SENATOR IN A LETTER TO HIS
CONSTITUENTS
FILIPINOS BOUGHT LIKE SHEEP
Says No Such Proceedings Were
Framed the American Constitu-
tion Defines His Position,
Which He Declares Cannot BE
Challenged by Imperialists.

BOSTON, March 30-A letter bearing
date of Feb. A, and signed by 100 or more
Of the most prominent men in and around
this city, headed by ex-Gov. George s..
Boutwell, commencing the attitude in
congress of Senator Hoar, and inviting
him to address them at future date.
was made public today. Accompanying
it is the letter of acknowledgment from
Senator Hoar, bearing date of yesterday
In which he says:
"I do not think there is any reason
personal to me for holding such a
public meeting. Undoubtedly there should
be and there will be, many public meet
ings the country over to protest against
trampling under foot the rights of a
brave people struggling for their liber-
ties, the violations of the principles Of
our own constitution, and of the declara-
ton Of independence, and the continuance
by the American people in the costly
and rufnous path which has brought
other republics to ruin and shame-which
will dishonor labor, place intolerable bur-
dens upon agriculture, and fasten upon
the republic the shame Of what Presi-
dent Mckinley has SO lately and so truth
fully declared to be criminal aggression.
IT think 1t will be wiser to have meet
ings of that character little later rather
than just now. We do not yet know
whether the present war for the sub
jugation of the people of the Philippines
is to. continue indefinitely, or whether
there is to be a speedy submission to
the overwhelming power of the United
States. If the war shall shortly be ended
we shall then be able to discuss the
question of our national duty, free from
the disturbing influences which exist all
ways when the country Is at war. If,
on the other hand, the war should long
and Indefinitely continue, the people will
begin to feel the burden of Increased
debt and increased taxation; the loss of
life and health Of our youth, and the
arrangement Of trade and peaceful in
dustry."
After quoting some personal ex-
periences growing out of his position
Senator Hoar says:

DETROIT, Mich, March 3O-Four hun
dred Detroit Democrats, with con-
siderable company of ladies, enjoyed to-
night the third annual banquet of the
Mohawk club, the leading silver Demo-
cratic organization Of Michigan. Letters
Of regret from Col Bryan and other
were read, with a telegram from Con-
gresham j. Hamilton Lewis, OF Wash
fngton, who was to have been one OF the
speakers.
Hon. T. E. Tarsney, president of the
club. introduced Mayor Maybury as
POSTMASTER. In his opening remarks the
mayor paid his respects to the trusts
by saying that no mob was ever SO dan
gereus to the peoples sinterests as the
capitalist1c greed which is eliminating
today, when great aggregations of CAPT.
tai are seeking to lower cost OF pro-
duction, particularly so at the expense
Of labor. The mayor predicted that the
time is coming when the advantages be-
ing taken for the enrichment of the
few Will be turned to the benefit of the
many.

widespread and long continued, and that
the foreign offices at London and Berlin
had been officially advised Of the affair,
that the state and navy departments
should be entirely without information
of bombardment by an American ad-
miral. Up to the close Of office hours 1t was
stated nothing had come from any of our
representatives In Samoa dealing with
the outbreak of hostiities The calls Of
Sir Julian and Baron Sternberg were
mainly for information, for at neither Of
the embassies had there been report Of
the occurrence or instructions, up to the
time of the calls.
SIGNIFICANT VISIT.
Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British am
bassador, went to the state department
at II o'clock, accompanied by his secre-
tary. Mr.. Elliott. and conferred with
Secretary Hay. AS this was the regular
diplomatic day, little significance would
have attached to the call under ordinary
circumstances, but, with British and
American warships operating In bonn
bardment, more than usual interest at
tached to the call. There Is no doubt that
the serious developments in Samoa were
discussed.
AS to the German attitude, 1t is stated
positively in a quarter thoroughly famil-
lar with German official sentiment. that
the outbreak now reported can under no
circumstances be construed as an overt
act against Germany, nor as a casus belli.
This is from such a source that 1t largely
relieves the possibility of international
complications. AS an evidence of the con-
ciliatory sentiment of the German govern
ment. it was said today that the note de-

TOPEKA, Kan, March 2o-A Demo

evening. Prominent speakers, including
Col. William Jennings Bryan, Of Nebras-

Mr.. Bryan stood out squarely for the

in 1896.
Mr. Bryan closed with denunciation
OF m1litarism, and what he termed the
tendency of the present administration
towards imperialism. He said:

WASHINGTON, March 8O.-(Special.)- y
Late this afternoon Mr.. Hitchcock, Of
the interior department, took a decided
step in the matter of the sale Of pine
on the Chippewa Indian reservations in
Minnesota. The long-expected order is
that the pine land sales scheduled to take
place In May shall be postponed to some
indefinite time, pending the further inves-
ugation and action by the department
and the land commissioner. In addition
to postponing the sale, the order of the
secretary also suspends the work Of tim

For several months conflicting pressure
has been brought to bear upon the secre-
tary In the matter of these pine sales
Memorials from the legislature OF Min
nesota, petitions and protests from vari-
Gus sources and the presence in Wash
ington of Indian delegations have all
served to complicate the situation and
to delay action. The Leech lake Indians
have been especially active in urging a
postponement of the sale, and the action
taken, according to the secretary, is in

Indians. They have, it is stated, urged
that their interests would be endangered
by the sale, and that the proceeds Of the
lands would be increased in the end by
postponement of the sale ordered and
by stopping the expenses of pine estimat-
ing, which last has been a principal griev-
ance, as the case of the Indians has been
presented. One argument advanced has
been that the carrying out of the order
Of sale would tend to cause renewed
trouble at Walker with the Indians of the
Bear island band, but interior officials
say that the decision of the secretary has
not been Influenced by this fear. The
whole question Is an unusually eompii-
Gated one, involving the operations of

the rights of the Indians, the political po-
sltion of a host of inspectors and esti
majors and the interests Of big lumber
concerns, whose wishes are not plainly
apparent on the surface, but who doubt
less have brought weighty influence to
