MADELINE WRECKED.
The Grow Is Probably in the Hands of
the CannibaIs.

Philadelphia. Nov. 7.-Captain Little
hales, of the British steamer kurdistan,
which arrived here from the west coast
of South America, brings information re-
garding the probable fate of the miss
ing French steamship Madeline, which
sailed from Valparaiso for Havre and
disappeared completely. From inform
alton gathered at the Kurdistan's
stopping points there appears to be lit
tie doubt that the Madeline was wreck
ed near the Pacific side of the straits
of Magellan and that her crew was cap
tured by the Patagonia cannibals
From lights seen burning at night Cap
tain Littlehales thinks the crew sought
refuge at Otter point, a short distance
outside of the straits, where the Kurd-
istan anchored on the night of Sept
IA, on her way to Philadelphia
Whether they were signal lights for
assistance he could not tell as he did
not know of the loss of the vessel until
he had passed that point. While the
Kurdistan wasat Valparaiso an Amer
lean sailor named Stetson boarded the
vessel and stated that he had left the
Madeline because of her unseaworthi-
ness.

At this point State Treasurer Collins
appeared in the court room with the
famous stack of bills and one Of fine
packages was submitted to Mr.. white
sire and identified by him as the one
given him by Mr.. Clark. He said the
envelope and bills remained in his pos
session for about a week and he then
turned them over to the legislatures
committee. He did not know what
amount of money there was in the en-
velope when it was given to him, except
that Mr.. Welcome had said he would
put $4,000 into it. When the legisla-

envelope and bills were offered in evil
dence and Mr. Whiteside was asked to
count the money, which he did, and
said the 10 $1,000 bills were there. The
money was then returned to the state
treasurer and he carefully counted 1t
again.

during which he was undecided, and

finally told me he would allow the

Mr. Welcome about the matter and
told him what Senator myers had
agreed to do. Welcome said he was

ting words, referring briefly to his bril-
liant and useful career and the profound

While Senator Hanna and his hench-
men, who advocate the cause of the
trusts solely because their hands are
in the trust grab bag, and because
they are fed on the stock of these COM
binations as a bonus for such advo-
cacy, as proclaiming far and wide that
trusts are a necessity, that the work
ingmen cannot exist without them, and
that the country cannot hope to be
prosperous unless they flourish, one
feels an air of genuine relief when he
reads such utterances as those recent
ly made by ex-senator Washburn, of
Minnesota. who speaks from an honest
and unbiased point of view. In very
recent interview the senator said:
"The present situation to the good
citizen. the good Republican and the
man who loves his country, is really
alarming" said Mr.. Washburn, "and
1t is more largely owing to the rapid
formation of what is called the trust
than any other agency. This trust

How to End the War.

From New York World.
Who began the war in the Philip
pines is a matter of less consequence
than how to end it. But when the
president says, as he did at Pittsburg,
"The first blow was struck by the in
surgents," and his newspapers defend
ers repeat that statement daily, 1t is
we'll to rememebr the contrary state
ment made by General Otis in report
to the president dated Feb, 4, 1893. He
said:
"Firing upon the Filipinos and the
killing of one of them by the Ameri-
cans, leading to returning fire. The
chief insureent leaders did not wish
to open hostiities at that time"
A letter from an American volunteer
has been published in which he claim
ed the honor of firing the shot on our
picket line which brought on the first
engagement.
But be this as II may, the stopping
J of the war, which Admiral Dewey ana
General Ludlow unite in deploring, is
now the main concern Of all true
Americans. A way to do this with
honor is suggested by an army officer
at Manila in letter to The Evening
Post, which vouches for him as one
| who fought all through the civil war
and the Cuban campaign" He says
of the conflict in the Philippines:
"This war is wicked war, and is be-
ing waged in wicked way. All the
blood that has been shed since May l
1898, is on the head Of some one, and
will rise up in the judgment against
him."
And he advises that we say to the
Filipinos:
1--WE destroyed the Spanish feet and
drove the Spanish army from Manila
as war measure against Spain; tha
having been accomplished, we became
responsible for the protection of life
and property on these islands. We die
not then believe you were capable o
doing this. We have since learned tina
Admiral Dewey was right when he sai'
you were far superior to the Cuban
and capable of self government. w
desire that you shall establish gov
ernment that will protect life and prop
erty. We will aid you in doing this, an,
wnen you have accomplished it we vii
withdraw"

