MAzET IS STILL Al It |
The Water Department Said to
Be Run by Tammany.
PAY ROLLS ARE PADDED
Such Is the Testimony of Discharged
Foreman-How New York Real
Estate Is Assessed-The Wal
dort-Astoria's Figure.

New York, June S.-The session Of
the Mazet investigation committee to-
day was the dullest that has been held
and the oppressive heat endured
throughout the day made the testi-
mony lag unusually. The session open
ed with an attempt by Mr.. Moss to
refute the charges made by Captain
Price that Charles A. Moffat had been
railroaded to prison. Mr. Moss pro-
duced records showing that Moffat had
been convicted of putting his estate to
improper use.
After this the main portion of the
morning session was devoted to an ef-
fort to show that the water department
was run by Tammany Hall. Alonzo
Segar, discharged foreman in the
water works department, testified that
the payrolls were padded and that men
were given false positions when there
was no need for them.
Gear told of being prosecuted and Ill
timately forced out of his position. Tes-
tlmony was also introduced in an at
tempt to show that the desire of the
introduction Of the meters throughout
the buildings under the control of the
water department was the fact that the
son of the first assistant engineer was
luleTeSleu III the meters WHICH lue ue-
partment had in mind for use.
The afternoon session was devoted
largely to assessments made by the tax
commissioners and the tax department,
1t having developed through the testi-
mony of James F. Moore, a deputy tax
commissioner, that no special qualifica
tons were necessary to serve as real
estate expert in assessing property. He
had assessed the Valdorf-Astoria orig
inally at more than $6,000,000 but later
reduced the valuation to $5,O00,O00. An
appeal was then made by Mr. Boldt
and the commissioners concluded the
assessment was to oradical and reduced
it another 100000. The committee then
adjourned.

A Marauainc Band.

Washington, June s.-The conclusions
drawn by the war department officials
concerning the condition in the Philip
pines through the dispatch of General
Otis are that the insurgents are little
more than a marauding band which will
continually decrease when the men find
their life and liberty safe under Ameri-
can government. The people who are
coming into the American lines asking
protection are considered like those who
sought protection in the forts during the
early stages of American development in
the West. Nothing is said as to the IN
tention of Otis to continue active hostil-
tiles, but this matter is left wholly in his
discretion and he will, no doubt, fight or
rest as the circumstances determine.

MiSSOULA CITY COUNCIL.
The Higgins Avenue Improvement Up
for Discussion.

Missoula June S.-The city council met
In adjourned session tonight to consider
matters that were left unfinished at the
Monday night meeting. The special COM
mittee on the illustrated souvenir of Mis-
soula reported that they had arranged for
a write-up Of the city, with it's surround
ings, to be illustrated with is cuts of Sc
lected subjects, for which the city is to
pay $780, The report was adopted and
the clerk was instructed to prepare a
written agreement, to be signed by the
publishers of the book. The fire and wa
ter committee presented report on the
Fourth ward fire main, amending some
what the Herzog resolution. The amend
ment was adopted and the people of the
school section will soon have three effec-
tive hydrants.
The Higgins avenue improvement was
fully discussed, the property owners being
represented by large delegation Nearly
all the owners present expressed them
selves upon the matter and all but one or
two are agreed that some permanent i'm
provement Is absolutely necessary. There
is considerable objection to granite curb
ing on the avenue and this portion of
the committees recommendation will
probably be modified. 1t is also likely that
instead of stone or asphalt sidewalks, a
uniform style of wooden walks will be
agreed upon. An adjournment was taken
till June 10, when the committee will pre-
pare a table of estimates as to the prob
able cost of the various forms of paving
and cutters,
1t is certain that the improvement OF
the avenue will be undertaken at an
early date, and that it will be carried out
on lines that will be of the greatest ben
eft to the city. 1t is needed and will moi
be opposed by anybody with any degree
of public spirit The meeting on June !!
will be attended by the aldermen and
the property owners, and it is expected
that final conclusions will then be
reached.

The Mornnx Campaien.

Washington, June S.-The situation In
the Philippines is described by General
Otis in the following telegram:
Manila, June S.-Adjutant General,
Washington: The result of movements
in Morong province was to drive the
insurgents into the mountains, captur-
ing Antipoli and other towns in that
section. They retreated and scattered
before our advance, leaving rs dead
on the field. Our loss was four killed
and a few wounded, mostly slight. The
city of Morong is garrisoned. All other
troops are withdrawn. The inha bitants
of the provinces profess friendship and
ask protection. Large numbers wish to
enter Manila. This was refused, as the
city's population is increasing too rap
idly. The leading natives about the
island, including the active insurgent
leaders, seek permission to send their
families to Manila. 1t is considered the
only place of personal security"
Otis to-day cables as follows regard
ing the return of volunteers:
Manila, June S.-The Oregons re-
quest to defer the time of dep lrture
until the 18th They will leave for
Portland in the transports Ohio and
Newport The 9Th infantry, upon ar
rival, will relieve the Californians at
Negros. The Hancock sails in a few
days with the Nebraska and other
troops"

UNDER TONS Of EARTH
Twenty Eight Men Engulfed in
an Arkansas Landslide.
WORKING ON A RAILROAD
All Are Supposed to Have Been Killed
But It Was Impossible Last Night to
Obtain Full and Exact Informa-
ton OF the Calamity.

