Gwen monarchies," he said, engaged in
the colonial business have not found profit
in extending their colonial possession.
which have almost Constantly involved
them in cruel and expensive wars The
inevitable result of our entering upon such
a policy must be large increase in the
standing army. -
THE war is over" he said, "and we
find these islands on our hands. We cam
not escape the responsibility Of some equi-
table, just and right disposition of them.
The American people would never con-,
sent either to giving the islands back to
Spain, selling them to some European gov
ernment, or forcing government upon
them against their will and without their
consent The only thing left to DO is to,
aid and direct the people of these islands
to form government for themselves
A happy solution Of the present complt-
Gated situation would be a just, benevolent
and humane government, created by the
people OF the Philippine Islands under the
temporary direction and with the tempo
rary assistance oSthissG government Phil
ippine govefnmknt whose Independence
should be recognized aust as soon as it is
found capable oE performing all interna-
tional obligations We have declared our
purpose of assisting the Cubans to the
speedy accomplishment Of that end; why
should We deny that promise to the people
of the Philippines who have made the same
struggle for their independence and who,
through the aid and assistance of our Gov
ernment, now find themselves free from the
yoke of Spanish oppression? The Senator
thought there ought to. be declaration of
policy now.
Senator Clay concluded by calling atten-
tion to Gen. Leonard Woods statement
before the Military Committee that 1t
would require $4,000 soldiers for Cuba, and
said:
I'm my judgment, the acquisition and
retention Of the Philippine Islands means
an army of 10000 soldiers. 1t means the
annual expenses of the army will increase
from twenty to two hundred million dol
lars. A large standing army means that
the pension list will increase from FIVE 20
ten millions annually"

beef CONTRACTORS IN
A HUGE Conspiracy
Honest Army Officers in DAN
ger of Being Exiled.
Millionaire Dealers in an Ugly
Mood Over Revelations
Secretary Wilson Declares He VIII
Now Go Into the InvestiEatiOn of
Refrigerated Meats.

The assertion is now made that a proper
investigation will reveal an enormous
conspiracy of contractors and mi iioI aire
campaign contributors interested In b-ef
to exile every army officer making trouble
for the Administration by showing up the
beef ring. During the early part of the
investigation the big packers, with up
lifted eyes, vowed that 70 chemical liquid
had been used in preparing their bscf for
the army. IL was dry powder of boracic
acid and salicylie acid that was spriukied
over the beef and this was the faE0rite
way OF embalming the beef for the army
Hence the big miilionaires cou-d so!emnly
swear that no liquids or fluids were in
jected into the beef.
Secretary Wilson this morning with
great apparent interest read the article
in New York paper, which sets forth
that there is no secret in the preparation
of meats with dry salicylic acid and po5-
dered boraeie acid. quoting advertise
ments in trade papers to establish the
point at issue.
IF this be true" said the Secretary,
my department is not aware of the fact
OF the samples which were examined by
the chemists of the department none were
found to contain those ingredients. II
meats furnished the troops contained them,
no proof has yet been established. OF
course there may have been a few sides of
beef managing in the Cuban sun, thus pre-
pared as an experiment, but | don't know
it,"
Would it be the duty of your depart
ment TO investigate these alleged meth
ods?" the Secretary was asked
Il do not believe that it devOlves upon
US TO look into hearsay matters That was
the trouble with General Miles. He furnish
ed great deal of hearsay matter, but he
failed TO analyZe and place proof in an ac-
cessible position If anyon should fur
nish US with facts in connection with these
allegations and submit samples this de-
partment will analyZe them and go thor
oughly into the matter.
We have concluded our investigations
of canned meat The next stepeof the de-
partment will be the investigation of re-
frigerated meats and samples will be. pro-
cured immediately -

A SHOTGUN SUICIDE.
John Layton Kills Himself While
Hunting In Caroline County.


Preston Md. Jan. 24.-John Layton, son
of Beauchamp Layton, a farmer living near
Concord, Caroline county, killed himself
Saturday by discharging shotgun into his
left breast.
He left his fathers house early in the
morning to go to his traps, which was his
custom, some distance from their home
One of the family, who was looking in that
direction about noon. saw him returning
half mile from the house. but he sudden
ly left his course and went into a grove of
pines nearby. Although he did not reap
pear, II caused no immediate uneasiness.
as the family supposed he was in quest of
some game. But failing 10 return home by
nightfall they began TO fear some calamity
had overtaken him. His mother remained
up all night waiting for him, and at the
first light OF dawn started in search of him.
She went to the spot where he was seen TO
enter the woods and found her son rigid
in death. He had evidently well planned
the execution of the deed for lying near
his side was found n stick with which he
pulled the trigger OF the gun. After sitting
on the ground and placing the gun between
his feet with the muZZle of the weapon
against his breast, the weapon was dis
charged by the aid of the stick. Death
must have been instantaneous. as the en-
tire load took effect in his left breast
No motive is assigned for the act, al
though he had been often melancholy since
an attack OF the grip two years ago. which
probably affected his mind. No one how
ever, thought of his committing suicide.
He was "a years of age and unmarried

-, ANOTHER SENSATION
Charges a Hotel Proprietor
With Theft.
FlOurishes Thousand-Dollar Bills
in a Pleasure Resort.
The ex-Mayor Says He VIII Expend
Any Amount of Money Rather
Than Submit to Robbery.

