JEFFERSONVILLE, Ind, Dec. 25.-The
Journals correspondent called on Superin-
tendent Hert. at the Indiana Reformatory,
to-day and inquired as TO the sentence of
Newell c. Rathbun. Mr.. Hert said that
he knew very little about the case, and
did not wish to pronounce upon any mat

through unofficial reports. He understood
that Rathbun had been convicted of man
slaughter and sentenced for a period of
not hess than two nor more than twenty
one years.
Replying TO a question as TO whether he

LYMAN j. CAGES PLANS
SPECULATION AS TO WHAT HE WILL
DO IN THE FUTURE.
He May Devote Much of His Time to
Missionary Work in the Cause of
Banking Reforms.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Dec 25.-There is con-
siderable speculation among financial men
as to what Secretary Gage will really do
when he leaves the treasury. Those who
know his active mind and persistent energy
feel that he will not idle away his time in
some minor Chicago financial institution
as he now declares. In a recent speech he
said that the machinery OF commerce had
improved in all respects except banking
He contends that banking methods lag be-
hind the march of industrial progress, and
in his message he proposed number of
improvements, but he does not expect any
immediate legislation executive reform
along these lines. He is arousing popular
interest and hopes when it has been suffi-
GENTLY discussed in the newspapers and
by the people the way will be seen to
make important changes.
Secretary Gage is a little old-fashioned
in his ideas of reforms. He believes sec
rotary of the treasury should re-
sist changes in principles and meth
DDS until the soundest and most
conservative judgment compels acceptance.
He feels that reforms should originate with
the people and be carried by the force of
popular conviction and intelligent insis-
tence to the executive department and
their adoption forced by a recognition of
merit. He considers any administration
of the treasury which has for it's policy the
forcing of reforms upon the business world
as unwiSe and risky.
Some of his friends think that when Mr..
Gage retires he will give a good deal of
time and attention to missionary work i'm
the cause of improved banking methods
The secretary believes in what he terms
the federal banking system. He thinks the
units should be the smaller banks of the
county seats, which should have relations
with the larger banks of the State money
centers and that these In the end should
sustain a large central bank. In short, the
financial authority and strength should be-
gin at the bottom and work to the top Just
the same as in the republican system of
government.
Another distinguished student of bank
Stickney, of Chicago. the railroad presi-
dent. He opposes Mr.. Cages federal plan
with what might be termed a monarchicaI
one. In short, he believes in a central
bank, just as Mr.. Gage does, but he be-
lieves that it should dominate and control
the branch banks; that 1t should be a SUI
preme and dominating financial authority
in the Nations banking. He advocates. eX-
tended authority downward from an all
powerful center. instead of upward from
hundreds of units
Mr.. Gage admits that Mr.. Stickney's plan
is theoretically good. but he says that the
people will not stand for it. He, therefore
believes in going after what he can get.

RoSEBERY's AsTUTENEss.
Washington Star.

