HAFNER, Harford St., Milford, Pa. WASHINGTON LETTEH. Washington, D. C ., May 30, '98. President McKinley nml Porrr tnry Long are satisfied from infor mation thoy hnvo received, ofTlpinl and otherwise), that Commodore Schley has tho Spmiish fleet jtonnetl up in the hnvbor at Santiago de Cnhn, but tho invasion of Cuba will not bo ordered until Commodore Schley has officially reported that the Spanish fleet is in Hantiupo bur. bor. This report may beniniln any honr. If tho HpnniRh fleet is there it will be helpless to do ns any harm and will in the end bo cither cap tured or destroyed. Although a portion of tho volunteer army is still unprovided with all the needed equipments, there are more than 35,000 nen, About three-fourths reg ulars, ready for embarkation, and they can all bo landed in Cuba with in twenty-four hours after orders have been issued. President McKinley left his work long enough Saturday afternoon to visit Camp Alger, on tho Virginia side of the Potomac, near Washing, ton, and reviewed 13,000 of tlfe 20, 000 volunteers now assembled there j lack of equipments prevent ed all the men taking part .in the reviow. President McKinley ex pressed himself as highly pleased with the spirit displayed by the men. This week each of tho governors will be officially notified of the num ber of mon his state is expected to furnish on the second call of troops, by the President last week. There is no especial hurry about enlisting these 75,000 men. In the first place they will probably not be needed ; they havo been called for more to provide for unexpected contingen cies than bocanso of any iress ing need for them at this timo, and in the next place, there will be no equipment for them until after tboso already in service have been all provided for. The Memorial Day exercises at Arlington and other cotneterios in the vicinity of Washingion were unusually interesting this year. What is treason. The question becomes of the greatest importance whon tho country is engaged in war. It is a serious matter to accuse mon of boing triators, but black doesn't becomo white bocauso it isn't called black. In times of peace it was all right for mon to oppose the an nexation of Howaii becauso they did not personally believe that this country would be benefited thoroby ; but, now that the President, his on tire cabinet and every officer in the army and navy whose opinion lias been asked have declared that the immediate annexation of Hawaii is a military necessity, without which our attempting to hold the Philippine Islands may bo turned into a disastrous failure and all of the fruits of Dewey's great victory be lost, it Is not all right. On the contrary, it is all wrong. That free speech may a t times become danger ous is shown by the activity of the Sugar Trust lobby to prevent Con gress providing for annexation of Hawaii, notwithstanding that the administration, a large majority of Congress, and an overwhelming ma jority of people wore strongly in favor of annexation even before it was declared to have become a mili tary necossity. If this lobby isn't guilty of treason, it is dangerously near to being guilty. From the day that the Presidont deolared annex ation to be a military necessity it has been the patriotio duty of Con gress to annet without regard to personal opinions of individuals. Just as soon as President McKin. ley can get the time he will issue an order, with an elaborate opinion prepared byAttorney General Griggs declaring that tho Government Print ing Oflioo never was legally under the civil service rules, becauso it lx longs undor the legislative, and not the executive branch of the govern ment. Tho samo opinion has oper ated to put an ond to the movement for the placing of the Congressional Library under tho civil service rules because tho Library, like tho gov ernment Printing Office, is a Con gressional institution. There are many desirable places in the G. P. O. now nold by the Democrats. Postmator General Stanton has made plans which will insure the regular payment of tho troops sent to the Philippines. Paymasters supplied with money enough for throe month's pay accompanied the troops which have already gone and tho plan will be followed as other troops are Bent. Only gold and silver will be used in making these puy. ment. Senator Gorman exploded a few bomb in the ranks of the anti-bond silverites in the Senate in a patriotio speech he made in favor of uphold ing the hands of the government by authorizing the issue of bonds, and opposing the issue of either silver certificates or greenbacks. After calling attention to the fact that no war bad ever been fought without an issue ot bonds, and expressing tho opinion that none was ever likely to bo, Mr. Gorman exploded his heaviest bomb by say ing that if the Senatt, refused to au tlmrize bonds, tho President would bo compelled to issue them as soon as bo wns'bonnd to have money, un der the law of 1&75. DALTON OF DALTON'8 TRAIL. Exhibitions jf Pride, Kerre and Gen eranltr by Cltfaen of Alnaltau A man from Harney county, Oregon who is spending a few days In San FranclBno, Is