stored $500 pounds of dynamite, about
100 kegs of powder, eight cases of fuse
and LOCO decorating caps. When the

plague could be stopped and the pa
tients relieved was to kill them. Some
of the supposed witches were relatives
Of the defendants and had sat up with
sick members of their families.
Obeying the instructions of the witch
doctor, Solomon Hotema, pastor of the
church, as chief man in the community,
summoned Tobias Williams and Sam
Frye, young full bloods, to his assist

armed with Winchester rifles and shot
guns. and started OH their mission OF

OF Vina Coleman, the sister-in-law Of
Hotema, and she was called out and

SayageS Of FaStidiOuS Taste.

The savages of Guinea do not eat
missionaries because they have any re-
ligious hostility for the preachers of
the new faith; they only eat them
because. as non-consumers of rum and
tobacco, their flesh is far more
palatable than that of any other type
of white man. In the Judgment of Il
cannibal. the meat of missionary is
better eating than anything else eX-
capt the flesh of a young child,
another non-consumer of tobacco
and ardent spirits. These canni-
balls not seldom spare the lives of
American and European sailors, for
the simple reason their flesh is so i'm
pregnated with the flavor of alcohol
and tobacco as TO be as unpalatable as
crows, gulls. buzzards and other car
ri0n consuming birds.

SENTIMENT FROM BRYAN
Tammany Doesn't Have to Celebrate
without Him.

New York, July 4.-The observance of
Independence Day in this city was more
than usually quiet this year. There were
flag raising ceremonies at sunrise at the
Battery and at the blockhouse in Central
park, but they were attended by very few
people. Nearly every one who could do so,
left the city yesterday on account of the
intense heat and to-day the streets were
almost deserted.
Tammany hall held its regular Inde-
pendence Day celebration, at which the
Declaration of Independence was read and
speeches were made by Governor Jennings
of Florida and other leaders of the demo-
cratic party The following letter of re-
gret from w. J. Bryan, dated Washington,
was read:
l congratulate Tammany upon the fidelity
it has shown in celebrating each returning
anniversary of the signing of the declaration
of independence. I trust that at this time,
when the republican leaders are denying the
universal application OF the self-evident
truths set forth in that declaration, much
emphasis will be given to the assertion that
governments derive their just powers from
the consent of the governed
In response to your request for a sentiment
appropriate of the occasion, I beg to suggest
the following: Liberty is not safe without
a written constitution, and constitution. to
be OF value, must be strong enough to con-
troll every public servant and broad enough
to include within its protection every per
son who acknowledges allegiance to the flag

The order of the former commission was
desregarded by the ore roads, which with
drew their tariffs and refused to keep any
on file, claiming they had carried ore only
on private contracts, and had no regular
tariffs. Instead of commencing proceed
ings at once to make the roads comply
with the law, the new commission paid
no attention to the matter until it was
brought up by the roads themselves, ask
ing to have the case reopened. The COM
mission agreed to do so on condition that
the roads file their tariffs and acknowl-
edge the authority of the commission. The
roads insist that carrying ore is interstate
business, as its final destination is Cleve-
land. They protested against the condi-
ton, and the commission obligingly re-
moved it, agreeing to take up the case at
a formal hearing on July 9.
Tariffs Must Be Filed.
The commission had retained Senator
Clapp as special counsel in the ore rate
cases, but did not consult him until after
this amended order had been issued. At
the request of Commissioner Staples. At
torney General Douglas was called into
consultation. Messrs. CIapp and Douglas
agreed in advising the commission to get
prompt action from the courts on the le-
gal end of the question, the authority of
the commission over the ore rates. The
majority of the commission took this ad-
vice against their will, and ordered the
Duluth & Iron Range and the Duluth,
Messabe & Northern to file their ore tar
ifs with the commission before July 9,
or appear on that date to show cause.
The roads have refused to file their
tariffs and say they will fight the com
missions authority all the way down the
line. The railroad attorneys will appear
before the commission Tuesday morning at
10 o'clock, in answer to the order to show
cause. They will claim that ore rates
are a matter Of private contract and not
subject to state regulation; also that the
ore traffic is interstate commerce. It will
then be up to- the commission.

CHINESE ORATORY
Novel Feature of independence Day
in Philadelphia.
FINE ADDRESS OF WUTINGFANG
Chinese Minister Not in the Least
Deferred by Threats of Phys
icaI Violence.

