UNPRIRNDLY TO FILIPINos.

From that date the hostile feeling OF
the commander Of the American army
toward the FIipinos was expressed in
every WaJ by exclusion Of the Filipino
soldiers from the city, by demanding
thdt their lines should be Withdrawn
to a greater dis ance; by curtness OF
style in communications; by the infam
usslander that Aguinaldo had promised
to his soldiers the lootIng of Manila,
and by the arrest of several hundred
persons in Manila as parties to the
pretended looting conspiracy. From
that time or to February 4, the date OF
shooting the Filipino who crossed the
line. there was evidently settled pur
pose on the part Of General Merritt to
carry out the Presidents order TO subju-
gate the FllipInos.
Professor Worcester lends himself to
this sIsnder. He says: 1T IS a well
known fact that the insurgent army had
been promised the lnoting OF Manila -
Wei known to whom9 BV whom had
that promise been made? The insinua-
tion IS that Aguinaldo promised it. This
is inconsistent with the whole course Of
AgulnaldO and the Fihpinos, and IS
Contradicted by The fact that no attempt
was made BY General Merritt TO produce
proof OF the charge, and that all the
arrested persons we're dismissed without
trial.
Mr., Worcester charges that. after the
surrender OF Manila, Az uiualdo made
demand on Gen. Merritt for the royal
palace for bis own use, for share in the
public funds, and for all arms and
ammunition surrendered DY the Span
iards. # any such demand had been
made it would have been made in a
letter to Gen. Merritt, and would have
been published long ago. The probes
sor's charge is pure SANDER. 1t is one
Of many similar charges concocted about
that time. probably to cover the break
with Aguina!do, which had been decided
upon.
Another statement imputed to the
anti imperialsts is that the American
Government is paying a "sslary's Of
sro,o 10 the Archbishop of Manila In
this Mr.. Worcester IS mistaken.
PAY OF SLAVE HoLDINo SULTAN.
It IS true that the anti imperiallstH
have charged that salaries exceeding
that amount have been agreed 10 be
paid from the funds in the hands OF Mr..
Mckinley to the slave holding Sultan OF
the Sulu Islands, who is the husband OF
IL wives, quadruplinK Mr.. Roberts
number There IS money paid to the
archbishop-more than $4,000 year
but il is paid under pretext Of rent for
two monasteries.
Mr. Worcester advocates the creation
OF a large army. His pretext IS that
such al army is needed to protect the
natives from each other He omits
however, to specify what natives are tc
beuttacked, and what natives will attack
them. Nor does he specify any wal
which the natives have conducted
against each other in the Island OF LuEor
duri~g the last hundred years. So fai
as known there has been no such war
Iobject also to the emphasis constant,
laid by P ofessor Worcester on the fac
that here are 50 trib-s Of natives in III,
Philippines. The inference drawn b
healers and readers is that there ar
manv tribal reanizatlons IN the Islam

BOSTON SYMPATHY.
Extended to the Beers at a Monster
Mass Meeting.

Boston, Jan. 1S.-A large and demon
strative mass meeting to express sym
pathy with the Beers was held last
night in Faneuil hall. George F. Hollis,
ex-United States consul at Pretoria
and George Fred Williams, were the
pricipal speakers. Senator George F.
Hoar and Thomas Wentworth Higgin-
son, sent letters of sympathy. Mr.. Hoar
wrote from Washington: Il cannot
properly leave my duties here, even to
accept your most attractive invitation
to speak in Faneuil hall and to meet
the men who are to express their SYM
pathy with the gallant people, a repub-
lie of one million against an empire of
400 million who are making the best
fight since Thermopylae for cause as
holy as that for which LeonidaS and his
Spartans gave their lives"
Resolutions embodying the sentiment
of the meeting were adopted and copies
will be sent to President Mckinley,
President Kruger, President Stem. Dr.
Leyds and Joseph Chamberlain.
The resolutions declare: That in the
name of liberty sacred always on the
soil of Massachusetts, we condemn and
denounce the action of England-the
bully among the nationS-fresh from
the international peace conference at
The Hague, in arrogantly attacking the
sovereign rights of a free people and
attempting to enslave them.
THAT while we hope every moral
support possible will be afforded by the
people of free America to their brethren
of the South Africa republic in their he
roic struggle, we urge upon President
Mckinley and his cabinet the necessity
for the StricteSt construction of the
neutrality laws against England, so that
the power of the American republic
may not, even by silence, which may be
misrepresented or misunderstood be
thrown into the scale against the peo-

QUEER DISAPPEARANCE.
J. W. Trimble Leaves Behind Him
Fully $4,000 In Debts.

