A writer in one of the July magazines
says 1.-The pawning of new possessions for
money is the civilized method of breaking
up and conquering a weaker country"
Such acquisition of territory does not at
tract so much attention as ~conquering with
armies. but it is much cheaper and more
effective. To-day Persia is owned by Rus
STA and Great Britain because those gov
ernments have loaned it money and hold
its railroads and chief industries as secur-
ity. AS it can never pay the loans. Persia
is entirely under the control of those two
powers. Portugal is owned by Great Brit
ain. In South America the conquest Of
governments by loaning them money is
steadily going on. The Argentine Republic
has been sold TO its European creditors.
whom it owes $500. o O.O0o. for the payment
of which its railroads., mines and other pub

rowed all the money it can upon its natural
resources. In time it will cease to be a
nation except in name.
1t was the knowledge that Cuba would
soon be mortgaged to European govern

the Platt amendment. which makes it i'm
possible for Cuba to borrow money or pay
the millions OF alleged bonds issued by
Spain and the provisional governments of
the revolutionists. Without such a prohibi-
ton and without the supervision Of the
United States the untried rulers of Cuba
and the adventures who will seek their
own advantage would soon have involved
the independent government of Cuba in a
debt which would make it dependent upon
the government whose people had pur-
chased the bonds of the republic. 1t is
probable that most OF the opposition to the
Platt amendment came indirectly from in
~triguers and spectators who would have
obtained practical control of the island by
the mortgaging of its resources to Euro

WHITMARSH in TROUBLE
CHARGES AGAINST THE GOVERNOR
OF BENGUET PROVINCE
He IL Alleged to Have Used His Po-
sition to His Personal Advantage
and Has Been Ordered to Manila.

MANILA. July s.-The United States Phil
ippine Commission has ordered Ii. Phelps
Whitmarsh. the Governor of Benguet prov
ince, TO come TO Manila ard submit TO an
investigation, owing to the allegation that
he has been using his position TO his per-
sonal advantage. in acquiring land and min
ing rights from the natives. He is at
present charged with indiscretion and vD-
lation of his instructions. The commission
particularly instructed Governor Whit
marsh to cultivate friendship and protect
the interests of the Igorotes who suffered
from Spanish extortions and explorations.
Colonel Duval. of the Forty-eighth Regi-
ment, which formerly occupied the proNin-
ces of Union and Benguet, and DR.. kief-
fer. the regimental surgeon, who was prom
iEent in the civil administration or the

The commission is inclined TO attribute
the feeling existing to military opposition

statements made by natives 10 Commits

pany. what the company would do to end

would make no concession whatever. Mr..
O'Connell reported the result of the con-
ference TO the strikers. who voted 10 stay

afternoon Mr.. Post sent a letter to X. J.

vicinity ii is well known that several of
the financial Institutions doing large bust
ness are not members Of the Clearing
house Association. This fact. however. Is
not known abroad. and if it were il would
lead to inquiries as to the cause. Such
inquiries could not be answered except in
a manner which might give an unfavorable
impression. If all the financial institu-
tons in the city that use the clearing house
in other cities should join the association
here indianapolis would appear in the
reports as one of the cities Of its popula-
ton doing the largest business in the
country. Such a showing would be ad-
vantageous to the city. Scores Of banks
in this State and in portions of other
States near indianapolis would deposit
IN indianapolis banks If the clearinghouse
reports from week to week showed that its
financial institutions were doing a large
business. The Journal learns that efforts
are being made to bring all of the financial
institutions into the clearing house at an
early day, and that the reasons in favor
OF such an achievement are so valid that
there is good prospect that it will be done.

HOW The CHINESE FIGHT
CAPTAIN M'CALLA TELLS OF BOXERS
AND REGULAR TROOPS.
Former Are Religious Enthusiast
Who Know No F~car-Latter Well
Armed, but Have Weak Points.

NEW YORK. July S.-Captain Bowman
Ii. McCalla, commanding the cruiser New
ark, which has just returned from the
far East, in speaking of the fighting
which Admiral Seymour's column encoun-
tered last summer in trying to relieve the
besieSed legation at Picking, said:
"A first we had only the Boxers TO con-
wish for. They had the best OF the Maus-
ers, the finest Of Mannlichers and good
krupp guns. Nobody could ask for bet
ter than that
1T was almost pathetic to see how the
Boxers fought. Their religious enthusiasm
and faith in certain things was extraordi-
nary. They believed that by waving their
banners and spears in a certain way and
making peculiar motions with their hands
the bullets from our guns could not harm
them. Nothing could shake their faith in
this kind OF defense. They would not
run away. L saw a parcel of twenty-five
OF them stand UP and be shot down 10 the
last man. All through the fire they kept
bowling ana making their strange motions.
Even when the last Of the twenty-five had
been shot to mis- knees he kept salaaming
to the end. / could not understand il.
lit was different with the Chinese reg
ularS. They knew what bullets could do.
They are not very good marksmen. They
would begin to shoot when they were a
great distance away. but there were so
many of them that ii kept one rather busy
trying to dodge the bullets. They dis
played more order under fire than l eX-
pected. but that is due TO the German
methods employed In their training. |
saw one body OF them walk off very calm
ly and in splendid order under q hot fire.
But Us soon as they are threatened from
the rear they give way in bad style. They
seem TO be very sensitive to the danger
OF being cut off. That is a Chinese SOL
dier's weak point"
Speaking or the Japanese Captain Nc
Gala said: The efficiency of their army
Is something to marvel at. Think of it,
when the allies got TO Picking the Japanese
mad an electric searchlight and a stor-
age battery. which proved of the greatest
service in stOrming the wall. They are
modest. quiet. but businesslike at all
times

Glass Bottle Blowers.

MILWAUKEE, July S.-The feature of
to-day's session of the Glass Bottle Blow
ers' Association Of the United States and
Canada was the denunciation by Mayor
Rose of the injunction against the strik-
ing machinists, and his other pro-labor
utterances. The mayor was made an hon
orary member of the association. In his
address the mayor stated that The mere
issued BY a cheaper court commissioner
will not justify the world in condemning
Milwaukee as being in sympathy with the
movement against the striking machin-
lists"
President Hayes, of the association, in
his response, said the object of the Glass
sible for the workmen to enjoy some of
the pleasures of life. but that they were
often hampered by injunctions. Following
these addresses to-day's session was de-
voted TO organization and appointment of
committees.

CLEARING HOUSE ASSOCIATION.

Now hat Indianapolis is becoming a
financial center. it seems very important
that all the banks and trust companies
should belong TO the clearinghouse As
ISOLATION. as is the case in most other
cities. Men all over the country look TO
the weekly reports of the clearing house
TO ascertain the volume of business trans
acted in the different cities. Many bust
ness men base their estimate OF the busi-
ness OF a city upon the figures OF the
clearing house. If a city with a consid-
cradle population and the natural center
OF a large trade does not show as large
clearinghouse figures as other cities OF
similar population. they very naturally
come TO the conclusion that such city is
rot doing the business 1t should. In this
