TREASON AND THAT'S A LIE.
Anti-Expansion Speakers Met With These
Cries While Grating at
Chicago.

CHICAGO, May 1.-Central Music hall
was filled with an audience gathered to
protest against the course of the admin
istration with reference to the Philip
pine islands.
Prof. j. Lawrence Laughlin of the
University of Chicago, in speaking of
the national policy toward the Filipi-
nos, said:
"There the flag is the emblem Of tyr
amy and butchery."
Cries of "treason" came from the
gallery, but the cries We're quickly
drowned out by approving cheers.
When Bishop j. L. Spalding of Peo-
ria declared that England has never
been friend of this country" an Eng
lishman near the platform cried "that' S
lie." Without noticing the interup-
ton the bishop continued his address.
DIR. Henry Wade Rogers, president of
Northwestern university, acted as chair
man of the meeting. Besides him the
speakers were Prof. Laughlin, Bishop
Spalding, DIR. Jenldn Lloyd Jones, Ed,
win Burritt Smith, Sigmund Zeisler
and Miss Jane Adams.

be destroyed by giant powder. The mob
seized the train at Burke, near Canyon
Creek. They brought 5000 pounds Of
giant powder.

started for the Bunker Hill and Sullivan
mills. A signal shot for the men at
work to escape was mistaken by the
party and fusilade followed. John
Smith, one Of the company's pickets,
was killed. The strikers took possession
Of the mining properties and destroyed
the buildings with the powder. Then
the men boarded their train and re-
turned to Canyon Creek
During the fusillade from the guns of

hold them well in hand, give them
good rifles and keep them supplied with
plenty of ammunition, maintain strict
fire discipline, show them the enemy's
position and the men will do the rest.
"The nameless man behind the gun
and the all too obscure officer have far
more to do with the winning of victo'
ries than many poorly informed civil
| ians seem TO understand"

GOMEZ Is TOO SLOW.
Brooke Requested Him to Hurry Up "A
Decision as to the Payment
of Cuban Troops.

HAVANA, May 1.-Governor General
Brooke purposed to bring the matter Of
the payment of the Cuban troops to
head soon. He sent u request to Cen
eral Maxino Gomez that the latter and
the junta of consulting Cuban generals
should come at once to decision as to
whether the Cuban muster rolls are to
stand as now made up or are to be re-
duced, as General Gomez had been ex-
pecting.
Tomorrow three months will have
elapsed since Robert p. Porter, Presi-
dent McKinley's special commissioner,
came TO formal agreement with Cen
eral Gomez that it was of the first inn
portance that the Cuban army should
be paid and disbanded. The planters
are suspending improvements until de-
velopments are known aud projects for
investment are held in allegiance.
Washington wishes the army prob
lem settled as quickly as possible so as
to be able to withdraw at least two more
regiments. American observers do not
expect that there will be much out
lawry. Some they think is inevitable,
but it will be put down so promptly as
to discourage adventurers.

Hanna, chairman of the national Re-
publican executive committee, was
asked for statement of what the issues
of the party would be for 1900 He did
not hesitate to predict that President
Mckinley would be renominated and
elected. AS TO imperialism and trusts,
he thought the former would not be an
issue in the campaign. Our duty in the
Philippines was to conquer the islands,
restore peace and refer the subject to
congress for solution. The national
committee, when it meets in the fall,
might give the matter of trusts atten.

Peculiar Eject on Cuban Marriages.

SANTIAGO DE CUBA, May 2.--It was
pointed out that a curious result of
Major General Woods announcement
that the marriage ceremonies of all re-

porary legalization of polygamy. In any
event, there were some 5000 irregular"
marriages in this province during the
war, and, as there are no marriage laws
except those of the Roman Catholic
church, the new order insures the le-
gitimation Of the offspring of such
unions.
