We1l-kROwn Snowman Victim of
Cancer of the Liver.
New York. April 2s.-Sam T. Jack. for
many years manager of burlesque theat-
rical companies. died early last evening
from cancer Of the liver after an illness of
six months at his home, 1856 West Thrift
eth Street. Until recently Mr.. Jack be-
lieved he was suffering from rheumatism.
He was treated in West Baden. Ind, and
Hot Springs, Va, and returned to this city
apparently cured. His illness developed
seriously on Sunday last.
Mr.. Jack was born in Western foothills
of the Allegheny Mountains. near Pitts
burg. Pa, forty-seven years ago. When
he was a child his parents moved to Oil
City. Pa. He was educated for civil en-
gineer and oil speculator. but, believing
he was born for Snowman. he soon took to
the white tents and red wagons of a cir
GUS Later be became attached to the Col
den Menager'e. After meeting With a dis
astrous accident to the Crcps equipment
he became, in 1872. the manager of the oil
region circuit of theatres. He was next
found with large flotii!a or floating opera
house, with his marine minstrels, Laying
all towns between st. Louis and New Or
leans. Cairo. and Pittsburg. on the Missis-
sippi, and Ohio rivers and tributaries.
While touring down these rivers Mr..
Jack conceived the idea of creole bur-
lesque company. He subsequently made n
speciality of burlesque attractions. In one
of his companies he met his first wife,
who was known as Alice Townsend She
died in 1850, ten years after their marriage
He married aEain about two years ago.
His widow survives him. Mr. Jack conduct
ed theatre IN Broadway and an opera
house in Chicago.

The Samoan War,

II the news from Samoa, via Auckland,
April -. is reliable, it must be said that
the situation in the islands is neither sat
isfactory nor encouraging to the idea of
a peaceful settlement of the difficulty. 1t
is not pleasant TO be tod that the Mataafan
rebels are fighting under the German flag.
although it is probable that they could
not show the least right to that ensign. 1t
is much more ominous. if the statement be
correct. that a former German officer
named Buelow has armed a lot of natives
and is using them to oppose the forces of
the powers.
For some reason or other we have been
all along afraid that the residents of Ger
man extraction we're determined to involve
their government in trouble. Such an out
come would be simply deplorable. because
the present sentiment at Berlin and Wash
ington is greatly in favor of peace and a
good understanding. If it should ever be
otherwise it is TO be hoped that the fault
viii not lie on the side O.. America
1t should be said, however, that the Kai-
ser would do well TO send some very per-
emptory messages to his people in Samoa.
He is all right, but We have some reason to
doubt that they are. The conditions do
not appear TO be hopeful. but they may
change for the better when the High Joint
Commission reaches the spot. Even from
this point of view it is not exhilarating to
learn that our Government wanted to over
take the transport Badger with the Com
mission on board, even if it had to send
lug as far as Honolulu to accomplish that
purpOse.

The possibilitre. Of Liquid Air.

There is an interesting article in the
Engineering Magazine" on the subject Of
the manufacture and possibilities of liquid
air This is, of course, most expensive
process at the present time. but there
might be circumstances under which the
usefulness would outweigh the cost. In
time of war it might easily happen that
the use of liquid air would turn the scale
in campaign. In military operations the
possession of highly concentrated energy
stores is most important. and liquid air
can rapidly be converted into compressed
air at six tons per square inch, which
would make it useful in the projection OF
high explosives.
The particular value, however. of liquid
cir would lie in its convenience 1t can be
stored without pressure or at low pressure.
and eyaporated at any desired pressure.
while its bulk represents that of air under
500 atmospheres. Compressed air. on the
contrary, can only be stored in strong AMI
heavy containing vessels, and under i'm
mense pressure.
The submarine boat and the flying ma
chine may find use for liquid air. There
is no doubt in the minds of those best in
formed that the flying machine will be
evolved in course Of time. The only Diff
Guilty is to obtain material which is beth
light and strong enough for the work re-
quired, and to supply motive power at the
least possible weight and expense. Com
pressed or liqueiied air or electricity are
practically the only motive powers which

BEEF coURvs-pooa CLOSED.
Friends of General Miles Ready to
Make q Protest.

