would have been made only her death
came a few days earlier than it had
been expected. The doctor said she
knew she could not live and day before
yesterday she said she desired 10 make
a will. The Will was not made. 1t may
be imagined that in such a document
the truth would have been told.
Among the effects of De Raglan was
a great deal of valuable jewelry, a dia-
mond ring among 1t being worth many
hundred dollars.
The outward clothing of De Raglan
was such as any gentleman might
wear. Ii was plain but the selection
OF it showed an educated taste. In
the elegant bath robes and fine under
clothing the woman was slightly dis
closed.
The answer to the telegram sent by
DR.. Rowe TO Mrs. Anna De Raglan last
night ought to shed some light on this
remarkable affair.

a thought They had visited barber
shops together for De Raglan shaved
regularly and frequently.
The doctor agreed with Mr.. Driscoll
that no further steps should be taken
toward the sending OF the body away
until there could be an investigation OF
the strange affair and that the author
tiles should be notified. Marshal Kin
ney was sent for but there was nothing
to be done by him further than to ac-
knowledge that he had cognizance of
the case. The body was then embalmed
and is being held pending other devel-
opments.
There are several elements in this
case which classify il with all those
strange cases OF women who have
passed for years as men and who have
had wives who aided them in their de-
ception. How long De Raglan may
have held himself out to be a woman
is yet a matter OF conjecture. Dr.
Rowe met him in Chicago as doctors
ordinarily meet patients and that far
back therefore he was known as a
man. That was about six months ago.
De Raglan was as communicative as
well bred and educated gentleman
ever become. and he bestowed uDon the
doctor those condolences which patients
believe belong to their medical advis-
ers. He told the doctor freely about
his life in Russia and in this country
/ He spoke OF his wife often and treas
ured her photographs and her letters.
He manifested a fathers pride in his
son and cherished his photograph.
I He had an album filled with photo
graphs OF friends and relatives in this
country and Russia. There were in the
collection several pictures of himself
taken at various ages and there was
one OF a little Russian girl he told the
doctor was long ago his little sweet
heart"
! On the face of the evidence which
now appears il is thought that De
Raglan actually served in the Spanish
war for there are those medals which
are known 10 have been issued in the
, circumstances in which De Raglan said
| he had received his. At present there
| is an inclination to believe that Pres
ident Mckinley actually wrote a letter
/ of thanks and commendation to a
gallant soldier of the name of De Ray
Ian and that the dead girl in the
morgue was he.
II would have been thought that De
Raglan would not carry this deception
into the very hour and article of death.

The Increasing Expenditures for the Navy
and Army DepIOred
Senator Hale Calls the Attention Country to the
Fact That Wars of the Past and Future Absorb
TwO-Thirds of the Revenues.

Washington, Dec. is. Senators
Warren, Hale and Scott engaged in a
discussion today in the senate deplor-
ing the increasing expenditures in the
army and navy. 1t was occasioned b.
the postpOnement OF action on the bill
increasing the artillery corps.
Mr.. Warren said he believed it was
useless to appropriate between $1,000
600 and $4,000, 900, a year to increase
the Qualifications and then fail TO pro-
vide men. I'VE now have three guns
to every man." he said. eve have ex-
pended more than 100000, 900 in car

recommended by the EndicOtt board. .
THE senator ought to have added.
interrupted Senator Hale. that We
have no enemies
1T is constant pressure on the part
of the army to aggrandize ITSELF" he
continued. first for men. then for
guns. The disease is just as deep in
the navy and / am inclined to think.
deeper than in the army / have tried
for years and shall try again this year
to keep down the naval expenses. But
the military establishments are alike
Each seeking to aggrandize itself.
Il do not suppose the people of the
country appreciate IT. | do not know
that the senate does. but there are now
two-thirds Of the revenue of the
country which are devoted to the
payment of the burdens of past wars,
like pensions and expenditures in view
OF future wars. OF all the taxes that
are paid and all revenues collected
nearly two thirds are expended for the
military in broad way"
Senator Scott observed that during
the summer he had visited nine forti-
fications and found big, new, expensive
guns sewed up in canvas after having
been rubbed in vaseline. He said that
he should demand that some measure
be passed to secure adequate care OF
the guns or that no further expenses
be incurred in that direction.

THE FATE OF HICKS
STILL IN THE BALANCE
The Rescue Of the Entomped Miner
No Nearer Than 1t Seemed Two
Days Ago.

Bakersfield. Cal, Dec. 1S.-The res
cue party at Edison camp tonight is
working in loose dirt and decOmpOsed
granite but Il few feet from Hicks. the
buried miner, but despite their prox-
unity TO him the chances for his deIiv-
cry are as far removed as they seemed
two days ago. Engineers offer no
hope of rescue inside of twelve hours
and probably twenty-fOur may be nee
essary.
The substance in which the rescuers
are working is debris from the fallen
tunnel and yields to the touch as
readily as sand. There is an over
pOwering fear that at the last minute
a false jar will release the rock which
threatens Hicks and cheat the rescuers
Of the victory for which they have
labored so long. The miners are now
directly above Hicks but will cross the
tunnel over his head and attempt to
| reach him from behind.

face and when he stripped the breast
bare he was further struck by its an
peafance. A further examination show
ed him that his subject was a woman.
The masquerade had been carried TO
the last possible and unnecessary de-
tail.
Mr.. Driscoll covered the body and
sought DR.. Rowe whom he found in the
office of the Union. He called him
aside and questioned him about his
late patient. Mr.. Driscoll soon con-
WINGED himself that the doctor had been
no party either by consent or knowl-
edge to this strange deception. In the
first place the putting OF the body into
the hands of an undertaken was certain
to disclose IL. Whereas If il were TO
be kept up. the doctor could himself
have put the body into a coffin and
could have complied with all required
regulations for the burial of the body
in local cemetery.
In reply to Mr.. Driscoll's questions
the doctor said that he had frequently
examined De Raglan as 10 his chest
and had found nothing to arouse his
suspicion as to the sex of his patient.
He recalled however that De Raglan
had been rather more sensitive than
male patients usually are.
When Mr.. DriscoI finally asked him
If he knew that De Raglan was a wo-
man he moved about as if dazed by the
inquiry. He recovered and said that
he had never had the slightest sus-
picion that his patient was not what
he seemed. He had been with him a
great deal in their rooms. in travelling
and on the street. There had never
been a move by him which could have
raised a doubt as to his sex. not even
