Foraker Says the Republican Platform
Was Altered Without His
knowledge.

NEW YORK, June 30.-Senator For
aker. OF Ohio. has given the Tribune a
statement regarding his knowledge Of
what was done by the subcommittee
on resolutions Of the republican party
when the platform was being framed.
He says the subcommittee had three
and probably four meetings before II
reached the full committee, and he at
tended only the first two meetings.
He says that his knowledge OF the
action of the subcommittee Is confined,
therefore, TO the first and second meet
ings. 1t may be remembered that
General Grosvenor, Of Ohio, charged
that a plank in the platform defining
the power Of congress over the terri
tory Of the United States had been
approved by President Mckinley and
had been agreed TO by the sub-com-
mittee on the platform, but had been
surreptitiously excluded In the final
draft Of the platform.
In his statement for publication In
the Tribune. Senator Foraker says that
at neither one Of the meetings he at
tended did any one suggest that the
plank asserting the power Of congress
to govern the territories should be
omitted, nor did any one suggest that
! the plank in regard to the merchant
marine should De modified az Il was.
The senator from Ohio knew nothing
about the changes and omissions until
he read the platform as.it family APP
peared.
Senator Foraker statement is as
follows: iIiHHA

and Clothe and House Them.
WASHINGTON. June 30.-The war
department has received an interesting
report from General Davis, command
ing our for:es in Porto Rico. concern
ing the great hurricane which swept
over the island last August and the
conditions resulting from the efforts
Of the United States TO maintain the
islanders through their consequent poy-
erty and suffering. Referring to the
food issued by the government to ma
tives. General Davis says:
THE natives have become lmbued
with the belief that the United States
Is TO supply food. rebuild their houses
and give them all the necessaries OF
life for an indefinite period. II seems
impossible to make them understand
that the aid was only intended TO tide
them over and enable them TO recover
from the great disaster. They seem
lndisposed to replant their crops, and
when January !, 1900, arrived (the date
which General Davis had fixed for dis
continuing food issues), the evidence
Of suffering was so great that / was
forced to recommend It's continuance
The amount Of food issued, however
was reduced as far as was compatible
with actual need, and $4,000 was APP
propriated for work, that large num-
Der Of laborers might be thus en-
ployed and effective aid extended. An
aggregate Of 100000 rations daily is now
being issued, however. Should all APP
plications be considered favorably the
Issues would amount to nearly half a
million ratlons day at cost Of
$500
These issues are pauperizlng the
people, instilling into their minds the
idea that they have only to refuse
to work to be supported by the govern
ment In the opinion Of Governor Al
len. relief supplies should not be sent
to Porto Rico in the future, and sup
plies should be furnished no longer
to the larger and more prosperous
planters but should be given only to
the smaller planters and TO these for
only short time longer"
General Davis recommends action ac-
eording to these views, and accordingly
the secretary Of war has directed him
10 cease the distribution Of rations in
Porto Rico on July Is.

points of view, though it may be said
that the picturesque is attained at the
sacrifice of consistency. The most i'm
portant alterations were made by the
Right Hon. William Conygham in
1885, after the designs of James Watt.

Killeen castle, for many centuries
the residence of Lords Killeen and
Fingall, is in the same county. The
castle was originally built by De Lacy
in 1880, but has been much altered and
enlarged since then. 1t possesses but
few traces of great antiquity, having
been in many ways rebuilt after the
designs OF Francis tombstone towards
the close of the last century. The
Plunket family branched into the two
houses of Killeen and Dunsany about
1880. The two sons were married on
the same day, and it was agreed that
the boundaries of their respective
properties should be determined by the
sWiftness of their wives, who had to
start at the same moment from Killeen
and Dunsany. The boundary of the
estates was fixed at their meeting
place.

HE KNEW IT ALL.
One Boys Conceit Was Greater Than
His knowledge.

The difference between what a boy
of 16 actually knows and what be
thinks he knows is often remarkable,
and was illustrated not long ago by
the experience Of youth of that age
who lived in this city. The boys
parents had decided to send him away
to school, and as they were somewhat
anxious as to the boys health
southern institution was selected.
When the time for departure arrived
the boy insisted on bidding the mem
bers of the family good-by at home
instead of having them accompany
him to the train and kiss and shed
tears over him in public. To this plan
the family rather reluctantly con-
sented, and as they were somewhat
fearful that he would not get away
safely, but he assured them that he
was old enough to take of himself, and
accordingly, after the good-bys had
been said, he was allowed to go to the
station unattended. No sooner had he
obtained his ticket and passed through
the gates than he was hailed By
number of youthful friends and school
mates who had come to bid him fare

so great as those of Rockingham; still.
it is built on the banks of the River
Jiffey, there more of a stream than

a fine and massive building, consisting
of a central block connected with two
pavilions by semi-circular wings, the
whole building being built in the Ionic
style of architecture. The entrance