Make a Protest.
The Beef Court was' inconunicado to-
day. The door of the session chamber was
at the outer portal declined to convey
cards into the hall Of secrets.
The Court spent the entire day in ex-
ecutive session and no information was
given as to when its report will be trans
mitted to the Secretary OF War. 1t is un-
derstoOd. however. thai the report Is prac-
ticaily complete and that it will be sub
mitted late this afternoon or tomorrow.
1t was said by the supporters OF Gen.
eral Miles today that should the findings
OF the Court be averse to the Major Gen
eral Commanding, vigorous protest viii
be made to the President. One OF the
grounds for this protest will be that the
instructions given to the Court on Mon
day, February 20, were not made public
until the night OF April 81. when the TAX
ing Of testimony had been concluded.
This. 1t will be maintained, placed the
friends of General Miles at serious dis
advantage. by reason of the fact that they
were not apprised Of just what points the
President desired should be made clear.
1t Will be held, it is said. that 1t was The
evident intention of the President that his
instructions TO the Court should have been
made a part of the record directly after
the tribunal convened. That the instruc-
tions were kept secret until the close Of
the enquiry will. 1t is claimed. be held to
have been unfair TO counsel representing
General Miles.
General Miles friends argue that 4 man
whose allegations are being enquired into
has right to know in advance just what 1t
is sought to establish by the enquiry. A
man under trial by a court -martiai is en-
titled to u copy of the charges and speci-
fioations against him. and a man whose
conduct is under investigation has right
TO know all the purposes OF that enquiry.
AS II was. tney say. the members of :he
Court and the Recorder knew exactly what
the President wanted to know, but Inc
representative Of General Miles did not.
1t has been said in official circles that
The Court will suggest that several ofhcers
of the Commissary Department be tried by
court martial for neglect OF duty. An ar
my regulation requires that a record must
be kept of all Government property de-
stroyed The testimony has shown that
tons of beef canned and refrigerated. were
thrown away without having been con-
demned by board OF survey. and no rec
ord of the loss kept that 1t might be borne
by the contractor.
Charles =. Eagan, left Washington last
night for San Antonio. Texas. 1t is said
that he will leave that city within day
CT two for San Francisco. whence he will
sail for Honolulu. II was thought that
.Eagan would remain in Washington until
the Beef Court had submitted its report
SO that he might be here to answer any
charges should further proceedings against
him be recommended by the Court. 1t has
been suggested that he was made ac-
quainted with the findings of the Court
and was assured that he would not be
wanted.

FRIDAY, APRIL IS, 1899.
Pcncc mt Manila.

II would seem to be all over in the Phil
ippipes. Aguinaldo's native followers have
been as thoroughly whipped in action as
his American sympathizers we're worsted
in debate. and now the Filipino chieftain
desires to urrender-presumably Tor
consideration.
The Administration will take Its own
course in the matter, but We may saieiy
conclude that President Mckinley, having
originally started out to crush the rebellion.
will be satisfied with nothing short Of that.
and that the only terms General Otis will
be authorized to offer the insurgents are
complete and unconditional surrender TO
American authority.
The Philippine Islands are ours precise
ly as California is ours-ceded to us by
the nation which owned and controlled
them for centuries, as one OF the results
of a war into which the United States was
forced by dictates alike of civilization and
humanity We shall keep them and deal
with their inhabitants in our own way and
time Not even the Hoars and Schurzes
need fear for the Filipinos now. In laying
down their arms they come under the pro-
lection of the American flag and all that it
stands forever and exact justice and lib
eriy for all. in States and colonies alike,
so long as they keep the peace and obey
the laws. But in firing on that flag a
Tagal is no safer than a Hessian immi-
grant or a Congressman from Maine.

thur Wheaton, and Lawton has simply
completed the work that Dewey began.
And as Dewey was the hero of the first
chapter so is Colonel Frederic Funston
the hero of the last.
