SULU SLAVERY.

-.
Some of our Republican contem-
poraries attempt to apologize for
the existence of slavary under the
United States flag in the Sulu Is
lands by saying that 1t is not real
slavery, but something else entire
ly different which is miscalIed sla-
very, or that it can not be associ-
ated with the kind Of slavery
which once existed in the South
.ern States. Such explanations,
however, are not borne out by the
report submitted to- Secretary
Root by Col Jasper Morrison of
the Judge advocate generals de-
partment, who visited the Sulu
archipelago for the purpose Of
making an investigation.
Col. Morrison says Sulu sla-
very possesses all the features of
slavery in this country prior to the
Civil War. with the exception
Of a few paris Of the island slaves
are bought and sold, the traffic be-
ing principally in boys and girls,
the average price Of whom is

These slaves were acquired in con-
guest and to satisfy debts. In his
report. Col. Morrison says adult
male slaves are not bought because
they are likely to run away. aor
are adult female slaves desired I'M
less they have children who are
depended upon TO prevent their
escape. These slaves are regard
ed as property and are kept and
cared for as horses and other farm
animals are.

The Schlcy Court of Inquiry.
Daily Picayune.

The appointment of Rear Admi-
raj Howison, a retired officer, in
place of Admiral Kimberly, on the
Schley court of inquiry, has ap-
parently given satisfaction all
around. Admiral Schley himself
has expressed his approval of the
selection. There certainly app
pears to be no ground for fearing
that Admiral Howison favors eth
er side in the controversy, and GER
tainly cannot be considered as par
ticularly friendly towards Admiral
Sampson, since he was subjected
to humiliation by the Navy De-
partment during the naval pageant
in honor of the return Of Admiral
Dewey, by being practically for
ced to yield the command Of the
feet to his junior. Although there
was no outward sign of piqde
shown as a result of the arrange
ment, Admiral Howison would be
more than human not TO have felt
the implied slight. 1t is more
than likely that this experience in
connection with the Dewey recep-
ton will not exert the smallest In
fluence over Admiral Howison's
deliberation in the court of ip9ui-
ry, but the recollection of the facts
should certainly dissipate any fear
that the admiral might lean to-
wards Sampson as against Schley.
The refusal ofthe Navy Depart
ment to amend the precept pre-
pared for the court, SO as to elirni-
nate the charge of disobedience of
orders urged against Admiral Sch
ley, is generally regarded as a
mistake. as the retention of this
language in the precept looks very
much like prejuding the case.

u comfortable support.
Like every other man who reaches
middle life Senator Hill looks for
ward to achieving substantial finan-
cial independence by maintaining his
established and well settled profes-
slonaI practice. He is devoting his
best energies TO that end, and there
fore he is not inclined to respond TO
such calls as have been made by the
Texas legislature and by prominent
Democratic leaders and organizations
in the south and west.
''Those who have intimate personal
relations with Senator Hill greatly
doubt whether he will ever consent to
lead his party again in presidential
campaign. While he is averse to
making public expression of his feel
ing in the matter. his determination is
not a secret. Devoted as he has been
for so many wears TO his party's well
fare his withdrawal from politics is
regarded as impossible. He will con-
tinue to be an influential factor, but
this will not interfere with a convic-
tion he has recently expressed to many
friends that office holding is unsatis-
factory and unavoidable"

Columbus, o., Feb. 1.-The scale
committee of the joint conference of
miners and operators was in session
all Saturday, adjourning late in the
afternoon until D. III. today without
having made any material progress to-
ward an agreement. When the scale
committee met Saturday the miners
presented their demands formulated at
the Indianapolis convention, in writ
ing and the committee at once took
them ND seriatim. They have been
printed in these dispatches in their
material points.
Only the first three demands of the
miners had been considered when the
committee adjourned. The single run
of-mine stand met with the most OBJ
position. It was shown that when
coal was weighed after being screened
there was only about 81 per cent. of
r, slack and nut coal. Under the run
of-mine standard this per centage in
creased TO aboue go per cent.
The proposition for a fixed differen-
tiaI Of cents between machine and
pick mining was discussed at
length, but without agreement. The
third proposition, for a general in
crease in the price of mining of 10
cents per ton, was met by a demand
for a general decrease, and argument

Highest Authority" for Announcing He
Is Not Receptive for 1904.
New York, Feb. 4-The announce
IGent that Senator Hill is not a candi-
date for the presidential nomina ton
of his party in 1904 is made by the
Albany correspondent of Leslie's
Weekly in the current issue. He says:
81 have the highest authority for the
statement that Senator Hill is not a
candidate, in any sense, for the presi-
Dental nomina ton, and that he is not
responsible for the action OF his
friends and will in no way encourage
the continuance of such action. What
ever Senator Hills ambition may
have been in the past he treasures no
presidential ambition now.
HE is engrossed in his law practice.
1t has grown larger and more mcra-
tive each year, and his absorption in
professional duties gives him little
time, and less inclination, to respond
to the growing call for him to actively
assume the party's leadership. This
reluctance on the part of the senator
to re-enter public life is not the result
OF pique or. disappointment. He sim
ply finds greater comfort and enjoy
