The garrison is commanded by Lieut.. Martinez, and of the 1fty-four men originally com prising it there are only thirty-three left.
 Lieut. Martinez refused to leave. He said he had supplies sufficient to last him three months, and he de- clared he would stay where he was until he starved. Colonel Aguilar, secretary to General Rios, the Spanish representative in the Philippines, took with him an order for Martinez to eVacuate Baler, but the best reply he could get to it was promise from Martinez to quit when General Rios came personally to tell him to leave Colonel Aguilar thinks that Lieutenant Martinez has become crazed by the hardships of his long struggle against the Fil:pinos

We are IN the Family of Nations.

We are gathering the fruits of i'm

feel the weight of family duties.
Thus, Mr.. Chambers-the learned
Chief Justice of Samoa-wrote a letter
to friend, and, as such letters will,
it found its way into print. 1t wouldn't
have mattered if we hadn't been in the
family of nations, but as it was. certain
expressions in it were not exactly diplo-
matte, and Father Mckinley was sorely
grieved that anybody should say any
thing to give offense. Father McKin-
ley never gave offense to anybody him
self, and it panied him when the Chief
Justice talked so recklessly in private.
Then Capt. Coghlan recited a poem
and told story in a company of gentl-
men. But it got out and the Captain
was disciplined because the speech and
poem offended the Kaiser, valued

who wrote letter to his sister in Gin
cinnati. 1t was humorous epistle,
with nothing serious in it. But it got
into the papers. Mother Long had a
fit and Father Mckinley was "vexed. "
Nations have gone to war for less
reason" we are told.
If naval officer can't write to his
sister jesting letter without causing
international complications, if he can't
make speech at private club with

vain monarch on the other side of the
world, if newspapers cannot poke gen.

diplomacy, are we doing wisely to go

without limit at the present time to
corrupt so-called Democratic leaders
Such leaders may be easily recognized
by their persistent talk about harmony
in the Democratic party by which they
mean that the party recede from the
stand it took in 1896; that it say to
the two million Republicans who join
ed them we were not honest; that it
say to the two million more who are
able to maintain the stand we took in
1896 that there is no hope. This is
what they call harmony. This is what
they call getting together. In 1896
when the entire corporation influences
were exerted on the Republican side
we got together $4,000 more than
ever before. There at least two mill
lion more ready to join US when they
are satisfied that the lines drawn in
1896 are permanent and are to be rig
idly maintained in the future.
1t is the duty of every individual
Democrat to SO inform himself upon
the great issues of the day that he will
be able to present the truth to his
nelghbors and friends. When this Is
done the success of the party by an
overwhelming majority will be assur-

After Many Years.

1t took Massachusetts 264 years to
get around to doing the square thing
by Roger Williams. In 1855 Mr.. Will
liams had the audacity to preach and
plead for religious liberty. For his
heresy he was banished the country.
Later John Winthrop, governor of
Massachusetts Bay, earnestly begged to
have the sentence revoked, but the
Bay government would not listen.
Mr.. Williams had preached the perni-
cious and unchristian doctrine of re-
ligious liberty, and his presence in the
Bay would be sure to bring the wrath
of heaven down upon every member of
the colony; besides, the hereto had
not recanted, which showed plainly
enough that he was bold. bad man,
and should be an outcast in the wilds
of New England.
Now, after a lapse of 264 years, the
state of Massachusetts has come to a
realizing sense of the fact that the
doctrine Roger Williams preached has
long since become fundamental sem
timent of Christendom" and the legis-
lature is arranging to relieve Mr.. Will
liams of his disabilities aud invite him
to return to the "old play ground" and
revel with the people of the common
wealth in Emersonian transcendeutal-
ism, whatever that may be. It's good
and noble of Massachusetts, to do this
thing, albeit it took the people long
time to screw their courage up to the
acting point. But that is Massachu-
setts' side OF the matter. 1t is by no
means certain that Mr.. Williams wants
to go back to Massachusetts. After a
man has been barred out of a place for |
264 years he is not liable TO pine a |
great deal to get back; besides, In all
most of Mr.. Williams old |
are probably dead or have
moved to other parts of the country. |

ASSOCIATION OF HEIRS
Formed to Recover Valuable New York
Property

Chicago May 1L-An association of heirs,
with George w. Mills, manager for the
United States FIGURING Mill company, at
its head, has been formed in Chicago to
recover an estate consisting of sixty acres
of property in the heart of New York and
Brooklyn. valued at 5000, 900.
This estate belonged to Alexander Mont
gomery, a tory who fled from New York.
when Howe evacuated with the British
forces. To preserve his interests, Mont
gomery leased his entire holdings for
ninety-nine years, and since then, beyond
a few spasmodic efforts, no attempt has
been made to dislodge the present owners
of the property. Mr., Mills has consulted
attorneys in New York as to the statute of
limitations and has received the opinion
that the heirs still have the twenty years
grace before their lien upon the state ex-
pires.
The heirs are said to number over $50
scattered throughout Canada and the
United States

WHITOITT CASE
At LAST SETTLED
Board of Trustees Accepts His
Resignation.
CAME NEAR CAUSING SPLIT
In Baptist Church He Was Arraign-
ed on Charge of Heresy On Ac-
count of An Article Written For
An Encyclopedia.

