A gentleman named Pence. living in Chi
cago, gives warning that he believes that the
Torrens land act which has been upheld
by the supreme court of Illinois, will shortly
be dead letter. Not over hundred per-
sons will register their titles in the first year
Mr.. Pence declares, and then the number
will rapidly decrease until nothing is left for
the examiner to do but to play golf
The utteraLces OF him that girdeth On his

as those of him that putteth 1t of. An
Englishman who has held high political and
commercial position for twenty years in Au-
stralia where the Torrens system originated

The register general of New South Wales
says: 1.-THE popularity Of the act is so well
assured. and the public generally have become
accustomed to our certificates. and have
such faith In their undoubted value, as in
many instances to decline accepting prop
erty unless the title is registered under what
is universally called Torrens' system"
Another New South Wales man says: 1.-The

passy here. Lieut. Sims testified that the shin
brokers' signed contract at midnight. on
april Il, to deliver the GOLFERS for G5. 900
sterling. He added that the contract stipu
lated that they were to be delivered as soon
as possible and said the ship brokers prom
lsed verbally that one of them should be ready
10 san in twenty-four hours, and the other
IN forty-eight hours. The lieutenant gave the
brokers' check for 300 at midnight. hut
they failed to deliver the ships before the
neutrality proclamation of April 26. and
earned they were unable to get the Golfers
ready in that time. Continuing Lieut.. Sims
says the check beat the record in going
through the clearing house, as the brokers
secured the money at noon on the morrow
lnt1mat1ng that they cashed the check ex
pectlng war. and that they did not intend to
deliver the Golfers. Sims further testified that
the golfers were to have joined the United
states fleet at Key West.

The defense tomorrow will be that the

Thirteenth May Remain at Manila
ACTIVE Service for Fifteenth.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-"Is it the inten-
ton of the war department. Gen. Corbin was
asked today. ito countermand the orders for
the return of the volunteers?"
eff the situation is reported officially to be
as critical as it appears" he replied 1T
would be extremely unwise to bring back any
of the men. If Gen. Otis considers that the
return of the volunteers may ieopardize
American interests, none of the troops will
be brought home at present. But the re-
turn orders have not yet been countermand-
ed"
This means that the Thirteenth Minnesota
may stay in the PHILIPPINES for an indefinite
period.
Senator Davis called at the war department
today to ascertain what disposition would be
made of the Fifteenth Minnesota. This regi-
ment is now in camp at Augusta, and is
considered by the war department one of the
finest In the service. 1t is probable that the
Fifteenth will be designated for service in
Cuba or Porto Rico. The regiment is chafing

Dr.. parkhurst and the Saloons.

That remarkably innocent New York
divine, the Rev. Charles H. Parkhurst,
ID. D., has made another astounding
discovery as the result of his personal
Investigations. DR.. Parkhurst seems
rather TO enjoy the method Of personal
investigation into what a good many
people classify as the evils of society.
A few years ago he astounded the ma
tiySs, so to speak, by his pulpit confess
sions concerning scenes of which he
was an eyewitness in some of the
places of the lowest repute on Manhat-
tan island. He made these observations
the basis of his famous crusade against
vice and the police department of the
metropolis.
Moved, apparently, by Bishop Pot
ter's announcement at a recent tenn
perance gathering that the saloon is "a
social necessity" Dr. Parkhurst an
pears to have started forth with a
view of confirming the truth or falsity
OF the statement upon the foundation
OF actual visitation to the saloons
themselves. Just what he called for
and partook Of end just what were the
NAi'i'OiiHioiio VI the jag ne acquired as
result of his rounds, ne fails to indi-
cate.
But that he was tickled to the point
OF qualification by what he saw is mada
evident by the following glowing sum-
mary of which he delivered himself in
presumably sober condition. This is
what he said:

The Trusts and Cuban Tobacco Lands

Already the hand Of monopoly is
reaching out toward Cuba. We have
had in this country a tobacco trust
for several years, and It's certificates
are a speculative feature in the New
dictate is, it is said, being organized
with a view to securing control Of al
the tobacco plantations in Cuba. 1t
happens, however, that these are held
and operated by a large number Of
small owners, and the promoters Of
this new trust scheme are meeting
with some difficulty because the Gu
ban planters do not, in the first place,
take kindly to the idea Of concentrate
ing the industry under one controlling
interest, and, secondly, as they rely
upon the product of their limited hold
ingS for support in life, they place
fabulous prices upon their lands. OF
course, if the syndicate can make any
progress in the way of purchases from
the weaker planters, it will not require
a long time for them to drive the 9TH
ers to the wall.
This incident affords a double object
lesson to the student of the trust the
Dry. as well as others. In the first
place it reveals the spirit Of greed
which has already sprung into exist
ence as the result of our pretentious
action, as a nation, in attempting to
free Cuba from Spanish rule. In the
second place, 1t illustrates the power
of the trust to paralyze Individual en-
deavor and industry. A more simple
example Of the operation Of this ne
farious principle could not be sup
piled.
There is nothing so necessary to the
development of Cuba as the industry
Of the people Of that island and the
growth Of the spirit of dependence
among them. 1t is only by such process
that good citizenship is to be
insured. If the representatives of
American monopoly are to be allowed
to enter that island and secure a hold
upon it's industrial possibilities by COM
binations of capital. the people must
degenerate even below their present
level and become practically slaves
when the pretense is glaringly put for
ward that the whole purpose of this
great and good government Is to give
them their liberty and to elevate their
manhood.
Cuba is fruitful island, with a fer
tility of soil unsurpassed in this hemi-
sphere, if not in the world There must
always continue to be a thriftless class
untitled to rise beyond the position of
ordinary field or mill laborers. But the
plans of the monopolists, if they shall
prove successful, must inevitably add
to this element, and thus suppress the
energies of the more aspiring among
their numbers. This evil is one which
ought to be circumvented in it's de-
signs if there is any power to overtake
it in it's operations before it Is too late.

on Their Track.
NEW YORK. Jan. 25.-The secret service
authorities have received information regatd-
ing the movements and schemes of a band
of Italian counterfeiters now said to be on
their way to the United States. Several
Italians recently arrested boosted that the
spurious bills which they were caught en-
deavoring to pass were not the work of coun-
terfeiters in this country. but were msde
abroad. Acting upon this information the de-
tectives think they are on the right track and
arrests may be expected when the steam
ships Kaiser Wilhelm H.. Lord Warwick and
Malabar arrive here within the next few
days. Detachments of the band OF alleged
counterfeiters are believed to be aboard OF
each of tte steamers and there is a possibility
that they are bringing large supply of coun-
terfeit money with them.
