position. This publication reports a total of 143 sewage plants in operation 1 in the United States or Canada, about 1 12O of them having been either built
 or projected in the last twelve years. It says that it is probable that as soon as the advantages of irrigation and fl- tration are more fully known, a num- Der of chemical purification plants will be changed to either the irriga- tion or filtration system, or, even without a complete change of plants, the eff1uents will be treated by either one or the other process. This is stated to be very likely in the case of a number of New York chemical plants.
 There are a number of cities and vil- lages in the east, the report empha- sizes, where crude sewage is dis charged into ponds lakes and running streams, which are now or are likely to be in the future the source of water supplies In the end the sewage of all which will require purifcation and all town authorities are advised that with other conditions equal the cost of the land purifcation process ordinarily Is less than that Of chemi> calls.

president. It is admitted by his own cabinet officials that he has formed no definite idea of what the perma- nent policy of this country ought to be in the east. He is leaving the ques- tion to time. The nearest approach to an ubterance of a positive character was in the Atlanta speech of the pres ident, when he asked, ''Who will pull the flag down?' That can be inter preted any way, and at the time cer- tainly meant to question whether Americans favored leaving the isl- ands in disgrace. The president will doubtless shape this issue according to the developments in the Philip pines.

 among the independents of Cuba will greatly aid the annexationists' work. and thousands who are now afraid to declare themselves will flock to their standard as soon as assured that un- der United States protection they will be allowed to vote as they please. ID regard to the efforts by the league to promote the study of the English Ian guage in Cuba, MT. McDowel1 says that some time ago General Wilson, commanding the department of Ma tanzas and Santa Clara, had interest ed himself in aiding the institute for higher education in Matanzas to ob tain a library of American books Dr. Edwardo DiaZ, the director of the iD> stitute, prepared list of about 800 books and sent it to tnls country. An drew Carnegie heard of this and SUD- piled the books.
 On April 29, continued MT. Me Dowell, General Wilson wrote to the league inclosing another list of 45O books, which he says would be very acceptable, and expressed the hope that the league will find some people who will be willing to supply these books.

MARCHES PAINTINGS.
Doubts as to Existence of Valuable
 Collection in New Orleans.

London, May 12.-The story of the
 valuable collection of paintings owned
 by a negro named Marcel, a curiosity shop keeper of New Orleans, which, it is said, includes examples by Reubens, Corregio, Raphael, Claude Lorraine, Turner and other well known paint CTS, is much discussed in London, but art circles are generally incredulous.
 An official of the National Art Gal lery, when questioned on the subject, treated it amusedly. He said he re- ceived offers of new painting by Raphael three times a week.
 Christies, the famous art dealers discussed the matter disinterestedly but were entirely skeptica1, principal 1y regarding the price, s60O,O0O, which is said to have been agreed to be paid 'by an agent of George Gould for nine teen of the rictures. This price, the Christies thought, was enormous
 Duveen Brothers, who are also art dealers, thought 1t quite likely that the paintings were genuine If so they were worth much more than s600,000 Some of the pictures have been twice offered to them, but they declined to entertain the offer because of the irregular manner in which it was brought to their notice. They had so many stolen works of art of fered to them from New York that they were compelled to be most care ful in their purchases. They did not. however, imply that the present transaction was not entirely regular.

A copy Of a set of handsomely framed resolutions was received today from the National Association of Post Office Clerks signed by Otto F. Weis. chair man legislative committee, and ad- dressed to MT. Heath, saying:
 "The sum of s75,O0O to pay substi- tute clerks employed while the regular postal clerks in first or second-c1ass post offices were absent on vacation, generously allowed in the appropria- tiion made by congress for the post office department, is believed to have been allowed because recommended by you and approved of by the post master general in the last annual re- port made for the postal service.
 Your circular letter of March 10, 1899, instructing postmasters interest ed that they must arrange for granting vacation time as intended by the ac. of October 1, 1890, deciding that Sum days and holidays must not be in- cluded in the fifteen days annual leave, made it possible for clerks in first and second-class post offices to feel assured that they would be given the benefit of the vacation period al lowed them by law.
 "On behalf of the clerks represented by the National Association of Post Office Clerks, please accept the thanks of the postal employees who have been so substantially benefited by your and decision"

Iowa Falls, Ia., May 12.-Mrs. L. H. Baskerville committed suicide here Thursday evening by hanging. She had just been discharged from tha asylum at Independence.
 The mysterious death of J. P. Doty with two companions in the big tim Der near Astoria, Oregon, is of pe2u- liar interest in this section, where Doty was employed just previous to going west. He was employed by the promoters of the C., I. & D. railroad extension and was submitting esti- mates on the cost of construction of the grade from Alden to Britt. Ills home was in Warren, Pa, and he was well known over the country as a civil engineer.

