iady to the district attorney.
She was assured that it a
]. \ am positive" she replied, with some
heat.
United States Deputy Marshal Meikel-
John then took the stand and testified to
the arrest of Earles and Edwards. When
the men were brought out from the Jail
the detective handed Earles a letter, adj
dressed to him, and which he accepted.
On the evening of the arrest one of the
men remarked:
well, I suppose you are going to take
US back to Idaho?"
During the cross-examination the wit
ness said that he did not know that the
men under arrest were Earles and Ed
wards, but that they answered the de-
scription Of the men by those names.
witness said he first received his instruc-
lions to arrest Earles and Edwards when
ne was IN Missoula. The men were sup
poseo TO nave gone to Anaconda, but on
gong to Anaconda he learned that they
mad ordered their mail forwarded to
butte. He then came to Butte and ar
rested them in the Butte postofice.
Charles b. Bratton testified that he re-
slded IN spokane and was in the employ
or the federal government as United
states postoffice inspector for the north
ern district of idaho INC this portion of
Montana. He had seen the men before
and identified them. He was directed to
proceed in the matter by his superior Of
ficer. He also told of Edwards ac-
k~nowledging to Judge Woods that that
was his NAME.
On cross-examination the witness said
ne had sworn to the complaints which re-
suited in the indictment of the men, and
that the information came to him from
a third party. He knew nothing about
the alleged guilt of the men as far as his
own knowledge was concerned.
What do you know about the COM
mission of this alleged crime?' asked Mr..
Mackel.
II know it from the report Of the mail
clerk. l was at Wardner when the mill
was blown up, and was told by the sta
ton agent" was the reply.
What do you know about these par
ties taking possession of the freight train
which delayed the mail tramp
The witness replied that he had been
told of the occurrence by the conductor
of the train. The affidavits were made
to the best Of his knowledge and belief.
He had been told, he said, that the en-
CINE was placed in charge Of men who
directed the engineer what to do and
when to do it. Witness was not informed
of the particular part taken in the mat
ter by Earles and Edwards. He had
been told that Earles and Edwards were
leaders in the movement to take charge
Of the freight train which was run to
| Wardner by the rioters. The Informal
ton possessed by the witness was fur
nished him by the officials who are CON
Quoting the inquest at Wardner, Idaho.
An adjournment was then taken until

THE PHILIPPINES PROBLEM.
Americans Have a Mission They Must
Not Shirk.
From the London Graphic.

FROM the London Graphic.
The Fslipinos have given us their meas
ure as politicians. The attack they have
made on Manila is political betise as well
as military blunder. By one act of folly
they have not only brought upon them
selves a military defeat but they have
regulartzed the position of the Americans
in the Archipelago, and have probably OBJ
tanned for President Mckinley that free
hand In his policy of expansion which the
United States Senate has lately seemed
disposed to refuse him . . 1t is very
unlikely that after this fighting the Ameri-
can people will consent to haul down their
nag. We could have wished that
their decision had been taken in a more
deliberate way and had not been forced on
by an accident. To leave the Philippines
to themselves after expelling the Spaniards
from the archipelago would have been an
abdfcation which no strong and civilized
race could perform with proprety.
There are national responsibilities which
are not to be counted in pounds. shilngs
and pence-responsibiities which involve
the honor of people capable of doing good
outside its own national boundaries and
OF these is the obligation of the United
States to take charge of the Philippines
They have chased from the islands GER
tain kind of civilization, which. however
detective from the standpoint of more pro-
gressive nations, is still superior to any,
thing which the natives could have evolved
for themselves. To leave them adone would
be to plunge them into anarchy.
The Philippines present very much the
same problem as India. They are inhab-
tied by some forty different races with re-
hSfons ranging from the lowest fetch wor-
ship to the most devout Roman CathOli-
cisln. Some of them are sen1i-civilized;
others are in primitive state of barbar-
ism, and all have their hands against each
other. To give them independence would
be merely to give them the right of cutting
each others Threats, and 10 relapse into
savagery. In any case the tyranny of the
Spaniard would only be replaced by the
domination of the superior Tagal, and this
can scarcely be called freeing the Filipinos.
The Americans have a mission TO per
form in the Philippines which they may
not shirk. They have to rule the islands
whether they like il or not. If 1t is not
for today it is bound to come eventually,
unless, of course. they prefer TO clear out
altogether and leave the European powers
to quarrel over the partition of the arch
ipelago.

