M’MILLIN ACCUSES BAILEY Bays'the House Monetary Leader is Guilty ' of Political Crimes. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 28.-‘Gon- gressman Benton McMillln of Tennes- see, who has always been one of the prominent leaders of the Democratic party in the House, is out in opposl- ~hon to Congressman Bailey of Texas. fie speaks in the most vigorous fash- ion against the Texan, and intimates that he acted the part of a traitor to the Democratic party on 'more occas- ions than one. “The Democrats of the country,” said Mr. McMillin, “do not know Mr. Bailey yet. They are only beginning to find him out. I was severely censured sew,- eral months ago for opposing Mr. Bai- ley on the very same grounds that the Texan is now being fought. Mr. Bai- ley is guilty of all sorts of political crimes." _ Mr. Mcl‘Iillin then went on to explain Mr. Bailey’s conduct and vote in the committee on ways and means when the Dingley tariff bill was being con- sidered. “I moved in committee," said Mr. McMillin, “that the clause relating to wool and woolens be stricken out and that the corresponding section of the Wilson law be inserted in its stead. The duties as fixed by the Wilson law were far more equitable and far more in accord with the establisned Demo- Cl‘f‘flc doctrine. I demanded a yea. and n2 vote on that measure in commit- ter- and Mr. Bailey is on record as v ‘.ing with the Republicans." E’Ir. .McMillin intimated that Mr. Bai- l- y voted this way as a result of an lnderstanding with the Republicans, who, he said, clearly encouraged his leadership. Mr. McMillin said that Speaker Reed helped Bailey by appointing him to de- sirable committee positions. Mr. McMillin says he believes that Bailey stands only a faint show of be- ing elected leader of the minority in the next House. The breaking away of the Alabama. delegation he regards as significant, and he believes that the Mississippi delegation will support,Pri- vate John Allen for the position of Democratic leader.

Accusul of Having Referred in Ofi‘ensivo Manner to the Emperor. Berlin, Nov. 28.—Frank Knaak of New York. has been arrested here on the charge of less majeste. said to have been committed in a wineshop recently. Mr. Knaak was arrested while sit« ting with his wife in a fashionable restaurant. It is alleged that he referred in an offensive manner to the emperor. and a person who heard him immediately summoned a policeman. Although Mr. Knaak had several witnesses who denied that he had made the alleged remark, he was thrown into jail. The officials of the United States embassy have done everything possi- ble to bring about his release and a large amount of bail has been offered. J. R. Jackson, the United States charge d’affaires. has had two interviews with Herr Richthofen, the under secretary of state for foreign affairs, on the sub- ject.‘ Mr. Knaak is a civil engineer and is interested in the Niagara water pow- er. I—Ie originally came from Stettin. Return of Emperor “'llllam. Berlin, Nov. 28.——The German” emper- or and empress arrived at Potsdam at 11 o’clock Saturday morning, on their return from the Holy Land. The church bells were rung and the public buildings were decorated with flags when Emperor William passed through here at twelve o’clock yester— day morning. The Boersen Zeltung says that his majesty's trip to the Holy Land has; cost ten million marks.