Louisville, Ky, May 1l-Dr. William H.
Whitsitt, who succeeded Dr. John A.
Broaddus as president of the Southern
Baptist Theological seminary in 1895, was
dropped from the presidency of the insti-
tuition and also as a member of the faculty
at a meeting of the trustees tonight.
1t was done by accepting DR.. whistles
resignation from the presidency and from
the chair of history as formally presented
to the Hon. Joseph Lowering, president of
the trustees, last July. This was not done,
however, until a strong fight had been
made by the friends of Mr.. Whitsitt, as
we'll as those of the opposing side, and it
required three sessions of the trustees to
accomplish this result.
The friends of DR.. Whitsitt said nothing
after the result was made known In ac-
cepting DR. Whitsitt's resignation the trus-
tees have, in fact, left nothing for his
friends to do, since the trustees have that
matter entirely within their control.
The action of the trustees tonight will
color to degree the work of the conven-
ton.
Now that DIR. whistles resignation has
been accepted it is not believed the Car
roll resolution will be introduced, although
1t is possible and probable that Or. Ea-
toms resolution will come before the con-
vention. This resolution authorizes the
state convention to name three men to fill
a vacancy among the trustees, the trustees
themselves to select the man from the
three nominated. This nomina ting power
is given to the convention, though in only
two or three cases was this power exer-
cised prior to the Whitsitt controversy.
The case grows out of charges Of heresy
made against DIR. Whitsitt, based on an
article written for an encyclopedia. In
this he made the statement, which he sup
ported by historical data, that the practice
of immersion was not in vogue prior to
1641, and that Roger Williams therefore
had never been immersed. This immedi-
ately aroused a storm of disapproval, and
since then the case has been a source of
continual discord among southern Baptists
1t has been brought up in one way or an
other at nearly every Baptist gathering
held since
DR.. Nhitsitt has a considerable follow
ing, and has been pracucaiIy victorious,
but several months ago he grew weary of
the wrangle and rendered his resignation
as president of the seminary. Friends OF
Whitsltt are striving to have the resgna
ton not accepted by the trustees, which
will be a victory for Whitstt The opp3-
stion contends that If he is supported In
his view the church in this country will
be split.

LIMIT OF THE LAW
Administered to One of Sunday Law vi.
olaters.

7. McClannahan was fined $1uy yesterday
morning for violating the Sunday closing
law This was the first one of the cases
tried, and great deal of interest was
manifested in the result. The defendant
pleaded guilty, and was given the limit Of
the law as a punishment From the amount
of the fine imposed in this case it is evil
dent that the city officials intend having
the new law enforced to the letter. @
1t will be remembered that McClanna-
han was caught in his saloon with sew
era1 customers by officer Kirkley and was
promptly put under arrest There were
other saloon keepers arrested on the same
day, but their trials will not take place
until Saturday.
1t is thought that the extreme fine i'm
posed on McClannahan will have telling
effect on violaters of the Sunday law, and
Trests in the future will be scarce.
The men caught in the saloons at the
time of the arrests were each fined S25 and
costs.
1t is the intention of the police to keep
a close watch On the various bar rooms
next Sunday, and any one caught selling
whisky will be heavily punished.

state Of the Country" In the course of
his remarks he referred TO the recent
lynchings in the south, saying:
Il boldly assert that these outrages
originate IN the deep-seated race hate in
the committee where they occur. If there
are black men so beastly as to be guilty of
the horrid crime with which they are of
ten charged that is no excuse for lynchingi
because in any clear case the black mans
punishment is sure and swift. There are
no vexatious delays. Some negroes are
legally put to death who were innocent of
crime. If the negro escapes he must prove
himself innocent 1 am entirely satisfied
that in some cases the crimes charged
have no foundation.
"A peculiar kind of policy is at the bot
tom of these outrages; politics, which has
for its purpose the denial to the black man
Of the civil and political rights which are
enjoyed by others. In most cases the pre-
tense that there is any other cause for
them is a sham, a deception and
fraud

DELETERIOUS TO
HUMAN STOMACH
Are EmbaIming Fluids and An
tiseptics.
POISONOUS IN MANY CASES
Four Prominent Witnesses Testify Be-
fore Senate Committee Specific
References Made to Food and
Drugs Being Adulterated

Chicago, May 11.-Before ire senate COM
mittee today four prominent witnesses tes-
tilted as to the effect on the human
stomach from the use of antiseptics and
embalming fluids and preservatives used
were deleterious and that in many cases
they were poisonous. Either prohibit
their use, they declared, or compel the
manufacturers using them or to brand them
plainly and explicitly, so that the con-
sumer may know exactly what is being
eaten. These witnesses were Henry Pif-
fard, a New York physician; Abbot c.
Prescott dean of the school of pharmacy
of the University of Michigan, and pro-
fessor of hygienie chemistry, Victor c.
Vaughn, dean of the medical faculty at
Ann Arbor and professor of hygiene, and
H. C. Adams, dairy and food commissioner
in Wisconsin.
DR.. Pirard made specific references to
food and drugs which are being generally
adulterated, some with dangerous results to
the consumer. Bromo settler, he said, Is
one of these. Properly, it should consist OF
bromide of potassium or some other SUBJ
stance of that kind and the ingredients OF
seltzer water. "But it appears" he con-
tinued, "that acelanitide is being extensive
ly used instead. In now the famous Adams
case the experts examination of the bro
mo showed the presence in addition to the
acute poison of acelanitide, so believe its
use is widespread
The commissioners made this statement
at the close of the day:
1.-THE things which seem to stick out
above the details of the investigation are
the facts that antseptics used indiscrim-
inately and to defraud and DECEIVE, that
they are in most cases deleterious and in
some positively dangerous.
Second, That in the absence of explicit
labels dishonest manufacturers are enabled
to put spurious goods on the market. These
things will he looked after in the proposed
legislation"
The testimony of witnesses heard has all
ready attracted widespread attention in all
parts of the country. Letters are begin
ming to pour in from New York, San Fran
cisco and other cities in general accord
with the testimony as published. Among
ether letters one came from Jacob Baize,
of New York, today, emphasizing the state
ments made on coffee by Graeme Stewart.
