A Law Suit.

Mir. c. F. Whitcher, our efficient at torney, had very singular experience a few days since. While looking over some property, situated in South Clifton, near the river, he missed his footing and fell in mud hole. Fortunately, no bones were broken, but it almost ruined his best suit of clothes. His first thought, upon crawling out, was to enter suit against the owner of the property, but that gentleman finally persuaded him to send it to Nit Simms and have it clean ed and pressed, he agreeing to pay the charges which he did and the affair was settled without further trouble.

At the Academy.

The sheet and pillow case ball at Prof. Prettyman's academy last Satur- day night was grand success, there be- ing thirty-seven couples in attendance. All expressed themselves as having had a most enjoyable time. Prof. Prettyman informs us that there will be a calico ball at the Academy next Saturday night, and that, as Mir. Weston will play the piano upon that occasion, good music and a good time are assured.
 Those urchins who attend the public school and amuse themselves by whit ling on the building and stealing out crayon to form repulsive hieroglyphics and obscene words should be dealt with in a manner that would necessitate their standing while eating for at least month.

THE CULLOM BILL.
Plat Moves to Strike Out the Dele
gate Provision.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-(After-
noon Service. )-Senator Plat of Con-
necticut today gave notice of impor-
tant amendments he will offer to the
bill providing a form of government
for Hawaii a9d Puerto Rico. One of
Senator Platt's proposed amendments
to each of the bills strikes out the pro-
vision for the election of a delegate to
Congress. If adopted, neither Puerto
Rico nor Hawaii would be represented
in Congress. The other amendments
relate to the customs regulations. In
the case of Hawaii he proposes to
eliminate the provision of the Hawaii
an Commission and insert clause for
the continuance of the existing Gus
toms relations between the United
States and Hawaii until further legis-
lation by Congress.
The customs provision suggested by
Mr.. Plat in the case of Puerto Rico re-
quires the collection on Puerto Rican
articles imported into the United States
of "a sum equivalent to 80 per cent of
| the customs duties levied upon like ar
ticles imported into the United States
from foreign countries" Articles orig
mating in the United States and
shipped to Puerto Rico are to pay there
| so per cent of the duty imposed upon
impOrtations from other countries.

HAWAII TO COME IN.
Intended to Give It American Tar
if Laws.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21-Represen-
tative Payne's bill to extend the GUS
toms and internal revenue laws of the
United States over the island of Puerto
Rico will be considered by the House
Committee on Ways and Means during
the present ween. The bill extending
the revenue laws over Hawaii is also
to be advanced as rapidly as possible.
1t is not intended by Congress that
any of the insular possessions of the
United States except Puerto Rico and
Hawaii shall be brought into the rev.
enue system of the United States. The
present policy of the administration
and of the leaders in Congress is to
have the Philippines permanently re-
tain their own tariff against the United
States and all other countries, giving
all other nations the same trade adj
vantages that are enjoyed by the Unit
ed states, in accordance with lie
open door" principle. Under the
treaty with Spain the United States is
obliged to maintain this system for ten
years at least.

THE ROBERTS CASE.
Mr.. Lands Severely Scores the Utah
Saints.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 24-(After-
noon Service. During the debate on
the Roberts case Mr.. Lands went over
the record of the apostles of the Nor
mon Church to show that most of them
were guilty of continued polygamous
practices. Some of his statements
were sensational He scored the church
for its alleged faith, arousing great en-
thusiasm by mis- scathing denunciation.
At times he convulsed the House with
his sarcasm. Of the fifteen apostles of
the church when the proclamation was
issued, he said, eleven were open vio-
lators of the law, and three had I'M
doubleday taken plural wives since it
was promulgated.
Mr.. Lands said he believed, and Mr..
Roberts had not denied, that Margaret
c. Ship had become his plural wife
since Utah was admitted in 1896. He
paid a high tribute to the Christian
missionaries who had worked among
the people of Utah. Mr.. Roberts, he
said, had boosted that he had received
the votes of the Gentiles in his dis
trict. That, Mr.. Lands said. was be-
cause he ran as a Democrat as we'll as
a Mormon, because his opponent had
been DANTE who had killed his man -
In concluding, he adjured the 1000
polygamists in Utah to take care of
their plural wives, but in Gods name
to refrain from multiplying their in
fanny by bringing more children into
the world.

CONSERVATIVES.
California May Forbid Them Admis-
sion to the State.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22.-To keep
consumptives out of California from
the east and the germs of bubonic
plague out of this State from the west
were the themes discussed last night
by the State Board of Health at it's
monthly meeting held in the Grand
Hotel and attended by the members of
the new San Francisco Board of
Health. 1t was also decided by the
State Board that it would, with the ap-
prevail of the Governor, assume COM
plete control of the State quarantine
tug, Governor Perkins, which was
managed by the city board before the
Inauguration of the present municipal
regime prescribed by the new charter.
The members of the State and of the
city boards assured one another that
they all wished to cooperate har-
moniously in the interests of the pub
lie health. Between these two boards
there will be no conflict Of authority.
An effort is to be made by diplomatic
and courteous means to induce the
Federal quarantine officer at Honolulu
to send word at once to San Francisco
aDprising the resident member of the
State Board of Health of any conta-
gious disease aboard any vessel bound
from the Hawaiian Islands to San
Francisco. If DR.. Kinyoun will act in
harmony with the State and city quar-
antine officers they feel that much will
have been accomplished toward pre-
venting the importation of diseases
from Hawaii and the Orient.

Nevertheless, Ruskin was comfortable,

and the military authorities. it might

Other Administration officials read
in a friendly spirit the message from
Senior Mabini. In effect they say that
Senior Mabini is requesting just what
the Administration has contemplated
doing for the Filipinos. The only con-
ditions required are surrender and
complete acknowledgment of the sover-
eighty of the United States. Then will
come civil government and full and
free conference with the natives with
the view TO giving them the largest
measure of self-government
As to the suggestion. for a civil COM
mission, a Cabinet officer told me the
President contemplated sending such a
commission to the Philippines at an
early date. In his message to Con-
gress he mentioned that it would soon
be desirable to send the present COM
mission or a part of it back to Manila,
and this idea is now under considera-
ton.
Concerning the visit of Filipino
commission to this country, the same
Cabinet officer said it would be the

Senior Mabinl Wants a Civil Com

MANILA, Jan. 23.-Senor Mabini,
the strongest counsellor of Aguinaldo
and his Congress, has sent letter to
General Otis asking that the United
States Congress send a civil commits
sion to treat with his countrymen. He
says: Il hope confidently that when
Americans and Filipinos know each
other better not only will the present
conflict cease, but other future ones
will be forestalled."
NEW YORK, Jan. 24.-(Afternoon
Service. "A special to the Herald from
Washington says:
The proposition of Aguinaldo's agent
for making the desires of Filipinos

Government is perfectly feasible. 1t is

peace, which mean surrender, acknowl-

the Filipinos.

Postmaster General Charles Emory