staircase has mahogany balusters with

is richly fitted up in the best style of

Ireland and his family. 1t ismost beau

tOoing process by being tattooed first
on the nose, like the women, and not
until they had given evidence of their
courage were they privileged to re-
ceive tattoo marks on any other part
Of the body. This testimony of their
merit as warriors was reserved for
them when they had distinguished
themselves in war by killing an enemy
in battle or by bringing with them
from the field of carnage the scalp of
an enemy taken in the fight. When
they had thus given evidence of their
worthiness to be ranked among the
warriors they had the right to tattoo
their bodies with emblems and figures
illustrative and commemorative of the
incident in which they had proved
their valor.
Every man and woman among the
Indians yielded to the arbitrary GUS
tom of tattooing, but the warriors,
above all, were carried away by this
sort of vanity, and not one of that
class by any chance allowed his op-
portunity to receive this patent of
knighthood to pass by neglected. One
of the ordinary methods adopted by a
warrior to commemorate a heroic deed
in battle, in which he possibly had
killed or in some way overcome an
enemy, was to cause tomahaWk to
be tattOoed upon his right shoulder
and under it the hieroglyphic sign of
the nation to which belonged the con-
quered man.
The operation Of tattooing required
considerable fortitude to be borne
without so much as wincing. A de-
sign was first drawn on the skin, and
this design was then pricked with six
needles, firmly fastened on a line in a
fiat piece of wood After this finely
powdered charcoal was rubbed into the
punctures made by the needles, leav-
ing an ineffaceable print of the design
The operation caused much inf1amma-
ton and sometimes fever, which
brought on severe sickness in case the
patient was neglected while the swell
ing lasted. While the sickness re-
manned the only food given was Indian
corn, and water was the only drink

house being always thrown open when
the family was at dinner. This Gus
tom originated in the sixteenth cen
tury, when the celebrated Grana Uile,
or Grace O'Malley, well noted for
her piratical expeditions, arrived
at Howth on her return
from England, where she had
been paying visit to Queen
Elizabeth. She proceeded to the cas-
tie. but was Mortified to find that the
gates were shut, as the family were at
dinner. She was so outraged at this
slight, repugnant as it was to her
Irish notions of hospitality, that she
went Immediately to the shore, and
took possession Of the son and heir
who was there with a nurse. She
sailed with him to COnnaught, where
her castle stood, and only agreed to de-
liver him up when she was promised
that the gates should always be thrown
open when the family were at dinner
Again, in County Meath, Slane cas-
tie may well be termed a truly royal
residence. Some portions of the cas-
tie are extremely old, having been
built by the Flemings, who were lords
Of Slane before it came into the pos
session of the Conygham family. The

IMPROVED WINE MAKING.

4 new process for producing wine
from grapes, particularly red wine,
has been devised in France with the
result that a better wine. with more
color, more body and an increased per-
centage of alcohol, is produced from
any grade of grapes The process, as
described by the Scientific American,
consists in subjecting the grapes to
the action Of heat and pressure, in
stead Of using them cold under very
slight pressure. By means of the heat
a complete solution of all the red col
oring matter of the grape in its own
juice is affected. The must" more
over is sterilized, so that fermentation
is under control and quality of wine
is obtained superior to that of normal
samples from the same grapes by the
old methods. Thorough experiments
were made with the vintages of 1897
and 1898, both in Tunis and France.
At seven different stations trial was
made by heating 100 tons of grapes. It
was observed that grapes when heated
lose their resistane to pressure to
notable extent, so that the yield of
juice is larger than when not heated
The red coloring matter is dissolved
freely and the juice has richer color
than is obtained in the old way. All
the mines thus made, without excep-
ton, have been better in all respects
than those from the same grapes an
der traditional conditions. A negative
result of the experiments was the ap-
parent demonstration that special fer
ments have little value. Ferments of
various kinds, including some of the
most celebrated high-grade wines.
have been introduced Into the steril-
lied must" but tasters have been IN
able to detect a difference between
wines made with different ferments
from the same must. In districts in
fected with the "tourne" disease the
wines made by the new process are
the only ones that are exempt from
deterioration.

CAPTAIN LOGAN'S RINGS.
One Found Years After His Death on
a Squaw's Finger.

Indian Agent Logan of Browning
Mont, told night Or two ago of an
interesting experience he had while
out in the far northwest His father.
Captain William Logan, was killed in
a fight with the Nez Perces at Big
Hole twenty-three years ago. When
his body was recovered, the little
finger on the left hand had been cut
off at the second joint, and two rings
worn on that finger had been re-
moved. Two years afterward his son,
now the Indian agent, came across
Blackfoot Indian who wore a seal ring.
Upon examination it was found to be
one Of the rings worn by Captain
Logan. The Blackfoot who had it had
obtained it from another Indian, who,
in a fight, had killed the Nez Perez
who wore it, and had removed it by
chopping off his victims finger, just
as Captain Logan's finger had been
amputated. twenty-five years after
the battle in which these rings were
captured a squaw at the Browning
agency attracted the attention of
Agent Logan by a ring worn on her
finger. 1t was q plain gold band, on
one side of which was a Maltese cross
in red enamel, and on the other side
the square and compass engraved. 1t
was his fathers second ring. The
squaw who wore it had traded some
pelts for it and knew nothing of it's
history. Agent Logan traded it into
his own hands, and now wears the seal
ring on his third finger and the Ma
sonic ring on his watch chain. He
will not venture to try either ring on
the little finger. Recalling the rude
method adopted to get them off of two
fingers, he prefers to try one on an
other finger, just to change the pro-
gramme in case an envious person de-
sires to obtain it without his consent.
