GERMANY MAKES A DENIAL.
No Truth in the Report That She Is
Aiding FiIIpinOs.


Berlin, Jan. 1S-The correspondent of the
Associated Press, after a thorough investi-
cation, ascertains that the report that Ger
many is aiding the Filiplnos and furnish
ing them with war material Is absolutely
baseless.
Baron Won Bulow, imperial secretary of
state for foreign affairs, personally au-
thorlzes the statement that such reports
are justified by nothing Germany has DONE
is doing, or is preparing to do.
Legation Councillor Hamann of the for
eign office, being empowered to speak for
the government, supplemented the above
denial as follows:
'The only possible explanation of the
way in which such rumors have been orig
mated, we find in a dispatch received this
morning from Herr Kruger, our consul at
Manila.
Herr Hamann then read this dispatch to
The correspondent of the Associated Press
The gist of it is that early last November
three unimportant dealers sent to a Fiji
pino newspaper a statement that they had
always been satisfied with the treatment
received from the Filiplnos, and hoped
that the good relations would continue
Despite the fact that the German con-
suls at Manila and Hong Kong promptly
issued a declaration asserting that these
three Germans in no way represented the
views of the consuls, and assuring the
Americans Of sympathy, the incident was
used as a handle to impute antl-American
sentiments to Germans In the Philippines.
So far as the doings of the German gov
ernment and navy are concerned, Herr
Hamann says positively that absolutely
nothing had occurred which could be con-
strued as hostility toward the plans OF the
Americans, or as connivance with those
Of the Filipinos. Herr Hamann concluded
his statement to the Associated Press cor
RESPONDENT with the remark;
Il am amazed at such baseless lies,
though disproved again, should still find
credence."
The officials at the United States en-
bassy feel sure that there is nothing
whatever in the rumors.

STRONG FIGHT FOR CONTROL.
BOTH HOUSES IN WEST VIRGINIA
WILL UNsEAT MEMBERS.

Republicans Control the Senate ana
the Democrats Have the House,
House Has Two Election Contests
on Hand and the senate WIu I'm
sent Several Democrats, just for
sDite-Programme to be Continued
for Week.
Charleston, w. Va, Jan. 13.-Everything
IS at a standsuH tonight In the West vir-
ginia Legislature, owing to the failure of
the House to complete Its organization,
which Is due 10 the contest over seats
The House was in session but an hour
to-day, and the Senate even less time.
The Republican Senate waiting on the
Democratic House is likely to unseat the
three Democritic senator's, Marcum of
Bell, Ashbury of Kanawha and Kidd OF
Gllmer, If the Democratic House unseats
Via and Brohard, the Republicans whose
seats are contested. The election Of the
three senators mentioned was certified by
the Secretary of State and there is no
contest involved. If they are unseated, It
IS conceded that It win be as retaliation.
once tho unseating process begins there
is no telling where it win end, as the DEM
ocrats can do as they please in the House,
and the Republicans in the Senate. There
are however. more members of the House
than of the Senate.
The prospect of an early election of a
senator Is not bright. New candidates are
springing up and deadlock seems proba,-
bic, owing to the Republican division
among the numerous candidates. The lat
est rumor is that there is 20 be COM
bination between Commissioner Scott and
Gov. Atkinson whereby the latter is to
throw support to the former In return for
support for appointment on the Federal
bench.
Another rumor IS that Senator Elklns
and others at Washington are re|interesting
themselves in behalf of Internal Revenue
Commissioner ". y. Scott
All the other Republican senatorial cam
dldates are stil In the field.
The House refused to-day to notify the
Senate that 1t was ready for business and
adjourned. 1t Is thought that this pro-
gramme will be continued for another
week. until all the contests are settled.

The comments made by the press of the
country upon the recent Georgia lynching
affair indicate that there is very general
appreciation of the danger that threatens
the Southern States if the bulk of the ne
gro population is allowed to remain ig-
norant and more or less degraded. AS
might have been expected, the murder OF
the colored preacher Strickland, arouses
the most vigorous condemnation. This
man was executed on no evidence whatever
except the word of the miserable brute
who had just been tortured to death for a
heinous crime. The criminals assertion
spected citizen was discredited. This
shows what mob law really is when it is
allowed TO have free course.
To the credit of the South be it said
that Southern papers condemn this affair
in terms quite as strong as those of the
North. One point, however. is worth at
tention. Two or three Georgia journals
are inclined to blame the negro popula
ton for not catching and assisting TO pun
to be done by the white people. In regard
10 tniS IL may De noted mat as stated III
an Atlanta newspapers account of the
affair, the negroes Of the vicinity were
quite thoroughly terrorized and given
warnings OF a nature which would incline
them to keep indoors as much as posi-
BILE. 1t may also be remembered that, so
far as anyone knows, the mother of the
murderer was his only protector, and while
it may be that white murderer's mother,
especially II she were an ignorant and I'M
enlightened woman, more emotional than
Intelligent, would deliver him up to be
burnt alive by a mob, there Is no record
that anything of the sort ever happened.
On the contrary. in the case OF even the
worst fiends who ever disgraced this coun-
try, the mother has often done everything
in her power to protect the child she bore,
refusing TO believe him guilty except on
the most indubitable evidence. II any
body thinks that that murderer's mother
was likely TO step out of her little cabin
and call on the sheriff to come and get
the wretch there in hiding and take him 10

tured on the way and shot, hanged, or
