Springfield, Mass. Sept. 12-The Con-
necticut Valley Patriots, the newly or
ganized branch of the anti-Imperialist
league, adopted the following platform
tonight:
THE Connecticut Valley Patriots have
united in a common effort to perpetuate
the principles laid down in the Declara-
tion of Independence, the maintenance
of which inviolate is the whole assur-
ance that government of the people, by
the people and for the people shall not
perish from the earth
Avoiding local and state issues and
disregarding party affiliations we seek
to promote the object by all such meas
ures as will give united expression to
the views of all who see in the present
treatment of the people of the Philip
pines by our government departure
from these time-honored principles. We
believe that the people of the Philip
pines, if given assurance that the Unit
ed States does not contemplate perma-
nent dominion over them, would lay
down their arms and the present de-
porable war would cease. Let congress
therefore make an announcement to the
Filipinos in the solemn language which
it addressed to the Cubans and to the
world at the outset of the war with
Spain''

DUTY OF DOCTORS TO DYING
ANOTHER STATEMENT BY DIR.
NICK ERSON OF MERIDEN.
An Attempt to Explain Recent Sensa-
tionnl Sentiments Tells When the
Administration OF Chloroform Should
be Made to Alleviate Agontes in Death
StruGgIes-An Answer to HIS Critics.

Meriden, Conn, Sept. ia signed
statement will be published tomorrow
morning by DR.. Nehemiah Nickerson,
whose views on the right of man to die
have caused such sensation. DR..
Nickerson says in substance that there
is nothing in the published interview
with him recently to show that the ad-
ministration OF ehloroform to patients,
dying of incurable disease, tends to les
sen the last few hours of life. He says:
BY removing the agony in case of
cancer or in the struggle for breath in
certain cases of heart disease or con-
sumption l should judge it might pro-
long the period. But this is point
which cannot be determined to a GER
tainty.
My remarks in Saturdays Morning
Record were intended to show what L
considered the duty of the physician
during the last few hours of terrible suf-
fering from incurable disease, when we
can act the part of ministering angel
in no more merciful manner than by
rendering the sufferer unconscious dur
ing the few hours that remain.
My consideration was entirely con-
fined to those cases of long continued
incurable disease where there could be
no possibility of a mistake and when
the patient was absolutely dying in eX-
treme agony, which the physician could
mitigate or relieve. Shall he stand by
in helpless inactivity, while pain and
agony wiring the last breath from the
poor sufferer? l say no, and doubly
no! Morphia and various anaesthetics
which my critics profess to use have no
effect on the pain of cancer unless a
necessarily fatal dose is given. The
physician in such cases finds himself !
compelled to resor. to chloroform In |
spite of all the anathemas hurled at me
the profession has and does in extreme |
cases resort to this means of relief"

finish his man. but Palmer, though half
groggy, ducked beautifully. McGov-
ern was all over him and kept and kept
working both hands to the body and
neck. Palmer again got into a half
crouching attitude and got to clinch.
AS they broke away, McGovern threw
his right hard over the heart and hooked
his left to the point of the jaw. Palmer
staggered from the effects of this blow
and McGovern seeing his chance threw
his right over to the mark and Palmer
fell to the floor in a half unconscious
condition. He made desperate attempts
to get up, but they were Intellectual,
McGovern after he delivered the final
blow, turned his back on his opponent
and waved his hands to his seconds.
The referee bent over Palmer and count
ed the seconds slowly and when he ut
tered the word ten, Palmer's seconds
jumped into the ring and carried the
defeated pugilist to his corner.
Palmer said he had nothing to say in
reference to the bout, except that he
was surprised at the brevity of the mill,
and he claimed that McGovern held him
with one hand while he punched him
with the other This was an erroneous
impression because any holding that
was done was done by Palmer. While
McGoVern was dressing, his room was
crowded with enthusiastic friends.
There was not mark on any part of
his body. When asked what he thought
of the bout he said: II don't know
what to say. 1t came off much quicker
than expected. l thought it would GER
tainly go 1T least zen rounds and may
be seventeen, but l had no doubt as to
the result I never felt Palmer hit me
and | am sure he was unab BILE TO touch
me with any effect. l am now ready 10
meet them as they come, George Dixon
first and the rest in their proper turn
Tom C'Rourke, on behalf of Dixon,
challenged the winner at lis pounds for
S. 900 a side. Paddy Sullivan, who is
Oscar GARDENERS manager, also chal-
lenged the winner on behalf of the
Omaha Kid" at any weight from ia
pounds up, for $4,000 aside.

stance of the Law and order league at
the 9th instant, were arraigned before
Judge John NJ Thayer in the superior

multiplying cases and would impose
only a nominal fine of $40 in five Of the
cases against each person. On the 9TH
er one he would fix the fine at 800, max
ing a total OF $50 and costs for each of
the accused TO pay The cost win be
heavy. The court deferred the taxation
of costs until he could look into the
matter. Secretary Thrasher and Attor-
ney Newton were in court. When ask
ed what he thought of the sentence Mr.,
Thrasher said: Il have nothing to say;
my responsibility and my duty ends
when our cases are brought before the
court. l think, however, it may be con-
sdered victory for the league, as it
was feared by some that the pool sell
ers would in some way escape punish
