MIR. Hoar in n New Role

For a long time the Hon. George Frisbie
Hoar of Massac husetts has enjoyed the
questionable eminence of being poou.a-Iy
considered in a large degree resPo,is. bic
for the Philippine insurrection. His friend
Iy relations with the Tagal EN- -ssarfes when
they were in Washington; his panegyrics
in which he was won't to compare Aguin-
aldo with Washington to the depreciation
| of the latter, and his speeches in the Sen
ate, of solid comfort TO the rebels all tend
ed to give him d sort of copyright prop
erty in the insurgent cause. His impor-
tance to ii was early and often recognized
! by the Malay leaders. His oratoricai ef-
forts translated into choicest Tagalog,
cheered the natives al their campfres and
fired their hearts with mad desire for Yam
kee blood. When any of the little brown
| chieftains wanted 10 let their friends and
admirers II this country know how they
were gettir on, II was entirely natural for
them TO indite few lines to Hoar, al
though they regarded Pettigrew quite as
highly and sometimes wrote to him
But the aged Senator seems TO have tired
of his greatness since he made his peace
with Hanna and came out for tie candi-
as a despot and a merciless oppressor of
the gentle man-eating bolomeR of Luzoni
Now he wants to resign his seeptre and
pass it over 10 the Hon. William J. Bryan
whose anti-imperialism he declares to be
Of the common or garden variety and not
good enough to mention in his company
The anti-imperiaIism Of Mr.. Bryan and
that of his party is but mask, says Mr..
Hoar; mask to cover deep designs
against the holy gold standard, the sacred
trusts and their power to rob the people.
and against the halIowed New AlgIand
rum combination. the cabbage-leaf tobacco
dealers of Connecticut, and so on. He does
not refrain from accusing the Democrats
candidate of encouraging the Philippine
rebels by his promise to recommend Con-
gress 10 give them a stable government.
in lieu of the present imperial carpetbag
article, in case of his election to the Presi-
dency.
It will not work! It were easier TO de-
tach the name and fame of the Father of
His Country from the surrender of Lord
CORVALLIS, than to associate the patrony-
mic of George .Frisbie ,Hoar from the cause
of Aguinaldo. They are nailed together
with the bayonet thrusts that have killed
American soldiers, and glued fast with the
blood of Lawton and his dead and gone
comrades. A perpetual and non-nego-
table patent like that of the Massachu-
sets ex-NestoI of Anti-ExPansionists
is not to be transferred to anyone.

We are satisfied that Mr.. WI Ting fang
is right in saying that the Chinese are IN
like other people. 1t is reported on native
authority that they retreated at Yang
tsun because they could not stand the lyd-
dite shells rained on them by the allies.
In South Africa, during the Ladysmith
campaign, the British employed these mis-
SHES and the Beers were used to laugh at
them. However, the obvious moral is to
send plenty of lyddite to our Army in
China.

pecially in college towns, where l can

work will be done with the pen, or,

WHY JAMES J. HILL BOUGHT
STOCK IN THE ER|EROAD.
THINKS 1T A GOOD PROPERTY THAT
CAN BE MADE TO PAY
DIVIDENDS.
ALL TRANSCoNTINENTAL TALK
DECLARED To BE THE VERIEST
RUBBISH AND WITHOUT THE
LEAST FOUNDATION.

ST. PAUL, Mimi, December IS
James J. Hill, president of the Great
Northern Railway, to-day gave the AS
ISOLATED Press the following statement
in answer to the reported absorption
of the Erie road, the resignation OF
Mr.. Hill as president of the Great
Northern and the allegation that he
will take up the work of organizing a
transcontinental line, taking in the
Erie as connecting link:
LAS to my resignation and taking
up work of the organization of a new
transcontinental line, the story is
nonsense. The fact is, few friends
have Joined me in an investment in
the Erie road, which is good prop
erty and capable of being made into
a paying investment, as has been with
the Baltimore .. Ohio. So far as try
ing to organize great combination Of
lines across the continent is concern
ed, there is absolutely nothing to it.
Such an undertaking would be too
great for any person to handle and
besides that it is impraeticable. The
conditions are too diverse to warrant
any such attempt. IN the east and
west the business conditions are too
far apart to put them under one man
agement. Things must be taken as
they exist. The whole proposition is
nonsensical. As to my retiring from
the presidency OF the Great Northern,
! was reelected to that position at
the annual meeting of the road in Oc-
tober and there is no likelihood of my
getting out of it. | would be glad to
be relieved of some of the burdens Of
the work, but 40 not see any immed-
late prospect of any changes looking to
such an event. | went into the Erie
as an investment and not to increase
my burdens. The road has for a long
time been kicked about, but lies in a
section tn, makes tonnage and it is
to be improved in such a manner as
seems most likely to bring good re-
turns on the investment and make 1t
a permanently good paying property.
But the whole story of gigantic COM
bination is the veriest rubbish"

Special to the Register.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 15-Postmaster
McCreary and ]. B. Findlay, constitut-
ing committee from the Board of
Trade of Parkersburg, to-day called
upon the director of the census, Mr.
Merriam, in company with Senator
Scott to present the claim of that
town respecting the census.
The committee brought with them a
count OF the first ward taken by letter
carriers, which was 4S0 in excess of
the government enumeration. 1t was
asserted that the local census showed
that the population of Parkersburg was
three or four thousand more than the
government figures indicated
Director Merriam promised that he
would have the committees list of
names compared with the lists turned
in by the government enumerators,
and if the discrepancies claimed by
the committee were found to exist
the matter would be rectified either
by recount or a revision of the OIL
cial figures.

