WOULD NOT HEAR LOPEZ.
Philadelphia Baptist Ministers Refus
the FilipinO's ReQueat.

The weekly conference Of Baptist minis
tiers of Philadelphia, at their session yes
terday. refused to hear the appeal for sym
pathy and aid which Sixto Lopez, the ennis
sary of Aguinaldo, desired to address to
them. The decision was reached by the
committee on hearings and Senior Lopez,
who was present with his Interpreter, was
obliged to content himself with single
hating sentence. expressing his wish to
further address them.
Rev. Wayland Hoyt, who led the opposi-
ton to Lopez. said that to allow him to
speak would virtually be acknowledging a
traitor.
Rev. L. Senshoes urged that the Fill
Pine be given hearing. "All reports that
We have had from the other side have been
garbed" he said. Would it not be better
to give a hearing to this man that may
determine the truth?"
Discussion was cut short by referring the
subject to the committee on hearings, and
they decided that the request for audi
ence was declined.
Although denied the privilege of address,
ing the ministers, he remained throughout
the meeting.

Principles.

Says the Party Must Return to First
Principles.
The Atlanta Journal yesterday afternoon
published an interview with former Presi-
dent Cleveland, obtained by a staff corre-
spondent at Princetons N. ]. Mr.. Cleveland
is quoted as follows:
'In my opinion the great need of the
democratic party Is return to first prin-
ciples. The democratic party has not been
fatally disorganized, but 1t sadly needs re-
Mobilization on purely democratic lines.
What is the matter with the party? 1t
has, in my humble judgment, simply wan
dered off after strange gods. A large mass
Of democratic voters saw this before the
last election. They remained quiet but
when the time came to vote, they said:
This is not democracy" and refused to
support it.
''As L see 1t, it is the duty of democrats
everywhere to aid in the rehabilitation Of
the party. There are some signs of an in
sistence upon the necessity Of a return to
democratic doctrines in the south, but they
are not so general as 1 would like to see."
what of the future?" was asked.
with sincere return to its old-time doc
trines," Mr.. Cleveland replied, 1.-The old-time
victories Of the democratic party will GER
tainly be won."

Comfort of the Home.

The best gifts for the holiday season are
those which add to the comfort of the
home. Beautiful and costly ornaments
seem out of place if the substantial fur
ishings of the house are dingy or incom-
plete. Every year in every house some
thing is found to be worn out. Furniture
is a good deal like people. A carpet that
has been walked over too long loses its
brightness, and a sofa too frequently sat
down on ceases to retain it's springiness
and lightness. The china by rough ham
ding may lose its polish A man may be
rejuvenated by means Of recreation, but
the best way to rejuvenate the worn-out
furniture is to replace it with fresh and
newer styles. Many people fully realize
their household needs, but they lack the
necessary money with which to supply
them, and 1t Is for just such that Grogan's
Mammoth Credit House, at S17-S19- S2I and
S25 7th street, was established and is now

THE CASE OF JUDGE MOVES
SENATOR CARTER PROPOSES AN IN
VESTIGATION,
Resolution Introduced Directing tbs
Judiciary Committee to Ascer-
tain the Facts

In view of the wide publicity of charges
against the administration of the United
States district court of Alaska involving
as the allegations do the integrity of sew
eial persons of prominence in both official
and unofficial life, we'll as the just adj
ministration of the mining laws at Cape
Nome. Alaska. Mr.. Carter of Montana has
introduced a resolution in the Senate d.
recting the committee on judiciary to in
vestigate the whole question. BY the reso-
, luton the committee is directed specific
ally to investigate the conduct of the Judge
of the division of the district court of
Alaska, located at St, Michaels. and to re-
port to the Senate the names of all persons
connected with litigation before that court
concerning which any improper influence
or illegal conduct has been or may be
charged.
Senator Carter's resolution covers the
same ground as was covered by the reso-
luton introduced in the House last week
by Mr.. Brick of Indiana, but is much more
elaborate and specific in its directions for
an investigation. Substantially, the resolu-
ton is as follows:
Whereas, II has been charged through
the press that Judge Arthur H. Moves OF
the district court of Alaska having juris-
diction over the Cape Nome district has
been guilty of Illegal or improper conduct
in connection with litigation pending in
his court. and
whereas. it is further charged that such
alleged illegal action or improper conduct
resulted from a conspiracy in which many
persons were concerned: therefore. be it
Resolved That the judiciary committee
of the Senate be directed to investigate and
report to the Senate the facts found in
Spouse to the following interrogatories:
81 Are the general mining laws of the
United States applicable to the district of
Alaska?
80 Has Judge Noyes been guilty of any
illegal imDrODpr conduct n
with any litigation pending before his
court?
SO Whether any senator or representa-
tive in Congress any officer of the fed
eral government ever possessed any inter-
est In any property which has been the
subject of litigation in the said court. and
whether any such person has had any in
terest in the result of such litigation. and
Ii SO the name and position of such person
and the nature of the interest.
81 What. if any, effort has been made
by any party improperly or illegally to in
fiuence the judgment of the court any
officer thereof?
'5. What, if any, sums Of money have
been expended by anybody to circulate
statements rejecting upon the honor and
integrity of the court any officer thereof.
and by whom such expenditures were
made?
Sc The facts connected with and the in
ecessor of said such Judge Noyes to pro-
cure him to resign his position on the
bench and to become connected with It'll
cation pending in the court at the time
of his resignation or thereafter COM
menced."

