The Plunger proceeded swiftly back
to her place Of anchorage under her own
power and when the President stepped
from the Plunger back into the Sylph's
launch he expressed himself as highly
pleased with his experience. For three
hours he had forgotten all about the peace

so much engaged him Of late. He re-

ward il to he requested by the City Coun-
ell to resign. II Woodward refuses to
resign the Council will take steps to i'm
peach him. The caucus Of the ma jority Of
members Of the Council which decided
on this action also determined to adopt
a resolution apologizng to Mayor Dunno
and the city of Chicago for Woodward's
attack
Feeling here over Woodward's outbreak
is very bitter. chiefly because he Is an old
offender When he served az Mayor four
years ago he was incapacitated for weeks
because Of drunkenness and was frequently
arrested on the streets. To escape i'm
parchment near the close Of his term
he signed pledge to resign should he
offend again. On leaving the office he got
a job with the Atlanta Street Railway Com
pany, which had secured a monopoly Of
transportation franchises during Wood
wards term of Office.
About a year ago Woodward was re-
elected owing to the fact that he received
the solid la Dor siren 9Th, 900 votes while the
remaining 1900 votes were split among

ARRESTS IN THE MIZE CASE.
Two Men Held on suspicion-Nlrs. Wilson
Kept In Chicago.

CHICAGO, Aug. 2s.-Earl l.. Garrett, Q
son Of prominent Hyde Park real estate
dealer, was arrested late this afternoon
on suspicion in connection with the murder
Of Mrs. Fife Mize. His arrest followed
the giving Of information by a housekeeper.
who told the police that young Garrett
came to her the day after the murder and
gave her revolver to keep for him.
The housekeeper thought such request
suspicious and made the circumstances
known to the police. CARROTS arrest fol-
lowed Immediately, but as he gave a good
account OF his actions on the night Of the
murder it Is not believed that he will be held
beyond Tomorrow.
Clarence W. Laird Is also being held
pending a complete examination. He was
arrested on the complaint OF State
street department store where he was
employed, but as soon as he fell into tho
hands OF the police it was noted that he
filed the description Of the murderer, and
instead Of charges being preferred against
him at once he was locked up to await an
examination by the police.
In the finding OF Mrs. Mize' g torn pocket:
book the fact that the murder was for the
sake Of robbery was fully established, but
unless the clues which Inspector Hunt and
his men are now working on are productive
1t seems that the capture Of the murderer
Is as far away as on the night the crime
was committed.
All the lodging houses in the city are
being closely watched and any Suspicious
person caught around such places will
be taken into custody.
In order that it may be impossible for
Mrs. F. A. Wilson, who was with the muir
dered woman when she was shot, to leave

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.

Special Cable Despatch TO THE SUN.
SIMLA, Aug. 25.--A further chapter in
the controversy between Gen. Lord Kitch-
ener and Viceroy Curzon. who has re-
Gently resigned, was published to-day.
This consists Of strongly worded minute
issued by Gen. Kitchener protesting against
the telegram sent by Curzon to the Right
Hon. st. John Brodrick Secretary of State
for India. on Aug. 10, purporting to give
a summary OF Kitchener's proposals In re-
Army.
Without entering into details Kitchener
describes CIrzon's version Of his (Kitch-
ener's) proposals as too sweeping In some
instances and incorrect in others, while
some assertions Kitchener fatty denies.
The minute concludes with the follow
ing:
AS regards the whole summary it gives
a description Of my proposals entirely
inconsistent with the views I actually
held
The viceroy gives long reply In which
he admits that his summary for the tele-
graph could not do full justice to every
feature, but he gladly welcomes chance
Of substantiating every stu. ement he made
and Of proving the correctness Of the in
ferences he drew from them. Viceroy
Curzon maintains everything he said and
concludes In the following strong language:
Il have now referred to all charges OF
serious Misrepresentation brought by the
Commander-in- Chief against my summary
Of his proposals and have proved every
paragraph Of it,
The publication OF these minutes ha
created fresh sensation and increases
the deplorable friction between the two
factions supporting respectively the Vice
roy and the Commander-in-Chief How
fatty Kitchener and Curzon contradict
each other may be deduced from the fol-
lowing clauses Of their minutes. CurDon
in his summary to Broderick Of Kitcheners
proposals said -The Commander-in-
Chief in clause eleven stipulated that the
military supply member (of the vice-regal
CounciD should not criticize opinions re-
corded by the Commander-in-C Chief on
military questions"
Kitchener strongly denies this, and so
with much else Of Curzon's summary.

May, and left on Tuesday for. Kennebunk-
port, Me. Before going she told Mr.. Barry
that her husband had been suffering 80
much from insomnia and indigestion
that she disliked to leave him alone. Her

ness.

Greace, at Portsmouth. Va.
Mr.. Brooks was so years old and came
