AFTER ALL OUR FIGHTING.
Other Nations to Have Same Trade
Advantages In Philippines
as Uncle Sam

New York, Jan. pa special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Representative Payne's bill to extend
the customs and internal revenue laws
of the United States over the islands of
Porto Rico will be considered by the
house committee on ways and means
during the present week. All the Re
publican members of the committee and
probably Representative Newland will
vote to report the bill favorably. It is
not certain, however, that the report
will be made this week, as both the ma
jority and the minority will probably
wish to prepare statements on the con-
Stitutional question involved.
p 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 pos
sessions of the United States, except
Porto Rico and Hawaii shall be brought
into the revenue system of the United
States. The present policy of the adj
miniStratiOn and of the leaders in con-
gress is to have the Philippines perman-
emily retain their own tariff against
the United States and all other coun-
tries, giving all other nations the same
trade advantages that are enjoyed by
the United States, in accordance with
the "Open door, principle. Under the
treaty with Spain the United States is
obliged TO maintain this system for ten
years at least.

KANSAS JACK RABBITS
Saved From Teeth of the Hounds by
Chicago Humane Society.

Chicago, Jan. 22.-The Herald
says: That coursing is doomed in Chi
cago was emphatically made manifest
yesterday. At the acknowledged head
quarters of the enthusiasts men and
dogs had gathered. The jackrabbits,
imported from Wichita, Kansas, at an
expense of $3.50 apiece, were there, and
all that was necessary was to start the
game going. But the agents of the Hi
nois Humane Society and biuecoated
officers detailed by the city came also.
And there was no coursing.
The coursers came early and brought
their hounds, eager for the chase of
the festive jackrabbits.
It was all to no purpose. Two de-
tectfves sent by the humane society
were on the ground early and hob
nObbed with the bluecOats detailed
thither by the city authorities. The
ukase against courSing promulgated a
week ago was evidently still in force
and backed by the law, and there was
no help for it.
President John G. Shortan, of the
humane society, had this to say to-day
of the action of the organization in
stopping the cOursing: I'VE sent out
officers to arrest any persons who
might attempt to have cOursing. We
have no quarrel nor has the state of
Illinois, with any persons who destroys
mercifully a life that he owns, but to
torture an animal to death is forbid
den by the laws of Illinois. 1t is Ger
tainly great torture and an unneces-
sarily cruel act to cause the death of
an animal through the agency of the
teeth or claws of any other animal set
on simply for SO-called sport. It is a
1aWless, demOralizing sort of entertain
ment and ought not to be counten-

OUT OF WITNESSES.
Clark Committee Adjourns Until
More Arrive.

Washington, Jan. 22-When the SEN
ate committee on privileges and cleo
lions began it's session to-day for the
continuance of it's investigation of the
charges of bribery in connection with
the election of Senator Clark of Mon
tana, Ex-senator Faulkner informed
the committee that the Rector letters
had not yet arrived. He said they had
left Butte last Monday night and were
expected hourly.
The first witness of the day was A. L,
Smith, president of the Montana Ma
tional bank of Helena Evidently the
purpose of calling Mr.. Smith was to
show transactions of the bank involv-
ing Senator Clark or members of the
last Montana legislature. He could re-
call the names of only a few members
who had accounts at the bank last
winter and these had, he said, been de-
pOSitors at the bank for several years.
Welcome had transacted any business
in the bank during the last session of
the legislature, except that Senator
Clark had opened an account with the
bank just prior to the close of the ses-
sion. He had then given him a per-
sonal check for 1000, and he had
never drawn upon the account since.
Smith said the bank kept no record
of $1,000 bills passing through it, and he
did not remember giving any out ex
cept in one or two instances. which
cases were not connected with the leg
islature or senatorial contest. He also
said that his bank and the bank of
Clark & Brother of Butte exchanged
business.
Patrick w. Murray, a member of the
Montana legislature from Butte, testi-
fed that he had several times been ap-
preached and his vote solicited for
Clark for the senate. He detailed the
particulars of two interviews with a
Mr.. Gallick. a supporter of Clark, who
had on both occasions held up his
hands and spread out his fingers and
thumbs, saying that he Ghe witness)
could have that" for his vote if cast
for Clark for the senate. EIe also said
that George Casey had come to him
to buy a piece of mining ground which
the witness owned, but that the condi-
ton of the sale was that he should
vote for Clark for the senate. He had
refused all the propositions because
Clark had opposed the election of the
ticket on which he had made the race
for the legislature. Murray said he had
not been employed by DAILY for four
teen years, and was under no obliga-
lions to that gentleman. At this point
the prosecution announced that they
had no more witnesses on hand, and the
committee adjourned until tomorrow.

