INVESTIGATED

YESTERDAY long dispatch came to
the HERALD, depicting in narrowing
terms the awful suffering that had been
the lot of our brave soldiers at Santi-
ago, ut Montsuk, and at every one OF
the concentration camps. 1t was re-
lated how the president had determin-
ed to order an investigation into the
conduct OF the war, in order to fix the
responsibility for the manifest short
comings. The president received hume
rous congratulations for the course he
proposed to take in the matter. 1t
really looked as il ,there was very
good chance of finding the guilty man
or men and getting rid OF them.
A later dispatch told that the presi-
dent had given it out officially that he
had reconsidered his determination
and would leave the Investigating, if
there must be any, to congress.
We are very sorry that events have
taken this turn. 1t will work no good
to the administration to present the
the president has good and sufficient
grounds for his action. 1t would be
fairer, maybe, to take his action ION
faith and wait for developments. But
in a matter Of this sort, which affects
intimately every American citizen,
explanation for his action.
So rank have been the evils connect
cd with the army administration that
the conduct of that department has
cast u shadow over what would other
wise be an administration of exception
nj brillisncy. Whether rightly or
wrongly, the country has spprehended
that the man at the head of the war
department, Russell A. Alger,o of Mich
igan, is not only by his position, but
directly, responsible for many of the
awful things that have been reported
by the soldiers, by their officers, by
newspaper correspondents, and by pri-
vate individuals. II Secretary Alger
had been removed summarily from his
position several weeks ago the whole
country, regardless of party, would
have praised President Mckinley for
his tirmness.
Some people charge Alger with
corruption and low methods of the
most contemplate sort. We know
nothing OF these-and we know about
as much, doubtless, as most of those
who make the charges-but of hope
less incompetence and utter inability
to meet the situation he has given nu-
merous evidences. In this case it is
not only money and time that are at
stake, as in similar Encouragement In
the case of mercantile concerns. In
finitely greater than these, there are
thousands OF human lives ut stake. 1t
is no time for doubts. The country
ought to know that its leaders are COM
peteut to do what is demanded of
them.
The thing the country demands now
is an impartial investigation, the soon
err the better. And there should be
no politics mixed up with it. The
men of the investigating committee
ought to be of such unouestionable
worth and integrity that not one citi-
zen could have cause to charge unfair
ness. The investigation ought to be
public in the fullest sense. IL there is
nothing to conceal there is nothing to
fear from disclosure. IL there is any

Mckinley The Statesman

London Times.
''If foreign observers might presume
TO have an opinion upon his conduct, il
would probably be that President Nc
kinley has kept his finger constantly
upon the national pulse and has known
how to stimulate and direct national
thought without too markedly outrun-
ming its movement. Everything has
been done in the open, every move has
been discussed a. a possibility all over
the United States before the govern
ment was irrevocably committed one
way or the other, and the result of this
cautious, tentative policy is that where
he stands at this moment, the presi-
dent has the whole American people at
his back. We do not know that there
can be any higher craftsmanship for a
president governing under the consti-
tuition of the United States.''

CRISIS FOR AGUINALDO.
The Filipino Cabinet Resigns in q
Body.

Manila, Dec. 27.-The So-called con-
gress of the revolutionary government
of the Filipinos which has been in ses-
sion for some time at Malilos has un-
expectedly adjourned, owing to the
difficulty of forming a, constitution.
A cabinet of President AguinaldO, ap-
pointed at Bacoor on July 15 last and
named in the Bacoor proclamation is
sued on that date, has resigned.
General Aguinaldo, who had been at
Malilos, came from there to Santa
Anat, a suburb of Manila. He then
visited Paterno, and now, it is reported,
he has gone to CaVite ViejO, the old
town of Cavite. Reliable adviceS say
that while he was at Paterno he was
indefatigable in his efforts to overcome
the policy of the militant factions, which
is hostile to the Americans. It is prob
able that his influence will avail to
avert trouble.
The Filipino cabinet, proclaimed at
Bacoor on July Is. in conformity with
a decree issued by the revolutionary
government on June IA, was made up of
the following personnel:
President of the council of ministers,
with the ad interim portfolios of foreign
affairs, marine and commerce, General
Emilio Aguinaldo Fanny.
Secretary of war and public works,
SenOr Don BaldanorO Aguinaldo,
nephew of General Aguinaldo.
Secretary of the interior, Senior Don
Leandero Ibarra.
Secretary of agricultural, Senor Don
Mariana TriaS.

PROMINENT MEN INDICTED
Record in Fort Scott Court of Appeals
DisclOses News.

