AGGRAVATING EVILS
Traffic in Babies and Slavery in
Two Philippine Islands.
Army Omcers Determined to Stop Sale of
Children in Mindanao and JoIO-Free-
dom Papers Given to Many Held
in Bondage,

Washington, Aug. 23-War depart
ment officials are determined to inter
fere with the traffic in children which
has been going on in certain parts
of the Philippines, constituting one
of the gravest problems with which
army officers in that section have to
deal. Reports received at the war de-
partment say the traffic is confined to
the natives in the departments of Min
danao and Jolo. The traffic comes
as a result of the improvidence of the
people, and families who are bitten by
famine do not hesitate to seek relief
in the sale of their children. Mai.
]. S. Petit, First infantry, the COM
mander in that department., says that
he has about broken up the traffic,
which has been going on in children
of the Tirenarya, degenerate race
south of Cattabado.
Kindred questions which confront
the military authorities in that sec
ton is the state of slavery existing
under the ,Moros, with whom our pa
cific relationship can only be main
tanned by the most adroit and diplo-
matte relations. Col. Petit says that
slavery can only be abolished in one
of two ways, by war or by purchase,
and he adds that the latter process
might be futile. In the third district
of the department, where Maj. o. ].
Sweet is in command, the slavery
question is a constant source of
trouble on account of slaves escaping
from one master to another. That
officer says: whenever a question
relating to slaves comes before me
simply make the owners prove their
slaves beyond doubt, in which case
I have nothing to do with them, but
in case I can pick flaw in their title
I give the alleged slaves freedom pa
pers. Thousands of Moros are held
as slaves who by right are free peo-

A LONG SWIM.
MIR. HOlbein Tries to Initiate Capt. Webb's
Feat of Swimming from Calais to
Dover but Fails.

Dover, Eng, Aug. 26.-NIr. Holbein,
who Saturday, the anniversary of
Capt. Webb's swim from Dover to
Calais, started from Cape Gris-Nez
(between Boulogne-sur-Ner and Cal
ais) in an attempt to swim to
Dover, narrowly escaped drowning.
He covered the course to a point with
in six miles of Dover and then col
lapsed, after having been in the water
IL hours and 40 minutes. The tug
which accompanied him took him
from the water and brought him to
Dover yesterday morning. He was
carried to a hotel in a semi-conscious
condition. 1t was found that his eye
sight had been badly affected by the
salt water. Last night, however, he
had recovered and he announced his
intention to renew the attempt. His
exploit was very remarkable, cOnsid-
ering the roughness of the sea, and
has established record.

STONE FOR The SENATE.
Col. Moses Wetmore Says the ex- Governor
OF Missouri Is Candidate to Sue
coed George q. Vest.

ST. Louis, Aug. 24.--"Ex-Gov. Will
liam j. Stone is not a candidate for
the democratic presidential nominal
ton in 1904. Gov. Stone is a candi-
date for the United States senator
ship and nothing else. You can say
that regardless of all announcements
to the contrary and you can also say
that he will be the next United States
senator from Missouri. He is the
only man in the race having a show of
election" The foregoing was the
declaration made by Col. Moses Wet
more to a reporter yesterday at the
Planters hotel. Col. Wetmore is a
close business, political and personal
friend of ex-Gov. Stone. He was an
ardent friend of his and liberal cam
paign supporter in 1896 and also in
1900, and it is well known that he en-
joys the closest social and political
intimacy with the ex-governor.

Lawton, Ok, Aug. 24.-The land of

that villainous graft has been sue
cessfully worked at FL Reno and prob
ably worked at Lawton. It was dis
covered at Ell Reno last week that the
land Office map had been tempered
with, some person or persons having
checked off so quarter sections of
land which had not been fled upon.
An inspector was set to work to run
the guilty down, but no arrests have

was given the name of the person
making the filing. If it be found that
any of these persons were in a con-
spiracy with the person or persons
who checked off the quarters they
will likely lose their claims.

One might as well try to hang a vene-

Great Britain would be no party to the

Low Germany is on the verge of strug-

easy to sec how countries which are at
issue with themselves and each other,
and whose fiscal arrangements excite
class against class, could agree on a pol
Icy against a commerce competitor.
