HONOLULU CHURCH ROW.
Episcopal Rector Charged With At
tempting to Found a New Sect.

HONOLULU, March 2S.-Two official
statements which partake of the char
acter of indictments have been issued
BY the Very Rev. Alfred Willis, Angli-
can bishop of Honolulu, charging that
the Rev. John Osboune. the rector
of st, Clements chapel, mas attempted
to establish a new sect, under the name
of the Episcopal Church at large
In defending their position the mem
berS of st. Clements chapel assert
that the hishop has taken this means
of doing injury to them because they
declined to turn over their church
property to him, unless he made GER
tain concessions which they desired. 1t
is possible that the dispute will be
carried to higher church authorities.
Rev. Osbourne and those associated
with him deny emphatically that they
have attempted to leave the jurisdic-
tion Of the local diocese,

AGUINALDo IN PRISON.

MANILA. March SO.-In company
with Col Vellia. his chief Of STAFF. and
I'r. Barcelona. ex-treasurer of the Fill
pino government, Aguinaldo now occu-
pies one of the incest apartments of the
Malcanan palace. He is closely guard
ed and courteously treated. Captain

fantry; Captain William L. Henley. Of
the First artillery. members of Cen
eral MacArthur's staff; Captain Ben
iamin II. Randolph and Lieutenant
Gilbert A, Youngberg. of the Third ar
tillery with five guards are watching
him.
Aguinaido, nervously pacing the floor
and deeply thinking, thrusts his hands
through his hair. He smokes many ci-
Sars and cigarettes and he also has
a hearty appetite. He speaks only a
few words Of English. He is conscious
of his dignity. but tries to talk pleas
antly with his guards. He often prais-
es the skill and audacity Of General
Funston in effectlng his capture, saying
that only by stratagem could he have
been captured. 1t is said that Aguln-
aldo is very strongly adverse to re-
trating from his former attitude but
that he must regard the best interests
of the Filipino people.
The sisters of DR.. Barcelona have
called upon him, bringing a supply of
linen. Agunaldo is well supplied with
money and he ordered a supply of new
clothes. He is careful of his personal
appearance. He celebrated his thirty
second birthday before he was captured.
The birthday festivities were prolonged
and only terminated upon the arrival
of General Funston. Aguinaldo tries to
read the American newspapers and is
anxious to learn the state of public
opinion in the. United States concerning
Philippine affairs. He had a conference
with General Trias and Chief Justice
Arellano. but his future intentions have
not been announced.
He spends much time seated by a
barred window watching the boats
passing up and down the Pasig river.
This morning Aguinaldo was recognized
BY crowd of natives going up the
river in lighter. The natives gaze
on him q while in silence then began
to ieer, calling him Emilio and vile
names in the Tagal language. The
guards quieted the disturbance and Ag-
uinaldo left the window in disgust. The
natives in Manila are undemonstrative
concerning Aguinaldo's capture and it
is difficult to ascertain what a ma
iority of them really think of 1t. 1t is
certain that Aguinaldos influence is
less strong than formerly. though it is
still great.
A representative Of the Associated
Press has interviewed many Filipinos,
including both business and profession
al men in Manila. as well as represent
atives of the lower classes and former
insurgents, on the capture Of Aguin-
aldo. The majority OF the persons
questioned were unfelgnedly glad that
Aguinaldo had been captured and said
they considered that the worst obsta-

LITERARY NOTES,

''Under the Redwood" Is the title of
the latest collection of stories by Bret
Harte, which Messrs. Houghton, Mif-
fin & Co. will publish in April. No
writer of stories is more popular than
Mr.. Hart, and in his latest volume he
takes for his characters tho sailors,
globe-trotters, Indians, vagaboGs, and
Cinnamon, whom he always made SO
interesting; and, as Of old, he pictures
some charming girls and women.
Mrs. Kate Douglas Waggin's narrative
of the experience of Penelope and her
friends in Ireland, has been expanded
since Its appearance in the Atlantic, and
will be issued by Houghton, Mifftin &
Co., in it's enlarged form as "Penelope's
Irish Experiences" Mrs. Wiggin's good
sense and humor were never more hap
PLY in evidence than they are In this
concluding number of the Penelope Sc
rieS.
The April number Of Success con-
tains Gov. Benjamin B. Odel Jr.'s
first magazine article. That rising young
statesman, who delivered ice from his
fathers wagons for number of years in
Newburg, N. Y, and who has now at
tanned a rather formidable position in
American politics, chooses for his debut
in literature, the subject Politics and
the Demands of Good Citizenship" This
is well sustained argument In favor OF
active participation in current political
movements by all young men, without
regard to social status or business cares.
The governor argues that it Is as much
the duty of young man to enter politics,
in the sense of participating, as to go
into business; but that he should not
seek political oiIice until after he has
won success In business. Senator Dollf-i
yer, of Iowa, Bishops Potter and Vim
cent, and a host of other distinguished
writers, assist in making this Easter
issue of Success notable one.

of this fraud upon godliness. Prohi-

sale of intoxicants is. by them prevented
by law. If Mrs. Nation could succeed in
forcing those states either to give up pro-
hibition or enforce it she would be rem

essays such performances as those which
brought her into a Kansas City police
court. she becomes simply peripatetic
nuisance and humbug.

