Richard Yates, governor of Illinois, wants to be renominated. He has de termined to find out what the Republi cans of Illinois think of his administra tion and his candidacy. For that pur pose he is going to send 300,000 letters of inquiry. A big job for stenog raphers and envelope writers; but doubtless there are plenty of office hol ders at Springfield with plenty of leis ure. and the state pays. This use of the referendum by a candidate seems to promise good results if the voters are candid and the candidate can bring himself to accept their verdict. "Have I given satisfaction T" the candidate asks. If he haan't, it is money in his pocket and salve to his pride to know the fact beforehand. The correspondence scheme may have its value for all anx ious or doubtful statesmen in office. The campaign in Allegheny County was opened with a meeting in Alle gheny last Wednesday night. The slate was announced and delegates throughout the county given orders to vote for them in the conventions to be held after the primaries next Saturday, This is the slate; District Attorney—Major Robert E. Stewart of Braddock. . Sheriff —Dr. James F. Dickson of Allegheny. Prothonotary—Major J. B. Hamil ton of Carnegie. Jury Commisioner —John Hardy of the Eleventh ward. Pittsburg. THE annual report of Commissioner of Pensions Ware places the total num ber of pensioners now on the rolls at 996.C45 of which 729,356 are soldiers and 267,189 widows and dependents. > Mi. Ware thinks it not probable that the pension roll will again cross the million line Five of the pensioners are on the roll en account of the War of the Revolution, 1,116 on account of the War of 1812, 4,734 on account of the Indian wars and 13,874 on account of the Mexican War. The great bulk of the roll is as follows: Civil War—ln valids, 708,456; widows, 248,390. Spanish War —Invalids, 9,200; widows, 3,662. Regular establishment—lnvalids, 9,170; widows, 2,988. The roll shows a net loss of 2,901 pensioners during the year. The average annual valne of each pen sion is now $l3B. The annual value of the Spanish war pension roll has reached •1,766,810. WASHINGTON NOTES. There is a growing impression that there will be no currency legislation at the approaching session of congress Members of the Aldrich sub-committee to which was delegated the prepartion of a bill have lagand into silence, and Secretary. Shaw's public addresses #siroely toach upon the question. At the convention of the Indiana bankers, Senate* Beveridge declared that "no legislation is possible at the coming ses sion which will radically affect our en tire currency system and cansefthe busi ness world to pause in our present pros perity until it is seen how such legisla tion is going to work. The public is given a clearer idea of the extent and ramifications of the great graft syndicate that formerly existed in the poet office department by the recent indictments that were handed down by the United States grand jury and which Were made public last Saturday. Graft was the watch-word all along the line and it would appear that scarcely a de.- vice used by the poetoffice department under Machen and Beaver's regime was permitted to rest upon its merits. The price of every article and the quantity ordered by the government seems to have depended entirely upon the com mission that the contractors or manu facturers were willing to pay. Seven indictments were handed down last week. One was against George W. Beavers, August W. Machen and James W. Erwin for conspiracy to defraud the United States. It alleges that 1,000 shares stock in the Postal Device and Im provement Company of San Francisco were voted in 1899 to be used in for warding the interests of the company which manufactured a letter box lock. Erwin was a poet office inspector and it is charged that he accompanied the pres ident of the company east and intro duced him to Machen and Beavers. The shares were distributed, it is charg ed, Machen, Beavers and Erwin each getting a block and as a result an order for 2,089 devices was placed. CAFJiiN StBIRT, the U. S. Engineer in charge; has decided that the bridges over the Allegheny between Pittsburg and Allegheny must be raised about ten feet, so as not to impede navigation on the river, after dams and locks are built. The recommendation, which carries the whole subject up to the Secretary of War, does not require the raising of the bridges to the full height of 50 feet. It accepts 47$ feet clearance for the channel spans as sufficient to meet the reason - able requirements of navigation on the Allegheny river. This recommendation is made specifically with regard to the Ft Wayne bridge; but as the airreemei t b'tween the Government and the com pany is that this bridge is not to be raised unless thope below it are.it neces sarily implies the raising of the Sixth. Saventh andsNinth street bridges to at least that height. AT last the ban has been lifted from s aoking at West Point and hereafter eadets may smoke pipes in their rooms aid in certain parts of the grounds, but are prohibited cigars and cigar ettes. Thus ends a controversy that is many decades old. General Grant said bis first temptation to smoke was at West Point, where it was prohibited. He tried it with such poor success that he never became the habitual smoker he was reputed until during the Civil War, when he was showered with fine cigars by admirers. General Schofield siys that when he was at the Academy he used to smoke on the quiet and got many demerits for so doihg, thongh he is certain from his own experience that he was not