. MON'IGGHTI‘E' L MISSING.

The NaVal Cm‘et's Father ls Inclined to
.~ Believe Him Dead.

WASHING TON, Feb. ‘2- :3. — ‘10 omcials of
tin. navy dep urtment ha\o made no at-
tempt to discov or the whe1oabouts of N aval
Cadet Russell Montgomerv, who disap-
peared from Annapolis last May. The
department is not interested in the matter,
as the missing cadet was not on the rolls
of the academy at the time of his disap-
pearance. James B. Montgomery, the
young man’s father, is now in this city.
He says that R‘ussell did not fail to pass”
his examination at the academy. He re-
signed two Weeks before the examination
was held. Being somewhat deficient in
mathematics, he became apprehensive of
his ability to pass. In other branches there
was no question of his proficiency. The
general impression is that if he had en-
tered the examination he would have pass-
ed, but he preferred to resign, having re-
ceived the assurance fIOlD. his father that
he Would immediately be reappointed.
This course was p111 sued, and Montgomery
was appointed to fill the vacancy resulting
from his own resignation. His disappear-
ance was discovered by his failure to ap-
pear for re-examination. By this failure
he forfeited his right to the appointment,
and. another selection was made. Mr.
\lonthmery denies that he exercised un-
due severity toward his son and says the
young man left at his own option and
when the necessity for doing so to avoid
disgrace no longer existed. He is inclined
to believe that the boy is dead. Those
portions of Cuba in possession of the' 1H-
surgents are being searched on the theory
that young Montgomery followed the idea
i revalent among the cadets that glory was
to be achieved by aiding the cause of the
struggling patriots.

Among those who have 1cnderod great
assistance in endeavming to solve the
mystery of Montgomery’s disappearance
is Bourke Cockran of New York.

PRIVATE PENSION BILLS.

Several Returned to the House by the
- President \Vith a Statement.

WASHINGT TON, Feb. 23. —President Cleve-
land returned to congress today without
his approval several private pension bills,
accompanied by a statement of his course
regarding this class of legislation.

The passage early in the session of a
number of pension bills over the presi-
dent’s veto showed that it was possible to
secure a two-thirds majority to repass bills
of this nature. Mr. Cleveland decided, ac-
cordingly, that he would not “wear him«
self out to no purpose in a vain endeavor
to check the granting of special pensions
by congress,” but would let them become
law at the expiration of‘ the ten days pe-
riod. This he‘did in a few cases, and also
told two or three members of congress of
his determination in the matter. The 1e-

.port rapidly spread that the president s
old time opposition to certain classes of
pension bills had been withdrawn, and ac-
cordingly these bills began to pass con-
gress with unwonted rapidity. The presi-
dent would not allow this impression to
stand, and the vetoes of today followed.

A WOMAN’S FATAL BLOW.

Thomas Nestor Says Mrs. McGrath Crushed
His Skull.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Mrs. Bridget Mc-
Grath of 227 East Forty-third street was
arrested on a charge of assaulting 'her
cousin, Thomas Nestor.

Nestor says the woman attacked him
with a butcher’s cleaver and threw him
from the house. His skull is fractured,
and he has six scalp wounds. He is dying
at the Flower hospital.

Mrs. McGrath declares Nestor attacked
her with a poker. She weighs over 300
pounds. Nestor is more than 6 feet in
height.

A bloody butcher’s knife was found in
Mrs. McGrath’s rooms, though she claimed
she had only used the poker with which,
she said, Nestor had assailed her.

Teachers .Must Not Smoke.

DENVER, Feb. 23.—-Mrs. Louise Pitt
Yokum, Dolores county superintendent of
schools, has refused a teacher’s certificate
to Professor Victor C. McGirr, principal
of the Rice public school, becaz' he
smoked. Mrs. Yokum takes the ground
that a person who smokes is disqualified
to teach in the public schools because
teachers in this state are required by law to
instruct the children against the use of
tobacco.

Major hIcKinley’s Health.

CANTON, 0., Feb. 23,—Major McKinley
was not feeling so well today as for several
days past. He has a troublesome cough,
and] more than over needs rest for the re-
mainder of his clay in Canton. Few call-
ers were at the house today, but those who
did call failed to obtain an audience. The
president clect's condition need give no
cause for apprehension, the physician only
advising absolute rest.

Reform Press Association.

KANSAS CITY, Mo., Feb. 23.—Populist
editors who refused to recognize the au-
thority of Paul Vandcrvoort in calling a
meeting of the National Reform Press as-
sOciation at Memphis met in the parlors of
the Hotel Ashland today for the purpose
of organizing a new association. The
gathering was the outcome of acall issued
by Arthur Roselle, secretary-treasurer of
the National association.

The National League Schedule.

BALTIMORE, Feb. 23.—President Nick
Young of the National League of Baseball
Clubs has finished the‘ preparation of the
schedule of games to be plAyed during the
coming season and will submit it to the
spring meeting, which begins in this city
on Thursday next. There appears to be
but little doubt that the schedule as ar-
ranged by President Young will be adopted
without matei ial dissension.

Derailed by a W'ashout.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 23.—The engine, ex-
press, mail and baggage car on train N 0‘.
10f the Chesapeake and Ohio company
were derailed at Glen Station, Ky., through

very heavy rains. Mr. Stout, a railway
employee, was killed and three passengers