Little Rock Ark, June SIT is re-
ported here tonight that landslide
occurred at Ross Hollow and engulfad
Is men, all of whom are supposed to
have been killed. Ross Hollow is pass
between two small mountain ranges,
about IS miles west of Little Rock, on
the line of the Choctaw & Memphis
railway, now under construction from
Little Rock to Howell. A large force
of graders has been engaged in grading
the road through the pass, and, accord
ing to the report, is was part of this
force of men that were caught under
the falling earth. The report cannot be
confirmed tonight. None of the ofli-
Gals of the road nor any of the contrac-
tors who are present in this city have
received news of the accident. The re-
port was brought in by farmers trav-
cling from the locality. The scene of the
accident is over a rough stretch of
country and it is impossible to get news
from there tonight. According to the
farmers bringing the news, large
force of men We're engaged in eNcavat-
ing in deep cut when the earth above,
which had been loosened by the heavy
rains. suddenly came down upon them,

War Is Not En- tied,

New York, June S.-A special to the
World from Washington says: THE
end of the war is q long way off,"
writes Brigadier General Hale, now in
the Philippines, in a letter to a friend
in this city. The letter is dated early
in May, about the time Aguinaldo was
making his overtures for peace, and
shows that our army officers had no
faith in the sincerity of the rebels as
far as peace negotiations went. The
war department declines to make pub
lie any messages received from General
Otis. The war department, since the
departure of Secretary Alger, has de-
clined to make public anything re-
ceived from the Philippines. Even cas-
ualty lists are held up a day or two be-
fore being posted on the bulletin board
The department is pursuing the sauna
policy as that for the month or six
weeks prior ito the attack of the Fill
pinos upon the Americans. Acting Sec
rotary Of War Meiklejohn stated that
while some advices had been received
from General Otis he was not at liberty
to make them public. The same reti-
cence is displayed by Adjutant General
Corbin. No dispatch has been posted
from General Otis detailing the situa-
ton for more than week. The indica-
tons are that the department will now
endeavor to conceal everything. No
credence is attached to the London re-
port that Aguinaldo defeated Generals
Macarthur and Lawton.

Senate Finance Committee.

: New York, June s.-A meeting of the
senate committee on finance will be
held here tomorrow Senators Aldricn
of Rhode Island and Jones of Nevada
arrived in the city to-day. Senator
Thomas C. Plat is already here. Sena-
tor Allison of Iowa, Senator Plat of
Pennsylvania and Senator Burrows Of
Michigan have all wired that they will
be here before noon tomorrow. The
other two members-Wolcott of Colo
RADIO and James K. Jones of Arkansas
are abroad.
1t was expected that the committee
would take up and consider the recon-
mendations of the republican house eau
Gus committee on currency, which has
been sitting at Atlantic City, but Sena-
tor Aldrich said that nothing of the
sort would be done.
I'VE will meet" he said, "for about
90 minutes and decide upon our future
progress. We will not probably discuss
finance or currency in any form at to-
morrow's meeting and certainly we

a miserable life of torture and prema-
ture DEATH yet we feel that life to the
erring is dear, and pain as severe, as to
those whose sins have not found them
out.
Their sad and painful experience, like
that of the prodigal son, brings many
a maynard, net noble youth, back to a
life of rectitude, and whatever some of
the Pharisaical and fastidious may say,
we propose to lift those who have fallen

Self-doctoring is dear doctoring. The
first costs appear less to the pocket, but
the balance is paid by the destruction
of the constitution.
Self cures begin by easy SOC piece
stage and end in ruin.
There is only one economic course for
the unfortunate. and that Is to be cured.
The alternative is killing.
Pleasure is not measured by SOC
pieces nor should recoveries be hamp-
cred by doles.
1t is as important to be well as it is
to be born, and the gift of health Is
second only to that of life.
To ailing men we should say that the
specialist, whose life has been devoted
to the cure of diseases of men, is the
only safe resort. The electric and rem
edy fakes amateurs and experimental

The worst cases are those previously
treated by cheap nostrums, and SOC a

ulous as unskillful.

Plenty of Food.

