why virg,nians Hate Malone.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-The average
Virginian halls with delight the report that
Senator Malone is going to remove from
that state. Probably the report is untrue
put he halls it all the same, for your aver
age Virginian Democrat hates Malone cor
daily. They say of him that his profess
sions in the past few years have been en-
tirely hypocritical.
THE fact is said one of them, talking to
your correspondent yesterday, Malone had
always been one of the worst negro-haters in
our state until he saw his opportunity to use
negroes for his own aggrandizement. Then
he became one of their most ardent support
ers. Why, I remember only few years ago,
when he was outspOken against them. that he
was willing to resort to any means to defraud
them of their votes I remember one case in
which he hired 500 of them and put them to
work in coal mine the day before election
and deliberately pulled up the ladders so as to
prevent them coming out to vote on election
day. On another occasion he gave out word
that there had been a great slide or some
thing or other on his railroad and hired 500
more to go to work there. Then when ne got
them so far away from home that they could
not walk there on election day. he ordered
the engineer to lay up his train and keep
them there until election was over. That is
the sort of a man he was until he wanted to
use their votes, when he turned around, in
vited them to his home and filed his parlors
with them. and himself and wife poured out
champagne for them. That is why the Vir-
ginians hate Malone so, because they know
how entirely untrue are his political profess

Gone Home to Die.

WASHINGTON Nov. 16.--William Hunter,
second assistant secretary of state. is sick
at his home and his associates in Office
never expect to see him at his desk again.
Mr.. Hunter is the oldest official in con-
tinuous service of the United States living
to-day. He was appointed clerk in the
state department from Rhode Island, in
1929, and filled several other positions up to
1866, when he was commissioned second as
sistant secretary, which Office he still holds.
There is probably no man living to-day so
intimately connected with diplomatic af-
fairs of the United States or whose
knowledge of the diplomatic moves
of this government is so thor
ough as that of William Hunter.
There is little in the secret history of the
officers of state of the United States with
which he is not familiar. His most cele-
brated work was the letter which he wrote
the Austrian government on the Costa case.
which was signed by Daniel Webster while
sick in bed. The only change in that we'll
known document which Mr.. Webster
deemed advisable to make was the substi-
tuition of the word cannot" for Twill not"
in the sentence defining the position of the
United States with regard to naturaliZa-
ton. In politics Mr.. Hunter was staunch
Democrat. He frequently asserted the
strength of his Democracy, and always
added: Il have not voted in fifty years"

BELGRADE, Nov. 16-After desperate
fighting yesterday the Servians secured DOS

sides were heavy. This victory enabled the
Servlans to turn the very difficult and rocky
gorge of Dragoman pass, and the Bulga-
rlans, after gallant resistance. retreated
to Sllvntza, where an important en-

day, which will probably decide the fate
OF Sofia. (The direct road to Sofia passes
through TZanibrod and Dragoman), but
another runs by way of Tein and Tarns,
both defles of Tzanibrod and Dragoman,
reaching Sofia by way of Bresnin. 1t is
probable that on the latter road the fight of

Brisson.s Statement.

PARIS, Nov. 16.-Prime Minister Bris-

cover the deficits in the finance department,
arising from commercial depression and
military expenditures. Meanwhile the gov

that all political parties uphold France as
republic. The statements made by the

The Deadly Scissors.

CHICAGO, Nov. 1o.-Mrs. Mary Parker
was arrested to-day charged with having
caused the death of her husband, William
Parker, who died Friday night at his home.
On Tuesday Parker left the saloon where
he was employed as bartender in company
with carpenter, George Oxford, whom he
had employed to put up storm door. That
evening he received a cut in the temple
which caused death. Oxford refused to say
anything about the cause of Parkers death,
and Mrs. Parker's explanation was merely
that she believed the storm door fell upon
her husband, injuring him so that he died.
The coroner's jury found that the man. s
death was occasioned by wound in his
head made with sharp instrument. Part
OF the evidence brought out was that Parker
told the physician who attended him that
his wife had struck him with pair Of scis-
sors. 1t was represented that Mrs. Parker
had violent temper, and the jury recon-
mended she be held for trial.

Town Site Occupants.
Special to the Globe.

Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-In the supreme
court, in the cases of Philander Sparks ct
al VS.. Moses Pierce ct al, and Of Edward
Deffenbach VS.. Robert Hawke, involving
the rights of claimants to mineral deposits
in town sites to eject settlers, affirmed the
DEGREES of lower court against town site
occupants.
Two federal questions arose on the record
in these cases; first. that the act of the state
legislature and the taxes levied in pursu-
ance of it, if enforced would, in effect, take
the property of the roads without due pro-
cess of law: and second, that they consti-
tute denial of the equal protection of the
laws, violating in both particulars the
fourteenth amendment to the constitution
of the United States. The court holds that
the proceedings to raise public revenue by
levyng and collecting taxes are not neces-
sarily judicial, and that ''due process of
law" as applied in the case, does
not imply or require the right to such no
tce of bearings as is essential to the va
lidity of judicial proceedings. Respecting
the question of discrimination against rail-
road companies and their property as being
obnoxious to the fourteenth constitutional
amendment, the court holds that the
RULE OF EQUITY
in respect to this subject only requires the
same means and methods to be applied to
all the constituents of each class. so that
the law shall operate equally and uniformly
upon all persons in similar circumstances.
There is no objection, the opinion de-
clares, to the determinations as between
railroad companies and other corporations in
the method by which the value of
their property is ascertained. The court
also rendered decisions in two public land
cases brought upon appeal from the judg-
ment of the supreme court of Dakota.
The first (Diffenbach VS.. Hawk was an
action to recover a parcel of mineral lands
upon which is built the city Of Deadwood.
The land was entered and paid for in Janu
ary, 1878, and in July following the pro-
bate judge, acting as trustee for the town,
entered the same land. The supreme court
holds that no title from the United States to
and known at the time to be mineral land
can be acquired under the pre-emption,
homestead or town-site laws. The mining
claim of the plaintiff in the case was per-
fected, and title had actually passed to him
before the probate Judge took initial pro-
ceedings. The United States had, there
fore, nothing to convey. Judgment against
the town affirmed. The other case is SIM
liar. except the town, Central City, Oak,
made no entry. Judgment against the town
was affirmed.

In His Coffin. But Not Dead.

CHICAGO, Nov. 16.-It is rumored here
to-day that AZari one of the Italian mur-
deres hanged Saturday, was not killed, and
when the coffins were opened at the ceme-
terry his body had changed its position and
showed signs of life. 1t was said that the
attendants, alarmed at the discovery and
fearing that the murderer's restoration to
life would cause him to suffer second
hanging, hastily screwed down the coffin
cover again. The coffins we're placed il the
vault, owing to indications that the bodies
if buried. would be taken from their graves.
Mr.. E. G. Mill, president of the society for
the burial of INDECENT Italians, to whom the
bodies were sent, was seen to-day in rela-
ton to the matter. He admitted that the
body of Azari had changed its position, but
believed that life was extinct when the
coffin was Onened

DUSTY SHEET MUSIC.
How the Demand for Old Songs Has
Declined.

Pittsburg Commercial-Gazette.
1T really is surprising. sir, to find how
steadily the demand for old-time songs
keeps up" said popular music dealer yes
terday to a Commercial Gazette reporter.
The above remark caused inquiries to be
made among the various music dealers in the
city concerning the direction the public taste
for music is running. In almost every in
stance it was found that the old songs, the
good old songs" as they are properly
termed, have a great hold on the public,
notwithstanding the many new and attrac-
tive additions to the long vocal list.
stephen c. Fosters The Old Folks at
Home and My Old Kentucky Home seem
to be ever green," said well-known
dealer.
1.-The demand for them, and also for all
the old patriotic songs relating to early days
of what is termed 'minstrels,' keeps strong
and steady. 1t must be that no house
where there is musical instrument is with
out the songs have mentioned"
Among the other old songs, but of later
date, mentioned as maintaining their popu-
larity, are: ''Only to See Thy Face, y
Far Away" when You and 1 Were
Young, Maggie" and songs of a similar
class.
Songs from old operas also have stead
ier sale than the --latest attractions from
the new operas. Such songs as Then
You'll Remember Me-" Happy Moments, -
Loves Request" by the old composers,
are in much steadier demand than the songs
in any of the very latest operas. One mu-
sic dealer said: ''It is fact that our very
best songs, l mean musically best, are
never the most popular. The public taste
is for something trashy. For instance,
look at the great demand for such song as
climbing Up the Golden Stairs" or any
of those trashy and common songs that the
public goes wild about for a few
weeks. There really is so little real
music in these effusions and so lit
tie sense in their words that the public it.
self becomes tired of them. But no sooner
is the tiredneSs shown than the vendors of
this stuff give the public another dose. and
so this taste for trashy effusions is kept up"
In dance music the public taste, as shown in
the music stores, indicate that waltZes are
the most popular. 1t is shown that taste
for high-claSs waltz is on the increase. Such
delightful and sound composers as Waldteu-
fel, LoWthian and Strauss are in great de-
mand. NaltZeS taken from songs are for
short time popular, but their emptiness
soon causes them to resume the shelf. Some
of these live longer than others, but none of
them are lasting. My Queen" See
Saw" and dream Faces" all have been
very popular. but any of Strauss or Low
thian's waltzes will last ten times longer
than any of them. For instance, "The
Beautiful Danube" or Lowthian's ''Myos-
otion' waltzes have lived long time and
will live much longer. There is compare
lively little demand for operas. What
there is is for the latest comic operas. AL
together the bulk of the public music taste
is for something light and trashy, with fire.

