that he never missyd meal while on
the road and never saw person whom
he knew.
He was not arrested at Logan, as at
first reported, but at point sixteen
miles distant, in Mingo county. He
had slipped into Logan to buy tobacco
and was spotted by Marshal Hupp and
Constable Clary, who watched him.
McSweeney was keen enough to notice
that he was observed and asked a
woman who the two men were. She
informed him that they were officers
and he Immediately left, striking oyer
the mountains in the direction of Hat
field postofiice. Hupp and Clary
learned that McSweeney had observed
them and had taken alarm. This con-
firmed their opinion that he vas the
man they wanted, and arming them
selves, they gave chase. Sixteen miles
away they caught him and compelled
him to surrender at the muzzles of two
double-barreled shotguns. 'McSweeney
showed his lack OF nerve when covered
by the guns and readily confessed his
identity. but he later denied it when
locked up in the jail at Logan. With
an admirable sham of frankness he as
serted his innocence, and but for the
timely arrival of Marshal Dye, would
probably have been released.

ing to see if he would identify the
prisoner. Walking up to the window
of McSweeney's cell he sang out,
"hello, Morgan" McSweeney imme-
diately answered, Hello. Jake" and
all doubts were at rest.
Marshal Dye settled with the officers
who made the arrest, and started for
Dingess, the nearest railroad station,
AS already stated McSweeney accom-
panied him without trouble and was
not handcuffed. There was no demon
stration of any kind or threats to re-
lease McSweeney at any point.
1t has been said that however cum
ming fugitive may be, he will always
overlook something that will lead to
his arrest and Identification. Although
fleeing for his life, McSweeney kept in
his pocket a memorandum book and
other papers with his name upon them
and any person had but to glance at
them to satisfy himself of the mans
identity. The knife with which he
did the cutting was not found upon
him and he PROBABLY threw it away
soon after putting it to its deadly use.

Placed In Jail.

Charles Irwin, OF Belpre, was lodged
in the county jail Saturday evening to
await trial on the charge of stealing
meat belonging TO Isaac Parsons, also
of Belpre. Irwin had a preliminary
hearing before Squire Rathbone, and
was bound over to court. He was un-
able to give the required bond of $500
and will remain in jail until his case is

April term Of Common Pleas Court.

HIS FLIGHT AND CAPTURE.
Mcsweeney says He Walked the Entire
Distance to Logan.

From Marshal Dye we are at last en-
abled TO get the true story of Nc
Sweeney's fight and capture, which. If
McSweeney's report of his route is true,
shows him to be a wonderfully handy
man and good dodger. According to
the story as related to the Marshal, he
left the vicinity Immediately after the
cutting, running toward the ohio'fiver
and striking the main road near the
old culvert. This road he followed
that night to q point fourteen miles
below Belpre. where he hired man to
ferry him across the river. He then
struck across country straight for the
section where he WAS arrested, avoid
ing the railroads, main highways and
all towns. 1t was undoubtedly his in
tention to get into the settlement
made famous by the Hatfield Mccoy
feuds. and he was almost there when
taken into custody. He says that he
had do difficulty in getting assistance,

ious TO strengthen such a system at

ruler Of the Moros, but there are two
subordinate sultans on Mindanao.
On the island of Mindoro Professor
Worcester found tribe of savages
called Mangyans, whom he had heard
of as head hunters and cannibals, but
who proved to be harmless as children.
Their only utensils were few earthen
pots; their only weapons rude iron,
machetes Though they went nearly
naked, ate crows, rats, civet cats,
monkeys, snakes and lizards, had no
belief in a future life or punishment,
their morals were apparently very
good. Such a thing as a faithless wife
was almost unknown, and they never
stole penny's worth from their white
visitors.

