| ITALIANS
GOT JUSTICE. "
Magistrate Daley Mulcted
Seven TO the Tune of
5000, and Got
S50.05 in Fees.

Magistrate Daley last night dispensed
"justice' which benefited himself y,rJ
materially. Some time ago DUmricK
Bernardo an Italian wont to A berdeen Nd.
and rented Il small hut which he rented tt
eight other ITALIANS. In the hut was Il
stove which cost sS 80 and the use of this
Stove was rch Cd To the Italians with the
hut Each man was to pay $l,25 il month
for tho use OF the hut and stovo
On December 12 Bernardo left the place,
aud also left tho s'uve. On January II he
came back and collected the rent from the
mon, according to their testimony, and
then went away again, leaving the stove
as before. In the meantime the owner OF
the hut cano md collected tho rent from
the Italians ii % -ond time, he not having
received tbs amount previously collected.
Bernardo came tn this city and brought
suit again 7 Of the Italians before Justice
Of the .Peace Daley for rent for The stove
which ho had left in the hut. Suit was
ployed by the Phi ladelphia. Wilmington
and Baltimore Railroad Company, which
has it's headquarters hero.
Horace G. Knowles defended tho men
Bernardo testified TO the men owing rent
for the stove, aud the other men testified
to the statement Of affairs given. After
which the magistrate mulCted each OF the
seven men ~ 20 lOr me use OF tho Stove IOi
three months and The costs in tho case
which amounted TO 81. l5 per man.
These figures speak for themselves.
Seven men AZ rs makes total of
S?6 rs which Bernardo received for the
use of al $50 stove which he couldn't
bring away with him.
The costs at $7l5 for each o. the seven
meR carries tho total up to $50 U5 which
MAGISTRATE Daley received for dispensing
Delaware Justice to residents oi Mary
land.
There was no appeal as the amount in
vo!yed in zach case was less than IS.
Each of tho seven Italians stood to pay
SO 90 in cold cash, besides losing days
work aud transportation from A berdeen,
Md, to Il Wilmington justice mill
Tie comparative figures are certainly
odd.
A man retains his proprietary right in
n stove which has for thrus months Eesn
left on another mans property. and 1t
cost each of seven men $lO.yJ and days
work to llso thai IS 30 stove.
The amount recovered by tho plaintiff
Is s25.2o; the amount to the ma gistrate
is $jo Vs. OF nearly twice the amount in-
yulyeu.

SENATOR FOSTER ON LUMBER.
He Thinks tho Lunbermen Would Fa-
yor n Reduced Tariff

vor Reduced Tariff.
Tacoma, Wash. April 4.--Unitcl
States Senator Addison G. Foster, after
spending several weeks investigating in
the east and middle west the attitude Of
the joint high commission on the lum-
ber and coal tariffs and the Alaska
boundary question, has returned to his
home in this city. He says:
81 am of the opinion that the removal
Of the duty on lumber is one Of the most
important concessions sought by Eng
land. In fact, while the desired port of
entry to the northern gold fields is much
in demand among Canadians and En-
glshmen, | rather incline TO the opinion
that a satisfactory adjustment of the
lumber and coal schedules are equally,
If not more so, in demand. On my way
west | consulted with various senators
and congressman on the subject and
find, all things considered, that our lum-
Der people in all parts of the United
States are inclined to yield little in this
matter, provided the tariff on lnmbee
and coal also. if possible, can be made Il
part of the treaty. laundering is q
great industry. and we could not for
moment consider the proposition of re-
moving the tariff altogether.
'The lumbermen as rule would will
ingly make q reduction on the tariff
from So to SLIGO per 1000, provided
that rates were made part of the treaty
and thereby became permanent as long
as the treaty lasts. This would con-
stitute reduction of 20 per cent in
the lumber tariff as now in force"

Savannah, Ca, April Ain tho state
Baptist convention yesterday George
HITLER, cx-mayor Of Atlanta, and for

presented report from the committee
on crime and lynchings. The judge gave
some startling figures upon the increase
Of crime. In the United States in 1896,
+" id. there were 10000 homicides. In
e. past year more homicides were COM
l'i:'"d in the United States than were

to aid in correcting this great evil.

yesterday, and Mayor Nichols and Sc

political parties.

COMMISSIONERS PROCLAMATION

VIII Be Sent Broadcast Through the
Philippines, and WIN Give Them
Practically a Choice between Sur

Manila, April "A cavalry recon-

five miles northeast. A sharp skifmish
followed. and resulted in the retreat o!
thc E'ilpinos.
Two heavy coast guns were discovered
by General MacArthur's men yesterday
buried in the streets Of Malolos.
The situation in the Philippines is now
clearly in American hal,ds. The Phil.
ippine commission has decided immcdi-
atcly to issue proclamation to the ma
tiyes. It will not contain single word
suggestive of Independence for the Fiji
pnos. but will compel thair complctn
subiection to the will Of the United
States.
The proclamation. which is to be sent
broadcast through the Philippines, will
be an eminently humane document, al
though it is said that it will give the
natives choice between surrender and,
practically, extinction.
So general has become the dcsertion
Of soldiers from Aguinaldo's standard,
and the number of those Fastening with
flags Of truce to the American lines for
amnesty is so great, that the Philippine
commission has decided that this is the
time to reason with the natives for
peace.
Indications are that Aguinaldo has
lost much of his hold upon the people,
and that it would require long time
for him to gather the ends of his scat.

The remarkable stories Of Filipino vic

Agulnaldo's stories have proved to be
so false that many of those who were

the so-called Filipino government will
collapse within short time.

/ GENERAL OTIS CONFIDENCE,
His Cheering Dispatch Pleases the Of
ficialS ut HYnsllinuInn.

hSi"iS At W
; Washington, April 4.--War department
officials were pleased by the cheering
dispatch from General Otis received yes.
terday. 1t contains great deal of on
Couragement to them. and those who
know General Otis we'll say he t. Hot
a man to take q rosentc view OF ti,a ai,.
Nation unless there is renson f,.' il. It
Is argued at the department that tho
E'ilipinos have never been used to th.
kind of warfare that the Americans
have given them, and for that reason
they are now aware that it will be i'm.
possible for them to accomplish any
patch follows:
"Present indications denote insurgent
government in perilous condition; its
army defeated. discouraged and scat
tered. Insurgents returning to their
homes in cities and villages between hero
and points north of Malolos. which our
reconnoitering parties have reached, and
desire protection of Americans. News
from Fisayan Island more encouraging
every day"
' While there is disappointment because
the movement for the capture of a large
force of the Filipinos was not successful
1t is believed the pressing of the insur-
gents steadily forward toward the north,
capturing their capital and driving them
from place to place has had very dis
couraglng effect upon the natives who
have been following Aguinaldo. 1t is
evident by the reference which General
pis makes to accommodating parties
that lie is having the country thoroughly
covered, and that the information which
they are giving him is the basis Of the
dispatch received yesterday. 1t is be-
iieyed that desertions will soon depletc
the army of Aguinaldo to little or moth
ing. 1t would not take long for an
army Of the kind he has gathered to
melt away and disappear in the noun
tans and jungles of Luzon.
That portion of the dispatch relating
t. the Visayans refers to the opera tons
Of which lloilo is the base. The group
includes Panay, Biho, Cebu, Negros and
others of less importance in the same
vicinity. The rebellion against United
States authority was not very serious
in these islands. being stirred up by
emissaries of Aguinaldo at Iloio. The
constant defeat of Aguinaldo's forces
north of Manila has no doubt had Il de-
pressing effect upon other insurrecton-
lists.
