HAVANA, May AT a meeting of the

alleged that degrading outrages and abuses

THE coEUR D'ALENE INQUIRY.
Capt. III. G. Lyon Contradicts Testi-
mony of Previous Witnesses.

WASHINGTON. May 4-Captain H. G..
Lyon, of the army. testified before the
Occur d'Alene investigation to-day relative
to the protection given by the troops to the
mining property in the disturbed district.
He said his orders contemplated the protec-
ton of life and property. and particularly to
prevent the destruction of the mines on
Canyon creek. One of these mines, the
Tiger-Poorman, was threatened with flood
If the pump men quit, and as the Burke
Miners Union ordered the men to quit
work he stated at a meeting of the union
that he would give five minutes for the
revocation of the order, subsequently al
lowing ten minutes. He contradicted pre-
vious witnesses that the five minutes was
allowed the pump men, with the threat
that If they did not work they would be
put back at the point of the bayonet.
The hearing to-day was at times quite
exciting, owing to colloquys and personal
exchanges between members of the COM
mittee. Representative Hay, OF Virginia,
asserted at one point that efforts were be-
ing made by the ma jority to suppress teStf-
mony. Representative Mondell, of Wyom-
motives of the members and was due to a
failure by the minority to get answers they
desired. Mr.. Hay holly .retorted, throwing
back the insinuation and declaring that 1t
was an absolute falsehood." The fire.
quency of these encounters made the prog
ress of the testimony slow.
The taking of testimony closed tonight,
after having continued uninterruptedly
since Feb. 10, a period of nearly three
months. On Monday the arguments of
counsel will begin, probably concluding
that day.

The Methodist Episcopal Church is the
most progressive and adaptable of all the
Protestant denominations. In its adjusta-
bility to changing conditions and its read
mess to recognize new necessities it might
almost be said to be the most American
of all denominations. An illustration of
this is found in the recommendations made
by the bishops in their quadrennial ad-
dress to the General Conference now in
session From a Methodist point of view
al OF these recommendations are wise,
looking to the bringing of pastors and peo-
pie nearer together, to popularizing the
church government and discipline and to
Keeping intact the sources OF the church,

WASHINGTON, May 4.-The War De-

port from General Otis:
"April captures from enemy, thirty pieces
artillery, 1909 rifles, considerable ammu-
milton and large stores of property. Dur
ing early portion of the month the enemy
was active in extreme northern and south
ern Luzon and some viscayan islands. Our
reported losses for the month, thirteen en-
listed men killed. three officers and TWEEN
ty-four enlisted men wounded; rumored re-
cent loss in Samar of nineteen killed and
a number wounded not yet reported. This
is due to small attachments scouting in
mountains in the interior of the island. The
enemy's losses officially reported were LII
killed, wounded and captured. Leading
Filipinos express confidence in the early
pacification of the islands. They say the
war has terminated. Leading insurgents

WASHINGTON. May = 4.-The House
made fair progress to-day with the sundry
civil appropriation bill. completing seventy
three of the 1872 pages of the bill. Much of
the time to-day was consumed in an effort
of the members of the naval committee to
cripple the coast and geodetic survey in re-
taliation for the refusal Of the House to
agree to their recommendation when the
naval bill was before the House to place
the survey of the waters Of our insular
possessions in the hands of the navy. They
tried TO strike out the item in the bill au-
thoriZing the coast survey to survey the
coasts in the jurisdiction Of the United
States, but were defeated. They made a
point of order hold against a new vessel
for the survey and against an appropria-
ton of $50, 745 for enlisted men on survey
vessels, but the latter appropriation went
back in the bill in another form.

MIR. GROW AND THE HOMESTEAD

1t does not fall to the lot of many public
men to have so interesting an experience
as that of Hon. Galusha A. Grow, of Penn
sylvania, in connection with the bill to
open the Indian reservation lands to settle
ment. In speaking in the House on Thurs
day I'm favor of this measure Mr.. Grow re-
called the fact that forty-eight years ago
of the old original homestead bin under
which the public lands of the United States
were made subject to presumption and
entry by actual settlers. He was then the
youngest member of the House and is now
the oldest. The intervening period has
been one of great events. not the least i'm
portant of which has been the disposition
and settlement of millions upon millions of
acres of public lands under the homestead
act OF 1862. 1t was one of the most impor-
tant and benefcent measures ever en-
acted and became one of the cornerstones
of the Republican party in its early con-
tests for free speech, free press and lands
for the landless. The struggle over the bill
lasted from 1854 to 1862, and was one of the
fiercest political battles ever fought. the
slaveholding interest, and, of course, the
Democratic party, being almost solidly
against the bill. Mr.. Grow was in the fight
from the beginning and the special cham
pion of the bill. though he had willing and
able assistants in other leading Repub-
licans of that day. The anti-slavery con-
Julian for President and Vice President,
put the following in its platform: THAT
the public lands of the United States be-
long TO the people and should not be sold
TO individuals nor granted TO corporations.
but should be held as a sacred trust for the
benefit of the people. and should be grant
ed in limited quantities, free of cost, TO
landless settlers" From that time the
homestead question became national one,
and free homes for free men became a
leading tenet of the Republican party from
the date OF it's organization. After a strug-
gle of several years. in which the slave
holding Democracy fought the measure
inch by inch. it finally passed Congress In
1850, not in the form the Republicans de-
sired. but the best they could then get, and

dence has been obtained that some of them

There has been no stronger presentation
OF the Anglo-Saxon side of the British
Boer war than that made by Bishop Hart
cell In his address at Chicago. The high
character OF the speaker. his long residence
IN South Africa and his thorough knowl-
edge OF the subject from personal observa-
ton combine to give weight to his state
ments, and more mastery grouping or
powerful presentation of facts has not APP
peared since the war began. There is but
one way. to resist the conclusion forced by
Bishop Hartzelrs address that the inter-
ests OF human progress and civilization
in this war are altogether on the side of
the British. This conclusion can only be
resisted by impeaching his veracity. and
that. of course. is impossible. His address
leaves no pretext for any intelligent Amer
lean to sympathize with the Beers.

1t was only few months ago that the
mayor officially informed the Council that

ion was based upon the claim that the

city's service were in such efficient con-
dition that no extra expenditure would be
REQUIRED. Now. before the fiscal year is
half through. It is discovered that extensive
improvements I'm the fire department are

to actual settlers on the public domain, and
for other purposes" Mr.. Buchanan's veto
message sounds like the echo of lost
cause. Among other reasons he assigned
for vetoing the measure was that eft will
go far TO demoralize the people and repress
the noble spirit of independence. 1t may
introduce among us those pernicious social
theories which have proved so disastrous
in other countries" That was Democracy
I'm 1860. Millions of happy and prosperous
homesteaders can testify to-day how
groundless were Mr.. Buchanan's fears. He
was simply as a Democratic President
obeying the behest of the slave power. The
rebellion and civil war followed and the
homestead bill did not finally become law
until May 20. 1852. when it was signed by
President Lincoln. Mr. Grow fought for IL
from first to last. Under the original law
and the amendments to 1t made in the in
terest of Union soldiers millions upon mill
lions of acres of land have been given to
actual settlers and the growth and pros
perity of the country have been wonderfully
promoted. Mr.. Grow is happy in his old
age in being permitted to vote for another
land law, nothing like as important as the
original measure, but representing the
same generous policy. 1t was a graceful
act on the part of the House to order
printed in the Record Of to-day his original
homestead speech, delivered in 1852 the
first speech he ever delivered in the House.
though he made many more afterwards on
the same subject.
