HOAR OPPOSED TO EXPANSION
CoNFESSES THAT HE Is FILLED
WITH ALARM.
Millions of Aliens In Race and Reig-
ion Should Not Be Added to Our
Population.

Charleston, S. c., Dec. 22.-The sew
enty-ninth annual banquet of the New
England society was given at the
Charleston hotel here tonight. The
leading speakers of the evening were
Senator George F. Hoar of Massachu-
sets, who responded to "Forefathers'
Day; Senator John L. McLaurin of
South Carolina, who responded to Our
Country" and the Hon. Joseph B.
Cumming of Georgia, who responded
to THE Mayflower."
The banquet was an elaborate and
brilliant function, and there were seat
ed at the tables 100 guests. Senator
Hoars address was largely of q his
torical nature, and touched but lightly
upon issues of the present day. Refer
ring to the policy OF expansion, he said:
1T is we'll known, or, if it is not well
known, [ am willing to make it known,
that 1 look with ineXpressible alarm
and dread upon the prospect of adding
to our population millions of persons
dwelling in tropical chimes, aliens in
race and in religion, either to share in
our lf-government, or, what is worse
still, to set an example TO mankind OF
the subsection of one people to an
other. We have not yet solved the
problem how men OF different races can
dwell together in the same land in ac-
cordance with our principle of repub-
lican rule and republican liberty. 1 am
not one of those who despair of the
solution of that problem in justice and
in freedom. 1 do not look upon the
dark side when I think of the future OF
our beloved land. count it the one
chief good fortune of my own life that
as 1 grow older, [ look out on the world
with hope and not despair. We have
made wonderful advances within the
lifetime of the youngest of US. While
we hear, from time to time, of occur
rences much to be deplored and utterly
/ to be condemned, yet, on the whole
we are advancing quite as rapidly as
I could be expected to the time wher
| these races will live together on Amer
lean soil in freedom, in honor and il
| peace.
Messrs. McLaurin and Cumming tool

naunced terms against the theory o.

sPoILATIoN OF PITTSBURG.
Gigantic Combine Has the City at
It's Mercy.

Pittsburg, Pa, Dec. 22.-The gigantic
consolidation of the local gas. light
and heating companies was consum-
mated today. The capital invested eX-

lance of the combine will be appre-
ciated when it is stated that one COM

and Allegheny and will have absolute
power to make, raise or lower the
prices to all consumers.
The deal has been pending for some
time. Those said to be principally in

ter of THE Philadelphia company,

braces nearly every concession within
the scope of human ingenuity and IS,
in fact carte blanche.
When the details of the combination
have been further perfected, it is said
that the Philadelphia company will is

determined as yet.

has returned from Santiago and has
submitted his report to the secretary of
the treasury. While in Puerto Rico, Mr..
Porter held public hearings, and all
persons interested in the welfare of the
island were invited to submit state
ments and give oral testimony. The
chamber of commerce, representing the
commercial and industrial interests or
the province. responded. The machfn-
cry of the military government, MI
Porter says, is running with a fair de-
gree Of smoOthness, and the men re-
sDonsible for it understand their busi-
ness thoroughly.
In Santiago the streets are no longer
used as sewers, and the unhappy indi-
vidual who violates the law and es-
capes the lash of the sanitary commits

the streets for thirty days. This official.

them absolutely clean. Every day, by
the aid of petroleum, the garbage of the
city is burned. The work of sanitation
is not confined to the streets. but ex-
tends to the dwelling houses, ships and
buildings Of all kinds. To accomplish
this, however. the doors Of houses had
to be smashed in and people making

Mr.. Porter advises that their taxes
hereafter must be used for local Dur-
poses, and. as far as may be deemed
practicable. that they be collected and
disbursed by properly constituted local
authorities. The rural districts of San

Colonel Denby-What are the duties
of the inspector general?
General Corbin-It should be, in time
of war. as well as in peace, to inspect
the camps of soldiers and report their
condition.
Colonel Denby-Are the duties of his
subordinates the same?
General Corbin-Yes, sir. Their re-
ports are forwarded to the adjutant
general. who transmits them to the sec
rotary of war for his information.
Colonel Denby-How does it happen,
that the conditions at Chickamauga
We're not reported by the inspector gen
eral?
General Corbin-I have not seen any
report of inspectors at Chickamauga.
They were sent to the commanding
general there. 1t was his duty to rem

Colonel Denby-We are in a very diff
ficult position, General Ccrbin.
General Corbin-I've occupied one
myself for some time. 1t is not new

Colonel Denby-There has been talk
that the efficiency of the inspector gen.

you think of that?
General Corbin-I think that is large

He said he knew of no contracts dur

there was no instance of favoritism in

HARBoR TOO SHALLOW.
Battleships Cannot Leave New York
at Low Tide.

