CHARGED TO SENATOR HoAR.
ais Anti-Expansson Speech Said to
Have Caused the Filipino
Insurrection.

chicago. Jan. 15.-John Barrett, ex-
United States minister to Siam. for the
drst time publicly named Senator Hoar.
Saturday night, at Lake Forest uni-
Verslty, as the United States senator
whose anti-expansion speech was ca.
tied to Hong Kong and subsequently,
put IN the hands of the Filipino SOL
diers, causing, as Mr.. Barrett believed
the open instruction.
Frequently this speech and its pre-
sumed effects have been mentioned,
and the reading public has connected
the name of Senator Hear with it. and
it is probable that Mr.. Barrett would
not have used the lawmakers name on
this occasion had he not been facing
an audience known to be largely hos
tile to the administrators policy in
the oriental islands.
1t appears further, from the ex-min-
listers speech, that the government has
discovered privately the stages BY
which the anti-expansion address
reached Luzon.
There was much interest in the re-
ception Mr.. Barrett's speech would
meet. At the close of the meeting he
was cheered, and the audience of sew
eral hundred people waited in line to
shake hands with him.
In the course of his address, which
was on the general subject of the
Philippines, the speaker said it had
been discovered in the governments
investigation that Senator Hoar's
speech was cabled in cipher and in
fragments to Paris, where it was put
together and forwarded to Hong Kong.
The message included several thou
sand words, and the cost for trans
mission was said to have been $4,000.
1t interested the government to know
what friends the Filipinos had at this
time who were in a position to send
the message.
Il was in Hong Kong at the time"
said Mr.. Barrett, land 1 remember the
incident distinctly. l was coming
down stairs in the hotel when L met
the president of the Hong Kong junta,
ard he had in his hand the long dis
pitch he had just received. 1t gave
a large part of Senator Hoar's speech
iT. full and a summary of the rest of
it. 1 asked the president what he was
going to do with it, and he told me
that he ment to send it to the officers
of the army in the Philippines. He
was urged not to do it, but he pro-
tested that it had been printed in the
United States and was public prop
erty-
-Four days after that speech had
been delivered it was in the hands of
those who saw an opportunity to make
political capital of it. The speech was
published and distributed among the
soldiers, and / believe it was the cul-
minating influence that brought about
the open insurrection. This speech,
you must remember, was delivered be-
fore there was an open insurrection"

GAVE HIM A TONIC.
The Over Jealous BeIlboy Gets n suit-
able Reward for His
Cheek

A well-known drug drummer, who is pay.
ing his regular holiday visit to New Orleans,
took the train last Monday evening for lit
tie side trip to Baton Rouge and In the hurry
of his departure left a handsome bone-han'
died umbrella hanging on a hook in ths
lobby of the hotel. 1t was tempting prize,
but probably every kleptomaniae who saw
it supposed the owner was seated near at
hand. At any rate, it remained undisturbed
and was still there yesterday when the drum
mer returned. "By the way he remarked,
after he exchanged greetings with the clerk,
1--WE managed somehow 10 lose my new
bone-handled umbrella. Have any of You
seen such thing lying around the Office ?"
A quick-witted bellboy heard the question
and, glancing around, saw the missing arti-
Gle hanging within foot of his head. Sup
posing it had been there for only few mo-
ments, he promptly grasped the ferrule. Us
this the one?" he inquired. "Yes!" ex-
claimed the traveller, delighted, "and must
say I'm surprised nobody has nipped it,"
cav, they couldn't do that" replied the
bellboy. Eve been holdin' on to it fer y
ever since y hung it up" The drug drum
mer stopped with his hand half way down
his pocket and whimsical smile overspread
his countenance "Well," he said, slowly,
81 was intending to give you half dollar,
but if you've been holding that umbrella
for three consecutive days you're more in
need of tonic. Here is capsule of quinine
and IRON" The gloom which settled down
upon the bell bench might have been hewn
with an ax.-N. o. Times-Democrat.

The boards are run between two slabs
that have been sharpened and driven
into the ground facing each other.
When the boards are in place, the slabs
are nailed together through the boards,

can be wrapped about the top and bot

At all sawmills such slabs from pine
