One Of the most Objectionable
things in this entire Gage business
has been the finding Of letter from
the Vice President of the National
City bank addressed to the Seereta
ry, claiming favors on account OF tile
political strength of the directorate
and on account OF what was done
in the campaign" The directors
include many men prominent in the
Standard Oil Company ara other
trusts. There is of course, 30 PROOF
that Mr.. Gage was biassed by this
letter but nevertheless the thing
leaves bad taste in the mouth.

McARTHUR's POLICY
Displays Some Lienency Which Gen
 Otis Followed

Manila May 19-The first official account of General Macarthur throwing light on his policy in dealing with the insurgents dis plays the same leniency which General Otis followed. The case was that of d native, Ramon Laezamana, tried by a military commission in Batanzas, convicted of be- ing a spy and sentenced to be hanged. The specification on which he was tried set forth that being a non-commissioned off, ficer of the insurgent army, public enemy engaged in an insurrection against the au- thorities and laws of the United States he did secretly turk and act as a spy about the buildings occupied by the thirty-eighth infantry, and did collect information in re- gard to the numbers resources and opera tions of the army of the United States with intent to impart the same to he en- emy."
 General MacArthur after reviewing the case, decided that while the evidence of the prisoners connection with the insur- gent army was conclusive, it was not proved that his presence within the lines was with the intent necessary to constitute him a syp under the laws of war. He dis approved the sentence and ordered that Laezmana be kept a prisoner of war Gabriel Cayaban, the president of a Pueblo in Pangianina, has been convicted of con spring against the government and sen- tenced to five years imprisonment, with a fine of &, 900. Before leaving Manila Gen. eral Otis reviewed the findings of the com missions which had sentenced several Filipinos to death for guerilla operations. The rule which he followed in all these cases was to approve the death sentence YYtNn tnr~i11 1nt- txfhn hnd Flipinos for supporting the Americans and to reduce to long imprisonment the penal ties against those who had ambushed American soldiers.

PEDDLING BOOZE"
Deputy Marshals Close After Negro
 Whiskey Sellers

Selma, June 4-(Special)-At Riderville, about twenty-five miles up the Southern Railway, there has been evidence of many violations of the United States revenue laws. The E. E. Jackson Lumber Com pany has its immense plant at that place. and several hundred hands and employees are there. Several negroes have been ped ding whisky and selling it to the negroes who work in the mill and the federal au- thorities have been trying to bring them to justice.
 Friday Deputy Marshal White Mason of this city arrested a negro for whom he had a warrant and while turning to address a remark to some bystander the negro whip ped out a razor and made a slash at the officer. MT. Mason happened to see him in time and stepped back, drawing his re- volver and firing point blank at the negro. At the sight of the weapon the negro lodged behind pile of lumber. He then broke for liberty. The officer shot again and this time his man fell, but quickly arose and made good his escape.
 It is not thought the negro was hit but once. though Mir Mason fired several times at his fleeing form. If he was he never stopped
 A grip belonging to the negro was se- cured by the officer and it contained sev- eral razors, tools, etc.

ST. LOUIS STRIKE SITUATION
This Has Been the Most Quiet Day Ye
 Experienced 4..#

St. Louis June A.-The day just ended has been the most quiet since the great railway strike began on May s.
 J. H. Stilson, a motorman in the employ of the St Louis Transit Company, died to- day as the result of wounds received in a riot in South St. Louis on May %
 To the Central Trades and Labor Union the committee appointed to appeal to or ganized labor throughout the world for funds to procure conveyances to run in competition with the Transit Company, to- day reported that communications have been addressed to more than 6,000 labor unions Answers had been received from twenty-one, who had written encouraging ly and sent in.

GENERAL WHEELER
 REACHES CHICAGO
He Says War in the Philippines
 is About Over.
REBEL ARMY MERE REPAYMENT
As to Politics He Says As Long As He is in the Army He Will Have No Political
 Views

Chicago, June General Jo- seph Wheeler, who is to assume command of the department of the Lakes arrived here this evening His two daughters are with him. General Wheeler said:
 '"The war in the Philippines is practically ended. No organized opposition exists what there is consists of the remnant of the rebel army and bahditti. Our troops are simply holding the country now The force can easily be spared from the island for work in China. General Hall, who is to command in China, I regard as a most able officer, admirably ftted for the task. He saw a great deal of the fighting to the south of Manila, and l know he will win his promotion in China"
 Concerning political questions and his probable attitude if political honors were offered him, General Wheeler replied:
 "As long as I am in the army, and can remain in it, I will have nothing to do with politics."

TONNE EXPECTS IT
He Thinks He Will be Nominated at
 Kansas City

Duluth, Minn., June A.-Charles A. Towne takes exceptions to the inference drawn in a dispatch from Austin, Tex, yesterday morning that he would withdraw from the Vice-Presidential race if not nominated at Kansas City. He says, how ever, that he fully expects to receive the nomination. The dispatch referred to quoted an extract from a letter written by MT. Towne to Major Walton of Austin, in which he said:
 My friends know that no personal con sideration would influence me to stand in the way of success of the party for which we are contending."
 Mr. Towne said tonight that there was nothing in the letter upon which an inti- nation of his course as to the Vice-Presi- dency could be based.
 You may say, however" continued MT Towne, that I expect to be nominated for Vice President at the Kansas City con- vention, and I have more support at pres ent for the nomination than any other man."
