Leverett M. Kelley. Bcaond deputy
commlEsloner of the Pension Office,
went out of offlce today as the result
of the House Democrats falling to
provide salary for the office he1 hus
held for the past fifteen years.
As a token of the love and esteem
In which he Is held by the employes
of the Pension Office, hundreds of the
clerks shook hands with the deputy
commissioner and expressed their sor
row at seeing him go. He was pre
sented with a handsome bunch of
American- Beauty roses, orchids, lilies,
and other flowers. In addition to this
he was given a valuable suitcase.
These gifts were pluced on Captain
Kelley's desk early this morning us a
pleasant surprise when he came to
work. From 9 o'clock until noon his
office was crowded with Ills officials
and employes, all wishing him a God
speed. The Democrats, following out their
declaration to economize, provided
only for one deputy commissioner after
the first of September.
Captain Kelley was born In Schenec
tady, N. Y., September 28, 1841, and was
educated In the county schools there
and also at Blerolt (Michigan) College.
From Blerolt he went to Illinois and ut
the outbreak of the civlt war enlisted
In Company A, Thirty-sixth Illinois
"Volunteers, serving as a corpora), ser
geant, first lieutenant and captain. He
distinguished himself at the battle of
Missionary Ridge, when as a sergeant
he led a charge over me Dreasiwoino
of the Confederates.
In 1S67, 186S and 1874, he was sheriff of
Kane county, Illinois, and In 1878 was
made Indian agent at Standing Rock
and Los Pines leservatlons, In which
capacity he consummated an Impoitant
treaty with the Indians of that section.
He became a division chief at the
Pension Office In 1889, and In 1897 was
madfe second deputy commissioner In
which capacity We has been until today.
In speaking of the future, Capt. Kel
ley said: "I hate to leave my good
friends here. It makes me sad to
part with them. As to future plans
I probably will go Jnto the real estate
business in Washington, but before do
ing this I will spend a few weeks on
my plantation In Elgin, Illinois."

SPEAKER OF HOUSE
SAYS REPUBLICANS
CANNOT 1 MAINE
Declares Democratic Chance
of Victory Never Better
Since 1892.
BAR. HARBOR, Me.. Aug. 3l.-Speak-er
Champ Clark left Maine today after
a strenuous campaigning tour of two
days. Ho declared William T. Haines,
the Republican candidate for governor,
represented all the Intel eats that have
loaded the high price of living on the
whole country.
Speaker Clark today addressed Massa
chusetts Democrats at the big outing
at Canoble Lake, Mass. He left Maine
confident tho Republicans would lose
both the governshlp and the legislature.
"The Republican narty promised tariff
Jevlston," said the Speaker, "and had
the opportunity to make good that
pledge. Thev failed when thev had a
majority of their own in Congress and
a President of their own to sign the
bills. They increased the tariff rates
and with this lnciease the price of
llvlnc increased.
"The Republican candidate for sover
nor Is allied with those interests that
killed our tariff bills In Washington.
Ills defeat will be a rebuke to the ad
ministration that destioyed these bills.
Because of the Republican broken
promises on the tariff. Democratic pros
pects were never better Blncc 1S92."

ATLANTA, Ga., Aug. 31. Senator A.
O. Bacon, of Georgia, today scathingly
criticised President Taft for ordering
American boldten to Nicaragua. Ho
denounced Tcft'M order as "contrary to
the Constitution and without any au
thority of law."
"In my onlnlon the Bending of from
1.000 to 4.000 troops consisting of Infantry
marines and armed sailors Into Nlcar-1!
t... !,.. Uio.l.lnnt without nuthorllv I
fiom Congress 1b not only without tho
luw. but absolutely In violation of the
luw," said Senator Bacon.
I "Of course It Is recognised that under
certain circumstances sman Domes oi
marlnts may be landed In a foreign
country, for Instance, to protect Ameri
can consulates, but that U a very dlf-
ferent matter from sending an army
into a foreign country to take aides be
tween two contesting factions within
that country.
"If 3,000 to 4,000 troopo can be sent
why not 30,000 or 40,000 or any greater
number? The larger force could be Bent
by him with .equal propriety anu jua
tlttcatlon into some other country, Mex
ico for Instance. Thoro Is-just as much
authority for the President to send 60,
000 soldiers into Mexico as to Bend 3,000
men Into Nicaragua.
"If such action Is really necessary
then It is the duty of tho President to
report the matter to Congress and
have Congress authorize tho movement,
that duty 1b vested in Congress by the
Constitution ana not to mo i'rcsiuenu
"It is a dangerous power to bo exer
cised by any one man and tho Consti
tution carefully denied It to the Presi
dent and vested It in Congress alone.
"In Nicaragua, I have no doubt, tho
whole proceedings la in the interest of
some American capitalist, who have
loaned money to the existing govern
ment and who would lose their money
should tho government be overthrown.
"The Senate has appointed on Inves
tigating committee and the whole mat
tor will be sifted from top, to bottom."
Sergeant Roberts
Is Improved Today
Eugene E. Roberts, first sergeant of
Company B, First Infantry, District
National Guard, who would not allow
tt'nhold, vaccine to bo Injected Into
him during tho guard's recent maneu
vers and has been critically III with
typhoid. Is reported much better today.
It Is thought the crisis has been pasno'l
and the fever Is broken.
Sergeant Roberta was one of the few
men who lefuscd to be vaccinated, and
It Is noted that nono of those who al
lowed the precaution have been troubled
with tho disease.

