Hay ON TIE Hull BILL.

Mr.. Hay in his speech i'm the House
Yesterday I'm opposition TO the Hun OH

IN the foundation Of the objections 10
that measure and exposed thoroughly the
dangers to our institutions involved ln IT,
The Virginia congressman made II pam
that the bill was based upon the assump-
ton that the Imperial policy would Cd
tain. and by implication showed thdt us
massage would bolster mp the cause Oh
imperialism-that is 10 say. that Imperial
ism would be found necessary in order 10
employ the army raised by the bill. Next
ne demonstrated that if the bill did not
contemplate the permanent annexation
of the Philippines. the big standing army
IL proposed. and which would carry the
cost Of our military establishment up 10
10000. 900 per annum. would be entirely
too large. Then Mr.. Hay asked the ques-
ton. How are we going 10 raise a
standing army of 10000 men?' and FOL
lowed that question with statement
touching the difficulties the United states
encountered during both the civil wal
and the Spdlll6i-<hiIi'iiN"' W."
matter OF increasing the regular army
Mr.. Hay well said that his question was
q serious one, especially since II Woui'
appear. Judging from experience. that inc
answer he suggested was about the only
satisfactory answer that could be given
That answer was that the only methoC
by which we could raise such Iars'
army would be CONSUMPTION. In othe

4 CASE OF MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

tifcation of sixteen Witnesses.

CINCINSATI. June 2l.-Edward H. Pittman,
aged scion OF noble family. lanRuishing in
prison at the Cincinnati workhouse. is an in
nocent man. Newspapers. detectives. the Po-
lics Department and Police Judge thought
him guilty. Sixteen witnesses identified him
as man who had secured money from them
by rractcng trick game. Every effort
was made in the police court by excellent
attorneys and acting Police Judge Franks to
see il the sixteen women who identified Pitt
man could not be mistaken. They were posi-
tive. Judge Franks reset the case and heard
It at length. to give the prisoner every possible
chance, but the detectives secured more wit
nesscs. and Pittman's efforts to prove his
innocence were futile. Every witness in
sisted that no could speak German. Pittman
insisted that he could not. and every artifce
was used to trip him into betraying knowl-
edge OF the German language. Pt,man al
wavs said that he could not understand the
language. He was set down as a smart
crook" and his picture was placed in the
Rogues' Gallery.
To-day two detectives were on n street cor
ner and ono OF them said. :" Hello. there goes
Pittman's twin brother down Central avenue.
as sure as You're alive" and both detectives
started down the marble stairway after the
man. He attempted to escape. but was over
taken Under his arm the man carried bundle.

detectives trapped him into speaking the Ian

HENT LYNCHING BY HIMSELF.
McHugh Slipped Into Jail and Shot .
Negro Murderer Dead.

NEW ORLEANS. La. june 21.-Lous Guidry.
the negro desperate Of st. Mary. was killed
yesterday in the st. Mary's parish jail. at
Franklin. by white man named McHugh.
Gudry was charged with three murders. He
first killed Constable Crossia OF Berwick. who
tried to arrest him. and then Constable Ber-
nauer OF Patterson and a negro who also tried
to capture him. Surrounded by n mob in tho
swamp he escaped and was subsequently cap
tured in tho neighboring parish Of Iberia and
confined in the parish Jail. AS threats had
been made OF lynching Guidry Judge Allen in
terfered to prevent this and assured the people
from the bench that the prisoner would be
tried and d0alt with as the law provided. and
that there would be no unnecessary delay In
bringing tho prisoner to trial
As IA result all ideas OF lyuching were aban-
doned and the Judge was strongly supported
in the position he took. McHugh. however,
got into the IaiI bya trick, and mortay shot
used for murderers. McHugh was at once ar
rested and is now locked up In jail, A very
bitter feeling prevails against him for his muir
derous action after tine authorties had sue
ceeded in preventing lynching. and he Is likely
to be punished severely for the murder.

KAISER Would Not SEE MR. mons.
But His visit to Berlin in the Interests OF
Arbitration Was Not Fruitless.


LONDON. June 22.-The Hague correspond
ent OF the Daily Np,rs says that Mr.. Hollis OF
the American delegation interviewed. during
his visit to Berlin, Chancellor Won Hohenlohe
and Herr Won Duelow. Minister Of Foreign Az
fairs The reason he did not see Emperor
William was not because OF the latter's alb
sence as lie could easily have been reached by
rail- but because his Majesty. who appears to
have assented to an interview, objected. on
second thought. to discussing matters with
anybody below the rank OF first delegate, who
in this case would have been Ambassador
Whitc.
Mr.. Hollis wishes to emphasize the statement
that he was not concerned in defending in the
remotest manner any but American interests.
Ambassador White would have undertaken
the mission to Berlin II he had been able to
leave The Hague.
The correspondent intimates that II was
coincidence that DR.. Zorn OF the German dele
cation and Mr.. Hollis travelled together to Ber-
lin. and says there was no sort Of partnership
between them. Both were animated by common
anxiety for the success OF the conference. but
Mr.. Hollis role was that OF an American repre-
sentative trying to carry out an American deal.

The German delegates have not received

8. f. Morss. the Indianapolis Editor, Gives
His Party Some Advice.

INDIANAPOLIS. June 2l.-There is much con-
corn here among frea silver Democrats over
the announcement by s. Z. Morss. editor OF the
Sentinel in an interview. that the party must
not make free silver an issue In 1900 He
speaks OF adopting platform against trusts
and against expansion but declares that II
free silver Is made the dominant issue the
party will be defeated. as in 1895. Mr.. Morss
said:
Tine financial declaration OF 1905 will be
reiterated but it will not and should not form
the dominant issue. II 1t does we cannot win.
say that as a bimetallist. am a silver man.
but believe we can do nothing with the cur
rency question for some time to come. The
Republicans will control the Senate. practi-
cally. for the next six years. so there is no hope
OF any silver Legislation in that time. SO long
as these conditions prevail. therefore. | don't
see anyt hing 10 be gained by making leading
issue OF the silver question.
with these--anti- trust, anti-milit litarism and
expansion and tariff reform-as the leading
issues We can go into the campaign next year
with bright hopes. ] believe tho prospects for
Democratic success were never brighter With
such planks as these we will have a platform
that appeals to the people at large
Many OF the Democrats are dissenting from
free silver organ in opposition to the sentinel.
OF which Morss is both editor and proprietor.
Mr.. Morss was Consul General to Paris under
the Cleveland Administration. and prior to the
convention OF 1896 his paper leaned strongly
toward the gold standard.
