GENERALS ARE DISSATISFIED.
Feel That Pennsylvania Is Being Ig-
nored nv National officials.
From a staT Correspondent.

From a Staff Correspondent.
Camp Daniel II. Hastings, Mt
Gretna, May 5.-There is dissatisfac-
ton, bordering on mutiny, here today,
over the action at Washington yester-
day in appointing five major generals
and twenty-five brigade generals
without including a single officer of
the Pennsylvania National Guard.
At division and brigade headquarters
there was an open declaration that
they had been insultingly ignored. The
division officers are particularly
wrathy and are saying some spicy
things concerning what they term ac-
ton of the politicians.
If there is not some relief soon for
the present tension a scandal is not
an impossibility. The soldiers of the
various commands are being mustered
into the United States army. Soon
they will have all been mustered and
viii pass out of control of the state
authorities. They virtually have done
this already. This means that the divi-
sion officers will be drained of their
commanders and left on the field with
nothing to do but keep themselves
warm They say they do not propose
To permit this consummatiOn without
a vigorous protest. The clouds were
gathering today and possibly before
tOmorrOw's sun the storm will break
forth. When it comes it will not be
a gentle April shower.
To make matters worse General
Snowden was put in very bad
humor by slight from Major
PaXson, L. $. A. The latter
proceeded to prepare batteries A
and c for hurried departure and to-
tally ignored the division commander,
forgetting possibly that the batteries
had not at that time been sworn in
as regular army men and were still
under General Snowdcn. This evening
Major PaXson made excuses to Gen
eral Snowden and to straighten mat
ters out the departure of the batteries
will be dealt with by official order
through General Snowden tomorrow
morning. The batteries go to Newport
News tonight. r. j. Duffy.

revenues which support our govern
ment by our tariff on imports. If these
lands are annexed our tariff ceases to
apply to their products, for the cOnsti-
tuition in express terms declares that
no tax or duty shall be laid on articles
exported from any state. When,
therefore, the Hawaiian or Philippine or
Ladrone islands become part of the
United States, our farmer not only
loses all tariff protection against their
products, but the country loses all the
revenues derived from our present tariff
on such products. No tariff can be laid
on any product, agricultural mineral
OF manufactured, of any of these newly
acquired countries. The result is that
the revenues so lost must be replaced
by other taxes, and these must be some
form of internal revenue taxes, stamp
taxes and taxes on articles of domestic
consumption. Here the interest of the
farmers is touched. 1t is apparently
the belief of farmers that they now pay
an undue proportion of taxes. If this is
true, what shall be said of Imperialism,
whose first and certain result is an in
crease of the farmers taxes? But far
worse than this is the vast increase of
taxation made necessary by our in
creased army and navy. The imperial
istic cry is for more battleShipS, a larg-
er navy, an army, a standing army of
100, 900 men. A moderate estimate of
the cost of our government annually
under imperialism is two billions of dol
lars. or more than twice our annual eX-
penses under our most eXtravagant ad-
ministrations hitherto.
Nothing can prevent our being mum
dated too, by the cheapest labor of the
world if Imperialism prevails. Farmers
Of New England do not believe in Ash
attic cheap labor. We have tried for
twenty-five years to stem the food of
Chinese cheap labor, and now all bar
riers are to be thrown down to let in
1000, 900 of Filipinos, a half million of
Hawaiians, Chinese and Japanese now
settled in the Hawaiian islands, and
another half million of the natives of
Porto Rico, to compete with the sons
and daughters of the farmers of Mas
sachUsetts and New England.

BOTH ARE FIRM.
Little Change in Shoe
Strike at Marlboro.

