A REspoSsrBILITY AFFIRMED.

1t may be said that there is no occasion
are returning from the Philippines to speak
of the insurrection and the causes of its
growth and decline, now that peace is
practically restored There are doubtless
many people who wish that the words of
the last campaign uttered by party orators
should not now be recalled. Those who
sneered at the shooting of civilization into
the Filipinos with Calling guns and others
who openly gloried I'm the opposition of
the followers Of Aguinaldo would, in all
proba bility, desire the silence of forgetful
ness.
While the conflict was going on in the
Philippines, General Lawton in his out
spoken manner. and General Macarthur in
a guarded manner. asserted that the in
surrection against the United States was
encouraged by the attitude of Mr.. Bryan.
his friends in the campaign, and the anti
imperialists in this country The fact that
the instruction came to end in less than
six months after the election proves that
the statements of these officers and others
in the Philippines were correct. While Mr..
Bryan, a candidate, and others on the
stump with him advocated the withdrawal
of the army from the Philippines. those
bearing arms took courage and those who
would be friends were neutral.
In this connection the statement of Gen
eral Fred Grant>is important if not inter-
esting to ALL He says that a reaction
against United States authority set in
after Mr.. Bryan's speech of acceptance
was delivered in this city Pressure was
put upon property-holders by insurgents to
compel them to espouse their cause. They
were naturally on the side of the United
States. but when they heard that a party
here was coming into power that would
withdraw the American troops they ceased
to show sympathy with the American au-
thorities. The result of this wavering was
a campaign by the insurgents to compel
all of the natives to take the oath of allie
glance to Aguinaldo. Those who refused
were murdered, over one thousand persons
in the province of Pampanga, General
Grant asserts. being killed because they
would not swear to support the insurrec-
ton. In one narrow district over 800 people
were buried alive.
When it was known that Mr.. Bryan had
been defeated that the American army
would not be Withdrawn, and that Ameri-
can authority would be maintained in the
archipelago, the instruction went to pieces
and the mass of people that preferred the
security OF the rule of the United States
came to the support of the government.
Thus is the charge of General Lawton
and others that those opposing the policy
of the administration at home re-
sponsibIe for the killing of every Ameri-
can soldier and of the gallant Lawton him
self. fully sustained. Mr.. Bryan and those
in close sympathy with him mainly re-
sponsible for the loss of life and the tur-
moil during the months prior to the presi-
Dental election. 1t is but fair to recall this
fact now and hereafter.

Tor the tarin and American enterprise.

by German expert who visited this coun-
try with view OF investigating its manu-
features and Industrial conditions. 1t is
frank admission of the extraordinary prog
ress in manufactures made by the country
during the last few years. LAS late as ten
years ago." says the report. nobody be-
lieved that America within calculable time,
would be able to produce iron so cheaply
as to enable Ii TO compete with England in
the worlds markets. To-day this is an ac-
complished fact" 1t is further stated that
American enterprise. aided by improved
methods, have made the American iron in
dustry the leading factor in the world
market, with which. undoubtedly. European
competing industry will have to reckon for
all time to come" Such reports as this are
not calculated to allay German apprehen-
sion of American competition.

mittcd to Answer Questions.

NEW YORK, May 2O.-With most of the
States evidence already presented to the
jury, the third week of the trial of DR..
Samuel ]. Kennedy, on the charge of muir
dering Emeline Dolly Reynolds, in the
Grand Hotel. on Aug. 16. 1898, began to-day.

chant testified he had known DR.. Kennedy

a check written by Kennedy. They were
placed in evidence despite the objection of
Kennedy's counsel.

found bicycle cap in DIR. Kennedy's office
on Aug. 49, Valley testified on the second
trial that the cap was found on Aug. IL.
and last week testified that 1T was on Aug.
16 Witness also testified to the finding of
an iron bar and piece of lead pipe in the
cellar of the defendants house.
Mrs. Christian Reynolds. mother of Dolly
Reynolds. was placed on the witness stand
by the State to prove that her daughter
told her DR.. Kennedy had made money for
fer on the races. She has not testified at
any Of the previous trials. Her testimony
was to supply the motive for which DR..
Kennedy had killed Dolly Reynolds. Mrs.
Reynolds was asked If she had some talk
with her daughter about DR.. Kennedy. The
defense objected and was sustained.
What did your daughter say TO you
about DIR. Kennedy"
Objected to hearsay evidence and sus-
tanned.
Did your daughter draw money from the
bank?"

Did she tell you what she was going to
do with the money!"

cutting a piece from the pipe on May OF
this year. He also told of cutting the small
piece of lead pipe alleged to have been
found in DR.. Kennedy's room and said. in
of which the bludgeOn was made. On
cross examination Mr.. Moore asked witness
whether at the last trial he had said they
were not of the same size.
II did not put il that way, said Dr.
L.ederle. Il said parts were not of the
same size.
Compare the piece cut from the
bludgeon with the piece alleged to have
been found in the defendants cellar, are
they of the same siZe?
Dr. Lederle said they were not exactly
the same size. The bludgeon. he said. was
irregular. but its walls We're generally
thicker than the piece alleged TO have been
found in the cellar.
James d. Andrews. who has charge of the
mechanical department of the MetropOi-
tan Street-railway Company. testified that
that the two pieces of iron rod were of the
same piece. The defense Will call experts
to show that the iron bar was cut by a
cold chisel and that the cross sections do
not correspond.

For months the American people have
been receiving contradictory reports as to
the situation in Russia and its attitude
toward the other powers. The larger part
OF the reports represent Russia as on the
brink of revolution, and that it is false in
its professions TO other nations. A cOrre-
spondent OF the Chicago Record Herald
recently declared that several American
newspapers are in the pay of the Russian
government. This would have been inter-
esting news II the papers had been named
AS they were not named. the assertion is of
little Importance. Since that statement the
New York Herald has published a Ions dis
patch from its representative in St. Peters
burg. In which he declares that the reports
of disturbances OF a formidable character
in Russia are OF British and German ORR
gin and have no foundation in fact He
declares that the students who became a
mob were not cruelty beaten by Cossacks
without cause. since ii is the sport of the
Russian student TO come into collision with
police and soldiers. There are SO many of
these conflicting stories that people do not
know which are false and which are true.
