HORRIBLE SPANISH ORUELTIEs.
Tortures of tEae EBquisitfon Renewed
in the Philippine Tsiapds,

WICHITA, Kan, Dec. s, 1S96.-C. H
Davidson, a banker of this city, has re-
ceived a letter from his son, Mr.. James
Wheeler Davidson, a member of the I'm
perial japanese Guard, who is stationed
at Fcrmosa. telling of the horrible cruel
ties OF the SpaniaTds toward the natives
OF the Philippine Islands, who are now in
reNoluton against their oppressors.
Young Davidson went to the Philippine
Islands recently to investigate the condi-
ton OF affairs there and report to the
japanese Government. He found that the
natives and half caste were being sub
Jected TO the most cruel tortures known
70 history and their condition was so
pitlabie as to excite his deepest sympathy
but he dared not make known the real
facts While on the islands without i'm
periling his life.
The methods of torture inflicted by
the lnquisition are resorted to, and he
declares that $4,000 suspects have been
arrested and thrown into foul prisons
and dungeons at Manila. The black
hole of Calcutta has grim rival IN
Manila, and Mr.. Davidson describes the
death of fifty-nine unfortunates, who
were smothered in the black hole there.
There is a large underground pit in Man
ia, with an opening above and four
hundred natives were thrust into it at
one time and the opening closed The
foul air was soon exhausted and the
imprisoned wretches made for a breath
of air and fought each other like de-
mons. Their cries and pleadings fafled
to move the heart of the sentry and
hfty-nine were Smothered.

A Prominent Member Says the
Leagues Charges Are
Untrue.

After the meeting of the Minkakwa
Club, held at its rooms on Ocean avenue
last evening, a prominent member made
the following statements to News
reporter in regard to the charges made
by the Greenville Republican League, as
published exclusively In last evenings
News" =
We did not wish to make any state
nent in regard to the charges made by
the League, but since they have been
made public in The News I win say for
the club that the Leagues charges are in
aimost every instance untrue. The prom
anent member who was ordered out was
annoying the Election Board At the
meeting of the ward association, held a
short time before the primary, it was de-
cided that after voting no one would be
permitted in the room except the Election
Board, but as Ut was cold night we per-
mitted this gentleman to remain in the
room, where it was warm, but as he Of
fered so many suggestions and annoyed
the Board so much he was ordered out
1t Is not customary to hold a special en~
rollment.
'The League members were not very
regular in their attendance at meetings
of the ward association. They were never
present except when money was to be dis
tributed. In regard to the charge Of
crooked work, / will say that the young
man. as far as l know, voted the League
ticket. The young man, a stranger to us,
bore his fathers surname and voted so
the name was checked When the father
appeared to vote of course he was not
permitted to do sos
When asked about the refusal of the
Board TO permit Bennett to vote, the
gentleman said that he had nothing to
say except that when Bennett ran for

AT THE OPENING OF CONGRESS.
All the Jersey Delegation Present
Senator Smiths Flowers

WASHINGTON, Dec. s, 1S96-All the
members of the New Jersey delegation
were on hand yesterday at the opening
of Congress. In the Senate MIR. Sewell
was hid behind several large bouquets
of roses and carnations and held quite a
reception being warmly greeted by SEN
ators. Lodge, Mcmillan and Chandler, and
especially by Senator Cameron Of Penn
sylvania. Senator Smith was the recipi-
ent OF an immense floral tribute which
lowered several feet into the air. 1t was
a huge basket of roses, with yards of
pink ribbons and came from the Joel
Parker Association of Newark None of
the congressman were so kindly remem-
bered.
Senator Smith had more honors in store
for him, however, than being the recipi-
ent Of the largest floral piece in the
Senate Chamber. Hsfwas selected by the
Vice President as the representative of
Z the Democrats TO wait upon the President
70 notify him that Congress was in ses-
sion. 1t was stated in this correspond
ence some days ago that Senator Smith
would be given recognition to a greater
extent than is generally accorded to a
new Senator, and this action yesterday
corroborates that view. Senator Smith
was warmly congratulated upon his Sc
lection yesterday.

HOO1lNG M'RUGH.
Socialists and a Stevedore Stir
Up Hoboken Long
shoremen.