Philadelphia, July 4.-Wu Ting Fang,
the Chinese minister, has arrived here
from Washington for the purpose of deliv-
ering the Fourth of July Grafton in the
public exercises at Independence hall, and
is a guestat the Hotel Walton under the
watchful eye of city detectives. In Wash
ington MIR. WI received an anonymous
letter from this city in which the writer,
in effect, said that Mr.. WI would have
to take the consequences if he came here.
Mr. Wu was adverse to detective protec-
tion saying that he had great confidence
in the American citizen and felt perfectly
safe without protection. He said he un
derStood that the Fourth of July was a
day of great rejoicing and patriotism and
he came here to enter into the spirit
of it.
Several thousand persons gathered in
independence square to-day to see and
hear WuTing Fang, orator of the day a:
the municipal celebration. The friendly
reception given the distinguished guest
must have allayed all fears for his safety.
When the Chinese diplomat stepped to
the front of the platform he was given a
rousing reception and it was some time
before quiet could be restored. His
speech was heard with marked attention
and every patriotic utterance was loudly
cheered.
Minister WI began with an expression
Of his qualification Of the honor shown
him and regret over the circumstances
which prevented his acceptance of SINH
lar invitation a year ago. Referring to
the day, he sketched the many important
events which had occurred upon its ami
versaries. He made humorous reference
to the fact that China furnished America
with firecrackers and then in a serious
vein traced a similarity between the edu-
cational system of China, which gave the
humblest citizen an opportunity to become
part of the government, and the electoral
system of the United States. He defined
the canons Of the CONTIGUOUS and Men
cius as the Magma Charta of China and
quoted the words of Mencius. The peo-
pie are the most important element in a
nation, the spirits Of the land and grain
are the next, the sovereign is the light
est" His closing tribute to the United
States was as follows:
This nation, it seems to me, has not sprung
into existence without a manifest destiny.
There must be some noble ends for which
the independence of the United States was
established. 1t was to demonstrate to the
world what great good to mankind a free
and Independent people can do; to establish
"a government of the people, by the people
and for the people; to preserve law and
order; to treat all people alike with fairness
and business; to do away with selfish and
clannish feeling; to make American patriot
ism synonymous with fair play: the love of
mankind, with freedom and liberty in ac-
suing these ends this republican will become
the greatest power upon earth, and you citi-
zens of this great country will be more than
ever respected and loved by ALL

fee from the palace to great temporary
tribune just outside the plaza palacio.
Standing on a projecting center of the
tribune, William H Taft, the new civil
governor of the Philippines, took the oath
OF Office administered by Chief Justice
Arellano. Governor Taft was then intro
duced by General Macarthur, the guns OF
Fort Santiago being fred by way of a
salute.
A feature of the inaugural address of
Governor Taft was the announcement that
on Sept. /, 1901, the commission would be
increased by the appointment Of three
native members, DR.. Wardo Detavera,
Denito Legarda and Jose Luzuriaga. Be-
fore the first of September departments
will exist as follows, heads having been
arranged for thus:
Interior, Worcester; commerce and po
lice, Wright; justice and finance, Ide;
public instruction, Moses.
Of the twenty-seven provinces organ
ized Governor Taft said the insurrection
still exists in five. This will cause the
continuance Of the military government
in these sections, but as yet they have not
been organized. Four provinces are not
ready for civil government.
What VIII BE Done
The speaker predicted that with the
concentration of troops into larger gar
risons it would be necessary for the peo-
pie to assist the police in the preservation
of order. Fleet launches will be procured,
he said which will facilitate communica-
tion among the provinces as we'll as aid
the postal and revenue departments. In
connection with educational efforts Civil
Governor Taft said that adults should be
educated by an observation OF American
methods He said that there was a rea
sonable hope that congress would provide
a tariff suitable one that would assist in
the development of the Philippines, in
stead of an application of the United
States tariff
According to the civil governor there is
an unexpended balance in the insular
treasury Of SO, 700 900, and an annual in
come of 10000, 000
He said that any possible friction be-
tween civil and military subordinates
should be discouraged The patriotism of
the leading Filipinos was commended.
Governor Taft reiterated hope ex
pressed by the president that in the fu-
ture the inhabitants would be grateful for
the American Philippine victories, and
that they would be indissolubly linked in
ties of affection with the common country.
President Mckinley Heard From
The reading of President McKinley's
message of congratulation was enthusias-
tically cheered. The entire front of the
Tribune, block long, was decorated with
flags and several hundred officers with
their families and friends were seated
therein. General Macarthur, Civil Cover
nor Taft and Military Governor Chaffee oc-
cupied the center with the other generals
on their right Rear Admiral Kempff and
his staff were on the left The United
States commissioners and justices Of the
supreme court were Immediately in the
rear Of the foreign consuls. The mass Of
the people stood in the park opposite. The
most important Filipinos were present
but there were more Americans than Fiji

