Representative Eddy. of Minnesota,
who is an expert in feeling the public
pulse, is in Washington Since Con-
gress adjourned he has been almost
continuously on the move, and has
been from Massachusetts to the state
of Washington, making it a point to
find out the condition OF public senti-
ment. AS result of his investiga-
ton, he says that the foreign policy
of the administration will be the
principal issue in the presidential
campaign. OF that issue, he said :
THE sentiment of the country is, in
my opinion, overwhelmingly in favor
of maintaining American supremacy
over every foot OF territory which
came TO us as a result Of the war with
Spain. The anti-expansionists of the
East have really done President Nc
Kinley good turn by their calumnia-
tons. For they have aroused the
sentiment OF the people and made an
issue that will be settled in the presi
Dental election next year, and set
tied right, as every question involving
American dignity and honor has al
ways been settled when submitted to
the voters

Tradition says it was at the close OF
the war of 1872, the strange specimen
OF humanity, who became known as the
Hermit of Hsger's hill', first made his
appearance. He WAS described as
with eyes as black as Egyptian

to the natives ceased. The more courage
Gus thought to explore the place inhabt

to his place of abode, the yells, more
unearthly than ever, would again be
heard. No one could stand the strain on
the nerves. Strange as it may seem, fires
that have devasted the surrounding
forests have never yet burned this hill.

The Bangor Commercial talks mysteri-
ously bout the Ware murder case, and
predicts astonishing developments before
long. The paper quotes one Bucksport
man rs saying:
"The crime OF silence Is being committed by
many good people in Bucksport to-day. Mary
people here could testify Importantly II they
would. They are withholding evidence and are
really guilty OF the part OF an accessory after
the fact. Some OF US know that Is SO. In some
OF the cases those who are working up the mat
ter will be able at the proper time to produce
sworn statements made by persons who are
trying to deny any knowledge in the case. Ii is
this strange fear which has caused much Of the
trouble with the solution OF the tragedy. The
fear would he curious II many Of Us did not
now hold a suspicion which is fast getting to be
something Fore definite than that"

pnnuskn Embezz,ement Case.

The trial of John Panuska, treasurer OF
Nebraska camp, No. All, Modern Woodmen
Of America, charged with the embezzlement
of $19S.65, commenced Thursday afternoon
before Judge Gordon. The state showed that
the money was turned over to Panuska and
that on April 5 he reported he had been
robbed and could pay no more orders upon
him. This was practically the states case,
no effort being made to prove that the rob-
berry was a fake, pure and simple, or that
the money had been spent by Panuska in
riotous living. Attorney Piatti for the de-
Tense moved to dismiss the case for lack of
evidence. Judge Gordon held that it is in
cumbent upon the state to prove that no
robbery had occurred or that the money was
really embezzled by Panuska Judge Hels-
ley asked to have the states case reopened
after this ruling, or he would be compelled
to file a new complaint. Mr.. Patti con-
sented and the trial was resumed, the Off
GERS who examined the house at the time
of the robbery occurred being called as wit
nesses.

to Dean Fair.

Services in ommemoration OF Ascension
day were held at Trinity cathedral last even

by the Knights Templar in the world at
large, a delegation from Mount Calvary COM
mandery attended the service In full uni
form. There were about fifty knights pres
emit. u audience. aside from the knights,
was not large. The Trinity choir rendered
some special music for the occasion. Dean
Fair made an address to the knights and
as an Introductory said:
at is no strange thing to see the knights
Templar in the church. The careers OF the
commandery and that Of the church are so
interviewer that the history Of one is a story
of the other. One cannot be a Knight Tenn
plar without knowing Christianity. That
which makes a Christian constitutes a
Templar. That which inspires the heart or
the godly man uplifts the mind of the Tenn
plar. ! have had the pleasure of serving
under bishops who were proud Of their mem-
bership in the commandery. Our W be-
loved bishop, DR.. George E. Worthington,
has added to the many other honors to his
name that of being a Knight %Templar.'
The dean then gave a sketch of Templar-
ism in connection with the history of the
crusades, and predicted that as Palestine
was again in control of the Turks, as it was
in the time of the crusades, armed Pilgrim
ages to the holy land would again be wit
messed in the future, when there would be
a struggle for its redemption between the
Christian and the Mohammedan. He re-
ferred to the work of the knights Templar
of today, eulogizing the grand charity and
fraternal blessings of the organization, clos,
ing with the hope that the order would
eventually become the vestibule of the
church and the stepping stone to Christians

