Rev. W. M. Burrows, the minister
who recently married Perry Belmont
and Mrs Henry D. Sloane at Green.
WITCH, has been severely censured by the
General Association of Congregational
Ministers of Connecticut, of which he
is member. The couple were married
few hours after Mrs. Sloane had been
divorced in New York.
Mr.. Burrows was present and apollo.
gized to the ministers, saying that he
had been imposed upon by Mr.. Bel
mont and Mrs. Sloane In spite OF this,
sesolutions we're passed censuring him
and forbidding any minister Of the as
ISOLATION to marry any divorced per-
sons who have been shown guilty by the
decree.
By passing the resolution the clergy
men present bound themselves to take a
firm stand on the divorce question and
use all their power to bring about uni
form divorce laws.
The resolution also makes it impossible
for them to remarry guilty persons in
divorce case and persons who are for.
hidden to remarry by the laws of any
other State or the rules Of other Chris
tian churches.

A syndicate Of Baltimore capitalists
has written Commissioner of Agricul-
tuIe Koiner regarding the recent
report Of gold in this State. The
writers desire 70 learn where this min
eral is TO be found and in what quantl'
ties and such other information as may
be regarded as useful to those who
might undertake to develop the mines
According TO the recent report Of the
United States Treasury Department,
the whole amount Of gold found in
Virginia during the past year was
a. 800.
Second Auditor Ryland has received
letter from the attorney for the Bos-
ton firm that advanced money on the
spurious bonds, informing him that the
case would come up for hearing at
once. IL is evident that the at
torney considers that Jacobs, who
negotiated the loan, is an Innocent
party and will be acquitted. He had
il seems, obtained loans before on these
worthless bonds and always took them
up promptly. There are about 500, 600
of these worthless Kendall bonds in
existence This was the first install
ment of the amount covering the Vir-
GINA debt printed by the Kendall Com
pany. The other bonds were delivered
TO the State, and under authority of
the Legislature destroyed in the pres
ence Of committee Of the two houses OF
the General Assembly 1t transpired few
days ago that Boston excursion party
visiting the Capitol not long ago passed
upon Walker, the old colored janitor.
$50 coupons cut from these old Kendall
bonds. The coupons were presented
Walker as a testimonial Of his services
to the strangers in describing the sights
around the State House Presentation
of the coupons to the State Treasury;of
course, soon revealed to the venerable
ianitor the worthlessness of the present.

Ingaruoll on Expansion.

Dol Robert G. Ingersoll, in response
to IA request for his views on the Philip
pine question. K ave the following signed
statement:
4 am an expansi mist This coun-
try has the land hunger and expansion
is popular | want all we can honestly
get But | do not want the Philippines
unless the FIliplnos want us. and lteel
exactly the same about the Oubans.
THE question with me is not one OF
trade or convenience II isa question OF
right or wrong think the best patriot
is a man who wants his country TO 40
right. The Philippines would be very
valuable 20 Sc ;sion to us, in view OF the T
proximity TO China. But however
desirable they may be. that cuts no
figure We must do right We must
act nobly to the Fllipinos, whether we
yet the islands OF not. | would like TO
see peace between us and the Flllplnos
peace honorable to both. peace based
on reason instead Of force.
IF control had been given to Dewey.
If Miles had been sent 10 Manila, L do
not believe that shot would have been
fired at the FilipinOs, and that they
would have welcomed the American
flag.
After thus stating his views Colonel
Ingersoll was asked although you
are not in favor Of taking the Philip
pines by force, how do you regard the

The Richmond Times says: 1.-The
Danville Register seems to have a spite
against Hon. W. A. Jones. We clip
the following from the editorial COL
umns of the Register -
Hon. Willie Anxious Jones, late
senatorial aspirant, Is contemplating a
candidacy to succeed Gov Tyler in the
election Of 1901 for the governorship.
At least, the Richmond Times, which
boosted Mr.. Jones' senatorial confer
epce with all its boosting powers, an
nounces that it 10 stated By per-
sons who are supposed to know that
he (Mr. Jones) expects to become
candidate for governor two years
hence. And surely q man who en-
Joys his confidence ought to know. The
Times adds further that There is hard
" any doubt that Mr.. Jones has made
mn his mind to aspire to succeed Gov.
erfior Tyler. Aspire is very good by
the way, for truly many are called (or
think they are). but few are chosen. 1t
10 o long time off yet, and Mr. Jones
will have ample time to give the mat
ter consideration such a weighty propo-
sition deserves. "
Commenting on the foregoing Ghe
Times says:
I'VE are no champion Of MIR. Jones
nor are we championing the candidacy
of any other man. But we do not see
what he has done to deserve such nm
kind criticism as this. He 10 q demo
crat in good standing and has made
useful member Of Congress. IL he
choose now to stand for the Senate, or
II he shall choose hereafter to become q
candidate for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation he has the right to
do 20 and the right to expect that his
candidacy shall be respectfully treated
by the leaders and newspapers Of his
own party. We cay this much, not in
the interest of Mr.. Jones, but in the in
terest Of fairness. Z"

that II Congressman Jones enters the

What the Surgeon Of Otis Says.

San Francisco, June %. DIR Charles
A McQuesten. who was on the staff OF
Gen. f. s. Otis. and who was health
officer at Manila, has returned home,
invalided by the climate
Capt. McQuesten made a close study
of the conditions of the Philippine
situation. He is of the opinion that
it will take from 100000 to 100, 900
soldiers to properly subdue and hold
the islands He also says that the
peace commission was an absolute fail
ure. and that its work from the start
was without effect He strongly sup
ports the military government of the
islands, except that he thinks more men
will be necessary than has been estlmat-
ed.
'"Dr. Schurman knows that the COM
mission is a failure. and is coming
home in July. added Capt. McQuesten.
THE ENEMY Is AGGRESSIVE.
Unless troops thousands of them
are sent TO the aid Of our men there
they will be driven back into Manila
in the course of the next few months
during the rainy season Our men
simply cannot stand the climate Fifty
per cent of them Will be incapacitated
by sickness. and the territory overrun
will have to be abandoned, and Manila
will be in state of siege again.
"Our officers and soldiers have ac-
complished wonders, and have proved
themselves the best soldiers IN the
world but nothing decisive has come
Of it, because our men were not in great
enough force
lone of the great dangers that our
men have to face is the climate. The
newcomers will be at disadvantage,
because the volunteers who are return
ing hons are Injured to the climate.
This will make more men necessary
than we would otherwise have TO put
in the field As matter Of belief, the
Filipinos think they have the Ameri-
cans licked already"