FILIPINO BARBARITY
Plan Of Deception and Cruelty
Marked by Murder.

Marked by Murder.
Washington, July A remarkable
story Of Filipino cruelty comes to the war
department in the shape Of a general or
der containing the records of the trial Of
seven natives, charged with abduction
assault with intent to KILL murder and
guerilla warfare, in violation OF the rules
of war, before military commission con-
vened at Nueva Caceres.
One of these men, zamadio, by name,
while residing in the barrio of Cabusao,
conceived plan of deception and cruelty
which is worthy of note. With the
other six men Zamadio formed a band, of
which he was made chief. Notice was
served on the people of the barrio that
they must assemble at a given place in
order to be presented to General Santos,
who would punish them if they failed to
appear.
Men, women and children obeyed the
mandate. Zamadio received them and re-
quired them to take an oath to resist
American authority to the death The
people were to form in ranks and started
out to be presented to General Santos,
who had not yet made his appearance. Nor
did he, for it developed that Santos was a
myth, and that the name had been used
as deception by which to commit whole
sale murder.
The victims of the band were selected
from the friends and relatives Of native
pilot aboard steamboat plying between
Manila and Nueva Caceres Upon the
slender pretext that the pilot must be an
sAmericanista, or a friend of the Amer
leans, eleven persons, among them an
aged woman and four young children. were
taken into the fields, assaulted with clubs
and bolos and left for dead
Three Of the victims revived, and two
Of them reached safety, but the other. a.
girl, was betrayed in a house where she
sought succor, and was recaptured by
three Of the band. Her almost Hfeless
body was taken back 70 the fields on
cara5o cart, since when she has not been
seen. Sentences OF death and imprison-
ment at hard labor were imposed.

SERVES LIBERALS RIGHT BLAZE In BALTIMONE
STEAD ON THE PARTY DISRUPTION
Declares the Organization Shares
"ChamberIain's Blood GuiItf-
ness" Causing the War.

s9&W BOFM 0GW 0DGGA1s S9FwsSVs
London, July 4-"The disruption of the
liberal party serves it right 1t shares
Chamberlain's blood guiltiness, because
its leaders screened him at the time of the
Jameson raid, thereby rendering the pres
ent war inevitable said w. t. Stead,
who has just returned from The Hague,
where he has been assisting at the estab-
lishment of the Dutch group Of the inter
national peace union. He continued:
The liberal leaders, Sir William Vernon
Harcourt, Rt. Hon. Sir Henry Campbell
Bannerman and ]. E, Ellis, as members OF
the royal commission of inquiry into the
Jameson raid, failed to press for evidence Of
Mr. Chamberlains completely, and thereby
forced President Kruger to declare war. The
liberals occupy the absurd and illogical posi-
ton Of admitting that the war is unneces-
sary and unjust, and yet insisting that the
country must see it through. Such party
can never hope for better conditions. It's
sole chance for salvation is entire reconstruc-
ton all round. The only party that has
shown consistency in opposing the war is the
Irish nationalsts.
Mr., Stead says that Mr. Kruger will
not visit the United States, because he
recalls the fact that while the visit of the
Boer delegation drew enormous crowds
and evoked the widest enthusiasm, it
produced no tangible results. Regarding
the possible interposition Of the powers,
Mr.. Stead said:
The new Dutch ministry that assumes Of
fee this week may make some declaration.
The most interesting point at the present
moment, however, is the attitude Of the
United States in view of President McKin-
ley's affirmation that General Weyler's
concentrate policy was an outrage on hui
manity, justifying the interposition of any
power The concentration of the Boer women
and children in camps in the Transvaal is
similar to Weyler's action in Cuba, but with
less excuse. Now, what line will the United
States take?
