CLEVELAND GROWS SARCASTIC.
He Says INnI on Few Thousand
Who Oppose Annexation.


Princeton, N. j.. Jan 5,--Ex- President
Cleveland in replying to request of a
representative of the Associated Press for
an expression on expansion and annexa-
ton, said
81 do not care to repeat my views con-
cerning the prevailing epidemic of impe-
rlalsm and territorial expansion. Assum-
ing, however, that my ideas on the sub
ject are andquated and unsuted 60 these
progressive days, it is a matter of surprise
to me that the refusal of certain natives
OF our new possessions to acquiesoe in
the benehcence of subjecting them to our
control and management should in the
least disturb our eXpansonists. This phase
of the situation ought not to have been
uuanticipated, nor the incidents naturally
growing out of It overlooked.
THE remedy is obvious and simple. The
misguided Inhabitants Of our annexed ter
ritory who prefer something different
from the plan for their control, which we
propose, or who oppose our designs in
their behalf should be slaughtered. The
killing of natives has been a feature Of
expansion since expansion began, and our
imperialistio enthusiasm should not be
checked by the prospective necessity of de-
stroying a few thousands or few hun
dred thousand Fdlipinos
This should only be regarded as one
stage in a transcondentally great move
ment, mere incident in its progress. OF
course some unprepared souls would then
be lost before we had the opportunity of
Outstanding them, but surely those Of
our clergymen who have done so much to
encourage expansion could manage that
difficulty"

ROBBERS SHOOT POLICEMEN.
One of the Officers Died as the Re-
suit of His Wounds.

~
Chicago, Jan. 5.-Six highwaymen, who
were endeavoring to make their escape
after having held up the dry goods store
of H. c. T. Boorman, at S32 Twenty-first
Place, engaged in a shooting affray with
Policemen Edward Wallner and John Nc
Cauley this evening, and both officers
were wounded, Wallner dying three hours
later in the hospital McCauley was shot
in the arm and hip, but will recover.
When Wallner and McCauley were call
ed to the scene of the robbery they started
in pursuit of the men. The officers drew
their revolvers, but hesitated about firing
before the people on the street. When the
six robbers reached an alley they ran
behind a fence and opened fire on the
officers Both policemen ran into the
street and returned the fire.
Wa.lner was wounded at the beginning
of the encounter and McCauley was left
to do battle with the men alone. After
firing more than a dozen shots at the Off
GERS the six men turned and ran up the
alley McCauley following them and re-
ceived a second wound. He was then
forced to give up the chase and the rob
bers escaped.
Boorman and his clerk, Charles Carlson,
were alone in the store when five robbers
entered the store, one remaining at the
door They robbed Boorman of $35 and
a watch, and took s. and a watch from
Carlson. There is no clue to their identity.

Effort to Divide school Money in
Proportion 10 Taxes.
Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 5,--Two bills were
introduced in the House of the North Car
olina Legislature requiring all railroads
in the state to operate separate coaches
for white and colored passengers.
One of the bills is an exact copy of the
law now in force In Tennessee, and which
has been declared constitutional The
other bills is similar to It, except that it
provides that any first class coach may
be divided into compartments, separated
by substantial partition, In lieu of sepa-
rate coaches.
A bill was introduced in the House to
amend the state constitution to the ef-
feet that "all the money arising from the
taxation of the polls and property of the
white race, for public schools, shall be ap-
propriated to the support of the public
schools OF the white race, and all the
moneys arising from the taxation of the
polls and property of the colored race for
public schools. shall be appropriated to
the support of the public schools of the
coored race"
The school fund is now proportioned ac-
cording TO population, the negroes getting
as much per capita as the white people,
though they pay only about 10 per cent. of
the taxes.

AGAINST THE SOUTHERN.

Wanted to Give Up Branch Line as 1t
Is Running nt "A Loss.
Richmond, Va, Jan. 5.--A case of great
importance was argued in the Court Of
Appeals to-day. 1t is that of the South
ern Railway Company against the Frank
lin and Pittsylvania Railway Company.
The Southern is operating under a lease
the narrow gauge road that runs from
Franklin junction to Rocky Mount dis
tance of thirty-six miles. The Southern
is operating this branch at a loss, and it
wants to give up the lease. Only one train
is run daily on the line. There are two
other lines entering Rocky Mount, and
they connect with the Norfolk and West
ern. Most of the freight and passenger
business of Franklin county goes to these
lines.
Circuit Judge whittle heard the case
and decided against the Southern COM
pany, which took an appeal.

Customs Receipts VIII BE Allowed
to Remain There.
Santiago, Jan. 5.-A dispatch was receiv-
ed from Havana to-day, saying that the
customs receipts may remain at Santi-
ago. The effects of this information are
on the whole good, especially so far as the
laborers are concerned, for, prior to the
issuance of the concentration order now
suspended, numerous warrants had been
issued for necessary Improvements.
Senor Bacardi, the Mayor, has assured
the laborers that all works now in prog
ress will go on, and that, therefore, there
is not likely to be any immediate trouble.
But educated Cubans the members of the
San Carlos Club, the judges of the Su-
preme Court. the local newspapers, and
Cuban and foreign merchants here, agree
that the situation is substantially un-
changed, and that any such project as
was originally outlined simply means tax
alton without representation.
Prominent Cubans emphatically assert
that if a Cuban government should as
sumo to issue such an order-concentrat-
ing the customs receipts at Havana, civil
war would break out Immediately. AS it
is, however, everything is quiet and or
