must do the best he can. I believe that the task which he Is trying to perform Is too great for any one man, no matter how capaLlo he may be, 'The man at the head of the War Department at Washington should be one of good business executive ability and sound com.nonsense. The statesmanship Is required on the scene of action. I have no Intimation of any change In the administration of the department under Mr. Root. One thing is certain, however, so long as General Otis 13 allowed to remain in command he should receive the support of the administration at Washington. An Incorrect policy carried out with determination is usually productive of better results than w policy which, on the whole, might be better, but the execution cf which Is wavering. Whether or not General Otis has acted wisely in the matter of press censorship, I am too far away to tell. Personally, I have a great deal of respect for the correspondents in the Philippines and believe them to be men of truth and honor. There may be other elements entering Into the case, however, which would Justify General Otis in that which he Is said to have done."

ri'LL DOWN THE FLAG. Advice or Hoke Smith on Ilorr to Settle Philippine Question. NEW YORK. July 24. A special to the Times from Washington says: Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith was interviewed on the subject of the campaign In the Philippines and said: 'Xine-tenths of the people in our section are opposed to continuing the war. The sentiment all over the South I believe Is over whelming against trying to retain the islands. The Filipinos are fighting for liberty in the same way what we did a cen tury ago, and the American people are al ready tick and tired of the slaughter going on there. "I am not In favor of having our troops leave the islands with an armed force lined , up against them, but that would not be nec essary. If we would avow our Intention of leaving the islands to the natives and abandoning our attempt at sovereignty the fight ing would stop at once. Then, afteA we had assisted In establishing a government, if the natives so wished, our troops could properly be withdrawn. If the next presidential campaign were to be waged solely on the Issue of continuing the war the opposing candidate would carry the country." It was suggested that the Insurrection might be put down in the meantime. The word "insurrection" seemed to displease Mr. Smith, who replied: "There is not any Incurrectlon. There is simply an invading army trying to conquer a spirited people, and It will be Impossible, as I believe and hope, to put them down. We will no sooner think we have done it than there will be another outbreak. President McKInley entirely misunderstood the sentiment of our people on the question when he visited the South. He made a' speech In Atlanta before a great - throng, in which he asked the citizens If they wanted to see our soldiers turn their backs on the American flag in the Bast and they answered no. What else could they say when the question was put in that way? We can leave the Philippines without leaving the flag or running from an enemy. I am opposed to spreading philanthropy with a Gatllng gun." SICK SO LI) limits HOME. Three Died on the Morjran City Dar in ST Trip from Man tint, SAN FRANCISCO. July 21.-The United States transport Morgan City, which has been converted Into a hospital ship, arrived to-day from Manila, having on board over ' four hundred sick and convalescent soldiers. Three died on the voyage Private C. J. Bobbs, Tenth Pennsylvania; Private Lewis Cook, Twenty-second Regiment, and First Lieutenant Jackson. First South Dakota. These succumbed to dysentery, the disease with' which most the others are afflicted. All of those on board were ill when the steamer left Manila, but the removal from a tropical climate and the sea air so benefited the In valids that on arrival here only twenty-two were unable to leave their berths. Every command and almost every regiment is represented among the returning soldiers. The officers on the transport, all of whom are in Rood health, are: Capt. T. W. Moore, Twenty-first Infantry, In command; Major H. W. Cardwell, chief surgeon United States volunteers; Dr. Williams, contract surgeon; Capt. Andrew Johnson. First Montana; Capt. D. Baldwin. First North Dakota, and First Ueut. II. A. Pratt. First South Da kota.

After thorough inspection of the hip the transfer of the men to the military hospital at the Presidio began, the United States tug General McDowell being used for the purpose. Only a few troops are suffering from the enects of gunshot wound:. TIIC SEW VOLI'XTEEIIS. About One-Third of the Provisional Army Has Deen Enlisted.

organized in such a short period, ana whether its services will be required in the Philippines or not, it Is the President's expectation that It will become part of the permanent military establishment. Even If p?ace Is made soon it Is estimated by officials that with the new dependencies wo will require a standing army of at least 80.000 men. which will be the united strength

of the regular forces and the provisional army. It is largely for this reason that the President determined to appoint only men, with military records to officer these new regiments. The Doiiticians were given to understand that they must conhne their can didates to men in the regular or volunteer service whose military records were without blemish. Even If General Otis succeed In bringing peace before the end of the rainy season part of the new provisional army, at least, will probably se-service in the Philippines. As soon as the war endf the men now in those Elands will be entitled to come homo for rest. This is equally true of the soldiers stationed In Cuba. Porto and Hawaii. A regular tour of duty of a year or so will be prescribed for each of the new colonies. The enlistments for the new regiments Sat urday were 430. making a total of 4.267. Col.

