AND Mr.. Towne, where is he?
EXPLANATION BY GEN. FUNS SION.
Why He Hanged TWO EiliplnOs Last
April Without Trial.


Manila Correspondence Chicago Record.
During the early part of April some
startling stories came into Manila re-
garding the summary hanging of two
natives near San Isidro by Gen. Funs-
ton. 1t wss said that no trial had been
given them, and that there was q like
lihood of an investigation, which might
result in a court-msrtial. Since then
l have learned that Gen. Macarthur,
in command of the division in which
Gen. Funston is serving, has given his
unqualified approval of the course
taken, aid that Gen. Otis has also ap-
proved of it.
In order to obtain correct story of
the incident, which has an interest az
being the first of its kind, have got
Gen. Funston's story of it. He had just
returned from q scouting trip, and ex-
pressed himself as being glad to comply
with my request for the facts regard
ing the hanging of the two natives on
March q.
"There was at that time on duty
with my brigade one of the companies
of Col. Wilder's regiment of Macabe-
bes, and while the company was out
hunting insurgents three of the men

TIME TO BEGIN NOW.

1t takes time and money to push q
city just as it does to push q private
bus ness. 1t takes long preparation
and longer advertising to get up a sue
cessful exposition. Buffalo has been at
hers for over three years. Atlanta
began on here nearly five years before
it happened. St. Louis got an early
start, and Seattle is already using the
wires to advertise her proposed iexpo-
sition four years thence.
Ell Psso ought at once to perfect the
preliminary organization of her Great
Southwest Industrial Exposition and
Montezuma Palace, to be held in this
city in 1902. A suitable design ought
to be adopted as a trademark and used
henceforth on every particle of printed
matter sent out of the city. Every
merchant and business man should use
it On his envelopes and letter heads,
and the postmarking machine at the
post Office should be equipped with the
words, 1.-THE Great Southwest, Ell
Paso, 1902" or other suitable inscrip-
tion.
Il seems like q long time. but there
is much TO be done before buildings
are begun. The first thing is to get
every business man of the city to bind
himself to support the project With
money and time and energy. There
should be q stock com pany formed to
carry the thing through, and the Or
ganization should be Differed by the
most progressive and substantial
business men in the city.
Active work should be begun in the
direction of securing government ap-
preparations from Mexico and the
United States, but such an appeal
should without question be preceded
by such a guarantee of full support
on the part OF our own business men
that there could be no question as to
our sincerity.
Nothing can be made by putting it
off. The time to begin advertising is
now.

Railroad Mileage Books Not Trans
ferable---A Mooted Question Settled
The Washington Cd. c. Times, Of
June 2, 1900, prints the following deci-
sion Of the Supreme Court of New
Hampshire, which will interest the
holders of railroad mileage books:
The question as to whether a railroad
company has the right to take up a
mileage ticket limited to a particular
person when presented by another per-
son than the one to whom the ticket
WIS issued, was decided in the afflrma-
tive by the Supreme Court Of New
Hampshire, in Eastman VS.. Maine Cen
trail railroad (46 Atl Rep, 54). The
plaintiif was accustomed to rent
railroad mileage books at
an advance on their purchase
price. The conductor took one of these
books from a passenger who had pur-
chased it from the plaintiff, whereupon
the plaintiff sued to recover the amount
originally paid for the mileage book
But the court denied his right to re-
cover, holding that the conditions on
which the mileage book was issued
we're not contrary to law or public
policy. and that having violated these
conditions the law affords the plaintiff
no relief.

HOODOO WORK,
SAY SILIhRITHN
Bitter Contest Expected at
the Democratic State
Convention
Special to the Evening Journal.


Dover, June 14.-Perhaps never in
the history of the party have the prir
maries for a State Convention TO select
delegates to national meeting excited
as much interest among Delaware
Democrats as is evidenced regarding
the contest of Saturday next. For con-
test It will be in earnest and for keeps.
The Free Silver men have been stir
red up to fever pitch, by the reports
which have drifted down from New
Castle county indicating that the Gold
men knocked out the Silver men on
the county organization. Taking the
tally sheets Of the election of sc as q
guage, the Silver men are convinced
that there must have been some hoodoo
business infected into that New Castle
county affair to enable the Gold men
to win. as the lists show they have not
the votes, and they fear that by some
hook or crook New Castles methods
may be introduced down here next Sat
urday, and a ten per cent vote may
knock them out.
They are therefore hard at work
along the old hundred lines. The
general run do not take very
kindly to this constitutional
district gerrymandering. and is
urging every man from Duck Creek to
Milford to come out and fight under the
white metal banner They will put up
only men who are k~ovn to swear by
William j. Bryan and who have been
going straight in that direction since
go The least shade OF yellow will
be enough to ensure mans defeat.
4 INCENTIVE TO RENEWED ACTIV-
ITY.
One incentive to renewed activity
among the Silver meR is the fact that
for the past three years certain STATE
and county offices have been filled by
men who it is known are out and oui
Gold men and opposed to Bryan. MeT
who did not support the national tieke
in 'g6. and who will not support It this
year II Bryan is the nominee. There
has been deep discomfort over this con
ditlOn of affairs in both Kent and Sus
sex. and the moss-cOvered bontons o
both counties swear by all saints il
the Democratic calendar that they will
show next Tuesday which metal is OF
top.
The delegates named on Tuesday viii
be instructed with iron-clad pledges
or there will be battle in the CONVEX
tion which will make the notable Bigg
Convention OF 81 seem like a sort o
Sabbath school memory.
