WHAT ME. BENEDICT HAS TO SAY.
Declares Thftt lie Was Misquoted In News

Under Any Circnimtaucen.
New Yore, Nov. 27.—E. C. Benedict,
the close personal friend of President
Cleveland, intimates in an interview
that lie had been misquoted in the*
newspaper articles which represented
him its shying 'that Mr. Cleveland wilt
net Vie a candidate for a third term.
“Now,” said Mr. Benedict, scanning
a-printed copy of the statement aflaifofcnJ

“There are Romo who ray Mr. Cleve

suggested.
“I ('eel thc.t he will not.”

AUTOGRAPHS STOLEN.
Signatures of Preuldonts Cut Out of Docti
uidiits at Washington.
Washington, Nov. 27. —Tho whole
sale investigation throughout the exec
utive departments as to the stamp thefts
has resulted in finding even worse rav
ages than were at first discovered in tho
treasury. Another element has crept
into the situation, as it,is learned that
the autograph fiends, too, hgve been at
work among the files. This vandalism,
so far as is yet known, seems to have
i been practiced principally in the interi
or department.
In the investigation by the secret ser
vice men it has been discovered that
the signatures of many great men, long
since dead, especially presidents of tho
United Sta tes, were affixed to papers in,
the laud office. Some of these, were ac
cordingly examined, with the result
that scores of autographs have, been
found to be missing from them. Abra
ham Lincoln’s autograph has been es
pecially sought after.
These papers are stowed away in the
file, and it is hardly once n year that
any of them are needed, so that discov
ery of mutilation, in f he ordinary course
of official routine, was improbable. The
papers have been, in many instances,
rendered practically valueless by this
mutilation, which is a very serious mat
; ter. ' __

i that pnpor flint Senator David B. Hill
of New York has leased a large house
on I street, in the most fashionable
quarter of Wasliiugton, and expects to
| take possession Soon after the meeting
of congress. He is either going to murry
or is going td avoid the iHscomfi.Tts of
hotel 'life in the capital. It is hard
enough for married people to live at tho
hotels in Washington, l/pt for batch
elms, hotel life is a burden indeed.
Senator Hill is not in Washington at
present, though the rumor that he is
about to many has percolated through
tho political atmosphere pretty thor
oughly. None of his friends are in a
position to throw any light on tho re
port; but the faot remains that he has
leased a residence built for two.