STORIES OF MEN AND WOMEN

Lieut.. James D. Taylor, who is credited
with having given Gen. Funston the in,
formation which led to the capture Of
Aguinaldo, is a graduate of the Virginia
Military institute, says the Chicago
Journal. An old classmate says of Lieut.,
Taylor: ''Had he brought off one of
those cock fights for which he was cele-
brated while he was a cadet, and ad-
vertised it throughout the Philippines,
he would have caught "Aggy' long ago.
He had "a battle every rainy afternoon
when there was no drill, and was never
caught up with. He bought up all the
game cocks in Lexington and Rock
bridge and had them stored away neac
Lexington so that he could have his
paStime.''

our part Of the world named Frank
O'Connor," said B. s. Halsey, of C.ncin-

and no pay. Never before in the history
of the republic, has the executive had
less influence with the government than
during the last two years
Mckinley manages. with much tact
and good humor, to keep his cabinet to-
gether for the purpose of carrying out
the behest of the governing board In the
senate and house. This cabal has forced
upon him, against his Judgment, a colon
ial policy for the insular possessions.
They have compelled the administration
to use every influence possible to secure
a favorable decision from the supreme
court on the question OF constitutional
supremacy. They have twice ignored his
plainly expressed recommendations on
International commercial reciprocity;
they have blocked the way to the build
ing of an interoceanic canal. notwith-
standing the fact that the people had de-
clared in favor of It. In every manner
Imaginable they have shown that they
regard the executive as subject to the
senate and not as a distinct branch OF
the federal government. This political
trust with it's headquarters in the United
States senate, is growing stronger every
day 1t Is reaching out and drawing
to itself the control of Individual states.
The fine Italian hand Of these political
magnates is seen in every state where
primary election or other political reforms
have been up. 1t is also seen In the tone Of
the press, which is striving to shape pub
lie opinion to suit their ends. So far
as the interests Of the people are con-
cerned, the billion dollar combinatlons~or
capital are harmless doves, compared to
the vast political and commercial trust
which Marcus A. Hanna heads In the
United States senate.

THE GREATEST TRUST OF ALL.

THE GREATEST TRUST OF ALL.
The treaty making power is one Of
the cardinal attributes Of sovereignty
In monarchies that power is vested In
the head of the state. In republics where
the sovereignty. is supposed to be vested
in the people, the power to negotiate
treaties is delegated to the executive Of
fccr with generally, a check provided to
guard against the misuse Of this extraor-
dinary prerogative. In the case of the
United States the constitution confers
upon the senate the power to veto a
treaty which in the opinion of at least
third of its members is inimfcal to
the interests Of the nation. It is a power,
however, that had seldom been used
until the last session of congress when
the senate completely revolutionized preo-
edent, and made itself the prime power
in international negotiations and rele-
gated the executive to the position OF
diplomatic secretary. In the case OF
only one Of the fifteen treaties negotiated
by the executive department and which
were turned down by the senate, did that
body pay the executive branch the cour-
tesy of even discussion. We refer to
the -Pauncefote treaty which was
thrown back into the face of the presi-
dent with amendments which the senate
knew would never be accepted by the
| other contracting party
We are now witnessing the peculiar
spectacle Of the leader of the diploma tic
orchestra, playing second fiddle, while the
bass drum artist Yields the baton. Sec
retary Hay has been going from one
senator to another to ascertain what kind
of treaty with England will suit these
congressional autocrats. So far as he
has gone he has met with the assurance
that no treaty Is wanted; that they pro-
pose to abrogate the Clayton-Bulwer
treaty, and go it alone on this side of
the waters. We presume that Secretary
Hay feels like washing his hands of the
| whole job and leaving this bull in the
ciilii1 Sttop 10 uo Whatever damage he
wishes. After having humbled himself
and trailed the executive department. In
the dust behind the senatorial band
wagon, Mr.. Hay would be justified If he
allows the driver of that vehicle to con-
| tinue straight to political perdidon with
out another warning, or an attempt to
save the occupants. John A. Kasson
after spending three years in negotiating
treaties for the benefit OF the commerce
| of the United States, saw his work
thrown into the senatorial waste basket
In disgust he resigned, but at the per
senal request of the president, retains the
Office. to which now are attached-ne -duties
