STILLMAN ROASTED
Hot Reply from the Assistant Postmas-
 ter General

Washington, February 10-James w. Stillman, of Boston, has applied to the postoffice department for ruling as to whether or not a pamphlet published by him under the title "A Protest Against the Presidents War of Criminal Aggression" is mailable under the postal laws.
 First Assistant Postmaster General Heath has written MT. Stillman, saying in effect that 1t is not the business of the de- partment to advise private individuals as to whether Unreasonable documents which they desire to circulate for the purpose of giving aid and comfort to those dn rebellion and to embarraSs or demoralize the opera tions of the army in the field are mailab.e or otherwise.
 "All I care to say" continues the reply. 'is that before attempting to mail any matter calculated to give aid to any person engaged in an insurrection against the au- thority of the United States you had better seek the advice of friend skilled in the low whose services you will probably re- quire in case the government considers your essays of sufficient importance to pay attention to them.

SAILORS SERIOUS Y ! ' CHARGE OF CRUELTY Discharged Soldiers Tortured on

STRUNG UP BY THEIR HANDS

New York, February Mysterious charges Of cruelty, which are alleged to have been committed aboard the United States army transport Mcclellan, which arrived here yesterday from san Juan, Porto Rico. and Santiago. Cuba, were brought to the notice of United States Commissioner Shields to- day by A. s. Barnwell, one of the crew of the vessel. As the transport is lying at a Brooklyn pier, Barnwell and his witnesses were directed to the federal authorities in Brooklyn. The mate and the boatswain' s mate of the Mcclellan are the persons ac- cused.
 Barnwell, whose home is in Ferdinand, Fla, told Commissioner Shields that on the first day out from San Juan a dis- charged soldier named Schwein, who was a stowaway on the steamship, was dis covered, and as it was believed there were other stowaways aboard he was asked where they were. The soldier declined to tell or even explain how he had managed to conceal himself on the boat, and Barn well alleged that Mate Moruhew caused the man to be shackled and strung up by block and tackle to the metal funnel guy.
 The mans hand was fastened above his head, and every time the transport rolled Schwen was carried off his heel. l
 The stowaway was strung up for over an hour, and then when he was let down he was set to work cleaning ship. At Santia- go Schwein was put ashore.
 Barnwell relates another incident which occurred on previous trip. There was on board then a discharged army teamster named Curtis, who had been supplied with the transportation and rations by the United States quartermaster Barnwell as- serts that the Mcclellan had hardly gotten to sea when Curtis, who was classed as a passenger was ordered to work. Refusing to comply, Mate Merithew, Barnweu all leges, had Curtis shackled and strung up to the gunnel guy. After he had been strung up for over an hour he was hand cuffffed and kept a prisoner until the trans port reached Santiago where he was forced ashore. iz z,- t Barnwell says he complained to those In charge of the United States army trans- port, but getting satisfaction he decided to resign and expose the cruelty in the fede eral courts. Barnwell was accompanied by another member of the McClellan's crew who corroborated the story. iS

 the Double Standard

Washington, February 10.-A resolution expressing sympathy with the Beers in their struggle against Great Britain and urging mediation on the partsof the United States between the belligerents was adopted by the senate today in a fit of tenn porary aberration of attention.

 A minute later, however, at the request of the chair (Mr. Frye), MT. Allen con- scented to a reconsideration of the vote by which the resolution was passed and the incident passed amid much quiet laugh ter.
 The financial debate was continued by MT. Chandler who opposed the gold stand ard and strongly urged the double stand ard Mir. Chiffon and MT. Money also spoke.
 At the opening of the senate today MT. Allen presented the following:
 'erhat the United States of America ex- tends it's sympathy to the people Of une South African republic in their heroic struggle for liberty and popular govefn- ment, and believes 1t to be the duty of the government of the United States of America to offer mediation to the end that further blcodshed may be averted and an honorable peace may be concluded between the Ibelligerent governments"
 No objection was made to the considera- tion of the resolution, only about dozen senators being present. Before anybody realized what was going on the resolution was put to a vote and declared adopted.
 Senators looked from one to another, and several, among them, Mir. Allen, laughed unrestrainedly.
 MT. Pettus, of Alabama, addressing the chair (Mr. Frye, demanded the yeas and nays.
 To this Mr. Allen objected, as the resolu- ton had been declared adopted
 Tine chair agreed to this point, but asked MT. Allen that he permit the vote ito be reconsidered and let the resolution go over.

