OUTLOOK is ROSEATE
All Men Look Alike
to the Bates
Boomers.
CLAIM EVERYTHING THEY SEE.
But Some Of the Active
Campaigners May Lose
Their Yellow Jackets.

The men who have charge of the
Bates movement here, passed a busy
day yesterday, and held a couple Of
ward committee meetings last night,
when reports of a most satisfactory
nature were submitted. The committee
from ward 6 met in the office of Rep
resentative James Hunt. Every mem
Der of the committee, with one excep-
ton, was present and expressed an
opinion that everything looked like
Bates. They say it is hard work to To-
cate Guild man in the ward.
There has been considerable talk rel
alive to Mr.. Hunt losing his official
head on account of his activity in the
Bates campaign, but members of the
committee claim there is no foundation
for such a story. They say, and the
belief is shared by Mr.. Hunt, that
such expressions only tend to strength
en- their representative position.
1t is evident the Bates men expect
to carry nearly every ward in the
city. In addition to assurances of sup
port here, Mr.. Hunt has received sew
eral communications from surrounding
towns which he says are encouraging,
to say the least. A Grafton man who
has charge of the Bates campaign in
that section of the county, said yestel :
Cay that delegates from Grafton, Up
ton, Sutton and Millbury will all be
solid for Bates. Still another report
is that Leicester and Spencer delegates
will be of the same complexion. Few
of the north county towns have been
heard FROM but supporters of the Bates
movement in Leominster claim the SIT
uation has a cheerful aspect in that
vicinity Shrewsbury is another town
where the Bates representative feels
sure of the delegation
Bates representatives are located in
every city and town in the county,
and while many are working quietly
as yet, supporters in this city claim
there can be but one result
The Bates committee il ward held
a meeting last night at the office OF
w. c. Young on Hermon street, and
talked the situation over. According to
reports from this district, the same
condition of affairs prevails as in the
sixth ward. Everything looks rosy and
every one seems confident.
There was no meeting of the Guild
forces aside from short conference in
the office of Frank L. Dean last eve
ming when few of the faithful got
together for the purpose of comparing
notes. These men entertain the same
views as their brethren, who are work
ing on the other side of the PROPOSE
ton. Everything looks like Guild to
them.
Meanwhile, talk on the street against
representatives who have enlisted iii
the service of Mr.. Bates, continues
Men may be found at every corner who
are willing to assist in turning down
representatives who are active in the
Bates campaign.

There may be a reasonable difference
of opinion as to the wisdom of spending
any portion of the Cuban revenues for
public entertainments, but it looks as
if the war department had perfectly
valid answer to the charge that the law
has been grossly violated by the virtual
doubling of the salaries of Gen. Brooke,
Gen. Ludlow and Col. Bliss. Addition
al compensation outside of the stated
salary is expressly forbidden by the
statutes, but these refer solely to Off
GERS in the service of the army. The
Cuban governors are officers created
solely by the president and amenable
to no other authority until congress
gets ready to legislate. Furthermore,
the money does not come out of the
United States, but the Cuban treasury,
over which the congress and the laws
of the United States have no iurisdic-
ton. The excuse for these expendi-
lures is that the Cubans, but more es-
pecially the Havanese, demand gener-
Gus entertainment at the hands of their
governor, and if they were consulted,
no retrenehment on this score would
be permitted so long as there was a
dollar in the treasury. The total al
| lowance thus far made for the three
| officers named is $4,000 a year.

GEORGE Il. GREEN RETURNS
He Has Been in the klondike Region and
Got No Riches.

George S. Green, who left Worcester
in June 1898, in search of gold in the
Klondike. returned yesterday, very
much disillusioned on dreams of gold
in the far north.
When seen by The Spy man at his
home, 65 Windsor street, Mr.. Green re-
fused to talk, saying that he was fa-
tigued after the long journey home.
He was in the region around Dawson
for a year and took the Dalton tnail up
country. He is convinced that there
are some paying claims, and even i'm
mense wealth for a few lucky miners
in the Klondike, but nothing to warrant
the unprecedented rush from all parts
of the world that set in toward all
parts of Alaska,
With Mr.. Green We're irving r. Stod-
dard, c. A. Kilton, w. S. Hutchins.
William S. Smith and w. f. Pendel,
all Of Worcester, and George M. Town
send of Hartford. This party is ex-
pected home next week and not man
found gold in paying quantities, al
though Pendel is said to have found
some of the yellow metal AS far as
Mr.. Green knows. not one OF the men
that went from Worcester to the Klon-
dixie has paying claim.

HAMMOND HEARD FROM.
He Was Twce Reported Dead, But Is
Still IN the Army.

