tary Bankruptcy.

cured claims. OF the assets $I51 $50 is in
real estate. SO. SIS. 50 personal property and
s11 084.e2 cash. Mr. Mari made the fol.
lowing statement of his reasons for fling
the petition:
Nothing but absolute necessity could
have induced ne 10 file q voluntary petit

means Of fixing my property so that all

meetings OF the creditors called at the Of
flee of my counsel. and d plan which in my
judgment would have succeeded in meeting
all of my obligations within two years and
which would have secured the payment
thereof to my creditors was devised by 4
committee OF my creditors and was ratified
by almost 95 per cent of them in amount.
There were however certain OF my erei>
itors who thc7Eght that by insisting upon
a settlement of their claims at once they
could secure advantages as against my 9th
CT creditors and therefore declined to CO.
operate in any plan whereby all would
share equally. Under these circumstance
I felt that Il WIS my duty to those who had
shown their Willingness to assist me in ny
difficulties TO take the only step which
would insure to them an equal participa-
ton IN my assets and property as those
who had tried by pressure TO eXtert from
me preferences which in conscience I could
not grant.

lieve me from the legal obligation OF pay.

LanEsman O4borne Says Sailors Did
Not Loot Nueya CaceFes.


The War Department and the Navy De
partment have had occasion recently to
investigate some sensational charges of
outrages alleged to have been committed
by American soldiers and sailors in the
Philippines. Most OF the charges have
appeared in letters from enlisted men
serving in the United States Army and
Navy to relatives at home. In nearly
every case IL has been ascertained that
the writer has made up the stories of ex-
cesses out of the whole cloth to interest
and horrify his family These galley
yarns, as naval men call them, are prob
ably never intended to get into print
The most recent case of this sort is that
OF letter which appeared in the Oregon
Statesman" last April. The letter was
from Guy r. Osborne. an enlisted man of
the Navy, to his father, w S. Osborne,
who gave ii TO the newspaper. He made
sensational statements of Iooting by
American sailors, and an investigation was
made by the Navy Department which has
just received an official report showing
that young Osborne mad not told the truth.
Osborne waE attached to the gunboat
Concord. In fsfss letter he described his
alleged experience with a landing party
froE1 the gunboat Paragua at Nueva Ca
ceres, p /. He told OF Iooting the town
| and described the booty he secured.
George z. Sly, of Salem, Ore, forward
ed cutting of the letter to the Navy
Department with a protest against the al
! legged outrsge. The Navy Department for
warded 0sborne's letter to Lieutenant
4! AIthouse commanding the Paragua and
! his report just received says that Osborne
after listening to the reading OF the let
/ ter stated before witnesses that he lad
endeavored to make a g0ed story rather
| than tell the plain truth and the facts.
/ He admitted the faIsity of each and every
! item regarding the iootiEg. A search of
OsbOTne's locker reyeaied only two rosa
/ ries and some photographs. which he
| claimed were given Or sold to aim by sol
| diers.
| Lieutenant AIthouse questioned every
member of the Paragua but could rot OBJ
/ tain any evidence TO show that Osborne
| had stolen the articles mentioned. Mem
:ers OF the crew told Lieutenant Althouse
! that Osborne had written other letters
! home embracing statements equally false
| as those published. Lieutenant AItho1zse
| denies that there was any looting By the
| Para gua's men at Nueva Caceres. When
they returned to the ship the landing par
! ty was inspected and found TO have with
| them only an cid Winchester shotgun and
| few boios.
To Lieutenant Althouse's letter is ap-
peLded the following statement from Os-
borne:
! Referring TO NY letter published in Jht
Oregon Statesman copy of which was
forwarded by the Navy Department to the
commanding officer of the Paragua for re-
port, I acknowledge that the letter was
| written for home solely. and that part
| which refers to Iooting done in NEeva
Caceres by myself and others is not true

