Report That Marines Will Come.

From the navy yard it is reported that it is not improbable that a small body of marines will be stationed at the barracks within a few weeks. It is not thought that this will be per manent establishment, but will be more of transitory nature, those who may be located in the new barracks being home ward bound from Panama. The rumor al the navy yard is to the effect that the barracks are likely to be occupied either toward the close of December or the beginning of Janu- ary. There is much uncertainty about this statement, and all seems to hinge upon whether the situation in Near agua will necessitate alterations in the plan of government or not.

Candid and Frank.

J. Henry Roraback emphasizes one side of MT. Fyler's character and methods, out of his long experience in politics with him: He met both friend and foe on the same footing, that of absolute candor and frankness. No man was ever deceived by o. R. Fyler
 If he believed as you did you had his warmest support, and if your proposi-
 ton did not receive his appreciation
 even though you were his most inh- mate friend, he told you so frankly and fearlessly. He was an unerring judge of men and events, and his great juds- ment and influence were always exer- cised on the side of good government and honesty in political affairs. He abhorred sham and petty cunning and the political hypocrite never found the second welcome at his fireside