CHICAGO, July 24,-The. quartermaster general of the United States army does not feel inclined to pay the high rates demanded, by the Western roads for the transportation of troops to the Pacific coast. He has been taking steps calculated to break up the rail way combination. He first sent troops to San Francisco over one route. Ignoring all other roads. That plan failed to break up the agreement. The quartermaster general now has gone off on a different tack. He has learned that ships can be obtained at Seattle in which to transport the troops and mai me roaas Jcr-mne to that citv west of St. Paul are not In the agreement. The orleinai unaerstanamg was that all troops should be sent by way of San Francisco and tne asking or bids by way of Seattle is with the evident object of getting the North Pacaflc coast lines to come to the aid of the quartermaster general and thus bring about a rush of roads to put In bids at rates less than those provided for In the agreement.

HAS KRUGER RESIGNED?

CONFLICTING STOIUES TO THAT EF FECT FH03I rnEToniA. Transvaal Ruler Not Supported by Volksrnnd Funeral of Czar's BrotherDreyfus Court-Martial. PARIS, July 21. Dispatches received here from Pretoria, South African Republic, say that the absence of President Kruger from the meeting of the executive council to-day gave currency to a report that he had resigned, owing to differences between him self and members of the Volksraad. President Kruger, when seen to-nlghtMn regard to the matter, denied these' rumors, stating positively that they were without foundation. PRETORIA. July 21. President Kruger has been absent from the government build ing since Friday afternoon and It was understood that, owing to the opposition shown him by the executive council and Volksraad regarding the questions of the Johannesburg franchise for the land and dynamite monopoly, he had arrived at the conclusion that he no longer possessed the Volksraad's confidence and threatened to resign. To-day, however, a deputation. Including General Joubert, the vice president, Herren Schalk and Burger and the chairman of the Volksraad, waited on President Kruger and Induced him to attend a secret session of the Volksraad, which lasted over three hours. Meanwhile an anxious crowd had assembled outside the building, waiting expectantly to learn the outcome of what was regarded as a momentous debate. Late this evening it was announced that the Volksraad had finally assured the President that it had the utmost confidence In him. It is understood, however, that a majority of the members of the Raad still differ with the President on the dynamite monopoly question. Claim He Has ' Resigned. LONDON, July 25.

A RIVAL IN LINSEED OIL

Xevr Company In Minneapolis Will ' Fight the Trust. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 24. A formidable rival to the American Linseed Com pany In a little over two months will be la operation in Minneapolis. Negotiations for the establishment here of the second largest linseed-oil mill In the country have been in progress for some weeks and are Just completed. It will be Independent of the trust combination, and when in full opera tion hae a capacity of one-fourth of the active mills of the American Lmseed Company. The company is capitalized for $400,wo and the capital is fully paid up. Its annual consumption of flaxseed will be from 2.500.000 to 3.000.000 bushels. The parties Interested are W. D.

Brett, also of the Douglas Company, ail associated with some of the largest oil buyers in the United States. Lake Lines to Consolidate. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., July 24. A spe cial from Duluth says: Big combination promoters are not through their work, and the latest that comes to the owners of shipping at this city Is a scheme for the consolidation of all the Independent lake ship ping lines outside of the great fleets of the oro companies. There is a merchant fleet on the lakes of about 1,500,000 tons register. and of this a great share is still owned by the men who have from one to two or three ships, called "tramp ownerships." Most of the lake fleet Is owned by such companies as the Bessemer companies, with their twenty-four ships: the American Steel liarge company, the Minnesota iron com pany, the various trunk railway lines, the American Steel and Wire Company and a few others. These could all be brought into such shape as to work In harmony, with a combination of the remaining shipping interests controlling the larger class of tonnage, and such understanding is already had between them as to make it reasonably sure that they will be so harmonized when the time comes. The high prices at which the ships are Just now held has had the effect of delaying the completion of the combination, but it is expected by those on the inside that this difficulty will be surmounted soon and the prices will have been Justified by events or will be modified. f20,000,000 Oil Well Trust.

