MISREPRESENTATION AT pRETop,,
consul Hollis May BE Transferred
FrOm Lorenzo Maruucz

Mr.. Macrum, the United States consul at
Pretoria, Is renewing his appeals to the
State Department to be allowed to leave
his post, and it begins to appear that he is
apt to quit without permission if not re-
lteved promptly. Realizing this possibility
and the pressing necessity OF having some
energetic and willing representative of the
United States at Pretoria from now on to
look after the important American inter-
ests in the Transvaal, as well as to carry
out our obligation to care for the welfare of
British citizens therein, the State Depart
ment is striving to find some consular Of
foer near by Pretoria who will undertake
to relieve Mr.. Macrum. Probably Mr.. Hol-
lis, United States consul at Lorenzo Mar
queZ, Portuguese East Africa, will be asked
10 undertake that important charge, and as
Mr.. Hollis has an established reputation in
the State Department for courage and en-
ergy. even TO degree that at one time in
volved him in trouble with the Portuguese
authorities it is believed that he would be
the right man for the place. in view of the
exciting times that may be impending over
Pretoria.

Mr., HANNA MAY DECLINE
Ohio Senator Has No Desire to MANAGE
Next Campaign.
If His Health VIII Permit He May
Take Charge of the
Finances,

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 1-Con-
oernins the reports which have been in cir
oulation for several weeks past to the ef-
feet that Senator Hanna would not sue-
ceed himself as chairman Of the national
republican committee. it can be stated on
the authority of Mr.. Hanna's most tnti-
mate friends that he has no desire to
manage another campaign, and that unless
very strong pressure is brought to bear
upon him he will, in all probability, decline
to do so.
Notwithstanding the published state
ments that many leading republicans
throughout the country are opposed to Mr..
Hanna's reappointment chairman of the
national committee, 1t is known that he is
almost daily receiving from Influential
party leaders, representing practically all
sections of the country, letters to the ef-
feet that he has their fullest confidence and
support, and urging that he is the strong
est man available for the place.
Mr.. Hannas closest friends, and indeed
the members of his own family, believe
however, that the condition of his health is
such that he should not under any oir-
cumstanceS assume the responsibility of
managing another presidential campaign.
1t has been suggested that should Mr..
Hanna decide not to accept a reappoint-
ment as chairman that he be made mem
Der of the executive committee, having
personal charge of the campaign finances,
This would. 1t is pointed out, relieve Mr..
Hanna of the arduous duties devolving
upon him as chairman, and at the same
time give the national committee the bene-
TT of mis- experience and marked success
in raising campaign funds.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS.
Mr.. Moody Thinks That There Should
He Two.

On the meeting of Congress resolution
will be introduced in the House providing
for an amendment Of the Constitution in
accordance with the new conditions arising
from the acquisition of island territory
Two amendments will be proposed one
modifying the fourteenth amendment. rela-
tive to citizenship, and one with reference
to the uniformity of revenue laws.
Mr.. Moody, who is giving especial atten-
ton to this subject, says that 1t should be
obvious that there will have to be some
discrimination affecting the natives of the
Philippine Islands with reference to citizen
ship, and also as to revenue laws. Under
the Interpretation of the fourteenth amend
ment by the Supreme Court, he says, per-
sons hereafter born u the Philippines
would be entitled to full citizenship of the
United States, with all the rights and priv
ileges enjoyed by other American citizens
He regards it as evident that present con-
ditions do not admit of the extension of
such rights to a people conditioned as the
Filipinos are. He thinks it obvious also
that the revenue laws uniform within the
borders of the United States cannot be
suited to conditions in the Philippines, and
that, therefore. the Constitution should be
amended so as to meet the situation.

he was on recruiting service and then
served with his regiment in Texas until
April. 1898 After short service at New
Orleans he accompanied his regiment to the
with credit up to the time of his death In
action with the Filipinos, in central Panay.
Becoming Amerfcanixed.
According to recent advices from the
Philippines one of the most notable things
in connection with the American occupa-
ton of the island is the cheerfulness with
which the Spaniards who remained there
have accepted the situation. The Spanish
American war left them in a somewhat
peculiar position. but instead of repining
they studied what was best for them to do.
Since peace was declared, many of these
Spanish residents in the Philippines have
learned the English language, and have
become more or less familiar with the po-
litical institutions of the United States.
They are AmericaniZing themselves to the
best Of their ability, and 1t is believed that
their acquiescence in the new order of
things Is loyal and sincere.
1t appears also that the Chinese residents
of the Philippines and the F'ilipinos them
selves are rapidly becoming AmeriCaIhzed,
rived from a knowledge of the English Ian
guage and American institutions.
Good Work of Native Scouts.
Word comes from the Philippines that the
two companies of Macabebe scouts, under
Captain Batson, are doing so well that 1t
has been decided to organize full battal-
ion of those natives. The Macabebes are
reported to be faithful. obedient and skill
full in the work of scouting. and make good
soldiers in fight. Under competent Amer
lean offlcsrs they are of great assistance to
the other troops, and the additional two
companies will be very useful In the coming
campal gn, In tracking the fleeing remnants
of Aguinaldo's demoralized army.

