than political.
With the exception of the tariff and
legislation affecting Porto Rico, the Phil

be drawn very closely. The President in
his message, which is now in the hands
OF the Public Printer. will deal with
nearly every subject that was discussed
by the Republican leaders in. the last
campaign From statements made by
the Republican Senators and Representa-

ST JOSEPH. No. Nov 25.-0n the
night Of December - 1900, there was a
mysterious murder at Savannah Frank
W Richardson, a wealthy merchant, was
killed in his wife-s bedroom at Savannah.
The whole case has been revived by Pros
ecuting Attorney Booher, who has fIed
information charging Stewart Fife, the

Europe, but another statement has been
made bv one of his friends, who says he
has received letters from young Fife, and
that he is III New York. Others say he
IS IN Chicago, while still others declare
he is in san Francisco,
While suspicion fell on young Fife from
the first. two grand juries failed TO indict
him The evidence is all circUmstantiaI,
for no one, unless il was Mrs Richard
son. saw the deed committed.
Mrs Adele F. Richardson has been in
dicted for the murder OF her husband and
her trial is arranged to take place in

SALE OF LAND IN PHILIPPINES.
Recommendations OF the Taft Com
mission on the subject.


It is understood that the Philippine
Commission, in its report just received
by the Secretary of War. recommends the
repeal of that part of the law which pro-
hibits the sale. lease OF other disposition
Of public lands in the Philippines or the
timber thereon or the mining rights there
IN; and that more latitude be given in the
matter OF granting franchises.
These restrictions were placed in the
Army Appropriation bill year ago for
the purpose Of facilitating its passage and
in order to conciliate Senator Hoar-
While the purpose of the legislation was
20 prevent wholesale grabbing Of public
lands and franchises by adventurous
Americans on the ground and by large
corporations. the practical operations of
the law, according to the testimony of
army officers and others, have been IN
fortunate in retarding the development of
the islands through the introduction of
outside capital.
The Philippine Commission is of the
opinion that, under proper restrictions
which would prevent the islands from be
coming the property Of the big trusts and
OENetDpllSuI COIAFdllGS- PROVISION SuOui0
be made for the sale and lease Of public
lands. Complete pcciication of the ISL
ands, in the Commissions opinion. can
be materially advanced by confirming the
natives IL their squatter rights, and by
providing for internal Improvements
through the granting OF limited fran
chiSes.
As it is now. not a stick OF timber, for
building purposes even. can be cut on the
public lands of the islands. AS there are
69. .000. 600 acres of timber and arabic land
in the Islands, occupied by about 400, eco
natives as sqUatters, there is no reason to
believe that their rights would not be pre-
served under a modification Of the present
law
Senators and Representatives who have
visited the Philippines during the past
summer have had their attention directed
to this matter, and viii, it is believed,
endorse the recommendation Of the Com
mission.

Growing Resentment at British Colo.
NAL Secretary's Remarks-Solders
Continue to Hold Anti-Chamberlaln

Berlin, Nov. 22.-Fresh offense
against Mr.. Chamberlain, the British
colonial secretary, has been taken in
Germany over an open letter, repro
duced here, in which Mr.. Chamber
lain alludes to the tsocalled agitation
in Germany, SO evidently artificial
and entirely based on misapprehen-
sion of my speech and says that he
does not propose to notice it, but that
mo sensible German could be af-
fronted by my words justifyi5ig Brit
ish action in the Transvaal."
The North German Gazette, semi
official, hitherto silent on the subject,
today denounces Mr. Chamberlain S
original utterances at Edinburgh as
inconsiderate and offensive, but con-
siders them to have been modified by
the letter. The paper eXhorts the
army not to be affected or persuaded
into joining in the agitation. Sol
diers, however, continue to hold anti
Chamberlain meetings.
London. Nov. 22.-The fact that the
anti Chamberlain agitation in Ger
many has at last extracted a semi
official expression of approval from
the North German Gazette has had
the effect of convincing the British
press that the situation is becoming
serious. Now the papers are taking
the trouble to explain that Mr.. Cham
berlain's comments on the brutality of
Germans during the war with France
were not intended to insultaor offend
Germany.
''The temper of the German public
is dangerous" says the Morning
Post, land it behooves our people to
be on their guard. The Germans ap-
pear to regard Great Britain as COW
etous, rapacious and barbarous.
From that belief to the corollary that
a barbarous nation ought to be sup
pressed is a short and easy STEP"
Referring to the scurrilous at
taclzs made by the German press, the
Daily Chronicle says: unless the
authorities restrain the unlicensed
abuse of England in the German press
we fail to see how this country can
much longer ignore accumulated IN
suits"
The Standard and the Daily Tele-
graph are much less alarmist in tone.
but they recognize that "such agita-
tons, even when artificial, are not al
ways harmless and it is a good thing
that the relations between the two
governments are so friendly and that
Queen Victoria's blood runs in the
kaiser's veins"
All the papers publish long specials
from Berlin describing the public feel
ing and declaring that the article in
the North German Gazette is proof
that the German emperor is power
less to stem the agitation. which is in
tended, if possible, to force Count Won
Buelow into some anti-British pro
nOuncement
