M’KIHLEI FEARS A. CLEAN SHOW DOWN Rottenness Shown in Cuba Calls for Adjournment of Congress REPUBLICANS RATTLED Once the Ohio Man Put Himself on Record as Being Desirous of Having the Country Know All Acts of His Party. By Jos: Ohl. XV: -hfngton. June I—{Special.)—The tn--st noticeable thing In evidence tn Wa hington these days is the Intense nnx- Jety of the r« publican leaders to hasten the adjournment of congress. Ever since the democrats began throwing the white light of publicity upon the scandalous stat of affairs in Cuba, at the same t.n.. insfeting that government offle.als Whether in this country or out of it sii. id make an honest accounting of I the funds placed at their disposal, the rep 4k an leaders have be.-n in a panic. There can be no question that they are badly hacked at all these dts clofrures, coming just at a time that wil make them fresh in the minds of the people when they go to the polls in November. T re i- absolutely no reason other than this why they should be in such a burn to adjourn. They have pending 1 | a n-.mber of measures which they con- j *4,1.. important, and there are others. | like the Nicaragua canal bill, which ' .• i be passed; but immediately the uti R was opened upon th m. the pres ide. s«nt lor his piety leaders and t:r. i the Importance of congress getting Tais is the same president who put hii tseif on record in his inaugu ral address as not being afraid to h ■ i ongress in sess.on. and who at the outset made great professions of ► del., ht when the law-making boay was at work.

These republicans try to create the impression that this suggestion of an account is a reflection upon the president, into whose hands the money was placed. This is, however, a plain attempt to muddy the waters and prevent an Investigation likely to bring to the surface some very unpleasant facts. After their experiences In Cuba nnd after the stories of extravagance which come from Paris, where the affairs of the Amer ican commission seem to have been run in a very high-handed manner. It Is no wonder that the republicans are fearful lest an Investigation Into the expemli turcs made with this particular fund arc proven to be full of abuses. Nobody imagines for nn Instant that President McKinley had any direct hand In these abuses and this suggcstl n of investiga tion or accounting does not carry with it an> nl.c.tlon uih»u him; th. money was 1 apiwrtioned out by him to the different j departments and It Is from the heads of I these departments that an itemised state- I ment showing where every dollar went is expected by those who ure agitating the i question. Nobody at all familiar with the ideas controlling the republicans In congress ; and out of It can be at all surprised at the • stories of extravagance which come from | ail sources. President McKinley seems to hove always been unfortunate in having a gang around him that considered public office a private snap to be worked to the limit for personal gain. It was so out in Ohio where there w« re many scandals connected with his admin -1 Istratlon as governor. nn<l It is particu larly so with the crowd which he at the i instigation of Senator Hanna and his llcit ; tenants has sent to administer the affairs of the Cuban people, a sacred trust In ■ which of all things there should be no crooked work. But this sort of iwrsonal extravagance and jiersonal «llsh<»ncsty .s a legitimate result of republican faith. Men like lianna and Elkins and other practical cltiscns who dominate the re. I publican party are in favor of adding ri | colonial system for the sole rexson that I It offers the best jwissihle advantages for 1 personal gain. With this sentiment Inspiring their leg. | Islatlon It Is no wonder that there Is ox l travagance In every possible quarter. | What has boon done In Cuba will. It Is generally believed, bo found tn exist In the Philippines whenever the facts can be known. Major Rathbone's silk underw.ir •. paid for out of Cuban funds. Is on a par with the large traveling t xpense a rount which Commissioner Peek has allowed , himself and his various assistants -In each case enough money to take a beneficiary a trip around the world. Mr. N< ely’s gentle graft seems to be the most suc cessful thing In «lght. hut Judging from i the reports which come from Paris and which have reached congressmen throm-h business men who have suffered are strips off the snmo cloth. Littlefield Shows His Training. i The new member who has got most j out of this congress Is unquestionably Mr. ; Littleflold. of M ilne. The Maine man’s : xpteeh In support of that republican farce, the trust constitutional amendment, was as adroit a bit of congressional oratory as has been heard In either hall of con- • gr< s.s In years. Mr I.lttletiehl’s splendid speech In op position to the Porto Rican tariff proved him a mngnlflct nt speaker ami a good lawyer: his speech In euj port of the trust amendmt nt added to his fame as a speak er and proved that he Is an ev« n better politician than he Is a lawyer. After h<> had spoken ag .it - t the tariff I atrocity his party associates f. It very much like mobbing him. If a vote could • have bet n tnkr-n at that time the majority of the republicans would have ’gl.t 1 ball >ts 1:1 favor f his Immediate retlre- Ai nt to private life. But those who knew Littlefield best smiled and aid; "Keep your eye on him.” When the democrats applauded him for that tlrst speech, shrewd yankce reptib i Hearts who knew the Maine man predicted that It would be the republicans who would applaud him next became he would find occasion before very long to deliver 4 the strongest kind of an antl-d< mo -ratic si-eech. 1 And this Is Just what h» has done. Ho camo into congress with no certainty of I more than two terms. It was only bv 1 the narrowest margin that Malm- was able to retain four congressional districts under the last census, and It Is practically a certainty that under the re-apportion ment of the census now le-ing taken, her representation tn the house will be cut down to three. Somebo.ly must necessar ily be left at home and those familiar with Maine geography figure it out that • t will pr-i <h’y between Mr. Littlefield and Former Governor Burielg’i, who is also one of the new Maine con gressmen. R allzing alt this, Mr. Lltf’ofleld has taken the shrewdest m<*th<»l possible « f Impressing himself upon the country and parti'iilarly up. n the folks "down v.-r t." The |H-..p]e of Maine have so long been in the saddle In Washington that they have learned to appreciate the value of keeping a good man here, an i Mr. Littlefield has certainly succeeded h, demonstrating to i the rest of the country that he Is a master . hand at the game. By his first stroke he won a reputation for independence atid se cured a place In the house which could i not possibly have n attained If he had (simply followed his party leaders, and hv his second speech ho has proven himself I as rank a republican as any of them and ; a shrewder and ab r man than any of i the others.