The Death of vice President Hobart
Announced In Both Houses-Ad-
tournment Taken ont of Re-
spcct to His Memory.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Enormous
crowds witnessed the opening scenes in
the house yesterday. The principal inter-
est centered in the disposition of the case
of Mr.. Roberts, the Mormon representa-.
tive from Utah. Those who anticipated
a. sensational denoucment were disap.
pointcd. The programme outlined by the
Republican leaders at their conference on
Friday night was partially carried out.
The objection to the administration OF
the oath to Mr.. Roberts was entered by
Mr.. Taylor of Ohio, as predicted, and ne
stepped aside without protest. except to
ask if by doing so he waived any of his
rights. To this the speaker responded III
the negative. .,
Mr.. Roberts was the observed of all
observers throughout the day. His daugh-
ter sat in the gallery and watched the
proceedings from beginning to end The

Induction into office, the appointment of
the usual committees to wait upon the
president. the seat drawing contest, with
the usual amusing features. went oil
without n hitch The only other feature
out of the ordinary was the adoption of
the Reed rules for the present congress.
The Democrats knew it was futile TO
more than protest against the adoption
of these rules after the Republicans had
decided upon this course in caucus. and
the debate upon the resolution to adopt
them was very brief. They were adopted
by strict party vote.

Majority.

WASHINGTON, Dec. G.-The CALLER
les of the house were almost as crowded
as on the opening day, the debate OR the
Roberts ease being the attraction. Tn
reading Of the presidents message was
completely overShadowcd by the uniycr
sal interest in the disposition Of the case
Of th1 Mormon representative from Utah.
'Ehe fact that three-fourths or the spec.
tators in the galleries were women was
particularly noticeable and was Il taugi-
Ole manifestation of the interest Of the
taig seN in the result.
Speaker Henderson called the members
80 ordcr NJ prose in their places, Mr..
Roberts included, and stood with bowed
heads while the chaplain delivered his
invocation. After the reading Of the
Journal had been concluded Mr.. Cannon,
from the committee appointed to wait on
the president, reported that the president
would communicate in writing. Imme-
diately thereafter Major Pruden, the
presidents executive clerk, announced

TREASON REWARDED.
A Democratic Dcserter Gets Fat

A Democratic Deserter Gets Fat
job From Mckinley,
From Shenandoah News.
The announcement that President
Mckinley has appointed William ID.
Bynum, of Indiana, a member of the
board of general appraisers, at a SAL
ary of $1,000 a year, possesses special
interest to Democrats throughout the
country, and may even interest some
Republicans.
The name of Mr. Bynum is familiar
to active Democrats everywhere. He
served five terms in congress as a
Democrat from Indiana, but did moth
ing during his service in the house to
attract public attention or make him
famous. It was after the Chicago con-
vention, in 1896, broke the fetters that
had for more than a quarter of CEN
tury held the Democracy In bondage 10
the money power, that Mr.. Bynum
came into prominence. He was lead
ing spirit In organizing the gold Demo-
cratic convention subsequently held in
Indianapolis, which nominated Palmer
and Buckner. the decoy ducks that
were intended to draw away Demo-
cratic votes from Bryan and Sewell,
and thus elect Mckinley and Hobart.
Mr.. Bynum was chairman of the ma
tional committee of the gold Demo-
cratic organization, and as such la
bored zealously for the election of Mr.
Mckinley. All the gold Democrats
who could be trusted to do so were ad-
vised to vote the Republican ticket
straight, while those who were simple
enough to be gulled into supporting
the decoy ducks, but would not swal-
low Mckinley, were left to vote for
Palmer and Buckner.
That there was perfect understand
ing between the Republicans and the
gold Democrats no longer admits of Q
doubt. President Mckinley recog'
nizes the value of the services rendered
the Republican organization by Mr.
Bynum and those associated with hin
in the Palmer and Bucllner organiza
tion, and rewards the treachery to De
mocracy by the appointment of Bynun
to a place where he will receive $1,000
year from the public treasury fol