Washington, June S.-Among the reports
(which accompanied the reports of General
Otis regarding operations about Manila
are those relating to the subsistence of
the army 1t appears from these that the
subsistence corps was prompt in every
way in supplying the troops with food.
Under date of March 20, Major Robert
Fltzhugh, commissioner of subsistence,
says that on the evening of February 5,
that after hard fighting and a general ad-
vance all along the division line, the
troops were given their supper promptly
at the regular hour and during all the
subsequent movements, while the troops
have been constantly confronting the en-
envy, either in line or in the trenches, the
continuous supply of rations has been
maintained and at all times reserve of
at least two days travel rations have
been kept on hand.

mere Is Liable to he serious DiSOr der
on Sunday.
Paris, June S.--Slight riots occurred
this evening between the revisionists
and anti-revisionists after a meeting
addressed by M. Francis de Presence
of the Tempruj in the Clichy district
of Paris. There We're several fights
between rioters and the police, who
charged the populace. Finally the re-
Visionists made "a movement toward
the residence of M. Zola, with the OBJ
ject of demonstrating, but the police
interfered Several revolver shots were
fired during the disturbance and 20
persons were placed under arrest.
In the Hobbies of the chamber of dep
uties to-day there was much talk of
F. the possibility Of the overthrow of the
Dupuy cabinet next week. M. Dupuy
presided at the cabinet council to-day
when the measures to be taken were
considered. 1t is announced that the
government has decided not to allow
any of the generals who are mixed up
in the Dreyfus affair to take part in
the review at Long Champs on July A.
The refusal of the government to al
low M. Joseph Lasces, anti-semite and
antl-revlsionst deputy for Gers, to in
terpellate on the Dreyfus affair led to a
renewal of violent scenes in the cham
Der to-day. His motion was finally
shelNed by an overwhelming majority.
There are increasing indications that
there, will be violent scenes at Long
Champs on Sunday, as various parties
are expressing a determination to de-
monstrate. The cabinet has determined
to take very severe measures to prevent
disorder. All the available police force
will be modified and the police will he

SITUATION IS SERIOUS
Utter Failure of the Conference
Over the Transvaal.
PRESIDENT KRUGER FIRM
He Summarily Rejects the Proposals
Submitted by Sir Alfred Miller. the
British High Commissioner.
They Couldn't Agree.

London, June s.-Advices to-day from
sources show more completely the utter
failure of the recent conference at
Matajes Fonte.n between President
Kruger and the British high commits
sioner Sir Alfred Miller. The London
afternoon papers all refer to the dan
gerous situation.
A dispatch from Matajes Fontein says
Sir Alfred Miller's proposals included
granting the Uitlanders additional seats
in the Rand district and that President
Kruger, under pressure, finally offered
three additional seats. The British high
commissioner thereupon pointed out the
inadequacy of the presidents proposal,
adding that he had come to the confer
ence in the hope Of being able to in
form her majesty's government that
the president of the Transvaal govern
ment was able to afford such liberal
measures of reform as would enable the
Uitlanders to help themselves and re-
lieve the government of the obligations
to intervene in order to redress part1c-
ular grievances
Throughout, it is added, President
Kruger sought to use the franchise
proposal as the means of obtaining
promise to settle the differences under
the convention by arbitration, but the
British commissioner refused to treat
the two subjects as inter dependent,
taking the ground that internal reform
| in the Transvaal was necessary in any
| case in order to preserve the independ-
| ence of the republic and, as regards ar
| bitration, there were certain questions
upon which it could not be admitted,
while on other questions arbitration was
| possibly admissible, provided a suitable
| tribunal was suggested, not involving
the introduction of foreign power,
which the governments would never al

BECKER PROBABLY REMOVED.
Montana's First Republican Editor to
Come Out for Mckinley.

Special Dispatch to the Standard.
Billings, June S.-Major Becker, who was
the first editor in the state to renounce
free silver and hoist the names of McKin-
ley and Hobart to the masthead of the
Billings Gazette, is now persona non
grata to the administration. In an in
eerview with the secretary OF the interior,
which he had in Washington to-day,
Becker was told he must either resign the
Grew agency or he would be dismissed.
Becker refused to resign and is presum
ably removed Edwards of junction has
been recommended by Senator Carter
The feeling among Billings citizens is that
Becker has been badly treated. He is en-
route home and will undoubtedly be heard
from in politics.

Washington, June S.-Minister Calvo OF
Costa Rica has been advised by his gov
rcnment that two companies OF troops,
sent a short time ago to Port Limon, near
the Nicaraguan border, because OF the
assembling there of large bodies of Near
aqua troops on the border, had been with
drawn. The minister accepts this as
showing that there is no further hkeL-
hood of a clash between the Nicaraguan
or Costa Rican troops on the border.