injured, and that it was a solace which should not have been de nied. He also says that the prohibitory rule drove many cadets intc the prac tice. , The Ala*kaii Boundary. The arguments on the boundary line in Alaska began before the commission sitting in London, Tuesday, and will continue for several days. The United States has jurisdiction, according to its purchase from Russia, over the coast from Dixon Entrance, north, and ten marine miles from the coast, and the dispute is caused by the peculiarities ef the coast. The inlets are not ordinary bays, but are so long and narrow that they look like ocean canals, and hence are called canals instead of bays. Lynn canal runs for nearly a hundred miles into the mainland and for a great part of its extent is not more than a mile and a half in width. Toward its northerly end it forks, between towering cliffs, form ing two harbors. On one of these har bors are the towns of Dyea and Skag way, which at little more than a stone's throw from each other mark the en trances of the parallel passes known as the Chilkoot and the Skagway. The other harbor gives access by a third pass to still another route to the Klondike. The Canadian contention is that all these landing places, which control the practicable routes to the Klondike region, are in Canadian terri tory. It is admitted that the United States has jurisdiction extending ten marine leagues from the coast, but the Canadians argne that such an inlet as Lynn canal is not a part of the coast line, which is really the ocean side of the group of islands. The treat.y how ever, says that the line shall follow "the sinuousities of the coast," and the American boundary claims were never disputed until the developeinent of the Klondike region attracted Canadian at tention to the commercial importance of Lynn canal, whereupon the bound ary claim was invented upon which the commisson is now passing. WHEN asked to explain why he par doned the brutal murderer of a four year old girl in Breathitt county, Ken tucky, Governor Beckham, who is a candidate for re-election, says that the tariff must be revised.

Six people were injured, two of them probably fatally as the result of an automobile accident on the rce track at the Mnskingham county fair grounds at Zanesville, Ohio, last week. A big 100-horee-powef racing maching was giving an exhibition mile and was go ing at the rate 40 miles an hour when one of the rear tires exploded and the machine skidded to one side, tearing off the other rear tire. The driver of the machine, C. D. Fisher of Indianapolis was unable to control It and the 3,000-pound auto mobile dashed for the fence at the out side, of the track. The fence was lin ed with people and the accident came so quickly that there was no time for escape.

The Now Exposition at Pittsburg is now In ita full autumn glory, and declared on all hands to be a thing of beauty throughout and the great est collection of attractive features ever gathered together under one roof. Labor Day brought suburbanites by i the thousands, while the season's first two excursions wore responsible for j another mighty outpouring of the Ex position's loyal and devoted out-of town clientele. And among all these thousands there was not a single voice but acclaimed in loudest tones the high excelLenco of the present Ex position in its every department. Many promises of weight had been made In advance* by the management, and with one aacord it was agreed that more even had been presented than was Intimated In these pledees. Creatore and his wonderful music were magnets for two weeks, and thousands upon thousands to-day cherish precloua impressions created under the spell of his magic baton. But towering as was this musician's stature, he was but forerunner of other attractions in a musical schemo iliat has been arranged in scale of ascending brilliancy. For the 10 days beginning Wednes day. Sept. 16, and continuing until Saturdav, Sept. 26. inclusive, the Fa dette's Woman's Orchestra, of Boston, will be heard in New Exposition mu sic hall, and a rich musical treat is ir. reserve for all who will be privi leged to hear them. The importance of the engagement may be gauged from the statement that this is the second time known in the history of the world when 50 *irl artists have be<*n gathered into an organization calling for performamce upon every instrument found in the grand or chestra. Ever on the alert and in the ad vance guard the Exposition manage ment has been foremost in champion ing the cause of woman in the field of instrumental music, and the succes3 of its ltet year's experiment has been its amplest compensation. To hear girls playing the unwieldy oboe, flute, trombone, French horn and cornet in manner well-nigh per fect will prove an exhilarating sur prise, and be highest incentive for parents to give closer attention to the musical development of their daugh tere. The stage deportment of the fifty members of the Fadettes is simply flawl«£e, while their performance has that magnetic quality of daintiness, i refinement and elegance that places it in a class all its own. Now pic ture this organization gowned in pure white with occasional touches of deli cate colors, resplendent in the daz zling light of New Exposition music hall, and the heart leaps for joy at 6 with the Fadettes for the fny dtps will Ira little Hattie playtas Ae veloasly that one almost belienree a Paderewoki to be at the ivory Key board Little Hattie is Indeed a won der and wherever she appears there is an audience completely carried away ih admiration and amazement.
