ON CHICKAMAUGA BATTLEFIELD
Veterans of Both Armies Inspect the
Monuments and Markers

Chattanooga, Tenn, October 11.-All
business sessions Of the society of the
army Of the Cumberland and the Span
ish-Amerfcan war veterans being end
ed, today was devoted to the fnspec-
ton Of battlefield monuments and
markers at Chickamauga Park in &C
cordance with the plan and invitation
Of the national commissioners.
Early in the day the veterans of the
civil war on 9th sides, together with
the Younger veterans of the war with
Spain, accompanied by a representa-
tive committee of Chickamauga citi-
zens, proceeded to the national park,
the center Of which is ten miles from
the city. Accompanying the party
were the members of the national
commission, Generals Boynton, Duffield
and Swart, and J.P. Smart, historian
of the commission.
Each of the party was furnished with
blank forms on which he was expected
to note any errors in location OF
monuments and marker in the ma
tional park or any corrections to be
suggested as to any of the inscriptions,
the idea of the commission being TO
obtain the concensuS of opinion from
the old soldiers of both sides as to the
correctness of the work OF placing an0
i~nscribing these monuments.
The memoranda thus obtained VIII
be filed with the commissioners al
their office in this city and If, upon in
vestigation, it Is found that the criti-
cism is we'll founded, the corrections
suggested will be made.

THE MINERS CONVENTION
To Meet Today-The Operators Pro-
posal Likely to be Rejected

Scranton, Pa, October 1.-THE con-
Vention of the anthracite miners now
on strike throughout the hare oal
fields in Pennsylvania will meet in thi
city tomorrow morning for the purpose
Of considering the 10 per cent. net in
crease in wages preferred them by
nearly all the mine operators in the re-
gion. The delegates to the convention
who began arriving today have all
sorts of Instructions from ther local
unions on the proposition of h opera
tors. It was learned that most of them
now On the ground will vote to reject
the 10 per cent. increase unless the
operators give a guarantee that the
increase will be kept in force for a
fixed length of time. Others want the
union recognized before they will &c
cept the proposition, while not a few
insist upon concessions in the other
grievances.
The belief is general that in the alb
sence of any uniform Instructions
among the delegates, the chances of a
settlement by this convention are
rather slight. 1t is the impression Of
several labor leaders that at least a
second convention will have to be held
before any definite action will be taken
looking toward an early ending of the
contest.
The convention, as near as the United
Mine Workers officials can figure, will
consist of about 700 delegates. In all
likelihood the convention will be a Sc
cret one.

BRYAN INTERRUPTED
By Rowdy Conduct of University Stu
dents at Ann ArbOr

Ann ArbOr, Mich, October 11.-There
when Mr.. Bryan came to Ann Abor.
The students of the state university,
which is located here, were at the
meeting in large numbers and each
one made his presence felt. A plat
form had been erected on the south
side of the courthouse building and the
entire southside of the square, as well
as the adjoining street, was covered
with a solid mass of humanity, a ma
jority of those nearest the stand being
students.
Mr.. Bryan a no ooner shown his
face thar the boys began a clamor
which did not cease for ten or hfteen
minutes Even after Mr.. Bryan ad-
vanced to the front of the stand the
noise continued, but it ultimately sub
sided sufficiently to allow him to be-
gin. Il am glad to talk to you" he
began, IF you are willing to listen
a few voices responded: w are
willing
IF I were an imperialist," Mr.. Bry-
an went on, II would call out an army
to suppress you, but I am not"
This sally seemed to please the young
men, and most of them laughed and
cheered. Some of them jeered to such
an extent, however, that an officer
was compelled to enter the crowd and
arrest several of the noisest. After
this. while the Interruptions were fire.
Quent, they generally took the shape
of questions. One of the questions
brought out the explicit declaration
from Mr.. Bryan:
THE democratic party is for the
free coinage of silver at the ratio OF
16 to l without waiting for aid or con-
Sent of any other nation"
By the time Mr.. Bryan concluded the
confusion had ceased entirely and he
closed amid cheers.
When informed of the arrests of the
students. Mr.. Bryan Immediately SEN
the following letter:
Hon. NJ. J. Cavanaugh, Ann Arbor:
My Dear Sir:-If it is true, as L am
informed, that some of the college
boys were arrested for disturbing the
meeting. please ask for their discharge
1 am sure il was the result of boyish
thOughtleSSness and not malace.

tion and Perversion OF Justice-Pris-

Decisions Articles OF Barter-Large
ed For-Charxes Against the Supreme
Court

Manila, Saturday. October 6, via
Hong Kong. October 1.-THE admins
tration of Manila's civil courts by Fill
ipino magistrates which has long been
scandalous, is now attracting public
attention more than ever and has been
brought to the commissions attention
with requests for re~citification. The
courts are composed of four justices
of h peace and four primary courts.
The magistrates are utter failures as
administrators Of pustice.
The dissatisfaction with and COM
plants against the existing courts are
amending. Natives and foreigners
dread litigation, knowing the facts in
h case. Charges have been filed and
evidence is in the hands of the author
tiles, which, it is claimed, will show
that the magistrates have been guilty
of the greatest corruption and malfeas-
ance in office. One magistrate was
recently suspended on suspicion of
criminal abuse of power and attempt
to defraud.
The monthly collection of fines of
the -four native justices is estimated
at $4,000. The amount collected by the
primary courts for the same period is
much greater. The eight magistrates
persistently ignore the regulations
established by the authorities for the
supervision of commitments and the
accountability Of monies. The de-
post less than 800 onthl and are
alleged to appropriate the balance Of
their collections.
1t is further claimed thai the magis-
trates are in collision with the native
police in compromising offenses on the
basis Of cash for freedom" and that
in many instances magistrates who
committed men to Jail over a year ago
are now liberating them without trial.
the explanation being the effectiveness
of habeaS corpus and the designation
of a special officer to investigate the
cases, resulting in the freedom of many
persons illegally committed as prison
erS.
1t is said there are over fifty estab-
lished instances where prisoners have
bought their freedom from the guards
conveying them between the court
room and the Jail.
Serious charges of favoritism have
lately been made against the civil
ranch of Manila's supreme court.
The members Of the Taft commission
are disguised with the condition of the
courts and intend to substitute honest
Americans from the United States for
h active magistrates. Americans
having a knowledge of Spanish are
preferred, but they are the hardest to
secure. The commission will then in
stitute the drastic reforms needed in
the case of the entire judiciary.
