ing the beach for all it is worth. They
expect to all get out of the country
before the freeze up, which is ex-
pected about the middle of October. SO
intent have they been in digging gold
that no preparations have been made
in providing shelter for winter, and
they will of necessity have to come out.
Mr.. Fritz brought out a good sized

DECLINED THE OFFER.
Reply OF FiIipinos to American
Tender of Autonomy.

MANILA, Sept. 13.-Noon.-Th cor
respondent here of the Associated Press
has obtained a copy of the reply
adopted by the Filipino Congress to the
American offer of an autonomous gov
ernment The author of the reply was
Ambrosio Rianzares, who was offered
a position in the Supreme Court, but
who failed to appear, and was sup
posed to be detained by the insurrec-
tionists.
The document repeats the arguments
contained in the recent appeal to the
powers for recognition and the Filipino
claims that the Americans were the
aggressors in the war, and concludes:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we
could have accepted your sovereignty
and autonomy if we had not seen by
the behavior of the Americans in the
beginning that they were strongly op-
posed to us, through race prejudice, and
the high handed methods of dealing
with us made US fearful of the future
in your hands.
Finally we thank you for your Of
ferS of autonomy under sovereignty"

THE JUSTICE DOUBTED.
jeremiah Mahoney's Preliminary
Examination Yesterday.

| The preliminary examination of Jere-
miah Mahoney, charged with perjury,
was conducted in the City Justices $
| Court yesterday morning, and taken
under advisement by Justice Anderson
until this morning
Mahoney was arrested by Officer NJ.
P. Fisher some time ago, on the allega-
tion that in registering before Deputy
County Clerk Gallup, he gave his resi-
dence as the Hibernia Hotel on Front
| street, while as a matter of fact he
did not reside there.
Fisher and Gallup testified that Ma
honey had sworn that he resided at the
| Hibernia Hotel and that he had the
night before registering paid % cents
for room.
| Mrs Coady, proprietress, and Tim
| Sweeney, barkeeper Of the hotel in
question, testified that they had never
seen Mahoney, and that SO far as they
knew he had never had a room at the
hotel.
Mahoney, on his own behalf, testi-
fed that on the night before present.
ing himself for registration he had
upon invitation of an itinerant peddler
known as Baker Charley" gone with
hotel and slept there. He denied that
he had told Messrs. Gallup and Fisher
that he had paid % cents for a room
He did not recollect whether or not he
had slept at the hotel since he regis
tered, but believed he had not. He
said he had never spoken to Mrs. Coady
about taking a room in the hotel, and
admitted that he had no fixed place
of residence
Justice Anderson doubted whether
the question as to the place of resi-
dence could be considered, and the City
Attorney said he had never before
heard of such an idea, and that if that
portion was to be eliminated the case
might as we'll be dismissed without go
ing further.
Justice Anderson replied that if the
City Attorney repeated his statement
he would commit him to the City Prison
for contempt
The City Attorney persisted that if
he showed that Mahoney had sworn
falsely as to his place of residence, he
had made out his case of perjury
Justice Anderson said he was inclined
to think that the crime of perjury had
not been committed, but that he wanted
further time to examine the law of the
case and would take the matter under
advisement until this morning
Elwood Bruner, attorney for the de-
fendant, contended that if the election
laws had been violated, penalty was
provided to meet the case, and that the
complaint should have been drawn un-
der that section and not under the gem
eral one applying to perjury.