THE GERMAN AGRARIANS.
Moving to Increase Tariff Duties q
Grain.


Grain.
The agrarian party in Germany, having
successfully brought about law prohibit
ing, in effect the Importation of American
canned meats at the last session of the
reichstag, is now using it's powerful in
fluence to vastly increase the import duties
on all grains entering the empire. notably
on wheat. So states United States Consul
Dederich at Bremen, in a report to the De-
partment Of State The aim of the agra
rians, says the consul, is to make Germany
entirely Independent of all countries for it's
breadstuffs and food supplies. ut is diff
cult to see,' says Mr.. Diederich, how the
proposed national legislation can have any
other effect, in the long run. than to en-
nance the price of the daily bread SO need
fui 10 every man, woman and child in this
country" 1t Is impossible to understand,
he says, how the proposed duty can in
crease the crops Of wheat throughout Ger
many, or decrease the appetite of the Ger
man people.
At present, however, states the consul,
there seems little doubt that the proposed
law will be passed by the reichstag. AS .
large portion of the importation of wheat
Is American grown, this will seriously af-
feet the interests of the American farmer.
"a duty Of 40 or 80 cents on every bushel
Of wheat" concludes Consul Diederich.
cannot fail to be well-nigh prohibitive, and
the consequence will be more limited mar
kets, fiercer competition. and lower prices
to the producers.

ANOTHER NEGRO LYNCHED,
Mob at Bonneville. Ind, Takes Law in
Its Hands.

Its Hands.
A dispatch from Bonneville, Ind, last
night says: John Rola, the third of the
colored men implicated in the murder OF
Holle Simons, was hanged to tree In the
court house yard by mob of about 1OJ
mer from Rockport this evening. Two OF
his companions were lynched at Rockport
last night for the same crime. Not a shot
was fired and everything was conducted as
quietly II the execution had been one
under the sanction of the law.
Deputy Sheriff Raymond Cherry was in
charge of the jail. He declined to give up
the keys. and" the mob at once began to
batter in the wall Of the jail with tele-
graph pole. Six members of the mob
crawled through the hole and with sledge
hammers broke down the door of Rolla' s
cell, and soon the thoroughly terrified negro
was in the hands of the men, who placed
a rope around his neck. All left, crawling
again through the hole by which they had
entered dragging the negro after them.
In the court house yard the rope was
thrown over the limb of tree and hun
dred hands sent his body flying into the
air. The loose end of the rope was tied to
a tree, and as soon as the mob was sure
that its work had been completed it left in
as orderly a manner it had entered the
town.
None Of the mob wore masks, and men
apparently from every station in life took
part in the lynching.
John Rolla was implicated by Rowland,
one of the negroes lynched last night at
Rockport, but denied his guilt. He told
conflicting stories, and 1t was learned that
he was away from the Verandah Hotel,
where he worked, about the time Simons
was murdered Confronted with this evil
dence Rolla weakened and confessed his
share in the crime. admitting that he struck
H. I, tla% he
groes helped him to kill Simons.
The militia from Evansville arrived at
Bonneville fifteen minutes too late, and the
dead body of Rolla met their gaze as they
marched into town.
The general sentiment of the community
upholds the action Of the mob in taking
affairs in their own hands. There is no
purpose to prosecute any one concerned in
the mob.

provincial justice of the peace, and in
that CAPACITY will control the constab-
ulary.
