A TREAcHERoUs FILIPINO.
Native Sergeant of Police Must Hang for
Dragging American Omcer and
Having Him Murdered.

Washington, June 27.-The records
of several court-martials of Filipinos
have been received at the war depart
ment from Manila. A native sergeant
of police, Pablo Tabares ordered two
of his policemen to induce Private
George o. Hill, company Fl. Eighteenth
infantry, to enter the sergeant's house
in the pueblo of Cabatfan. Once in,
Tabares treated the American with
lavish hospitality and pressed glasses
of vino up him until the soldier was
badly intoxicated. The sergeant then
ordered the two policemen to take the
unfortunate man outside the pueblo
and kill him. The willy Tabares
promptly sent his two accompliees off
to the insurgent ranks to get them
out of American jurisdiction, together
with the dead mans uniform and ac-
coutrements, while he remained dis
creetly silent. He was found guilty OF
murder and also of arson, having
caused about 100 dwellings in Caba-
tuan to be burned. He was sentenced
to be hanged.
Harold NJ. Pitt, manager of Evans 6,
Co., government contractors, who has
been on trial at Manila on charges of
improperly purchasing government
stores, was acquitted. Four other pur-
chasers of commissary stores were
found guilty and fined 81 900 each.

Buffalo, N. Y, June 26.-The fol-

day afternoon:
81 am not only not a candidate for
any office, but 1 have no candidate in
my mind for any Office. My interest
ccnters in principles and men are i'm
portant only as they aid in carrying
out these principles. The democratic
party stands for definite, positive
principles, and unless I mistake the
sentiments of the masses, the voters
will insist upon adhering to these
principles in spite of the threats of
reorganizers. Those who argue from
the standpoint of expediency will not
have influence with the voters, be,
cause no one can say what is expedi-
ent. We may deserve to win and yet
lose, but it still remains that to de-
serve to win is the surest road to sue

FREIGHT RATES.
Merchants to Apply to the te-statO Com
merce Commission for Relief from
Increased shipping Charges.

Chicago, june 26-The Tribune
says: Prominent western merchants,
all heavy shippers of merchandise,
are preparing to call to account for
the interstate commerce commission
the heads of the various railroad COM
binations and the community of in
terests'' alliances of the trunk lines
of the country. Charges are made
that. following these movements of
consolidation, freight rates have
been advanced from 80 to so per cent.
through quiet and organized manipu-
lation of the various classiicationss of
commodities. Merchandise formerly
in class has been placed under class
2, with a consequent increase of 80
per cent. in shipment charges, and so
on through the voluminous tabulated
classiications of all commodities.
Behind the movement to attack this
scheme of freight advances by APP
plying to the interstate commerce
commission for relief lies the plan
for still more vigorous blow. The
compliments intend to press a de-
mand that congress shall take a
hand in forcing the formation of a
uniform classification of freight,
which shall be effective on every rail-
road in the United States.

WORDS CANNOT DESCRIBE.
Devastation Wrought by ElkhOrn Valley
Flood Is AwfuI-The Dead viii
Exceed 100.

Williamson. ". v, June 27.-There
is no longer any doubt but that the
list of dead, the result of the recent
flood, will exceed 100. Parties reached
here yesterday evening from the up
per end of the flooded district bring
ing the first authentic information re-
ceived from the scene of disaster.
The party just arrived consisted of
Judge E. S. Doolittle, Judge F1ourney,
of Charleston, and Elias Hatfield, dep
uty sheriff of Minge county. Judge
Doolittle said to the Associated press
correspondent last night that words
could not describe the scene of de-
VISITATION between Vivian and Davy.
1t was tidal wave from cIoudburst
and swept everything before it. In
the track of its course everything
is gone, Including coke ovens and pill
lars of stone. At Vivian the water
came roaring down the mountain
sides in monster waves and people
who attempted to flee to the hills for
safety were washed back and car
ried away by the current of the Elk
horn.
1t is difficult for the authorities to
handle the situation. Much theft is
reported in the devastated district.
Even clothing is being torn from dead
bodies. Most of the bodies being
found along Tug river have been
washed from the EIkhorn river. The
loss of property by the flood on the
Elkhorn and the Tug rivers is now
roughly estimated at from $5,OOO,0O
to $S,O0O,OOO.
Z Gov. White has issued a statement
to the public that there is no distress
which cannot be provided for by the
home people and outside help is not
needed.

IS REDMOND A MURDRRRR7
Coroner's Jury Holds Him to the Grand
Jury for stabbing Tom scruggs
in Troost Park.

Kansas City. Mo-, June 26.-Thomas
Re imond was held for investigation
and trial by cornorer's jury as the
boy who killed Tom Scruggs, son of
NJ d. Scruggs, in Troost park Sunday
evening. Harvey Ryan and Joseph
Rousch were held for investigation
and trial as accessories to the crime.
The evidence against Redmond as the
slayer of Tom Scruggs seemed COM
plete. Witness after witness testified
that Redmond was the boy who was
fighting with Scruggs, except the lit
tie fellow who struck Scruggs once
or twice with stick. 1t was Redmond
who had knife with him before the
fight. Itwas Redmond who was seen
to strike at Scruggs with something
in his hand. It was Redmond who,
after Scruggs had fallen and lay bleed
ing in the grass, looked around as if
dazed and then made a motion as if
tossing a knife in the lake. Redmond
sat all the while in his chair with his
thin lips pressed tight together and
offered no evidence in his own behalf.

IMPORTANT, IF TRUE.
A Washington Dispatch Says the Attorney
General Is Preparing to Prosecute
Great Corpora to Combinations.

Washington, June 25.-An investiga-
ton to determine whether certain
great corporate combinations, are
operating in contravention of the
Sherman antitrust law is being made
by the department of justice. If it
is ascertained. that the statute has
been and is being violated, and the de-
partment can go into court with suffi-
cient evidence to make a prima facie
case, action will be instituted to
vitiate these combinations. The trust
question then would resolve itself
into paramount legal ISSUE.
and be fought to finish. Against the
federal government would be arrayed
vast aggregations of capital, which
go to make up so-called octopuses.

of Irvine year. While the state plant
