this country now only because the men
of the great civil war dared, endured and
suffered greatly, and great was their tri-
umph in consequence. So now, II we shirk
our work, if we finch from the duty Provi-
dence has allotted to us and ignobly haul
down the flag and leave the islands to
fall into anarchy and then become the
prey OF some stronger power, we shall
gain no real peace, and we shall incur un-
dying shame.
1t is set forth with strident emphasis
that mo man is so good as to be fit to
govern another so long as the first man
is an American and the second Tagal
bandit; yet at the very time this argument
is being made those making 1t are amend
ing or conniving at the amendment of the
provide that the white man shall govern
the black. Men may honestly differ as to
expansion; men may honestly differ as
to the need and propriety of the constitu-
tional amendments referred to: men may
honestly object both to our keeping the
Philippines and to the suppression of the
colored vote in our own state: but no honest
and sincere man can in good faith take
the attitude that the consent of the gov
erned' doctrine applies in the Philippines
and not in America. No man who con-
nives at. or expects to profit by, fails
to denounce what has been done in these
American states has the right to ask that
his position be accepted as honest and sin
cere when he nvokes for the Tagals the
very doctrine which he and his followers
have trodden under foot at home.

TRIALS OF FILIPINO NATIVES.

Records Received by tfre Judge Ad.
vocate Gener9l.
The judge advocate general of the army
has received the records of several cases Of
native FiIpinos tried by military. commits
sions for various crimes, srrh as murder,
robbery, etc. In one case native was con-
victed Of murder, arson. robbery and bur
glary, and was sentenced to be hanged The
sentence was approved by Gen. Macarthur
and carried into effect at the town Of Jaro,
Panay, July IT,
In another case a native was found guilty
by a military commission at San Fernando
de Union of lurking about post occupied
by the army of the United States and act
ing as spy In time of Instruction against
the United States" He was sentenced to
be hanged by the neck until dead, two-thirds
Of the commission concurring therein. Gen.
Macarthur disapproved the findings and
sentence in this case, but directed that the
accused be held as a prisoner Of war. He
said that the evidence Of record, while con-
elusive as to the connection of the accused
with the insurgent forces, does not, in his
opinion, definitely establish that his pres
ence within the lines Of the American army
was for the purpose and with the intent
necessary to constitute him spy as that
term Is defined by the laws of war.
In another case a native was found guilty
of 'instigating riots and ordering killing of
Chinese residents In violation of the laws
and usages of war" and robbery, and
fenced to be confined at hard labor for three
years. On account of irregularities in the
record the proceedings and sentence were
disapproved by Gen. Macarthur.
Orders in the cases of two other natives
are published. One was accused of robbery
and murder He was found guilty Of rob-
berry, but not of the more serious crime, and
sentenced to the pententiary for ten years.
Gen. Macarthur dsapproved the sentence
in this case also on account of irregularities
in the proceedings. The other. prisoner was
charged with violations of the laws Of war
in giving information to the enemy. He
pleaded guilty and was sentenced to the
penitentiary for one year, which sentence
was approved by the reviewing authority.

DANGER TO THE USER.
Poison Employed in the Mounting of
Certain German Silver Mares.

Poison Employed in the Mounting of
Certain German Silver Wares.
United States Consul Schuman at Mainz
has made a report to the State Department,
in which he calls attention to the alleged
danger to health In the use of silver-mount-
ed ware.
"a Frankfort newspaper" he says "calls
attention to the fact that for some time
past certain kinds of silver-mounted glass
and porcelain wares, such as cups. glasses,
jars. vases. etc, have been placed upon the
market. The silver on these articles is ap-
piled by means of a galvanoplastic process.
in baths which contain very large quanti-
ties of potassium cyanide. AS glazed wares
have innumerable hair-like cracks, this
deadly poison enters these cracks; and the
articles, beautiful to look at. become Sc
we're menace to the health of anybody using
or handling them, especially as 1t is i'm
possible in the course of manufacture to
remove this poisonous residuum.
Only short time ago q very severe
case of poisoning resulted from the use of
such ware.
Il have spoken with member of the
firm or Martin Mayer, the largest manufac-
turers and importers of jewelry in this con-
suar district, in order to ascertain the ac-
curacy of the foregoing assertions. l was
informed that the statements were perfect
ly true and the danger lurking in these ar
ticles was not in the least exaggerated NV
informant said that his firm refuses to
manufacture these wares, on account of the
danger to the workmen, as we'll as to any
one using the goods.
II am told that these goods are chiefly
exported to the United States from Frank
fort. Berlin. and Stuttgart
1T might be well for the public to be in
formed of the danger in these goods, and
steps might be taken to prohibit their
sale"

DECIDED REPUBLICAN DRIFT,
Director Roberts View of Conditions
West of the Missfsstppi


