WASHINGTON "LETTER.. From our Regular , Correipondent The a f ministration is wor rying over 'the' news f t o ra China.'-'; Phe revolution of th " Boxers" , threatens to ex pose Mr. McKinley's Imperi alistic programme concern inp China in advance of the presidential election,' which is just what he was anxious to avoid. In their anxiety to al lay public suspicion at home members of the ad ministra tion haw been doing samp word juggling that would be amusing if the matters in volved were not too serious o laugh about. For in stance, official statements to he press from the State De artment hove emphasized he alleged instructions to mr Minister at Pekin, and :o Rear Admiral Kempff.'our Naval Commander, in Chinese waters, to act in concert with European powers for he protection of foreigners and their property but not o join a combination of the lowers for any purpose. Our representatives over there must be clever indeed it they can -act in concert with the European ""powers without combining with them. A marked feature of th? po litieal situation, is the genu ine scare of tne Republican leaders 'over three states which they have heretofore been claiming as certain to cast their electoral votps for McKinley. These states are New York, Indiana, and Illi nois. In New York withCro- ker to look after greater New York, and Hill to look after the other portions of the state, pulling loyolly to- gether, the Republicans real ize that the state will be doubtful. In Indiana, the State ticket nominated by the Democrats, headed by Hon. John W. Kern, is so strong that Indiana Ropubli. cphs have notified the lead ers of the party that the State is in danger. In llli nois, the tide Ins bp" run ning a nti Republican f o r sometime, and appeals for hi1! p. are being received in Washington. . 1 his scare is so bad that prominent Re publicans are saying that it is useless to consider candi dates from other states for the second place on the M(S Kinlp.r ticket; that he must betaken from one of those three states and must be a man who will add strpngth to the ticket. Mr. McKinley has gone out of his way to make friends with Senator Mason, of Ills., who was anti administration during the recent session of Congress,- and Iiafl succeeded in getting Mason to promise to take the stump for him; As Ma- 6on isn't thp sort of man who can be won over by jol lying, it is likely that he has received Bom? , definite and iron-clad promises of future pationage. The i nd ust r ia I Co m m issio n , so called, has provided itself with a' pleasant summer junk et, all of the expenses o which will be paid by the "dear people." It hnstfecid ed that the industrial condi tions principallj flitffations a nd such , a long t he N ort h ern Atlantic coast, must be investigated during the sum iner, atid ' his arranged for meetings of the Commission d uring the next three months, in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, and the New Eng land states. One of the first duties of a democratic ad ministration and Congress will be to abolish the Bep'ub lican Government Com mis sion humbug, which has be come so rampant, and so ex pensive, under the McKinley administration. Chairman Payne, of the Uouse Ways a n d Meams Committee, has given e way the claimf the Rejuiblicans that the reason they did no! reduce war taxes at the re cent session of Congress, was their desire to have that Com mission grant hearings and study the question duiing the recess, so that the right sort of fill providing for the reduction might be -reported to the House, by the official announcement that the Com ittee would not be called to gether until just before Con gress meets. In other words. the question of the reduction of war taxes is to be left open until after election, in order that all the big interests may be taxed for the Republican campaign fund. Secretary Long has adver tised for bids for furnishing armor plate for battleships, under the cowardly law forc ed throuch Congress the last thing before adjournment. making Mr. Long do what the Republicans of Congress were ashamed to do agree to the prices of armor set by armor trust, which wilKnecrs PHrilj" be the only bidder to respond to theadvertisment. True, the law gives Ar.Long authority to reject the bids if he considers' the price too high, and to use the $4,000, 000 carried by the act, for the establishment of a gov ernment plant to make arm or plate, but if he acted upon that authority, the Repuldi can leaders who engineered h e cowardly make-shift would throw a few fits; they are figuring on a heavy cam paign contribution from the armor trust. Mr.