Wasteful Appropriations.

| Special TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Congressman
Grain Of Galveston district, Texas, is ar
! dent in his advocacy of what he thinks
would be more satisfactory system of dis
| bursting the river and harbor appropriations.
| His views on the subject are especially in
teresting from the fact that his district
takes in nearly the entire coast of Texas,
! extending from Galveston bay to the mouth
| of the Rio Grande. and about five hundred
miles up that river to Eagle Pass. He says
| that the government has already spent a
great deal of money with view to deep
ening the channel at BraZoS, Santiago, Ar
| kansas Pass, Pass Cabolla and at other
! places, and only in few cases have salts
| factory results been secured. The apprO-
| priations for the improvement at the mouth
| of the BraZos have been, he says, practi-
cally wasted because of their meagerness.
| The effect of the incomplete work there has
| been, it is alleged, to lessen the waters
depth on the bar instead of increasing it.
| Despite the fact that a vast sum of money
has been expended on Galveston harbor,
there is a well-deined opinion as to the eff
feet of the supposed improvement. Friends
of those who have grab at the appropria-
tions contend that the water has been deep
ened two feet, while public-spirited citi-
Zens of Galveston aver that there has been
no perceptible
INCREASE OF WATER.
''Under the present d1ible5 system of ap-
propriations,' said Congressman Grain to
your correspondent, "a very large amount of
public money is wasted. 1t would seem to
me whenever a work is deemed of enough
Importance to justify extending government
aid to complete it, that the entire amount of
money necessary to that end should be appro-
priated at once, or at least sufficient amount
to keep work going on constantly from year
to year until its completion. In this way I
believe tangible result would be secured,
and there would be true economy in the ex-
penditure instead of a waste. As a class
United States engineers are a very
competent set of men, and if their
efforts to secure deep water on
cause of lack of ability on their part, but
because of the injudicious distribution of
money for public Improvements. I say, let
the government first determine upon the
necessity of an Improvement, have plan
and estimate of the cost prepared, and then
appropriate enough money to pay for the
work and pay the amount subject to the
draft of engineers in charge"
Mr.. Grain is of opinion that the gulf
coast needs protection from the attacks of a
possible enemy as well as do harbors. He
proceeds on the ground that if the Atlantic
coast has reason to be protected, the gulf
coast has the same reason. He will work
for legislation on this subject, he says.

Must Remove the Fenc es.



OMAHA, Nov. 16.-The decision of JUS
tice Miller of the United States supreme
court, in the celebrated Brighton-Rand
case, was received in Omaha to-day. 1t
sustains the mandatory injunction of the
United States district court for the present
and future. The Brighton company had
fenced in 5000 acres of government
land in Custer county with ffty-seven
miles of wire fence. Proceedings were
begun some time ago to compel the COM
pany to remove the fence, and they fought
it desperately, carrying the case to the su-
preme court, in which they have been de-
feated. Justice Mller's decision settles all
doubtful points on the question OF fencing
the public domain, and this case will be
used as precedent in similar suits when
ever they are brought. The Brighton COM
pany will have to Immediately remove the
fence.

SerFia Coudan,ned.

LONDON, Nov. 16.-The Times severely
censures the conduct of Servia in declaring
war against Bulgaria, and says:
1t is evident that Servia acts on the
prompting of Austria, and, although
1t is not to our interest to prevent
conflict between Russia and Austria. we
cannot help feeling that Ausiria's course Of
action is neither dignifed nor straightfor-
ward, and that she will refuse to accompany
Germany in the path of reference to Russia.
This portends serious changes in the system
of European states. The fact that Russia is
unprepared for war is dominant feature of
the existing situation.
