TRANSMITTING WAR NEWS.
Secretary Root Issues New ReEuIR-
IutiOns 'RcEnrdInE the Sending of
ul Dispatches Over Military Lines.

i Secretary Root has issued orders
governing the transmission of dis
patches over military telegraph lines or
lines under military control. These
orders are subject to modification by
the commanding general in the field. 1t
Is believed this rs the outgrowth of the
round robin of the Manila correspond
ents, and a number of valuable privi-
leges are given newspaper men in the
field. Dispatches relating to the move
ment or administration of the army
in the field and of the navy are given
preference. Those relating to the army,
navy and governmental departments or
bureau of the United States come next;
then dispatches of state, territorial or
other civil officials; dispatches from
diplomatic agents of neutral govern
ments, press dispatches and miscel-
laneous business relating to death or
serious illness.
Dispatches containing matter deemed
injurious to the interests of the army
must be submitted to the commanding
general of the army in the field for
his orders relative to their transmits
sion. Personal and press messages may,
under conditions not interfering with
military business, be trAHsmitted free
of charge over field military telegraph
lines that IRE closed to the general
public. The use Of any cipher is for
hidden except by army officers, but
press code books may be used when
a copy of the code is filed at the tele-
graph office. Messages relating to mil
itary operations! will be received and
transmitted over the flying telegraph
lines when filed by correspondent
in the field who Is furnished with a
written permit to serve in such capacity.
Naval officers are Instructed to afford
newspaper correspondents in the field
the fullest telegraphie facilities con-
sistent with the public interests.

CODsonant with Supreme Ends of Gov.
ernment offered FnipInos.
Anti-expansionists persistently harp
on the untrue statement that President
Mckinley has not communicated to the
Filipinos any idea of his policy re-
garding them. In April, the American
Civil Commission to the Philippines,
appointed by the president, made the
following official declaration to them:
THE commission emphatically as
Berts that the United States is not only
willing but anxious to establish in tie
Philippine islands an enlightened sys-
tenn of government, under which the
Philippine people may enjoy the larg-
est measure of home rule and tae
amplest liberty consonant with su-
preme ends of government and COM
patible with those obligations which
the United States has assumed toward
the civilized nations of the world"
This answers fully all the Demo-
cratic twaddle abou. the "despotlc'
methods and intentions OF the United
States in the Orient
political party that Is conducted
for the accommodation of few selfish
leaders cannot hope to make much
headway with the voters. Free silver
and free trade are real Democratic
Issues, but Bryan win discard them
to gain his personal ends.

CUSTOMS PATROL.
Extensive Smuggling Into Cuba 30 be
stopped by Energetic Govern
ment Action.

Smuggling is being carried on In
Cuba on an extensive scale and the gov
ernment is now taking steps to check
it. 1t is said these operations are be-
ing conducted at nearly every port in
the island and the customs division of
the island of Cuba has appealed to the
war department for aid in suppressing
it. AS result of this appeal a customs
secret service will be organized and
vigorous measures will be taken TO
stamp out the lawless industry.
The island having both import and
export duties 1t makes smuggling
profitable, and 1t is comparatively easy
for both the natives and the citizens of
this country to evade the customs Of
ficers, as the coast line of Cuba is long
and practically unprotected.
The first step TO be taken by the war
department toward the organization of
this secret customs service for Cuba
will be the purchase of fast seaworthy
launches, which will patrol the coast
These boats will be bought at once and
dispatched to Cuba and continued in
that service indefinitely. ra
/ As-the revenue cutter service is short
of vessels it will be impossible TO de-
tail aii&tofBlie regular revenue cutters
for this service. Congress is respon-
sible for the lack of revenue cutters
as it failed to act upon the reeommenda,
tions of Capt. Shoemaker, chief of the
revenue cutter service, and did not
make any provision for the growing de,
mand upon this important service.

An experiment will soon be made at
New York city with a number of devices
for registering the time at which col
lections are made at mail boxes
throughout the city. 1t occasionally
happens that collector fails to get
mail from some Of the boxes on his
route and serious delays follow in
consequence. Several plans have been
proposed to prevent this neglect. One
is through means of card marked with
the number of the box and time of col
lection, which drops out with the mail
as it is collected. Another plan is for
the collector to stamp the time of col
lection on a strip, which becomes rec
ord of the office. Quite an elaborate
plan is to have electrical connection
with the post office and the boxes, so
that an annunciator at the office will
indicate when the mail boxes are
opened. If any of these devices prove
practical it will be put in operation in
all the large cities.

Why Is II?