Rushville, Ind, Jan. 1S.-Develop-
ments today indicate that Alderman J.
w. Trimble, who left here a month ago
ostensibly on a business trip to Iowa,
has no intention of returning to his
family and hearth. His continued abb
sence caused his creditors to become
uneasy, and last evening attachments
aggregating $500 were fled against his
property here.
Trimble had been well to do, and
four months ago he borrowed $1,000
from local capitalists, his personal
note being given. He also borrowed
81, 500 from the State Bank of Boards
town and 81 900 from the State Savings,
Loan and Trust company of Quincy
For all of these loans his personal note
was accepted as security. He also
owed numerous small bills to local mer-
chants, and his total Indebtedness, it is
estimated, amounts to $4,000.
1t is learned that ten days ago he
was trying to dispose of several blocks
of real estate in Osceola, Ia. Mr. Trim
BILE owned two farms near this city,
which, developments today show. he
sold shortly before leaving. His cred
itors claim these transfers were not
valid, and as the land is worth $4,000,
a number of law suits will probably re-
suit. Trimble leaves a wife and two
daughters here, who have not received
any word from him since he left here,
on December 16.

DIES FOR HER CLUB.
Girl From Toledo, O., Expires In q
EoveI to Keep Pledge.

Toledo, O., Jan. 1S.-A remarkable
and almost incredible story is disclosed
by a letter found to-day among the
effects of a young woman who died in
a hovel near Cummings a week ago.
The girl was Hattie ThetfOrd, the
daughter of a prosperous mechanic OF
this city, and her body was found in
the shanty occupied by John Kales at
the town of Cummings, ten miles from
here. Death had resulted from con-
gestion of the lungs. The girl, 1t ap-
peared upon investigation, had been
taken there by a Voodoo doctor OF this
CITY at 2 o'clock one morning six weeks
ago Her parents did not know of her
whereabouts.
The letter discovered to-day pro-
claimed Miss Thetford a member of a
degradation club" of which there
were ten young women members. Ac-
cording to the written statement, rive
cast lots to see who would be the first
to carry out the pledges made. The
unlucky one was to leave home, friends,
everything, and become the most de-
graded Individual possible. We sat
about the table and dealt the cards.
The queen of hearts was the fatal
pasteboard, and it came to me-"
The paper goes on to relate how the
girl had sought a doctor in the slums
and had been taken to a miserable
howell at Kales. The county officials are
making an investigation of the case,
and Kales and the YoOdoo doctor are
under surveillance

A WOMAN'S EXAMPLE
Recommended to Other Farmers by
Census Director.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-The efforts
which Gov. Merriam, director of the
census, is making to induce farmers
to prepare statements of their opera
tons for the calendar year 1899 so that
they will be ready to reply definitely
and accurately to the enumerators
questions next June are bearing fruit.
Some farmers have forwarded copies
of statements to the census office ac-
companied by inquiries as to their COM
pleteness and correctness.
The first and one of the best of these
statements came from a woman who
operates farm in Pennsylvania on her
own account The paper shows not only
the acreage quantity and value of each
crop but contains also a good inventory
of live stock and q. detailed statement
of the quantity and value of the miscel-
laneous articles produced. If every far
mer would initiate this woman the re-
port of the twelfth census would be a
marvel of completeness and accuracy
and would also show the entire pro-
ductive strength of the United States
in food products

To Recall Samoan Treatv.