In terms that are .emphatic the Unit
ed Slates Government has notlllcd tho
Cuban government that "absurd delays"
lu meting out Justice to Enrique Maza,
the reporter who attacked Hugh 8. Gib
son, Ameilcnn charge d'affaires at Hav
ana, will not bo tolerated.
Following a conferencu with Senor
Martin Rlvero, Cuban minister to Wash
intrtnn. and Acting Secretary of State
Huntington Wilson, it became known
that this country has made a nnai ulti
matum to the Island republic.
The State Department takes tho posi
tion that the campaign of vluperatlon
that has becomo general In he Cuban
press as -a result of the Maza assault,
can only bo quelled by the government
making public tho truo facts attending
tho settlement of tho Rellly claim of
S5&9.000.
As a mattor of fact Minister Rlvero
has been informed that his government
must publish tho truo facts of tho cak.
The garbled accounts of tho negotia
tions wnicn iook piace ueiwBcn
Gibson and tho Cuban cabinet have
i ii.. tMAflm nt Inflnmlncr thn tlllnlln
mind in tho island and grave complica
tions are threatened.
The American legation at Havana is
In possession- of tho facts In the caBe,
but could hardly take tho Initiative In
publishing them. ...
A high official of tho department again
pointed out today that even in China
before tho Christian era, and even
among tho savage Indians there was a
code of honor which prohibited the de
famation of character and vituperation
of peaceful envoys. Mr. Gibson Is being
cendemntd on all sides In Cuba simply
because he performed his duties In col-
i..Ailnn it. Annrln'n rlnlm tfint WAS
valid and due him for services rendered.
Cuban Government
Continues to Waver;
Writer Again in Jail
HAVANA. Aug. 31. The Cuban gov
ernment continued to waver today bo
tween its fear of antagonizing locul
nntl-Amedcan sentiment and its re
alization of the hopelessness of defy
ing the United States.
Enrlquo Maza, who assaulted Ameri
can Charge d'Affalrea Hugh S. Gibson.
Ih locked up for tho third time, but
the persistency with which he has
been released leaves no doubt that
Secretary of State fiangully wantB the
case against him dropped and would
drop It If Gibson would let him.
Todays newspapers are mure ven
mous "than over In their attack on
Gibson and Americans here sav they
do not Jjjlnk his life safe. For the
support they have gjven him, other
foreign representatives are also In
disfavor.

than the Democratic and there are even
rumors that the highly protected Inter
est are not coming up with campaign
funds In the wav that was expected.
In view of the Tuft tariff vetoes. The
textile Interests were confidently
counted on for unusual liberality, but
In view of the Indictment of u high
official of the Ametlcan Woolen Com
pany for alleged complicity In plots to
plant dynamite In Lawrence and have
It "discovered as evidence against the
strikers, It Is feared that contributions
from the high tariff people will be hard
to get and of doubtful utility.
Worrying the Republicans.
What to do about the growing strength
of the now purty Is giving worry to
the Republican managers even mor.i
than to the Democratic. In New Yoilt
and New England, It is especially noted
that working people, those of foreign
birth, and the mass of smaller business
men tend moro and more decidedly to
ward tho Progressive parly. Those
same elements are even Btronger for
the Progresslye cause In tho West.
The Taft people expected that Pen
rose's story about tho campaign fund
of 1901 would greatly strengthen th
"regular" cause. It hasn't. Instead, It
has produced tho Impression that Roose
velt Is the onu man whom tho pcoplb
can tru"t. That is tho sentiment ro
llected by expressions of tl)u great
rnasB of day-by-day people, whose
votes chance to count lust as strongly
as those of tho men higher up In tbi
business world.
Everybody who goes to New York
leaves with the observation that It Is
posslblo to hear plenty of Roosevelt
and Wllt-on talk, bat little about Taft.
The Democratic manazer have been
greatly disappointed by the failure of
me J'cnrose campaign iunn stones v
produce any striking effect on public
opinion They banked a good deal on
It at first, but Colonel Rooaovelt. by
turning It to his own advantage, mad
more apparent than ever that the fight
Is really between him and Wllstn.
