Telephone Company Loses It's Suit
Against Patrick inland.

Judge Cole this morning decided very
interesting question in the case of the
Chesapeake and Potomac Telephone Com
pany against Patrick T. INLAND. In 1895
INLAND, who is plumber in connecting a
house on NJ Street with the gas main
drove q pipe underground which passed
through the conduit of the telephone
company. Neither the company nor Nj
land knew that this had been done until
more than three years had elapsed. The
company recently, in endeavoring to run
it's wires through this conduit, first learn
ed of the obstruction. 1t became necessa-
ry to dig up the streets and lay a new
section of the conduit. The company
then brought suit against INLAND to re-
cover damages for the injury done.
Clarence A. Brandenburg, who appeared
for INLAND, .o0ntended the suit was barred
by limitations. 1t was centended on be-
half of the company that suit could be
brought at any time within three years
after the discovery of the injury.
Judge Cole sustained the position pre-
sented by Mr.. Brandenburg and rendered
Judgment for the defendant, holding that
in this jurisdiction at least, in the abb
sence of fraud by the defendant conceal
ing the wrong done hmita tions began to
run from the date of the commission of
the act even though the plaintiff was en-
tirely ignorant of 1t and did not discover
that 1t had been injured until after the
period of limitations had elapsed.

The greed of Blanco passes all bounds
The eXaction of enormous duties on sup
plies for the starving was only one OF
his enterprises. Recently number of
Havana people conceived the idea of
holding fair for the benefit of the mill
tary hospitals-to provide proper food
and other essential things for the sick.
II was necessary to have the permission
of Blanco's officials. \ committee went
for ii TO the chief of the treasury. That
pirate said they could hold the fair, but
only on condition that twenty-five per
cent of the proceeds should go to the
Spanish government Is it any wonder
the Cubans are impatient for evacuation
day?

A COURT OF INQUIRY.
Abandon of the Maria Teresa
to Be Investigated.

Secretary Long has decided to order a
court of inquiry to investigate the aban-
donment of the cruiser Maria Teresa The
investigation will not begin, however,
until the Vulcan has returned from Cat
Island. as the testimony of the crew of
the Maria Teresa at the time she was left
to her fate will be necessary to fix the
responsibility
The detail of the court will not be an
nounced until the result of the rescue ex-
pedition is known. The Potomac and Vul-
can should reach Cat Island today Their
commanding officers have instructions to
tow the former Spanish cruiser to the
nearest American port if that is possible

1t is not surprising that Senator Han
ma is not infatuated with Speaker Reed
and would take a delight in turning him
down. In ordinary circumstances he
could have no reasonable hope OF this
but the Republican Car has been indis-
erect in making his opposition to every
thing the Administration has favored as
distinct as possible. The intellectual per-
sonality of Hanna and his obvious pride
in political methods that must cause 4
New England Republican to blush. make
of him particularly interesting subject
for Reed sarcasms. Hanna may be i'm
pervious to the assaults of the oyer-scru-
pulous. but he is not insensible to ridi-
cule which he can only half understand
He may be Indifferent TO the gibes of

and the colored chief of police and his
subordinates disappeared from their

men. Even the white men who had PROS
pered financially by their leadership OF
the blacks got out of the way before the
first pistol shot, leaving their tools to
perish or submit to the demands of the

CARNEGIE ON 1.-THE MASSES. ,,
Says Chambers Of Commerce Must
Teach Them How to Vote


Pittsburg, Pa, Nov. n.-Andrew Car
negie was the guest of honor last night
at the annual banquet of the Pittsburg
Chamber of Commerce Mr. Carnegie
quoted Emerson and said that there were
two kinds of valuable knowledge-that
which we possess and the ability to find
that which we do not possess.
1T will not be claimed by the most ex-
treme opponents of democracies, said
Mr.. Carnegie that the masses of the
people can or do form sound Judgments
themselves upon intricate public ques-
tons but what we do hold who believe
that government of the people, by the
people, is best, is that the masses of our
republic are so intelligent as to be able
to weigh what men of special knowledge
lay before them and that education has
made them teachable.
chambers of commerce, therefore,
have before them the duty of proclaming
boldly the true course upon any subject
pertaining to matters especially under
their purview. This differs somewhat as
you no doubt have concluded, from the
view taken by the average politician, who
is naturally tempted to give to the people
not what he knows is really best but
what is al the moment most palatabie.
He thinks Of what they favor now III
their un1Structed state, not what ii be-
hooves them to think becase conducive to
their permanent good. The chambers of
commerce throughout the country, on the
contrary, have to consider not what doe
trines will make votes, but what the
masses for their own good should be in
duced TO vote.
Performing this high function. your
organiZa tions have no mean places in the
service of our country. The President or
governor who fails in a crisis TO give the
people his real opinion as to what is best
is contemplate"
Mr. Carnegie concluded by saying that
in the production of steel Pittsburg leads
the world.

The report of General Miles is COM
pact history of military operations from

the present. 1t is free from all indica-
tions of personal feeling. In order to
avoid a suggestion of the difficulties he
had in executing his plans with dispatch.
he has omitted mention of matters that
few men would have the dignity and self
restraint to ignore. That his position
was most trying, no one will doubt. and
that he carried himself in way to serve
the best interests of the country and
with great self-respect, is generally ad-
mitted. Whatever measure of our sue
cess depended on the plans of campaign
