CURRENT COMMENT.

The Philadelphia Ledger Gnd) says:
mo sympathy will be felt in this section
for the Mormon missionaries who are being
persecuted for PROSECUTING in Georgia, but
it will be hoped, for the sake of humanity
ana the good name of the state, that the
faVorite lynchins tactics of chat part of
the country viii not be applied 10 them
1t is well enough to drive them off, for
their offense is not a mere difference OF
religious views but the teaching of crime
and should not be tolerated; but persecu-
ton should stop there. If the men require
further punishment let it be at the hands
of the law and not at those of Judge
Lynch"
The Chicago Record Qnd) takes this
view respecting present and imminent
strikes: THE outlook for strikes is prom
Using, if not altogether pleasing; but there
is an aspect of the situation which makes
the prospect less rorbiddiug than it would
be otherwise. such strikes as are likely
to occur viii not be against reductions Of
wages made necessary by falling mar
ket, but viii be for increased wages
marking belief in the return of prosper
ity. In other words, the strikes that may
occur will not be manifestations of dis
couragement but expressions of hope of
better things"
The Philadelphia Record Dem) says
"The diplomatic experiment in Samoa Of
treating ignorant, breech-clouted savages
as though they were educated and respon-
sibie persons has been an absurd failure
Where there are clubs and battleaxes and
recognition of chieftainship there will be
fighting galore. whatever poultce of pa
cihe outside authority may be applied to
the raw sore Samoa will be pacified only
when the we'll disposed natives shall have
been disarmed and the vicious mischief
breeders eXtlrpated."

MILITARY FORCES.
The Work of Their Reduction to Peace
Basis Progressing stea5ily.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE work Of
reducing the military forces of the
United States to a peace basis is prog
ressing slowly, but steadily.
Orders were issued by Maj. Gen.
Miles today for the muster-out Of the
Fourth Kentucky volunteer infantry,
now in camp at Anderson, Ala. The
Sixty-Ninth New Jersey Infantry is the
only one of the volunteer regiments re-
Gently selected for honorable discharge
that will be mustered out at its home
station. The others will all be mus
tered out at their present stations in
the south.
In the selection of regiments for a
muster-o out the main consideration has
been the interests OF the government.
and in every case the selection fell
upon organizations Whose services
could be spared with the least impair
ment to the policy Of the adrninistra-
ton for use of the military in Cuba
Porto Rico and the Philippines. Col 81
Consequently, the troops on duty in
those countries will be the last OF the
volunteers to be mustered out. The vol
unteers in the Philippines are likely to
be the first of those abroad selected for
discharge.
If no more reinforcements are needed
in Cuba and the Philippines between
now and the first OF February, It is
said on good authority that all the re-
naming volunteer organizations now
held in reserve in southern camps win
be mustered out within the next few
weeks

MR.. CHOATE.
President dominates Him
Ambassador to England.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE president
today sent to the Senate the
nomination of Joseph H. Choate
of New York to be ambassador
extraordinary and plenipotentiary to
Great Britain.
New York, Jan. 11.--Joseph Hodges
Choate, who has been appointed am
bassador to Great Britain, was born
January "a, 1882, in Salem, Mass, and
is the son of DR.. George Choate. He
was graduated in 1852 from Harvard
College, and two years later from Har-
ward law school, After a years study
in a Boston office, he was admitted in
1856, in Boston, TO the bar of Massa-
chusetts. In the same year he entered
the office of Scudder & Garter, in New
York city, but soon left and entered the
Office Of Butler, Evarts & Southmayd.
He afterwards formed a partnership
with William Fl. Barnes, but in 1859 be-
came a member of the firm of Evarts,
Southmayd & Choate. From that time
on his name became thoroughly well
known throughout the legal profession.
For the last ten years Mr.. Choate has
been generally acknowledged to be the
leader of the New York bar Mr..
Choate's political career practically be-
gan in 1856, when he took the stump
for Fremont. Since then he has been
known as am ardent republican, though
he has never held office. and at time he
has been credited with being by no
means in close touch with the party
organization. Mr.. Choate was president
The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-01-12

