General Nelson 0. Miles Aspiring to
the Presidency.
CROKER QUITS TAMMANY LEADERSHIP
Tl»e President’* Reprimand Makes Mile*
Determined to Throw tin* Hough Hitler
Out of ti»e Presidency.—The Schley
Matter Assuming a Political Color.
Washington : General Nelson 0.
Miles is now an open candidate for
rh. N.wljr Appuintml 1‘ou.lon A pent at
Topeka May Fall of funttrui.tlon.
Washington : Before the senate com-
mittee on pensions a charge against
Wilder S. Metcalf of killing a prisoner
while in the service in the Philippine
Islands was revived, tol. Metcalf is a
nominee to the office of pension agent
at Tojx'ka and the charge is made in
connection with efforts to defeat his
confirmation. Metcalf was a major in
the Twentieth Kansas volunteers when
tne battle of Coloocan was fought and
the charge Is that during the battle he
shot with Ins revolver a Filipino pris-
oner who was unarmed and at the time
presidential honors. He has long had | on his knees pleading for mercy. Affi-
davits from soldiers in the Twentieth
Kansas have been filed with the com-
mittee and Captain Boltwood. Later
the captain of Company K of this regi-
ment appeared before the committee in
l>erson. He pressed for a full investiga-
tion, saying that the inquiry which had
been made by the war department was
superficial. The committee heard Cap-
tain Boltwood at length and at the con-
clusion of the hearing Chairman Galli-
ger referred the nomination to Senators
Simon, Scott and McCumber for fur-
ther investigation. Regarding the mat-
ter Mr. Metcalf says:
"The charges that I shot Filipinos
while they were defenseless has been
made before, and after mi investigation
by officers of the war department, 1 was
exonerated from all blame. The charges
are old and threadbare and I have not
the least doubt of their outcome. They
were started by some of my enemies in
the Twentieth Kansas regiment, purely
for personal reasons.' ’
WANT DEWEY’S REPORT.
Tli** Chicago Hoard of Trade Would Iluvn
Congress Review the Schley Case.
Chicago: The Chicago Board of
Trade at its annual meeting, put the
stamp of approval on Admiral Dewey’s
minority report in the Schley contro-
versy, and as a representative body of
Chicago business men, sent a memorial
to congress asking that the circum-
stances and events that might throw
light on the sitrfbtion be examined into.
This action was not taken without
lengthy discussion and objections from
an inclination in that direction, hut
since he was reprimanded by the presi-
dent for his interview on the Schley
case, the commanding general lias made
little, if any, concealment of his inten-
tion to win the democratic nomination
two years hence, if he can. •
He is actively playing his cards with
that end in view. In fact, the decison
of Admiral Schley to appeal his case to
the president, is said, on good authority
to be a part of the Miles program to em-
barass Mr. Roosevelt The national
capital is full of most interesting gossip
concerning this latest phase of the cele-
brated controversy and the plan of Gen-
eral Miles to Make a political issue of
the Schley case wijh himself as
the central figure. General Miles
would like to be nominated for the pres-
idency in 1904, with either Schley or
Dewey as his nfnning mate. He be-
lieves a ticket headed Miles and Schley
or Miles and Dewey would bring vic-
tory against President Roosevelt or any
other man the republicans could put up.
General Miles is very much in earnest
in his candidacy for the presidency.
He talks of little‘else to his intimate I
friends, and already, by anticipation is j
enjoying a victory over the president, 1
• who dared to administer to him a se- j
vere repre maud.
BOSS CROCKER IS OUT.
The Tam in an > Lemler Is Siicoeiulcil by
l#ewin Nixon as Head of Political Hotly.
New York: Richard Crokfer has an-
nounced his retirement from the formal
leadership of Tammany hall. This an-
nouncement was made at a meeting of
the executive committee, at which the
plan or reorganization for the year 1902
was agreed upon. Lewis Nixon was
chosen as Croker’s successor as chair-
man of the finance committee. This
position, by long usage, carries with it,
the leadership of the organization.
In his farewell address, whicli was
delivered with much feeling, Mr. Orok-
er said that the appointment of Nixon
to the chairmanship of the finance com-
mittee had his full approval, and he
hoped that Nixon would receive the
same consideration and good will which
had been extended to him. He added:
“I know the young man well and I be-
lieve that he will restore confidence in
the organization and bring hack to its
support the army of democrats that we
lost at the last election 1 hope thiil
you will give him the same confidence
I have enjoyed.”

