HANNA AND PETTIGREw.
Hot Words Passed Between the Two sena.
ators Over Charge Concerning Cam
paign Contributions In 1896.

Washington, June Gin the senate
Tuesday Mr.. Pettigrew charged that
the Cramps in 1892 and 1896 contrib
uted 100000 to the republican ma
tional campaign. Senator Hanna
holly denied the statement and de-
nounced Pettigrew in severe terms,
saying he sometimes doubted the san
ity of the South Dakota senator in
putting such rot as he did in the rec
ord and expect people to believe it.
Mr.. Pettigrcw followed with asser-
tions that Cramp had told him of his
contributions.
Senator Carter in the most vigor-
Gus manner denied the statement Of
Mr.. Pcttigrew. He said that he did
not believe the conversation alleged
to have taken place between Petit
grew and Cramp ever occurred. He
denied absolutely that any conversa-
ton between himself and Pettigrew
had occurred. Mr.. Carter warned the
democrats that rs they were to asso-
ciate with Mr.. Pettigrew they must
have a care. He said the old adage
was applicable, shat they who laid
down with dogs must expect to get
up with fleas."

There Is q humorous florist In this
city by the sea. Whether 1t is inten-
tional or not, nobody knows, but he
has certainly had some funny expe-
riences of late. The other day
woman In Nevada wrote to him that
her husband was dead and that she
wanted something nice for John" TO
be sent ut once. With due dispatch he
plucked q horseshoe off the wall
where It had rested for years, and
filling It with sweet white roses, he
forwarded 1t to the widow. In few
days the expressman drove up and
said the charges on IN awkward
looking bundle he Carried were si.o5.
The florist paid him, and upon open
ing the little gift found the horse
shoe, looking Us II 1t had had bad
night, and thoroughly dilapidated.
On top was pinned a slip Of paper
which said:
Dear Sur:-Mebbe you think yer
funny, but even II my John wuz n
blacksmith you needn't send no
horseshoe. He wuz respectable and
honest and you hain't got no right
to make fun by him."

THE DISTURBANCE IN CHINA.
Friends OF American Missionaries Becom'
Ing Alarmed - Developments Closely
Watched by tho United States.

Washington, June THE friends OF
the American missionaries in the dis.
turbed zone in China are becoming
alarmed and the state department Is
beginning to feel the pressure of their
efforts to adopt an aggressive policy.
Yesterday inquiries were made as to
the reason for the passive attitude OF
the United States naval forces in
Chinese waters while the Russians
are reported to have promptly sent
out military expeditions from Pekin
for the rescue of Russian, French and
Belgian subjects whose safety was
jeopardized. II was argued that the
United States marines should have
been likewise dispatched to the as
sistance of the American missionaries
at Pao-Ting-Fu. Meanwhile the de-
velopments are being closely watched
and IL the next phase should be still
worse il Is probable that in addition
to the Helena at least one more war
ship, with full battalion of marines,
will he ordered up the Pci-Ho river to
Tien Tsin. So far the proposition to
call upon Macarthur for troops to
make up landing party has not been
preached TO the war department and
II is not expected that such a step
will be taken, save as last resort,
for II is felt that II would mark an
ENHANCEMENT OF the United States
in the European designs respecting
China from which It would be diff
cult or impossible to secure release.

slips Of the Tongue.

It is an invariable rule that men,
bers Of the house of commons must
address their remarks to the house
through the chair, and, though in
the flow Of argument an orator is
often allowed without remonstrance
to use the second person plural in
admonishing his opponents, the first
words are always addressed to the &C.
cupant OF the chair. This, like many
other rules of debate, has percolated
from the house of commons down
to all our minor assemblies, and the
consequence is that few members find
any. difficulty in complying with the
custom. Not infrequently, however,
ruling habits prevail, and new MEN,

BOER FORCES INTACT.
Gen. Botha and President Kruger Are In
Position TO Continue War Against
the British.

London, June Until the situation
In the neighborhood of Pretoria is
enlightened, the officials here as well
us others will find difficulty in prog
nosticating Lord Roberts immediate
programme. 1t appears evident that
the Boer commander-in-chief, Gen.
Botha, with all his guns, withdrew
in good order, probably along the
Dclagoa bay railroad, with view Of
joining President Kruger. So the
Transvaal forces remain practically
intact, with Presidents Kruger and
Steyn and Gen. Botha and Secretary
of State Reitz all safe and in posi-
ton to continue the direction Of If
fairs. The more optimistic see in
the fact that President Kruger's wife
and Gen. Botha's wife were left at
Pretoria nm indication that the pres
idcnt does not count OH long re-
sistance. In any case, IL will probably
take Lord Roberts ut least u week to
organize campaign of pursuit.

IT IS PROVEN FALSE.
Omesrs Riddle the ssatsmsut Made By
Aguinaido Regarding the Capture OF
American Guns Before Manila.

Washington, June THE president
yesterday sent to the senate the re-
ply to the statements made by Agui-
naldo in his "True Version Of the
Philippine Revolution" In that state
ment Aguinaldo said, among other
things, that the Spaniards had cap
tured six guns from the American
soldiers in front Of Manila before the
surrender of that city to the Ameri-
can forces and that they were re-
captured by the Fnipinos and re-
turned TO the Americans. This state
ment was referred to in the senate,
which, the correspondence furnished
yesterday shows, caused Secretary
Root to refer II to Gen. +. v. Greene,
who was in charge Of the American
troops, with the request for an ex-
PLANTATION. Gen. Greene referred Agui-
naldo's statement to the battalion
and battery commanders who were
engaged against the Spaniards at the
time referred to and he forwarded
their replies in refutation Of the
charge. Gen. Greene himself says:
"The statements made by Aguinaldo
are absolutely without foundation;
each and every one Of them is untrue;
the United States did not fall back;
did not abandon a single rifle or a
single field gun; did not make pre-
cipitatc retreat; the Filipinos did not
rush to our assistance; did not re-
capture the rifles and field guns and
did not return them to the Ameri-
cans. The Filipinos took no part in
the engagements between the Span.
iards and American troops. Every
single statement in the extract
quoted in your letter Is false"

boldly advocates the substitution of
German for Greek in our schools and

should be the first foreign language
