LODGING TlHE FACTS

There is just one little point thai they attempt to place upon the Ding ley act the responsibility for the un- fortunate situation in New England
 The democrats misrepreseni the ac- tual situation and insist that thp Dingley act has crippled the New England cotton manufactu CTS 50 badly that a reduction of wages fol lowed by strike was the result. Tn: V have not one word to say of the ir- creased prosperity of the cotton man. ufacurers in the south as a result of the Diugiey act. Nobody hears Of any trouble among the sotsthern malIufac-, turers of cotton at this time. Many mills are humming and northern capi- tai Is planning to build more mills close to the cotton fields. If the Ding ley act has injured the New England manufacturers, how is it that the southern manufacturers have. not felt the alleged blight?
 The democratic press is never con- sisient and seldom truthful. The co., ton problem is, one that has been com ing to the fore for a decade. Under the recent stimulus to trade the crisis has been reached The southern mills are busy and the northern mills are idle as result of reduced wages. The changed conditions, are the basis of ihe trouble in the north-not the tariff

l, One very striking thing about the board of equalization meeting has de- veloped. Among those present were representatives of every board of su- pervisors in the territory, which is re- ported to have lately adopted resc- lutions endorsing 'thome rule," yet no home rule funF business was at tempted, as al tHs miners convention. Was this because Buckley ONeill was absent or was it because these super visors have been grossly misquoted by the populistic press? Instead of reso- luting to endorse all the isms from Buckley up, this body did some very
 wise things, and several members of it actually made prosperity speeches. Strange conduct, surely, for men who are said to be in favor of everything in the witch burning category

Now is the time to come forward with contributions of money, food and clothes for the suffering thou sands in Cuba When the 4Armen.ans were being killed and when they were suffering liberal contributions were made for their relief. The. Cubans are just as deserving, and they are near this country-so gear that ves- sel laden with relief supplies can reach there in two or three days. Surely this country should do as much for the Cubans as it did for the Ar meMianE.

Those now in more or less active training for the democratic nomination for delegate to congress are Mark Smith, E. E. Elhnwood, H. D. Ross and Buckley O'NeiH. If there is any thing in that remark about the early bird, Buckley stands the best show. There are, however, on record in- stances where political early birds failed to connect The name of one is Hill.

FOR SAYING 4 TRANSPORT.
Tug Owner Brings Suit Against Govern
 ment for S1O,OOO,

New York, Dec. 23.-William E. Mey- er owner of the steam tug Gladisfen, has brought suit in the United States circuit court against the government for $10,000 for services rendered in sav- ing the steamer Gypsum King, a gov ernment transport, on the night of Au- gust 12, 1898. In the petition filed with the court it is stated that the Gladisfen was lying in the harbor of Ponce, Porto Rico, when signals of distress were seen from a vessel off Cadrones islands. The weather was stormy and rainy, a gale was blowing toward the shore, the night was dark and the harbor of Ponce crowded with warships and other ves- sells, while there was great confusion because of the numerous flash, electric and other lights displayed by these yes sells. Under these conditions the Gladis- fen went to the assistance of the trans port. The latter was drifting helpless 1v about, with large manila hawser tightly jamed in her propeller screw, prevently it from revolving. The Glad isfen succeeded in shooting line over tbe disabled vessel, which was bent on 9 hawser and pulled on board the Clad isfen and thus the Gypsum King was safely lowed into the harbor

VAR REVENUE TAX ON MEDICINES
Important Opinion Rendered by the
 Assistant Attorney General

HSststaht ANtoEhSy StheRaA' Washington, Dec. 23.-An important opinion rendered by Assistant Attorney General Boyd and approved by the at torney general, was sent to the secre- tary of the treasury to-day, construing section 20 of the war revenue act rela- tive to taxes under schedule B on medicinal articles and preparations. The opinion holds that the subjects of taxation under the said section and schedule are confined to compounded patent, trade mark and proprietary medicines such as are put up in pack ages ready for use by the consumer without the intervention of a physician and pharmacist. On the other hand, it is held that the law does not tax med icinal preparations which are com pounded or which, if compounded are put up under medical or pharmaceuti- cal names for classification for the use of physicians in practice or druggists or pharmacists in their trade. This de- cision is of general importance to the medicine and drug business throughout the country and has the effect of re- lieving fro mstam tax many standard medicines such as the Serums and many others. This opinion is now being em- bodied in new regulations which will be promulgated very soon The amounts of the taxes paid on these excepted articles will be refunded by the gov- ernment

MURDER OF sULrAs,s AIDE.
Chant Bey Who Won Favor Through
 His Numerous Crimes.

