then the heroic manhood OF Robert

equal to the emergency of holding his

against the powerful enemy.
The night after the battle, after TAX

AS l take it, upon fair and reason
able estimate, the relative strength of
the two armies the morning of Sep.
tember 18th would be about 10000
Confederates and 10000 Federals.
This would be placing the Confederate
loss at from 5000 to 10000 men, the
Federal loss at from 10000 to to IT,

stating situation of fact, now mat
ter of history, have no comment to
make as to the reason entertained by q
general with 10000 men declining
to engage in battle with another gen.
eral who did not have 10000 available
men.

each other; they we're in plain sight Of

So MANY CHIEFS
ON A VACATION
THAT "ANTLRED TAPE" CoMMIs
SION ADJOURNED.
Such a Wide Disparity In Prices Of
Purchases That Searching In
vestigatlon Is Needed.

Washington, June 29.-The "anti-red
tape" commission appointed by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to investigate all the
departments of government has decid-
ed to adjourn its work until autumn,
principally because so many bureau
chiefs and employees are on vacation
that an inquiry during the summer
would scarcely produce the desired re-
suits. AS far as they have gone, the in
vestigators have found curious condi-
tions, particularly IN the purchase Of
supplies. 1t has peen learned that in
one department ink costs $3.50, while
in another the price paid for the same
quality is Sc. Blotting paper in one
bureau is purchased for SO, and in
another for So. Although there is un-
doubtodly difference in the quality, the
committee thinks such wide disparity
is at least worth a searching investiga-
tion.
Government buildings in the various
cities of the country will be investi-
gated both as TO the cost and manner
of management. Some court and post
office buildings are notoriously i'll kept,
while in others the charge of mainte-
nance is too great. The committee to-
morrow morning will hold hearing at
the government printing office on the
purchase by Public Printer Palmer of
70 Lanston typesetting machines. The
Mergenthaler company here, Philip
T. Dodge and his attorneys, will do all
in their power to show that such a
large investment in the Lanston ma
chine is bad business.

NOT REVOLT BUT REVOLUTION

has reached the proportions Of a revo-
luton.
The Russian government has estab.
lished a strict censorship on all press
kilograms from the Black Sea dis
trict, and 1t is suspected here that
even government dispatches are be-
ing held up by the local authorities.
Up to the present time nothing has
been received from United States
Consul Heenan for a period Of "a
hours.
To dscribe the seizing of the battle
ship Kniaz Potemkin, as a mutiny
in the opinion of the officials here,
minimizes the situation. They con.
slider this coup as only part of the
general plans of the revolutionary ele-
ment at Odessa and other Black Sea
towns. The crew of the battleshir
was undoubtedly recruited largely
from among the factory hands In
those places where the spirit of so
cialism and revolution is rampant.
The fact that It is reported that q
number Of the officers we're spared.
lends color to this theory. The crew
evidently saved such of the officers
as were known to be in sympathy with
the revolutionists.
Developments are being watched
by this government with the keenest
interest. Little surprise, would be felt
in Washington If the rest of Admiral
Kruger's Black Sea fleet should be
seized by their crews on arrival at
Odessa when they learn of the sue
cessful attempt on the Kniaz.

JAMMED BETWEEN
Two Saplings Was the Head Of the
Villages Prettiest Woman Who
Was Murdered AtrociousIy.

GAINESVILLE. O.. June 29.-The village
of Cooperdale. near here, is In a high
state Of excitement over the murder of
Mrs. Kate Hughes, aged 33 years, who
was regarded as the prettiest woman of
the ne!ghborhood. She was the wife OF
Simon Hughes, a coal miner, employed
near Cooperdale.
Noon yesterday neighbor woman
called at the house. AS the doors were
open and there was no response to her
knocking she became alarmed, and,
with the aid of other neighbors, insti-
tuted search. In a distant corner
OF the yard, near a spring, the party
came across the body of Mrs. Hughes.
1t was in a sitting posture, with the
head thrown back, jammed between
two saplings.
While there is no direct evidence to
implicate any one. suspicion is directed
to a person who. 1t is claimed. has
been seeking to ALLEVIATE the affections
of Mrs. Hughes from her husband.
A posse of citizens has been formed,
with the determination 10 wreak sum
mary vengeance on the murderer, and
requests have been sent to Dayton,
Mansfield and Columbus for blood
hounds to assist In unearthing the
mystery.
