CLEMENCY
Will Probably Save the Lives Of
TWO Soldiers.

TWO Soldiers.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The wal
department officials have received nc
information other than press dis.
patches from Manila regarding the
cases of Corporal Darnhoffer and
Private Conine, of the Sixteenth in.
fantry, who it is announced are being
sentenced to death on the charge OF
having assaulted native women.
The sentences cannot be carried into
effect without the approval of the
president aud it is not considered prob
able that he will give his approval.
The death sentence has not be imposed
on soldier since the beginning of the
war with Spain.
In several cases soldiers have been
condemned to be shot for the murder
of comrades, but the president has in
every such case commuted the SEN
tence to life imprisonment.
1t is considered probable that when
the records reach the White house the
president will decide both men can be
sufficiently punished by being sent to
prison for long term.

STRONG
STATEMENTS
Made BY The Radicals At

THE ABLEST LEADERS
Of Labor Present Their Side
Bryan Will Have The
Last Word To Say
Tonight.

| CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-John w. Hayes.
general secretary of the Knights OF
Labor, was the first speaker at the
trust conference this morning. He
said in part:
"The question which we are invited
here to discuss, trust and conibna-
tions. is fast pressing itself for solu-
tion before the highest tribunal in the
national court of final resort for all
questions OF public policy, the court of
public opinion
II assert that it is contrary to the
best interests of society, indeed, and
that the government has not the con-
stitutional power to enact euch legis-
lation as will make it possible for any
combination of individuals to go limit
the volume of production in any
natural field for it's own particular ad-
vantage; or so create such conditions
that any individuals may have a des-
potic power over the lives of any citi-
zen or number of citizens.
s'I further assert and maintain that
these great combines are an assault
upon the Inherent and constitutional
rights of citizens, and that the real and
vital advantages to be gained is
deapotio control over labor"
CHICAGO, Sept. 15.-Theorists, free
traders and protectionists baving said
their say at the trust conference at
Central Music hall, labor took its in
ming at the opening OF this mornings
session and presented its side of the
case ia q series of addresses by the
ablest leaders OF it's forces.
''The antitrust people will not be
satisfied with any halfway measures
at this conference. We came here to
fight and we do not propose to be
caught mapping"
This is the declaration of the radical
element of the conference given out by
M. L. Lockwood, of Pennsylvania, to-
day, and it outlines the policy that
caused nearly half hundred of the
strongest antitrust delegates to meet
in the club room at nine O'Clock today
to form strong resolutions against
trusts to place them before the confer
ence.
It has been settled this morning that
Bryan will have the last word tonight.

Photograph Taken OF the Mexican
School This Afternoon.


The American flag is floating in the
breeze from the Mexican school today
and each side of the main entrance on
the north side of the building is pro-
fusely decorated with the national col
ors of both tbs United States and Mex
leo.
When HERALD reporter called at
the school this afternoon the decora-
tiens were in progress under the direc-
tion Of Prof. Lopez. After this work
was finished the pupils in the school
were to be grouped outside the build
ing and q photograph taken.
This was being done at the request
of Consul Mallen, who will send the
picture to President Diaz to show him
how the authorities in the United
States provide for the education of the
Mexican children.
Consul Mallen sent large supply of
fruit and candy for distribution among
the little folks and presented each of
the lady teachers With pocket
book.
The consul hoped to be able to get to
the school to address the children, but
had sent word that business might
prevent his coming at all.
There WAS no regular program OF
exercises and it was only yesterday
evening that the request was received
from Senior Mallen to prepare for the
picture. If he speaks to the children
this afternoon it is likely his theme
will be along the lines of Mexican in
and President Dlaz's birth
day.

BRYAN THE NOMINEE
And the Campaign Will Be
Fought On the Plat
form Of Anti-Im-
perialiSm. ~>

LONDON, Sept. Ex-senator Jones,
of Arkansas, chairman of the Demo
cratic National committee, today gave
your correspondent the following for
NAL statement, officially outlining the

lie statement since he left the United
bria on September 80 fully recovered
from his illness.
The senator said: ''When I return 1
shall resume active participation in
the national committee. Since going
abroad 1 have been in constant COM
munication with Governor Stone and
have agreed with him on whom to sp-
point on the finance, press and printing
subcommittees.I Il am chairman of these,
beside being the chairman at the ma
tional com mmittec.
"Statements that there have been
conflicts within the committee are alb
surd aud have not the slightest fourda-
tion. Reports of an early national
convention are also groundless.
''The democratic party in the next
presidential campaign will fight or the
platform of anti-imperialism, free sill
yer. anti-trusts and reduction of tariffs.
These are of prime Importance and 1
believe will be unequivocslly endorsed
by the convention. Other issues will
be met as they rise. personally. be-
lieve in giving the Filipinos absolute
self-government and in telling the
world to keep its hands off in the Phil
ippines.
civilian J. Bryan will surely be the
democratic nominee for president. .Goe-
bel is the regular nominee of the Ken
lucky democrats and therefore should
be supported. Goebel will win.
MCLEAN, by his splendid service to
the party in 1896. ought to carry every
thing in Ohio.''

story of "a wild Rox-

The story of Peter, the wild boy" is
told on the brass erected to his mem
ory in the parish church of North
church, Hertfordshire, England The
celebrated Doctor Arbuthnot made a
special study of Peter but failed to
make anything of him, and when the
novelty of his appearance had worn
OFF and he had been induced to wear
the garb of civilization, he was pen
stoned off and sent to the village of
Northchurch. But he retained his yag-
abond habits and gave his guardian
much trouble by wandering off to dis
tant counties. AS he could not speak
or make himself understood of stran-
gers, this propensity for straying
brought him into trouble, and he was
sometimes arrested as an obstinate
beggar who would not give an account
OF himself. Thus it was that a brass
collar, engraved with his name and
address, was fitted to his neck He is
said to have been fond of music. and
he used to dance to express his delight
at the sound of musical instruments.
His tombstone is still standing near
the doorway of Northchurch church
When he died he was Y years old