Constantinople, Dec. 23.-Ghani Bey, the sultans aide -de-camp, was murder ed yesterday by Hafiz Pasha in a quar- rel which took place in a pastry-cook shop Ghani Bey became notorious ow- ing to his lawless proceedings in Epirus. He inspired terror here by extorting money under threats of death. The officials of the foreign embassies have frequently demanded his punishment, but always unsuccessfully.
 Hafiz Pasha escaped and is still at large. The official press bureau pro- hibits any mention of the affair in the newspapers. It appears, however, that Hafz Pasha, after slight altercation, placed the muzzle of his revolver close to the head of Ghani Bey and fired. Ghani died a few hours later. Ghani won the sultans favor and promotion by committing numerous crimes. He was sent to restore order in Epirus af- ter the Turkish war. At the head of the 300 lawless companions he robbed, pillaged and murdered by home, only to be promoted to colonel cy. Then he continued his crimes here. He would enter shop, draw revolver and compel it's owner to open his safe and give up the contents.

TO ACQUIRE WAKE ISLAND
GOVERNMENT ISSUES ORDERS TO
 RAISE THE FLAG.
The Island is About 5000 Miles West of the Hawaiian Possessions Three Miles in Length and Scarcely Capable Itsetf of Sustaining Life-Wtll be Val- uable as n Cable Station.

Washington, Dec. 23-The govern ment has determined to hoist the flag over another island far out in the Pa cific ocean and orders were sent out to- day to the commander of the Benning- ton, Captain Taussig, to proceed at once to take possession, in the name Of the government of the United States, of Wake Island, lying in latitude 19 north, longitude 16S east. It is distant about 2000 miles from Nihau, the western- most of the Hawaiian Islands, and l. 300 miles east from Guam. It is almost in a direct line between these posses sions of the United States and is admir- ably adapted for use as station for a Pacific cable to connect the Philip pines with Hawaii and the United States. It is about three miles in length and encloses a lagoon of salt water.
 The average height of the island is eight feet above high tide. It is scarce ly capable in itself of sustaining life, but it is said that a cable station can DS WllllOuL QllllCully ny lllC erection of a condenser to supply fresh water. A station in this locality is deem- ed absolutely necessary for the main- tenance of cable and for that reason the American peace commissioners at Paris endeavored to secure one of the Caroline Islands, but without success. Wake Island is said to be by right all ready American territory, for in 1855 Admiral Wilkes surveyed the place and asserted title. It is not inhabited, so far as known, at the present time, though in the past some guano gather CTS have temporarily lived on the isl and.
 The Bennington is now at Honolulu and the orders to her go out by steamer. After hoisting the flag on Wake Island she will proceed to Guam and make the survey of the island which was ordered some time ago. She has already com pleted a survey of Pearl harbor, seven miles from Honolulu, which will form the foundation of the government plans for the enlargement of the harbor there and for improving the channel connecting the inner harbor with the ocean

HOWARD NATIONAL BANK.
Investigation of the Institution-syndi-
 cate at Sea

Boston, Dec. 23.-The Investigation of the affairs of the Howard National bank was continued to-day, but the end of it is not in sight. Examiner Mcdonald is not only taking list of the securities and the names which they bear but is going into the history of these securities in order to ascertain the exact value, rather than the esti- mated worth. He is going back to Washington tomorrow to spend Christi mas with his family, but will return to Boston the first of the week and com- plete his task. The syndicate into whose hands the bank has passed, is said to be absolutely at sea, being un-' able to obtain even an approximate es- innate of what the bank will pay ln liouidation. It was learned this morn-. ing that instead of having about two- thirds of stock of that bank, they really took up nearly nine- -enths of it. Wheth- CT the stockholders suspected anything of the banks condition is not known. Apparently there was little reluctance to sell stock to the syndicate for 9iA.

RETURN OF ADMIRAL SAMPsoN.
Wealthy Cubnns Anxious for Anncxa-
 fion-Future of the Island.

New York, Dec 23.-The flagship New York of the North Atlantic squadron, having on board Rear Admiral William T. Sampson and Mrs. Sampson, arrived this morning from Havana. As the New York steamed through the Mar rows it was seen that the flagship had been newly painted white. This is the first warship to arrive at this port in her new white dress since the close of the Spanish war, and she presented an imposing sight. The flagship was sa- luted by passing craft and steamers at anchor, and when she dropped anchor off Tompkinsville the auxiliary cruiser Scorpion fired the admirars salute. When some newspaper men boarded the New York with the health doctors Ad- miral Sampson said that he had come home to attend his daughters wedding on January at Glen Ridge N. J. The admiral and his family were taken from the New York on government tug. He will spend Christmas at home with his family.
 Do you think the people of Cuba will prove amenable to the American gov ernment?" was asked, and Admiral Sampson replied: Tt doesn't make any difference whether they are or not. We are down there and our government will go on as long as it is necessary" The admiral said that De Castro, the civil governor of Havana, was doing as we'll as could be expected, and by the first of January all of Cuba would be officially evacuated except Matanzas and one or two other points. Regard ing the suffering throughout Cuba, which Mrs Sampson has been working hard to alleviate, Admiral Sampson said: "The government is issuing ra- tions rigidly, but the concentrators are now disseminated, and there is the diff ficulty. Many of them have died and many more will die. They lack tools to work their farms and the only crop they could raise now are sweet potatoes. It is too late to raise sugar." Reverting to the question of the future of Cuba, Admiral Sampson said: "The wealthiest and most influential people in Cuba want the island annexed to the United States. whether as state or territory they don't much care. But there are many Cubans who think that they are

 While Under Arrest.

