All Means TO Crush.


(From the Philadelphia LEDGER
Accepting as true the censored dispatches that
the Filipinos are defeated in every engagement
and repulsed with severe losses, the fact remains
that every skiunish adds so many Americans to
the list of wounded, while the inhospitable eli
mate contributes material additions to the sick
list. Some weeks ago it reported that Asuin-
aldo and his followers were about TO surrender,
but the truces they secured were only for the
purpose of gaining time There appears to be
no prospect of ending the warfare except by the
employment OF force at least double the strength
OF that now in the field Putting aside entirely
the question Of the wisdom of attempting TO
subjugate the natives and of compelling them to
accept American sovereignty, it remains indis-
putable that. having put its hand 10 the plow,
the United States must follow up the furrow until
the task is finished So long the natives in
sist upon fighting they must be answered in
kind, and it Is clearly evident that General Otis
has far short OF the number of troops that he
requires The re-enforcements that reaching
him are barely sufficient TO take the places OF the
soldiers that are returning home that have
been incapacitated.

Christianixing orientaIs.
CFrom the Baltimore SUM-


Whether the Oriental mind will ever be pre-
pared to accept the Truths of Christianity is
i problem which only the centuries can solve.
That both China and Japan might eventually
adopt Christianity as the national religion is
not ineoneeivable. Whether this revolution will
be effected by soldiers or by missionaries remains
to he seen. Just at present China is receiving
many hard blows from the Christian nations.
Russia Great Britain, Germany, France, and
Italy are seizins its territory and disnembering
the Empire. In 4 few years the Empire may no
longer exist, but may be parti,iuned among Euro
pean powers, all Of which probes Christianity.
With the Empire broken into fragments, the Chi
nesc may lose faith in their gods and systems
of religion, which have been powerIess to protect
them from the onslaught OF Western landgrabbers.
The Chinese mind is subtle and initiative. and
it may be that when the cItaciysm comes China
men will conclude that the God OF the Western
nations which have so ruthlessly seized Chinese
territory is more to be feared and trusted than
their own gods

THE KANSAS PACIFIC DEBT.
The United states Brings Suit to Re
cover SG.5SS, 900.

Boston, June 21.-The United States has
brought a bill in equity in the United
States Circuit Court, through its special
counsel. Mr.. John C. Gown, OF Dayton.
Ohio. against the American Loan and
Trust Company the Union Pacific Rail-
road Company as the successor to the
Kansas Pacific Railway Company, and the
receivers of the Union Pacific Railroad,
Mr.. o. ". Mink and Mr.. T. p Wilson, the
main object of which is TO get full or part
payment of the debt of S6.5SS,03 with
interest, still due to it from the Kansas
Pacific Railway Company. after crediting
the latter company with the receipt of
Sc, ,303 600 received by the United States
on February 16, 1898, at the judicially au-
thorized sale to satisfy the subsidy mort
gage bonds of the railroad held by the
United States.
The subsidy bonds were issued by the
railroad company TO the United States to
the amount of $685. 600 as security for
Government bonds given by the United
States under act of Congress, passed in
the sixties, to help construct part OF the
railroad. The Government met the pay
ment of all the bonds which it issued.
the last of which matured January /, 1898,
and paid ont on them 81. .492. 600. 1t
brought suit in the United States Circuit
Court in Kansas for the purpose OF get
ting satisfaction of its debt arising from
the subsidy bonds out of the railroad
property, and on February 16, 1898, it re-
allied from such sale Sc. .303, 600. which left
a balance of sc, 6,5sS. OBS, it having withheld
s4,600,0H for transportation service pro-
vided for in the acts of Congress.
The plaintiff seeks to get the benefit of
the trust agreement between the Union
Pacific Railroad Company and the loan
and trust company, as it claims rights
Hereunder. and it seeks to share in the
benefit of the securities deposited there
under, and the sums realized from a sale
of them by the trustee. which is the loan
and trust company. So it asks that it
may be allowed to enter the Union Pa
cific receivership, that the rights of the
parties under the trust agreement be
fixed and that it be given its share of
the sum realized
The times., 1899-06-22