HALTTHE'PENSION SHARKS

[Frrom the Philadelphia Pressl
Mr. Curtis, representative from Kan
sas, has introduced a resolution for the
appointment of special committee to
investigate Pension Commission Evans
administration of the pension depart
ment. This is another of the many
forms in which the pension sharks in
sidiously pave the way to break down
the barriers which now obstruct the
robbery of the treasury by pension
frauds.
The pension sharks have cost this
country hundreds of millions of dollars
by forcing the enactment of laws which
the true soldiers did not want and
which congress did not approve when
they We're enacted. 1t was done under
pressure, organized by the pension
sharks and the mercenary soldiers who
were rarely, if ever, in battle.
The president heartily sustains Pen
sion Commissioner Evans, and the coun-
try will as heartily approve his honest
and faithful administration of our pen
sion laws. Let the pension sharks go to
the rear.

densely wooded section, apparently to
take water for the engine
The engineer performed his part, slow
ing the train to a halt. Immediately
volleys were fired at the train. Mr.
Patch. regardless of flying bullets,
jumped from the train, ran forward to
the engine, mounted it, revolver in
hand. and gave the engineer the alter
native of death or proceeding. The en-
gineer sullenly complied and the train
drew away before the rebels could
reach it.
Years afterward Gen. Sherman was
addressing a crowd in Galesburg. He
noticed Mr.. Patch in the crowd and
called him to the stand.as the man who
had saved him from capture.
During the war Mr.. Patch received in

The st. Joseph team won by the score

WHY IT'S "FOGGY".
Cold Air From Prairies Condenses
When It Reaches Valleys.

This mornings fog is rated by the
weather bureau as dense. If objects
can not be seen LOCO feet away a fog
is dense.
This morning buildings a block away
could not be seen through the fog.
Weather Observer Jennings said: ''I
think this fog was caused by the cold
air from the prairies coming in over the
valley and condensing the moisture
from the river. The night was quiet
the wind not making over four miles
an hour. Cold air is like water and
flows to the lowest point. The fog was
the heaviest at about the tree tops and

AT THE THEAFER.

s'Too Much Money" a comedy from
the pen of Edward Owings Towne. was
seen by large audiences at the Craw-
ford theater Saturday afternoon and
evening. The piece is probably the first
to bring the Dunkard sect upon the
stage, and what story there is to it
hinges on the objection of that sect to
wealth. The circumstances of the play
cause a man to masquerade as a girl
and some rather ridiculous situations
result.
In the work of the company, that of
Miss Olive Grandson proved to be es-
pecially creditable Miss Grandson
looks well on the stage and handles her
lines and situations cleYerly.

ILLINOIS CENTRAL.

Whether the of dividend on Illinois Central
stock will be increased to cent has yet
been officially announced In the last few years
the road has earned per cent and spent
good deal in betterments. There is doubt of its
ability to continue to pay per cent and have
good deal of money to put into the property. The
Oma ha line of the Illinois Central although it has
not been in operation year yet. is said to be in
excellent shape for handling heavy freight and
passenger business. The road is not the shortest
between Chicago and Omaha, but it's officials say
it has advantages in grades ana in other ways
that enable it make as fast time as any other
between the two points only the portion
Duluth is there anywhere a grade which exceeds
twenty-six feet the mile
