CHARGED IT TO HOAR.
Barrett Believes He Caused Fill
ipino Rebellion
HIS SPEECH SENT TO NATIVES.
Ex-U. 8. Minister Said 1t Was Cabicd to
Honskong, From whence It Was Sent
to PhiIippines-This, Before Rebellion
Broke Out-Hoar Wouldn't Talk.

CHICAGO, Jan. 15.-John Barrett, ex.
United States minister to Siam, for the
first time publicly named Senator Hoar,
at Lake Forest university, as the United
States senator whose anti-expansion
speech was oabled to HonRkong and
subsequently, put in the hands Of the
Eilipipino soldiers, causing, as Mr.. Bar
rett beloved, the open insurrection.
1t appears further from the ex.minis.
ter's speech that the government has
discovered privately the stages by which
the anti.expansion address reached Lu.
Zon.
Mr.. Barrett was speaking to I'm au.
dience considered hostile to the admins.
tratiop's policy.
There was much interest in the re-
ception Mr.. Barrctt's speech would
meet. AT tho close Of the meeting he
was cheerod, and the audience of sew.
eral hundred people waited in line ia
shake hands with him.
In the course of his address, which
WAS OH the general subject of the
philippines" the speaker said it had
been discovered in the government in.
vcstigation that Senator Hoar's speech
was cabled in cipher and in fragments
TO Paris, where It was put together and
forwarded to Hongkong. The mes.
sage included several thousand words,
and tho cost of the transmission was
said to have been $4,000. 1, interested
the governments to know what friends
the Filipinos had at this time who were
in q position to send the message.
II was in Hongkong ut the time, "
said Mr.. Barrett, land remember the
incident distinctly. 1 was coming
down stairs in the hotel, when l met
the president of the Hongkong junta,
and he had III his hand the long dis.
patch he had just received. 1t gave q
large part Of Senator Hoar's speech in
full. and @ summary of the rest of it.
l asked the president what he wns
going to do with it, and he told me that
he meant to send 1t to the officers of the
army in the Philippines. He was urged
not to 10 it, but he protested that it
had been printed in the United States
and was public property. ,
"Four days after that speech had
been delivered 1t was in the hands OF
those who saw IN opportunity to make
political capital Of it. The speech was
published and distributed among the
soldiers. and believe it was the cul-
minating influence that brought about
the open insurreotion. This speech.
you must remember, was delivered bo-
fore there was an open insurrection.

NEW YORK TAX OF PULLMAN.


Ovcr kfuit u million on WniCn Trans.

New YORK, Jan. 15.-The appellate
division Of the supreme court handed
down decision written by Justice Pat.
terson regarding the inheritance tax to
be paid on that portion Of the estate of
the late George NJ. Pullman, of Illinois,
actually within the state of New York.
In bonds. stocks and on deposits in a
trust company this property amounted
to 9744,l9l, and the surrogate held that
the whole Of 1t was subject to the trans.
fer tax. Some Of the heirs appealed,
claiming that az Mr.. Pullman owed
more than $500. 900 to persons aud cor.
porations in New York, none of the
property found here should be assessed.
The appellate division holds, how.
ever. that an Indebtedness was general
against the whole Of the estate, the as.
sets of which were five times the liza.
bilities. The court modifies the order
by deducting the sum Of $5S, ,43O from
the amount TO be taxed, and, as 80
modified. nffirms the order, without
costs to either party.
