IMPERIAL FEDERATION.
Canadians Seek Reward For Aiding
England In War.

New York. March ga special to the
Herald from Ottawa says:
That the voluntary participation of
Canada and other colonies of the en-
pire in the war in South Africa has
brought the question of imperial fedora
ton within the domain of practical poll
ties is not now denied even by those
who year ago were disposed to treat
imperial federation as an ultra loyalist
fad. To such an extent is this the case
that Canadian statesmen do not hest
tate publicly to avoW their sympathy
with the objects of the British Empire
league.
Any seriously minded Canadian poll
tician will tell you today that of the
three future possibilities for Canada
namely, annexation to the United States,
independence or federation with the en-
pire-the first is a dead issue, and the
second too hazardous a proposition to
be contemplated, with our present
small population and vast territory in
these days Of universal greed for new
possessions.
If you want US to help you, call us
to your council" said Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, referring to the proposal that
Canada should participate in all future
wars of Great Britain. IF you want US
to take part in your wars let us share
not only in the burdens, but the respon-
sibilities and duties as well'
A prominent Liberal member states
that the probable outcome of the i'm
perial awakening will be a conference
of colonial representatives, to be held
in London at the close of the war, to
consider some scheme of federal rep
resentation on the lines of mutual de-
tense and mutual preferential trade that
will not abridge the independence of the
colonies in their management of local
q affairs

A COMPROMISE ON PORTO RICO

The house and senate conferees on the
Porto Rico appropriation bill have
agreed on a compromise by which the
tariff clause of the Porto Rico govern
ment bill will be attached to the meas
ure which is in conference. In addition
there is to be proviso that the duties
shall be collected only until system
OF internal taxation has been put into
operation.
II the bill, in this form shall become
law, probably it will be a long time be
fore Porto Rico secures a system of in
ternal taxation.
That sort of lodging will not deceive
anybody. The fight is between the peo-
pie of the states and OF Porto Rico on
one side and the sugar and tobacco in
terests on the other, with congress lean
ing toward the side of the trusts up to
this time.
The president appears to be undecided
as between his duty to his own sense of
right and justice and what he has been
induced to believe is his duty to his
party, although recently a leaning
toward the party has been apparent.
The matter has gone too far and the
people have become 900 thoroughly
aroused for the question of a tariff on
Porto Rican trade to be settled salts
factorily by any sort of compromise.

GUERILLA WAR.
1t Is On In Full Blast In the
Philippines.

San Francisco. March 22-The steam
er Hong Kong Maru brings from Hong
Kong news of a surprising state of af-
fairs existing in the Philippines. The
correspondent of a Hong Kong paper
sends the following uncensored letter to
his journal:
Manila, Feb. 13.-It is a strange state
of affairs that exists IN the Philippines
today. Improvement is visible in nearly
every quarter. Civil governments are
rapidly being established in every town

it is an undeniable fact that since jan

tured a number of rifles and quantities
of ammunition from the Americans all
most equalling the sum total of Ameri-
can captures from the insurgents. Be
sides this the casualty rate for the last
two weeks will come very close to being
heavier than at any other period of the
instruction, with the exception of the
time of the outbreak and the fortnight
beginning with March rs, 1899
These are hard facts to swallow and
somewhat alarming in the bargain The
threatened guerilla warfare that was
heard of on every side seems to be a real

berS are ambushed and Jumped" day
after day. Small trains, small escorts
and scouting parties are the special OBJ

every convenient cover until the prey is
caught.
In one or two instances heavy patrols
or stong scouting parties have quickly
avenged these raids by setting out i'm

as many of the marauderS as possible
These lessons have not been forgotten and
in the immediate districts there have been
no repetitions of the trouble.

POTATO CROP INJURED.
One Kaw Valley Farmer Planted 80
Acres Too Early.

Leavenworth. March 22.-The early
potato crop in the Kaw bottoms be-
tween Kansas City, Kan, and Lawrence
has been materially injured by the re-
cent cold weather and much of the
ground win have to be replanted.
Owing to the mild, open winter the
potato growers of that section had
their ground plowed and ready for
planting early in the season. AS the
weather remained open many took ad-
vantage of the favorable conditions and
planted early, with the expectation of
obtaining an early crop. Many acres
had been planted before the last snow
fall, and others planted just after the
snow disappeared. The cold snap of a
couple of weeks ago, and the sleet which
lay upon the ground for several days,
has caused considerable damage by
freezing the seed and causing it to de-
cay
One man who had thirty acres
planted before the last cold spell says
that every potato he had in the ground
was frozen. He is now busily engaged
in again blowing the thirty acres and
win plant the ground for the second
time. A number of other farmers have
also suffered severely by the last snow
and sleet. Around Lenape nearly every
farmer had his ground seeded and all
have lost heavily and will be compelled
to Ieplant.

SaIina Man is Brutally Treated
by His Son.
Hitched to a Sulky Pillow and
Worked Like a Horse.
Is NOW 81 YEARS OLD.
Pitiful Story Told by a Man
Worth $4,000.
He is Prosecuted For Not Sign
ing Deeds, It is Said.

Salina, March 22.-Henry Schraeder,
81 years old and worth s25,0Oo sat in the
parlor of the Grand Central hotel yes
terday and wept like a child.
The cause of his intense grief was the
unnatural treatment he had received at
the hands of his son.
Between his sobs the old man told
a story of base ingratitude. He said his
son had turned him out of doors after
treating him worse than dog.
It is proposed to send this wealthy
but much-abused old man to the poor
farm.
Henry. schraeder has lived in Saline
county for a number of years. He owns
several hundred acres of land between
Bavaria and Brookville. His son is
named George Schraeder. The son is
married.
A reporter called on the old man at
the Grand Central hotel and talked
with him with the assistance OF Mr..
and Mrs. Bush who acted as interpre-
ters. The old man, who is 81 years OF
age, is a gentleman in every sense OF
the word. He has a proud nature but IS
gentle and approachable. He is excep-
tiOnally well preserved and the light OF
kindness shines brightly in his face.
Many questions touched a tender spot
in his heart when he would break down
and weep like a child.
The old man said that he had lived
with his sons family on a farm near
Bavaria and that he was driven away
by his son. He claims that his son has
frequently whipped him. Five years
ago, he says. his son gave him a terri.
BILE whipping, and has always been tell
ing him to pick up his things and go
away.
The other day at the dinner table the
old man says he happened to get
tough piece of meat His sons wife
noticed that he couldn't cut it and gave
him another piece. This caused the son
to fly into a rage, and he drove his aged
father from the house with a knife.
A woman who lives close to the
Schraeder farm called to see the old man
this morning. She corroborated his story
regarding the brutal treatment he has
received. She also stated that the son
hitched the old man to a sulky pillow
and made him work in the field like an
animal.
About two years ago, while the old
man was blowing, a train frightened his
horses. They ran away and dragged the
old man all over the field. breaking his
leg He now suffers from this injury.
In answer to a question the old man
said that he owned all the property
claimed by his son. The property con-
sists, he says, of $40 acres of farming
land, half a section of pasture land, and
5000 bushels of wheat. His sons wife
owns 80 acres. The old man says that
when he came here he invested 81, 500 in
the property. The property is in his
name, but he claims his son has per-
sistently urged him to sign papers
transferring the title. This the old man
has refused to do.

It is impossible to make an accurate
forecast of the amount of currency that