No one can think otherwise than that
it was unkind and even cruel in the Ad-
ministration to put Secretary Gage for
ward as the defender of the President s
order directing the destruction of civil
service reform. and a return to the spoils
system. Others of Mr.. McKinley's Cabinet
Ministers had felt the lash of press oriti-
cism, and the sharp sting of popular dis
favor and indignation. 1t is unnecessary
to refer TO the case of Mr.. Alger, and the
Sampsonian and other matters connected
with Mr.. Long are nearly as familiar to
the public. Mr.. Griggs has not been so
much in evidence. but is working himself
into prominence with the Administration
effort 10 save Carter and his associates
from punishment. Mr.. Wilson has tempted
fate in an attempt TO disinfect the beef
offenders, but Mr.. Gage was one of the few
immunes of the council board. He is so
no longer.
In an evil moment he thought he could
escape from the comfortable obscurity of
his existence during the Spanish war, by
presenting himself as the apologist Tor an
executive action universally resented by
intelligent Americans as a piece of party
and personal perfdy. He is welcome to
all the pleasure of his consequent sensa-
tions. The incident is not closed. The
more the matter he defends is analyzed
and its reprehensible operations observed,
the less favorable is the light in which
Mr.. Gage appears before his fellow coun-
trymen.
The Tariff Reform League is about to
publish its formal answer in detail TO his
apology and defence. 1t will be interest
ing reading, but, perhaps, not for him.
or for Mr.. Mckinley. It will show that
the demolition of the merit system in
tended. but not intended to appear on the
surface OF the movement, is much more
complete than was at first suspected; even
after it became apparent that the order
released to the spoilsmen over ten thou
sand places lately under the protection of
the civil service law. If Mr.. Gages had
been wise and contented himself with the
joys. emoluments, and pleasant opportuni-
ties of his enviable Office, he and his asso-
ciates in power might have been spared
the exposure which the Tariff League is
now prepared to lay before the country.
But as once before we had occasion 10
remark, he was incapable of knowing when
he was well off 1t is very hard on Mr..
Gage.

wedding to George Henry Boek. of s.;

New York. The marriage of the Two is
admitted by the family, but the name of
the clergyman has not been learned. The
family feel bitter toward Sloan. Miss Ed

spect young woman. Mr.. Boek is still at
the Hotel Touraine and will not discuss
the matter.
Edward Euston. a student al Harvard.
says he witnessed the wedding OF Mr..
Sloan and Miss Edwards. He says it was
performed at noon yesterday in Cambridge.
He does not feel that he has the right to
give the name of the officiating clergyman.
He says the pair went directly to Lynn
to escape being followed. He does rot
know whether they went TO New York
afterward. Boek was engaged to Miss
Edwards for three years, while Sloan lad
known the girl for only few months.

Buffalo. Miss Edwards was not guest at
this wedding.
Young Sloan's parents are out of the
city today. They left for Boston yesterday
but before going they received a letter

letter had anything to do with their de-
parture. Neither is it known that they

MoLINEAUx AGAIN ARRAIGNED
He Pleads Not Guilty and Is TntSen
Back to the Tombs,

New York, June 21-Roland B. MoIi-
reaux was arraigned before Justice Jerome
in special sessions at 2:2O O'Clock this af-
ternoon for examination on the charge of
having mailed the poison which caused the
death of Mrs. Katherine ]. Adams. He
was accompanied by his father and Barlow
s. Weeks, one of his lawyers Lawyer
Weeks began the proceedings by stating
that inasmuch as Justice Fursman had ii-
rected the district attorney to resubnit
the case of Molineaux to the grand jury.
an examination was futile. He therefore
waived the hearing. Assistant District At
torney Osborne repeated what he said be-
fore Justice Fursman, that he would pledge
his honor to ask the grand jury to dismiss
the case if Justice Jerome should release
Molineaux after an examination He said
he would go personally before the grand
jury and do all in his power to have the
case dropped. Mr.. Weeks said that as the
grand jury might pay no attention to Mr..
Osborne's recommendation. he would insist
on waving hearing.
Justice Jerome then told Mr.. Osborne
that the only thing he had to do was to
say whether he wanted any more witnesses
subpoenaed. Mr.. Osborne said that he did
not; that he was content with the case as
it stood.

Mr.. Weeks that he would answer himself
and did So The final question asked the
prisoner was whether he had any state
ment to make as a reason why he should
not be held.
Il am not guilty" Molineaux said in
clear tones
AT Justice Jerome's request Mr.. Osborne
stated that he would file the dispositions,
minutes of the grand jury. and other pa
pers in the case tomorrow with the clerk
of the court of general sessions. Justice
Jerome then announced that he would hold
Molineaux without bail for the Court of
General Sessions. Molineaux was taken
back to the tombs.
