NEW CRIMINAL EV1DENCE Aor.


The trial of England's new criminal
evidence act, which has been in force
about two months, is being watched
with great interest. There was great
opposition to the enactment of this
measure. and very serious results of its
being put in practice We're predicted,
but there have been no sensational. de-
velopments and there probably will be
none.
For the first time in the history Of
English criminal jurisprudence, per-
sons accused of crime are now allowed
to testify in their own behalf, and they
can, if they choose, summon their
wives or husbands to the stand as wit
nesses for the defense. In this country
no harm has been known to come from
allowing prisoner to testify for him
self and probably none will result in
England. Under. the new practice,
which, it appears, was favored by a
great majority of the men qualified to
speak authoritatively concerning such
matters, convictions and acqmttals are
said to have been about equally nu-
merous. AS was to have been expect
ed, many persons under arrest are
awaiting themselves of their new privi-
lege, but trials are not seriously de-
layed in consequence, and it is reason
able to assume that in many instances
courts and juries are better informed
as to the merits of cases than they
could be under the old practice.

TIE So1DIERS, REcEp yJoN

If the ratio to population be consid-
cred, no other city could muster so
many soldiers of the Spanish war as
paraded the streets of Worcester. yes
terday afternoon. Yet these were by
no means all who went to the front
from our shops, factories and counting
rooms. Besides those who We're unable
to participate in the parade by reason
of infirmities, there are many who en-
listed in the regular service and were
therefore absent; and above all are ia
be mentioned those who have left us
never to return.
The sacrifices which the Sec
ond Sixth and Ninth regi-
ments We're called upon to make
were but the price of acknowledged SUI
periority and efficiency. Massachusetts
had the best volunteer troops in the
country, and Worcester men filled the
best regiments of Massachusetts,. 1t is
a proud distinction, but like pre-emin-
ent excellence in every walk of human
life, it has its own peculiar responsible
tiles, perils and penalties.
Thus it comes about that not only
in tie number but in the quality Of
the men furnished to the war, Worces-
ter stands at the head. Besides the con
spicuous proof afforded in the selection
of Worcester men for the most difficult
and dangerous campaign of the war
there is the personal knowledge of the
friends and neighbors of the volunteers
We know how the soldiers conduct
themselves in civir life, and what were
the positions of emolument and re-
sponsibility they held, as. well as the
sacrifices they made in order to brave
bullets and fever in defense of the
common veal. We know the hardships
and privations they endured and the
fame which they have brought to
themselves, the city, the state and the
nation.
These are obvious thoughts that must
have occurred to everybody who wit
messed the significant and interestinp

PRICE OF THE PHILIPPINES.

The announcement that our govern
ment proposes not only to take the en-
tire Philippine group but also assume
some portion Of the public debt of the
colony was foreshadowed a few days
ago. The entire Philippine debt is I'M
derstood to be $40, O00. 900 and more, and
there was common impression that
we assume all of this but also pay a
cash bonus or indemnity for them. This
would be equivalent to doubling the in
demnity, and would be quite out of the
question. The intention of the Ameri-
can commissioners as announced in
Paris, is a compromise.
The presumed Spanish proposition
differs materially from the proposition
that the United States assume the Gu
ban debt, for in that case we had ex-
pressly denied sovereignty over the is
land, while on the other hand, our
government proposes to assume and
exercise the rights of sovereignty and
Ownership over the Philippines.
ince. there is precedent for the pay
ment of an indemnity by the victor to
the vanquished Thus the United
States paid an indemnity so-called,
for the territory which it annexed as
result of the war with Mexico. The
theory seems to be that a nation an
nexes what may be described as the
net proceeds of the territory in ques-
ton; that is to say, the assets minus
the liabilities If it takes the assets,
it must also take the debts, as in fact
it has done when annexation has come
about through peaceful measures. or
course in balancing accounts after a
war, matters are not always adjusted
tory is sometimes taken without as
Stunning debt or promising indemnity
The debt which our government is
about to assume would include no part
of the war loans contracted by Spain,
but only the legitimate public debt of
the colony, incurred for the internal
improvements and other purposes
There might be some question whether
the Philippines ever derived any ben
eft from these reputed expenditures
but that need not be discussed here
1t is pertinent to inquire, however
whether the islands are still worth an,
nexing if a considerable indemnity
must be paid for the privilege. Upon
this point, the testimony is conflicting
1t appears, however, that the Span
iards paid liberal pensions out of the
revenues of the province, besides the
expenses Of administration, and still
had 100000 left, though about $sOO,OoJ
of the revenue was derived from lot
teries.

MRS. DOUGLASS LECTURE.
She Speaks at Main Street Baptist Church
on the Convict Lease System.

Last evening at the Main Street Bap-
list Church Mrs. Fred Douglass delfv-
cred a very appealing and touching lee
ture entitled, Convict lease system of
the southern states This system
originated, she said, after the civil war
when the. states became poor and grew
more ana more demoralized and the
criminal classes greatly increased. The
question was then asked, What should
be done with the criminals?' At that
Tune there We're no prisons to speak Of.
ana the convictS were consequently
leased by the states to lessees who used
them barbarously and cruelty, worked
unern IN the mines, mountains and tur-
pentine woods, denied them all human
rights, ana in the meanwhile the state
made no investigation of their condi-
tons or surroundings. Mrs. Douglass
described in an able manner the vari-
GUS outrageous treatments the conyicts
suffered IN the different southern states.
ana said that although in many of the
states the sufferings We're lessened it
was still very cruel and unhuman in
Florida, Louisiana, Georgia and Ala
bama. This lease system she believes
is in direct opposition to the principles
of the constitution of this land. for it
violates all laws of justice and truth,
and it denies to the poor negro Of the
south what Abraham Lincoln so
earnestly and faithfully worked for.
Even at the present time, the ne
groes in some Of the southern states
have not justice. There still remains
the old prejudice. The color and not
the man is thought Of
Mrs. Douglass believes that there are
places in the south that should make
us shudder as much as the prisons of
Siberia do, and surely since the south
is misguided, it is the duty of the north
to place her in the right path

HERO OF SAN JUAN,
Col. Worth Made Brigader in Regular
ARMY,

Washington, Oct S1.-The president
today appointed Col w S. Worth of
the 18th infantry in the regular service,
and a brigadier in the voluntary serv-
ice to be a. brigadier general in the
regular army, vice Gen. Coppinger, re-
tired. Gen. Worth was wounded at
San Juan, and will be placed on the re-
tired list Immediately.
Gen. Worth probably will be an in
valid during the remainder of his life.
He had a good record in the civil war,
having been breveted twice for gallant
and meritorious conduct. He has al
ready sent in his request for retire
ment. and this will leave another va
cancy in the grade Of brigadiers. Sew
eral applicants for promotions to this
rank, with an understanding that re-
tirement shall follow, have been made,
and the matter is being considered by
the president. The officer who has
been selected for the permanent place
is Maj. Gen. Thomas Anderson, second
in command in Manila. He will serve
about year before retiring.