There are so many mark down sales
about this season Of the year. Every
one trying to see who can make the
greatest mark down. Did 1t ever occur
to you how high these same a goods
must have been marked? 1t isn't pos.
sible that business can be conducted
without a great deal of expense, there
fore very high prices must be charged
on some goods to make up for the loss
entailed by such deep cuts We make
it rule to buy right and sell low all
the time. Our low prices clear out
the goods in season and when others
are making desperate efforts to get rid
of the past seasons accumulations,
we have new seasonable goods at even
less prices than the marked down
stocks.

reported Collision Between French
and Brazilian Forces.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.)
Kingston, Jamaica, Feb. 14.-Advices
received here from Cayenne, French
Guiana, say that the joint commission
appointed TO inquire into the boundary
question between France and Brazil
has just been heard from on the
Counani river. The news was more
sensational than satisfactory and for
some reason the colonial government
was doing its utmost TO suppress the
facts.
The correspondent says that both
commissions went out guarded by
heavy escorts equally matched. The
Frenchmen had the gunboat Jouffroy
and fifty Senegalese soldiers and
troops. A collision occurred between
these two forces in the interior. There
were no details and it was not publicly
known whether there had been any
bloodshed. The fact that the governor
Immediately sent reinforcements of 200
troops to the front without waiting to
communicate with Paris was thought
to Indicate that the matter was serious.
The French government has issued
an order that all liberated convicts now
at large in the colony shall be con-
centrated in Maroni. This indiscrimi-
cruelty on many now respectable citi-
zens in Cayenne. Being legally unable
to make any distinction between the
reformed and the incorrgible cut
throat element, which is annually
growing larger and becoming a menace
to the colony, all have been ruthlessly
included in the damnation of Maroni.

Washington, Feb. 22-The public re-

evening, was one Of the most success
full functions the White House has ever
known. As early as o'clock the pa

gate. The reception lasted from to
IL o'clock, nearly 5000 visitors being
admitted The interior of the man
sion was ablaze with lights and beau
tiful floral decorations. The Marine
band played in the conservatory as the
president and Mrs. Mckinley, followed
by the members of the cabinet and
their wives, the guests of the president,
the family and some few personal
friends of the receiving party passed
through the corridor to the blue par
lor. where the presentation of visitors
took place AS a study of the Ameri-
can people, tonight's reception was
most interesting, as this was the first
public reception President Mckinley
has ever held. Many of the callers ap-
peared in full evening dress, to be fol-

or some char woman from the depart

of a real evening party. Women in
hats, bonnets and heavy wraps; men
in overcoats and carrying umbrellas,
were numerous.

quested that Jackson's testimony be
admitted first as he had no other wit
ness al hand and he thought WINS
would soon be there. Judge Dickson
said that the committee had the power
but not the right TO allow the intro
duction of the testimony, but he claim
ed that it was incompetent until
foundation had been made for it by
the examination of WINS.
Several members of the committee
also had a word or two to say on the
subject. Mr.. Stewart thought it in
competent as not the best evidence.
Senator Whitney said he was loath
to shut Mr.. Jackson off, as he had OPP
posed his speaking on the floor of the
joint assembly. He added that he had
received a note from Mr.. Wins the
night before asking that his eXamina-
ton be deferred until late in the day,
as he wished to consult his lawyer be-
fore going upon the stand.
Just here word came from Mr.. WINS
that he would shortly be on hand, but
several members of the committee yet
objected to Jacksons testimony. Mr..

This concluded Jackson's testimony.
HUGHES TALK WITH WINS.
John W. Hughes was summoned and
Immediately objection was lodged TO
his testimony on the same grounds az
in the case of Jackson, but, for the
same reason. it was admitted. Mr..
Hughes was allowed to tell his story
without interruption, although entirely
hearsay. AT the time the committee
adjourned, a motion to strike it out was
pending, and will be decided the first
thing this morning. Waldemar Van
Colt made an eloquent argument
against the admissability of this class
OF evidence. He said, in part:
Mr.. Chairman: We object to this as
hearsay evidence. This matter has been
argued here considerably, and there are
a few suggestions which I want to make
as to why this testimony is not proper.
Suppose Mr.. Whitney here, with whom
I am well acquainted, should pull out of
his pocket a half dollar and should give
il to me and say, Mr.. Van Colt. l viii
give you that half dollar if you viii go out
in the other room and secure a favor 1
want from Judge Powers" and suppose
1 take the half dollar. Now, it is apparent
TO all of you, gentlemen, that there. is
nobody on earth who has heard that
statement except Bishop Whitney and
myself. l go out on the street and tell
Mr.. Mansfield that Bishop Whitney has
given me a half dollar to secure favor
from Judge Powers. Does that prove
that Bishop Whitney said il to me?
go to Senator Howell and tell him the
same thing; he is brought into court.
Does that prove that Bishop Whitney
told me that, because afterwards Senator
Howell says 1 came and told him so. So
