March Against the Enemy.
Manila, April "A. - Gen. Lawton
took the field at daybreak Saturday,
with column of troops consisting of
the North Dakota regiment, two bat
Aalions of the Third infantry, the Twen-
ty-second infantry, two guns of Scott's
battery, three troops of the Fourth
cavalry and Gales squadron, equipped
in light marching order. This force
started at five o'clock in the morning
over the Novalisches road, travelling
the country previously cleared of reb-
els, but subsequently reoccupied by
them. It is to be presumed that Gen.
Lawton by this movement will outflank
the enemy before joining Gen. MacAr-
thur north of Malolos.
The Dakota regiment first encoun-
tered the enemy in front of Novalisches
ut s:15 a. m. The'rebels opened fire on
our troops, but their fire was silenced
is minutes later, the enemy retiring in
bad order, and the Americans advancing
along the rough roads around Nova
lisehes. They were considerably an
noyed by the fire of the rebel sharp
shooters from the jungle for two hours.
At two o'clock in the afternoon the
rebels were in full fight. leaving many
dead on the field, and our troops were
compelled to take brief rest in the
shade. as the heat was overpowering.

SOUTHERN "PRosPEHITY."

Mr.. James Barrett, Vice frrp dent
OF the Georgia State Agricultural
Society, was last week before the
Industrial Commission, and made
statements not at all in accord with
the reported prosperity which the
South is enjoying. In speaking OF
agricultural conditions, Mr.. Barrett
said that it was worse to-day than
ever before in the history Of the
country, and especially was this so
with reference to cotton; that prices
last year amounted to only a fraction
over four cents, and at this price the
farmer could not save himself and
pay more than three dollars per
month wages for labor. He estimat-
ed that nine-tenths of the cotton
grown was mortgaged before it was
matured. Speaking of the water
melon crop which used to be a good
industry in Georgia, Mr.. Barrett said
that railroad rates were such as to
render it impossible to longer make
watermelon growing profitable, and
that the same was true of other
garden products.
While Mr.. Barrett, throughout his
whole testimony took very dark
view OF the situation in the South
from an agricultural standpoint. yet
1t was not more pessimistic than the
real condition warrants. 1t is a
common thing these days to see in
the daily press comments upon the
prosperity of the South, as il it were
fact beyond all questioning that
the South was to-day enjoying an
era OF greater prosperity than ever
before. And yet there is not a
farmer nor a merchant dependent
upon the farmer who cannot from
his own experience tell widely diff
ferent tale. There is absolutely
nothing to justify reports of pros
perity unless it be the enormous
earnings of the railroads and where
railroads are allowed to prosper
through extortionate rates, the
balance of the country have to suffer
proportionately.

claiming a white and negro crimi-
nal together, and threatened to mob

writhed in agony of indignation that
such a disgraceful thing should hap

''Me Too Amer1ca.

The following paragraph from the
proceedings of the Peace Conference
at The Hague seems to us worthy of
note:
The conference finally resolved in
favor of prohibiting the us of bullets
which easily spead or flatten out in
the human body, such as explosive
bullets, bullets in hardened case
which does not entirely cover the
point, or bullets with an incision.
The British and American dele
gates alone voted in the negatives.
Throughout the entire proceedings
of this Peace Conference our Ameri-
can representatives have acted as if
they thought it was incumbent upon
them to do in all respects what
Great Britain's representatives do.
They are evidently imbued with the
idea that the sentiment in this
country is overwhelmingly in favorof
an alliance with England, and lose
no opportunity Of saying "me too''
to any of England's ideas of war
fare. Thus it is they join England's
representatives in voting against
the humane proposition of prohibit
ing the use of bullets in warfare

to the humiliation of knowing that
they are the only nation to join

Mr.. Lockwood a Prominent oil Producer
Of p nrsylv sDia Says This Must be Done
Before Trusts Can be Removed
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE in
dustrial commission to day heard a
statement from l.. M. Lockwood, an
oil producer of Zelienople, Pa, in
opposition to the Standard Oil
Trust. Mr.. Lockwood declared that
this company had driven the indie
pendent refneries into bankruptcy
and servitude, and he denounced the
course pursued in severe terms. BE
held that the railroads are especial
~ responsible for this condition of
affairs. Going back to 1872, be re-
ferred at length to q contract made
by the trunk lines of PENNSYLVANIA
with the South Improvement Com
pany. Under this contract, he said.
the freight rates on oil were doubled
and one-half the amount collected
was paid back as a rebate. Not
only this, but the contract COMPANY
received like rebate on the shin
ments of all other companies. This
contract, he declared, had been
secretly continued by the railroads
with the Standard OIL Company.
He quoted A. J. Cassett, the new
president of the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, as testifying before
the Interstate railway commission
to the effect that while the open rate
to the public was s1.9O per barrel,
the rate to the Standard COMPANY
was 80 cents. Further Investigation.
said Lockwood, had developed the
fact that the railroad companies
actually received only IS cents. This
condition of affairs had resulted for
a time, according to the witness in
giving the Standard Oil Company a
profit of 400 per cent, while the in
dependent refineries we're being
rapidly driven into bankruptcy.
Mr.. Lockwood was free in the use
OF epithets, characterizing both the
OIL company and railroad off cials as
high waymen and brigauds. "IF YOU

Schley, after having submitted to

to Lieutenant Hodgson asking him

did in a letter to Admiral Schley.
The denial was emphatic to the
point. and complete. Now to the
time Lieutenant Hodgson's denial,
the Navy Department had been
quiet. 1t was evidently enjoying
this shameful attack upon Schley.
But as soon as Lietenant Hodgson's
denial was published, the Depart
ment Immediately took hand and
ordered an investigation of the
matter to prove that the New York
Suns vicious attack was correct.
1t placed in charge Of the lnvestiga-
ton, Capt. Chadwick of the New
York, SIMPSONS flagship. And un-
doubtedly considerable pressure was
brought to bear upon Hodgson to
make him say, which he did, that he
did not intend to convey in his letter
OF denial that no such colloquy took
place. But enough of Hodgson he
has proven himself an incapable wit
ness. But what is more to the point
is the Departments shameful treat
ment of Schley. Not content with
trying to rob him of his we'll won