an old friend of Jack Dal ton of Dalton's Trail fame, and knowi how the Alaskan trail builder came tc be called Dalton. Far that waa not hit name In the States. "Jack Dalton lived for several years In Harney county," said the Oregon man, "but there he was known as Jack Miller, which is his real name. He brought with him to Harney county a span of fine horses, and after a while somebody who did not like him and he was such an Independent fellow thnt he had a good many enemies Bpread the report that the horses had been stolen, and sent word to a man In Um atilla who claimed that he had lost Just such a span. The upshot of It was that a warrant was Issued for hit arrest. All of Miller's friends and 1 was one of them believed that he could easily clear himself and prove hie ownership of the team If he would sub mit to arrest and let the case come to trial. But he was too proud to do any thing of the sort. He said that any body who wanted to believe him a thlel was welcome to think so, and would still believe It If he went through a hundred trials; but he had done noth ing wrong, and didn't propose to be ar rested until he had done something tc be arrested for. "Miller had killed his man, and gb the officers set cautiously about the business of arresting him. In fact, they showed so much caution that Mil ler reached the coast in safety and shipped for Alnska. There he as sumed the name of Dalton, thinking It was less likely to draw trouble after him than his own name, and as Dalton he has been known ever since. But nobody need ever tell me that Jack Miller didn't rightfully own those horsts, even if he didn't want to be ar rested. He sent for his wife, and they made their home at Juneau until the died. "Miller killed a man named Egan a year before the trouble about the hors es. He and Egan had a quarrel which they settled In a friendly way. They Bhook hands over It and took a drink together and Miller supposed that was the end of It, But an hour or so after ward, as Miller was mounting his horse, Egan stepped up and yelled, 'We'll settle It now!' Miller leaped from his horse, drew his gun, and stooped to let Egan'B bullet paae over him. At the same Instant he shot Egan through the head. He was exonerated by the Coroner's Inquest and was nev er even brought to trial. "But five years afterward a friend of the dead man named Thorpe took a party of gold seekers over Daltbn'a Trail. He had long before sworn to avenge the murder of his friend, and proceeded to do It by destroying bridg es and spoiling the trail, upon which Dalton had spent 20,000 and no end of thought and labor. Dalton heard what he was doing and went to meet Thorpe and his , party. He told Thorpe that from that point the trail was danger ous, and some one was likely to be hurt If they followed it. Thorpe and his followers took the hint and struck out over another route. In which they soon got into such difficulties, as Dal ton knew they would, that they could neither go on nor retreat. Dalton then seut a party to help them out and pilot them back to his own trail, which he told Thorpe they would then find per fectly safe. The seeker after revenge went on his way and left the trail alone after that. Cne of his party had both legs crushed by a fall, and Dalton took this man to his own house and nursed him tot six months." The Lohater Ileached Out. A Pittsburg real estate agent, who lives In the East End, is proud of the fact that he was born In the same month as Washington and Lincoln. So he celebrated accordingly. His wife had expressed a desire for lobster. Not the common canned stuff, but live lob ster, the real thing. In spite of the day's exhilaration, the vender of town lots remembered this, and before start ing for home bou&nt two of the finest wide-spreading crustaceans that ever came out of the Atlantic. To Insure their arrival In good condition, he had them put In a large market basket, half filled with ice, and covered them with a piece of pn;:er. As soon as he got on a Fifth avenue car the trouble began. Those lobsiers grew tired of their seclusion and began to get in touch with their surroundings. The car was crowded and their owner had to stand. Suddenly a sharp-faced spinster startled the car with screams of "Help! Pickpockets! Police!" at the same time clutching the real estate man's arm. "Conductor, have this man ar rested! Search him! He tried to pick my pocket!" she exclaimed. Everybody looke' at the supposed culprit and then those nearest the pair burst into laughter. One of the lob sters was still tugging at the lady's dress. Not Maar Blue 8toeklms la Kiirpt. The latest census of Egypt shows that the country is about the only one In the world where the men ar in a majority over the women. The male sex in the Khedive's dominions ex ceeds the female by 160,000, and It la curious to note that this numerical predominance of the male is very even ly spread over both upper and lower Egypt. It Is only In the sparsely peo pled and negly recovered province ot Dongola that the women are more nu merous than the men. Another inter esting fact is