The GOLD PLANK.
Tho Claim That senator Foraker and His
Committee on Resolutions We're the
Authors 0f II Denied

Washington, Dec. Ex-senator For.
aker published some time ago a long
article concerning the origin and
adoption Of the gold plank at the re-
publican convention of 1896, in which
he maintained that the plank was pre-
pared by the committee on resolu-
tDns. of when he was chairman, af-
Ter much disc ussion and out of d.
verse materials. II. II. Kohlsaat, ed
tor of the Chicago Timcs-Herald,
published an article in reply in WHICH
he claimed the gold plank was
framed by the friends OF Gov. Nc
kinlcy. at "A conference held In Mr..
lIarnas room at the Southern hotel,
four days before the meeting OF the
convention, and therefore long before
Mr.. Foraker was elected either Z
member or chairman Of the commit
tee on resolutions. Mr., Koblsaat
claimed, furthermore, that there were
present ut this conference Mr.. Hanna,
Henry c, Payne. Senator Proctor, Ny
ron 7, Herrick. cx-Gov. Merriam, NJ.
y. Stone and himself, and that the
gold plank prepared by them was sub
miticd TO various republican leaders
aud also to the committee on rcsolu-
items, BY which II was adopted, with
minor changes of phraseology, and
presented to the convention.

The social system among the Moros
is much more primitive than it is
among the greater part of the other
Philippine races. A chief, or dato,
controls a district; he has his own
particular followers and his slaves.
Besides these he may command all the
men of hs own district in time of
war. He also has the right of life
and death over his subjects. For in
stance, a few weeks before we arrived
in Jolo, Dato Jokanine had occasion to
execute one of his followers. The
man had been intrusted with money
belonging to the dato. The first time
he came TO his chief and said:
''0h, great and benevolent dato, |
have gambled away thy money; for
give mel"
Very WELL" said the dato. "See
that il does not happen again"
Once more the retainer came, say
ing:
"0h, great and benevolent dato.
again have gambled away thy
money, and again beg thee, in thy.
great mercy, TO forgive me-" ID
"This is the second time | have for
given thee" said Jokanine, but the
third time, warn thee, thou shalt
die"
Ye. again the unfortunate man re.
turned without the money be had col.
lected for the dato.
"Oh. dato," he cried, throwing him.
self at the feet Of his chief, Il have
sinned again and taken thy money;
mercy! mercy"
"Cut him down." said the dato to
one of his men-at-arms. The man of
fered no resistance, and was cut to
pieces with one of the great knives Of
the natives.
Another story which shows well the
authority Of the dato over his people
is worth telling. II seems that q
blacksmith had been making love in .
quiet way TO a member of the harem
Of Dato Jokanine. Jokanine knew of
this, and came to the mans smifhy
one day The smith was just finishing
of large barong.
LET me see that knife" said Jo-
kanine. Then. running his finger
along the edge. he added: III seems
sharp; mat ! try it?"
Certainly. dato," said the unsus-
pecting smith. Without a moments
hesitation Jokanine raised the knife
and split the smith TO the chin. The
right a master has to kill a slave i
therefore no stronger right than that
exercised by all the dstos and the sui
an over the life Of every man in suln.

Washington, Dec. 22.-It is said al
the war department that the va
,cancy in the list OF major generals
of volunteers caused by the death OF
Gen. Lawton will not be filled until
after the funeral services over his re.
mains at Manila, prior to their trans
portation to the United States. II Is
said among well-informed officers OF
the army in this city that the appoint
ment will go either to Gen. John c,
Bates, Gen. :. Il. Young or Gen. Lloyd
Wheaton. These officers hold the
rank of brigadier general of volun-
tcers and each has distinguished him
self in active military service in the
Philippine islands. 1t is also under
stood that Brig. Gen. A. r. Chaffes,
who has been chief of staff to Gen.
Brooke. commanding the division Of
Cuba, is likely to be relieved of duty
in that division in short time and
given an important command with the
army in the Philippines. Gen. Lawton
held the Office of inspector general
with the rank of colonel in the regu
lar establishment.

Washington, Dec. 29.-When Maj.
Gen. Brooke was relieved from duty
in command of the division Of Cuba

rotary of war. AS result of the cor
respondence between Gen. Brooke
and Secretary Root the former has
been authorized to suit his own con-

ders, the idea being to allow him to
make the trip from Havana to Wash
ington by easy stages. Gen. Brooke

at least one dreaded disease that
science has been able to cure in
all it's stages, and that Is Catarrh.
Halls Catarrh Cure is the only
positive cure known to the medi-

constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls
Catarrh Cure is taken internally,
acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the sys-
tenn, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and
giving the patient strength by
building up the constitution and
assisting nature in doing its work.