- McKinley a'nd Gen. E S. Otis have been exchanging taffy. Mr. McKinley has been telling Otis that he was the only real thing in the Mili tary way produced by the Philippine war many believe tbat Otis produced that war and that he would have been glad to have mane him instead of Miles, a Lieut. Gen but Congress fixed it so tha oromotion had to go' t o Miles; while Oris, OAverjoyec at-his promotion to be Maj. Gen. has been telling Mr. McKinley that he is the greatest of all Piesidents Outside of the White House there has been no attempt to lionize Otis because of the prevalence of the opinion tha he has already received more than was earning to .him for anything he achieved during his blundering career in the Philippines. ' About the only cheap thing that (rives satisfaction is a compliment Cm TOUKSDAY, JUNE 2f, 1900. The Ghost bf Poe's Kavcri. j Since public attention has bw-n called afresh to Edgar Allen Poe, the following ex ratirdinarj1 fact will be of in terest. It was about 1R45 that Poe went to New Vork searching for -employment, and became so "hard ' tip" hat he sold VThe Raven" to he American Review for five dollars. He went out to brdham, i n Westchester county, a suburb of Gotham, to live, nnd it was here that his "child wife," the Annabel jfe of his most beautiful poem, died and was buried in he village cemetery. Somewhere about 1881 or 1882 the people of Fordham desired to remove the graved yard, and therefore proceed ed to disinter the bodies. A gentleman of New York who had always been a great ad mirer of Poe heard of this and went out, determined to see to it that the grave of nnabel Lee be not unneces sarily desecrated. He. arriv ed only in time to find the grave already opened and the bones thrown out. As no one seemed to care he gathered together the prec ious though uncanny relics, and wrapping them in a pa per, took them to his own home, where in a box they were reverently k pt. for near ly two years." After this they were sent to Baltimore to be interred near the graveolher gifted husband. But this is not the most ex traordinary part of thestory, the facts of which can be ver ified, together with the names ot the actors. In the same room where were kept for so long the bones of "Sweet An nabel Lee" was also jealous Ip guarded the manuscript of "The Raven," which latter was placed in the corner stone of th monument erected to Poe's memory; Late one summer s day a raven flew through the open window and rested on the porttolio containing the prp cious manuscript. Theoccu pant of the room was at first startled, and the' weird con nection between the funerea bird, the manuscript beneath its feet, the ghastly contents of the box near by , started into uncatm.v prominence. Up on approachiug the bird it was found to be gentle, and evidently somebody's pet. Lnckingfor accommodations for so unusaal a guejt,- the gentleman deposited the eb ony bird with a druggist near by; and as no advpftispment appeared to recall him to his lost home, he was finally given o ft prominent society woman who had expressed a desire for a tame crow, but who gladly accepted this ra cu as a more dignified and poetical addition to her household. Frnces H. How ard, in Woman's Home Com panion. J. Q. Hood, justice of the peace Crosby, Mihh., makes the tollow nig statement? "I can certify that One Minute cou'jrh cure will do all that Is claimed for it. My wifecouM lionet her breathand the first dose of it relieved her. It has .also beneflfed my whole family." It acts immediately and cures coughs, colds, croup' grippe, bronchitis, asthma and all throat and luoa troubles. Cof ley Bros. Phillips Jt Son1.. ; : rr IS All OYER. - The Boers ha ve fallen. With Pretoria in the hands of the British, the last hope of the Transvaal will vanish. In this, their hour of gloom, tha sympathies of the world go out to them, . Before the mighty the weak have suc cumbed. Within a few years all will be forgotten and the world will;haver resumed its old way. The stronger and fitter has survived. The weak have perished. More than a half century ago Darwin established the theory of the survival of the fittest as applied to man nnd beast. At this time it would seem that he inighc have gone further and applied the same law to nations, for one by one the little nations are disappearing from the map, merged into the greater; Nor will this great change stop with the Transvaal. Intime, Turkey, Italy, Spain, Portu gal and the South American principalities will cut no fig ure in the world's history. There will be four or five great nations, und theynre easily named, and theie, when there are no other worlds to conquer may dwell together in peace or fight it out among themselves. Of course, this is but surmise, but history. justifies the sup position. But there is no reason to imagine that the world will be of the worse for the change.' The domain of lib erty is widening day by day. England is almost as free u countrj as America. France is republican In form and in fact. The liberal sentiment is growing in Germany and in despotic Russia there ore signs of the dawn. If the earth nnd the fullness thereof is to be controlled by the quintet when A, D. 2000 is written, there is no reason to imagine that thetnhabitants thereof will be any worse by reason of the great change And, in fact, they may be bet ter. The Transvaal and the Orange Free State will be bet ter off in a few years hance than they have ever been in the past; There willbegreat er freedom, mbre liberal com merceand greater prosperity The old Boers will mourn for the old days, but the young er generation Will soon be re conciled to the changp.