WASSERMAN, KAUFMAN & CO.:


ity, we ask that Thou give him con-
tinued strength and life, that he may
be enabled to continue his heroic bat
tie for liberty and for human rights,
until his most wicked enemy may be
forced to admit his innocence and to
acknowledge the crime which has been
committed, not only upon this victim
of religious hatred and malignity, but
upon the rights of man as we'll.
We ask Three, oh Lord. in Thy mercy
and kindness, TO guard and shield and
protect the people of distracted and un-
happy France against the further evil
deeds of it's internal enemies. Remem-
bering as we do that this same France,
now branded before the world as most
infamous because of its cruel; unright-
eous treatment of an honest and in
nocent man, was also the cradle of
liberty, and that its people fought most
valiantly for human rights and for hu-
man equality. We ask that in Thy
kindness and mercy, Thou wilt give its
patriotic men and women who are
at this hour filled with grief at the
crime which has been committed by
the army of their country, the strength,
the wisdom and the power to awaken
in the hearts and minds OF their mis-
guided and blinded fellow citizens of
France, a realization of the frightful
national wrong which has been COM
mitted and a quickened sense of the
degradation to which they have fallen.
Give these noble French patriots the
strength to carry out their heroic eff
forts to bring light where darkness
now prevails; a sense of justice where
injustice reigns supreme, and love
for righteousness where crime sits en-
throned May they, with Thy help,
be enabled to expose and to punish
wickedness in high places and to thus
bring unhappy France, with it's army
of noble men and women, back to
period of peace and happiness; when,
by the practice of justice and the love
of Righteousness, the people of that
once great and mighty nation, may
regain the confidence, the respect and
the esteem of the world now so justly
forfeited.
Bless the noble woman who calls the
unfortunate victim husband. Bless the
innocent children who call the martyr
to hate aRd bigotry, father. Give them
continued courage to bravely bear up
under their heavy load of suffering and
misfortune, and vouchsafe for them an
early day when father, mother, chill
dren, may again be happily reunited;
honored for their righteousness; ad-
mired for their courage; beloved for
their noble conduct during the weary
years of sorrow and suffering. Bless
them with coming years of peace and
happiness, of tranquility and blessed
ness. and bless us all with the privi-
lege of being permitted to, become, in
the end, living witnesses of Thy good
ness and mercy, Thy loving kindness

fact that the government which is
We'll adapted to one tribe may need
considerable modification to be availa-
BILE for another
Asked about the capacity of the Fill
pino people to govern themselves, Pres
ident Schurman replied that they had
had no experience in government,
except in municipal affairs, and even
these were subject to control of the
Spanish authorities. He thought. how
ever, that each tribe might, subject to
the supervision of a wise general gov
ernment, manage in the main it's own
municipal and provincial affairs. Su,

SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER
1t Will be Printed and Used at the
Coming Primaries.

At the adjourned meeting of the City
Board of Trustees last night, trustee
Tebbets called attention to the fact
that at the previous meeting the board
had voted to contract with County
Clerk Hamilton for compiling a sup
plement to the Great Register for the
city general election. He said that un-
less the supplement was printed for use
at the coming primaries, complications
would arise. The supplement, he said,
could be published by the 18th instant,
the date of the primaries, and he moved
that contract be entered into for
printing the same.
Trustee Devine objected, claiming
that to close registration now to print
the supplement would entail a double
cost to the city, inasmuch as the regis
tration for the city election would nave
to be kept open long after the primaries
were held, and that before the general
city election another supplement would
have to be printed, which would dou-
BILE the cost
On the other hand it was held that
the type used for printing the primary
supplement could be held and that sub
sequent registrations could be set in
or added to and the forms closed WltE
but little extra cost.
Corporation Counsel Devine called at
tention to the fact that in his COM
munication to the board, handed in two
months ago, explaining the steps to be
taken under the Stratton primary law,
he had clearly stated that it was in
cumbent upon the board to have such
supplement printed.
That settled the matter and the mo-
tion that the supplement for the pri-
maries be printed, was carried, DeVlne
voting no.
At Clerk Desmond's suggestion the
Finance Committee was empowered
and instructed to let a contract for the
printing Of the supplement, so as to
have it ready for use at the primaries,
which will be held on the 10Th instant.

others badly injured.
The storm was the worst known mere
since the hurricane of 1850. In fact'
many of the inhabitants say it ex-
ceeded that of 1880 in violence. The
weather now is moderating, and the
barometer is rising.
1t is rumored that damage amount
ing to 100000 has been done at the
