That is not strange. Mr.. Normoyle
is a goodenough democrat and good
enough man for the office of police
magistrate. His offending. in the eyes
of the Miner. is that he refused to let
W. A. Clark bride him. He is one of
the democrats whose names Butte will
long hold in honor; like other members
of the Silver Bow delegation in the
Montana legislature. he could have
tucked away snug fortune in his in
side pocket in the form of thousand
dollar bills.
Mr.. Normoyle spurned the proffered
bride, and one of the factors that will
help to swell his majority next Mon
day is the sentiment among honest men
in Butte that this conduct on his part
is the best guaranty that he will be an
upright police magistrate.

n CCORDING to a New York de-
cision ticket boughtfor a the
alter and not used on the date
stamped on it, is always good for adj
mittance to that theater. Under the
law man who buys a reserved seat
for a theater may not use it on the
evening for which he bought it, but the
statement, good for this date only"
stamped upon the ticket, does not pre-
vent the holder from using the ticket
at any time, when it would be good for
an admission to the theater. Any the
alter manager would have to recognize
the holders right to enter the house,
although that would carry with it no
right to the seat. 1t is that right alone
which is limited by the printed date on
the ticket. For all other purposes the
law decides that the ticket is quite as
good as if used on the date which it
bears.

NO PROMISE MADE.
Filipinos Had to Swear Obedience to the
United States.

United States.
Rochester, N. Y, March go. F.
Williams, United States consul at Ma
Mia. has written to his brother, L. l..
Williams of this city, concerning state
ments made by Agoncillo to the effect
that Consuls Williams and Wildman
had promised Aguinaldo and his friends
that the United States would grant alb
solute independence to the Filipinos as
soon as the islands were taken from
Spain. Consul Williams denies this eX-
plicitly. He writes:
II never saw Agoncillo nor made such
a promise to any Filipino. On the con-
trary. when Agunaldo's leaders applied
to me at Hong Kong to be allowed to
return with me to Manila, one of the
provisions of the conditions under which
l agreed to give them such aid as I
was able to give, was that they We're to
be subject at all times to the naval
and military authority of the United
States. This was agreed to before l
allowed them to accompany me, April
o. 1898, TO Mrs bay, where the fleet
awaited my coming. Admiral Dewey
knows all about the conditions which +
imposed. and complimented me on my
foresight and thoughtfulness.
This agrees with reports sent by Con-
sui Williams to the state department
from time to time and made public
through the press dispatches from
Washington.

the torpedo station at Portland. Ore, has
written to his father, Civil Service Com

to his report to the navy department
concerning the recent report of the find
ing of the body of Admiral Villamil. In
the letter he says:
There has never been any serious doubt
as to what became of Villamil. While In
Porto Rico I was shown an extract from
a letter written by oderius, lieutenant
on the Furor, in which he fully describes
vilamirs death. He was killed on the
bridge of the Furor and left there. and I

the bridge of the Furor when he was on
board just before she sank. l was ashore
for two hours and the idea that there were
any dead or wounded admirals hiding
in the bushes without my knowing it is
hardly probable. The Spaniards were very
ready to tell me who got ashore and their
one idea was to escape the Cubans. and
that they would have left an admiral dead
or alive to the tender mercies of the Gu
bans is highly improbable. I feel person.

A large proportion of this money goes

report says:
The interest felt in the prospective

Of the past year has been apparent in
the inquiries which have reached this

that no chief or acting chief of
staff corps shall be detailed or
ordered to any duty without the APP
prevail of the secretary Of war; widens
the breach between Secretary Alger
and General Miles to the farthest posi-
BILE limit. Alger has precedents for his
action, but he has gone further than
any of his predecessors. Not one of
the staff corps is now under the con-
troll of the general commanding the
army. The layman who is unfamiliar
with the practice and discipline of the
army may not be a competent judge
of the merits of the controversy.
Doubtless there is merit in the argu-
ment that the assistants Of the secre-
tary of war should be under his control
and in harmony with his policy. If the
country had a first-rate secretary of
war, there would be few abuses and
small ground for complaint. But when
the country has an incompetent secre-
tary of war and can't get rid of him,
there is bound to be trouble all along
the line.

Wars Costs and Its Fruits.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
The war with its consequences will eat
up S1,000.0O0,000 before we are ready to
close the accounts. and then we shall
have nothing to show for it except dis
tant islands. which We do not want. and
which, If we are wise. we will H,rn over

ing. We did not count the cost in time.
Now there Is nothing to be done except
to carry our work to its logical conclu-
sion without regard to cost. The Ameri-
can white mans burden has been already
heavy one. 1t is certain to be much
heavier one before it is laid down.

VIII Raise Duties.

Paris, March eft was proposed at
to-day's meeting of the customs COM
mission to raise the duties on certain
articles. The ministN of commerce,
however, opposed the @increase on the
ground that the taxation of articles of
American produce would interfere with
the negotiations in progress between
the United States and France. He
urged the commission to postpone a
decision in the matter until the close
of the negotiations, remarking that he
expected that these would result in an
agreement beneficial to French COM
merCe.

The present juncturc is particularly IA

which large amounts are habitually car

AS the California legislature adjourned

there will be a vacancy in the next senate
from three states-Callfornia Delaware

cry for choosing senator's is becoming so
frequent that it is steadily extending the
conviction that the method which fails
so often is a mistaken one. and that
United States senators should be chosen