that the proportion ol Egyptian women knowing how to read aud write Is just a little over one-ball per cent. 1I0WDTE" MARTIN. THE ONLY CONGRESSMAN WHO EVER BLEW OUT THE GAS. A llcturtmqne Character from Teiaa Who Aililrri Much to the CJnlot j of the National Capital During II In Term Notiie Kptoodel lit His Stormy Career. William H. Martin, of Texas, the only congressman, so far as the records extend, who ever blew out the gas, is dead. He died at Hlllsboro, recently, of jmeumonla. He was seventy years old. With him went one of the unique figures In public life of the decade. He had outlived his time. There Is no doubt that he did blow out the gas in Wlllard's hotel, Washington, D. C, on the night of November 25, 1887; that the people of the hotel broke In his door, and that he wjb dragged Into the hall utterly unconscious. He was sick for two days, but as soon as he was well enough to aprear on the streets he hunted the newspaper man who had been most Instrumental In spreading the tidings of his catastrophe and box ed his Jaws until his ears rang. If the man had made the slightest resistance Martin would have killed him where he stood. In person he was six feet high and broad of shoulder, but very gaunt. His hair and beard were untrlmmed. His arms swung loosely and he walked with the long stridoB of the man wTio In his early life had done most of his travel ling on foot. His oaths were so plenti ful they ceased to be profanity. The words rolled from his mouth as un consciously as his breath. I heard him tell once of the failure of a morning stroll after squirrels. "I rli," he said, "one fine day an' snatched hold of my old rifle. That son of mine had been a-wearln' of my klttredge belt. I went Into the woods an was walkin' down the road when I seen a squir rel settln' on a tree. I pulled the trigger and the gun wasn't loaded. The squir'l set thar and liked to laughed his head off. 1 loaded up an' she wouldn't work. I got a 45-callbre kltlridge into the 44-callbre gun and I never killed a squir'l." On the morning of the day when "Buck" Kllgore, also of Texas, and also dead, kicked his way to freedom by smashing one of the house doors, there had been a wordy passage between Johnson, of Indiana, Republican, and Craln, of Texas, Democrat. The two approached each other excitedly and a collision seemed Imminent. At that Juncture the eyes of quiescent members were transferred from the principal fig ures In the debate to the center alslo. Craln and Johnson were not apt to hurt each other with anything more deadly than their hands, but In the center aisle a dozen Democrats were slowly bearing back "Howd'ye" Martin to the cloakroom. His Jaws were set, his face was pale with the pallor of death, and his eyes blazed. Tightly gripped In his right hand waa a 6-inch clasp-knife with the blade opened. This was a knife that he carried, not for the purpose of offense, but to trim his nails with every month. He spoke only once, and then in response to a whis pered word of soothing from the vener able David B. Culberson: "D it, let's have a settlement!" He was shouldered out, however, and taken from tho cap Itol. It is rather a singular bit of Washington Journalism that an ac count ot this Incident did not appear in any print. "Old Howd'ye" so called because that was his invariable salutation to man and woman, boy and girl, white and black took out a Texas regiment In 1861 they went direct to Virginia and faced the Federal lines. The state ment seems incredible, but it Is strictly true that in 1863 the personnel of this regiment was entirely changed. Every man of the original recruitage was dead or incapacitated by wounds. "Howd'ye" went back to Texas and got another. Not many of them were left in 1865, when Grant's mighty and vic torious host was bearing down upon the starving and disheartened legions of Lee. An old southerner has told me of meeting the Texan on the morning of "the surrender," as it is familiarly called In the south. He was five miles from Lee's headquarters and his dirty regulars were bivouacked by the sideof a. country road. Martin asked him of the news. He was told that General Lee bad surrendered. Martin drew a pis tol from his holster. "Ef you say that ag'in," he declared, "I'll blow you're head off." He was assured that It was true. He turned to his men and said: "Boys, I'm goin' back to Texas, where a roan can live an' the blacks can't run us. Who's goln' with me?" A few of them responded. The others were too weary and heartsick to move. He headed his little band due south, turn ing his back upon the chilly Virginia fields. He got through the scattered Federal line somehow and made his way home. It was his boast to the day of bis death that he had never sur rendered. I'blleat Animal In the World. The ugliest animal in the whole world Is at present sojourning In the London Zoo. He Is a mandril. The mandril is a West African bab oon. He has only a stump where the rest of his monkey relatives have long, flowing tails. On each side of the muzzle he has long swellings, which add to the bideousuess of his appear ance.