NEW TREATY DRAFTED.
The Samoan TrilateraI Convention
May BE Signed Tomorrow.

The British and German ambassadors had
several conferences with Secretary Hay to-
day relative to the treaty for the partition
of Samoa and 1t is understood the minor
questions of phraseology which remained
open were so reconciled that the way is
clear for signing the document probably to-
morrow. That there was no further ground
for difference was indicated by the drafting
of an entirely new treaty, in the German
and English texts, the chancellor of the
German embassy, Herr Kline, coming to
the State Department to compare the texts.
Several days ago it was about concluded to
have the signing occur in London, but the
more recent exchanges have settled that
the signing shall be in Washington.
The terms of the treaty are as heretofore
given in The Star, being contained in four
five articles, briefly establishing the ter
ritorial divisions of the Samoan group and
providing for the remuneration of old rights.
The document Is what is termed trilateral
treaty, being signed by the representatives
of the three governments, while the subsid-
larry treaty, signed in London was between
Great Britain and Germany only, and COW
cred their mutual rights and interests
growing out Of the territorial partition of
Samoa.

tions last summer, notably the appointment

GEN. WOODS DENIAL.
Not After the Surgeon Generalshfp or

Brig. Gen. Leonard Wood commanding
the military department of Santiago. who
is now in this city under special orders,
is very indignant over the report that he
is slated to succeed Surgeon General Stern
berg at the head of the medical department
of the army, and says that the report must
have been put in circulation 10y a personal
enemy. He declared that the report was
entirely without foundation. ami 10 make
his statement more emphatic he dictated
the following:
My relation with the medical depari ment
of the army so far as any further duty in
the medical corps is concerned is at an
end, and whatever duty l may perform in
the army in the future viii be solely in
the line"
Gen. Wood added that while his duties In
the medical department had been pleasant
he had found another field Of military duiy
much more to his liking. He therefore ia
tended to remain I'm the line of the army as
long as possible, but regardless OF his
future prospects he wanted it distinctly

peution and executive proclamations: by
Mr. Rawlins' own speech in the House in
december 1893; by the oath which Mr.
hooerts took In order to be permitted TO
register as voter in 1895, and by the fact
that he is now under indictment for unIaw-
ful cohabitation in this state.
In playing for democratic support for
Roberts, Senator Rawlins knew that he
dad not have the sympathy of the demo-
cratic committee of this state which fact
he carefully concealed from the public.
The senator knows perfectly well that the
non Mormon democrats of Utah are Just as
much opposed TO the admission Of Mr.. Rob
erts to the House as are the nom Mormon
republicans; that the non-Mormon demo-
Gratis who voted for him only because of
his solemn pledge that he could and would
vindicate himself of all charges of having
lived in polygamous relations since state
hood.
1t is true that some of the federal Off
ciais of this state who have been appointed
oy president Mckinley are polygamists. We
now have the proofs, and shall submit
them to the President so as to give him
the same chance to vindicate his admins
tratfon by their removal as the House
Will have to vlndicate itself when the proofs
against Roberts are submitted. We do not
blame the President for having been i'm
posed upon until he has had a chance TO
examine the evidence. Neither do we
blame representatives in Congress for not
rejecting Roberts before they have had a
chance to examine the evidence.
IT is not partisan question in any sense
OF the term. This is an opinion based upon
personal correspondence which has reached
beyond thirty thousand letters touching
every county in the United States since the
election of Roberts. 1t is clear that the
American people have made up their minds
that polygamst must not hold public Of
nee IN this country, and soon as the
President and Congress have the evidence
they will act in accordance with the man
dates of the people. Roberts play for posi-

the delay in the extradition of Michael j.

Meanwhile Sampson is being held by the