WHOLESALE POISONING
MAY Be DUE TO JEALOUSY.
FOUR PERSONS ARE DEAD, THREE
ARE DYING AND TWO ARE
SERIOUSLY ILL.
ALL TOOK SICK AFTER SUPPER
ONE OF THE VICTIMS WAS TO HAVE
BEEN MARRIED TO-
MORROW.

MARIETTA, Ohio, December 15.-As
a result of mysterious case of poison
ing at Forsythe Mines, near here, four
persons are dead, three are dying and
two others are seriously ill.
The dead are Andrew Barnick, Mary
Lucsak, or Lutchak, Andy Litchie and
child, name not given.
The coroner and physician went
to the place to-day and learned that the
victims had died in great agony, suffer-
ing without a doubt from poison. A
post mortem was held at once on the
bodies and the stomachs were secured
for analysis.
Two other men are seriously i'll with
t-e same symptoms as Litchie and are
considered to be in a dangerous condi-
ton.
The people all lived close to each
other and were all taken i'll last night,
after having eaten supper. There are
many signs that poison had been placed
in their food, but by whom is yet to be
determined.
Barnick, the dead man, was to have
been married on Monday to Rose Lai-
chalk, sister of the dead woman.
Tonight telephone message was
received from the Forsythe mines which
says that three other men are in crit
ical condition and cannot live through
the night.
Miss Laichak is also in a serious con-
dition from the nervous shock caused
by the loss of her affianced husband,
who had a home already secured and
furnished to go to housekeeping. She
was unable to go to his bedside, al
though the last request made by Bar
nick was for Miss Laichak to come
that he wanted to see her, and it is sup
posed he had some story to tell that
would disclose the guilt of the person
who is responsible for the wholesale
poisoning.
1t is believed tonight that some one,
jealous of the couple who were on the
eve of marriage, committed the deed

WITH THE SHORTEST MESSAGE
IN ALL HISTORY,

TWENTY-FIVE WORDS, EX
PRESSING HER THANKS.

LONDON, December 15.-Parliament
was dismissed to-day until the middle
of February with the reading of the
shortest Of the Queens speeches. 1t
was as follows:
my Lords and Gentlemen:

you have made for the expenses in
CURED by the operations of my armies
in South Africa ana China"
The proceedings to-day in the House
Of Commons were a repetition in minia-
ture of the debates OF the brief session.
The ministers were heckled, the war
was virulently denounced and Mr..
Chamberlain was further attacked. The
war funds We're finally voted after the
secretary of state for war, Mr.. Brod-
erick, had given assurance that the
government during recess would cordi-
ally cooperate with Gen Kitchener in
an endeavor to end The war.
Particularly singing were the re-
marks Of John Bryn- Roberts, Liberal,
member for the South Elton division of
Carnarvonshire. He declared that the
British treatment of the women OF
South Africa was an outrage on civil
izabion, and that it was blasphemy to
hold Christian services in St. Paul's in
connection with the return of Lord Rob-
erts While there were such proceedings
in South Africa.
Mr.. Broderick holly denounced Mr..
Bryn-Roberts' charges, asserting that it
was criminal to make allegations which
could not he proved, but which, how
ever, would be telegraphed to South
Africa to increase the discomfort ex-
isting there.

MRS. MARY SELLS Maya
! TRY HEVAT|AG THE STAGE.
THE SHOWMAN'S WIFE HAS SEVER
AL OFFERS OF LUCRATIVE
EMPLOYMENT.
MAGICIAN KELLER WANTS HER
To APPEAR IN RED TIGHTS AND
TAKE PART IN HIS CELEBRAT-
ED VANISHING SCENE.
Special to the Register.

Special to the Register.
COLUMBUS, O., Dec 15.-Mrs. Mary
Sells possibly may go on the stage.
She has received quite number
of lucrative offers during the past
three weeks, especially the last week.
Among the latter offers was one from
C. Leslie Adams, the manager of Maud
Adams, and another from Kellar, the
magician. The magician possibly had
read that portion of the evidence in
the trial where Peter Sells says he
was shocked to see his wife come into
the circus ring in the grand parade
before the performance, riding a horse
and attired in a scarlet costume, for
Kellar in his offer suggested that Mrs.
Sells appear in red tights in the
vanishing scene.
Mrs. Sells did not mention from
whom her other offers had been re-
ceived, nor did she say just how tempt
ing, financially, any of these manager
ial propositions were.
She declined all of them, temporar-
lily at least, saying that she preferred
to see the outcome of her husbands
suit before deciding upon plans for her
future.
However, in telling of the offers, she
did not appear at all adverse to going
upon the stage. If she so desires, she
will have an early opportunity to re-
cast her vocation, as the divorce suit
probably will close week from to-
night.
Mrs. Sells attorneys have decided
to put her upon the stand Monday in
stead of Wednesday. A conference be-
tween attorneys on the two sides was
held tonight, at which an agreement
was reached as to the value of Peter
Sells realty. This agreement places
the Columbus real estate at $4,000,
the Kansas City real estate at $4,000,
and allows debts of $4,000, leaving the
amount of realty at $4,000.
No attempt was made to reach an
agreement in regard to alimony. This
will be determined by Judge Evans, but
it was decided by the attorneys that if
the alimony was reasonably large, Mrs.
Sells would not press her claims Of
fraud because of her transfer to Mr..
Sells of the property she held in trust.