a short time and then took up his twelve
hours walk.
Hegleman, Cox and Click were the first

through the day. Igo had almost a mile the
better of Guerrero, but toward evening the
latter kept gaining and exchanged places
with Igo. The rest of the membranes,

The spectators did not take kindly to this
move, but subsequently news was brought
from his dressing room that he had col
lapsed entirely. So grave was his condition
that his trainers grew alarmed and every
method to revive him was without sue
cess. Hanson was taken to Flower hos
pital. The physicians said that it was a
very bad case of collapse and that Hanson
was In a serious condition.
Between 8 and 10 o'clock Geary started in

ner, but they have r~esoTted to intimidation

of death has been held up as the fate OF
any who refuse longer to fight the Ameri-
cans. Even to counsel, peace was to invite
possible death.
9TH Filipinos are brave, but they lack
the qualities the American soldier possesses.
Their workmanship is remarkably poor and
they are poorly Differed. If they had been
good marksmen the mortality in our ranks
would have been something frightful, for
our troops have been exceedingly reckless
in the manner in which they have exposed
themselves in battle. THIS accounts largely
for the fatalities which have com to them.
Time and time again when a good cover
was offered our men would stand up in the
open and calmly pick out their men. or
course, this is bravery, but it has been the
cause Of many deaths. Had we been opposed
by a foe skilled in the use of firearms l
tremble to think what our death lists would
have been.
But, at the same time, this reckless cour-
age has gone a long way toward terrifying
and demoralizing the Filipinos.
The volunteers have shown the most SUI
perb courage. 1t is needless to say what the
regulars are. they can always be counted
| on to do whatever is asked of them and
have proved themselves to be the best sol
diers in the world. In my opinion, the war
is nearly over and within a month peace
will be established in Luzon."

DEPEW,s CHINESE RIVAL.
One of the Best A~fter-Dinner Speak
ers in nshtnGto

crs in hi
The present Chinese minister in the United
States is the most popular diplomat in
Washington. That statement may cause
some surprise, says the Kansas City Jour-
nal, but the fact is that the pig-tailed repre-
sentative of the Celestial empire is a man
of superior parts, gifted with extraordinary
good nature and a remarkable command of
English. At dozens Of afternoon receptions,
teas, and even dinners, he is a welcome
guest.
No man in diplomatic life here has a bet
ter memory. He is introduced to hundreds
of persons, a great many Of them ladies'

make his formal call on the Congressional
ladies'" during the season Of chocolate and
lee 1t has never occurred that he
could not at once name the place where he
had met this person or that, even though our
Occidental way Of designating people may
not commend itself to his system OF mental
assimilation.
Not long ago he attended a state dinner at
which Chauncey NJ. Depew, Americas cham
pion after-dinner orator, was present and
spoke. In the course of the dinner the
Chinese minister was called upon to respond
to a sentiment. He used the queens English
in a way that surprised every diner. BY and
by, as he warmed up to his subject, he
grew eloquent; then he dealt out a few
witticisms. The guests began to laugh.
Then he began to fash and scintillate. That
Chinaman, in short, proved himself the
equal, IL not the superior, Of the great
Depew as a post-prandial star, so that the
New Yorker might well have bethought him

was that of the National Trotting associa-
ton against the Louisville Driving and Fair
association. The case was interesting, for
the reason that II Involved the power Of a
judge or association to suspend or modify
action OF the authorities had been publicly
announced from the stand. The Board Of
Review declared that the judges or assoc
citation had no authority under the rules
to remit a fine after 1t had been announced.
The case in question occurred at a meeting

after by the judges.
