Report of the Man Who Organized
Maccabebcs Given to the Public.
Washington, April THE war de-
partment has made public the reports of
Lieut.. Matthew A. Batson of the Fourth
cavalry, in regard to- the organization
and operations of the Maccabebe scouts,
who formed a part of the armies of Gen.
Lawton and Gen. Young in the exciting
campaigns in pursuit of Aguinaldo in
northern Luzon. For his remarkable
success with this military band of ma
tiNes Lieut.. Batson has been appointed
"a major of volunteers, and placed in
command of a cavalry battalion of Fil-
ipinos, to be Immediately organized With
the: Aaccabebe scouts as "a nucleus. Maj.
Batson's report is long and covers all
the details of active operations of the
Alaccabebbes from the time of their Or
ssani2ation. Sept. l, to Nov. TO- when he
MAS obliged TO reilnQuish command by
reason of a serious wound of the left
foot, received in an engagement at Arm

these native scouts, numbering about

armed, equipped and treated in every
other. respect like United States troops.
Many OF them had seen previous serv-

the TEA TESTER.
No Has Di.carded Tasting ana now
Uses Sight and Smell,

The art of ten testing in commercial
houses, which formerly proved detriInen-
tai TO the health OF SC many men, has OF
late years been reduced to such accuracy
that the testing part Of it has been prac-
stically eliminated i'll all but the name.
and tea is now tested by sightsand smell"
remarked leading ten importer recently.
Boiling water is first poured on IN a..-i
curately measured quantity OF the leaves.
4 In u few minutes the liquid shows a tint
Of green or brown, and the length OF this
time and the shade of the color produced
are important elements in the test. The
tester then. with the aid OF a spoon. iI-
hales the rising steam from the mixture.
This is called getting the aroma and is
the most important part OF the test. He
may perhaps in some cases aetually5taste
the liquid. but this is no longer generally
done. Color, aroma md the .liquoring
qualities Of the tea IRE sufficient grounds
to judge by. The old time ten tester was
Q high salaried expert, who frequently
ended his career with heart disease or
fits. the result OF slow poisoning from the
quantities OF adulterntcd teas he tested;
but now as a rule every ten importer
tests his teas b. the recent and approved
method.
Only the largest ten importing houses
ut present employ tea testers OF their
own. The smaller houses have their tea
tested by tea broker. whose sole bust
ness is in testing and fixing price upon
the dclicate and finely favored beverage
of China and Japan. The prices Of the
different grades OF teas range from %
cents to 30 cents per pound, and the test.
er is expected to tix the exact value OF
the tea, even to the half and quarter
cent. 1t can thus be seen how very finely
his sense OF smell must be cultivated.
The testing OF the teas is usunliy done
IN the morning, the tester preferring the
hours before noon to those Inter in the
day. Tea testing is a remunerative bust
ness to those who get enough to do to
keep them busy. The big importing
houses who employ testers Of their own
pay them all the way from SIS to $50
per week, and the brokers' with IN estab-
lishcd reputation in the trade earn much
larger incomes from their work. Wash

GOV. RoosEvELr's POSITION.
senator Plat. II is said, Believe. Til,
Statc Can Re Carried Without Him

Senator Plat. is Snid, Believes tho
stntc Can he Carried Without Him.
Albany, n. Y, April Politicians
here regard with interest and amuse-s
snlent the attempts to retire Col. Roose-:
Welt from state politics. The impression
prevails that Mr.. Plat believes that the
republican national ticket is certain to
carry. this state, and that Its success will
sweep into office the republican nolni-.
inees for state offices. Under these con-
.ditions the republican leader believes
that he can elect anybody he sees fit to
nominate.
The governor has agreed with SEN
iator Platt in almost everything, said
a prominent republican, but you must
remember that he realizes that Senator
Platt. ard not the friends of Theodore
Roosevelt, control the state conven-.
tons
Another reason is assigned here by
some politicians for Mr.. Platt's appar-
ent desire to have the governor nomi-
mated for vice president, and that Is
that the governor has many enemies
among certain factions friendly to the
organization. and with him.
at the head of che state ticket next fall
these factions are not likely to give 1t
that degree OF loyalty and support dur
ing the campaign and at the polls which
would insure success for the republi-
cans in the state. Some of the gov
ernor's opponents in his own party are.
very bitter in their antasonism, and
they have been brought to the attention
of the men who control the organiZa-
ton. The machine leaders will make
herculean efforts to retain control Of
the state government, for should they
lose II they would be deprived Of their
influence.
s Two other names are prominently
mentioned in connection ,Titn the GU
bernatorial nomination. These are
Chairman B. b. Odcll. Jr.. of the repub-
lean state committee. and Speaker S.
Fred Nixon Of the assembly. Both are
thorough organization men.

POSSIBILITY OF POSTPONEMENT-
cast iron agreement made among the
varsity managers last night that II the
weather conditions prevented the varsity race
from starting by p. m. it positively would De
postponed until Monday. This is to prevent the
possibility of rowing such an important contest
in the growing twilight; so, if the river shouIo
be rough at o'clock tomorrow. all the shouters
must cool their heels here in Poughkeepsie over
Sunday, else journey back to their homes
and perhaps find it impossible to return mere on
Monday. Such a possibility makes plain the
unwisdom of choosing a Saturday for this Dig
regatta OF course, for the transportation com
panies Saturday is the best day. More people
are free to come TO the races, and in the event
of postponement many will make second trip

lie some day not at the close of the week would
be far better.
There are few yachts in the river yet. but

with the five varsity crews all mixed in, and
good many quiet pools are being made up.
The wagers will probably become heavier to-
morrow, when the crews arrive on the morning

did wretchedly poor business at New-London,
