"They cost good American lives"
This is what Prof. Worcester says of
the accounts of alleged atrocities by
American soldiers in the Philippines,
printed in American papers and copied
by the insurgent press. The encour-
agement to resist that the insurgents
have had from Hoar, Hale, Bullock
and the American papers that have
carried their opposition to the admin
istration to extreme lengths, far over
the border lines of sedition, have cost,
and are still costing, "good American
lives" and causing in hundred ways
'incalculable harm"

The memory of the terribly fatal aim
of the Boer bushmen in 1880-S1, when
every officer in the British forces, and
mutitudes of the rank and file, went
down in the encounters of the English
forces with the embattled herdsmen of
the Transvaal, may well give pause to
any purpose of further coercion. The
Boer aim is deadly and his resolution
descended to him from the men of the
Netherlands who withstood and de-
feated Philip of Spain. The Transvaal
question, from every point of view, is
one for very serious and deliberate con-
sideration by highlands statesmen.

TATTOOED MAN DEAD.
Unknown Guest Found Dead in a
Jackson Street Lodging House.

An elderly man who registered at the
lodging house at AL Jackson street, Sun
day night, as G. Johnson, was found dead
in bed yesterday morning. At a post
mCrtem examination by Deputy Coroner
L. A. Nelson and DR.. ,Rothrock, it de-
veloped that death was due to fatty de-
generation Of the heart.
Little Is known as to who the dead
man was or where he came from, as
there was nothing about his person to
identify him.. He went to the lodging
house about midnight and asked for a
room. He was provided with accommo-
dations, and nothing more was seen or
heard Of him Until yesterday morning,
when James; SEnfthy sthe porter tried to
arouse him., Suspeotings something might
be wrong when. he received no response
to several knocks at the door Smith
climbed over the Straf1som and found
Johnson dead. The man probably passed
away shortly after retiring.
The dead man was about f1fty-three
years Of age, and appeared to be Scan
dinavian. He was five feet six inches
tall and weighed 1856 pounds. He was
slightly bald, having brownish gray hair
and a heavy brown mustache. The con-
ditiOn Of his hands. showed that he was
probably a laborer. In his pockets were
found So In silver and some small change.
He wore new. underwear, a new cap,
we2l wern canvas coat, overalIs and
heavy, black shoes. 1t seems evident
that Johnson was a stranger in this city,
as no one could be found who knew him.
He had several Minneapolis hotel cards
in his pockets, showing that he prob
ably came here from the Mill City.
What Will likely lead to the man 8
Identification is the remarkable tattooing
all over his body. On. his right arm is
red and blue tattoo, Of a. Chinese pagoda
sixteen inches in length. On his back a
blue lion. On the left forearm a large
tree and a number of animals. Above
the elbow is. a. large medallion with a
female likeness in the center, surmounted
by cross and crown. On the same por-
ton Of the arm Is a female snake charm
er, with more animals. Just below each
knee is an artistic production Of fine
carriers. On one leg was the likeness of
a woman.

BIDS FOR STREET LIGHTING
GAS COMPANY OBJECTS TO GER
TAIN PORTIONS OF THE
SPECIFICATIONS
Suggestion That u Saving Might Be
Made by Reducing the Number of
Gasoline Lamps Meets With Aid.
Murphy's Opposition.

The joint council committee on streets
met last evening to consider the bids
for street lighting. City Engineer Claus
sen submitted a tabulation Of the bids
received, showing that 1t would cost
$4,000 to light the city under the lowest
bids received for gas. gasoline and cleo
trio lighting next year. The expense this
year will be about $4,000.
Attorney Carl Taylor, representing the
gas company, presented to the commit
tee the objections to parts of the specitl-
cations. The first objection was that while
the maximum number of gas lamps
was fixed at $500 the right was given the
council to reduce this number without
mentioning the minimum number. The
company desired to furnish the number
of lamps and asked that the specifca-
tons be amended so that in case any Of
the $500 were ordered out new lamps
would be located at other points.
Another objection to the specifications
was that they required the only COM
pensation to be the price paid per lamp
per year. The company was now receiv-
ing $1,000 per year as interest on gas
posts and mains; this clause in the speci-
fications might affect this payment. The
objections to the electric lighting specii-
cations was that the minimum number
of lights was 400, and the maximum
1000. This might mean that the council
would order in 600 additional arc lights
and require the company to put up nu-
merous new lines Of poles and wires for
seven or eight months at great expense,
as the contract was only for year What
hoU he
specifications amended so as to provide
that any new arc lights ordered should
be on circuits already in operation by the
company
In reply to a question of, Aid Sanborn
Manager Ellison said the proposition Of
the gas company was that the company
would be willing to furnish the 1896 arc
lights now III service at 1914 per lamp per
year providing $500 gas lamps, the num-
Der now in use, were ordered at $23 per
year.
After some discussion the bids and
specifications were referred to the cor
poratlon attorney and board of public
works with instructions to prepare spec
if1cations for gas and electric lighting
similar to those of this year. The board
was also requested to send to the COM
nittee a plan by which a saving can be
made in the street lighting. The board IS
requested to make a report to the COM
mfttee Friday night.
The committee Is of the opinion that
by cutting out some Of the gasoline lamps
in the suburbs Of the city quite a saving
can be made
Aid. Murphy. however, objected to a
saving in this direction, and said he
should insist that if lamps were to be
displaced they should be taken from dis
tricts other than in the outskirts Of the
city, which at the present time were poor

POLICE ALARMS AND SPRINKLING'

Comptroller McCardy did not, bring up
the question Of school finance at the meet
ing of the conference committee yester-
day, as he Intended. In speaking of the
matter, after the adjournment of the
body. Mr. McCardy said there was no
question but that, under the clause from
the charter quoted in the G o b e of Sun
day, the conference committee could take
up the expenditures of the board based on
the pay roll for October, which had been
sent to him for audit. In view of the
approaching settlement of the matter by
the courts he had decided to allow the
judges to pass on the question, rather
than have the conference committee take
action.

the work could be done if his department

now paid. The other members agreed to
this, and the resolution was recommend
