MORGAN SEES SAMPSON.
Gunner Meets the Admiral Who is
 Against Promotion from Ranks.


 Boston, Feb 27-Chief Gunner Charles Morgan, U. s. N., whose name has become known in connection with his application for consideration as one of a number of warrant officers, to be advanced to positions in the line, and in endorsing which Rear Admiral Sampson expressed the hope to the sec- retary of the navy that promotions of this character would not be made as a general thing, came to Boston to-day and called upon Admiral Sampson. Some time was spent in convefsa tion. Admiral Sampson would see no reporter concerning the subject, sending out word that he was sick and tired of it.'
 Chief Gunner Morgan left for New port again this afternoon Just before he started he was induced to say: T came up from Newport to- thank Ad- miral Sampson for the very friendly indorsement he gave me-" The chief gunner said he did not take it as a per- sonal affront that the admiral had ad- vised against admitting warrant off, cers to the line, saying that he consid- cred that the admiral had given him good recommendation. He had long talk with the admiral to-day, he said, and with MT Bennett, the admtral's aide, with whom he dined T found Admiral Sampson" he concluded, kind and courteous as always. More than that I canont say

MARK TWAIN ON OSTEOPATHY. Makes Some Amusing Remarks Befor, New York Legislative Committee.

Albany N. Y., Feb. 27.-Mark Twain was the feature of the hearing to-day on the bill to license osteopathy in the state. That is, MT. Clements appeared with the advocates of the bill, but he did not seriously ask for the bill's pass age or urge the benefits of the cult. Mark Twain said in part
 1T find myself almost in an embar- rassing situation. If I ever had pur- pose in being here these debaters knocked it out. They use terms that don't understand, and 'don't see how you can understand them What inn presses me is the way these doctors call off the names of all the diseases in the world. It makes me envious of the man who has had them all. l am an experimenter. have had a number of diseases, but am willing to take more, but want to distribute them among, not only doctors, but the montebanks.
 T came here to listen and did not eX- pect to speak, but now that I am here and am to speak I am glad of it, but there are others who are to show you osteopathy I want the liberty of try ing it.
 Adam probably did not want the ap- pie until he found he could not have it. I wouldn't have taken one apple, but the whole crop. I hold my mother re- sponsible for my desire for experiment. She experimented on me. I didn't en- joy it then, but I do now. When my mother heard of a new cure she didn't select one from the flock hazardly. No; she chose judiciously and chose the one she could spare, which was myself How well do I remember the water cure away back in 1842. It was tried on me. was boy about seven years of age, and every morning that got up I had bucket of ice cold water thrown over me, and then came the rubbing with warm blankets.
 After that I was wrapped in sheet wet with ice water and put to bed. And the precipitation that used to come out in that bed But, fortunately, the bed was supplied with a life preserver Why, you should have seen the yellow color of that sheet when they took it off me, but it was only the outpourings of my conscience, just spiritual outpour dngs, and fortunately it removed all, so | that I am not troubled now. When I l was boy my mother tried three reme- dies on me, and I still live. like oste- opathy because you don't have to take | any medicine"
 The hearing was a large one and last | ed several hours without final decis- | ion by the committee. The physicians present argued against the bill in the 1 same strain as they had against the Christian Science bill a few weeks ago.

FOR MORE ENTERPRISES.
KEYNOTE AT DINNER OF BUSINESS
 MEMS ASSOCIATION.

Strong Speech on New Haven's Indus- l tries by Gen. BradIey-R Rev. Dr. PhiI- l Selling Law-DeIegations from State Association and Other City Organiza- tions Present. Good Speaking and Good Eating G. 1T. Whites Success. Combination to get more business en- terprlses here was the keynote at the dinner of the New Haven Business Mems associati ton last night at the Ton tine hotel. A large delegation from the state association and from the rest of the associations and trades unions of the state helped to make the occasion adequate for such a manifestation of active business spirit as it is believed New Haven has never seen. This spirit' was evident in the sentiments expressed from the opening remarks of the presi- dent, Edward l. Atwater, who announc- ed the appointment of Assistant Dis trict Attorney Richard H. Tyner as the future attorney of the New Haven as- sociation, to the speech of Rufus S. Jackson, president of the state board of trade, who was not on the pro- gramme, but who strongly extended the theme of the speakers of the evening.
 A characteristic speech was that made by General Edward E. Bradley, whom Toastmaster Wilson H. Lee, of the Price-Lee company, introduced as the next president for the chamber of commerce. General Bradley's subject was New Havens Industries" in the course of which he made a strong ut terance against the nomination of un- educated men to fill our municipal of fees. He recommended that the Busi- ness Mems association and the cham

