TREATMENT OF AGUlNALDo.
General Grant Declares Filipino Leader Is

General Grant Declares Filipino Leader Is
of Little Importance.
General Frederick Dent Grant, who
has just returned from the Philippines,
regarding Agulnaldo, says:
"Aguinaldo was not as much of a
capture in the Philippines as he seems
to have been here. TO tell the truth,
he had lost about all of his influence.
We did not treat him as if we consid
cred him of some Importance. We can
not kill him, of course, but we want to
make him feel that he stands on the
same footing with any other Fill pino.
If we should fine him $40 and send him
to Jail for thirty days, and set him to
breaking rock, it would be better for
him and for ourselves.
eff, when he comes over here, we
treat him with contempt, he will be
treated with contempt by the natives
when he goes home But if over there
they get the idea that we have a high
opinion of Aguinaldo's Importance,
when he gets back he will have fol-
lowing which may make US trouble"
General Grant said that the friars
were much hated and were very COR
rupt. The Philippine commission, he
said, desired to treat the friars the
same as any other person, with no
more consideration, and with no less.

MAJOR DAILY A SUICIDE.
Army Surgeon Who Began Embalmed Beer
Inquiry shoots Himself.


Major w. H. DAILY, general
on the staff of General Miles in Porto
Rico, committed suicide at his home in
Pittsburg, Pa, Sunday, by shooting
himself in the right temple. The body
OF the doctor was found in the bath
room, lying in pool of blood. with
3s-caliber revolver lying on the floor.
DR.. Foster, who was summoned at
once, found the bullet-hole in the tenn
pie and announced that death had
taken place several hours before. A
servant rememb bered hearing a sharp
report about 1880 a. M, but thought it
was the quick closing of window.
No cause is known for DR.. Daly's
deed, unless it be that insomnia drove
him temporarily insane. For some
time he has been unable to sleep regu-
larly.
The doctor was a widower and leaves
no immediate family. He was 50 years
of age and for many years has been
prominent in medical circles. He
gained international prominence dur
ing the Cuban war, as it was his report
to the commanding general of the army
that started the "em balmed beef" in-
quiry.

What Potatoes Contain.

Potatoes contain the alkaloid sola-
min, although this fact is not generally
recognized. New potatoes contain COM
paratively little of this poison, unless
they grow above the surface of the
ground and have a green skin, when
they are generally known to be poison
Gus. It Is not, however, known gen.
srally that old potatoes contain much
OF this poisonous principle, and that
many cases of serious poisoning have
occurred in late summer when old po-
tatoes were used.

Plot to Blow up Bridge and Rob Express
Car Suspected-Three Men implicated.
Last Sunday a cowboy discovered 500
pounds of dynamite hidden in a deep
ravine alongside the Union Pacific
track six miles east of Green River,
Wyo., says dispatch to the Salt Lake
Herald. With the assistance of a COM
panion he removed the explosive to
another place and notified the authori-
ties. watch was kept on the ravine,
and Tuesday night three mounted and
we'll armed men rode to the place where
the dynamite had been hidden. Dis
moved, the outlaws cursed roundly and
put spurs to their horses and fled to
the mountains before the officers could
in terfere.
Officials are satisfied that plan had
been laid to blow up the bridge that
spans the ravine and to wreck and
rob an express train. Not only the ac-
tions of the men, but their talk indi-
Gated that Tuesday night was the time
set for the deed. One of the outlaws
was heard to remark that he guessed
they would have to pass up the treas
ure safe this time.
The accidental discovery of the dyna-
mite undoubtedly frustrated daring
attempt to wreck a train, and perhaps
I
destroy many lives. The company has
been expecting an attack from train
robbers ever since the Table Tocll af-
fair last year, and guards have been
riding on all passenger trains carrying
money or valuables. Union Pacific
secret service men are now at work on
the case, and an effort will be made to
trail the three men to their hiding
place in the mountains.

Exactions of Sultan of Jolo Cause Frictit

An issue has been presented to the
war department growing out of the
eXactions by the Sultan of Jolo of a tax
upon pearl fisheries in the waters of
the southern archipelago. These taxes
are compared with the value of the
fisheries and have been paid to the
sultan for many years past. Up to this
time they have never been questioned,
but now certain foreign corporations
which have brought to the pearl fish
cries improved apparatus and methods
claim that they are exempt from this
sort of taxation under the treaty
1865 between Spain on the one side and
England, Germany and France on the
other, whereby Spain guarantees to
other powers the freedom of the fish
cries in those waters.

WILL NOT GUARANTEE
CHINESE lNDEM NIFTY
Constitutional Provisions VIII Not Permit
this Government to Adopt Pro-
posed Plan.

The government has formally COM
municated to the foreign powers the
impossibility of joining in joint
guarantee for the payment OF the Chi
nese indemnity. The difficulties in
the way of such an arrangement are
set forth in the communication, par
ticularly those relating to the consti
tutional restrictions on the president
ia making a joint agreement OF this
character. In view of the determine
ton of the United States not to be a
party to jointguarantee there is anx-
iety shown in diplomatic circles as to
the outcome on the question of in
IDENTITIES. One view is that the ma
jority of the powers being favorable
to Joint guarantee, will execute this
Joint instrument, and thereafter carry
on concert of their own. In that
event, it is said, the United States
would arrange directly with China as
to the American portion of the indem-
nifty. The represen atives of most of
the European powers do not believe
that a resort to The Haugue tribunal
as proposed by the United States will
be acceptable to their government

Carnegie Gives $a,ooO,ooo to Cooper Unio,

Andrew Carnegie, who was elected a
trustee of Cooper Union last October,
is credited with a plan for the extern
sion of the work begun by the late
Peter Cooper, which will involve the
expenditure of large sum of money.
Cooper Union, it is said by one in
authority, will be remodeled to make
room for the improvements contem-
plated by Mr. Carnegie, whose purpose
it is to duplicate the present endow-
ment fund, amounting to So, ,o54, ,015,
without attracting attention to him
self.
Mr.. Carnegie has already gwen $780,
900 as a special endowment to Cooper
Union, and it is said he would have
raised this gift to $3,000,o 600 but for the
fear that his muniicence would over
shadow that of the founder of the in
stitution, Peter Cooper.
