O ie of the spookiest stories that has followed the terrible Sau Francisco eartl qu ike aud Qro comas from the navy department, and ls therefore, entirely authentic and worthy of be lief. A man named Hanson was ir the enlisted service of the navy at Mare Island. With him lived his wife, mother and twoohildrcn. They were lu San Frai.c;sooat the time of the eaithqu ske, and were co vere ! with tons of debris, afterwards being burned to a crisp: Hanson was miss ed and a search was instituted for him. He was found, or rabnor what remained of him together with the oharrcd bodies of his family. When Hanson's friends discovered his fate they opened up communloa don wit? the navy department to know if the government would pay the cost of transportation of the hoi les of the family from San Francisco tu Washington that Hanson's boly might be properly intered in Arling ton cemetery i nc department did not know at that timo that any of tho family had sufforod In the Are, but tho enlisted man, and so wired back that ouly tho body of Hanson could be -transponed to, W?ht>.:gt?o> at the expense of the government. Io due timo a reply oamo that the bodies of Hauson, his two ohildren, wife and mother wero in tho same ci flin, and that lt would be Impossible to distinguish one from the other. Closers of tho navy department aro not generally spooky, but upon re ceipt of this telegram there was a gen eral desire to drop the matter. It was out of the ordinary run of things. It was flually decided that uuder the oi rou instances all of the h idles should be brought hero for burial In Arllng ton, and this will doubtless be done as soon as arrangements are conclud ed. ll? Ont Well. The day oaf ore tho San francisco eartl quake a naval > ill ;er on duty at Washing on, received a lettor from thc authorities of So.

Tuey desired lnform vtl >u relativo to preparing and shipping the body, The eartl q juke came tho folio ?lng day. The mau was lifted out of his bed and In what was thought tobo a dying condition taken to one of the places of refuge nearoy. Next day he was able to write his brother that bo was on tho road to rooovery, and hoped to be about his business.

That intor * ?re appn olatei because lo wdbeeoa from nu other motive than a Hoop and sympathetic regard ipr tb^t natives of India, and from a desire to know them better, and to study tho system of administration under which thoy live. It ls a fae that during tho last year or two the number of Amerloan travolers visiting India has probably exceeded those of any nationality other than British; and this faot ls only one indi cation of that eager inclination to learn more of India whloh ls at once discovered by any visitor to the Uni ted States from this country. Mr Bryan ls understood to look with nome misgivings upon the polloy of expansion in the Pacido on which his mighty nation has now entoiei; but whatever may be the principles to whloh h; adheres, we tm it, that In the vasu machinery whloh represents British rule in tho India of today, he will lind some features which may In vite his approval.

Too man who can exercise this wonderful gift is a man worth hoarlrg, and In wc!' coming Mr. Bryan among them, the olt'zons of B imbay aro gratoful foi tho kindly feeling which has led hire to consent to address them." In its lsftun of March 28, tho Times, of India, prints an acomnt of Mr. Bryan's rec ptlon In B ombay. Thlt aocount follows. "Bombay, Town Hall, in the course of Its history cxtonding now for a per iod of throe quarters of a oontury, ha> been the scene of many historic and eventful gatherings, but is is doubt ful wheth;r any have been of a morl Interesting or unique c'.araotor that the ono which took placa last even lng, when the ?pac ous hall wa? densely packe4 with citizens of Bom bay, eager to see and hear tho gnat American democratic leader, Mr, Wlibam Jennings Bryan.

At the out sot lt ls safe to say that those who had the good fortune to be present ro oelved an Intellectual treat. "Long before the time for the meet ing to oo m m en oo-0 o'clock-the Town Hall was paokod. It ls esti mated that with those standing by the windows and doors, there were quite three thousand parsons present, aud of these only a smill proportion wore seated, the sides and back of the hall being Ulled with people per 'eotly willing to put up with tho dis comfort of standing. The hall wai tastefully decorated with flags, prom inent by tho organ hoing the stars and stripes, th ? union Jaok, and the Japanese national emblem. At live minutes to s*x the Hon.

Naturally ho ls pleased with the strong endorsement given bim in many counties and the evident laok of anything like opposition to him , among the people of tho stato. Bo yond this, however, he Is greatlj natlsded with the showing made b. tho dispensary people in all directions lie is more ilrmly oouvlnced now thai over, he says, that In the omntlct whore the dispensary was voted ou there was n.> real expression of a ma Jorlty of the people. He prodlots that practically every oounty Iii the state will, as quickly as possible, desert tht prohibition farce it hns in yogue and return to tho control of the whiskej traille under the dispensary system. Senator Tillman said that it was plainly evident that tho wavo of opposition to the dispensary that ran through the state for awhile is peter ing out and ho believea that the in sbitution, under promlBO of better manage ment aud laws that will pre vent corruption and fraud, will be sustained by a larger majority than over before known in the state. Th< senator renews his promise to lead f? tight that will mean purification of h'j dispensary svs-em and tho enao tion of laws that will provent a re . urn to corruption.

It demonstrates tht strength of the dispensary forces and diows to them that if they will tum ?ut. at the primaries they have the votes to forever settle the question In he right way. Senator Tillman be 1 eveH that every friend of the dis pensary syBtaua should unhcHltntingly insist on candidates for the legislature , answering dlreatly, without evasion, \ auestiouH showlug how they stand on ( the dispnnsary question. If they do not positively as.ert their willingness to continue it under laws that will make it what lt should be he thinks they should be promptly dofeated in favor ot men with frank oonvloMons and having no underhanded projects of stabbing it in the back when in office. 8AMB OLD SWINDLE. ibout a Spanish Diphan Holme Work- I ort Over Again.

CdABGB'OF TH KPT. -- V But the Young Man's Friends Claim That Atter Being Shot by Robita His Mind Became Uncertain and Tbst Caused His Trouble. T. M. Hill, formerly anent of the Southern Ballway ab Greera, waa arrested some tims ago charged With em .( '//, lng 93 000 ot tho company's money. Kid's accounts at Greer were regularly and frequently examined by traveling auditors of the Southern, And all of them pronounced tnem cor* reot until early lu 1005, v/heu Mr. W. D. Lo ?rey olaims to have discovered : $3.000 shortage. Hill waa relieved of uta position three days before his arrest, which was in ado at the in stance, aa stated, of au agent of the \mcrloan Surety company. This concern bonds the Southerns, agents and lnaures tue railway oom* pany against loss throngh thier mis appropriation of funds. Upon the ditioovery of the alleged dhoripaney lu Hill's books, tho Southern oailed upon the bursty cc m piny to make good the loss. The money was paid ind tho bonding company tuen took up the matter of making an example of HUI. Hill was an oflloer in the PjOhby terUu ohuron and also a popu lar Sunday school teacher, and hui ar* rest produced a sensation. Four years ago an efforo was made io rob tho safe at Greer, and HUI, who was in oharge of the offloe that night, came near sacrificing his life .o save the company's property. Two nen entered the oflloe, and covering aim with pistols, ordered him to ihrow up his bandi and open the safe, mere were two otner robbers watch* tig from without. Hill threw up his uanda bu o refused to dlsokaj tue safe ?PI bl nation, whereupon he was shot uid fell to the fl jor. Lying on the loor he refused to obey a second Kdor, and this refusal, too, was fd owed by a bullet, which oras (red through the ageut's body.

Many of Hill's friends most of whom remain truo to him, do noe believe that he intended to do wrong, and and that the apparent shortage in nts otflce is the result of mental and physloal trouoles oaused by the In juries he received ai ab ?ve described.