of the New York state constitutional
convention, which assembled in 1894.
From 1867 to 1871 Mr.. Choate was
president of the New England Society,
and from 1874 to 1878 president Of the
Harvard Club. From 1873 to 1877 he
was president of the Union League Club
of New York city, of which organization
he has always been an active and in
fiuential member. The present name of
the law firm Of which Mr.. Cheate is a
member is Evarts, Choate & Beaman.
1t has ben said, and with apparent
truth, that Mr.. Choate's time is worth
more than anybody's in any OF the pro-
fessions in America. A tale of the rea-
son for this would require the recital
of many OF the greatest cases of the
last 20 years. 1t would involve the
story Of the scattering Of the Tweed
gang, Mr.. Choate being largely respon-
sibls for the activity of the committee
OF 70 which conducted the investigation
and prosecution. He made the argu-
ment for Gen. Fitz-John Porter before
the commission which President Hayes
appointed to sit on the generals case at
West Point. Mr.. Choate secured a re-
versal Of the order Of the original court
martial Gen. Cesnola--the man who
collected the priceless treasures for the
Metropolitan Museum by his areheolog-
! ical researches at Cyprus and then had
his work rewarded by charges that
some Of the specimens were not gen.
uine-hired Mr. Choate to defend him
in a famous charge of criminal libel
which was brought by CASTOR L. Feu-
erdent. The general won his case. Mr..
Choate was the leading spirit in the TIL
den will dispute. He argued the Stokes
will case. His opinion was sought in
the Bering sea controversy. This is
only sample of the litigation he has
| handled
Mr. Choate is now 81 years old. He
has a scholarly face, surmounted by a
high forehead He talks always like a
man who knew as much about the top
ic as any man could know and just a
little more-and he holds back the little
! more for reserve

Gen. Wheeler's Appeal for Widows and
Relatives of Those Who Fell at Santiago.
Washington, Jan. 11.-Gen. Wheeler
appeared before the House committee
on pensions today, and made fervid
appeal for a special pension bill, Civ
ing to the widows and relatives Of those
who fell at Santiago and other bat
ties of the Spanish war an amount
commensurate with the gallantry Of
those VINO lost their lives.
Gen. Wheeler spoke of the sacrifices
and hardships through which our for
ces had passed and in particular re-
cited the brilliancy of their move UP
San Juan hill. He paid high tribute
to Col Haskell, one of the officers who
died on returning to this country, and
to Capt Gridley Of the Olympia. En-
sign Bagley, Col. Hamilton, Mai. Force.
| Capt. Dickinson and others whose
widows and relatives, it is proposed to
pension at sum greater than that al
| lowed by the general pension law. At
ter hearing Gen. Wheeler, the mat
ter was referred to a special commit
tee to report a general plan of dealing
with the subject.

On Main Street.
RICHMOND BLOCK
Visited BY Serious Fire
Last Night.

A disastrous fire visited the Rich
mond block. at al and 413 Main street,
last evening, shortly altar o'clock and
damaged the building and the property
of the tenants to an extent that is es-
timated as being in the neighborhood
Of $4,000. The building is covered by in
surance, and the tenants are protected
to nearly if not the full extent Of their
loss
The fire was discovered by Thomas
Orr, youth who tends switches at the
corner Of Main and Pleasant streets
for the Consolidated Street Railway Co.
At 10 minutes past . o'clock Orr saw
smoke issuing from the building and
had the presence Of mind to run to box
4. break the glass and ring in all alarm.
The box was not in good working or
der. and rang in a rather mixed alarm,
but the department was ON the ground
in comparatively short time. The
tiremen got to work as soon ais it was
possible to do so under the circumstan-.
ces. They were obliged to break the
large plate glass windows in Goulets
tonsorial barlors on the second floor.
When the windows were broken the
smoke was so dense that it drove back
the men, but after dillgent work they
succeeded in getting three lines Of hose
into the building.
The fire started in the rear room of
Goelets shop and when the firemen
succeeded in fighting their way into
that apartment they found that the
flames had communicated through the
wooden floors to the story above, but
the blaze was confined to the section
where IL originated.
The fire in the opinion of the flremen
originated IN a barrel of ashes in the
hallway Of the second story. The fire.
men found the remains of the barrel
and the ashes strewn in several direc-
tons The ash sitter was found and the
woodwork was burned almost entirely
off leaving only the iron rim and the
wire of the SITTER 1t Ia thought that
hot ashes were dumped into the barrel
by one Of the tenants In the early part
of the evening.