Washington, Jan. 1S.-In executive
session of the senate yesterday Senator
Jones (Arlx) moved to reconsider the
vote by which the Samoan treaty was
ratified. He based his motion upon a
statement which he said he had seen
in the press to the effect that the Amer
lean flag had already been run up on
the island OF Tutuila If this report
was true, he thought the senate should
know of the fact, and have an oppor-
tunity to deal with it in connection
with the treaty. Senator Frye re-
piled that the report to which Senator
Jones referred was without foundation.
No action was taken on the motion, but
it was decided to recall the treaty,
which had been forwarded to the presi-
dent with notice of the senates favor
action on it.

"PUT AND CALL" ENDED.
Chicago Board of Trade Agitated by
the Sudden Action.

Chicago, Jan. 18.-Excitement was at
a high pitch on the board of trade yes
terday over the stand taken by the
Warren directory against the put
and "call'' business. The antf-privilege
resolution adopted by the directory fol-
lowed by an announcement from the
gallery that the directors had held a
special meeting and instructed Secre-
tary Stone to read the resolution to
the membership, caused quite a stir, es-
pecially among those who have been
gaining a livelihood principally from the
privilege" business. Many traders
cheered the announcement.
Many of the leading houses wired
their customers that they would not
take any more privilege business,
while quite q number declared openly
that as long as any privilege trading
was done around the board of trade
they intended to have share of it.
An ex-director said: Il am willing to
quit the put and calf business-in
fact, I would like to get rid of it, but
1 want the others in the trade to quit,
too. Without it we doubtless would
have better markets all around, wider
fluctuations and quicker action for
speculation"
The put and call room at % Sherman
street, was opened as usual after the
board of trade closed last night, but
none but members were admitted. The
body was reOrganiZed and the nominal
name 'MlllerS' Exchange" adopted. 1t
was decided to keep the room open
from 10 to IL a. m. and from lis to 8
o'clock p. m. on all days save Satur-
days, when the afternoon session will
be held from u to / 80 O'Clock. All con-
tracts will be settled in the Millers' Ex-
change instead of on the floor of the
board of trade. There will be no grain
put" or cali on the exchange floor
and no money will be displayed there.
One of the leading lights in the Millers'
Exchange said that it was the inten-
ton of its members to comply with the
board of trade rules to the letter in so
far as doing business around the build
ing is concerned.
1t was said last night that the Millers'
Exchange is to have an arbitration
board and it was also limited that it will
have it's own clearing house in case the
board of trade decides to clear none of
the trades made through privileges
| business.
President Warren was asked whether
he intended to make a test case out of
the privilege" question and he said
| that the new administration would take
| definite steps in the matter soon.
This is not a spasmodic move" he
said, but the fight will be carried to
L the end -

A PROTEST COMES.
England and Germany Against the
Proposed American Nicaragua
Canal.

Chicago, Jan. 1S.-A special to the
Times Herald from Washington says:
Both Great Britain and Germany have
formally served notice that they will
protest against fertilization of the Mic
aragua canal if that waterway be con-
structed by the American government
These notices have been filed during the
last three days orally by Ambassadors
Pauncefote and Won Hollehen. They
viii be followed later, if necessary, by
formal or written protests. 1t is be-
neved both France and Russia and per-
haps other maritime powers will join
in the protest if the United States per-
sists in constructing the canal upon the
basis provided in the bill reported from
the house committee on Interstate and
foreign commerce last Friday and
agreed to, with some amendments, by
the senate committee on irter-oceanic
canal yesterday.

Fear of Plague at Honolulu Is Abat-

Chicago, Jan. ,1s,-F. W MacFarlane. a
banker of Honolulu, arrived last night on
a visit to this city. Mr.. MacFarlane. in
speaking of the bubonic plague in Homo
lulu, said he had no fear of its spread
ing. The disease has been confined al
most entirely to Chinese quarters.
THE Celestials have not lived in clean
~ quarters and on that account the
plague got a foothold" said Mr.. Mac
Farlane. 1.-THE tenements in which the
Cinnamon were domiciled have been
burned by order of the authorities. how
ever, since I left Honolulu and the sani-
tary conditions of the city have been inn
proved on that account Buildings con-

stead and the chief menace to the health
of Honolulu citizens will be removed.
