The death of the millionaire was follow* <1 by the arrest on the charge of forgery <f Albert T Patrick, the dead man's lawyer, and Charles F. Jones, his valet.

The work of the exp* rts will not end here The case is more than likely to go Into court, at least with charges of forgery, if not of murder, ngainst the Imprisoned men. 80 far a# the Investigation has progressed there is no evidence of guilt other than that of the exprrtjt. excepting the suspicion naturally aroused h\ th* fact that Patrtck Is a large beneficiary Huch cas*s as these lolng up vividly the old question as to the value of expert testimony.

The Philadelphia Times, (pem ) thus summarises the position of Mr Wayne MacYeagh: "Our friend, Wayne Mae- Veagh, ha# decided to support McKinley. It Is unnecessary to say that bis reasons are entirely his own. Mac Veagh Is al* ways original. He is oiq#>#ed fo nearly everything ttt McKinley l>een Io- Ing. and to the whole proceeding# in th# Philippines, especially; but he think# that if a sufficient number of antl-imperlallsts stand by McKinley now it will cause him to change his course and erase to be on imperialist.

"It look* as If the Repub licans would have to -admit, whether they would or nr*, that imperialism and mili tarism have not passed ns issues in this campaign, and that they are not lettig neglected by the Democratic leaders.