Dennis Grady, twenty eight years old, who has a hard record in the books of the police department, attempted to commit suicide by taking rat poison as he was being taken to the Grand ave- nue station last night by Sergeant Hayes and Patrolman Roach. The offi- cers foiled the attempt and took the poison from him. The would-be sui- eide said he would fool them yet and was very violent. At the station he was searched and another package of rat poison was found upon him. A watch was kept upon him all night to prevent any further attempt which he might make upon his life. He was ara rested on a complaint that he had att tempted suicide and he was drunk at the time. He is a bad character gen- orally and has no known place of resi- dence,

 1les That They Were Burned.

Cleveland, O., Dec. 23.-Evidence was secured from additional witnesses to- day to show that the books and the pa- pers belonging to the Standard oil com- pany had been destroyed on November 19 and 21. The first witness examined to-day was George Fields, who, it is claimed, sent employees of the company to the general offices after the books that were alleged to have been destroy ed. Fields testified that he was an em- ploye of the Standard Oil company. He said that he was instructed to send two men to the general offices. He thought that it was November 19. He sent Will Ham Moran and McNerney in the morning, and in the afternoon Gabeline and Scaaf went to help them.
 William Moran testified that he was sent by Fields to the general offices on November 19, after the boxes of books and papers. Moran said the boxes were loaded upon a wagon and taken to a store room on Independence street. Moran said that the following Monday morning he and another employe took some boxes from the store houses to the river pump house. He did not know whether they were the same boxes that they had got Saturday. They took the boxes to the furnaces, opened them and burned the contents. Moran admitted that he had talked with At torney s. H. Tolles of the Standard Oil company yesterday in regard to the description of the boxes. In the cross examina tion Moran said he knew that a lot of books and papers were burned year ago. but did not help burn them
 Another effort was made to-day to subpoena Secretary Squire of the Standard Oil company, and Frank Rockefeller, but neither could be found. An officer was equally unsuccessful in locating Charles Kicker of the Standard Oil office.

Trusts and Imperialism.
 Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 23.-Colonel Will liam J. Bryan returned here to-day, and tonight was rendered a reception by the Woman's Bimetallic league. A large crowd was present, and Colonel Bryan received an ovation. He was welcomed and introduced by Governor Holcomb. Colonel Bryan made an address in which he said that his zeal for the re- forms advocated a few months ago had not in the least abated. The American people had not accepted the gold stand ard and opposition to it would grow until the gold and silver coinage of the constitution had been restored. The trusts were more merciless than Wey- Ter, and the new trust which was seek ing to obtain control of all the paper money of the nation was greater men, ace to the country's welfare than any foreign foe. Colonel Bryan spoke against the permanent increase of the army and against imperialism, discuss ing the latter subject in reply to Presi- dent McKinley's inquiry, ''Who will haul down the f1ag?"

RYAN DEFEATS o,BRIEN.
The Latter Saved From a Knockout by
 the Police.


 Hartford, Dec. 23.-Tommy Ryan of Syracuse proved too much for Dick O'Brien of Boston at the Coliseum to- night. The police interfered in the fourteenth round and saved O'Brien from an actual knock out, but so far as practical purposes were concerned he was out. Ryan had f1oored him few seconds before with a right hand swing on the jaw and Dick got on his feet again just as Referee Roche count ed seven. It was all up with him though. The fight had all been knock ed out of him. He was helpless and Ryan again foored him with a vicious right hand swing. Dick came to time once more, only to fall a victim to a hard upper cut. Then Chief of Police Bill jumped into the ring and stopped the bout, Roche awarding the fight to Ryan. The action of the police was generally approved as preventing un- necessary brutality. It was Ryan's fight all the way through. He wore O'Brien down by incessant jabbing and had him bleeding at the nose and eye early in the game. Several times Ryan had his man going, but although he made dozens of passes he could not land that right swing till the fourteenth round Ryan was too quick on his feet and too scientific for his opponent, who could simply stand still and be punch ed. The Syracuse mans superiority was clearly proved and O'Brien is not in the same class. The fight was sched- uled for twenty rounds for the middle weight championship of the world In the preliminary bout Sammy Myers knocked out Young Cunning in the sixth round. Two thousand people saw the fights.