Edward NcHugh, the English labor
agitator, who has been in Hoboken for
the last two weeks, trying to effect an
Organization of the longshoremen of
that city announced that he would
speak in Fishers Hall, on Hudson street,
last evening.
Whensthe meeting was called to order
there were large number of Social
lists present. AS soon as McHugh arose
to address the audience the Socialists
hooted and made such disturbance
that McHugh for the time being was
compelled to stop speaking.
Proprietor Adolph Fisher of the hall
demonstrated with the disturbing ele-
ment and attempted to eject julius
in return attempted to strike the pro-
prietor blow in the face.
The longshoremen in the crowd then
asserted themselves and elected Farhdt
from the hall.
McHugh at last secured order and
spoke on the virtues of the iLongshore-
them to organize union in Hoboken
for the purpose of decreasing the
amount of their labor and increasing
the amount of their wages.
At 1890 today McHugh mounted a box
at the head of River street on Fourth
street and started to address a crowd of
two hundred longshoremen, who came up
along River street from the different
Standing in the crowd was Stevedore
Jerry Meyer, stevedore on the Thingvalla
line pier.
McHugn had not spoken a half dozen
words when Meyer shouted, what! Are
these labor men trying to interfere with
the longshorSmen again?
Immediately there was an uproar, and
the longshere,men shouted, PUT him outI
Kick him oue! Shut your facel If you
CONT want to listen get to h awayi'
Two of MeHugh's escorts started to
plead with Meyer to go away, but he had
already begau to move away from the an
cry crowd.
After an uproar of a few minutes Nc
Hugh was able to make himself heard.
He referred to the meeting which the
Socialists had attempted to break up last
evening.
Speaking of Meyer he said, 1.-THE reason
that man does not want you to organize is
because he IS on your backs now, and has
not made enough money out of your mis-
cradle labor to satisfy himself. He has
got you men by the throat and will have
you there u1ftil you organize and throw
those hands from you" 4
McHugh advised the men to organize
and told of the success he had met with
IN New York and Brooklyn.
McHugh spoke for twenty minutes
and then the whistle blew for the men to
go to work. He told them to think well
of what he had said to them while at
work

Baltimore Merchants Want she Cow
ernment TO Abandon Banking.

BALTIMORE, Dec 8, 1S96.-The Board
of Trade has adopted a series of resolu-
tions expressing its sense of relief and
satisfaction over the recent victory for
sound money and realizing the necessity
for the correction of the evils that have
led to the harmful financial agitation of
the past few years. favors a change in
the currency system of the government
The resolutions declares that Congress
sional action is imperatively needed along
the following ltnes:-
To withdraw the government from the
banking business by the retirement.
through funding or cancellation of all its
demand obligations, the opinion of this
board being that the business of banking
IS not proper function of the United
states treasury and the private and cor
porate capital of the country under proper
legislation would be quite sufficient for
all the financial and commercial requires
ments.
Will at an early date provide the coun-
try with a bank currency equally safe
and uniform as that now in use but
more elastic in character special refer
ences being had to the needs in this
particular of the agricultural sections of
the South and West
To provide. such an increase in its
revenue as will enable the government
economically administered, to meet
promptly all its obligations.
Pending the enactment of these
measures such prompt legislation as
may be needed to insure the stability
of the gold reserve so that no doubt
as to the ability of the government to
maintain the parity of all Of its issues
may ever again disturb public conf
dence.
I'm endorsing the above measures this
Board would take occasion to express the
opinion that the sale of bonds by the
Government in time of peace, though fully
justified by the necessities of the last
few years, furnishes such evidence of de-
fective and unwise legislation in the past
as to require its immediate correction by
Congress-

A PERMANENT CENSUS.
Carroll ID. Wright Submits His Plan
80 Congresn-Tha Exnanse

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8. 1Ss6.-Carroll d.
Wright Commissioner of Labor. sent to
Congress today his report upon plan
lor permanent census service in ac-
March 10, 1895. Mr. Wright is satisfied
tnat the true principles on which a per-
nanent census office to do the work OF
decennial census should be based are ali
to be found in the reports already made
to Congress.
he thinks that the decennial census OF
the population Should include such srscfo-
logical data as Congress may authorize
IN order to secure comparison with the
past ana valuable information for the fu-
ture, but the number OF the people ought
to be known at more frequent periods
than decennially. This need not be a very
expensive matter, especially If proper ar
rangements are made with States taxing
censuses Of their own.
The expense OF conducting a permanent
census bureau and taking a decenI1ial
oenass Mr.. Wright estimates Il ~ aver-
