held with amazement the specters
of wrongdoing which have been
coniured up here and charged as
possible to the American people.
| have been astonished to hear
outside this chamber, men, who
for three years. watched unnoved
the tortures of Cuba, pleading
with fervid eloquence for the Fill

Spain, against the possible cruel

upon them"
The action of the senate in de-
manding the official records dur
ing the Spanish war Of Sampson
and Schley before acting upon
nominations that would place
Sampson ahead of Schley, al
though he was below him when.
the war began, is generally COM
menaed. The public has never
been able to see any reason why
Sampson should be jumped over
the head of Schley, in any official
report published of the connec-
ton Of the two men with the
movements against and fiual de-
struction of Cervera's fleet; hence
the general belief that it was a
case Of fayoritisln. This belief
has been strengthened by the
vague hints of naval officials who
belong to the Sampson CLIQUE
about there being something
wrong with Syhlev's record. be-
cause if Schley's record was bad
he need not have been promoted
at all. The senate Will deserve
the thanks Of the country if it
gets to the bottom of this bust
ness.
Representative johnson of Indi-
ana, republican, who was Kissed
last spring for making a speech
against the war with Spain, made
a speech in the house this week
against the Hull army bill, in
which he very harsl,ly criticised
the policy OF expansion and Pres
ident Mckinley personally. In
differetat words, HE reiterated the

public opinion, whether it was
right or wrong. Mr.. Johnson
said that if he was a member Of

now. They have got 1T, and al
though the opponents still talk
big, there is little, if ( any, doubt
of the ratification Of the treaty
when the vote is taken, and none
whatever that it will rot be
amended. The Overwhelming
public sentiment in favor of
prompt action on the treaty has
been felt in the senate.
Senator Teller, said in a short
reply to the advocates of immedi-
ate independence for the Philip
pines and rejection of the treaty:
81 do not believe that we are en-
tangling our feet by the rati6ca
tion of the treaty. We cannot
meet the condition which con-
fronts us in any other way than
by ratifying the treaty. / know,
of course, that we shall have to
maintain in those islands a mill

ment.
1t will be unfortunate for Ha-
waii if the idea of those who say
that no legislation ought to be
had for Hawaii in advance of
legislation for Porto Rico, and
the Philippines, shall prevail,
The bill providing territorial
form of government for Hawaii
has opponents who will take ad-
vantage Of anything to prevent
its getting through, notwith-
standing the statement of Ha-
waiians that legislation is abso-
slutely necessary to avoid serious
business and property complica-
tious on the islands.

very strong speech in favor Of
ratification Of the treaty Of peace
was rubbing it in on those who

We have heard OF the boy who want

meyer before OF q man who sold his
goods and then gave the purchaser
credit for the amount paid. To learn
about this send to James Vick's Sons,
Rochester. N. r.. who agree TO do this
in their Guide. The golden wedding
edition of Yick's Garden and Floral
Guide is certainly an artistic work,
with lis twenty-four pages lithcgraph-
ed in colars, and nearly one hundred
more pages filled with handsome half
tone Illustrations, photographed from
flowers. fruits, vegetables and homes.
While this guide is really too expen-
sive to give away, they give it with a
due bill for 25 cents worth of seeds for
only Is cents. Another new feature is
the doing away with the old packet OF
vegetable seeds and stating the guam
tity in each case, the buyer getting
more for his money.

The newspaper which earnestly
works for the best interests of a town
should be patronized to some extent at
least by every business man in the
town, even If they do not expect an
immediate return IN an increase OF
trade. No other business does SO much
freely and cheerfully as the country
newspaper, but many of the business
men do not feel under the least obli-
CATION to help keep the paper going
All they are after is to get their print
ing cheap. What can town do with
out its paper? And if the manager of
a paper looks after his own personal
interests at the sacrifice OF town inter-
ests, how soon will he be boycottel
and his business killed.

MASKED Robbers.
They DO IA Daring Piece OF Work I'm
PhiIad elphIa-Secu $4,000.

Philadelphia, Pa, June 20.--A gang
Of masked robbers, probably ten in
number, early Monday morning raided
the receiving Office OF the Paramount
Park Transportation Company at Bel
mont in Paramount Park, and after
holding up the receiver and five other
employees of the railway blew open
the safe, securing $4,000, the COM
pany's receipts for two days.
Frank Levan, the night receiver, one
of the men gagged and bound by the
robbers, told this story Of his expe-
rience:
"While | was standing at the office
door | heard footsteps in the rear
Turning, / saw two men with masks
on their faces. They had two big re-
volvers and took me into the cinder-
room and tied my hands and feet with
wire and laid me on the floor, with my
face TO the wall. In the conductors
room saw Whitehouse also being
gagged and bound.
when we were laid on the floor a
man was detailed TO guard us. In a
few minutes in came another victim,
who, think, was Watson, con-
ductor, and he went through the same
thing Then two more came in and
were bound. II only took them ten
minutes to blow the safe OPEN"

Krnrnr,s CnmnnIpn PInnn.

London, June 20.-The st, James
Gazette claims TO have received from
an absolutely reliable source nt Pre-
toria, capital Of the Tranyaal, the plan
Of campaign which will be followed by
General Joubert, commander in chief
Of the Beers, in the event of war be-
tween the Transyanl and Great Brit
ain. General Joubert's force, II APP
pears, will consist Of 10000 men armed
with Mauser rifles, In addition to for
ty-six quick-fring guns and 1,OOO.ar-
tillerymen, most Of them drawn from
the German and Dutch armies. With
these troops and help expected from
the Orange Free State, Joubert ex-
poets to take the offensive immediate
ly after the declaration OF war, enter
the Orange Free State and march on
Kimberly, the British diamond min
ing center In West Griqualand, which
forms four Of the seventy divisions Of
Cape Colony. Kimberley Is about 100
miles northwest OF Bloemfontein. In
his march ON Kimberley, Joubert will
use the railroad ns. far as available;
expects TO capture the town with
slight loss and blow up the De Beers
diamond mine. simultaneously, II Ia
added, the railroad from Cape Town
to Bulayayo will be destroyed by
Boer sympathizers and agents in Cape
Colony, who will destroy the Port
Elizobeth-Pretoria line south OF
Bloemfontein, to prevent British
troops from using Il,
Finally, Immediately after Kimbcr-
ley is captured, General Joubert will
advance on Capt Town, the capital Of
Cape Colony, through the western
provinces, where the Dutch predom-
mate and nre expected to join the
Beers. Joubert calculates that he will
be master Of Cape Town fortnight
after the declaration Of war and that
he will then be able to dictate terms
of peace,
