Perquisites of Westminster.

1.-The dean and chapter of Westmin-
ster," says TRUTH" of London, "are en-
titled to claim as 'perquisites' every arti-
Gle which is taken into the abbey for the
purposes Of the coronation, and that rev.
erend body reaped rich harvests in 1921,
1881 and 1888. When the queen was
crowned there was a hand-to- hand fight
after her majesty had retired from the
scene, between Lord Conyngham and one
of the dignitaries for magnificent silver
inkstand which had been in use, and the
Lord Chamberlain, who was victorious
in the struggle. hurried out of the abbey
with the inkstand in his arms and rushed
off in his carriage, accompanied by my
perQuisite.' 1t is probable that on the
present occasion there will be departure
from the old precedent under which the
dean and chapter deriver so much benefit,
and that is a matter which will have to
be considered by the council committee
when the estimates from the various de-
partments come to be overhauled.'

THE MAN ENGLAND FEARS MOST

Plerpont Morgan, the American magnate
whose Wizard-like power over the money
market of the world lays that of the
ROthschilds and all continental finan-
clers IN the shade. His great billion
doilar steel combine has struck England
harder blow than either of the other
two. for he strikes at their greatest in
dustries at the very heart Of their ma
tlonal prosperity, while the others only
took some of the profits that could be
spared in the shape of war.
The American shipping combine is the
latest scare in England. Justly SO, ap-
parently. for Morgan has the money to
buy out or freeze out the companies do
ing business with America. Several Of
the strongest transatlantic companies
have already passed under his control,
or are promised when he wants them.
1t may be that the hope of American
subsidies is a factor in inducing this
movement. But primarily it is the great
national prosperity, the vast sums Of
money seeking investment. Money flows
like water at Morgan's call, for the
financial world has implicit faith in his
sound judgment. There is not a king
in Europe who yields such a power as
he, though he bears no title save that Of
an American citizen.

CAPTAIN DREYFUS' BOOK,

The German publisher Of Captain Drey-
fus' book has just obtained a frst-cass
advertisement from the anti-Dreyfus
camp He sent out a circular in German
to all French publishers in which he sug-
gested that the .'affaire" is not vet at an
end and that the appearance of the book
would be an important political event All
the antl-Dreyfus press fell into the trap
set up unanimous howl of indignatio
and the astute publishers aim was
achieved without expanding cent. He
has obtained column articles in a dozen
widely circulated newspapers, and the
public, which showed complete indiffer-
ence to the forthcoming work is now be-
ginning to be interested.
1t is said Captain Dreyfus' book will be
a deception of those who expect sensa-
tons. 1t is written in characteristic
style. cold, matter of fact and undramatic
no attempt being made to play upon the
readers feelings. Just those parts where
one would expect to find the most intense
passion are passed over in a few brief
sentences. When the publisher asked
Captain Dreyfus why he had not written
more about the degradation scene he
said: What is the good? Everybody
knows? what formalities take place.
Ones stripes are taken off. his
sword is broken and so on. There is
nothing more to say about it,"

President Loubet Breaks
The Theater Precedent.

President Loubet is causing some head
thakngs to NJ. Crozier, the ntroducteur
des ambassadors and chef de protocol.
Up to the present no president of the re-
public has ever attended any but the
state subventioned theatres. NJ Loubet,
however. sees no reason why the Chief
of State should be the only man in
France who does not see the latest Par
isian stage successes. He therefore an
nounced the other evening that he was
going to see NJ. Capus' play, La Veine,"
at the Varieties and went there like any
other citizen. He greatly enjoyed him
self and afterward sent for the author
and congratulated him on the success of
his piece. Now that the president has
broken with the cast iron rules of the
protocol, all the theatres of Paris may
hope for visit.

LEADERS WILL HANG
American Omcers Uneartb Secret
Murder Society in LuzOn.
Graves Were Dug Before the Vie

ing Cruelty Practiced upon
Helpless Men and Women.

Washington, June 18.-A Philippine
mail brings to the war department
the records in IL cases wherein Fill
pinos were tried by military commits
sioners on charges including murder,
rape, kidnapping, assault and battery,
burglary and violation of the rules
of war. An especially notable case
arose out of the operations of IA
nous Oath-bOund band of FiHpinOs
called the society of the "Sanda-
tbans." The principal officers Of this
society. next to a triumvirate of
chiefs, are a chief executiOner and as
sistants and a requisite number of
grave diggers who participate in the
self-appOinted work of the band. The
leaders select their victim, capture
and carry him away in the night to
a secret rendezvous on sandy beach
covered with very tail grass, where
the diggers already have prepared the
grave Here, in the presence of the
assembled band, helpless men and
women from time to time have been
stabbed to death and tossed into the
graves. The members of the band
then disperse, and trust to the rise
and fall of the nearby waters to hide
the evidence of their CHASTITY work.
Ten members of the band, including
two of the chiefs, were tried before
a military committee and eight of
them were sentenced to be hanged.
