PRIVATE HoBsoN RETURNS.
A Soldier Supposed to Have Been
Killed in the Philippines.

PHILADELPHIA, March 17.-After
having been reported among the soldiers
killed in the Philippines and mourned as
dead by his relatives and friends. Pri-
vate William Fl. Hobson. jr., walked into
his old home, 200 East Allegheny Avenue,
on Friday. He was admitted to the house
by his mother. who almost collapsed from
joy. News of the boys return soon
spread, and he was the recipient of an
ovation rarely accorded anyone in Port
Richmond The young mans story was
that he had for months lowered between
life and death in one of the hospitals and
had been reported dead by his COM
mand+r.
Young Hobson enlisted on October 10.
1890, in Company II. Fortleth Infantry.
and almost at once was sent to the Phil
ippines. He wrote home regularly for
some time. but finally his letters ceased
and then came the unofficial report that
he had been killed in battle His father
several times wrote to the Secretary of
War for information regarding the boy.
but nothing was heard from him until
he walked into the house on Friday. He
brought with him many Filipino curios
and an honorable discharge from the
army which gives him credit for having
seen hard service In a score of hard
fought battles.

THE DUTY ON FALSE TEETH.
No Appeal to BE Taken From New
York Courts Decision.

TIE Treasury Department has directed
that no appeal be taken from a recent de-
cision Of the United States Circuit Court
in New York declaring that imported
false teeth are dutiable at the rate of
only 50 per cent. and not at 80 per cent
as the Government has heretofore main
tanned. The case could be carried to the
Supreme Court, but Secretary Gage decid-
ed that the amount of revenue involved
does not justify the department in taking
any further steps. The Government held
that false teeth We're dutiable as manu-
features of spar. and the assessment
under the tariff law was therefore 50 per
cent. The importers asserted. and Were
sustained by the courts. that the teeth
We're wares composed wholly or in chief
of earthly mineral substances, and not
decorated in any manner" The tariff law
moves 30 per cent as the duty on this
class of articles.

ropean power should be induced TO In
terfere, which is not at all probable. In
that case, the United states might feel
called upon to take a firm stand and
insist upon its rights under the existing
treaties, If not under the Monroe doc
trine But such contingency ~ too
problematlcal to need any mention this
time.
II Ia not quite clear what the real
trouble is. As near as can be gath
cred from the dispatches, some Colon
bian schemers are charged with having
aided the replutionlsts in Venezuela,
and Venezuela politicians are also said
to have stirred up a rebellion In Col
ombla. The Colomblans, to punish her
nelghbor republic for whatever part its
citizens may have played in the Col
ombian disturbances sent an invading
force across the border but this Yes
defeated Should Ecuador and Nicara-
qua take sides in the dispute, general
trouble would arise, calling for the
presence Of a respectable naval force
from this country. but In all probability

have done, without serious conse.
quences.

sumner? Under ordinary circumstances
II might be safe to assume that the
interest Of the consumer would not be

THE IsTHMIAN TROUBLE.

European countries are taking much
interest in the trouble between Vene-
zuela and Colombia. In France IL is
predicted that It viii end by the United
States taking a hand and annexing
some territory on the lsthmus. And
British newspapers think that "Ameri-
can Interference will have grave re-
suits" What these grave results
viii be is alluded TO by the Saturday
Review. which predicts, that the time
win come when the outrageous Monroe
doctrine viii produce a deadlock be-
tween the European and American gov
ernments"
There Is no ground for such alarmlst
comments. Monroe doctrine OF no Mon.
roe doctrine. the United states Is bound
by treaty obligations to protect the
road across the isthmus and the SOW
ereignty Of Colombia. and besides there
are American interests at the principal
ports there, which cannot be ignored
The Boston Herald quotes from the
treaty made by the secretary OF state
during President PolEs administration
With what was then the state OF New
Granada. one article OF the agree
mcnt reads In part;
THE United States guarantees posi-

Under this treaty It IS incumbent
upon the United States TO see that the
traffic across the isthmus Is not inter

FRANCE AND TURKEY.

A dispatch from Constantlnope an
nounces that the French ambassador
has notified the Turkish government
that all diplomatic relations between
France and Turkey are discontinued be-
cause the sultan has violated his prom
ises regarding French claims.
The Sultan, then, was right when he
at first refused to pay the American
claims, on the ground that If he did so
the other powers would insist on pay
ment. too. Now the American indem-
nifty is paid, and France urges a settle
ment, and breaks on diplomatic rela-
tions because II Is not forthcoming.
The sultan will now either have to pay
France and prepare TO meet, as best II
can, the demands OF Germany and
Great Britain and other powers or he
viii have to risk the consequences Of
enmity with France.
Il Is not improbable that the atten-
ton Of the world win In the near future
be again focused on Turkey and the
Balkan states. The questions there
involved have never found anything
but temporary settlement and some
time they must be adjusted. In this
connection II is significant that Russia
Is suspected OF having obtained control
Of two Bulgarian ports on the Black
sea. In consideration Of loan Of
S.0OOoOO francs to the Bulgarian govern
ment The transaction Is said TO have
caused much Indignation In Bulgaria.
though the proofs Of 1t are rather cir
cumstantial than direct II II has
taken place, It Is safe to say that
Russian diplomacy foreseeing trouble
in that quarter Of Europe thought Il
best TO place the country within easy
reach Of the scene Of possible disturb
ance. The interruption Of diplomatic re-
lations between Turkey and France may,
or may not, have serious consequences.
Time alone can tell. But It certainly
Is little cloud on the political horizon.
which may be the bearer OF a storm.
Il Is well worth watching.
