A Washington special of the
7th says:
1t is stated that Secretary Will
son will tomorrow make public a
report Of the investigation of the
alleged leak" in the cotton re-
port. It will not be a whitewash.
Chief Statistician Hyde IS believ-
ed to have been exonerated, but
his principal a s i 8 n t, MIR.
Holmes, who recently was sus-
pended at his own request, prob
ably will be the only person dis
missed, unless a woman whose
name has been mixed up in the
affair should be let out.
But the burden of the charges
were against Holmes, and the se-
cret service agents, it is under
stood have carefully investigated
the evidence submitted by Mr..
Cheatham and have pronounced
it tt ustworthy.
On June the 3rd the Southern
Cotton Association, which had
been claiming for months that
cotton figures were leaking from
the Agricultural department in
advance of o ff1 i a statistics,
wrote to Statistician Hyde ask
ing for the names of his crop COR
respondents and for detailed in
formation concerning the collec-
ton of cotton figures and the
character of men who had charge
of their preparation for the pub
lie.
Mr.. Holmes answered by de-
clining to give the information.
The association tn an set about to
obtain the facts through its own
| peculiar sources, and it was not

long until some interesting papers
fell into the hands of Secretary
Cheatham.

written, it is alleged, by Assis-
tant Statistician Holmes, tc GER
tain brokers, offering them ad-
vance figures. He hurried to
New York and obtained b
original letters and also an inter-
esting photograph.
Secretary Wilson, before this
evidence was submitted to him,
stood for the integrity of his de-
partment and denied that a leak
in the cotton report was possible.
But when the Holmes letters
were opened before him, and the
Assistant Statistician' requested
suspension, the Secretary prompt
ly called the Secret s ervic
agents and instructed them to 90
to the bottom of affairs.
Now that the report is in, and
Mr.. Hyde is not charged with
any guilty knowledge, he stands
in the rather embarrassing pO-
sition of being forced to admit
that he really did not know what
was going on inside the bureau
of which he was the chief. Sec
retary Wilson seems TO have
built his defense on the fact that
the figures of Field Agent White
were submitted TO the Bureau of
Statistics in a sealed envelope,
which was deposited in the safe
and there remained until officially
opened.
The cotton men charged that
there was a leak, and they ap-
pear to have made good.

In addition to this, Dr.. A. l..

quite an exhaustive analysis in

DR.. McCandless, State Chem

his analysis, wrote as follows:

On account Of the wonderful
sale which Coca-Cola h a 8

TO claim that this soda f0un tain
beverage contained a Q b 0 &.
These comments in some local
tiles were of such a nature that a
few of the city health boards, and
in one or two instances, the state
board, and even some newspa-

great southern drink has been
able to show clean bill of health

ORTILLE II. PLAT1.

orville H. Platt started in public life as clerk of the Connecticut senate in is55-s. He ended his career as a mem Der of the United States senate, and he had been for some time probably the most influential member of that body. He was elected Senator in 1879, to suc- 'eeed William H. Barnum, and had been in the Senate ever since. When he first went to the Senate he did not give pub lie promise of such a career as has been his there. He was known to be shrewd, able, industrious, painstaking and efficient. But he was not oratori- cal or otherwise specially impressive in his public appearances. It soon became
 apparent, however, that he was getting along. Whatever he did he did we'll, and it was not long before his judgment and wisdom were seen and acknowl- edged. He kept quietly and persistent
 ly at work, won more and more recog- milton and real power, until during the last few years he has been the chief
 doer of things in the Senate, relied on as the friend and counsellor of the President, and known the country over as true patriot and safe guide. His career has been one in which Conneeti-
 cut.can and does take great and hon.
 est pride. He has served his State, his country and the world well. The rec
 ord of his achievements as legislator
 is a long and impressive one. His pow
 CT has been real and great, and it has
 been well exercised.

AN EXPLANATION.

7 Those who don't. know why they married the woman they did marry are invited to notice the fact that learned man, Professor Karl Pearson, of Uni- versity College, London, is trying to prove that man has an unconscious tendency to select a wife of his own height, with eyes of his own color, a proportionate span from forefinger to forefinger, a forearm corresponding to his own, and a constitution of like physical vigor. These theories he ex- pounds by means of tables and dia- grams. Among every thousand men the color Of the eyes is divided as fol- lows: Blue, sss;. green, S12; hazel, 127 and brown, s4 The eyes Of wo- men are generally darker. only 2s6 of them in every thousand having blue ones. If these blue eyed people mar ried at random. the result would be that they would mate at the rate Of 1o4 per 1000; but he has discovered that the actual number is 14o, or s6 above the random average; thus proving that the blue eyed mar, and the blue eyed woman are unconsciously attracted to- ward each other; in the same way men with greenish gray or hazel eyes tend to marry women with eyes of like col or: t"one could hardly imagine man choosing wife by measuring her from forefinger to forefinger," said the pro- lessor; yet his diagram demonstrated that as the span of one increased so did that of the other.
 Good. This is perhaps as reasonable an explanation as any.