Wm. T. People* Deliberately Kill* Engt-iia
McLaughlin In Huley'a Store.
Oklahoma Ci:yt: The body of Bu-
tene McLaughlin, a clerk in Haley's
Irng store, now lies cold in death, the
•esult of a shot by W. T. Peoples, a
•otton buyer of this place. The citi-
:ens were shocked at the report of the
ibove tragedy and were inclined to at
irst disbelieve the rumor, lint further
nquiry only revealed the fact that it
Aas true.
The sad affair took place in the Haley
lrug store, corner Main and Robinson
itreets, the place where the victim was
m employee.
Peoples walked into the store, ap-
lroachod McLaughlin, and without any
,varning except, so those who saw it
say, a blow on the breast, pulled out of
iis pocket a revolver and fired twice,
joth shots taking effect, death resulting
ilmost instantly.
Coolly and unconcernedly Peoples
walked out of the store and went to the
jail where he surrendered himself to
he officers saving, “I have shot a man
in Haley's drug store.”
A number were in the store at the
line and the affair occurred so quietly
:hat the occupants of the place knew
lothing was out of the way until the
.hots, which sent the spirit of young
McLaughlin into eternity, wore heard.
The motive leading to this rash act on
he part of Peoples is as yet a mystery.
While there are many suppositions as
o the cause no one, perhaps, knows the
true reason. It is claimed that Mc-
Laughlin has been very persistent jn
iis attentions to Peoples’ wife, but by
some this is denied.
Both parties are well known and both
wore equally well liked anil their
! friends only limited by their acquaint-
.incis. Peoples still languishes in jail
| md the offense is one that will hardly
idmit of bail.
Mr. McLaughlin, father of the un-
fortunate young man, arrived from St.
Louis and accompanied the remains to
diat place for interment. .

charges that sailors belonging to the
United States gun boat Vicksburg shot

Continental United States or United
States proper, 75,994,575; Philippines,
(5,961,339, being the estimate of the
statistician to the Philip]line commis-
sion; Porto Rico, 953,243; Hawaii, 154,-

American Samoa, 6,100 Persons in

The twelfth census extended only to
Alaska and Hawaii outside “continen-
tal United States;’’ the figures for the
rest of the United States are taken from
the best available sources. The figures
for Porto Rico are taken from the cen-
sus of 1899. These are the only three
countries which now have a greater
jiopulatiou than the United States:
China, the British empire and the Rus-
sian empire. China and the British
empire have each probably between {550
and 400 million, or together nearly one-
half of the total population of t^e
earth. The Russian empire, with about
131 million people, has more than half
as many again as the United States,
ami has been increasing during the
century with greater rapidity than any
other European power.
France, including ^ts dependencies, is
the fifth country in the world in order

United States.

Mr. Beebe tells a story which is most
interesting because the most prominent
features of the case must be read lie
tween the lines. The story is that
Beebe met Ora Chapin in December,
Shortly after the woman went to Dr.
Delisspar, iui alleged fortune teller,
who told her of certain relations shi j
had had with Beebe. Delisspar said hr ;
was a detective and would have her!
an ated unless she secured a sum ol
money from Beebe. Tie then threatened
to write h note advising Beebe's wife ol
certain matters unless the money was |
forthcoming. Beebe consulted a lawyer
.md was advised to let matters take
their course, but wanted to get at the
bottom of the affair and cause tin j
arrest of the parties behind the woman, j
He decided to pay the woman a certain j
sum of money, and the fact that he did
pay her $3,500, shows that he was very j
liberal in bis dentition to assist tin
cause of justice to progress. He then:
learned Dr. Delisspar .was back of tin j
woman in the alleged conspiracy Y’
blackmail, and learning-that the Chapin I
sisters resided at 425 Vest Main street,
be caused the arrest.
Mr. Bed ie lias been in >stoffice inspectoi

Dr. Delisspar is not a physician, sr'
lie says, but uses that title to cover liis!
real occupation, that of a detective.
When asked about the case he replied: I
"My lawyer will not let me discuss the !
matter at length just now,” said the
doctor, “but when I cun talk I will
tell you things about Beebe and show!
you matter in writing over bis own!
