WHEN

The Chicago Tribune is authority
for the statement that General
Chaiee has written a letter to a Ger.
tam United States army officer. The
Tribune describes General Chaffee's
letter thus:

Withdrawn. l wish I could answer
you with a degree Of detiuiteuess

the character Of the territory To be
neld. as well as to the fact that at
least half Of the population is semi
Wild and has no conception of u gov
ernment Of any description, you will
understand what we are up against '
General Chatfee is represented as
saying that white some o! the officials
profess to have great faith in the
present civil government, and nj
though Governor Taft is u nan OF re-
markable ability, he is airuid he is
almost losing courage. He goes so
lar H. to say:
Governor Taft may resign his
position at almost an, time. He has
not said So in Us many words, but the
climate Is not to his liking, and | am
sure he is disbeartened with the way
things are going ON his lines
These statements are not in har.
mony with those made by politicians
who have recently returned from the
Philippines. 1t is fair To infer tina,
General Chaif 'e knows what he Is
talking about and that he gives ii
more accurate review of the situa.
uon than the politici ms do. The re-.
cent disasters which our troops have
met with in the Philippines tend To
confirm General Chaffee's statements
Il, indeed, they need confirmation.
Tie American people may here
obtain n hint ~ the condition with
which they are confronted. Instead
" peace having been established, in.

ing been completely subdued and
conquered, General Chatfee tells u:
that for at least five years the army

President Roosevelt is receiving
some very candle advice these days.
Immediately after they got the election
of their hands, Senator Hanna, Gen.
Grosvenor, Hon. s, e. Payne, Gov.
Stone, OF Pennsylvania, and many
others went to Washington to lay down
the law in regard to reciprocity and
tariff legislation. All of these gentle
men are frank to say that they are alb.
solutely opposed to oil tariff revision.
They believe, or claim to believe, that
the few republican gains in the cleo
ton just past indicate that the people
are entirely satisfied with things as
they are, and that they desire the re-
publican party to make no changes.
Even Gen. Grosvenor makes this spec
ious argument, completely ignoring
the fact that the Ohio platform posi-
lively promised legislation which would
relieve the people Of the present OPP
preston of the trusts, and that the en-
tire campaign that led to the election
of Gov. Nash was based on promises
OF similar legislation.

Murder and Suicide.

Frank Kidwell killed Miss Ada
Thompson at Turkeytown last Mon
day and then ended his own miserable
life. This news startled johnson City
Monday shortly after the tragedy CO.
Cured. One reads of such things but
never expects them to happen in his
section, but there is no accounting for
the acts of a crazy lover. Kidwell was
in love with this girl and she did not
return the sentiment. He Joined the
army and went to the Philippines and
returned as much in love as ever. The
parents of the young girl were very
much opposed to his attentions, and on
Monday sent the girl to a nearby
school house to keep her from seeing
him. He went to the school house and
told her that her mother had sent for
her to come home to see her brother,
who had just returned. Shortly after
leaving the school house the TRACED oc.
cured. -Four shots were fired at the
girl, all taking effect, and two bullets
were fired into his own body. Both
died Immediately.
Miss Thompson was the 1S-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Samue
Thompson, a well-known and highly
respected family.
Kjdwell was the son of the late r
idwell, of Piney Flats. His mother
is also dead and he has been a wan
derer in sense. He spent consider
able time in johnson City, making
headquarters at Hotel Greenwood.

An Episcopal Translation.

New York Commercial Advertiser
OF all the good stories ever told about
the late Dr.. Stubs, bishop of Oxford,
probably the following, which really
is authentic, is the best:
Prior to 1888 he was bishop of Ches-
ter, and when the see of Oxford be-
came vacant it was offered to him,
the fast of the offer being made public
some days before he signified his in
tention of accepting translation. A
local reporter was sent up to see Dee
side to make inquiries as to the
bishops decision. His lordship is
engaged, was the footman's reply to
a request for the bishop.
'Might 1 see Mrs. Stubbsf'
Mrs. Stubs is engaged.
~"I should like to see some member
of the family
And, finally, the reporter was usher
ed into the presence of Miss. .Stubbs,
and delivered himself of his inquiry.
"Well, you see, it's this way, said
the bishops daughter, pas upstairs
praying for guidance, but mamma has
begun to pack-so l suppose we are
going"
