A HOT CAMPAIGN.

The New York mayoralty campaign is
waxing hot and promises to be one Of
the most interesting and exciting in the
history of that city. No confident pre-
diction can be made as to the result, but
present conditions seem to favor the re-
election of Mayor Mcclellan, the Tam
many candidate. That he will receive
the full support of that organization,
however, is not assured, it being quite
possible that Hearst, the municipal
ownership candidate, will draw from the
element usually affiliated with Tam
many He is making a strong fight and
paign all the money that may be re-
quired. 1t is suggested that Mcclellan
may get some republican votes through
fear of Hearst The republican candi.
date William NJ. WINS, is carrying on a
vigorous canvass, with good government
as his shibboleth. The New York Mail
expresses the opinion that IL he should
poll every republican vote he will be
elected, but II is not probable that be
can do so, The danger of Hearst is very
likely to send some republican voters
to Mcclellan.
Not the least interesting feature Of
the campaign is the independent candl
dacy OF District Attorney Jerome fol
reelection. He has made a fine record
in office and has large and enthusiastic
following. It is a very lively contest
with the chances in favor of the success
of the Tammany candidate.

The chief of stan Of the army has before
him the text of the bill providing for a
national reserve, together with an argu-
ment which was prepared by Captain
Joseph T. Dckman. Of the Eighth cavalry,
and of the Third division of the general
stan. The draft and an explanation were
submitted from the Third division with
simple letter of transmittal. Copies of the
bill and the accompanying document have
been furnished TO members of the general
stan in confidence with the request that
there be careful examination of the
measure with a view to a full and frank
discussion of its provisions in a session of
the full committee to be held at an early
date. The project does not go beyond the
provision of force which may be utilized
in time OF war or in the emergency of II
to the extent of increasing the regular army
to its authorized strength OF 100000 men.
There is no attempt to create reserve
force by the employment OF the militia or
to encroach in any degree upon the state
soldiery organization or to form large
volunteer body beyond the limitations of
augumenting the regular establishment.
This is considered OF the utmost import
ance and quite within the legitimate scope
OF the national authorities. 1t Is con-
sentative measure which provides the ready
and certain means OF acquiring trained
soldiers who shall be able TO go into the
field fully equipped and fll out to their
complement the infantry, cavalry and
artillery commands II ought to be appre-
ciated by congress that that much may
be properly accomplished as a measure OF
precaution: the lack of such a provision
/ is apt to be a costly negligence in the end.
Such a reserve force, it is proposed, shall
/ be composed OF soldiers and marines who
/ have demonstrated their ability to shoot,
who have had at least two years military
service and who possess honorable dis
charges. It is provided that members OF
| the reserves shall serve at least ten days
! in every year I'm drill OF on the target
ranges that they shall be provided with a
uniform; that, during the actual annual
service, they shall receive the pay and al
lowances allowed by law to enlisted men
OF their respective positions; that they shall
be divided into three classes-sharpshooter
who shall receive $50 per year; marksmen.
who shall receive SIS per year. and men
in the first class. who shall receive t26
per year. reservist Of the latter class
may be advanced II at any time he shall
demonstrate his right to belong to the other
two classes OF course. congress will
promptly ask the expense OF all this and
Il viii be shown that the cost Of main
tenance has the quality OF good invest
ment The reserve force will probably
require an increase OF les than per
cent OF the annual army appropriation
which is modest enough when IL is con-
sidered that without such a reserve body
in this country the haste, hazards and
cost OF recruiting an unframed body OF
soldiers in the last hour before conflict
would be calamatous.

The army signal officers believe they have
made important discoveries in regard to the
process of generating hydrogen in con-
nection with the operation of the balloon
train This has been one OF the important
objects Of investigation at home and
abroad, and 1t appears that this govern
ment has made substantial progress in the
development of the means of providing
hydrogen by a system which is simple and
economical in operation. Hitherto the diff
culties in providing gas for a balloon have
well nigh rendered that vehicle of little
use in a military way. although the Euro
peans have accomplished considerable in
their experiments. II is not known generally
to just what extent the balloon serves a
military purpose. and there have always
been those who doubted its value when II
was taken into consideration that 1t was
not easy to provide hydrogen. If this OBJ
stacle has been removed it is realized that
an important contribution has been made
to the efficiency of the military balloon.

