THERE ARE NO REBELS NOW.

Gallant Admiral Philip, now com
captain Of the battleship Texas in the
fight with Cervera's squadron, has con-
tributed as handsomely toward obliter-
ating sectionalism as Mckinley did in
his southern tour last winter
For nearly 30 years there has been
displayed in the Brooklyn navy yard
in a conspicuous place, a trophy of the
civil war in the shape of the ram Of
the confederate battleship Mississippi
which was one of the most dreaded of
the southern vessels in her day. Upon
this grim relic visitors to the Brooklyn
yard have for many years seen the le-
gend, PAINTED in letters of white, THE
Ram Of the Rebel Vessel Mississippi"
1t is necessary to cover this old piece
Of iron with paint at frequent intervals
to keep It in presentable condition.
When the workmen were engaged in
that duty recently, Admiral Philip hap
pened along. Painter" he said,
when you repaint that inscription,
lust leave out that word rebel. There
are no rebels now
The visitor to the Brooklyn navy yard
will now find the old ram of the Mis-
sissippi bearing the simple legend THE
Ram of the Mississippi" and north and
south applaud gallant Jack Philip for
his sentiment Though the war was
failure in every other respect, as it
VIII not be, if it causes the passing of
sectionalism. it will be worth all it
cost in money and in precious lives.
Like Mckinley, Jack" Philip has a
right to express such sentiments-the
right Of the warrior. His sentiment is
of a healthy, robust and practical char
acter. He was a midshipman in the
civil war. and fought as bravely as
any other in the bitter strife between
the states His words. There are no
rebels now" therefore carry the same
weight as those of that other warrior,
President Mckinley, who expressed the
same sentiment in different phraseol-
ogy on southern territory not many
weeks ago.
There is a tender place in the hearts
Of all for gallant Capt. Jack Philip,
who. at the moment Of victory over the
/ Spanish squadron, hushed the exultant
shouts of his victorious crew with the
command: Don't cheer, boys; the poor
| devils ara dying"

THE LATEST ATROCITY.

Late advices from the Philippines tsll
Of an ambuscade and possible massa-
ere which subsequent information may
show to be attended with more saw
age atrocities than even the Samoan
outrage. Fourteen officers and seamen
of the yorktown were ambushed a
week ago near the town of Baler, on
Luzon island, when on an errand of
mercy, to release a number of Spanish
officers and priests held by the><ebels.
While there is no positive proof that
any of the missing is dead, the vindict-
i've nature of the captors, together with
the evident reluctance of the Filipinos
to exchange prisoners, makes the navy
department fear for the worst.
Although up to the present writing,
information is meagre, it is doubtful
if the captain of the Yorktown exer-
cised good judgment in sending ashore
so small a party. 1t is difficult to see
how a handful of seamen and marines
could hope to set free eighty Spanish
regulars who were unable to break
through the surrounding bands of Fill
pinos. The mysterious fate of the
party acquires somewhat Of a local in
terest. from the fact that one Of the
missing seamen, Orrigon Woodbury.,
lived in the eastern part Of this state.

SMOOTH RUNNING NOW.
Big Buying of hterna-
tional Power-Spurt
to 81.

International Power made a sensa-
tional squirt, rising to 81 bid on the
curb, in New York. Monday, an ad-
vance of over 10 points from the quo
tations of a few days ago The auto
truck incubator, which apparently is
operated in the interest of this COM
pany, says the New York Journal Of
Commerce is bringing out a large
brood Just now.
In addition to the Boston Auto-Truck
Company recently organized, there is to
be a S10,000000 company for Rhode ISL
and. Fortunately, only $1,000, 900 is to
be called at present, else the little state
might be overrun with the new vehi-
cles. Then a $1,000, 600 Maryland com
pany is to be organized shortly, and an
other with 100000 capital for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Besides these, there
are rumors from Boston that a Massa-
chusetts auto-truck company is next
on the slate, to operate compressed air
vehicles in Worcester, Springfield, Hol-
yoke and other Massachusetts cities.
One specific reason for the new buy
ing of International Power is that all
legal complications are removed, so far
as the International Power Company
is concerned in connection with TAX
ing over Of the Corliss Steam Engine
Company. This property is valued at

OPPOSE THE WHARF.
Worcester Traction Company, Lessees of
Lincoln Park, Enter Ahutter's Protest


The harbor and land commissioners
granted q hearing yesterday at the
State House, Boston, on the petition of
Henry ". Goodnow of this city for Ii
cense to construct a wharf at Lake
Quinsigamond. City Solicitor Arthur
P. Rugg and City Engineer Howell re-
presented the city under instructions
from the board of aldermen, not to op-
pose the license unless the interests of
the city We're affected.
Francis II, Dewey, representing the
Worcester Traction company, lessees of
Lincoln park. appeared as a remOn-
strant against the license being granted
and entered an abutter's protest on the
grounds that the petitioner owns no
land where the proposed wharf will be
located, one side touching on the land
leased by his company and the other
on the causeway.
Charles L. Johnson, who appeared fol-
GoOdnOW. explained that the location
desired for the wharf is at the south
side of the causeway where steamer:
owned by GoodnOw stopped at a tenn
porary landing last year. According t
plans submitted by the petitioner j
will be unnecessary for his patrons t.
cross Lincoln park to get to his wharf
as they may reach the landing from tn,
causeway
The only point raised by the city so
lic;tor, IT. the interest of the city, wa
that If a license be granted that it con
tain some stipulation that would re
lease the city from all responsibility il
case it becomes necessary to widen tn
causeway for any reason, or in case
bridge should be built

From an EDITORS point of view, Boston
Is one of the worst-possibly the worst
cities in the country to publish a news
paper in. The fact is, the clean old town is
too good. If we only had a Devery for
chief of police, Plat or a Croker for
boss, and an Asa Bird Gardiner for dis
trict attorney. what nuts it would be for
the local department Lots of splendid
copy in those fellows.-Boston Herald.
Boston will never be dull town as
long as Gamaliel Bradford and Edward
Atkinson and George Fred Williams
live. Devery, Plat and Croker furnish
news that is of the earth earthly. But
real gayety is only to be found in the
fantastic performances Of Gamaliel
and his companions, and Williams and
his corps of circumstances. We term
thority of the Herald, which a few
years ago asserted positively that
Williams and his mugwump friends
represented the conscience of the re-
publican party. But it may be that
the contemplation of such supreme
goodness ana sucn lofty Intelligence as
that displayed by the parties named
may become palling, and cause the
Boston editors to sigh for New York
and the Bowery where they say such
things and they do such things" Dr..
C. Stanley Hall stated at Chicago that
he was not prepared to say that ig-
norance was not a good thing some
times, and he probably had some of
GamalieTs essays and Atkinsons sta
tistics in his pocket when he said it.