sailor with fine protestations of regard, and
tafter some giggles and shuffling as the
women withdrew indicted him into the
dark interior of his house and set before
him delicious coffee and some doubtful
sweetmeats.
Kettle knew enough about oriental eti-
quette not to introduce the matter on which
he had come at the outset of the CONVEX
sation- He passed and received the neces-
sary compliments first, endured discussion
of local trade prospects and then by an
easy graduation led up to the powers of the
local kady. He did not speak Arabic him.
self, and Rad Ell Moussa had no English
But they had both served a 1ife's appren-
uceShip to sea trading, and the CURSE of
the tower of Babel had very little power
over them. In the memories of each there
were garnered scraps from a score of
spoken languages, and when these failed
they could always draw on the unlimited
vocabulary of the gestures and the eyes
And for points that were really abstruse
or which required definite understanding
there always remained the charcoal stick
ana the explanatory drawing on the face of
WhiteTaShed wall.
When the conversation had lasted some
half an hour by the clock and a slave
brought IN second relay of sweetmeats
and thick coffee, the sailor mentioned, as
1t were incidentally, that one of his officers
had got into trouble in the town. Its
quite small thing" he said lightly. but
L want him back as soon as possible, be-
cause there's work for him to do on the
steamer. See what l mean?"
Rad ell Moussa nodded gravely. "Savvy
plenty" said he.
Now, Kettle knew that the machinery
of the law in these small Arabian coast
towns was concentrated in the person of
the kady, who for practical purposes must
be made to move by that lubricant known
as palm-oil, and so he produced some coins
! from his pocket and lifted his eyebrows
/ inquiringly.

you'll say i shall probably be back by tea
Captain Kettle went off then in shore
boat, past a small fleet of pearltng dhoWS
which rolled at their anchors, and after a
long pull-for the sea was shallow and the
anchorage lay five miles out-stepped on to
the back of a burly Arab and was carried
the last mile dry shod. Parallel to him
were lines of men carrying out cargo to
the lighters which would transship it 10 the
Parakeet, and Kettle looked upon these
with a fine complacency. His tramping for
cargo had been phenomenally successful
He was filling his holds at astonishingly
heavy freights. And not only would this
bring him credit with his owners, which
meant promotion in due course to larger
ship, but in the meantime as he drew his
21a per cent on the profits, it represented
very comfortable matter of solid cash for
that much-needing person himself He
Rugged himself with pleasure when he
thought of this new-found prosperity
That represented so many things which he
would be able to do for his wife and fam
lily, which, through so many years. narrow
circumstances had made impossible.
The burly Arab on whom he rode pick
a-back stepped out of the water at last
and Kettle jumped down from his perch
and picked his way daintily among the
litter Of the foreshore toward the white
houses of the town which lay beyond.
1t was the first time he had set foot
there. So great was his luck at the time
that he had not been forced to go ashore
in the usual way, drumming up cargo. The
Shippers nad come or begging him to be-
come their carrier, and he had mulcted
them in heavy freights accordingly. So he
stepped into the town with many of the
feelings of a conquerOr, and demanded to
be led to the office of a man with whom
he had done profitable business that very
morning.
OF course. office" in the western mean
ing of the term, there was none. The wor-
thy Rad ell MOussa transacted affairs on the
floor of his general sitting room, and stored
his merchandise in the bed chambers or
wherever it would be out of reach Of pill
fering fingers. But he received the little

1t was quite evident thai the man wanted
something but Capt. Kettle did not choose
definitely to ask for his wishes. Over-curi-
osity is not thing that pays with orien-
tails. Stolid indifference. On the other hand,
may earn easy admiration.
But at last the man took his courage in
a firmer grip and came up from the Para
keet's lower deck where the hands We're
working the cargo, and advanced under
the bridge deck awnings TO Capt. Kettle 5
long chair and salaamed low before him.
Kettle seemed to see the man for the first
time, He looked up from the accounts he
was laboring at. "WelI?' he said CURLY.
1t was clear the Arab had no English. 1t
was clear also that he feared being watch
6d by his feIIow-countryn1en in the lighter
which was discharging date bags alongside
He Unanswered till the broad of his back
covered his movements, materialiZed some
how or other a scrap of paper from some
fold of his burnous, dropped this in Ket-
ties lap without any perceptible movement
Of either his arms or hands, and then gave
another stately salaam and moved away to
the place from which he had come.
IF you are an Out-Of-wOrk conjurer"
said Kettle to the retreating figure. you've
come to the wrong place to get employment
here
The Arab passed out of sight without once
turning his head and Kettle glanced down
at the scrap of paper which lay on his
knees and saw on it a scrawl of writing.
'HullO, he said. "pOStman. were you?