Lord Rosebery's speech is at once pleas
ing and unsatisfactory. 1t is the utter
ance of the statesman, not of the poliu-
cion. 1t is conservative, although adj
dressed Dy Liberal leader TO Liberal fol-
lowers. Ii betokens remarkable shifting
in British politics, TO result, perhaps, in
further changes when the war is over. IL
ROsebery's advice is accepted the Liberal
party may win at the next general cleo
lions, which. the speaker declared yes
terday should be held Immediately after
the definite conclusion Of the South African
strife. But will IL be accepted2 Will IL
persuade the curious association of polit-
under the Liberal standard 10 discard their
old Irish allies, and TO abandon policies
which have been fundaments Of Liberal
belief for many years?
The former premier specifically refrainS
from critisisng the fact of the war, al
though he censures some Of the moves
which the government has made. He ac-
quits the government OF cruel measures,
while accusing il of injudicious proclama-
tions. He directs his shafts particularly
against Mr. Chamberlain, who, he says,
has unnecessarily made enemies for Great
Britain among the powers.
The Rosebery programme may be thus
summed up: Vigorous prosecution OF the
war liberal terms 10 the conquered Beers,
radical reorganization Of the army and
navy administra ton. sharp prosecution or
the fight to regain British trade supremacy.
greater efficiency in Parliament and the
adoption of a tone OF greater AVAILABILITY to-
ward the other nations. 1t is the Conserv-
alive policy modified. 1t is neither jingo-
istic nor indecisive. IL is an admirable line
of action. But IL is not likely TO stimulate
the Liberal party TO extraordinary efforts.
Rosebery's offer of his services does not
mean much at this stage 1t serves In a
measure as a pleasant guarantee that IL
the Liberals work their way once more
into power he will not be averse to ac-
cepting the premiership. But leadership
demands something more than pledge to
take Office when the fight is won. VIII
Rosebery take off his coat and fight while
the party is In the minority Will he con-
tinue his illuminative discourses on the
public platform and in the House Of Lords
when Parliament reassembles2 He is sore
" needed at the head Of the line. The
party requires aggressive, constructive
leader more than ever IL IL Is 20 adopt his
policy of semi-conservatism and fight the
government in large part upon its own
ground. Such a campaign calls Tor re-
markable man. There is seemingly no one
in the ranks or among the putative lead
ers I'm the House of Commons capable OF
conducting IL.
This speech does infinite credit 10 Rose
bery's patriotism and sagacity. II remains
TO be seen whether IL will serve 70 lift his
party out OF the mire of dependency and
inefficiency into which IL has blundered In
the absence of a capable guide.

The Censure of Gen. Miles.
Washington Post.

The Post has had a great deal to say
about General Miles in the past-not al
ways perhaps TO his entire fancy, but
never. we are sure TO his disparagem as
a gentleman and a soldier. The general
runs somewhat fuently TO gorgeousness of
apparel. TO new dispositions of gold lace. 10
photographs, after-dinner eloquence, and
so on. In all these lights he is 10 us an
object of perfectly respectful amusement,
and has frequently suggested more or less
playful commentary. But never for a mo-
ment have we forgotten or sought to
ignore or screen the fact that Nelson a.
Miles was one Of the finest and most gall
lant fighters in the Union army of 1S61-1S65.
Ii is our deliberate opinion that the
American people will not take kindly to the
reprimand which has. by the order OF the
President. just been administered TO Gen.
Miles because he had seen fit TO indOrse
the verdict of the head of the United
States navy and so align himself with an
other fighting man on a purely fighting
issue. Ii may be that General Miles was
less than diplomatic in the manner and the
matter of his speech. These fine-spun de-
tails are beyond us. But the heard of the
army was indorsng the head of the navy
touching a strictly military proposition,
and we risk nothing when we say that the
American people will be glad TO ear from
him and swift 10 adopt his view.

PLANTERS NOT PLEASED.
Hawaiians Think President Roosevelt
Means Harm to Sugar Interests.

HONOLULU, Dec. IS, via Victoria, B.
c., Dec. 25.-President Roosevelt's message
is commented on here adverse to the
sugar interests of Hawaii. The declaration
against allowing more Chinese to come
here was disappointment TO the planters.
The prospect of reciprocity with Cuba, the
possibility of free admission of sugar from
that island and the Philippines as we'll as
Porto Rico are also disappointing to Ha-
wall. In spite of these influences. however,
the sugar stocks here remain firm.
Attorney General Dole will leave for
Washington in the near future to present
TO the United States Supreme Court the
appeal of'the territory in a case involving
the question of the legality of trials with
out grand jury indictments under the Ha-
waiian law allowing jury verdicts by nine
jurors after an examination.

cles for the safety of several overdue YES
sells from Pacific coast ports. Among them
is the ship S. ID. Carleton, forty-four days
out of Tacoma.

CINE Within the past six weeks the train
has caused the death Of three persons and

party of young people, killing one man
and injuring three girls. A day or so later
the train struck a buggy at Windfall,
