealings are above board and
whose political wherea bouts is at all
times known to all men,
The Chronicle might have added
truthfully that men such as it declares
Mr. Bryan to be nave not been elect
ed to the presidency. Henry Clay was
that sort of man; so was James G.
Blaine. Successful candidates are those
who can make speeches and write let
tiers without saying anything that can
not be lodged later if occasion should
arise.

WHEAT UP TWO CENTS.
Damage Reports From Ontario Cause
Another Bulge.

Chicago, Aug. 15.-Wheat prices add
vanced 21s@Ac. on the board of trade
today. The strength held well until the
close. The September option finished
an even two cents over the close of Sat
urday. Startling advices that whole
fields of wheat in southwestern Ontario
had been winter killed and information
from railway sources that in Mime
sofa and the Dakotas there had been
damage from rust estimated at Is to 20
per cent of the crop, caused the bulge.
The early tone was nervous and uncer
tain but the market rapidly gained
strength, the high point being reached
almost at the close.