Washington, Dec. 22.-The naval au-
thorities have learned to their dismay
that it is not possible for one of our
big battleships, like the Oregon or
Massachusetts, to get out of New York
harbor during extra low water, such
as prevailed when the latter battleship
struck on Diamond Reef a short time
ago To aid the court of inquiry now
in session at New York, trying to as
certain the responsibility for the
grounding the navy department called
upon the coast survey for special meas
urements of the water in the harbor
near Diamond Reef, and upon the
rock itself. The report of the superin-
tendent of the survey has just been re-
ceived, and it shows, in the opinion of
the naval officers, that it is not posi-
BILE for a ship of the size of the Massa-
chusetts, and with her maneuvering
qualities, to get out of the harbor with
out touching the bottom when the tide
is ebb and the wind strong. The best
water to be found in the best course she
could pick on the day she touched was
one foot and four inches less than the
draught of the ship as she started,
namely, 26 feet 2 inches.

Nevertheless, at the hour of filing this
dispatch (4:50) it is still flying on a
tall staff over the famous fort, plainly
visible from the harbor and city.
Major General Lee, having received
cable dispatch from General Alger,
saying that the secretary of war I'M

Colonel Wood to distribute ratiOns and
to make systematic efforts to feed the

JUST LIKE LUETGERT
Chicago Has Another Wife Butcher
to Deal With.
WIFE WAS sTRANGLED
RoLLINGER HELD FOR TRIAL,
WITHOUT BAIL.
Miss Hecker Says He Proposed to
Her, and Said Everything Would
Be All Right Within Two
Months-Defendant Feigns In
sanity-Similar to Luetgert Case.

Chicago, Dec. 22.-The coroner's in
quest was began today in the case of
Mrs. Michael Rollinger, who the police
assert, was murdered and partially
cremated by her husband. The &C
cused man somewhat startled the
police and spectators when confronted
by Lena Hecker, the woman for whose
sake the crime is alleged to have been
committed, by stolidly staring at her
and then declaring that he did not
know her and had never even met her
before. This action, coupled with his
apparent utter Indifference to his sur
roundings, lead the police to believe
that Rollinger is feigning insanity.
The Journal today points out twenty
points of remarkable similarity be-
tween the Rollinger case and that OF
Adolph Luetgert, now serving "a lie
sentence for wife murder.
Love of woman other than the Vile
is asserted to have been the leading
cause of both alleged murders. Each
of the murderers, it is claimed, was by
strangulation. Both men, one of whom
was a sausage maker and German,
the other a butcher and an Austrian,
quarreled continually with their wives,
and both suffered business reverses
prior to the alleged crimes. Luetgert
and Rollinger were well acquainted
with each other and lived in the same
quarter of the city. In the Rollinger
case, as in that of Luetgert, wedding
ring will play an important part in the
establishment of the corpus deficit.
Mrs. Rollinger's body has been eX-
humed and her wedding ring cut from
her finger.
AS a result of the inquest Rollinger
was held without bail on a, charge OF
murder and Lena Hecler was ordered
detained as a witness. In her testi-
mony before the coroners jury Miss
Heeker stated that Rollinger had
asked her to marry him, saying that in
two months time everything would
be 81! right"
frequently beat his wife.

misrule and, wrong had to be avenged.
But | could not but admire the courage
revealed by the sights 1 saw on board
those decks. There were men by the
score dead at their posts, their charred
hands grasping whatever 1t had been their
duty to WELD. One instance in particu-
lar affected me. DOWN in the hold there
was the body of nan whose duty it had
been to attend q. certain valve. There, I
found him alone syrasping the lever of
that valve His BODY and hands blistered
with heat dead at his post"
Mr.. Hobson continued at some length,
and in closing said the United States,
with her magnificent resources and high
type of citizenship. must take her place
in the nations and perform the mighty
work required of her by civilization.
There was no kissing whatever. and
familiarity was rather discouraged. A
number of souvenir-hunters were present
with photos and requests for autographs,
and all were accommodated.

BOY KILLS AN OFFICER.
Lad Had Been Instructed to Defend
the Homestead.

Chicago, Dec. 22.AThomas Crosby,
the 13-year-old son of Mrs. Margaret
Crosby, a wealthy widow living in
Edgewater, a suburb of Chicago, shot
Frank Nye today while Nye was at
tempting to serve a writ of restitution
The writ was based on a mortgage for
$4,000 which had been foreclosed on
the Crosby homestead.
The officer was warned by the boy
not to attempt to enter the house, but
disregarded the threat and attempted
to tear out window. The boys moth

COLONEL BRYAN'S DENIAL.
Did Not Go to New York to Consult
Carnegie.

st. Louis, Mo-, Dec. 22.-Colonel Will
liam ]. Bryan passed through the city
tonight, on his way home. He was
met by friends, with whom he dined.
rs it true that you went to New
York for the purpose of consulting
with Carnegie?" Colonel Bryan was
asked.
Nc, it is not true. Personal business
took me to New York. 1 held no con-
ference with Mr.. Carnegie" Colonel
Bryan replied. Il have read his opin-
ion III reference to annexation and the
military question and am very glad
indeed, to know that he has taken the
position which he has"
In reference to the annexation and
expansion question, Colonel Bryan said
that he stood where he always had
stood, opposed to a headlong policy of
Imperialism by the annexation of any
conquered territory without The con-
sent of the governed.
Little indication of Colonel Bryan's
recent rank in the army appears in his
apparel, although a white campaign
hat would suggest to the passer-by
that the wearer probably had seen
service. He has apparently completely
recovered his health.
