If the United States Is to Follow the Ssar
/ of Empire.
London Nov 4--The Times in an
editorial on the report Of the Philip
'ptne commission says:
I'm proportion as America assumes
sproprietorship beyond the original linn
fits of her territory it will become in
tcreasingly necessary that there should
tbe complete unity in the attitude of
the nation toward it's acquisitions; and
lHhis necessity will manifestly tend to-
ward an increase of the national or
republic spirit in other directions.
Nothing is more likely to put
stop to the desultory guerrilla fight
Ding than a positive declaration on the
part of the United States of their in
rention to carry the task they have
commenced to a definite and satisfac-
tory conclusion"
Z Comparing Americas position in the
Philippines with that of Great Brit
ain in South Africa, the Times says:
Every year must increase Americas
point of contact with other nations
and her share in the control of the des
TIMES of the world. In the fulfllment
of her appointed mission she can rely
in the fullest measure upon British
sympathy"

FIND PYTHON ABOARD SHIP.
Lively Experience of a Crew on u yesse
From Hayti

From the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The British steamer Saltram, Captain
Owen, which arrived at this port yester,
day afternoon from Port de Paix, Hayti
loaded with logwood, passed through
remarkable thrilling experience on the
way. On the third day of the outward voy-
age John Banks one of the sailors, no.
ticed peculiar rafting In the neighbour
hood of the partition between the hold
and the forecastle. He called the atten-
ton of his comrades to it, and, the noise
continuing, the matter was reported to
the first mate. who ordered an investiga-
ton to be made. The carpenter was sum-
moned and q portion of the woodwork
hastily removed, when, to their horror
and dismay, the crew perceived the head
of a python gradually protrude itself
A hasty council of war was at once
held by Captain Owen and it was resolved
to employ drastic means to effect the rep
tiles destruction. The officers ordered
all guns laid aside, for fear that the men
in their excitement should injure ond
another, rather than the snake, and
they commanded the crew to attack the
reptile with marlins spikes and clubs
After a battle lasting a quarter of an
hour a lucky blow with spike trans
fixed the beasts head and the skin being
too manglei for preservation, the SER
pent was forthwith given watery grave.

Mr.. CROKER DENIES It.
Didn't Make an Offer in the No.
torious Gas Deal.
MAZET MAKES NO REPLY
Wouldn't Permit His Charges Made in
Political Speeches to Go Into the
Record OF the Committees
Testimony.

New York. Nov. 3.--The expec-
tation, that Richard Croker would
make a scene to-day before the as
sembly committee on the management
of this city was not fulfilled In the
course of an address before a political
meeting a few days ago, Chairman
Mazet asserted in effect that when the
gas charter was introduced in the legis-
lature by him, that measure being in
imical to the New Amsterdam Gas
company, and, it is alleged in the in
nerest of the Consolidated Gas COM
pany, Mr.. Croker proposed to with
draw his opposition to the bill if the
Consolidated company would buy at his
price the stock of the New Amster-
dam company which he held.
1t was to make denial of this state
ment that Mr.. Croker yesterday de-
manded a hearing before the commit
tee. Mr.. Croker was at the committee
room early to-day Before the pro-
ceedings were begun the republican
members of the committee and counsel
held a protracted conference. Imma-
diately on calling the committee to or
der Chairman Mazet asked:
rs Mr.. Croker PRESENT."
The Tammany chief responded: Il
am here under oath. l presume, and 1
want to deny a statement which you
made in your campaign speeches in
your district"
Mr.. Mazet-What is it you want to
contradict?
Mr.. Croker-I want to contradict the
speeches you have made in reference
ito my dealings with the Consolidated
Gas company that I tried to sell Am
sterdam stock to that company. That
is what 7 understood you to say in
your speech. l deny that now on the
stand
Mr.. Mazet-Is that ALL Mr.. Croker?
Mr.. Croker-That is all.
+ Mr.. Mazet-You are excused.
Mr.. Croker-Will you take the stand
land testify to what you said?
Mr.. Mazet-Mr. Croker will you
please step down from the stand?
Mr.. Croker then left the stand and
the room. Subsequently Chairman
Mazet gave out the following state
ment:
i Mr.. Croker knows that this is no
fplace and no time to settle the question
between him and me.
| What 1 said on the stump, l said not
of my own knowledge, but upon good
and sufficient authority. If Mr.. Gro
ker really wishes to have the truth
of my statement he can sue for libel
eor he can prosecute me criminally by
"a friendly district attorney"

DISCUSSED THE REPORT
It Received the Approval of the
Cabinet.
GOVERNMENT FOR CUBA
A Change in the Present Military Sys-
tenn Is Considered Imperative.
Obstacles to Woods APP
pointmsnt.

Washington Nov. 3.-The cabinet meet
ing to-day lasted two hours. Much OF the
time was spent in reading and discussion
of the preliminary report of the Philippine
commission. The report was considered
very satisfactory and received the full
approval of the cabinet. There was sons
incidental discussion of the status Of our
insular possessions in relation to the pos
tai union. Postmaster General Smith will
investigate the subject and report at some
future meeting. The question of civil
government for Cuba also received atten-
ton. The necessity, for a change from the
present military syten1, it is said, becomes
more and more apparent and the presi-
dent is waiting only until an entirely suit
able person can be found before taking
action in that direction.
The particular point under discussion
was that involving the right. under the
law. of our soldiers in the Philippines to
send through the mails to friends in this
country souvenirs of little or no CONNER
cial value. Under a strict construction Of
the law, articles of any commercial value
except books are prohibited from being
sent through the mails But the govern
ment, realizing that with the approach
of the Christmas holidays the soldiers
serving in the Philippines undoubtedly will
wish to send home some mementoes of
their service, an earnest effort will be
made to overcome the difficulties present
ed. 1t is probable Secretary Gage will
formulate some regulation which will
meet the situation.
The subject of a civil government for
Cuba also received considerable attention
The necessity for a change in the present
military system, it is said, becomes more
and more apparent. and the president is
waiting only until an entirely suitable per-
son can be found before taking action in
that direction. General Wood is said to
be very favorably regarded in this con-
nection, but there are obstacles to his APP
pointment which at present are deemed
unsurmountable. One of them is the num-
Der of officers in Cuba who rank General
Wood, and his promotion over their heads
is not deemed advisable.
The report coming from Canada to the
effect that Sir Louis Davies, member
of the Canadian cabinet. who recently
returned from England and was treated
with scant courtesy by the customs Off
Gals at New York, was mentioned. The
president sincerely regrets that Sir Loui:
was put to any Inconvenience or suffered
annoyance at the hands of customs in
spectors, and it Is probable that the re-
grets of this government will be forward
ed to him.

~ remarkable for it's failure to discuss

questions in the Bulletin to those two IS.
sues and matter affecting the national
administration so long as he performs the
duties of editor. The significant thing IN
the omission of silver articles from the
Bulletin is that Mr.. Cook is supposed TO
be acting under orders from the chiefs OF
the national committee. He said yester-
day, in speaking of his work as editor
''I will endeavor. in preparing matter
for publication in the Bulletin, to repre-
sent faithfully the ideas of majority of
the members of the national committee
The object of the Bulletin will be to dis
seminate ideas on current questions that
are likely to be features OF the next ma
tional campaign. -

the vast richness of the country. and
refers especially to the so-called ruby
