DECOMPOSED BODY
 WILL BE EXHUMED
IMPORTANT WITNESS HAS BEEN FOUND WHO SAW WOMAN GO IN EASEMENT WITH WILLIAM BARTHoLIN.

Chicago, August 24.-Whether or not Calvary cemetery as the body of Minnie Mitchell shall develop that the missing girls family was correct in accepting the body as that of their missing daughter. the police have secured ample evidence to indicate that some young woman was lured into the basement of the Bartholin house on the Wednesday night that Will liam Bartholn and his sweetheart van ished from sight.
 An important witness, whose name will not be made public for the present, has been found. He is business man whose home is not far from the Bartholin house.
 According to this witness he alighted from a Forty-third street car shortly af- ter 9 o'clock. an hour after Minnie Mitch ell and her lover bade adieu to the Mitch ell family on the steps of the house at 604 Forty-fourth street. he walked along Cal umet avenue and his walk led him past the Bartholin home. As he went by he noticed a woman apparently quietly standing on the grass plot in front of the building. Looking back he just could dis cern a figure outlined against the stair case leading to the basement which two weeks ago gave up Mrs. Bartholin's body. The man on the steps who Is assumed to have been William Bartholin, said some thing that could not be heard and the girl responded. asking why the first speaker wanted her to go Into the "fllthy' basement. Turning back again. when he had progressed some distance in his walk the pedestrian caught glimpse of the woman descending into the basement.
 The police today found a canvass over shoe, covered with blood in the Bar tholin house. Its size precludes 1t having belonged to Mrs. Bartholin, but it has not been identified as belonging to Minnie Mitchell

Democratic Editors Oppose Hill.

Thomas Taggart, who has under
taken TO organize Indiana for David
B. Hill, has met an unexpected OBJ
Struction in marked opposition by the
members of the Indiana Democratic
Editorial Association, and it is now
certain that forty-four of the demo-
cratic weeklieS aud dailieS in the state
will not only oppose the Hill boom.
but will attempt to counterfeit it by
urging Indiana democrats to take a
stand in favor of Richard Olney. In
a discussion of the subject at the as
sociations meeting at French Lick it
developed that forty-four out of the
fifty-six editors present favor Olney as
against Hill. and steps were taken to
offer direct and vigorous opposition to
any attempt to organize for the New
Yorker. The chief objection offered
to Hill is that he was one of the men
who stood in the way Of tariff reform
legislation while in the senate, and
the belief was expressed that he
would be a weak man on tariff re-
form platform.-GOShen NewS-TimeS.

The Outlook in the Philippines.

The passage o. the Philippine gov
eminent bill is an important event,
and, with the proclamation of peace
and amnesty to be issued on theFourth
of July, will mark the beginning of a
new era for the islands. There is a
considerable proportion of intelligent
men among the Filiinpos, and they
have great influence over the mass of
the people. BY this time they must
all be convinced of the generous inten-
tionS and high purposes of the United
States, and the passage of the civil
government bill and issuing of the
amnesty proclamation will still furth-
er assure them. These events must
also convince them that there is a
bright future ahead for the iSla rdS,
If the Filiplnos want liberty they will
find it in large measure under the
new government provided by the law
just enacted, and the more they show
themselves qualified to benefit by
liberty the more of it they will have.

fslons To Learn Trades.

One of the results of the inveStiga-
tiOn of the contract labor system oper-
ative at Jacksonville and Michigan
City, it is stated, will be the establish
ment, in SO far as the southern prison
is concerned, of trade schools. The
convicts will be instructed in the ele-
mentary branches half the day and in
industrial schools the remainder of the
time, SO that each man on leaving the
institution may have some knowledge
of a trade.
This is the plan enthusiastically adj
vocated by Superintendent Hert of
the Indiana reformatory. 1t has been
tried in Massachusetts and is said to
be successful.
No recommendation has been made
regarding the northern prison, where
the older criminals are confined.

BAILErS ASSAULT ON BEvERIDGE.

Senator Bailey's assault on Senator
Beveridge in the senate chamber Mon
day evening is condemned by papers of
all parties as uncalled for and dis
graceful.
The senator from Indiana had given
him no provocation. He had not
spoken threateningly or abusively. He
had made no reflections on Senator
Bailey or his friends. He had said
simply that Senator Bailey's charges
against an officer of the state depart
ment were unwarranted.
The assault, therefore was mani
festation of rowdyiSm. 1t reSembled
in many ways the recent outbreak of
Tillman and place Bailey in the same
class with Tillman.
Tillman and Bailey do not belong to
the southern school of politics or
southern gentlemen though they are
from the South. They have nothing
in common with Hampton and Cor
don, Morgan and Pettus, Vest and
Cockrell, who came from the heated
controversies of the war period into
the senate, but never once forget the
dignity of the senator.
Only SouthernerS of the Tillman
and Bailey class, have seemed to re-
gard the floor of the senate very much
as they would bar room or saloon.
When it has suited their purposes.
they have played rowdy and treated
senatorial rules and precedents with
contempt.

Reports received today from the
grain states most affected by the
hes y June rains indicate that the
crop situation is not so discouraging as
it has been painted in many quarters.
This was reflected in the grain pits to-

lowing, the excitement of yesterday
seemed to have subsidized and there
was disposition to place much faith
In the restorative effects of warmer
weather, which was reported in some
sections. Ohio, Michigan. Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma and In

generally in favorable condition.

pear to have been the woISt sufferers,