The war department has decided II may
be more liberal I'm the construction OF the
law which relates to the militia allotment.
Certain cavalry troops OF the militia of
South Dakota engaged in a practice march
for instruction and in that connection Il be-
came necessary TO make use Of wagon
transportation TO some extent. The In
structions OF the War department have
hitherto been to the effect that such ex-
penditures are not payable out OF the state
allotment, but It is now the ruling OF the
department that the view hitherto held IL
based upon what may perhaps be regarded
as too strict an Interpretation of the law
and 1t is decided that I'm cases like the
present, where the expenditure is reason
able and necessary ITO the movements OF
troops, etc., who are engaged in practice
marches IL will be allowed.
Reports received at the War department
continue to give gratifying information
concerning the success of the training
school for bakers and cooks at Fort Riley,
Kan, in the conduct of which Captain M
S. Murray of the subsistence department
has been rendering valuable service. 1t is
considered as a good idea that there be in

SOCIALISTS FIGHT
COMPFRS' UNIONS
American Federation of Labor

NEW YORK. April According to
President Samuel Gompers of the
American Federation of Labor, the
socialists of the country are now
making the greatest attack ever made
on the federation. The socialist fac
ton under Eugene ". Debs of Chi

Gompers has recommended that no

HAMBURG, April 1.-The supreme
court here today rendered decision
In the case of the pearl, valued at over
$3.50, found by woman who, accom-

oyster. The court pointed out that il
the ownership Of the pearl were to re-
pose In the restaurant proprietor in

j. P.'s Cousin Dies in Poor.
house Like a Hero

Special to The Globe
WISNER, Neb., April Claiming
to be a cousin of j. Pierpont Morgan,
master of many millions, John Nc
Grogan died the other day in Ne
braska county poorhouse, and was
brought to his old home here for burial.
McGrogan's story is accepted here as
true, because he was a long time resi-
dent of this county, and the family had
always been accepted as relatives of
the great f1nancier. They had, how
ever, never maintained any family re-
lations, and John McGrogan, when his
health failed and he found himself an
invalid for life, would not apply for
help to his famous cousin.
McGrogan's relationship to the New
York millionaire came through his
mother, whose maiden name was Mary
Morgan. She was, according to the
story of the family, a full cousin to ].
of Junius Spencer Morgan, father of
]. p. Morgan. Mrs. McGrogan is IS
years old and lives here. Her story of
the relationship is apparently straight,
and there is no doubt that she and her
children implicitly believe it. They
have been disposed to attract as little
attention as possible, for though highly
respectable, and worthy people, they
seem to have considered themselves
poor representatives Of family that
has achieved so much fame and finan-
cial success. Hugh McGrogan, a
younger brother of the man who has
just been buried, has been the head
of the family for several years
Both Hugh McGrogan and his moth
er protested against publicity Of their
relationship to the financier. Espe-
cially did they object to publicity Of
the fact that John McGrogan died in
the Douglas county poor farm. urging
that the family was in no straits which
made this necessary, but rather that IL
was his own wish. He had been an In
valid and a charge on his family for
several years, and when he was in
formed that he was suffering from an
incurable trouble he insisted on being
sent to the hospital at the Douglas
county farm In order that he should
not longer burden the family. And
there he died like hero, uncomplain-
Ing, unwilling TO ask help where he
was certain 1t could have been had.

CINCINNATI, o., April IF these

This remark was made by Mrs.
Smith, according to Detective Aiken,
after she had intrusted certain letters
to his keeping directly following her
husbands arrest. A fight for the pos
session of these letters is now prom
ised as the next development of the
Nan Patterson case, so far as the Gin
cinnati connection with the case is con-
cerned. Attorney Shay today demand
ed the return Of the letters from the
detective. When that officer refused
the attorney announced that he would
take the matter into the courts Mon
day and compel the delivery of the let
ters. threatening to cause the detec-
tives arrest.
Detective Aiken said today when ap-
pealed to by Mrs. Smith concerning
the letters he supposed they were of
minor Importance and entirely uncon-
| nected with the case and therefore he
had promised to care for them. After
| they had been turned over to him, he
; said that Mrs. Smith made the above
declaration, which caused him to
change his intention, and he turned
them over to the local police for safe
keeping until the papers can be deliv-
cred to District Attorney Jerome. At
least four of the letters are said to be
very important. Among them is a let
ter from H. L." who telegraphed
Smith the day of his arrest:
Keep your mouth shut. New York
will attend to your case"
This II. L." letter is addressed to
''Tessie," which Aiken says is one of
the names assumed by Mrs. Smith In
her wanderings last August while
Alex" according to Aiken, is Morgan
Smith. The letter is:
Dear Tessie: We are sending you to-
day some more money. This is the last
we have and God knows where any more
is coming from. Hereafter Alex and you
must do the best you can without our
help, but whatever you do keep him away
from New York. We are all driven to
desperation and the suspense is awful.
God knows what will happen. Do not let
him come back to New York. III. l..
Tonight Mrs. Smith reiterated her
statement that 100000 could be raised
in their defense by Smiths friends.
