THE WHITE MANS BURDEN.

being anxiously awaited by the people
who are interested in the Babcock bill,
which provides that certain trust goods
shall be placed upon the free list. Some
half a dozen members of congress and the
senate, who have been to Europe this
summer profess to believe that Mr. Bah
cock, whom they saw while abroad, has
modified his tariff views as the result of
a study of European conditions, and may
not introduce the bill or will introduce
it in a modified form, which will meet
the objections of the high protectionists,
who think they see in it a menace to the
protective principle. Several of these re-
turned members say they talked with Mr.
Babcock a number of times In London,
Paris, Berlin and elsewhere, and their
prediction that he had experienced a
change of heart has led to considerable
rejoicing in New England, where the
most of the high protectionists live. No
direct word has been heard from Mr.. Bah
cock, and so 1t is impossible to know
Just how far the returned gentlemen, all
of them opposed to the bill, have been
influenced by their own opinions in their
reports.
The friends Of the Babcock bill do not
believe that the Wisconsin gentleman
has changed front, and their belief seems
to be supported by the letter from Bah
cock printed in his home paper in Wis
consin. They say that he is thoroughly
committed to the principle of mis- bill,
and will be strengthened as the result Of
his trip abroad. They say that the gen
tlemen who have come home with the
message that he has "quit," are special
pleaders, and, consciously or uneon-
sciously, have put words into Mr.. Bah
cocks mouth, or misunderstood him. But
should 1t be found out that he has
changed, they add that other prominent
republicans will be ready to take up his
work and carry it forward. 1t would,
of course, be better for the bill to have
Mr. Babcock introduce it, for he is a
member Of the ways and means commit
tee, where the first battle will be fought,
and will be in better condition to render
the bill good service than any man not
a member. But if he should decline to
take up the burden, not only will others
do it for him; but he will suffer a loss of
prestige which will hardly compensate for
what he will gain in the way of smooth
sailing with his friends in the house.
Will Take UP His Work Again.
For these reasons Mr.. Babcock's re-
turn is being anxiously awaited by re-
publicans representing both sides of the
tariff question. But no matter what his
present views may be, it is predicted that
the public is now so deeply interested
in tariff reform that the question cannot
help coming before congress. In the
early days of the discussion it might have
been quieted by the placating of some of
its chief representatives; but that time

into Detroit Oct 1, and that the Pennylva-

NO C0WARDICE
Former Spanish Governor Vindi-

Madrid, Aug. 2.-Lieutenant Enrique
Capriles, former governor of Santiago de
Cuba, who was on board the Spanish
cruiser Viscaya during the battle of San
tiago, in an attempt to escape with the
city records and treasure of Santiago,
in an interview regarding Admiral Schley,
said:
1 was on the bridge of the Vizcaya and saw
the fight. l saw the Brooklyn and from an
excellent position observed her movements.
The Brooklyn attacked us, and it is ridiculous
to say the Brookln kept too far away or
stayed out of the fight. There can't have
been cowardice where the ship engaged three
OF ours. Eye-witnesses of the battle are dy-
ing off, and it is better to finally settle the
question now while enough witnesses are liv-
ing.

Claims of Defense in Grand Rapids
Doodle Scandal.
SEN. NICHOLS OUTLINES IT
Says Money Salisbury Received Was
For a Purely Legitimate Fee and
That All other Money Was Re-
turned to Taylor.

Grand Rapids, Mich, Nov 6.-Attor-
ney George Il. Nichols outlined the de-
Tense in the trial of City Attorney
Liant X. Salisbury for bribery yester
day afternoon. He said that testimony
had been offered which reflected upon
nearly every Official connected with
the city government.
THE proofs given thus far" he said,
have been from men who are not cit
liens OF Grand Rapids, but who came
here, according to their own confess
sion, to secure valuable contract by
corrupt methods, and failed. The de-
Tense will endeavor to show by the
mayor, the members of the board OF
public works, the council by Mr.. Nc
Garry and Mr.. Salisbury, that none of
the statements made by these wit
nesses are true; we will put upon the
stand Mr.. Taylor, the man who these
people claim was robbed, and he will
say he has not lost one cent, and
think will show 1t.
"Garman went to this man, repre-
senting he had an option upon the
hydraulic company; he wanted loan
Of $4,000 upon the bonds Of this com
pany, and Taylor believed the repre-
oChl0llOLS ny bdi man NCiC u w.
Cameron, who was Mr.. Garman's
agent, first came and secured the legal
services of McGarry. McGarry
thought he should have a retainer
and that services of that magnitude
should be worth $40 900; Garman gave
McGarry a draft for 81 900 for re-
tainer fee, and this was credited the
same day upon McGarry's books. This
l.. IL. IL. L,
absolutely no arrangement between
McGarry and this respondent and that
the statements of the New York wit
nesses were absolutely without found
alton
I'VE will show that, in placing mon
ey in Grand Rapids, Mr. Taylor was
but carrying out the terms OF his con
tract; the $4,000 was to meet neces-
sary expenses, legal fees and pay for
necessary options. The $4,000 was
taken by Mr.. Taylor, placed in
satchel and was taken to New York.
The remainder was left for McGarry
as an attorney fee and for payment of
purely legitimate expenses" Mr.. Mich
OILS said it would be shown that Taylor
did no boodling and had no intention
Of doing any.
II. A. Taylor was then put on the
stand as the first witness. He is a
young man of % years of age and
managed the estate left by his father.
He said he never met Macleod or
Salisbury until his present visit to the
city. He first became interested in
the water enterprise here through an
application for loan of $4,000 on
the hydraulic company securities.
Then it was represented to him that
the hydraulic company could be pur-
chased and that the city could be pre-
vailed upon to guarantee $4000,000
bonds and award the company a con-
tract to supply the city with Lake
Michigan water
Taylor detailed the preliminary ne
gotiations and representations that
were made to him by Garman and then
court adjourned.

Another Big Elevator Destroyed at

STEAMER NARROWLY ESCAPED
Was Unloading Grain When Fire
Broke Out-loss Estimated at Quar-
ter of Million Dollars, But Well
Covered by Insurance.

Port Huron, Mich, Nov. 5.-For the
second time within year Port Huron
has suffered an elevator loss, and last
night two large adjoining elevators of
the Botsford Elevator company were
RACED to the ground by flames. The
steamer Spokane was unloading grain
from Chicago at the time the fire
caught in leg of the elevator and
spread with great rapidity. 1t looked
as though the Spokane was doomed,
cut leg away and the Spokane steamed
away with the leg in her hold In the
elevator were stored 100000 bushels
of grain, but it could not be saved, al
though firemen made frantic efforts
Adjoining residences were threat
ened, and firemen directed attention
to saving them, but one was destroyed.
The wind was blowing from the north
west, and this saved the freight sheds
of the Port Huron q Washburn line.
The elevator plant was valued at $110,-
000 and is total loss; covered by $685.

This elevator was to have been used
as one of the storage points in project
ing through grain route Of the Grand
Trunk SYSTEM from Duluth to Leith,
Scotland j. Z. Botsford stated that
the loss of the elevator plant would
not hinder the project, as a million
bushel elevator will be constructed at
Point Edward, Ont. He said 1t is not
probable that the destroyed plant
would be rebuilt.