Mr. George E. Roberts, director of the
sence in Iowa. He says that the appoint
ment of Representative Dolliver TO succeed
the late Senator Gear has been so manifest
ly satisfactory to the republican voters of
the state that all opposition to his election
by the general assembly for the long term
has ceased, Mr.. Cummns, the only candi-
date who had proposed to make a contest,
having withdrawn.
THE presidential campaign" Mr.. Roberts
said, lis a little slow in Iowa The demo-
Gratis are listless and the republicans SO
confident that it is difficult to create any
interes. in politics there. The democrats
will contest two of the districts but the
republicans expect TO keep the delegation
solid If the vote is fun Mckinley's major
ity in the state will be as large as four
years ago. There are some losses partic-
u,arly among the Irish, of democratic pro-
ciivities who voted for Mckinley before.
There will be some loss among German
voters, but the latter as rule are firmly
against Bryan. On the other hand the
free silver republicans who went off to
Bryan four years ago are nearly all back
in the party, and there is a substantial
gain from sound money democrats who
shave become republicans to stay. j think
the republican party in Iowa is stronger to-
day than ever before.
West of the Mississippi river the drift IS
decidedly to the republicans. Democratic
talk of carrying Minnesota is entitled to no
weight. They will not come within $1,000
votes of it. The Dakotas are both republi-
can and Kansas is considered safe. / have
confidence that this drift our way which is
so apparent in all the west will be found
to be prevalent in Nebraska also, although
that is a state in which populism is we'll
seated
ut s~hardly to be expected that Illinois
will give as large a republican majority as
four years ago. There is a likelihood that
it will settle back toward the ordinary re
publican majority. but there is no reason TO

TRYING TO AVERT STRIKE.
Conference of Miners Representatives
From the Anthracite Dtxtricts.

HAZELTON, Pa. September S.-Efforts
are still being made here to bring about
settlement of the impending strike. John F.
Fahey and Thomas Duffy, members of the
executive board of the three anthracite
mining districts, are in conference behind
closed doors with Father Phillips; but they
have nothing to give out for publication.
Father Maloy of Audenried, and General
Superintendent Richards and Division Su-
perintendent Hadesty of the Lehigh and
Wilkesbarre Coal Company held a four
hours consultation this morning. Father
Maloy urged upon the Lehigh and Wilkes
barre officials the desirability of comforting
with the United Mine Workers, but Gen.
eral Manager Richards refused to accept
any such proposition. The company will
deal only with its own men, The United
Mine Workers said to be well organ
ized at the collieries controlled by this
company The refusal of the Lehigh and
Wilkesharre Company to recognize the mine
workers, with whose committees the Of
ficials conferred frequently during the
strike here three years ago, and through
whom the trouble at Audenried and Honey
Brook was settled is taken as an indica-
ton that the operators are now determined
to oppose the union to the bitter end

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. September s.-The
national board of United Mine Workers
resumed it's closed session at $50 this
morning. After the meeting the board
members said the situation had not
changed during the night. No disposition
has been manifested by the operators to
meet any of the demands made by the
miners either through the national officers
or the district officers in the anthracite
region.
The utmost secrecy attended the board
meeting this morning Before noon Presi-
dent Mitchell said: Nothing has been
done. No strike order has been issued 1t
is highly probable that there will be no
statement issued by our board before this
evening. The situation remains as it was
last night

called out 10000 miners, was issued on
Sunday, July t. 1t now looks If the
great anthracite strike order will first go

The board members deny the report that
a lobby of business men from the east has
been in Indianapolis trying to prevent a
strike order. Nobody has called on the
board for such a purpose.

district organizers of the United Mine
Workers for the upper end of the Wyoming
valley We're in session in this city today.
They were in communication with the ex-
ecutive board, now in session at Indianap-
oils. Just what the nature of the corre-
spondence was is not known, but one of
the organizers said a general strike order
might be sent out at any time.
If the order comes it will create no sur
prise, as everybody is now of the opinion
that the strike cannot be averted All the
mines in the Wyoming valley were in op-
Grafton today usual. The officials of the
various coal companies who have offices in
this city met today and discussed the stu

interviewed that they had no informa ton

FOR A LEPER COLONY.
Three Small Islands Near the COast of
Cebu Selected.

Ihree Small Islands Near the COaat Of
Cebu Selected.
A board Of army officers. of which Mai
l.. NJ Maus of the medical department was
president, appointed to select an island or
Islands In the Philippines for the establish
ment OF leper colony, has completed its
work and submitted its report to Gen. Mac
Arthur.
The report Of the board has not vet been
made public, but it is understood that It
recommends that the proposed colony be
established on group. Of three small is
lands near the coast of Cebu in the south
ern archipelago. Considerable difficulty
was found IN selecting a suitable place
There are about 20. 600 lepers in the Philip
pines, and 1t was necessary to find fertile
tract of land adapted to the production of
variety of products easy Of cultivation.
The board found that most of the places
answering this description were densely
populated, and even where suitable places
did not have so many inhabitants 1t was a
difficult problem to provide for their trans
fer to some other place. Before making
selection they visited nearly one hundred
Islands, including Lubang. Hin, Bulular
Semirara. Maestro de Campo, Cibuyan,
Bantiyan, Romblon. Commotos, Zamboanga
and other small islands. The members of
the board penetrated into the heart of
every island and We're cordially received
everywhere. They did not find 1T necessary
during their entire trip to fire single shot
nor did they meet with a hostile remonstra-
ton of any kind. Peace prevailed every
where and many of the natives expressed
themselves entirely satisfied with exist
ing American rule.

business man of experience and an ardent

the condition of the country is such that
1t would be almost criminal for the people
to change front this year and commit the
''hari-kari of electing Mr.. Bryan with his
free silver ideas to the presidency to inau-
gurate such financial dearth as the coun-
try experienced from 1893 to 1894
Mr.. Lee is especially familiar with the
views of colored republicans. and he says
that the outlook, as he sees it, is most en-
conragtng. Indeed, he does not believe that
In the end the party will lose s per cent of
the colored vote In any of the close states.

nois he is well acquainted and he is in cor
