WHERE ARE WE?
Committee to Determine What
Constitutes the United
States.

Washington, Jan. 10.-The ways and
means committee of the house held a
meeting today at which an important
resolution was adopted upon motion of
Mr.. Newlands of Nevada as follows:
Resolved, That a committee of five
be appointed by the chair to report the
authorities and the law as to the mean
ing of the term United States" in that
provision of the constitution which de-
clares that "an duties, imports and ex-
ports shall be uniform throughout the
United Statee," viz, whether it includes
simply the area actually included with
in the boundaries of states or whether
it covers also the territories belonging
to the United States.
Chairman Payne appointed Messrs.
Dalzen of Pennsylvania, Grosvenor of
Ohio and Hopkins of Illinois, Republi-
crat, and Newlands, silver
This resolution was the outcome of
considerable discussion in the ways and
mans committee, covering several
meetings as to whether the custom laws
of the United States were not extended
to our new possession when they became
United States territory. The immed-
late cause of its adoption was a resolu-
ton to extend the custom and internal
revenue laws of the United States to
Hawaii, which was under consideration.

MADE a $1,000 HAUL
Daring Robbery In Kansas City
Valuable Jewelry Stolen.

Kansas City, Kan. Jan. 1O-A daring
day light burglary was committed at
the residence of Alfred Menny, hob
Central avenue, Kansas City, Kan. The
thief is believed to have worked single
handed and he secured plumber valued
at upwards of 81, 900.
The fellow made no attempt at con-
cealment, but during the temporary alb
sence of the family, coolly smashed one
of the front windows. For some rea-
son or other, however, probably because
he feared that he might be observed
he did not make his entrance at this
point, but walked around to the side
where he broke another window and
climbed through into the house.
He evidently took his time and made
a thorough search for valuables, for ar
ticles of jewelry were taken from al
most every room. A partial list of the
goods secured includes the following:
Two pair of diamond earrings, one dia-
mond breast pin, one diamond stud a
heavy ladies' gold chain, one gentle
mems silver watch, pair pearl opera
glasses, one diamond ring, a mandolin
three revolvers, one gold locket, a gar
net stud, pin with set of seven dia-
monds, one child's souvenir bracelet
one heavy gold ring, one overcoat and
a number of other articles of value.

Soon as He Can.

Washington, Jan 1O.-The following
cablegram from Gen. Otis received at
the war department today in answer to
an inquiry from Adjutant General Cor
bin shows the prospects of reopening
the hemp ports in the Philippines:
Obliged to use all available coasting
vessels in supplying troops in various
islands. Am unable to move troops to
hemp districts as soon as anticipated.
Am now collecting vessels here for that
purpose, the United States transports
are of too great draft. Have opened
Romblon and Capiz and some hemp is
coming in. Will open hemp district as
soon as possible, some time this month.

HANNA SCORED.
j. j. Hill Says the Passage of
the Subsidy Bill Would
Be a Disgrace.

st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 10.-The feature
of the opening day of the annual ses-
sion of the State Agricultural society
was the address of ]. ]. Hill on En-
larged Markets
Mr.. Hill was particularly outspoken
in his opposition to what is known as
the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill now
pending in congress for the second
time.
Il claim it would be a national scan
dal and disgrace" said Mr.. Hill. 'if,
under the guise of helping the agricul-
tural industry of the country, a bonus
of perhaps $450.00O a. year is granted to
a lot of fast Atlantic passenger boats
on which people may go abroad to
spend the money they make here. If
we are ever to get so prosperous-and
so foolish-as to that, first let US raise
the price of wheat above so cents a
buShel."

a VALUABLE WALNUT.
Atchison Man Has Tree Over One
Hundred Years Old.

Atchison, Jan. 10.-The work of cut
ting down the walnut timber in this
part of the country has been in pro-
gress for forty years, and there are not
many valuable trees left.
The walnut tree which is most sought
is a giant south of the McCarty place,
two miles south of town. It towers
above all the other trees like a king of
the forest. 1t is perhaps $50 years old,
and has begun to die and there is a big
rotten hole at the base Ross, the man
who buys walnut timber in the west for
export, has made several attempts to
buy the tree, offering extraordinary
prices, but the owner refuses to sell,
believing the tree will bring a much
larger sum in a few years, when the
supply OF walnut timber is generally
exhausted. The value of the tree lies
in the fact that it has been seasoning
a hundred years and over.