Marlboro, Dec 14-Talk of a settle
ment of the existing labor trouble in
this city was the sole topic Of discussion
today. Both manufacturers and shoe
workers seem as firm in their position
as when the strike commenced. Today
the committee appointed by the mem
bcrs of the incoming city government
called upon John OConnell & Sons and
talked the matter over. Later the COM
mittee met the labor agents at the
Windsor House and heard the working
mems side Of the controversy. The
committee is very reticent concerning
what took place at the meeting, but
from all that can be ascertained moth
ing definite has been decided upon.
The joint council of the boot and
shoe workers union has extended an
invitation to the clergyman of every
denomination in the city to meet the
members of the council Thursday night
in order to discuss the situation. The
American Federation of Labor at it's
convention, held at Kansas City has
endorsed the position of the Marlboro
strikers, and has declared the products
Of the Marlboro manufacturers against
which the unions have struck, as I'M
fair goods. In plain words, this means
boycott and applies to all of the
goods turned out by Rice & Hutchins.
Nothing can be said concerning the
Rice & Hutchins factory and the course
the firm may take regarding settle
ment, as w. B. Rice has gone to Wash
ington. The threatened removal from
this city of the business done by the
firm at the Getting avenue factory does
not seem to affect the local labor lead
ers in the least as far as the continu-
ance of the strike is concerned

there were interests of the farmers

IMPERIALISM.
Elk. Gov. Chamberlain Talks
on the Question.

Warren Dec 14.-There was an inter
esting meeting of the West Brookfeld
Farmers Club at the home of Senator
Wilson H. Fairbanks, in this town, to-
day. The principal speaker was ex-
Gov. D. H. Chamberlain. His subject
was "Wnl imperialism, so-called, prob

Ex-Gov. Chamberlain first observed
that only a week ago he had in this
town before the Quaboag Historical
Society discussed Imperialism in gener-
al Many who are here present had
heard him on that occasion. He did
not propose to repeat himself, but af-
ter summarily stating his reasons and
conclusions as presented on the for
mer occasion, to pay special attention
to the effect of Imperialism upon the
| farmers of this country
| In his view, imperialism meant, first,
a complete new departure IN our policy

commissioners, presented by the American

Spanish peace commissioners, presented
by the ambassador of Spain, Senior Leon
Y Castillo formally called upon President
Faure and the minister of foreign affairs,
M. Delcasse, today, to thank them for the
lSindnesses extended to the peace commits
sioners while at the French capital. Pres
ident Faure received the Americans al the
Elysee palace. The reception was really
an informal exchange of compliments,
President Faure speaking partly in French
and partly in English, and Judge Day
speaking for the Americans
The latter expressed the pleasure ou
commissioners felt in conducting the ne
gotiatons in the capital of France, and
M. Faure said he hoped they had been
pleased with their reception here. Then
Judge Day, in the name of President Nc
Kinley thanked President Faure for the
uniform courtesy extended to the Ameri-
cans here, and remarked that Paris had
been the scene of the most important ne
gotiations between the United States and
foreign powers particularly the signing OF
the treaty by which England recognized
the independence of the United States
President Faure requested the American
commissioners to convey to President Nc
Kinley and the American people expires
sions of the warm sympathy of France
He then wished the Americans a pleasant
voyage.

HIS REVENGE.
Upton Man Takes Peculiar
Way to Spite Son-in-law.

Upton, Dec. 14.-Prompted by spirit
of revenge against his son-in-law, Sam
uel Willis, Thomas Fielding, an old
time resident of this town, went to the
burying ground here this afternoon. and
with a sledge hammer undertook to
batter down the headstone marking the
grave of his wife who died but a few
years ago.
Persons who We're in the cemetery
about o'clock, heard the sounds of the
heavy hammer striking the stone, and
upon investigation found Fielding MAX
ing desperate efforts to demolish the
stone. He was compelled to desist from
further efforts in that direction. He
explained that he was doing it not to
cast any reflection uDon his wife, whose
memory he respected. but to get even
with his son-in-laW, by whom the stone
was purchased and set in place last
summer
There is a long story of family trou-
bic between Mr.. Fielding and his SON
in-law, and on account of differences of
opinion and domestic troubles, there
have been several cases of assault, etc,
in court. 1t seems that shortly after
the death of Mr.. Fielding's wife, he
signed over all his property to his SON
in-law, with the understanding that he
should be given a home and properly
treated during the rest of his life.
Since allowing the property to pass
away from his control Mr. Fielding
says he has been shabbily treated and
that promises made have not been lived
