It is Not at All Sure That the Secretary Can Go There and Speak. Itmay be that Secretary Blaine will go to Ohio to help Maj. McKinley into the next House of Representatives, but if that is the fact thon the Secretary himsolf is not aware of it, The business of the State Department is not less pressing than on yesterday when the Sec. retary said he would almost certainly remain here an4 tho President is just as much away now as he was at that timo; another reason why the head of the State Department should stay right in his office, It can be stated most positively that if the work of the State Department wiil permit Mr. Blaine will make perhaps three speeches in McKinley's behalf, but the chances are that the orator of Maine will have no op- folk, MR. GLOVER RESIGNS And Mr. John R. McLean Becomes a Director of the W. and G. Railroad. Mr. Charles C. Glover has retired from the directory of the Washington and Georgetown Railrond Company. His resignation as vice president and director of the company has been acted upon by the directors, and at the meeting held yesterday Mr. John R. McLean was elected a member of the board in place of Mr. Glover. Mr, McLean is the proprietor of the Cincinnati Enqurer and is a resident of this city and a large property owner here. The retirement of Glover is regretted by his associates on the board, and they so ex- pressed themselves when it became known that he intended to resign. Mr. Glover has contemplated taking this step for ;some time. He finds that he has too much to do and that matters outside of his business absorb a great deal of his time andenergy. He naturally was reluctant to give up his active interest in a company with which he has been so long identified. Ever since 1875 he has been interested in the road, but it was not until 1881 that he became a member of the board of directors, taking the place made vacant by the death of the late Geo. W. Riggs. EXTRA SESSION TALK. Rumors Again Set Afloat Despite Facts That Contradict Them. The “extra session” rumor has again been setafoot and circulated widely, despite an array of facts that ought to convince any one of its emptiness. ‘Ihe date for the assembling of this supposititious extra session is given as Tucs- day, November 11. Now, when any President wants to callan extra session ho has to give the members of Congress thirty daye in which to pack up their clothes and ti oilice filed by their constituents, It is hardly probable that the President will call an extra session while he is away, yet that is what he must do if Congress is to assemble on the 1ith proximo, Another phase of the story is that an extra session will be called if the democrats should | chance to be victorious in the November elec- tions, ‘These elections take place on Novem- ber 4. so that if an extra session was called on » day following it would be several days jater im assembling thaa the regular session, ‘There are no Senators in the city at this time, and the existence of any responsitie person who knows there will be an extra session is more or less to be doubted. WILLIE SPRAGUE’S CAREER. End of a Life That Opened With the Brightest Promise. A dispatch to Tur Stan from Seattle, Wash., today says: The body of William Sprague, who committed sticide by taking chtorform Tues- day, lies at the morgue. A dispatch was re- ceived from his father, ex-Gov. Sprague of Rhode Island, now at Narragansett Pier, which simply said: “Thanks, Will wire you later.” A dispatch from his mother, who is at Edge- wood, near Washington, D.C., said: “Embalm the body and then prepare it in the best pos- sible manner for shipment and draw on his father for expenses, “Willie” Sprague, whose death by his own hand in Seattle was announced in yesterday's Stan, went to that city about two weeks ago to take charge of tho engraving department of the Jowrnal. He remained at his work until last Friday night, after which time he did not ar at the office. His continued ab- * led to one of the staff of the papery cali- ing on Tuesday afternoon at his boarding house to make inquiries. He was told that ‘prague was inhis room end had been com- plaining the nicht before of feeling sick. Upon going to Sprague’s room the ealler found the door locked. It was forced open, and the boy's body was found upon the bed. There was no room for doubt that he had committed suicide, for the reparations had evidentiy been most iberate, His head was completely enveloped in a pillow case and a hal? filled bottle of chloro- form was on the floor beside the bed. He had saturated the cloth with chloroform, placed a patch of newspaper over that and then tied the pillow case around his head, He had been dead about twenty hours when found.

You will observe, too, in the generous exhibits of agricultural and mechan- ical products with which that palace is filled the evidence of that prosperity for which we, asa people, are sincerely thankful and of which we are justly proud. {Applause}, Assuring you of the loyalty of the citizens of my state to the principles of the government, of which yon aro the recognized head, and of their high regard for you personally, as well as olitically, [now have the plensure of intro- lucing you to this large assemblage of our people.” THE PRESIDENT'S RESPONSE. After the enthusiasm which greeted the Pres- ident’sappearance had somewhat subsided he responded to Mr, Boie's address in a brief speech, thanking the Iowans for their hearty welcome and assuring them of the pleasure it afforded him. He said he would be inappre- ciative and indeed ungrateful if he were not moved bythe generous and spontaneous welcome which has greeted him in this brief western trip. te said the welcome was tendered him in loyalty and respect of the great American people for that government of which they were the only sovereigns and which attained such a high rank in the galaxy of nations, ‘The President congratulated the people of Towa on the phenomenal progress which they had made asa state within the past decade, and was gratified by the evidences of prosperity which he observed on every hand. In the unique and magnificent structure (the coal | palace), which was justly the pride of the city of Ottumwa, he saw demon- strated not only the inexhaustible mineral wealth of the state, but also an architectural triumph and artistic culture which were a credit to the evor-advancing Hawkeye state. (Applauee.] ‘n conclusion the President again extended thanks for the cordial welcome offered him, and said his visit to the state would be long remembered. —_.—__ A THEATER ON FIRE, Pittsburg’s Academy of Music Dam- aged to the Extent of $20,000.
