Such an Episode for a slogsnI

A dispatch from WashinEton TO the
Boston Transcript says that the White
House believes that keeping the country
out OF war" is better campaign sloFsn
than ''pacify Mexico" This Astounding
statement indicates, what not q few have
suspected. that this sudden Mextosn
episode has 9 political origin In the effort
to develop an issue for the campaign
that has just opened Il is sslf-evident
that the call for the State militia could
have been made on q similar pretext
weeks earlier. but II waited until the
conventions had acted and the struggle
was on. Something very like q national
CONFUSION resulted. Tears were shed
over our boys murdered by the bloody
Mexicans. and what relief 70 find that

on May he drank ale from a nagon in
honor Of the worthy brewer who founded
the institution at Pougskeepsie he actu-

the title of ginger pop. President Mac

Crashes Into the Rear End
Of Another Freight.

Sunday morning about 1880 there
was a good-sized smash-up on the G..

goes over TO the property near the
river.
The fagman went back to stop the
, train following, but as there was a
heavy fog at the time Engineer Brad
ford says he did not see the fagman,
nor could he see the block against
him, and he come pounding down at d
good clip, when suddenly the rear end
Of the train at the coal docks was
struck, the big engine blowing
through two cabOsses, MASKING them
into kindling wood, damaging a tank
car of oil, tearing off the pilot of the
engine, MASKING in the end of a box
car in his train and blocking up the
westbound track. The crew in the
caboose, hearing the approaching
train, had time to get to a place of

Was Seattle Doctor
 Executed as a Spy?
Persistent RumOrs that Doctor Mel Horn Was Shot by the

SEATTLE, March 16. - Persistent rumors are ahoat that Dr. Walton M. Alelhorn, a prominent physician ot this city has been secretly executed in England as German spy. The report is that letters of commitaI nature were found in his pockets but his friends deny that he Was in any way connected with the secret service of any belligerent nation. He left seattle last November to join the German Red Cross and nothing has been heard from him since. Confirm ation of the story of his execution has ben sought but without any result The authorities at Washington have ooen advised of the rumor and an in- yestigation will probably be made at once.