by soldier friends and are of no value

MR.. HENDaRsON's VIEWS.
He Compares President Mckinley to
Alexander Hamilton


In a recent speech in Chicago David B.
Henderson, Speaker bf the House of Rep
resentatives, sai4i AZ supported President
Mckinley and advocated his re-election
because Mckinley is strictly following the
ideas and policies OF Alexander Hamilton
The following extracts from one of Ham
ilton's. most famous, speeches, delivered
June Is, 1857, before the Federal Conven-
ton at Philadelphia, will fully Illustrate
Speaker Henderson's meaning
After advocating = constitutional pro-
vision fixing the term of Office of the Pres
| ident for life. Mr.. Hamilton said:
Il believe the British Government forms
| the best model the world has ever pro-
duced
All communities divide themselves into
the few and the many. The first are the
rich and weli-born, the others the mass OF
the people.
The people are turbulent and changing;
they seldom judge or determine rightly.
iiye, therefore, the first class a distinct and
| permanent share in the Government.
Nothing but a permanent body can
check the impudence of democracy. Their
| turbulent and uncomfortable disposition re-
! qufres checks.
1t is admitted that you cannot have a
/ Soou executive upon democratic pidh-
/ See the exceilency of the British executive.
Nothing short of such an executive can be

/ '"The voice Of the people is said to be

OF the people can never be good

ton; he can have no distinct interest from
the public welfare. Nothing short of such

CONDITIONS AT DAWSON.
Nearly Thirteen Million Dollars in
Gold Skipped This Season.

J. C. McCook. Consul at Dawson City,
sends the following interesting gossip to
the State Department:
The past summer has been unusually
rainy For the last month there has been
an abundance of wild bIueberries eHrrants,
raspberries, and eranberries The cattle
herders On the hills and a few Indians
gather the berries and bring them to Daw-
son. receiving 81 10 SI.5O per quart.
The Governor General of Canada. with
his wife and suite. recently spent three
days at Dawson visiting the mines and vi
entity
The idea of building an ice plant in
Dawson seems like carrying Goals to New
castle The lack of ice in summer, how
ever. has been seriously felt, and con-
tract has been given to the Mcdonald Iron
Works Company fer an ice machine TO be
placed in a cold-sturage warehouse The
cost of ice this summer has been 3 cents
per pound n at the rate of 800 per ton,
More claims have been worked this
summer than in any previous season On
account of the extra rainfall there was
sufficient water for sluicing. Many own
ers will work their claims only during the
summer, letting them lie idle in winter,
as they can dump the dirt or clay directly
into the sIufce boxes in summer. and rot
have to handle the ground twice. Ma
chinery is found everywhere in the dis
trict: no one thinks now of working
claims without boiler, engine, and pump.
THE amount of gold sent out to date this
season as per consular invoices, is Sf2,-
500, Geo; it is possible that about S250, GEO
has gone out without any record,
Smallpox is practically stamped out in
Dawson. no new cases having appeared
for over three weeks There is no danger
of the disease being brought from St. Mi
cfaeIs, as at this season it takes a steam
er nearly three weeks to come up. The
chief menace is frcm the upper river.
This sectien of Alaska still occupies the
attention of prespectors- There is q
large area with more streams than in any
other mining district so far discovered
in Alaska; ali bear gold, which will give
work later on to al army Of miners Tho
cost of transportation TO this region is
now too high-sl-25 per pound. This
added to the cost of provisions, etc.
makes it very expensive to work there
Many miners staked claims and may
possibly never return The mining laws
OF the United States do not require rep
resentation of claims for one year after

tically locking up the country

nramatized Novels.

This is the beginning of the theatrical
season and the thoughtful observer of dra-
matte events is tempted to wonder wheth-
er the reign of dramatizeG novels is not
nearly over. When new novel comes out
nowadays it is almost certain to be drama
tized whether it is suited to that purpose
or not. AS the astute Mr.. Dooley puts it:
''The way TO write a play is fr to- take a book
ard write it over hindend foremost. They re
putin all books tn stage nowadays. Fox's
Book iv Martyrs has been done into Il three
act farce comedy, anil be prejooced be Della
FOX, tn author mkt summer. Webstcr's 'Ona-
hridged Dictionary will be brought cut as a
society drama with eight hundred thousand
characters. ] understand III Eible'Il be

The trouble with dramatized novels is
that novel and a play are Numerically
opposite in construction and that good
novel generally has to be spoiled to make
even . fairly goo6 play. If it were ever to
be profitable to make plays into novels the
same difficulty would be eXeerienced by
