back was a false report concerning the health

was said to have come from insiders. The up

THE CONTINENT AND AMERICA
ADMIRAL CANEvARO's REMARKS AT TOU
LON EXCITE COMMENT

London, April 19-"The Spectator tomorrow
will discuss THE Continent and America" taxi
ing as a text portion of an interview with Ad-
nlral Count Canevaro at Toulon, which The
Spectator" believes has not attracted the atten-
ton it deserves Admiral Canevaro, in con-
Guiding his utterances regarding the Triple and
Dual alliances having given Europe thirty years
of peace said:
This fact would perhaps, lead European ma
tons to consider the possibility and necessity of
uniting against America, Africa and Asia. as
the future of civilization will require them to
do so.
The Spectator does not consider this the
rash outburst of the man in the street. for
Admiral Carevaro has been Italian Minister of
Foreign Affairs. The paper says:
His utterance corresponds exactly with that of
Count Goluchowski (Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister). and with all the recent trend of af
fairs. The annoyance of the Continent with
America, which is very deep, is based upon three
reasons. the first being the dread, rather the
conviction. that competition with America is
nearly impossible. her wealth and energy be-
ing too great. Both are employed. the Continent
thinks, to monopoliZe trade. and TO control in
the end all the wealth of the world-an idea not
without advocates even among ourselves.
THE Spectator" mentions the giant trusts and
protection, and refers to the Americans as mot
scrupling to commence a quick and severe re-
prisal If European governments fence them off
with tariffs"
The second reason" the article will say lis
that America is sadly in the way in Asia. The
whole action of the Washington Government in
the Chinese muddle points to the conclusion
that. although the Americans took the Philip
pines. they are not willing TO see any but native
powers in control Of the richest countries of
Asia.
THE third reason is Americas attitude in
South America. She will neither take it nor
let anybody else
The total result is a bitter dislike of Amer
ica, mixed with dread Our object is only to
awaken the Americans from an Illusion to in
duce them to increase their fleet and to per-
suade them to think steadily out what they are
doing They may rely upon it that the Cont
nent will lose nothing by want of planning and
that when the alliance against America of which
Admiral Canevaro talks is transmitted into facts
1t will be full grown and full armed"

THE ADMINISTRATION GRATIFIED.
GOOD EFFECTS FROM AGUINALDO's MANI.
FESTO EXPECTED IN THE PHILIP
PINES AND AT HOME

Washington. April 19.-It is believed by the
administration that the manifesto OF Aguinaldo
Will have decidedly good effect both in the
Philippines and in this country. II will take
some time for it TO be disseminated among the
Filpinos. but it is expected 10 be OF cOnsidera-
ble service. and to make more rapid the i'm
provement in the situation which began some
time ago and has become marked OF late. Es-
pecial qualification Is felt at the unreserved tone
of the document and the full acceptance IT in
dicates of American rule.
This. il is felt. will bring to the support OF the
government many Fi1ipinos who while wishing
for peace. have hesitated to assist the Taft
Commission. In this country it is expected TO
reduce the criticism of the administration and
10 cause less discussion of the general policy
of the in the islands and more considera-
ton of the important matter of the best admin
istration TO be evolved for their government It
is TO this worl, that the Taft Commission is now
bending all its energies.
Aguinaldo, now that he has accepted Amerf-
sovereignty. probably will have more lib
erty than he has enjoyed hitherto. His SER
vices will be used far possible in the paci-
fication OF the islands. The extent. however, 10
which he will be permitted TO have freedom is
for General Macarthur to determine with tha
assistance Of the Taft Commission.

BAR APPEALS TO GOVERNOR.
HIS INFLUENCE ASKED TO DEFEAT THE
REFEREES BILL-AN ENDMENTS
PREPARED.