'- ‘ " .. 4...,“ _-__.___.m’._,.... \ ink uvenrNc sznrrn The Principal Theme. Document Longer Than Usual. Washington, D. 0., Nov. 28.—Presi- dent McKinley's forthcoming message Will be about one-third longer than his last message, which consisted of thir- teen thousand words. The document that he will send to Congress one week from to-day will be composed of about sixteen thous- and words. The message is not yet completed, and the president has not read it to his cabinet, as has been stated in some of the sensational papers. He, how- ever, has informed one or two of the members of the cabinet that he not reached any definite decision in regard to certain things that he ex- pects to urge Congress to take action upon. When the president began to collect the information for his message, he found that there was so much matter bearing upon the recent war with Spain that this material would take up the bulk of his message to the ex- clusion of almost everything‘else. These statistics in regard to the war came from nearly all the departments and have been freely used by the president in the preparation of his message. Hav— ing just concluded the conduct of a successful war, he and his official ad- visers have agreed that the war must necessarily form the principal theme of his report to Congress. He, however, will have something to say on currency reform and will prac- tically reiterate his views on this sub- ject as contained in his last message to congress. Of course his remarks on the treaty of peace will depend entirely on the result of the present deliberations now ~'going on in Paris. This part of his message will remain “open until the treaty is definitely set— tied. There has been absolutely no clash in regard to matters pertaining to the message between the president and any members of his cabinet. He will stand by Secretary Alger and the other heads of the departments and will rec.- ommend in his message just about what they desire. LOSS OF THE MOHEGAN. She Was Wrecked Because 1 Wrong Course Was steered. London, Nov. 28.—-.-The Board of Trade inquiry into the loss of the At- lantic Transport C mpany's steamer Mohegan, which W_‘_ totally Wrecked off the Lizard, betyygon the Manaoles andmthe Lowlands, on'Qctober‘li last. wflil'e in command of captain men‘a‘rd Griffith, has finished its investigation of ‘the affair. The judgment of .the board’s com- mission was that the ship was in a good seaworthy condition, and that Captain Griffith was in good health at the time the disaster occurred, the stranding of the vessel being caused by a wrong course being steered after the Mohegan had passed Eddystone Light. The commission, in addition, expres- sed admiration of the efforts made to saVe those on board the ill fated ves- sel. . The commission also found that the great loss of life was due tp the ex- tinction of the electric lights on the steamer after she went ashore. A Franco-Italian Treaty. London, Nov. 28.—-After a decade of. tariff warfare France and Italy have surprised their friends and enemies by concluding a commercial treaty. Critics here deem the treaty a sequel to the Fashoda incident. France’s de- feat in Egypt opened her eyes to the. necessity of increasing the number of her friends. Therefore she hastened to begin ne— gotiations with Italy, and will her weaker neighbor the benefit of the by the latter. The Italians estimate that under the new arrangement a million hectolltres of heavy southern wines. which are used in mixing with the lighter French wines, will be exported to France an- nually, resulting in a great impetus to Italian industry. the danger of having to cope with the Italian navy'in the Mediterranean in the event of a. German war and also to nullify in part Germany's policy of isolating France. , ' “'on't Release the Priests. Manila, Philippine Islands, Nov. 28. —Aguinaldo, the insurgent leader, has addressed a second communication .to Major General Otis, the American mil- itary commander, on the subject of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of the insurgents. He has declined to release the clericals and civilians, ar- guing that both carried arms volunta- rily against the insurgents.’ Aguinaldo then refers General Otis to the local papers, published since the insurrection for “irrefutablea proof” of his asser~ tion that the clericals were the “most active and vengeful agents in sacri- ficing the lives and honor of innocent natives." W iscousln Successfully Launched. San Francisco, Nov 28.—At the Union Iron Wo’rks Saturday another great marine fighting machine was ad- ded to the already large fleet of Pa- cific war vessels. The vessel, which successfully slid from the Ways at 9.22 o’clock, was the battleship Wis- consin, the largest of' the vessels built for the United States government by the Union Iron W'orks, which built the Oregon. .

How the Candidate Got on the Good Side oi the Voters. “The last time I was nominated l was with the minority party, and had little hope of election. The highes: flight of my ambition was-to make a good showing. In the river district along the docks there was a dense pop ulation, and as the voters there went so went the district. I was told there was no chance of making any inroads there, but I wanted to satisfy myseli by personal inquiry. I happened there on the night of a little dance at the among the river men, and dropped in to have a talk with some of those present. My opponent had been in vited, but sent his regrets. My recep tion was a chilling one, and I was figuring on getting away as gracefull; as possible when it was discovered that the fiddler was prematurely un- der the influence of refreshments and could not play. A canvass of the int vited guests showed that no one could supply the vital accomplishment to the festivities, and the entertainment be- gan to assume the appearance of a dis- mal failure. “ ‘Perhaps I can help you out, gen tlemen,’ I volunteered with inward tremblings, for I had not touched a fiddle since I used to saw away in the kitchen at the old farm home. “In no time they had me on the top of a barrel, fiddle, bow and resin in my hands. Their enthusiasm was an inspiration, for it meant votes. rMer- rily and vigorously I rendered such classics as ‘Money Musk,’ ‘W'e Kept the Pig in the I’arlor,‘ and ‘O’Reilly’s Reel.’ while the dancers shook the house and shouted approval. ‘More power to his elbow,’ and ‘It’s him as will be the nixt jidge,‘ was the music that I heard on every hand till I gave the ‘Home, Sweet Home’ at 4 o’clock in the morning. I went in with a whoop and have been going in ever since.”——Dct-roit Free Press. Might Have Got Wet. The patience of the average Arkan- sis farmer is abnormal. He is never in a hurry, and he thinks things are bound to come right if he only waits. The writer. in passing through the hills of upper Arkansas, found his progress stopped by a swiftly flowing river. Toward the center of the river was a team, a wagon and a man. The team was stationary and the water eddied and foamed around it. The man was complacently smoking a pipe. Bushing his horse into the current the writer approached the team. and the man evinced a languid interest in his approach. “Why don’t you move on?” was asked. “Can’t” - “Why not?" g “Wagon’s locked. Back part swung ‘ back with the current, and here we! are. Can’t move a locked wagon." “What are you goingto do about it?" “I was thinking." “How long have you been think- lug?” “Since early morning." It was now afternoon. The rider fastened one end of a rope to the tongue of the wagon and the other end to-the pommel of his sad file. The vehicle was straightened out and the horses sprang forward under the lash. Soon the farmer and his team were safely lauded. “Didn’t it occur to you to unhitch your horses and go for help?" was asked. “Well, if I‘d ’a done that, I’d ’a gut wet,” wasihe calm response—Detroit Free Press. .A .'«'.‘ ' UBSCRIBIN ‘ ’ .
