THE QUALITY OF THE CAPTITE.

Some of the American sympathlzers with
Aguinaldo already manifest an inclination tow
ard sort of apotheosis of that captured bandit

no act Of cruelty and that history records few
nobler characters than his. 1t may be we'll 10
keep in mind the portraiture of him which he
himself has drawn. His high principle and lack
of cruelty were finely set forth in his instruc
tions TO his troops as follows:
They should not. prior to the attack. look at
the Americans in a threatening manner. one
sentinel. In order 10 deceive the sentinel the
one should dress as a woman The OFF,

be the Sandatahan, who shall huri the LIQUIDS
that shall be passed to them by the women and

Of truth, this was n commander void of
cruelty and guile, whose virtues will stir the
admiration of the world and win Il place for
him even in American hearts. For he himself

RAPID TRANSIT BLOCKED?
COURT DECISION MAY ANNUL M'DONALD
CONTRACT

Albany. March 2S-One hundred million dollars
worth of public contract work in NewYork City
may have he stopped because of a recent de-
csion of the Court of Appeals that the standard
rate OF wages law applied 20 public contracts is
unconstitutional II this decision is to hold good
all OF the contracts and agreements entered into
by Contractor Mcdonald for the construction Of
New-York's rapid transit system may have 10 be
annulled Controller Coler il is said, has the power
to abrogate all such contracts. and may be called
upon by labor leaders taxpayers to do so.
The tenor OF the opinion of the Court OF Appeals
on the rate of wages question was that it was un-
constitutional to compel taxpayers 10 pay move
for public work than they could get It done for
private contract. This being the case. the estt-
ma .as made by Contractor Mcdonald for rapid
transit work-whch were based upon the so-called
prevailing rate of wages law-were much higher
than the Court of Appeals holds that they should
have been. In other words Contractor Mcdonald,
if he abides by the decision of the Court of
Appeals has a right hire the cheapest labor he
can possibly obtain. This would make him several
million dollars richer than he estimated for. and
him to estimate in accordance with the lowest
s,n Tate for o pr3s %%T sun nave TO pay
Legislation 10 get over this dilemma will be in
with Contractor Mcdonald have been examined
Donald consent to an adjustment not to make
any more out of the contracts than he figured for:
Appeals may render the contracts acts invalid If the the
will cause legislation that will permit him to
abrogate the contracts with Mcdonald the pre-
vailing rate of wages basis and arrange for
according to the market rate of wages.
L. Latin Kellogg. counsel for many of the con-
tractors who have successfully fought the labor
laws. asked yesterday about the probability
of the tunnel contract being invalid. He said:
In my Judgment the decision of the Court of Ap
peals. holding that the prevailing rate Of wages
law Is unconstitutional cannot possibly affect the
rapid transit contract any other contracts that
have been executed. the only effect upon them
being to make null and void those provisions
lating the labor law and the stone law.
These laws having been declared titutional,
the contractor is not bound 10 observe them. The
city cannot force their observance, the sub-con-
tractors not bound To observe them and the
general contractor cannot enforce them against the
sub-contractors The existence of these provisions
has effect upon the validity OF the contract.
The contract is as If it had been originally made
without containing the provisions regard TO the
labor law and the cut stone law.
When President Orr of the Rapid Transit Com
mission asked yesterday about the validity of
the tunnel contract. in view of the Court
Appeals decision, he said:
THAT is matter that has formally come
up for discussion by the board"
