A SOLDIERS COMPLAINT.

Declares That Fever Stricken Men
Were Sent to the Front.
Chicago, June PA special to The
Chronicle from Marinette, Wis, says:
Hugh d. McCoshan, for years a resi-
dent of this city and now serving as
sergeant in Company H, First South
Dakota volunteer infantry, in the
Philippines, in letter dated at Manila,
May IL, and addressed to Joseph Laur-
man, local merchant, says:
1.-TWO days after San Fernando was
taken our regiment had but 100 men on
the line, the remainder being dead,
sick or wounded. General Macarthur
complained of the number of men sick,
other regiments being in the same
shape as ours, and Major Potter was
sent into Mauila to rush men to the
front. Acting under instructions, he
sent out 108 men. OF these 80 were
unable to reach the depot, mile dis
tant, many of them fainting on the
way, some 28 or 80 ultimately arriving
at San Fernando in worse condition
than when sent to Manila, the others
being ordered back by surgeons along
the line of the railroad, who saw at a
glance that they were in a precarious
condition.
81 can prove by the record Of the
hospital that men were ordered to the
front whose temperature was 103 de-
grees, and men from other regiments
Jared no better"

NEW Jersey FARMERS
Give Optimistic Testimony Before the
Industrial Commission.

Give Optimistic Testimony Bcfore tho
Industrial Commission.
Washington, June "a. - Richman
Coles, a farmer of Salem county, New
Jersey, was before the industrial COM
mission yesterday He said the farm
ers of New Jersey had no especial com.
plant, though there was a general
feeling that conditions might be i'm
proved Prices for their products
were generally lower, while wages for
farm hands we're higher than formerly.
Within the past 25 years farms in his
section had deprecated in value about
80 per cent The depreciation in the
price of products was not so great. He
was inclined to attribute the lower
prices to competition from the west
and south He advocated a tariff on
farm products.
Mr.. Samuel B. Ketchum, also New
Jersey farmer, expressed the opinion
that the outlook for farming in the
United States was bright, believing
that the time was not far distant when
the demand for farm products would be
equal to the supply One of the hard
ships with which many farm owners
had had to contend for the past quar-
ter of a century was the decline in
prices of farm lands. He also thought
that the best agricultural lands in the
west had been located, and that the
increase in production in that section
would not be so rapid in the future as
it had been in the past. AS a conse-
quence the increase In population
would soon make good the difference

THE KENTUCKY DEMOCRATS

Have Wasted Three Days without
Getting Down to Business.
Louisville, June 24.-For the third
time in as many days the Democratic
state convention last night broke up in
disorder. 1t enters upon the fourth
day of it's sessions today without hav
ing accomplished anything more than
temporary organization. The report OF
the committee on credentials was
reached in the order of business last
night, but its consideration was pre-
vented by the disturbing influence Of
persons who were admitted to the
floor of the convention, though not en-
titled to seats. The Hardin people
place the responsibility for this on
local sympathizers with the Stone-
Goebel combination, but the latter can.
didates disclaim all knowledge of an
attempt to pack the convention and
declare the disturbance was due TO
loose methods of the arrangements
committee. What influence the occur
renee will have on the chances Of the
candidates can hardly be foretold but
Hardin is most likely to profit by it,
1t is thought the convention will get
down to work in earnest today.

THE Philadelphia Record, one of
the leading Democratic dailies of the
state, in commenting upon the true
doctrine" of that party, says: "The
Democratic party, under the lead of
Jefferson, started out with the idea
that the larger the reserve Of power
retained in the hands of the people
and the less power delegated to gov
ernment the better. This is the
ground floor doctrine of Democracy.
1t found expression in the state gov
ernments and in the final organiza-
tion of the Federal Government. But
this is not the doctrine of the new
tangled Democracy, which wishes the
government to issue credit money and
make it legal tender, and which
would have the government own the
railroads and work the mines and
assume paternal relation toward
the people, thus reversing the idea of
sovereignty and making the people
dependent instead of independent"

He Has Massed the Largest Rebel

Manila, June 24.-Aguinaldo does
not seem to be satisfied with the at

of General Luna's army and has mass.

ACCORDING to the New York
journal of Commerce, about $115, 900
600 of American securities have been
thrown on the American market by
Europe since the beginning of this
year. This circumstance and the
falling off in the favorable trade
balance accounts for the gold expor-
tation from the United States which
has recently taken place. 1t is little
odd that Europe should drop so many
American stocks at this time, but it
probably means that the investors on
the other side of the water think the
present range of speculative prices
can not be maintained. This is a de-
lusion, of course. However, the re-
turn of these stocks reduces the debt
of America to Europe to this extent,
and adds this much to the holdings of
American investors. On the whole,
America and not Europe has been
benefited by this transfer of property.

Street Paving Decision.

Judge Phillips, in the United States
Circuit Court, at Kansas City, has
rendered decision declaring illegal
the present method of assessing
property for street improvements in
vogue in cities in Missouri, and largely
throughout the United States.
Judge Phillips holds that the Mis-
souri, statute authorizing cities and
towns to assess the cost of opening,
paving or repaving streets against
the owners of abutting property, ap-
portioning the whole cost on the
number Of front feet, is in violation
of the fourteenth amendment to the
federal constitution, which prevents
the taking of private property for
public use without just compensa-
tion.
Judge Phillips holds that unless all
the benefit OF such improvements re-
bounds to abutting property owners
as distinguished from the city at
large, this statute is unfair. He holds,
too, that property in one location
may be benefited more than property
in another location on the same
street, and that to be in harmony
with the clause of the constitution
cited assessments must be levied in
proportion to the benefit derived.
The decision was rendered in a
paving case brought in the Federal
Court at Springfield, Mo. The case
will be carried to the Supreme Court
and the final decision will have i'm
port bearing in many cities and
towns throughout the country.

a. More Peaceful Condition of Affairs
Prevails in Cleveland.
Cleveland, June 24.-The strike
among the employees of the Big Con-
solidated Street railway is in a fair
way to be settled at a meeting of the
council peace committee today. On
Thursday the officers of the Big Con-
solidated issued what they styled their
ultimatum. 1t was to the effect that
the company was willing to take back
all but 100 men, which would mean
that so per cent of the striking en-
ployes would be reinstated In the
matter of other grievances of the COM
pany made no changes, but its conces-
sions have recently been agreeable to
the strikers. The strikers Thursday
night refused to accept the proposition
of the company, saying the union men
would not submit to work with the
non-union men. Yesterday the peace
committee of the city council issued a
call for a meeting of {. the strikers,
which was held at Arch Hall, in which
an effort was made to induce the men
to agree to the last proposal of the
company. The result of the meeting
was that a statement was framed
by the strikers, which they said was
their ultimatum. The statement prac-
tically agreed to the proposition Of the
company. They agreed to allow the
company to retain 100 of its present
employees and put in clause which
said that hereafter, in case of any
difficulty between the company and the
employees, the latter should have the
right to appoint a committee, which
would dfecuee the pripVan ncas This is
not contrary To the stand taken by the
company. The strikers asked primarily
for the recognition of the union. The
council peace committee, however, per-
suaded them that 1t was to their
benefit 10 submit and they have prac-
tically agreed to do so.
