the Indianapolis sentinel, that is becoming
somewhat portentous Ia the agreement of our
government in the treaty to settle all claims
OF American citizens against Spain that have
arisen since the beginning OF the late In
surrection In Cuba. Over 2s,oo0. 900 OF such
claims are now on tile In the state department
and no one knows how many marc are COM
Ing. And no one can say with certainty when
the late Instruction In Cuba" began, ii
has been going on In como shape for thirty
years or more, and during all TINT time al
legged American citlzens have been claiming
that their plantations and other property was
being unjlistiy seized by the government.
Some of these claims have been settled, but
many more have not.

The State law of Minnesota declares that all
usurtous contracts are void. The supreme
court Of the United States has declared this
State law valid on the ground that the Federal
court would not interfere to set aside the
policy OF tho State when that policy did not
conflict with the Federal constitution. This
case upon which this decision was given Is
this: trust company made a lean OF sl97U
to Theodore NJ. Krumeeig and wife, taking as
security ten notes OF $500 each and mortgage
oil property IN Duluth. The borrowers paid
$3.50 on tho notes, then repudlated the debt
and sued for cancellation of the notes ana

by way Of explanation and in Jus
tice 70 the Colonel, I will go on To say
that he had just dropped into" Aiken
that night, and. seeing a mob marching
down the main street, and being dc
cursed with peculiar facility for find :
ing trouble. he ran out Of the hotel and
Joined the mob. neither knowing nor
caring what might be the matter.
After bowling himself hoarse and
jGStinE with the multitude until ne "a
sore in every rib it became known To
the Colonel that the mission of the mob
was TO lynsh a negro. who was incs.r-
cerated in the city's Bastile.
Now. the Colonel had always been
bitterly opposed to the principle of yncn
Law. 50 he-imediately went over to he
sheriff's party and aided in preventing
the mob from gaining access to the Jail.
On his way back to the 'hgtcl he was
recognized and set upon by d party OF
the bahied lynchers, and. but for the
timely interference of the police, the
Colonel would have been tickled almost
to death with feathers that night.
AS it was. he admits that when his
assaiIants laid hands upon him and
started down the boulevard he felt him
self so near the city of the New Jeru::l-
lem that in his minds eye he could see
the come Of the courthouse building.

TO BE APPLIED TO MEN-OF-WAH
OF THE UNITED STATES.
Experiments to be Carried ON by Naval
Vessels Anoat-Results From the
British Naval Maneuvers.

WASHINGTON, August 21.-Action
has been taken by the Navy Depart
ment looking to the purchase of instru-
ments for experimenting with wireless
biography on board American ships of
war. Considerable secrecy is thrown
around the work of the department in
connection with wireless biography,
not because there is any desire to keep
the public i'm the dark, but because of
the experimental state in which the in
ventiOn rests. Great attention has been
given to the subject by the French and
Italian navies and the work of the Brit
ish Admiralty in connection with Mar
conf has shown the value of the inven-
ton. Lieutenant John Colwell, naval at
taChe of the United States Legation in
London, for some time has been care
fully following the MarConi experiments
and fully reporting upon them to Rear
Admiral Bradford, chief of the bureau
of equipment, upon whose recommended
ton the department has instructed
Lieutenant Colwell to consult with Sig
nor Marconi regarding the purchase of
instruments and their installation on
board of men of war. As soon as the in
struments are received active expert
ments between vessels and between
vessels and shore will commence. 1t was
with a great deal of interest that the
department officials followed the use of
the Marconi system during the British
maneuvers.
The cruiser Niobe of the British fleet
had on board the Marconi instruments
and Signor MarcOni i'm person. The
latter will visit the United States next
month as announced in today's London
cable.

WITHOUT INSPECTION.

SAN FRANCISCO August 25.-The
bark Martha Davis finished loading for
the Hawaiian Islands on Wednesday
with a general cargo for Welch & Com
pan. but when application for clear
ance was made at the Custom House it
was refused, as no certificate of inspec-
ton from the United States Local In
spector of Hulls was presented.
Welch & Company's broker called on
Captain Bolles at the inspectors office
to arrange if possible for temporary
certificate, so that the cargo might not
disturbed, but the inspector explained
that it was impossible to grant a cetti-
ficate until the inspection was made,
and that no temporary certificate was
provided for by Federal law. 1t would
be necessary, he said, to break into the
cargo in order to inspect the timbers
and planking down to the keelson, some
thing to which WEIGH & Company OBJ
jected to strenuously, since it involved
much work and delay. Yesterday ar
rangements were made with the Gus

vessel was built in East Boston twenty

HAS FAITH IN M'K1NLEY.
Schurman says President Can Be
Trusted to settle Philippine Ques-

ithaca, N. Y, Aug. Reconnaissance
yesteray. Since leaving Manila he has,
he says, steadily refused to discuss
Philippine affairs, although he has been
besieged by reporters everywhere one
Chicago reporter having gone as far
west as the Rocky Mountains to inter
view him He makes this statement:
First, the United States having as
sumed sovereignty over the Philippine
islands by virtue of a treaty of peace
with Spain, the chief executive of the
republic is engaged in establishing that
Sovereignty The issue today is not a
commercial one although the natural
resources of the Philippine islands are
of great value, and wait only American
capital for their development. Nor is
the question one of political expediency
or party politics. although in it's coll
lateral branch there may be aspects up
on which political parties may properly
divide, but the question today is neither
one of commercial advantage nor of
partisan politics. It is purely moral
question. The vital issue is the honor
of the nation, the protection of the loyal
Filipinos and the fulfillment of our OBJ
legations to the nations of the world in
volved in our acceptance of sovereign
/ ty.
Second, the means and agencies for
the accomplishment Of this end must be
determined by the president, and it is
we'll to bear in mind that the president
understands the situation better than
any one else can possibly do, inasmuch
as he is in receipt of Information from
a variety of sources, civil and military
and has the judgment of experts upon
| the facts reported. have no doubt the
president will soon effect a solution OF
| the Philippine problem which will be
entirely satisfactory to the American
people. To his craftsmanship and tried
ability we may intrust the issue with
| perfect condolences"

brewery Aids Dewey FUND.

Milwaukee, Aug. 22.-The Milwaukee
Brewers Association at its meeting
voted $1,000 to the Dewey home fund
and $500 to the relief fund for the hurri-
cane sufferers of Porto Rico.
The subject was brought UP in the
form of report by one of the members.
The members of the association briefly
discussed the subject. and it was unani-
mously decided to pass resolution to
vote $1,000 for the adlniral's Washing
ton home. The money will be for
warded to Washington at once.
| While the members We're making
subscriptions 1t was suggested that 1t
would be appropriate also to do some
timing for the Porto Rican sufferers. It
was therefore decided to vote $500 for
that purpose.
The Pabst brewery has won out In the
lconhict with the striking coopers. The
Halter finding they had no support from

the union would obey and had called
off the boycott on the Pabst brewery.
