It is understood on Rood ground that at the time General Fair- child had prepared a circular which he after- wards sent to every post in the United States calling for an expression of opinion on the rl\slon uestion in sucha way as_to deal he president a savage rebuke. Krom the volamlinous mass of answers received, the sly and patriotic Wisconsin general has digested areport which will be submitted to the Grand Army at St. Louis, when, it Pres- Ident Cleveland is present, he will again realize something of the way the soldiers look at things.

There are many rumors afloat about the situation. One is’ that the presi- dent 1s so vexed at his secretary of war that he does not want to see him. Another is that he actually intends to freeze Endicott out, and the third report has it that Endicott’s resignation already has been requested. None of tnese stories can he traced to any authori- tative source, but the prediction is freely made that Endicott will be out of the cabinet within thirty days. He would have been out six months ago were it not for his constitu- tional inability to take a hint, but this time it will be something more than a hint. This rebel flag business calls loudly for vicarious sacritice and both Endicott and Drum might a8 well pack their trunks and bave quarter- masters’ wagons in readiness tocart them poety o T. P.

The child has been badly scorclied on the left side, arms and face, but Dr. Ward, who is attending to her, says she is al- ready resting easily and he has little doubt of her recovery.

Simpson picked up n picee of as phalt and struck Meyers over the head, cutting and seriously iring him, Simpson ran away, and up to s late hour had not been found by the police.