Misses Eva and Eta Stratton, 1
Crown street, received a letter yester-
day from Thomas H Hammond, a pri-
vate in the Twentieth United States in
fantry at Manila. Hammond served
in A Co, Second Massachusetts regi-
ment, in the Cuban war, and when
mustered out, went to his home in Kan
sas, where he enlisted in the regulars.
Residents of this city have twice
heard reports Of his death, but each
time Hammond has bobbed up more
than alive. His letter is refreshing
after reading gloomy accounts of life
in the Philippines. He wrote under
date of June %:
i am enjoying life here to it's fullest
extent. Time flies, and every moment
is filled with interest pleasant and
otherwise. While we were eating din
ner this noon, on the banks Of the Pa
sig river, the body of Filipino came
floating down the stream. The body
came close to the shore, and by means
of long pole, We turned him over on
his back in, order to get glimpse OF
his face A horrible sight presented
itself. His throat was cut from ear
to ear, almost severing the head His
eye had been nearly gouged out by a
machete.
Every man felt a thrill as we gazed
at the CHASTITY scene, but decent bur
ial was an impossibility, so we turned
| the body over again and left it to flow
into the ocean. 1t probably will, un-

service, l will probably buy half in.

The letter closes with the following:
Just give us pork and bareback,
And don't cut down our pay,
And well hold the Philippines
Till the dawn of Judgment day"

MAC MAY TURN PRO
Labor Men Want to
Arrange a Spe-
cial Race.
HOLLAND VS.. M'LAUGHLIN.
Both Men Have Been
Approached and
Consented.

Jmes ]. Mclaughlin, the well known
middle distance runner, may turn pro-
fessional before the season is over.
An attempt is now being made by
repres .ntatves of organized labor in
this city to make a half-mile match be-
tween Mclaughlin and Thomas Hol-
land, the well known Worcester pro-
fessional middle distance runner. Rep
resentatives of the Central Labor union
desire to match the men for a half-mile
race at the Labor day outing at the
oval. They are willing to put up prize
which win compensate the men for run
ming the distance.
Both men have been approached and
each is willing to try conclusions
against the other.
If the race is arranged it will be one
of the warmest that has taken place in
this city for years. Holland has been in
the professional ranks for a long time
and his time for a half-mile isn't known
as is that of Mclaughlin, who has run
as an amateur for several years. The
nearest Worcester people ever came to
knowing what Holland could do was in
a race at Agricultural park when he
covered the distance in I'm. 12s But the
race was a walkover for Holland, al
though there were good men against
him. He ran away from the field which
included Tom KenEey, and finished
yards ahead. He could have done many
seconds faster had he been compelled
to or had he desired to. Since that time
Holland has been matched for a half
mile race with Jim Trainor. The latter
was credited with being able to do a
half in about Pm. IS. Hollands friends
did not give away the time he made in
his trials, but there were rumors #
trials in about minutes, and nobody
who knew Hollands abilities doubted
the time.
Mclaughlin could once knock two
minutes out Of business. Probably the
best time he ever made for the dis
lance was q fraction over i'm. SIS.
Whether he can ever again equal that
time is matter of doubt 1t Is rea-
sonably certain. however, that Me-
Laughlin can do a half mile fast
enough to win from any but the record
breakers and a race with Holland
would mean hot struggle.
The committee in charge Of the OUT
ing of the labor men, recognize that
no better attraction could be secured
than a race between these two. Nc
Laughlin's turning over would create a
stir in the athletic world for he has
gained national Importance.
The move would doubtless prove a
wise one on his part There can be
nothing more for Mclaughlin as an
amateur, as he will probably never run
again II he remains in that class He
would undoubtedly secure a position
as trainer Of athletic teams, If he
turned pro. He gave his services to
young athletes OF Southbridge one year
and last year they wanted him again.
He could not undertake the task, as
be could not spare time from his bust
ness. and he could not accept mon

OFFERED A COMMISSION.
Col. E.P. CLARK Favors the Appointment
of Rev. Mr.. PhaIen as Chaplain.

Rev. Frank L. Phalen, the new pastor
of the Church of the Unity, is mem
toned as a probable candidate for chap
lain Of the Second regiment. Col. Clark
is known to favor his appointment and
has written Rev. Mr.. Phalen Offering
him the commission.
There is some discussion among mill
tary men on the appropriateness of the
appointment, and any announcement Of
his appointment in time to accompany
tine regiment TO camp, Aug. 10, is pre-
mature, pending the settlement of the
question of residence. The chaplain
bears the rank Of captain and there will
be abundant opposition to the appoint
ment Of a resident Of New Hampshire.
which Rev. Mr.. Phalen still is, as chap
lain Of the state militia. However, Mai.
Harry y. Fairbanks confirms the state
ment that Col Clark favors the APP
pointment of the new pastor of the
Church of the Unity. Rev. Mr.. Phalen
was chaplain Of the First New Hamp-
shire volunteers at the time Of the war
with Spain and accompanied the regi-
ment to camp.

All official testimony discredits the
assertion of the California mining ex-
pert, that monuments were erected
along the Alaskan boundary by the
Russian government as early as 1888
but a search among the records in
Washington and st. Petersburg has
disclosed at least one important fact
1t is that both the Russian and the
British admiralty charts, dating as far
back as 1902, recognize the boundary
for which the United States is contend
ing-that is to say, line following the
windings of the coast at distance of
10 marine leagues. There is no skip
ping across from headland to headland,
as the Canadian authorities would have
it, The British government never
heard of this new and undetermined
boundary till 1895, when the commits
sioner Of lands in Columbia got out his
remarkable map, apparently for the ex-
press purpose of taking in the Lynn
canal and Portland channel, which were
of obvious Importance after the discov-
cry of gold in the Yukon valley.
