Another Army Scandal.

The San Francisco Examiner says that
the most sensational report of military
board of inquiry ever sent to the war de-
partment from that city has been forward
ed to Washington from the headquarters by
Major General Shafter. The document
consists of nearly 100 typewritten pages
and contains the severest kind of criticism
of the methods employed by officers in
charge of the sick soldiers who returned
from the Philippines on the transports
Tartar and Newport on Oct. 10. Upon
Major Rafter, the surgeon of the goth Kan
sas Volunteers, who came back on the
Tartar, the heaviest censure is laid. Col.
Metcalfe of the same regiment, who COM
manded the ship; Gen. Funston being only
a passenger, is indirectly referred to.
Many other officers are given hard meas
ure of criticism, but their names are being
withheld until the war department sets fit
to make known the details of the report.
Maj. Rafter says the men on the trans
port had all the attention possible, consid-
ering the over-crowded condition of the
transport, which carried 1400 men, when
it had regular accommodations for only
ISL.

Twenty Striking Italians

Made a Denomination In stOckbridEe
and wounded a Ross Named Hayes---
Eight Deputy sherIRs Called Out and
10 Italians Arrested.
About 100 Italians employed on the
White River Electric railroad became riot
GUS in Stockbridge Friday, believing that
their boss was cheating them The Italians
we're known only by number, and they
we're paid with checks which we're honored
in Bethel. Some of the men finished work
and went to Boston, where payment was
refused on the checks. These men return
ed to Stockbridge and melted their fellow
countrymen to strike. A mob armed with
axes, knives, shovels, ETC., met Rev. Will
mond Warner, pastor of the Congregation
al church, and believing him to be a boss
they surrounded his carriage and made
threatening demonstrations. He convinced
them of their error, however, and they al
lowed him to depart in peace. Later the
Italians met a boss named Hayes, and dur
ing an alteration he was hit over the head
with an axe. He was not seriously wound
ed, but he made complaint against sever
al of the men, and 10 were arrested
Eight deputy sheriffs were called out. 1t
is believed there will be no further trouble.

NEWS IN BRIEF.
AguinaldO a Tyrant.

FiIIpInos who Are in Philadelphia Say
He Fools His Poor Ignorant Follow
ers.
Two Filipinos have arrived in Philadel-
phia on the bark Calburga, which reached
that port with cargo of hemp from Ma
Mia, after a voyage of 14S days. Their
names are Coferino and Morris Cannon.
Both express their extreme hatred for
Aguinaldo. In speaking of the war in the
Philippine Islands Coferino said;
The Filipinos are losing ground and do
not think the war will last much longer.
Aguiualdo is a tyrant. He fools his poor,
ignorant follow ers and makes them believe
if the Americans win and get possession OF
the island they will be treated worse than
they were by the Spaniards. Many oil
them still think they are fighting the span
iards and do not know any better.
When there are any signs of weakening
among the troops Aguinaldo whips them
back into line by threatening to kill them.
He and his lieutenants have thousands OF
Filipinos who would be good and peaceful
citizens if they were not forced to fight SO
as to help him get money, and power. In
Manila and other places where the Ameri-
cans are in control everything is quiet and
peaceful. People like the open hearted way
in which the government is carried on, and
are anxious to see Aguinaldo crushed.

Three men broke into the Charlemont
post-office early Monday morning, making
the third post-office in the county to be en-
tered within few weeks. Tools were
stolen from the blacksmith shop of Charles
Carpenter, The Office is in the store of A.
l.. Tyler & Son. Stamps were taken from
the post-offiee and letters scattered around
the building From the store a small sum
of money and various articles of merchan-
disc were carried off. The safe, which
was unlocked, was ransacked and its con-
tents scattered around the store. The
money drawers were broken out. The
doors of the tenement over the store occu-
pied by Mr., and Mrs. George Mahew were
fastened in a way to guard against pursuit
from that quarter The Mayhews heard a
noise below, but it was not loud enough to
disturb them. 1t appeared that one man
stood ON guard with handful of rocks in
one hand and a sandbag in the other ready
to knock any one down who might happen
along. 1t is probable that gang is work
ing the post offices through the county.

Nothing to Do With Politics.

Dewey's Friends Say the AdmIrRrs
Mind Is Fully Made Up---May Make
Explicit Statement.
1t is assumed by those who watch politi-
cal developments closely that Admiral Dew
ey's approaching marriage will bring the
talk about running him for president to an
end. 1t is thought that the fact that the
future Mrs. Dewey is a member of the Ro-
man Catholic church will have this effect.
1t is known that Admiral Dewey himself of
late has been even more emphatic than
ever before in disclaiming any ambition to
be president, and his closest friends say
that he has made up his mind fully to have
nothing to do with politics under any con-
ditions. He has said within a few days
that if the talk should be revived he should
come out with an explicit statement which
would leave nothing open to misinterpreta-
ton, and which would prevent any further
discussion of his availability as a candidate.
The sword presented to Admiral Dewey by
Congress was removed Friday from the Of
fee of the secretary of the navy, where it
has been on exhibition for the last few
weeks, to the residence of the Admiral.

output of the Klondlls.

No one will ever know exactly how much gold
was taken from the Klondike fields the past
season. The estimate ranges from $40, 100000 to
S2b, 900, 900. Since the English government Inn
posed a royalty of 10 per cent, the miners have
adopted all sorts of ruses TO evade the law. 1t is
rather dificult operation to dodge taxes, but it
is more dificult still to dodge bad cold and the
grip at this time Of year. When the system is
weakened by such attacks, and the blood be-
comes thin and impoverished, the best medicine
TO take is Hostetter's Stomach Btters. This
remedy builds up the system Besides regulating
digestion, It overcomes constipation in a per-
fectly natural way. 1t is good for the kidneys
and liver, too, stimulating each of these organs
into the proper performance of their functions

Riding the Old Hobby.
From the New York Press. I

A few days before the defeat of Mr.. Will
liam j. Bryan in the last Presidential cam
paign-that is, on Nov. l, lS96-the mon
ey in circulation in the United States was
81, 1927, 055, GA. At that time Mr.. Bryan
was shouting necessarily that the only
thing that would put money in circulation
was free coinage. On Nov. /, 1890, the
amount Of money in circulation was ST.
963, 7l6,l4S. This is 1886, 660, 534 more
than on Nov. l, 1896. But Mr.. William
j. Bryan is still talking the same non
sense.
