JUDGE DAY GRATIFIED.
He Talks Enthusiastically of the
Peace Treaty Ratification.

Palm Beach Fla, Feb. Judge Day.
Chairman of the Peace Commission, who Is
here resting after his work in Paris, was
first informed of the ratification OF the
Treaty by a correspondent just as he was
coming ashore from fishing trip. He
said:
al am very much gratifed. I have eX-
pected all along that the Treaty would be
ratified though 1 did not think the result
would be so close. The news OF the fight
ing in the Philippines shows that the rati-
fication came none too soon. II the action
had been sooner | think the bloodshed
might have been avoided, but now that this
country has the unquestioned right to gov
ern the islands. do not believe the war
will last long.
He inquired how several Senators voted
on the Treaty and seemed especially in-
terested in Senators Wellington and Jones
of Nevada. He thought the Filipinos would
never have gained the courage to attack
the American lines had il not been for the
delay in the ratification OF the Treaty and
ne believed that the attack of Saturday
was planned in order, il possible. to show
the Americans that the Filipinos would not
submit to their government. The battle.
however, il appeared 10 him, should have
the opposite result as showing how the
islanders were bound to rush into q war
without adequate cause.
Judge Day believes that the American
forces now in the Philippines are amply
sufficient to conquer Aguinaldo's entire
army and that there will not b. much fight
ing the natives only need to be shown
that America means business and is in
earnest in taking over the islands.

PIRATES ROB A STEAMER.
Kill the Captain and Take the Pas
sengers' NaIuables.

Seattle, Wash. Feb. "A gang of pi-
rates boarded the river steamer Chung
On, at Wuchow. as passengers on a re-
cent trip to Canton. and at Do Sing sew
eral more came on board. They had re-
volvers and ammunition concealed in
earthen jars which they said contained
food.
When the steamer was nearing Chat
Parly the pirates broke their jars and Sc
cured the arms. The Chinese captain got
one of the revolvers and amid a volley of
bullets retreated into the pilot house.
He was leaning out of the window wait
ing for the pirates TO appear when one
sneaked around the corner of the pilot
house, grabbed the pistol and wounded him.
Then the gang took the captain on deck
and emptied six chambers of revolver
into his breast, after which they cut OFF
two fingers and two toes.
Two of the crew were wounded.
The pirates then went through the pas
sengers, taking all valuables and even
stripping their victims of the clothes they
were wearing. They left the steamer at
So kee.
The passengers were afraid to go on to
Canton and the steamer put into three
ports before police could be found who
dared to take up the chase.

LIQUOR DEALERS COMBINE.
Will Try to Drive the whisky Trust
From New York.

New York. Dec. IA new movement
against the Liquor Trust is on foot 1t is a
local effort. but it promises. TO be of large
proportions. 1t is fathered by several of
the leading wholesale liquor dealers in New
York, and their plans are nearly perfected.
The new movement is a result of the
recent incorporation under the laws of
New Jersey of the Whisky Trust, with a
capital stock of s33, 600, 900. The New York
dealers felt that unless some decisive
stroke was made the new company would
injure them, and they started out for a
little concerted action themselves
The prime movers in the Wine and Spirit
Trading Company. as the new corporation
is to be called, are said to be Henry Luy-
ties, of Luyties Brothers and director in
the Germania Bank: Henry Kroeger. of

The new scheme has been discussed by
those interested in it for about two weeks
ineir movements nave been secret, and as
yet the plans have not been fully matured
So far the efforts that have been made
have been directed toward enlisting as
many companies in the proposed fight with
I the Whisky Trust as possible.
1t is said that arrangements have been
perfected by which the entire stock and
good will OF the following Wholesale liquor
traders are to pass under the immediate
control of the new company; Lemcke &
Rossiter, of No. 204 Fulton Street; J. H.
w. Meyer & Co.. of Vesey Street. and
/ Henry Luyties Brothers, North William
Street. Other large dealers are also con-
siderinS the proposition.
The new company will have a capital
stock of only $1,000, 600. Shares will be
sold TO liquor dealers. in amounts varying
from $500 to S2.5O0, these being respective
ly the minimum and maximum amounts of
stock that Will be sold to one person o.
corporation.
The company will attempt to shut the
/ Whisky Trust out of New York city. 1t
will erect its own distillery. and will pur-
sue a thoroughly aggressive policy within
its own territory.

