Chase and wife. of Milligan. Tenn, in
which 1t alleges that Chase, who is supposed
TO have died in February. is not dead, and

posted, from paying it to Mrs. Chase's
order. An order has also been secured
allowing the grave in which Chase is sup
posed to have been buried to be searched.
1t is claimed that the coffin was filled with
rocks which were buried instead OF the
heavily insured man. The insurance poll
cy was secured last October and the annual
premium on il was 81, 100. Chase was one
of the best-known men in east Tennessee.

Advice OF Hoke smith on How to Set
tie Philippine Question.

NEW YORK, July PA special TO the
Times from Washington says: Ex-Secretary
Hoke Smith was interviewed on the subject
OF the campaign in the Philippines and said:
"Nine-tenths OF the people in our section are
opposed to continuing the war. The senti-
ment all over the South / believe is over
whelming against trying TO retain the
islands. The Fflipinos are fighting for lib
erty in the same way what We did CEN
fury ago, and the American people are al
ready sick and tired of the slaughter going
on there.
II am not In favor of having our troops
leave the islands with an armed force lined
up against them. but that would not be nee
essary. If We would avow our intention Of
leaving the islands to the natives and aban-
doning our attempt at sovereignty the fight
ing would stop at once. Then. aftenwe had
assisted in establishing a government, if the
natives SO wished. our troops could properly
be withdrawn. II the next presidential
campaign were to be waged solely on the
issue of continuing the war the opposing
candidate would carry the country"
II was suggested that the insurrection
might be put down in the meantime. The
word ''insurrection' seemed to displease Mr..
Smith, who replied: There is not any in
surrection. There Is simply an invading
army trying to conquer a spirited people. and
IL will be impossible, as believe and hope.

we have done 1t than there will be another
outbreak President Mckinley entirely mis-
understood the sentiment of our people on
the question when he visited the South. He
made a speech in Atlanta before a great
throng. in which he asked the citizens IL
they wanted to see our soldiers turn their
backs on the American flag in the East and
they answered no. What else could they say
when the question was put in that way? We
can leave the Philippines without leaving
the flag or running from an enemy. i am

Meeting a Trick of Railroads.

CHICAGO. July A.-The quartermaster
general Of the United States army does not
feel inclined to pay the high rates demanded
by the Western roads for the transportation
of troops to the Pacific coast. He has been
taking steps calculated to break up the rail-
way combination. He first sent troops to
San Francisco over one route ignoring all
other roads. That plan failed TO break up
the agreement. The quartermaster general
now has gone off a different tack He
has learned that ships can be obtained at
Seattle in which 10 transport the troops and
that the roads leading 10 that city west of
st. Paul are not in the agreement. The orig
inal understanding was that all troops
should be sent by way of San Francisco and
the asking of bids by way OF Seattle is with
the evident object of getting the North Pa
cafe coast lines TO come to the aid of the
quartermaster general and thus bring about
a rush of roads TO put in bids at rates less
than those provided for in the agreement