the driver So for each job. One day,
he states, he went into the Dizzy cafe
in Chicago, and found several dozen ac-
tors lounging about. Before evening he
had the entire assemblage intoxicated
on liquor paid for out of his wifes
money.
Willard takes great enjoyment in
telling of his escapade, and seems to
regard it as a particularly clever ad-
venture on his part. He bluntly says
he married Miss Aiken for the sole
purpose of getting as much of her
of shaking her after a time. After
she was stolen away from him and re-
turned to her home in Menominee, she
brought suit for divorce. Her relatives
gave Willard 81, 800 not to appear at
the trial and allow the divorce to go
by default. He now claims that he was
a fool for taking such a small amount,
and says that if it was to be done over
again he would have demanded 5000.
According to Willard, Miss Aiken was
stage struck and fell in love with him
at first sight That was on the occa-
sion of a visit he paid the girls home
as a member of a dramatic company.
Shortly afterward the company dis
banded and he returned to Menominee.
There he arranged an amateur enter
tainment in which Miss Aiken was cast
for the leading part, and at the same
time worked out his scheme. By the
time the entertainment was given,
Miss Aiken was ready to elope with
him and they left Menominee together
a few days afterward.
Miss Aiken is still living with her
relatives in Menominee. Congressman
Stephenson is quite wealthy. and Miss
Aiken is rich in her own right. Willard
has collection of newspaper clippings
concerning his elopement in which he
appears to take great pride.

EXPERTS ARE SCARCE.
Independence Cotton MIL Has Trou-

independence, Jan. 10.-There is a
scarcity Of cotton mill hands in this
country this year, and the mill here at
first had some trouble in securing the
help they needed.
Mr.. Jeff Bolt made trip into the
southern states and after three weeks
secured 20 experts. They came here
and went to work, and the management
of the local mill, knowing the difficulty
that mills have in securing men, began
at once to teach some of the home peo-
pie the art of running machines. 1t
was wise move as a big mill at st.
Louis sent word here last Saturday for
six expert mill hands, Offering to pay
their transportation to that city. Six
Of the men imported from the south
left Saturday night, and three more of
the men. who were dissatisfied with
some conditions at the mill, resigned
Saturday night.
The cotton mill here pays a higher
scale of wages than any other mill in
the west or south and are now working
about 55 hands, principally ladies'

RFvERrpqE,s GREAT SPEECH

Senator Beveridge of Indiana,
through the medium of his remarkably
able and eloquent speech on the Philip
pine question, delivered in the United
States senate yesterday, sprang at one
bound into the very center of the arena
Of American craftsmanship. He made
a. deliverance which will command the
attention not only Of the people of his
own country, but Of the civilized world.
He has attained at a leap prominence
as a public man, surprising that of
many of his colleagues, who have par
ticipated in shaping the nations des-
TIMES for years.
Whether one agrees with the Indiana
senator or not, it must be conceded that
he made a great speech, covering al
most, If not quite, every phase Of the
question and dealing with every argu-
ment Of the opposition in detail
There can be little doubt that the
senator's utterances will receive the ap-
prevail Of his party as an organization.
This alone will give him rank as one
OF it's leaders, and will entitle him to
a prominent place in the party coun-
ellis.
The entire country is forced to recog-
nize in Mr.. Beveridge not merely a
coming man but one who IS already
here.
Success such as his can only be at
tanned when there are present oppor-
tunity and a will to do and dare His
opportunity came when he was elected
to the United States senate. He was
wise enough to see that the Philippine
question was destined to become an i'm
portant one. He began at once to pre-
pare himself to meet it in an intelligent
way.
Instead of resting contented on the
honor conferred upon him and waiting
for his term of Office to begin, he at
once started for the orient, where he
spent some months gathering material
for the speech which the State Journal
was enabled to present to its readers
yesterday.
His Is an example that might profit
ably be followed by others entrusted
with the responsibility of assisting in
looking after the nations welfare.

tary Scaggs, of the Texas Real Estate

be introduced in the state meeting to

in favor of the Acknowledgement of wo-
men, and that the officers of the as

American citizens on account of sex
the other that the word male should
not be inserted in the suffrage clause

VERDICT FOR AsBURY.

Suit Over a Section of Land Near Ar
lington Settled
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1900-01-10

case of Richard F. Gilmore VS.. John
Asbury have brought in a verdict for
the defendant. The suit was brought
by Mr. Gilmore to get possession of
section of land near Arlington
In 1885 the elder Gilmore, who is now
too aged and feeble to appear as wit
ness, bought the land and gave it into
charge of his son-in-law, John Asbury.
Mr.. Asbury's claim is that he was in
structed to go ahead and use and i'm
prove the land until his son became of
age when it was then to be decided to
the boy. Some time ago the land was
decided to Richard Gilmore who
