Croker refused to answer questions as to
how much he paid for his stock in the

Carry the Flag Up the Amazon.

New York, April IA dispatch to the
Herald from Para says:
The United States ship Wilmington has
received a special commission from the
governor authorizing her departure for
Iquitos, without license, which has caused
considerable comment among the people.
Under the orders given by the navy de
partment, the gunboat Wilmington is
making a cruise up the Amazon river for
the purpose of displaying the American
flag. The Wilmington left Para on March
10 for ports along the Amazon river, the
last point from which Commander Todd,
commanding, reported being Manos, which
she reached March %. So far as can be
learned, nothing has since been heard from
Commander Todd, but the officials are con-
fident that he observed the proper tactics
in the manner of his arrival and departure
from ports.

E. H. Sothern has just purchased
the American rights to Theodore Burt
Sayre's latest play, four-act costume
comedy. The part to be played by Mr..
Sothern is that of an English noble
man who was as famous for his wit
and poetry as for his love of romance
and adventure. The love story of this
eccentric peer forms the basis of the
play, which is said to have strong
emotional interest, although comedy
predominates. In addition to pur-
chasing the play, Mr.. Sothern has COM
missioned Mr.. Sayre to write for him
a romantic drama which is to be COM
pleted by next September.

Statement OF Morgan-Definite Action
Must be Tuken-America Is to Take

New York, April IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Senator John l.. Morgan of Alabama, a
leading member OF the foreign relations
committee, When asked for an expression
ON the Samoan problem, said
There is but one permanent solution
Of the Samoan question That Is II parti-
ton of the islands by the three great
powers which have, by common desire,
Just formed commission TO reconcile the
differences betw cen themselves and the
native Samoans.

Germany will, in my Judgment, act most
wisely ii they at once proceed to settle

temporizing policy toward these warllke
and bloodthirsty savages.
The Fate of the Indian.
"Whatever sentiment We may entertain
for the rights OF the SaInoans, the aroi-
trary law OF nature which prevents an IN
congruous assimilation OF people who viii
ever be an insurmountaole barrier to
peace, progress and civilization as long as
governmental control Is Dy the weaker
class.
The Samoan question, in view of the
erident intentions of the United States,
GTeat Britain and Germany, has lessons
to be learned from our course in the sub
iugation of Africa and in the fate OF the
Indian. These stubborn laws of nature
can not be changed, and it is better that
they be recognized at the outset OF the
work that is before the Samoan commits
sion and that the instructions Of the ma
tions represented therein be given accord
ingly.
America Should Lead.
"In the pending diplomacy on this ques-
ton the United States, with grace and
fairness, can take the initiative as she die
several years ago in the treaty arranged
with Malietoa. England and Germany
then lost no time in following our exam
pie and in securing the same recognition
accorded to us.
%The immediate purpose of the thre'
nations is to secure permanent coalins
stations upon the islands. Once establish

peaceably maintained under the existing
conditions of the natives. Until they ar,
completely under the control OF the thre'
nations, bloodshed will follow. l am thor

solution.

John SINNERS of Wisconsin AdjudGed
TO BE Insane.

John SINNERS, a white man, aged appar-
entity about fifty-five years, and whose
home is in Wisconsin, was today committed
to St. Elizabeth's Asylum, ii having been
decided by the police board of surgeons that
he is insane.
SINNERS called at the White House yes
terday and asked to see the President, but
was turned away. He then called on SAM
tary officer Frank and talked with him
garding some real fancied troubles, IN
which he blamed certain railroad companies
for taking his property, and after a time
left. Late yesterday afternoon he was no.
ticed to be acting in a peculiar manner on
the street and was taken into custody by
an officer and conveyed to the first precinct
station, where he was examined by the po-
lice physicians, with the result stated.
This is the second time SINNERS has Wis
tied Washington. About two years ago he
called on Mr.. Frank and, claiming to be
destitute, was furnished transportation
home. Yesterday Mr.. Frank who had
quickly recognized SINNERS as his former
visitor, questioned him about his going back
to Wisconsin. SINNERS refused emphat-
ically to go. and in justice to the commu-
nifty and the unfortunate man himself Mr..
Frank took steps to send him to the in
sane asylum. He has twice before been an
inmate of a similar institution once in
Wisconsin and once in Minnesota

Washington county, Wis, and a sister who
is postmistress of one of the towns In the

MUSLIN GARMENTS
DENoLvEs UPON LANDLORD.
InadmissibIc That Tenant Shall lie
Hold for Plumbing Rennirs

A decision has been rendered by the at
torney for the District, in which he holds
that it is inadmssible for a landlord to
avoid responsibility under the plumbing
regulations by STIMULATING in a lease that
the tenant shall make necessary changes in
plumbing The opinion has been approved
b. the Commissioners.
The decision was the result Of a reference
to the attorney by the Commissioners of a
communication from Messrs Thos. d.
Fisher & Co, from which it appears the
firm leased premises 329 Missouri avenue
to Mary Floyd, it being agreed by the ten
ant, ii is claimed, that she would make all
necessary repairs, plumbing included, dur
ing the term of her lease. The inspector of
plumbing recently directed the making of
certain changes in the plumbing on the
premises, and the order was addressed 10
MeSSrS. Fisher q Co. The firm, however,
after referring TO the agreement in the
lease, asked that the tenant make the re-
quired repairs.
The fact is" wrote Messrs. Fisher q
Co, that it has developed into rather a
sharp practice upon the part Of some ten
ants to enter into their leases agreeing TO
do all that may be necessary TO the prem
Uses, and then to either directly or iudi-
recJly call in the inspector of plumbing or
the health officer to try To eVade, under the
orders of these officials, the very work
which they have agreed to perform Ne
have some properties in our charge. which
are under quite long leases, where build
irgs have been erected by the lessee. which
are to revert to the owner Of the fee at
the end, usually. of a very long term OF
years. If the views of the inspector OF
plumbing are TO govern, the owner of the
fee of the land, even in this connection.
would be called upon to keep premises in
repair which only revert to him at a date
in the future and which he has no right to
enter, but should he attempt to do 50,
would clearly be a treSpaSser."
The matter was submitted TO the attOr-
ney for the District, who, in rendering his
opinion, said:
In my judgment the plumbing regula-
items must govern, and it is inaimiSsihle
for landlord to avoid the plumbing regu-
lations by STIMULATING in his lease that the
tenant shall make necessary changes in
plumbing. when the law says that he shall
do it. If the objection made 10y Messrs.
souri, avenue is required TO make the neces-
sary changes in the plumbing is well taken,
then a landlord may defeat the plumbing
regulations by renting mis- premises To an
irresponsible tenant, with a stipulation
that he, and not the landlord, should OBJ
serve the plumbing regulations
CAPTAIN Beach, the Engineer Commits
sioner, in indorsing this opinion, SAID;
''All leases have to be made subject 10
the law and if the law requires the owner
or agent to make the repairs, the lease
STIMULATING contrary action as an agree
ment between private parties, Is not sum-
Gent to nulify the law in regard 10 theIn
1t seems to me that the present practice is
the only safe and reliable one for the DIS
trict to pursue"

who was killed in the battle in the Philip
pines about the LIST of April Mr.. j. B. Fay

latter learning that Mr.. Fay came from
Maryland told him he was also native of
this state having been born near Beltsville
in Prince Georges county, where he still
owned some land, and where some of his
relatives resided. Mr.. Fay received the
impression that Preacher was an assumed
name.
A Rapid City. S. D.. paper in noticing
Preachers death in battle. published a hong
article about him, in which it was said he

around BeltSvtlls OF this vicinity.