New York Special. In a big, comfortable armchair In the Pleasantville sanitarium, just across the hill from White Plains, N. Y.t there sits day after day a woman, tall and stately, of kindly visage, almost motherly. There is a little gray in her hair and a wrinkle or two on her cheek, but she is in the prime of life. She wears an exquisite gown. It is never the same 4. wo days In succession. Two maids answer her every call. The WaldorfAstoria could not serve her a more dainty dinner than the one she takes each day alone. Across the green hills she can see the towers and turrets of a country man sion whose green lawns are lapped by the Sound.' That is her mansion. Those towers she once mounted to get the view. Those lawns were her delight. It is a millionaire's country villa and she is a millionaire's wife. But she will never set foot In that garden again. She is the wife of Henry M. Flagler, Standard oil magnate, railway king, Florida emperor. Ills millions cannot buy what Is the only thing he wants In life reason for this woman. Last week she was pronounced hopelessly Insane. Mrs. Flagler can never go out again into the world she loved so dearly. The physicians have said it. So day after day she sits, lapsing more and more Into mental blindness less able each day to comprehend what goes on about her, while her husband's millions roll on and on. For ten years the husband had hope. His money poured out like water In the belief that he might bring back reason to its throne. Physician after physician was tried, there were baths and electricity and trips here and there and everywnere, medicines. rest cures, everything: hut all to no pur pose. Last week with bowed head Mr. Flagler received the news of the Inevitable there was no hope. Each day sees his wife's weak grasp on reason a little weaker and her memory slowly fading. But she does not know. Twenty years ago Henry M. Flagler was a widower. Ills wife had died leaving him a little boy. At that time he was no million' aire. But he had risen from a very humble walk in life and people were beginning to point him out as a man who wouid succeed. He married again. His second wife was Miss shrouds, of Philadelphia. She was young, beautiful, vivacious, full of life and spirits and happy in the husband whose future looked so bright. Her father was an Episcopal clergyman with but a small salary to support his large family. The bride of the Ohio oil man took her place in an otner life. Hardly had she been a wire a year when the Standard OH Company began to be a power. With the Rockefellers and the Tllfords and the other oil men, Henry M. Flagler became a millionaire almost overnight. Her husband's great wealth Mrs. Flagler bore with ease and grace. She be came mistress of one mansion at Fiftyfourth street and Fifth avenue In New York, of another at Flagler's Point, Mamarone, of a third In Florida. When she traveled by land she had a private car; when she went by water there was Mr. Flagler's steam yacht, the Alicia, with captain and craw waiting her nod. Unlike many of the rich, the wife of this millionaire could not enjoy wealth alone. Her heart was as big as outdoors. She must have friends to enjoy it with her. On the yacht, on the private car. at her villa, at her own home, it was the same lavish hospitality for all. The guests were made to feel as much at home while the Flagler money was being poured out for them as they might in their own more modest homes. The Flagler entertainments were as lavish as any given anywhere by even the richest. Ten years ago Henry M. Flagler decided to attack Florida. He owned most of the railways there; he wanted more. "The Spaniards," he said, "and the French have tried to make something out of Florida, now I'll show people what Yankee push can do!" And he did. - Gardens grew where swamps had once sent forth their miasmatic odors. Railroads ran everywhere; hotels sprang up like mushrooms; not typical country hotels of the North but great palaces more like Alhambra than anything else. Who is there that has not heard of the wonderful Ponce de Leon Hotel In St. Augustine, or of the Alcazar and the Cordova? Boulevards ran everywhere; the North learned at last how pleasant a winter might be when Northern luxuries are transplanted to Southern climes. In the midst of. all this fragrance and delight lived the wife Flagler Idolized. Summer saw her at Mamaroneck; winter In Florida; spring and autumn in New York. Beside her husband, the only member of her family was her stepson, a fine looking lad. who one fine day got married, and so she was left alone without a child. The stork had never come to her. Not that she had not wanted its visit. A little one. she often said, would make her the happiest woman in the world. "Why can I not have a son, with so much to give him as I have? It seems so cruel." Her homes with their statuary and pictures, her trips abroad and to the South began to grow empty. The yacht and the private ca lost their attraction. Money lost Its power. Her cheek faded; her brows clouded. Her mind could dwell on but one topic a child. So she went mad. It wi.s no violent outbreak; Just the breaking down of reason. The husband refused to believe it. He would do everything take her anywhere, give up his business, visit Mexico, Europe, the north pole, if necessary, anything to ave her reason. For a moment, when he realized the truth, his faith in the religion of his fathers he was a devout Presbyterian was shaken. But he was comforted: he saw Dr. Shelton. the expert on insanity, who held oit hope. Perhaps perfect rest and quiet' would restore the brain to its normal state. The millionaire clutched at the hope as a drowsing man clutchea for a straw. But

Physicians as a class are opposed what

they call "patent medicines." 11 i noj often they openly endorse then. 2ow sxd then, however, some doctor, who has been the eye witness 01 a remarkable cure by the use of Dr. Pierce's rem edies, feels it a duty to tell what he knows. Dr. Toseoh Fike. of Lost Springs, Marion Co., Kansas, is such a nan. He writes: "I am using a good many of ?'Our medicines n my practice. Ten years patient who , w s badly affected with scrofula. Her mouth and throat wrre In sn awful condition. and there were lumps on the outsld below the jawa the size of a hen's egjj. Other doctors said it was a fatal cav?. X felt confident that none of mv remedt would benefit her. came t my mind mat Dr. Fierce Golden Medics Discovery was rc oramended for sue! the drug store and bought one notue ana gare n to her to use as directed. Five bottles cured her, and she is well to-day." For more than thirty years Dr. R. V. Pierce, of Buffalo, N. Y., has enjoyed a far larger practice than many physicians who charge large fees for advice. Dr. Fkrce's Golden Medical Discovery is made without alcohol, and is a preparation based upon his extended experience.with disease. It Is a temperance medicine, pure and simple, and without alcohol, whiskey, sugar or syrup to preserve its properties, keeps perfectly in any climate tor any length of time. Others may imitate the remedy; they cannot imitate its cures. Let no one talk yott into using an imitation medicine as a substitute for Dr. Pierce's. Sick people who cannot visit Buffalo may consult Dr. Pierce by mail. He gives free, fatherly advice for treating curing diseases at a chronic, obstinaf lingering nature. No charge is xnad ch consultation. natio :;al Tube Works WrouihMron Pipe for Oat Steam and Water, Boiler Tube. Car an Malleable Iron Fitting (black and galvanized). Valves. Stop Cocka.