 Expedition Unchanged.
 Berlin, Feb 27.-The supplementary estimates were presented to the Bun- desrath to-day. They asked for an ad- ditionaI 120 682, 900 marks on account of China of which 100,200000 are for the army and 17500,000 are for the navy. The memorandum of the government says the objects of the expedition are unchanged. The intervention of the powers has produced a slow but steady improvement In the situation in China. Large military undertakings are no longer necessary, but small expeditions are operating to restore order. It is not permissible at present to reduce the German forces owing to the military pressure which may be necessary in the future negotiations. For that reason the maintenance of the expedition is provided until July S1, 1903, though part or the whole force will be withdrawn before then. The sum of 100000 marks is provided to acquire more ground around the German legations

 HANDS COMPLETE CONTROL.

China to be Allowed to Resume the
 Civil Government but Otherwise l Persons of Other NationaIities For bidden-Other Terms of Agreement. London, Feb 2S.--The Pekin corre- spondent of the Times, pr. Morrison, wiring yesterday, gives a precise draft of the Manchurian convention. He says:
 Russia requires China to sign a con- vention consisting of twelve articles The first says the czar is willing to for get the recent hostilities in Manchuria and consents to allow China to resume the civil government.
 'The other articles virtually place complete control in Russian hands. They exclude Chinese troops and forbid the importation of arms.

 Article 8 provides that in Man. churia, Mongolia and Chinese Turkes- tan no railway mining or other conces- sions shall be granted to persons of any other nationality nor China herself con- struct any railroad.
 "No land around Niu Chwang can be leased to foreigners. The remaining clauses deal with indenlnities. So far as the military expense is concerned Russia will act in conjunction with other powers"

EIGHT HO URS FOR ENG ISH MINERS
House of Commons Passes Bill-Argu-
 ment Against Measure.

London, Feb. 27.-The House of Con- mons to-day, after lengthy debate, passed the second reading of the bill restricting the work of miners to eight hours daily by 212 to 199 votes. The bill is a private measure. The oppo- nents of the restriction of the hours of labor insisted that such action would enormously enhance the price of coal Sir Alfred Hickman, conservative, said the country during the past year had had an object lesson of the effect on trade of dear coal. The British govern ment had to buy bridges in America for Uganda, Egypt and Burmah. The railroads bought rails in America, and even coal had to be imported into this country. In the United States miners produced fifty per cent. more coal than they did in England, not because they were more slxilful but because they worked ten hours per day.

to the President.

to the President.
 Washington, Feb. 27.-Not since the a state of war to exist between the United States and Spain has there been such an avalanche of passionate ora- tory as the Senate listened to to-day. Throughout the session the army ap- propriation bill was under discussion, the uncontroverted questions being the Spooner Philippine amendment and the Platt amendment. Curiously enough the debate was confined entirely to the democratic side with one exception. Both amendments were denounced as vicious and subversive according to the existing provisions of the constitution.
 The army appropriation bill was passed at 12:54 o'clock, containing the propositions of the republican majority for the temporary government of the Philippines and for the future relations between the United States and Cuba. Many amendments were offered to both propositions but were voted down. The original Spooner amendment was dIllClluSu ISSdIuillo llcAlSliloCo oo PAo- posed by Mir Hoar, the latter proposi- ton having been accepted by the ma- jority yesterday.
 The Philippine amendment as agreed to by the Senate is practically as fol- lows: "All military, civil and judicial powers necessary to govern the islands, acquired from Spain by the treaty con- cluded at Paris, December 10, 1898, and at Washington November 7, 1900, shall, until otherwise provided by congress be administered by the commissioners ap- pointed by the president of the United States
 Full reports of the acts of said gov ernment in the islands and of its people shall be made to the president"
 It is provided that no sale or lease etc, of the public lands or the timber thereon, or the mining rights therein shall he made; and provided further, that no franchise shall be granted which is not approved by the president of the United States and Is not in his judgment according to the law of the land.