Charles Bukeley Hubbell secretary of the
law committee of the Bar association. will
appeal to Governor Odell on behalf of the asso-
citation to prevent the passage by the Assembly
of Senator Ellsworths bill providing for the
appointment of twenty referees for the First
Judicial District by the Justices of the Appellate
Division of the First Department. If the bill
should be passed by the Assembly Mr.. Hubbell
will ask the Governor to veto it.
The law committee of the Bar Association
has already prepared a list of amendments to
the bill which in its opinion would relieve it of
the charge of unconstitutionality and take out
the other Objectionable features. Copies of the
list Of amendments sent some time ago
to the Law and the Cities committees of both
the Senate and the Assembly, and also to Gov
ernor Odell and Lieutenant-Gov Wood
ruff AS the Senate has passed the bill regard
less of the many objections made TO it, the Bar
Association intends appeal directly to
the Governor.
Governor Odell has already received from five
of the Justices of the Appellate Division of the
Supreme Court petition protesting against the
enactment of the bill into law. The petition
signed by Justices Van Brunt Patterson,
O'Brien. Rumsey and Mclaughlin Justices
Hatch and Ingraham did not sign the petition.
Justice Van Brunt has further put himself on
record in a speech made at the dinner of the
dwight Alumni ASSOCIATION IN NnlCn ne NigoT-
ously denounced the bill
prominent member OF the Bar Association
nuch inystifed yesterday morning by
ceiving letter written in Albany the night be-
fore by Republican member OF the Senate in
which he told that the bill would surely
fail. When he picked up his paper one of the
first articles he read told of the passing OF the
bill by the Senate the day before. lie also saw
that his correspondent was one Of those who
voted against the bill
The amendments suggested by the law COM
mittee Of the Bar Association are that the num-
Der Of referees be made fifty instead of twenty
proposed by the bill: that the trial judge
shall have the right TO select any OF the
fifty he may desire, and that it shall be manda-
tory upon him to select the whose appoint
ment the parties interested have by consent
chosen; and wiping out altogether the provision
for the appointment of twenty for the City
Court.
William V. Rowe. Of No. 1873 East Thirty
eighth-st., member of the law committee who
has been particularly active in the effort OF the
committee to kill the measure, said last night in
regard to the proposed amendments:
While the whole scheme is Objectionable, II
is felt that If the bill were likely to become
law It would be robbed of its most objectionable
features by the adoption of the suggested
amendments

FOUND HANGING IN A CELLAR.
A BOY THIRTEEN YEARS OLD COMMITS
SUICIDE IN BROOKLYN

Louis Yates, thirteen years old of No 45S
Warren-st. Brooklyn, who was told to stay at
home and mind the baby by his stepbrother last
Wednesday afternoon, when he wanted to go to
the theatre, went down into the cellar and
hanged himself to a rafter His body was not
found until yesterday afternoon. when carpen-
ter went into unexplored part of the cellar
TO make some repairs.
Louis, according to his mother, Mrs. George
Artese. had always been wayward boy. His
father was sailor and Louis had an insane de-
sire to be near the water and upon boats At
times he would be away from home for week
along the river front. Some time ago the boys
mother secured divorce from her husband
and married George Artese. Mr.. Yates went to
end his days in a soldiers home. where he died
last January
Louis had not lived happy life since his
mothers second marriage and felt that his only
friend had gone when his father died. Two
months ago a stepbrother came, and since then
Louis troubles had bubbled over. On Wednesday
ne mad secured some theatre tickets and was
planning merry afternoon, when the same old
order to mind the baby came The boy re-
belled but Mrs. Artese said she had to go out
to do some shopping and Louis must stay in.
BY way OF making his yoke of servitude more
calling, Mrs. Artese then ordered Louis to go
down into the cellar and get a scuttle of coal
The boy started down the five long flights, NUT
tering to himself. He did not come back. Mrs.
Artese waited and called in vain. Then she
came to the conclusion that Louis had skipped
out.
When he did not return at night Mrs. Artese
was sure the boy had gone off on another of his
expeditions, and did not worry.
Mrs. Artese and other tenants have been in
the cellar for their regular supply of coal since
Wednesday. but did not discover the tragedy
there. 1t only when David Curry. car
penter, went into the further corner yesterday
afternoon that the body of young Yates was
discovered The boy had taken new clothes
line, tied end TO a ring in the floor, thrown
the other end over beam, and knotted 1t about
vi
and the boy had fallen to fis knees and slowly
etrangled to death,