Fort Scott, Dec. 27.-The Allen county
cases, in which a dozen defendants were
last month sentenced to pay from $50
to 81 300 fine and Imprisonment of from
so to 900 days, were appealed to the ap-
pellate court in this city today, and the
papers disclose the fact that some
prominent men of lola and Humboldt
were indicted though they seem to have
kept their names out of the local papers.
Ex-Mayor w. T. Elroy of Humboldt,
ex-Mayor E. L. Taylor of lola and Po-
lice Judge Jacob Gard of lola are
among the defendants, and were today
released by Judge Manifold Schoonover
on a temporary writ of habeas corpus.
They are under bond of $500 each.
Twelve men convicted, and several SEN
fenced, for selling liquor, have appealed.
The police judge and ex-mayors were
indicted by a grand jury under section
9, chapter 165, OF the laws of 1887. Police
Judge Gard claims that this law is I'M
constitutional, because it is an invasion
of the judiciary which is a coordinate
branch of the government. This section
of the law fixes the responsibilities OF
city officers in regard to the enforce
ment of the prohibitOry liquor law. The
habeas corpus hearings were set for
March IA in this city. The convicted Ii
quor men, in their appeal, attack the
validity of the grand jury, alleging var
ious Irregularities.

The house then adjourned till 10
o'clock tomorrow morning.
The full text of house concurrent res
olution No. 2, introduced by Mr.. Keefer
of LeavenwOrth, is as follows:
States recognized the menace of organ
the railways of the country, organized
through the congress of 1878, the inter
state commerce commission for the reg
uIation of such corporations and for the
protection of the rights of the weak
against the strong; and,
Whereas, After an earnest attempt
upon the part of that commission for 20
years to expose abuses and enforce the
acts of congress, 1t is by it's own admis-
sion, through the interference of federal
courts, failure.
Resolved, By the house of representa-
tives of the state of Kansas, the SEN
ate concurring therein:
That we heartily endorse the recon-
mendations of General James Long
street, commissioner of railroads, in his
annual report for 1898 which reads,
THAT the government construct and Op-
crate a first-class, double-track railroad
from Kansas City to San Diego by an
air line route, the advantages of which
will be to draw the people nearer the
gether in interests and sympathy and
will serve them as a safeguard against
the monopoly or corporations.
Resolved, That a copy of these reso-
1utions be engrossed and forwarded to

MORRILL, DYING.
Patriarch of the q. s. Senate
HOpelessly Ill.

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator Morrill,
of Vermont is seriously i'll with ar at
tack of grip, complicated with lung and
heart trouble, and his death. it is said
this afternoon, is but a matter of a
short time. The senator is 88 years old.
and owing to the weakness consequent
of his great age, cannot shake off the
attack of the grip.
The grip is complicated with a touch
of pneumonia, and latterly his heart
also has become affected, so that DR..
Van Rensselaer,, his physician, this
afternoon held out no hope for his re-
covery. The senator has been for some
years the patriarch of the senate and
has held a warm place in the affections
of his associates. He likewise has en-
joyed the fullest confidence of his con-
stituents. who, Notwithstanding his
years, reelected him in 1896 for a fifth
consecutive term, which will not expire
until March 3, 1903. It has been his
annual custom for several years past
to make one formal address on some
topic of live interest to the senate, and
this has been listened to with attention
by his colleagues, who have regarded
these speeches as remarkable in view
of the age of their author The last ad-
dress was delivered a week or more be-
fore the Christmas holiday adjourn
ment, the subject being, The Need OF
a Building for the Use of the United
States Supreme Court and Other
Courts" Its deliverance showed few
signs of lessened vitality and at its
conclusion the honor was done the SEN
atOr of an unanimous passage of the
resolution on which he spoke.
Senator Morrill, was born in STAFFORD,
Vt. April a. 1910 In early life he was
a merchant and later an agricultural
ist He was elected to the house of
representatives in the ThirtY-fOurth n
congress and for four succeeding terms.
Then he was transferred to the senate
as a Union Republican. taking his seat
March T. 1857. Since that time his SER
vice has been continuous and he has
the record of the longest unbroken
term of service in the history of the SEN
ate He has taken an important part
in the legislation of the last thirty
years, especially on commercial and
financial questions, his position as
chairman of the finance committee Civ
ms him a leading part in all measures
relating to the tariff, banking or cur
rency.
At 2:3O p. m. DR.. Van Rensselaer, said
that Senator Morrill, was sinking slowly
and would not live until morning.
