Pardoned by President. .

The president has pardoned w.
G. Sorter, who is now undergoing
a life sentence for the murder OF
Albert Lang in the Indian Terrific
ry in 1888. The circumstances
connected with the killing were
such as to excite great sympathy
for ,Sorter among all classes ot cit
izens, and it is the opinion of per-
sons conversant with all the facts
that the killing under the law was
manslaughter and not murder.
Having now served ten years. the
usual term for manslaughter, the
punishment is deemed adequate to
the crime.
A pardon has also been granted
in the case OF Nathan Jones. con-
yicted in the Indian Territory Of

A wIDE-oPEN TOWN.
Hot Springs. Ark. Is Promised BID
Season I'm Sporting Circles.


look for 1899 as most encou 2ing
and claims much of it is due to the
open method in which sporting
matters are conducted. The SEN
tinel says:
In sporting circles, the ap-
preaching season promises to be
exceedingly lively. Mr.. Dan Stu
art arrived in the city last night
and his belief is that Hot Springs
will entertain more plungers this
winter and spring than for years.
His reason for this belief is because
the people have more money than
for long time in the past. Being
identified with sporting interests
all over the country Mr.. Stuart is
in position to know whereof he
speaks.
1t is generally known over the
country that Hot Springs is wide
open town, though under proper
police surveillance, and this fact
alone will attract a large number
Of sporting men.
There are comparatively few
places in the country where gam
bling is openly conducted-that is
to say, where players may indulge
freely without fear of the authori-
ties. a
At resort like Hot Springs it
is better that gaming be permitted
under proper regulations than
prohibited. People will gam
BILE in spite of everything done by
the authorities to the contrary.
This has been demonstrated all
over the country even in states
where gambling is made felony.
When it is conducted as it is in
Hot Springs the players enjoy i'm
munity to a large extent from
skin games for the reason that
those who would conduct such
games are given plainly to under
stand that when they are caught
they will be closed up and not al
lowed to gamble in the city.
In places where gambling is
prohibited games are conducted
under cover and players are fieeced
of their money whenever the op-
portunity presents itself.
Chief Toler is we'll posted as to
the character of the gambling
houses of the city and, it is under
stood. has given ironclad instruc-
tions against 'crookedness, plainly
stating the penalty.
There are number of straight
forward, broadguaged sporting
men in Hot Springs who need no
such instructions. These men are
governed by the principle that
honesty is the best policy. They
never have any trouble with the
authorities or any one else. They
pay their bills promptly; contribute
literally to charity and are in ev-
cry sense good citizens.
With the probability of two
more pool rooms opening up there
will be no lack of opportunities to
pick the winners this winter and
spring. There is something fasci-
mating about playing the horses
that it is to some people difficult to
understand, and the most enthu-
siastie players are those who ad-
wise all who desire to gamble to
give the bangtaiis a wide berth
Where there is plenty of life in
sporting circles there is always
plenty of money in circulation. and
If all kinds of sports could be in
dulged in here, including pugilis-
tic contests between notables in
the arena, Hot Springs would be
great resort indeed.

United States Makes Terms.
Hongkong, Jan. Leading
representatives of the Filipino jun
ta in Hongkong. in the course OF
an interview with the Associated
Press correspondent today, declar-
ed that the serious crisis in the
Philippines is due to what they
designate as overt, unfair treat
rnent of the Filipinos by the I'm .
ed States" They say that de-
spite the known fact that the
whole of the Vizcayas group was
in possession of the Filipino forces
Gen. Otis was ordered to take pos
session of the. entire archipelago
and dispatched troops and war
ships to the southern Vizcayas.
The Filipinos, according to the
junta, are determined to prevent
the landing of the Americans at
Iloilo, and may as a last resort de-
stroy the city for strategical pur-
poses.
The junta insist that rupture
of the friendly relations now exist
ing between the Filipino national
government and the American exc
cutive is eminent, and that hcstili :
ties are probable unless what they
characterize as the unreasonable,
unfair and overbearing policy of
Americans" is modified They
say the Filipinos would deeply
regret such a rupture, but would
accept it as inevitable" !"
In concluding the interview the
spokesman of the junta representa-
tives said:
The Filipinos appeal to the
American people to uphold the
rights of mankind and to avoid
bloodshed, assuring the Americans
of our desire to complete a friendly
settlement through an impartial
commission of inquiry.
The FiIipinos supported the
Americans against the common en-
emy' and they now look to the
American nation to fulfill the
promise made to Aguinaldo at
Singapore before he proceeded to
assist Admiral Dewey.
All the Filipinos ask is the
truest and best rights of man
kind"