New York, Jan. 24.-Frank A. Mcgowan,
formerly mayor of Trenton. who has been
in this city for several days, caused the
arrest early this morning of Simon Butt
ner, proprietor of the Hotel Winslow,~ at
1851 Broadway. alleging that he was rob-
bed Of $1,000 in Buttner's place.
Buttner is locked up, bail having been
refused. The robbery is alleged to have
occurred between January IA and 16. Ma
gowan is not sure Of the time. Arrested
with Buttner this morning was Albert
Shassman, waiter in the Winslow. The
police declined to relate the circumstances
of the arrest or the details of Magowan's s
charges.
w. N. Loew, Buttner's counsel, was not
so reticent. So far as can be learned Ma
gowan's charges against the prisoners was
that he had been robbed in the Winslow
in Buttner's presence Lawyer Loew gave
out the following letter, the authorship
of which Mcgowan would neither confirm
nor deny:
Mr.. Simon Buttner
Dear Sir: After another conference with my
lawyers, and owing to their advice, will not
call today, but simply now make formal de-
mand upon YOU for the return of those bankbils
10 me at my suite, No. 276 Fifth Avenue Hotel.
The bills ! refer to you know all about es-
pecially the 81 600 bills, for robbed of them
in your place, and in yaur presence, to say the
least, and ii not Immediately restored and re-
turned, we will this afternoon positively carry
out proceedings arranged by my counsel. ] have
ample evidence, and, as j told YOU, L will eX-
pend any amount rather than submit 10 such a
robbery l await your reply before acting, which
send by messenger.
II you do not comply with request or send
answer / will regard II as d decilnation and com
mence with warrant Immediately. Respectfully,
FRANK \. MAGOWAN.
According to statements made by Mr..
Loew Mcgowan went TO the Hotel Wins
low on Saturday night and soon began to
flourish thousand dollar bills. He gave
considerable money away. He retired at
II o'clock. and at o'clock Sunday after
noon left the hotel, returning at IL o'clock
that night.
Then he is said to have again exhibited
money. He left the hotel the following
morning. On Tuesday the foregoing let
ter is said to have been received by Butt
uer.
Wednesday Mcgowan held a conference
with Loew, Buttner and Detective Forget,
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel. Pinkerton
detective and former United States District
Attorney Scott were also present repre-
senting Mcgowan.
Loew sought to get Mcgowan to acknowl-
edge that he had written the letter to Butt
ner. This he refused to do. At this juno
ture Loew says Mcgowan slapped Buttner
on the back, saying: We are both from
Vermont. You return my money and all
will be right
Buttner replied that he had not taken
Magowan's money and that the latter had
not been robbed in his house. Buttner
added that no woman robbed Mcgowan to
his knowledge and certainly no one in his
| hotel did. -

ELLIcoTr CITY TROLLEY LINE.
Interest i'm the Construction of n
Bridge Over the Patapsco.

Interest i'm the Construction of n
Bridge Over the Patapsco.
Ellicott City, Md, Jan. 24.-The con-
struction of the eastern abutment for the
trolley bridge of the Patapsco at Ellicott
City has been found to be a difficult job,
calling for the best engineering skill. Ae-
cording to the designs for the work. the
granite pier must be bedded on the rock.
To reach a solid foundation ii is necessary
to mine far below the turbulent waters Of
the river. On the land side of the pier is
a large mill race, walled up thirty feet
high. 1t was necessary to put new foun-
dation under this massive stonework. and
far down there the stonemasons undertook
the task, which was accomplished success
fully. The Gambrill Flour Mills shut down
to allow the work to, proceed with the wa
ter out of the mill race.
Many hundreds of spectators, numbers Of
whom came out from Baltimore, viewed
the work as 1t progressed. Steam pumps
were employed to keep down the water
when the masons were at work. Albert
Weber, the contractor hurried the con-
struction for fear of rain and a freshet
down the river, which, should ii catch the
job incomplete, would cause heavy loss.
The through line from Ellicott City to
Baltimore, by way OF Edmondson Avenue,
or the "old road is expected to be com
pleted and in operation by the 1st of
March. BY that time il is probable the
Ellicott City extension across the river
and through town and beyond the western
corporate limits, will also be ready foT>use.
