Wife Was Not Informed-Under-
taker George c. Upright today re-
ceived letter from Mrs Lena Volpert,
1888 Olive street, st. Louis, Mo-, in
quiring as to the fate of Fred Volpert,
one of the men who was killed in the
Northern Pacific stock train wreck at
Driscoll several weeks ago. Mrs.
Volpert said in her letter that she had
heard nothing except rumor that her
husband was dead, and she inquired
what disposition had been made of
the body and whether her husband had
left any money, as he had left her and
her four little children in st. Louis
unprovided for. Undertaken Upright
says nothing was known here about
Volpert's wife at the time Of the acct.
dent, as the only letter found on him
was from his brother in New Albany
Ind, to whom word was sent and who
requested that the body be shipped to
him. This was done. It Is peculiar
that the brother did not inform Vol
pert's wife Of her husbands death
Undertaken Upright today wrote Mrs
Volpert telling her of the facts in the
case and sending her the newspaper
account of her husbands death.

they have devoted to It, what they con-

against Judge Parker was the claim
that David B. Hill would be President

control his cabinet. Now comes Sena-

liable, and announces positively that
on Jan. next he will retire from all
political activities whatsoever, that
after that date he will neither seek
nor accept any Office whatsoever, and
that he will give up the leadership Of
the party in New York state. Conse-
quently the Republican editors and
spellbinders will have to find some
brand new reason why Judge Parker
should not be elected. Most people
whether they like or agree with Sena.

Yates Versus cuIlom.

who is one Of the most successful get
ters Of offices now on the boards, an.
pears to be UP against It hard in his
efforts to secure reelection. Govern
or Dick Yates is hotfoot after Uncle
+, Shelby's senatorial toga and is losing
10 points in the game. When elected
to the governorship Richards habitat
was Jacksonville, but he has declared
his intention Of establishing his domi-
Gle at Springfield when his term ex-
pires. The rub to this is that Spring
field is also the home Of Senator Gull
}om. Therefore it is clear as crystal
that Yates intends to fight the senator
for the Sangamon delegation, one of
the largest in the state, which Uncle
Shelby has carried in his pocket for, TO-
these many years. There is likely to be
hot time in the old town Of Spring
field when they lock horns, and the
fur, hair and bits of cuticle will fill the
circumambient atmosphere. "Youtf

Yates may beat the veteran, but thu
chances are in favor of the latter, al
he will no doubt have the aid and com

TT WAS DIscREp1rABLE.

The more light that Is thrown on that spectacular dispatch of Secretary Hay. the plainer it becomes that 1t was done for political effect While it was ostensibly sent to our Consul at Tam gier it was really Intended for the con vention then in session in Chicago, In an effort to create some interest in what was very insipid and uninter- esting performance. "Perdicaris alive or Raisuli dead" was a bit of blatant bluster. typical of the administration. The New York Post epitomizes the facts in the case in this way:
 CD On Tuesday. June 21, the ransom of Perdicaris and Varley had been de- posted at Tangier and it was morally certain that they would be promptly about 3:sO p. m-, the Perdicaris dis patch was read at Chicago. Presum- ably there had been no delay in its transmission. and at 4:3o (Easter1 snsi simsp it n must cs,a have been sent simultan. could not allowing for the difference of time. have reached Consul Gummef fe at Tangier before s:3o p. m. O But y by that time 1t was thoroughly known, Hamlet, would leave early the next morning. with the ransom. for his six teen hours ride to Raisuli's camp. Now note that the famous dispatch could not have been received before the late evening of the 22d; that Raisuli was sixteen hours. by horseback. away in the mountains; that Mir Perdicaris. as ne told the representative of The Paris Herald, knew that the Sultan had granted all Raisuli's demands three days before the ministers were aware of 1t at Tangier;" finally that Raisull actually brought Perdicaris and Var ley to the rendezvous appointed at the time appointed.
 From all this 1t is perfectly plain that the matter was virtually settled before the dispatch of Hay was sent, and that he and Roosevelt knew 1t. When that dispatch reached Tangier- several hours after it had been read in the Chicago Convention-all the pre- liminaries had been arranged and only the actual transfer of the prisoner was to take place. Hay and the President could not have been ignorant of this. The whole thing was a bit of catch- penny bluster, an exhibition of cheap fireworks, eminentiy characteristic of the braggart at the head of the Gov ernment and of his scintillating Sec retary. It was an act of which any dignified Government would be heart Party can make any capital out of this picayune performance. they must be easily satisfied.
