Their findings may serve as a basis
for a court martial as effectually as the
findings of a court of inquiry, II has
some advantages in that it does not
begin with the presumption of a court
Of inquiry. Where a court of inquiry is
ordered, it is said there is conveyed a
distinct reflection pom the officer des-
ignated. Because of this when the
navy department requested the wal de-
to investigate the krIlIns 81 II nuniuer
of Spanish prisoners on board the Har-
ward, the latter instead ordered an in
spection board. considering that the
ordering of a court Of inquiry might be
looked upon as a pre-decision against
our troops.
Such officers boards are frequently
ordered to fix responsibilities for the
loss of damage of stores, and several
of them have been appointed during
the war to look into the loss of meats,
notably in the case of that shipped to
Porto Rico and returned to Montauk
Point. Like a court of inquiry, these
boards returned statements of facts de-
veloped by them Upon which the super
ior authorities can act.
1t is not possible at present to learn
in which direction the president leans,
but he has been in confidence on the
subject with the secretary of war and
the attorney general and the matter has
been discussed in the cabinet to some
extent.
Up to the close of the day, General
Miles positively declined to discuss
in any manner the events of the day
so far as they related to himself or to
discuss any statements contained in
any of the interviews attributed to him.
1t may be said OF these interviews that
while it is conceivable they might fig
ure, they would not do so OF necessity,
for the matters to be first looked into
are those connected with the character
of the army beef.
The matter was discussed at some
length at totay's cabinet meeting. It
was argued that if the packers who had
furnished the beef to the army had
fraudulently supplied an article of the
character charged by General Miles, the
country had a right to know it, and if
the charges were without foundation
the people had an equal right to know
that fact. Justice to all concerned, it
was agreed, demanded that the whole
truth be brought to light.
1t was also agreed that General
Miles should o be suspended from his
office as commander Of the army pend
ing such investigation, as 1t was not
intended that even by inference should
he be prejudged of any wrong-doing in
this connection.
1t is expected that the war investi-
eating commission will submit its re-
port to the president next Monday.

WALES S MAILBAG.

The daily post-bag at Marlborough

letters. says Howard Cameron in the
January Temple Magazine BY one
post there arrived the following: 4
request for the loan of CT ,O0e to en-
able a student of entomology to start

pressing letter from a French inventor
of a new diving dress, begging the
prince to don it and dive into the

these curious missiyes ever reach the

stocks when they are down and sell

when to begin and when to quit. There
is, however, another Wall street story
OF the man who boosted that he had
known when to quit and that was
when he had enough money left 10

Catarrh and Nervousness

catarrh Catarrh Is one of the ways In

Intimate.
Catarrh is chronic congestion OF some

should guard the mucous membrane against
congestion, are depressed and their fuuc-

JAPAN's TOBACCO LAW.
Martin and Swanson Investigating Elf
 feet on Virginia Product

Washington, April 19-senator Martin and Representative Swanson, of Virginia, have been in conference with state depart ment officials concerning a recent decree of the Japanese government which they thought might have serious effect on the tobacco interests of Virginia and other states.
 Some time ago the Japan government adopted the plan in vogue in some Euro pean countries monopolizing the gulf to- bacco industry, making it a source of gov ernment income This was confined to the Japanese product of leaf tobacco, the gov ernment buying it from the grower ani selling it to the manufacturers. Recently this monopoly has been extended to all leaf tobacco of foreign as well as Japanese production, so that the American and other import of foreign tobacco is taken by the government and sold to the manufacturers as they may desire 1t.
 This, however, did not apply to, any kind of manufactured tobaccos, cigars or cigar ettes although the duty on these goods was slightly increased by the last diet The duty is now about 100 per cent ad valorem, which is said to be far below the average duty on manufactured tobaccos. The Jap anese governments action to the leaf tobacco does not go into effect until the new treaty between the United States and Japan becomes operative. on July 17 next. The Japanese minister says the Japanese use of American leaf tobacco has been in- creasing steadily of late and that this will 20 on.

BRYAN'S VIEWS
 ON IMPERIALISM
FiIipinos Should be Granted Their
 Freedom
THE SOBER SECOND THOUGHT
Ofthe American People will Decide The Principle of Conquest to be Wrong and the Useless Murder
 Will be Stopped.

Fresno, Cal, April 19.-William J. Bryan has written letter to the Fresno Even ing Democrat giving his views on imperlia- ism. The letter is as follows:
 MT. Mark R. Plaister, Fresno, Cal:
 Dear Sir-In answer to your request for an article on the Philippine question for your paper I regret to say that the press ure of work upon me at this time makes it impossible for me to write at length. MT. Mckinley announced in his Boston speech that the policy of the government respect ing the Philippines was in the hands of the American people. It is question which the people must settle and much depends upon its settlement. I think 1t can be shown from a pecuniary standpoint that it will cost us more to conquer the Philippines and keep them in subjugation that we shall be able to make out of the enterprise, and what money does return from the Philip pines will not find its way to the pockets of those why supply rations for the army and furnish the sinews of war. It also in- vites oriental emigration to compete with American labor. But there Is higher view to take of it than the money view The principle of the conquest is wrong. Our nation has steadily contended against it. and 1t Is impossible to calculate the far reaching effect upon our people of doc- Urine that would substitute force for req son in the declaration of the nations pol icy. Those who oppose imperialism plead not for the Filipinos, but for the American people. Our nation Is strong enough to do harm, but it ought to be too great to do wrong I feel confident that the sober, sec ond thought of the American people will sustain those who believe that the Fili- pinos should be treated like the Cubans, namely: given their freedom and protected from outside interference
 Very truly yours,
 VIM. J. BRYAN.