chief commercial island of the Philip

spects, than Mindanao Luzon has ex-
tensive lake and river systems, fertile

Giles, a majestic volcano, no tropical is
land being complete without one, and
two-thirds of the Philippine population.
OF the various Luzon tribes the Taga-
logs and IIocanos are the most import
ant, and are civilized and orderly. A
few Negritos, who are considered the
original Philippine race, are still left.
They are a wretched, sickly race, of
almost dwarfish stature. Their skins
are black, their hair curly, their fea-
lures coarse and repulsive. They seem
incapable of civilization. Some of the
remaining wild tr bes are of pure Mala y
extraction; others are half breed races,
between Malays and .Negritos, and one
of the Igorrote people, a fierce hill tribe,
| is believed to be descended from the
] followers of the Chinese invader, Lima

It is a big undertaking to adopt SO
many wards and try to civilize them.
But whatever Uncle Sam makes up his
mind to do, that will he do. A serious
! question to be considered in connection
with the occupation and reclamation of
| the Spanish archipelago is the ability
of American colonists to thrive under
the climatic influences there. The fig
ures in the reports show nothing to
| occasion the least apprehension: they
indicate that the temperature through
out the year never rises higher than
100 degrees Fahrenheit and never falls
below 60 degrees, but most of the time
the air is heavily charged with mois-
ture; and this means malaria which is
very prevalent.
The climate is especially severe in its
effect on white women and children.
''It is very doubtful, in my judgment, .
says Professor Worcester, ''if many
generations of European or American
children could be reared there"
The Philippine question is full of in
terest and the people. of this republic
have peculiar interest in it's study at
this time.

HANNA's UNIQUE DENIAL.

Republican organs were astounded
when Senator Mark Hanna told an
Associated Press reporter the other
day that the Dingley bill, as a revenue
raiser, was a failure. At the stated
fact, no one who understands the
working of the present tariff schedule
was taken by surprise; but the brazen
franl1ness of such an admission from
the chairman of the national Repub-
lican committee called forth protest
from almost every administration
organ in the country.
Senator Hanna was then surprised.
He thought the Republican party had
passed the point where it was neces-
sary to conceal things from the public.
In the arrogance of congressional
power, secure as he evidently felt, in
the mastery of an enslaved people,
what did it matter if they heard? But
the organs are not so sure; they are
not convinced that the trusts and gold
bugs are entirely out of the woods yet.
Mark was cautioned. He hastened to
undo the mischief he had wrought. And
now the administration papers are
denying emphatically and repeatedly
that Mark said what he said. But
Mark has not denied it. He does not
claim to have been misQuoted. He
simply says that perhaps I did not
make my meaning clear to my friend,
the reporter" Yet he reaffirms that
there is a lack of revenue under the
Dingley tariff, which, he confesses
must be supplied from other sources. -
In order to raise the required
revenue, which cannot be raised by
prohibitory duties. it is deemed neces-
sary to keep the people paying war
taxes for another year or two.
But to please the less courageous
leaders of the army of greed and gold
that has taken entire possession of the
national capital, the senator is willing
to acknowledge that "the Dingley bill
is the most scientific and best-adjusted
tariff bill ever enacted And all the
monopolists and trusts say Amen"

THE NATIONS WARDS.

Interest in the Philippines is being
revived by the controversy before the
Paris peace commission regarding their
ownership.
One of the latest contributions to a
popular knowledge of these interesting
islands is a work by Dean C. Worces-
ter, assistant professor of zoology in
the university of Michigan He has
visited the islands twice in years gone
by in the interest of science. He was
given rare opportunities to explore
many of the isles and to study the hab-
its and characteristics Of the people.
His descriptions are full of interest.

Manila, the citadel, forts, harbor sur
roundings and all are portrayed by the

different tribes scattered over the hum

to exploration is the savage nature of
some of the tribes. But the fierce ma

of Manila, and SO the wives, mothers
and sweethearts of the soldiers have
no occasion to feel nervous at this
statement.

Mindanao and other islands. build
their houses, when circumstances al

of medium height, and their physical
development is often superb. They

They make their own steel weapons,
which are beautifully finished, and
quite capable of having man under
favorable conditions. The Moro men are
