the Army OF the Potomac sat down last
night in their thirty-ffth annual reunion
dinner at the Hotel Manhattan. Gel.

speech of the evening. He said in part:
Last Sunday in this hotel l had a long
talk with our President. | yentured to
ask him whether our representatives in the
Philippines had been as conciliatory as he
wished them TO be and as he thought the
people desired. For some time | had been
a little apprehensive on this subject. The
President said he was very glad to have
an opportunity 10 tell me Just what hap
pened, and as he laid no stress on our talk
being confidential I feel can diyulge what
he SAY. He told me that he had given ex-
plicit orders as long ago as February last
that under no circumstances should our
forces attack the Filipinos; that assur
apces should be given them that so far as
We found them capable to exercise govern
mental functions ii would be our purpose
to encourage them, and it was while doing
this that they organized a conspiracy to
capture Manila and destroy every American
in it. 1t was not until then, the President
said, when that murderous assault was
made that the horror OF war was let loose
on the Filipinos, and but for that. the
President believes, our peaceful policy
would have been successful among them.
Il regret that the President has not yet

right of sovereignty there is indisputable.
We have a right to expect that the inhab-

Negro Whose House Was Burned
Awarded 10000 Damages


Louisville. KY. May George Dlnning.
negro who sued the mob that fired on
him and burned his house and one of whom
he killed, was given a verdict for $50, coo
damages. the full amount he sued for, by
jury of representative Kentucky farm
ers yesterday.
The defendants are all white men, but
they possess no property. and have already
announced their intention of going to jail
ten days and then securing their release by
taking the insolvent debtors oath.
Members of the mob went to Dinning's
house, in Franklin county, in January,
1897 warned him to leave and fred upon
him. He fired back and killed Jodie Conn,
farmer. who was leading them. For this
he received sentence Of two years in the
penitent!ary, but was at once pardoned by
Governor Bradley and then brought the
$50. 600 suit in the Federal district court
His wife and ten children were driven
away from home and his house was burned.
Judge Evans gave strong instructions to
the jury in favor of the plaintiff. Under his
instructions the only question was as to
the amount of damages to be assessed
Judge Evans said there ought certainly
to be compensatory. and even punitive.
damages. The testimony indicated that
Dining had not fired the first shot. All of
the circumstances were in favor of the
plaintiff.
Judge Evans excluded about fifteen per-
sons named as defendants. and said the
evidence made these men liable: Doc"
More. "Ab" Freeman, Joseph Flowers,
John Flowers. John Phelps and p. H. Conn,
administrator of Jodie Conn.
Attorney for the defence admitted that
his clients had no right to visit Dinning $
home as they did. He said they admitted
they had done wrong in the eyes of the
law, but they pleaded paliiating circum-
stances. He declared II was not reasona-
bic to suppose they would fire into Dim
ning's house without some provocation,
and he took the ground that Dinning had
fred the first shot and killed Jodie Conn.
Counsel made the best possible defence.

A WIRELESS CABLE.
Mnrconi Planning to TELEGRAPH

Mnrconi Planning to telegraph
Across the Atlantic Ocean.
London, May 6.-The Secretary of the
Wireless Telegraphy Company says the
first attempt to transmit transatlantic
messages by the Marconi system will be
made during the contests for the Americas
Cup.
Stations will be established at Sandy
Hook and elsewhere along the course.
from which the entire contests will be
visible. Messages recording the progress
of the races will be transmitted from these
to point on the Irish coast in the neigh
borhood of Waterville.
The secretary of the Wireless Te.egraphy
Company said that Sir Thomas Upton and
Great Britain had been notified of the
project and had expressed theselves as
being intensely interested.
Whatever doubt there may be about the
practical value of experiments in wireless
telegraphy conducted by the Marconi sys-
tem the fact that he has succeeded IN
translating communications rapidly and
with great accuracy between England and
France through the sole medium OF air or
ether remains unquestioned.
OF course the distance that 1t is now
proposed to attempt is far greater. From
Sandy Hook to the nearest point on the
Irish coast is about 200 miles.
1t is also true that Marconi's success
has appealed TO the popular imagination
of all Europe as no other scientific
achievement of recent years has done
Yet no one claims novelty for what he has
accomplished except in degree. Before
Marconi astonished the world with his
system, twelve or fifteen miles marked
the limit that Ineligible signals by in
dUction had been carried.
Marconi more than doubled this when
he sent messages between Folkstone and
Bouiogne. a distance of thirty-two miles
The apparatus used by Marconi in his
across-the- e-channel experiments is also de-
scribed as being ridiculously simple. and
not at all costly. With the exception of
the flagstaff and $50 feet of vertical wire
at each end he can place on small kitch-
en- table the appliances, costing not more
than $500 in all. for communicating across
