AFTER A TRUANT WIFE.
Swan Peterson of Green Bay has Sorrow
fll Tale to Tell

full Tale to Tell.
Swan Peterson, an intelligent Scan
dinavian, who claims that he lives near
Green Bay, was in the city yesterday
afternoon searching for his wife whom
he claims eloped with a young man
named Charles Hanson. The husband
said that his wife, Hanson and $3.50 of
his money, made by selling garden
truck, disappeared on July z. He had
little difiulty in ascertaining that the
couple took the train for Milwaukee.
He followed and found q boarding
house at Milwaukee where they had
stopped. Then he ascertaned that a
couple answering their description had
taken an electric car south and got off
at Racine. By accident he found that
they did not stay there three hours,
but took Car south and he eft for
Kenosha with hopes of locating the
pair, but had little hopes of so doing,
es he understood that Hanson told a
friend before he disappeared that he
was going to South Dakota.
Peterson said that he and Hanson
we're friends in the old country and
that he had assisted the man to come
over and then allowed him to live in
the family and that the man repaid him
by clipping with his wife and leaving
him with two little children. His wife
had always been good, honest and
faithful woman until Hanson came.
No trace of the woman was found in
this city and Peterson returned TO
Green Bay broken hearted.

THE following words from Aguin-
aldo's speech, made during the recent
celebration at Tartal, demonstrate
quite clearly where the leader of the
Filipino instruction and his followers
get their hope for the future and their
courage to continue the war:
Some States of the American Union
have arisen in our favor. Especially is
the Democratic party convinced that
both victOrs and vanquished will lose
precious lives. Thus many of the
people and many statesmen censure
President Mckinley as inhuman for
having ordered his military represen-
Gatives at Manila to seek means to
bring about hostilities with the Fill
pinos.
These facts prove that they wished
TO try US to see if we are able to live up
to the second color of our banner,
which signifies courage, heroism and
martyrdOm. Therefore we should not
resent this struggle with the Ameri-
cans In spite of their expressed de-
sire TO dominate all the Philippines,
we'll convinced are they that we fight
with justice and right on our side and
that autonomy is all show of deceit,
only serving to save certain accumulat
ed wealth"
The potency of such moral support
as the Filipinos thus express their
confidence that the bulk of the Ameri-
can people are giving them, is almost
beyond measure. This faith that the
American people will themselves soon
take the weapons from the hands of
the government and interfere in behalf
of the Filipinos is, without question,
responsible for the long continuance of
the instruction, and is as unquestion-
ably due to the unpatriotic statements
so repeatedly made and published by
such men as Hoar and Atkinson

IN an editorial headed More Light
on Aguinaldo," the Chicago Tribune
quotes the following from Murat
Halsted
When [ wanted to know what sort
OF a protectorate over the Philippines
by the United States he was in favor
of had been told he was for pro-
tectorate was slow in his choice of
words in the course of his reply. The
substance of what he said was that the
division of authority should be that the
Americans should stand off the fleets of
Europe at their own expense, and he
would rule the country and see to the
whole of administration, including the
finances"
Mr.. HaIsted is man who in matters
of this kind is usually exceedingly ac-
curate. His words may be taken as the
truth and not with a grain of salt, as is
necessary in the case OF many news
paper correspondents. What he states
Aguinaldo said that gentleman prob
ably said. The quotation is no doubt
a fair statement of the Filipino heros
~ hopes and ambitions in the Philip
pine struggle. 1t expresses his lofty
ideas of the possibilities of Filipino
republic and fully justifies the strenu-
Gus efforts made by Influential citizens
of the United States to uphold his
hands in his perniciOus struggle
against this country.

FROM the manner in which vOlun
eGeers are offering themselves for service
in the war in the Philippines it becomes
quite evident that there is at least a
class of rather important individuals,
considering what they are giving in
evidence of their convictions, who do
not regard the war as not worth while
nor altogether wrong.

A quieting down of speculative inter

The feature OF the iron trade this

the Lake Superior ore mines for the
coming year. An active demand for
finished products still continues. and
steel plates. iron bars. rails. structural