Tempest.
New York Feb. THE voyage of the

Conclusion of the Trial.
The trial by court martial lasted three
days and increased in dramatic intensity
until it was concluded. General Eagan
pleaded not guilty, with qualifications. ad-
hitting that he used the language at
tributed to him, and his attorney. MIR. A.
S. Worthington, informed the court that
the defendant proposed to take refuge IN
the Presidents guarantee of absolute i'm
munity from punishment TO witnesses ap-
pearing before the Alger Relief Commis-
sion. This plan of defence was pursued
until subordinated to one OF pleading
the baby act
Members of the Alger Commission were
examined, the testimony of General Miles
before the board was read and on the sec
ond day General Eagan himself took the
stand. The energies of the defence were
directed then to show that uncomfortable
emotion, caused by the charges made
against him, were responsible for his con-
duct.
In making his statement to the court
Genreal Eagan broke down number oil
times. Other witnesses for the defence
were examined on the second day. and on
the third day the Secretary of War went
on the stand.
After he had testified the defence intro
duced evidence tending to show that dur
ing the last stages OF the beef controversy
General Eagan was in a mental condition
bordering closely upon insanity.
The court concluded its labors on Fri
day, January 2S. It's findings were guilty
The sentence was dismissal from the army
The findings and sentence were immed-
lately communicated to the President and
yesterday were sent by him to the Seere-
tary of War, with the order approving
the findings, but committing the sentence
TO suspension of six years on full pay, al
the expiration of which time General
Eagan will go on the retired list.

ELECTRICITY FOR THE 81" ROAD
New Motive Power Definitely De-
rided l'non.


New York. Feb. 7.-George J. Gould an
nounced last night that the Manhattan
Elevated Railway Company has decided to
install electricity as the motive power for
the entire system, and to issue SIS. 600. 900
of additional stock TO meet this expendi
ture.
President Gould. after detailing the ad-
vantages of electricity and the work OF the
company in examining the subject, says:
''The saving in operating expenses alone
will he more than 81 900 900. which with
other economies possible, is sufficient to
pay per cent on the new capital which it
is proposed to the stockholders to put into
the elevated roads. and per cent addi-
tional ON the present capital in other
words to put the whole property on a
sound per cent basis
Mr.. Gould said this result would be ac-
complished even IL the road should not add
an additional passenger to the present
traffic.
He then said:
There is no question in the minds of the
management that the new motive power
will add largely to our traffic. The increase
in speed will be from IS to is per cent. AMI
the increase in capacity of our trains dur
ing rush hours will be 20 per cent, enab-
ling the company to handle its traffic in
much better shape.
During those hours of the day when
traffic is light our trains now run on some
of the lines on a six-minute headway.
The application of electricity will enable
us to run cars without any additional ex-
pense on headway OF a minute and
half. so that persons who will not now
risk a wait of four or five minutes will be
induced by the rapid and frequent service
to patronize our lines
Mr.. Gould said in conclusion:
Our cars, stations, and stairways will
be better lighted and 1t will be perfectly
feasible TO install elevators at important
stations to carry our patrons up and down.
Another possibility that the introduc-
tiOn of electricity will give to the public
will be the use OF open cars in the sum
mer time. There will be no smoke and
cinders to annoy passengers If open cars
are used on the structure.
The issue of the $lS 000, 600 additional
stock, which will be offered to our stock
holders at par. will provide not only for
the substition of electric motive power, but
for new plant and equipment. the mod
ernizing Of all its facilities for the COM
fort and convenience OF the public, thereby
increasing the efficiency and economy of its
service, as well as the net eayning capacity
OF the system. Any surplus from the SIS
100000 can be used by the company for
the enlargement and Improvement of its
property"
