Chicago. So far from helping the Chicago
board in its fight by discommoding local
operators and working up sentiment here
favoring an urgent settlement, it had
quite the opposite effect. Minneapolis ac

soon became used to the change, drifting
finally into indifference. Meanwhile there
has been a gain in business here and a
proportionate loss in the Chicago market.
Now comes Chicago with the calm an

the old arrangement, which is all very

STATE SUPREMACY IN FRANCE

The passage Of the associations bill by
the French chamber of deputies by a ma
jority of SO votes indicates the extraor-
binary strength of tha Waldeck- Rousseau
ministry, of whom it was predicted that
1t would go to pieces after the termina-
tion OF the trial of Captain Dreyfus
Instead of going to pieces this ministry
has apparently grown stronger day by
day. Few cabinets have encountered such
severe assaults as this from the opposi-
tion and notably from the so-called ma
tionaltst group composed of monarchists.
clerieals and reactionaries generally.
The associations bill is aimed chiefly at
the religious orders, notably the Jesuits,
who have shown themselves a little more
active in politics than they are in religion
and have notoriously sided with the mon
archists and imperialists as against the
third republic The clerical press
was solidly against giving Drey-
fus the meagerest show Of Justice.
The religious orders have abused the
privileges under the concordat agreed
upon by the first Napoleon and the pope.
by which the Latin church is recognized
as the official religion and receives a con-
siderable subsidy every year from the
government and gets some special legal
rights. The bill passed by the chamber
subjects the religious orders to the con-
troll Of the government and government
sanction has to be given to their exis-
tence, else they cannot hold property or
hold meetings. If existing orders do not
get the sanction Of the government within
a year they forfeit the realty they pos
sess within another twelve months.
Naturally the orders have been trying
hard to bring about the defeat of the
Waldeck- Rousseau ministry, but they
have not succeeded. The fate of the bill
in the senate cannot be certainly pre-
dicted, but about three-fourths of the
senators are republicans, who will not be
much disposed to antagonize such a pro-
nouneed republican and government meas
ure as the associations bill
The supremacy of the state as against
ecclesiastical and clerical supremacy is
the point at issue, and the republican
policy is likely to prevail. Even in old
Spain there is a strong movement against

AGUINALD0

The government yesterday received in
formation from General Macarthur that
Aguinaldo had taken the oath of allegiance
to the United States under the terms of
amnesty offered by the government. These
terms, however. cannot be offered to one
who has violated the laws of war and it
would seem that Aguinaldo has been out
rageously guilty of such violation during
his career as dictator
4 self-proclaimed dictator, with a force
at his command and claiming to have prac-
tically limitless power over the Filipinos,
Aguinaldo is largely responsible for all
the acts of barbarism and gross violations
OF the rules of civilized warfare, from the
time he declared war against the United
States in February, 1899, until he was
captured by General Funston. 1t is undis-
puted that he had arranged for the mas
sacre of all the Americans in Manila and
would have carried out his purpose had the
scheme not been discovered and this was
but the commencement of a series of acts
which very decidedly transgressed the
rules of civilized warfare He is .responsf-
BILE for the order which declared all dis
affected Filipinos and all who accepted the
terms of our government as traitors Sub
ject to the death penalty. Hundreds of
Filipino families in Luzon have had their
houses burned over their heads and their
families massacred
1t may be helpful to the process of paci-
fication in Luzon to deal rather gently
with this rebel chief, but he should not be
exempted from regular trial as pris-
oner of war. His influence over the ma
tiVes, who earlier in the conflict believed
his assertion that he was impervious to
the bullets OF Americans and had super
natural power has undoubtedly waned. In
deed, he was told yesterday by the Fill
pfno president of the Woman's Peace
League that 80 per cent of the native pop
ulation are in favor of peace and there
Is reason to believe that the statement
closely approximates the truth.
Our government will not bargain with
the rebel leader and promise Filipino in
dependence as reward for Don EmiIio's
services as intermediary between the re-
naming insurgents and the federal au-
thorities. The natives are rapidly dis
covering that the real friends of the Fill
pinos are not the Americans who want
Aguinaldo to triumph and rule them as
dictator under regime more tyrannical
than that of Spain, but are the United
States government and the vast majority
OF Americans who support the administra-
tton and congress which authorizes the
acts Of the administration
What spectacle for gods and men is
the lower house of the. Texas legislature
which yesterday ruled out of order a res
olutfon commencing Funston for the cap

