AND NOW HE IS
SPENDING HIS MONEY.
LumbeIack Is Doing His Best to
Make Other People
Rich.

Grand Marais, Mich, April 1J.-The
annual exodus of men from the multi
tudinous lumber camps about Grand
Marais has begun, with the result that
at all hours of the day and night the
husky disciple of AK and Mackinaw
Jacket may be seen blowing in his
seasons wages. OF course, this is not
the case with all the men who put in
the winters in the woods. Many of
them are as prudent as they are hard
working, and as soon as the camps
break up go at once to their homes
with their seasons wages intact, and,
after resting up, seek summer voca-
tionS in town or return to camp for
the summer. But the prudent ones
are i'll the minority.
After putting in several months in
the wilderness at hard work, with no
opportunity of seeing any one OF any
thing except the few men in camp,
it is not surprising that when their
labor is completed and they find them
selves in town feeling of relaxation
and longing to celebrate" comes on.
and, finding themselves surrounded by
the same class of men as themselves.
they yield, and, as they say, go in for
a good time after which they return
TO camp and remain long enough TO ac-
cumulate another stake. which signi-
fies another good time, and so on the
year 'round-such is the life of the
proverbal lumberjack.

KANSAS LYNCHERS

Father of the Negro Burned at the
Stake Wants the Mob
Punished.

Leavenworth, Kan, April 10
Alfred Alexander father of Frederick
Alexander, the negro who was burned
at the stake for the alleged assault
and murder of Miss Carrie Forbes, and
for the assault on Miss Roth, has
filed information with the county at
torney against number of those par
ticipating in the burning, and asks for
a warrant for their arrest upon the
charge of murder.
Both the county attorney and Alex
ander refuse to give the names of the
witnesses or the nature of the testi-
mony. The news of the investigation
and prospective issuing of a warrant
is causing great excitement in the
city. especially among those who were
clamorous for the punishment of Alex
ander Alexander will ask for war
rants for William Forbes, whom he
accuses of setting fire to his son, one
of the city officials and a policeman,
who he charges with assisting in pill
ing the fuel around the stake and
aiding in the burning.

SEES A GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY.
Resident of Hong Kong Has a Plan TO
Build Up China.

New York, April 1J.-H. T. Bosnian,
of Hong Kong, accompanied by his
wife and servants, is in the city. At
home Bosnian is better known as Ho
Tung. and he is one of the leading
merchants of his native city as well
as one of Ats most extensive proper
ty owners. Bosnian, though an
Oriental, is a British subject and a
justice of the peace in his majesty's
service. He is deeply interested in the
trend of events politically in the far
east. To a reporter in an interview
he said:
Il believe that this is the golden
opportunity for the introduction of
western ideas into the Middle King
dom, and that the apparent disagree
ment of the powers upon the amount
of indemnity to he paid for the Box
err disturbances should lead to some
sort of compromise having for its OBJ
ject tie development of undeveloped
Asia, rather than the levying of
mere monetary fine which could be
raised by additional taxation, and in
the end perhaps leave the real situa
tion of the country unchanged.
Il have a plan in my own mind
which / thing is worthy of the atten-
tion of the diplomats. because l be-
lieve it would be civilizing influence.
1t is this: Let the powers agree upon
the amount of indemnity to be paid
and then contract among themselves
and with the Peking government that
the entire sum-say 5000. .000, ,000-shall
be used for building railroads and for
other internal improvements in China
under the joint control of the powers.
TO I've operated by them until the full
amount of the investment is returned
and until China is in position to be-
come by purchase the sole owner of
the improvements.
Railroads will do more to enlarge
the perspective of the Chinese than
any other one agency: They Will
cause the people of the interior to
travel and to acquire that breadth of
view which comes from contact with
the world. Now, China is in great
need of railroads, while the rest of the
world is clamoring for broader trade
facilities. The situation seems to have
been created for reciprocal negotia-
tions along a certain line

Examiner Fish, during an examination

Confidenee in McKinIey's PolIcy.s
STRONG ANNEXATION FEELING.
Congressman Inclined to just Scoop Cuba
and End the Trouble.

ana Ems the IrOuDtes
Chicago, April 15.-The Tribune's
Washington special says relative to
Cuba: There is no Disgusting the
fact that there is a strong annexation
sentiment here in Washington, par
ticularly among members of congress.
They feel that the Teller resolution
was a great mistake, but nevertheless
they proposed to make the best of bad
bargain, and demonstrated to the
world that the United States respects
its pledges, even when hastily given.
This annexation sentiment in congress
is too strong to be overlooked, and
those who believe in taking Cuba have
expressed openly the hope that the Gu
bans would refuse to accept the Platt
amendment, whereupon congress would
consider it had fulfilled the spirit of
the Teller resolution. and annexation
would follow naturally and as a mat
tel of course.
There is not the slightest DISPOSE
tion on the part of the president to
vary from the spirit of the conditions
fixed by congress. They are as much
a part of the law of the land now as
the paragraph fixing the salary of the
president of the United States. He
could double his own income just
about as easily as he could vary the
terms imposed on the Cubans by con-
gress. So far as congress itself is con-
cerned, it can alter or amend these
conditions, with the consent of the
president, but, on account of the an
neXation sentiment, it is not likely to
do anything of the kind. Rejection
of the Plat amendment by the Cuban
convention viii almost certainly he
followed by joint resolution proviGl
ing for the annexation of Cuba as a
territory of the United States
The proposition to send a commits
SIGN TO the United States is not n dis
agreeable one TO the administration
The president. as is we'll known, has
not the slightest idea of negotiating
with the Cubans on the basis of any
modification of the terms imposed by
congress. 1t was to meet this stu
alton that the President refused to
shoulder the responsibility. but de-
clared that he would call an extra ses-
sion unless congress first defined the
exact basis upon which he could with
draw his authority from Cuba.
The Cuban commission, if it comes
to Washington, Will find that Presi-
dent Mckinley. powerful though he
may be. has no discretion regarding
the treatment Of Cuba. That was
fixed by congress. and until it is
amended or repealed the statute is as
binding as one prohibiting counter
feiting or other crimes. What is
known as the Platt amendment en-
bodies the views of President McKin-
ley. Secretary Root. Secretary Hay,
