Sixteen insane soldiers in Il darkened

Philippines. and We're going as fast as
steam could take them to 4 living death
at the L. S hospital in the city of
Washington. Fine, stalwart fellows
they were, at least most Of them. They
were unshaven and begrimed with dirt
from their long journey through the
heat and dust of the Alkali deserts. A
few were gaunt, and the vacant stare
told only too plainly that Gods image
had beeu brought down to the reason
less state of the mere animal creation.
\ vigilant regular watched and waited
on the poor fellows who laughed and
jibbered like apes inside the darkened
ear. Very few We're above 21 years
old, and it wrenched the heartstrings to
see some of the young fellows talking
to themselves, about home and
mother" and ,he 'boys and girls" that
once grouped themselves III the ''old
nest" that they in this world should
see no more forever Then others We're
violent, and TO prevent tragedy their
guardians manacled them. and strap
ped them to a seat, where they moaned
like some mad creature in its agony.

PNEUMATIC TUBE METHODS
Members of Congress Approached
to Secure Their Infuence-Ex-
pOsure Results In De-
feat OF Bill.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The house
today put its heel upon the mail pneu-
matte system now in operation in New
York, Boston and Philadelphia, and If its
action stands the whole service will be
crushed out. The postoffice committee
had recommended an increase of the ap-
preparation for this service from S225, 900
to- S725,000. The proposed increase was at
tackled by the appropriations committee
under the leadership of Mr. Moody
(Mass.), with such vigor and success that
in the end the house voted, by 70 to Co. TO
strike the entire appropriation from the
bill.
Mr.. Moody created a sensation by TIE
manner in which he assailed the methods
of the pneumatic tube company, and the
direct charge that former member of
congress, who had beer member of the
appropriations committee had been a
holder of the stock of the company. He
charged that a block Of stock had beer
sent as a New Years gift to q near rela-
tive of another member of congress, but
to the credit Of the member, he said, the
dishonoring gift had been returned to the
sender by the next mail.
Although the tube service was highly
commended by other members, these
revelations transformed the sentiment nf
the house. which has several times voted
Tor the tube service, into decisive ma
1ority against it's continuation in any
form.

The watch was presented to the admiral
in neat address by Congressman James
T. Cleary. Miss Mae Harris Arson, ed
itor of the Minneapolis Journal Junior,
who conducted the raising of the fund,
was present, and also Archie Cadzow,
the originate of the idea, who received
from the admiral a hearty expression of
thanks for this beautiful tribute of their
esteem from the little people of the
Northwest Each Of the donors holds a
neat certificate of an equal share in the
gift.
THE PRESENTATION
Mr.. McCleary, in making the presenta-
ton speech, said in part:
| This, then, is the gift of children It
| is the tribute of those who are looking
forward with bright anticipations of the
| future, from those whose records are
| yet to be wrought out, to him whose rec
ord is a matter of pride to his country
men, and whose fame is secure. 1t is
the tribute of possibilities to achievement.
You may well regard it, sir, as matter
of special satisfaction and wholesome
pride to be known and honored by chill
dren. Their plaudits are sincere and I'M
selfish And the fact of being known and
hOnOred by the cnllQren OF the ldnQ is In
itself the highest evidence of honorable
fame. There are few men great enough
to be named in a common school history.
Brief indeed, sir, will that history Of
your country be which will hereafter omit
your name"
Admiral Dewey, in reply, said:
II value the praise of the children and
the affectionate enthusiasm they show,
and have never been more touched than
now So long as the children love me l
am unassailable, for they are unerring in
their intentions and know when they are
loved
THAT fifty thousand little ones should
make me fifty thousand good wishes as
they bestowed their pennies for this
watch is the proudest triumph Of my life.
When 1 hear it tick or see its hands
move 1 shall say to myself, I&w rich
you are! Fifty thousand innocerN kind
ly friends are with you,' and mf heart
will swell with joy and gratitude
land you, my dear young friend, will
tell them for me that 1 shall wear the
watch and feel it shall be a talisman
against all sorrow and a guarantee of
happiness and success"

GIFT OF TIE CHILDREN
FIFTY THOUSAND LITTLE ONES IN
THE NORTHWEST GIVE AID.
MIRAL DEWEY A WATCH
WAS A MINNESOTA IDEA
Hero of Manila Is Greatly Affected
by the Tribute of Unselflsh
and Sincere Young
Admirers.

WASHINGTON, April 25. - Admiral
Dewey received delegation at Beauvoir,
his country home, today, which repre-
scented $4,000 children in the Northwest,
and presented to him as a token of the
regard and esteem of the donors beauti-
full gold watch and fob.
About six months ago, Archie Cadzow,
of Rosemont, Mimi, suggested to the
Minneapolis Journal that the children Of
the Northwest raise money by to %
cents subscriptions, with which to pur-
chase a watch for Admiral Dewey. The
suggestion met with favor, but in order
that there might be no difference of in
terest in the matter, and that all might
share alike, 1t was decided to restrict the
contributions to a gift of one cent.
The collection of the money, which
came from several Northwest states, in
volved so much work that the Journal
was obliged to apply to the newspapers
of that section. One hundred and seven
ty-five of them Joined in the movement
and assisted in raising the money and re-
ceipting for 1t by publishing the names
Of the contributors. All these names, to-
gether with story of the enterprise,
made up of newspaper clippings, and
prepared in the form of a beautiful book,
accompanied the watch.
The watch is twenty-five karat gold,
bearing the monogram &c. DE- In gold
enamel on the front Of the case and the
admirals flag in blue and white enamel
on the back. On the inside Of the case
is an inscription of the names of the

Dor and the inscription

Haven, and others. Representatives
Barholdt, of Missouri, and Rupert, of
New York, who have taken an active in
terest in the legislation, also were present
President Brandt made the main presen-
tation, and, in part, said:
Congress imposed this additional war
tax upon our product in spite of the fact
that fully two-thirds of the legitimate
revenue resources Of the country, resort
ed to in 1852 and 1858, remained wholly I'M
taxed. We paid this exorbitant and I'M
just extra taxa tax representing 40 per
cent of the price of the product-during
two years We paid 1t, candidly speaking
under silent protest-We paid it under in
dustrial and commercial difficulties, which
brought to many Of US utter ruin, to some
of US a serious impairment of business
prosperity, and to all of US such a meas
ure of financial embarrassment as no In
duStry in the world has ever been exposed
to by the lawmakers of it's own country
The effect upon the whole trade is clearly
demonstrated by the fact that during the
past year of unprecedented affiuence IN
all branches of American commerce and
industry the production of beer has de-
creased by 100000 barrels, and this
effect of the economic result of the double
war tax is felt not only by the brewers
by the growers of barley, of corn and Of
hops, but also by very many important
industries which depend almost exclu-
sively upon brewing, particularly by the
great mass Of consumers
In conclusion, Mr.. Brandt said that the
tax on beer amounted to $1,000 600 a year..
by far the largest tax collected on any ar
ticlee and the brewer has paid the
largest part of the tax, prob
ably two-thirds, as they had not been able
to have consumers pay more than a third
of the tax. If the tax had been paid by
the consumer the dimunition would have
reached 3,0O00 900 or 1000 900 barrels year,
instead of 100000.
The committee adjourned without TAX
ing action on this, and requests from
other interests which will be considered