demning Funston for capturing AguinaIdo

Wall Street and Three-Cent Fares.
Wall street does not look with much favor
on the proposition Of Albert L. johnson to
bring about Scent fares throughout all the
Greater New York territory. In fact, the
street absolutely refuses to accept Mr.. John
son at his word. The financial district is es-
sentially jealous Of it's earnings, and scent
fares are more acceptable to bondholders and
stock spectators than 3-cent fares even
though Mr.. Johnson says the trolley lines
Of Greater New York would pay handsome
dividends at the lower figure. In the money
district, Mr.. Johnson's Brooklyn tunnel
scheme is regarded as an attack on the
Brooklyn Rapid Transit system, and already
the market has been affected by the agitation
At the present time dealing in traction stocks
is almost at a standstill. Three-cent fares
have often been discussed by labor orsaniza-
tions, but Wall street refused to take notice
Of the agitation until Mr.. Johnson came
forward as its champion. The traction people
advance the argument that the companies are
unable to handle the traffic at scent fare.

to cope with the increased traffic of a 2-cept

The death of Rev. j. ]. Faude rector
Of Gethsemane church, removes a strong
and conspicuous figure in the active forces
that make for righteousness in this COM
munity. His personal work in his parish
has yielded large and encouraging re-
suits and, doubtless, no pastor ever had
a more devoted and strongly cooperating
people. His personal influence and ex-
ample, his unselfish life as spiritual
guide and counselor. His tireless stten-
tion to the sick and distressed, his strong
ly sympathetic nature, his fine culture and
sunny optimism endeared him to all who
best knew him, while he was power in
the church at whose altars he served, in
its general conventions, missionary coun-
ellis, etc. His influence was of the per-
vasive kind. which leaves effects behind
which cannot be effaced.

it is usually known as the Society of Sparrow
Hawks. 1t is for the suppression of walking
nuisances wherever met. 1t demands that
every member make it a duty to annoy per-

show that the society has just cause for
its existence few of these are given. They
comprise:
The person who requests the restaurant or
chestra TO play the intermezzo from 'Caval-
leria Rusticana" or the miserere from I'll
Trovatore.
The person who ehews tobacco in a street
car.
The person who whistles when an orchestra
is playing.
The person who greets an acquaintance on
the street with sudden, severe and jolting
prod in the back
The person who carries cane or umbrella
point upwards in the street
The person who uses toothpck on the
street
The person who takes liberties with the
name OF another person and builds feeble
Jests upon it.
The person who talks golf without cessa-
ton
The person who steps from a moving car
with his face in the wrong direction and who
abuses the conductor after he picks him
self up.
The person who carries the text OF a
Shaksperean play to performance and fol-
lows the lines, reading aloud.
The society is also out for the 'selr salts
fed clam" whose strut and supercilious
mug" indicate self complacency. Each
member of the society is pledged to grin at
him and call attention to his inanity until
he becomes self-conscious and tries to escape
In some cases athletic work will be re-
quired, as, for instance, in the case of the
rough, hurried man who breaks through a
crowd with his elbows or crushes into an
elevator, stepping on the people in his path
The society pledges it's members to follow this
scoundrel and step on his feet and rub their
shoes on his shines and then to demand Of
him an apology for being in the way. The
Shaksperean idiot who always has a quota

repeat several times, after which its au-

nuisance has become so chronic that it will
require great many operations for mental
appendicitis to put him hors de combat. but
it is worth the trial. Perhaps we are all too
polite. The nuisance thrives on other peoples $

The country will watch the progress of the
Chicago society with anxious solicitude.
