FRIDAY. MAY II. 1900.

We publish elsewhere in this issue the
decision Of Judge William Lochren of the
United States district court, given re-
Gently at a sitting of the court in st.
Paul, Mimi. wherein he takes the ground
that the constitution of the United States
became operative in the island of Porto
Rico Immediately upon the signing of
the treaty with Spain. This decision is
the first to be handed down by a federal
Judge on this very important subject. 1t
is of interest as the conviction of a Judge
who stands high in the estimation of his
fellow Judges, and will form precedent
with which other courts will have to
reckon in similar cases. Judge LOchren.
it is to be noted in passing, is a former
NermOnter, having been brought here
by his parents from Ireland i'm early
childhood. He was educated il Yer.
mont schools and was admitted to the
bar at st. Adams in 1856. later removing
to the new west.

The days news from Manila tells of
fighting in Luzon in which two Ameri-
cans were killed and the Filipinos "lost
heavily; of fighting 10 the island of
Samar, in which two Americans were
wounded and 1876 natives left dead on the
field; and of fighting in the island of
Leyte, in which l25 natives were killed,
with no American casualties.
Reports of the character of the two
last have been frequent in recent weeks.
Thus some days ago it was recorded that
three attachments of the lG h regiment
surrounded number of natives. ma
iority of whom were armed only with
bolos. and killed so of them. There
we're no casualties among the Americans.
No mention was made of any wounded
or captured natives. The inference left
by the dispatches was that the whole
body of the enemy had been wiped out.
This was certainly the case in the re-
ported encounter, at about the same
time, of Lieut. Batch and 20 men of the
| 9th regiment with 30 bolo men. The
latter were cornered in river and
every one of them was shot, "the
bodies floating away" One American
was killed. 1t was further reported the
other dav that Gen. Bells men. in the
]
Camarines. met with many small squads
of bolO men and "kllled IA total of l25. "
No American casualties; no wounded or
captured natives. apparently. At the
same time another night was reported in
Albay province. where APT. Gordon
and three companies on the 18th rcgl
ment routed a large force of insurgents
and killed 80 of them; no casualties on
the Ameiic side, and no mention OF
wounded and captured natives.
Gen. OTIS reported "A month ago that
from January | to April !, l2G Filpino-
had been killed and left on the field. On
Friday last he cahled that during the
month Of April l72l FilipinOs had beer
"klled, wounded and captured" The
reports of the fighting in detail above
given show that the wounded and
captured" must have been added by way
of so'tenng the statistical exhibit of our
progress for the month, and really had
no place in connection with the figure

MoRALlzlNG ON THE SHAW CASE

The notoriety that has been given YER
mont, and especially Addison county and
Middlebury, by reason of the chase and
capture of Frank and Dustin Shaw, is
anything but desirable. But when to the
publishing wide and far of the sehsa-
tohal features of the hunt is added the
sickly editorial morslizing of the metro
politan press on the condition of civil
ization that made such hunt possible
well, that is adding insult to injury with
a vengeance.
That the very evidences of the peace
full and orderly condition that normally
prevails in Vermont should be twisted to
prove the contrary true, is not credtable
to the reasoning powers of the writer's
who advance the proposition. In the
large cities ail-breaker would probably
be hunted by an officer or two, while a
few hoodlums of the street might be
added to the chase in the case of a man
who. in his effort to escape. should kill
an officer. Such events are of too fire.
quent occurrence in densely populated
districts to demand more than few lines
in the daily press. The rarity of the
deed in Vermont caused its preparation
to shock the whole community. and men
of all classes Joined the officers in their
efforts to capture the criminals. With
the one exception of the unsuccessful at
tempt to put bloodhound on the trail,
this chase was no more sensational than
a similar hunt in the alleys and bystreets
of a city. Many city criminal has
turned at bay to fight pursuing officers
and has been brought to time by well
directed shot That is taken As a matter
of course. 1t is not an everyday event
in Vermont; so page after page filled the

Representative Warner of Illinois has
reported to congress bill to provide for
revision and codlhcation of all the
laws of congress of a permanent and
general nature under titles, chapters,
sections and other suitable divisions and
subdivisions similar to previous editions
of the "Revised Statutes" The last
complete revision of the laws of the
United States was in 1873. In 1873 a
supplemental volume was published and
another in 1891, but those enacted since
the latter date can only be found by a
tedious and perplexing search through
the annual reports of the acts of con-
gress. 1t is now proposed to appoint a
commission to revise and cOdify all
statutes of the United States now in
force, with proper indexes.

PITY AND BEAUTY

The most beautiful thing,

all dimples and JOY. The
most pitiful thing is that same
baby thin and in pain.
The di1nples and JOY lave

It is fat that is gone; gone
with it, comfort and color and
curve; all but pity and love.
The little one gets no fat
from her food: has had none
for weeks: she is living on
what she had stored in that
plump little body of hers.
She is starving for fat; it is
death; be quick!

Will save her.

SHARKS ARE COWARDLY FISH.

NotwithstandinE Their Proves They
Manifest Fear OF Man.
Many tales have been told Of how
human beings have been devoured by
the fish that Is known as the maneater.
Although many of these have been
greatly exaggerated they are to a GER
ain extent true. 1t is olso true that
sharks have been known to follow a
ship for days, picking up and eating
that which had been thrown overheard
rs waste.
Notwithstanding all Of this. the cow
ardliness of sharks Is well known
,mong men who have been much to sea
n southern waters. The f1ercest shark
will get out Of the way Of a swimmer
If the latter sets up a noisy splashing.
A shark fears anything that splashes
N the water. Among the South Sea
stands the natives never go bathing
,lone, but always in parties of half a
lozen or so, in order that they may
make a great hubbEb in the water and
thus frighten away the sharks. Once
in a while a too venturesOme swimmer
lmong these natives foolishly detaches
himself from his party and fOrgets to
keep up his splashing. Then there Is a
swish and the maneater comes up from
under him like a fash and he " gone.