be determined today.

this part Of the plan was dropped.
The desirability Of Worcester was ad-
mitted by all the board and the circuit
committee reported favorably on it's
application. President T. II. Murnane,
Of the New England league was pres
ent from Boston, and agreed to sell the
territorial rights Of the New England

THE MURPHY CASE.
Exceptions Taken to The Sentence of Judge

Exceptions 7 AIKEN to The Sentence of Judge
Sherman to the State Prison.
Salem, Jan. 11.-CounseI for Clarence
Murphy, eX-cashier of the Salem Ma
tional Bank, whose efforts in behalf
OF their client resulted in the declara-
ton by the full bench of the supreme
court of Massachusetts that the indie
terminate sentence act, under which
Murphy was ordered to serve a term
of not less than 10 nor more than 10
years in state prison, was unconstitu-
tional, have filed exceptions to the re-
sentencing Of the prisoner by Judge
Sherman, last Saturday.
Under the ruling OF the supreme
court, Murphy was brought here for a
new sentence, and he was ordered to
serve year, 10 months and 81 days.
The prisoner takes exception to this
sentence on the ground that he had
already been put in jeopardy for the
same offense; that the court could not
lawfully sentence him to the state
prison, to said term or to solitary con-
finement; that the court could not law
fully resentence him in any manner.
and that the sentence was contrary to
the constitution Of the commonwealth
Of Massachusetts and the constitution
of the United States.
The cafE will first go to the supreme
court of the state, and, falling there.
will be taken to the supreme court of

Order to Look Into
Marlboro Strike.
CAUSING TROUBLE,
Mellen's Resolutions Exten-
ding Thanks to Mr.. Hoar.
Especial to The snv.A

Boston, Jan. 1.-THE first debate of
the session in the House came today,
rather earlier than usual in the season,
and was over the order Of MI Carey
of Hayerhill, the socialist member, in
structing the committee on labor to in
vestigate the cause Of the labor
troubles at Marlboro.
Mr.. Tolman Of PittsdeId was Carey's
chief antagonist, although he expressed
himself in sympathy with the pur-
pose of the order if Mr.. Carey could
show that any practical benefit would
result. The order was finally tabled
after considerable oratory
The feeling in the Ihuse is that the
committee on labor should handle the
matter in it's own way, and when the
committee asks leave to travel to
Marlboro and investigate the troubles
there will probably be no opposition
The resolutions extending the thanks
of the legislature to Senator Hoar for
his anti-expansion speech in congress,
which were introduced by Representa-
tive Mellen of Worcester yesterday, are
causing some trouble. Speaker Bates
has told Mr.. Mellen that he will have
to consider the resolutions for a few
days, as they are of much Importance
Today's democratic caucus revealed
fight between the state committee
and the Boston machine, over the mat
ter Of the empty honor Of nomination
for United States senator Alexander
Bruce, former candidate for governor,
is the candidate of the state committee
and p. A. Collins of the city machine.
Mr.. Bruce is to give the democratic
members of the Legislature a dinner at
the American House, Monday eve
ming, and the fight in the caucus today
was over the question of adjourning
the caucus to that time