B|G STRIKE NOW
 ON IN CHICAGO Seven Thousand WorNngmen Lay Down Their Tools and Refuse to Work. l :.

Chicago, February 10.-Seven thousand working men who have (been engaged on buildings in course of construction Eere marks the real beginning of war between labor and the contractors, which will sus- pend building operations in Chicago until present difficulties settled.
 The men are members of various unions affiliated with the Building Trades Coun- cil. Their rules, with the exception of the Bricl1layers' union, provide for a holiday every Saturday afternoon.
 The ultimatum of the contractirs recent ly delivered did not allow this and in con sequence when the men quit work at noon today according to custom the contractors declared that the act constituted a srike, and announced that as fast as possible non- union men would be secured to take the places of the strikers. Union leaders claim that they have not struck, but have been locked out. They also assert that the contractors cannot secure enough men to replace the union, they say, will meet with vigorous resistance
 Tickets have been stationed to meet in coming trains to warn new corners that in working under contractors who are parties to the lockout they are taking long chances"
 | The Building Trades council has a mem- | bership estimated at S5,009 men. The con- 1 tractors have taken stand against this | force, refusing. they say, to longer submit | to the arbitrary dictates of organized la- | Dor" in fixing working hours and the amount of work to be done in a day. Trouble is feared by the authorities. Po- | licemen from outlying stations have been | called to stations nearest headquarters ready for instant action.

CLARK MEN START A BANK
Ranchman Testified That Whiteside Swore He Would Get Even With
 Clark for Bucking His Eleo-
 ton to State Senate

Washington, February l0s-State Senator Tierney. of Montana. continued his testi- mony in the Clark case before the senate committee on elections today. He said he had never been asked to vote for MT. Clark for the United States senate, and had. therefofe, never been offered any consider alton for his vote for that gentleman.
 He gave details of the organization of the Townsend bank, in which he had stock, and explained where he obtained the money for it.
 Mr. Tierrey said that the $500 which he put into the organization of the bank at Townsend, had been. kept in the safe of Darsey & Co.,. where it had been put in preference to putting it in the bank of Hyatt and Delanty, the only bank then ex- isting at Townsend Of the $500 drawn out in this transaction not to exceed $2000 had been entered upon the books of the firm. He had taken it out because it was his. Very often, however, these deposits were put into the general cash fund of the firm.
 Witness Brought No Papers
 In response to a question from Senator Chandler, the witness said that notwith- standing he knew there were aspersons cast upon his character because of his vote for MT. Clark, he had brought no papers of any kind with him to show whence the s5 800 used in organizing the Townsend bank had come
 The questioning brought out the fact that both Eversoll and Representative Shovely, who together with MT Tierney, constituted the whole legislative delegation from Broad- ctr nlyh hnl Townsend bank. Of the entire $25,OOO, Cap tain Tierney testified that himself and relatives and business associates had con- tributed about $1S000 All the members or the legislature who were in the bank Tn the end voted for MT. Clark for senator.
 MT William Byrne, a ranchman, who said he had formerly worked in one of MT. Da- Tvs mines at Buute. testified to being sent by men connected with MT. Daly to Flat head county during the legislative election of 1898 to assist MT. Whiteside in his race for the state senate. Whiteside told him that Senator Clark had sent money into the county to be used against him, adding that he would get even with Clark if it ever came his way for bucking him in his cleo tion" NIT Whiteside had said he would 'job Clark to a fare-you-well."
 Asked whIteside in Helena
 Again in Helena, after the legislature met, he asked MT. Whiteside for some money. "Mr. Whiteside replied" said the witness, "that he had only $7, though few weeks before he had had $30,0O0 in his pockets but that it had not been his, he had turned 1t over to the state. He said he had been offered s10O000 to leave the town. I told him. continued the witnesss "that he was a fool fer not keeping the money, but he replied that he could make more out of the other side-out of Daly- by turning the money over."
 Adjourned until Monday.