LAUGHLIN EXPLAINS.
How the Flag Is a Symbol of Tyranny
 and Butchery.

Chicago, May 12--Professor Laugh lin of the Chicago university, one of the speakers at the 'anti-expansion- ist' meeting in this city a week ago last Sunday, has sent to the Times Herald a reply to the editorial criti- cisms Of a portion of his remarks, He says:
 The phrase used in my speech, there Gin the Philippines) the flag is a symbol of tyranny and butchery,' has caused more or less criticism through out the country. I used the word tyranny because the flag there is wrongly made to represent ar un- American policy of conquest for the subjugation of an inferior race, against their will, by a great and powerful na- tion.
 T said 'butchery' because the indis- criminate slaughter of natives by of fensive military operations in war of subjugation can be called by TO other name. l am not attac&ing the flag, but a pOlicy-a policy which makes our honored flag stand in the Philippines for conquest and su5ju- gation.
 T am more truly loyal to the flag in demanding that it should be used only as a symbol of liberty than those who are willing to see the flag wave as an emblem Of expansion and con quest.

i London, May 12-An important
 stage in the rituahstic controversy opened today with the Right Hon. and
 Mist Rev. Frederick Temple, arch bishop of Canterbury and primate of all England, the Right Hon. and Most
 Rev. William Dalrymple MacLegan,
 archbishop of York, sitting as self
 constituted tribunal, began hearing of the charges against 'dhe Rev. Henry Westall, vicar Of St. CUthberts Phil beach Gardens of ceremonial use of incense and lights, and the Rev. Ed ward Ram, vicar of the Church of St. Jchn. Tihberhill, Norwich, on the charge of ceremonial use of incense.
 Messrs. Westall and Ram will have the assistance in the ecclesiastical trial of a number of experts on the question of the ritual, including the Rev. R. R. Percival, rector of the church of the Evangelists of Phiiadl5t- phia The decision of the archbishops will not be Binding, except as to the conscience upon any one, nor will it be enforcible, but naturally id will have immense moral weight. The chief purpose of this archepiscopal in quiry is to avoid reference to the sec ular courts.

ORDERED HIS HORSES KILLED
Peculiar Clause in Will of Dr. Wardie
 a Montreal Sportsman.

Montreal, May 12.-Three weeks ago
 Dr. Wardie, well known young vet
 erinary surgeon and sportsman. died rather suddenly at the age of 3S He was the owner of several well known steeplechasers, among them Bushbolt, winner of the Herald cup at Belair track; Felix, which he purchased from J. E. Seagram, M. P, of Waterloo. Ont, and Billy Mckinley. Today these three animals lie dead, killed at the request of their late owner. Dr. Wardle's will contained this clause:
 "It is my wish and desire that week after my death my three horses, Billy Mckinley, Bushbolt and Felix, shall be put to death in the most pain less manner possible. This is my de- sire, because I would be much grieved should the animals, after the affec- tion and the care have had for them, fall into the hands of people who would treat them cruelty or make them work or do anything which would make them suffer-
 Confronted by this unusual clause in the will, the executors had no alterna- tive but to obey, and so the other day the three valuable animals were taken out of the club house of the Montreal Hunt club, behind Mount Royal, and there killed, each in his turn, hE shot from a revolver in the hands Of pr. Ernest Thurston. It is said that the horse Billy Mckinley refused to eat from the time he missed his late master.

A s..e aumor.

A rumor was in circulation this
week to the effect that the Busi-
ness Mems Association, of this
city, had sent in petition TO the
Santa Fe officials at Topeka ask
ing them to put quietus on the
employees excursion to Colorado
Springs, which takes place today.
Mr.. Mendclson, president OF the
association, denounces the rumor
as false and untrue in every par
,icular, and says tina, such "a
statement could only emanaie
from The diseased brain OF mis-
chief maker with the only purpose
OF causing an estrangement OF the
friendly relations now existing be-
tween the Santa Fe officials and
the merchants.
A committee from the shops
waited upon the merchants
Wednesday night, TO interview
them in regard 10 the matter, and
did not in single instance fird a
merchant who had ever heard OF
such petition being circulated.
A declaration to this effect was
signed by every merchant in town
and posted as bulletin IN the
local shops Thursday. 1t read as
follows:
1--WE, the business men OF La
unta offer to any man sIoo II they
will find our names signed TO any
petition trying 10 interfere with
the Santa Fe employees excur-
sion."
The services of the fool killer
might be utilized hereabouts TO
despatch a few individuals who
have made an effort to engender
bad feeling between the merchants
and the railroad employees. The
merchants OF La unta should be
credited with being possessed OF
at least an ordinary amount OF COM
mon sense. The idea OF their tax.
ing concerted action in such mat
ter is simply preposterons.
