PLANT OF A SOCIALIST
HE SAYS HE WAS CRUELTY TREATED
IN VENEZUELA.
Thrown Into Prison and Beaten By
His Guards-Other Cruelties Al
Iesed-Redress Is

NEW YORK, Sept. 6.-Hippolyto Lam
bert, a naturalized American citizen. who
says he has been for several years travel
ing through Central and South American
countries organizing Socialist clubs among
workingmen, returned t. the United States
to-day on the Clyde line steamship New
York. Lambert told a story Of alleged cruel
treatment by Venezuelans and says his
case will be brought TO the attention OF the
State Department at Washington. Accord-
ing TO Lambert ne arrived at Caracas on
May 20 last and registered at the United
States consulate. On July Is he obtained
employment in a private family at Caracas
as a cook. On the day following he was ar
rested by the project and a squad of police.
He protested that he was guilty OF no
wrong. but he was locked UP and HIS effects
were seized. Among them. he says, were
the notes he had made for years concerning
socialism and the condit,o on OF workingmen
in the different ~countrias he hfd visited.
The police also found a: copy Of a French
newspaper, La Libre Parole. which is an
organ Of the Socialists, and two. photo
graphs. One OF these was OF the Hotel la
Richie Lambert, which Lambert said he had
once owned in Guatemala, and the other
was a portrait Of Zolonger, the man who
killed President Barrics. Other papers
showed that he had been mixed up in the
revolutions In salvador and Guatemala. but
he said that that was as far back as fS77,
and before he was an American citizen.
Continuing, Lambert said that the ciscov-
cry Of these papers mace the Nenezuelans
very bitter against him, and he was thrown
into a dungeon. Lambert said that the
treatment he received IN prison was sx-
tremely cruel. He charges that his captors
beat him and that he was strung up by tho
thumbs until he was exhausted. On an
other occasion. he asserts, he was doubled
up like a jackknife by his guard. a wooden
slave was nlarel UTfOn shfg knaea onI hi
arms bound 10 the projecting ends. He
was kept in this position. with ten rifles
lying across his back, until he became un-
conscious. He was afterwards taken sick
with fever, and on July y was released and
placed on board a steamer for Santo Do
to-day.

THE PROMOTERS OF ASSASSINATION.

The loved and now reVered President,
William Mckinley, is the victim of a man
who says he is an Anarchist and then
denies it. But, whether an Anarchist or
not, he is a man with an unbalanced in
tellect which has led him to commit this
shocking crime. 1t is a fitting question
TO ask. What influences prepare these
men OF rickety intellects for such deeds?
During the past few years the country
has been cursed with publications designed
to array the mass of people against a class
Of men who have wealth and influence.
The preaching of classism is a curse; in
fact, it is treason against the unity of the
Nation. President Mckinley has been saw
agely assailed as the tool OF wealthy COM
binations which are denounced as the foes
of the country and the enslavers OF the
people. For example, a few days ago, a
volume OF the cartoons published by the
New York Journal and the Chicago Amer
lean during the last campaign came 10
this office. In the most repulsive and hide
Gus pictures, with vicious explanation, Mr..
Mckinley is represented as the willing
tool of the oppressors OF the people, grin
ming in imbecile delight whenever the
greatest wrong appears being done to the
people. Tens of thousands of people read
no other papers than those containing the
vicious cartoons. The weak-minded and
ignorant believe that they truly represent
the President, and in their hearts they
hate him. The crank. the wretch with a
lop-sided intellect studies these pictures
and reads the vituperative assaults upon
the President. He assumes that they are
true. and he naturally concludes that it IS
his mission 10 rid the world Of such a
monster.
We are a lenient people. With a false
idea of the right of free speech. men are
permitted to assail the President and ex-
press the wish that he may be disposed of.
y few OF those calling themselves Anti-im-
perialists have assailed the President as a
cruel monster and held him responsible

the murder OF Filipinos. a man has been

NEW OIL
California Petroleum Producer VIII
Organize for Protection.

SAN FRANCISCO. Sept. 6.-The Call
says: Success is about to crown the eff
forts of the oil producers of California to
form a great corporation with a capital Of
$4,000, 600 to 500, 900, 900 for the purpose Of

Eighty per cent. Of the oil producers OF the
Kern river and McKittrick districts have,
according to w. s. Porter. already signed
the preliminary agreement. Not one pro-
ducing oil company in the Kern river and
McKittrick districts has failed TO make
available the information needed as the
starting point for organization. There Is
only one factor that can interfere with
success as the matter now stands. which
is the refusal OF companies 10 accent the

Mr.. HOAR in Line AGAIN
NOW HEARTILY SUPPORTING THE
PRESIDENTS PHILIPPINE POLICY.
Venerable Senator Says MckinIey's
Plan is Wise, and that Ii VIII Lead
to independence for FilipinOs.

SALISBURY BEACH, Mass, Sept. e.-At
a banquet here yesterday complimentary to
George Won L. Meyer, ambassador TO italy,
the principal speaker was Senator George
L. Hoar, who voiced utterancAs of national
Importance. He practically Endorsed the
Mckinley Philippine policy and predicted
the future independence of the islands.
"As you we'll know" he said, Il disap-
proved of our policy in compelling the sub
mission of the people of tie Philippine
islands. I have not in the least changed
that opinion. But 1 know very well that
many persons who differed with me as 10
this question were honest, and patriotic.
and wise to a degree to which l have no
right to lay claim.
Il do not forget, also, that the adoption
of the Spanish treaty. which made it the
constitutional duty OF President Mckinley
TO do everything he has done since, includ-
ing the forcible reduction of the Philippine
people to submission, was brought about by
the direct and urgent and personal influ-
ence Of his Democratic competitor, and
that the Democratic party took him as
their standard bearer, well knowing what
he had done, and that he had avowed and
accepted the responsibility. SO we must,
whatever we may think of the Philippine
question, as brave and patriotic men, look
to the future rather than waste our time
in idle regrets for the past.
II understand that it is the policy of the
President of the United States, to the eX-
tent of his power, to encourage the people
in civilization, in education, in all the arts
of peace, that he shall instruct and discip-
line them In the arts of war, shall admit
them to local self-gOvernment as rapidly
as possible, and shall commit TO their
hands all the necessary forces, civil and
military, to accomplish that end as soon
as possibly may be done.
Now, for myself, L believe that the ques-
ton of independence heretofore, now and
hereafter should be a question solely for
the determination of that people. They have
the right to settle for themselves whether
they will govern themselves or be gov
erned by a power eight thousand miles
away. When they have shown, under the
Presidents policy, the capacity for self
goVernment-and he means to give them
the opportunity to show it-no power on
earth-not even ours-can hold them in
subsection against their will. American peo-
pie would not do it if they could. They
could not do ii If they would.
I'm this matter, as in others to which I
have alluded, the part of true statesman
ship is to proceed carefully, without haste
and without rashness, making the best Of
the future, and not pausing to lament over
the past"