HAS BOER CAPITAL BEEN SURRENDERED Although No Definite News Has Been Received Lon don Is Certain KRUGER LEFT TUESDAY Every Indication Points to the Belief That the British Flag Is Fly ing Over Pretoria at Last. The Boers Are Scat- tered. London, June 1.—3:25 a. m.—Belated mes sages from Pretoria confirm tho reports of tho departure of President Kruger with his cabinet and staff officials Tuesday night, ami tho selection at a mooting of citizens of a committee to administer the city provisionally. Since these telegrams left on YVednesday nothing apparently has reached Lourenzo Marques by telegraph from Pretoria. Pos sibly tho wires have boon cut. Possibly tho Boor censorship at some intermediate point Interrupts telegrams. Although the war office has not received a word about It, no one in London harbors tho idea that the Boor captal fs not al ready In the hands of tho British or about to be there. The possession of Johannes burg, nt nil events, as Lord Roberts has I telegraphed. Is ft fact. States Attorney I Smuts did not depart with President Kru- I ger, but remained in Pretoria. The present seat of the Boer government, according to n dispatch from I.ourenzo Marques, dated yesterday, is Middleburg, but It will probably be shifted further east. The Boers lately confronting Lord Rob erts appear to have gone eastward also toward the Lyndenburg region. The de fenders of I.alng’s nek, when their posi tions becomes too perilous, will probably trek straight northward toward Lynden burg. When this concentration takes place there will be possibly 20,000 men. who may hold out for a time with scatter ed bands of guerrillas elsewhere. The press dispatches from the head quarters of I.ord Roberts give no estimate as to the number of Boers who were fighting General French and General lan Hamilton Monday and Tuesday, but they all agree that tho Boers retired and that tiie British casualties were slight. Situation Much in Doubt. London, Juno 2.—4:30 a. tn —The Times has the following from Lourenzo Mar ques, dated June Ist: "Reports of the most conflicting char acter are current here due to the activity of tho Bo®r agents. While o o section declares that President Kruger has re turned to Pretoria for the pur; " <>l ar ranging terms of surre itler. another as serts that th.- British have been repuls' d outside Os Pretoria. Nothing authenu-: is known here regarding Mr. Krug r s whereabouts or tho situation in the Irans vaal.” British in Johannesburg. Tendon. June 2.—A cablegram from Lord Roberts dated Johannesburg, May 31st, but which was not dispatched from there until 8:30 a. tn. of June Ist. has been received hv the war office. It says: •‘The occupation of Johannesburg pass ed off quite satisfactorily, thanks to tiie excellent arrangements made by Dr. Kraus, the Transvaal commandant here, and order urevaikd throughout tiie town. “Dr. Kraus met mo on my entrance to Johannesburg and rode I \ my side to the gov< rnment offices, w here he intro duced me to the heads of tiie several departments, all of whom acceded to my request that they would continue to carry on their respective duties until they could bo relieved of them. "Johannesburg is very empty, but a good crowd of people assemliled in the main square by tiie time the British flag was being hoisted. A rot al salute was tired and thrte cheers for tiie queen were given. "At the end of tho ceremonies the Sev enth and Eleventh divisions marched past with th<- naval i rlgmie. the heavy artil lery, and two brigade divisions of the royal field artillery. "General Inn Hamilton’s column nnd the cavalry division and mounted infantry Were too far away to take part In tiie ceremony. The troops looked v< ry work manlike and evidently took keen interest in the proceedings." French Is Near Pretoria. London. June 4.-4 a. in.—There Is no di rect news from Pretoria of later date than Thursday evening. General French’s cavalry were then at Irene, eight miles south of Pretoria, and firing was heard there. Ix>rd Roberts's messages about secondary operations elsewhere and the situation at Johannesburg, dated at Or ange Grove, .a farm four miles north* ast of Johannesburg, show that on Saturday, at 'J:10 p. tn., no was twenty-live miles from Pretoria.
