Politics and the election of the presi-

The close was very strong, with May

its own strength. In the main the pit
seemed working to sell at good advan-
tage. The principal bull incentives were
very strong cables, the scarcity of coun-
try offerings and small local receipts
Trade early was not very large, especial

business. AS the day advanced, however,
commission houses began putting more
buying orders in the pit and the market
grew larger. Hay opened 14G3sc to 12@5sc

Political papers do more harm than
anarchists" asserted Hal Smith, pastor
of the Cumberland Presbyterian church.
I once preached a sermon against the
prevailing idea of cartooning. 1 believe
that anyone who prints cartoon of our
great president should be thrust into
prison until he repents."
Il fear we greatly exaggerate the in
huence of the press on anarchism," said
Rev. A Wyman of the Unitarian
church. I'VE should not be too hasty
but look on both sides of this question.
An anarchist in doing the things be-
heves he is doing something for hui
manity. We know it is a misguided be-
lief although he doesn't and 1 think
everything should be done to overcome
it. / think the anarchist more the
result of environment ra Their than the
result of reading so-called Yellow jour
nails
Il fear that there is no practical way
to prevent newspapers from printing
cartoons and from conducting the col
umns of the paper in any manner that
it pleaSeS the editor so long as they
remain within the bounds already set"
Il have no faith in recourse to law
to prevent newspapers from continuing
even in the methods now being used"
said P. w. Crannell, pastor of the FIRST
Baptist church. TT isn't practical. If
there should be a change [ wonder
who is to say where the line should be
drawn that divides what may and what
may not be printed. 1t seems that it

WILL MAKE FEW CHANGES.
There Will Be No Upheaval In the
Treasury Department.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Governor Shaw,
of Iowa, leaves today for home, to Ie-
main there until after his successor has
been inaugurated, when he will return
and take charge of the treasury depart
ment. The governor says it has not
been fully determined whether Mrs.
Shaw will accompany him to Washing
ton or whether she will visit Mexico this
winter. This latter trip she has had
under contemplation. Governor Shaw,
when his attention was called to rum0rs
of changes in the treasury department,
said:
to return until the oath or 25th. I'd like
to say, to put at rest all stories of pro-
Spective upheavals in the department.

in the harness, and unless something
happens to change my plans, the cid

A RIGOROUS WARFARE
Is Being Prosecuted in Interest
of Peace in Philippines.

Manila, Jan. General J. Franklin
Bell is conducting a vigorous campaign
in Batangas province. Every available
soldier is in the field. The columns I'M
der the command of Colonel Whit and
Colonel Dougherty are driving the Fill
pinos in all directions. A number of the
latter are fleeing to Tayabas province,
where the native constabulary are cap
turing men and rifles.
The advocates of peace at Manila
deprecate the stern measures employed
by General Bell. In reply General Bell
says these peace advocates have had
numerous opportunities to use their in
fiuence, they have been given passes
through the American lines almost for
the asking, and that it has been after
ward proved that they often went
through the lines for the purpose of as
siSting the insurrection. General Bell
says that the best peace method now is
a rigorous warfare until the insured
ton is completely subdued.
The arrest of members of the wealthy
Lopez family and the confiscation of
their steamers and rice, as well as the
arrest of three members of the religious
corporations, who were known to be in
stigators of the insurrection, has had
an excellent effect upon the natives.
Conditions in the island of Samar are
still unsatisfactory, owing to the diff
Guilty of finding the insurgents. Captain
SchoeffeI of the Ninth infantry who
last month at Dapdap, Samar island,
between Is men of company E of his
regiment and a large force of bolOmen,
has recovered practically from the eff
fects of the wound. In an official re-
port of the encounter in which Captain
SchoeffeI was wounded, it is said that
Schoeffel killed three men before he
received a wound. and that the rem
nantS of the detachment of IS men were
saved by his personal courage and dar-
ing. The civil authorities say the ISL
and of Leyte is now peaceful. On the
other hand the military authorities con-
slider Leyte to be dangerous on account
of its proximity to Samar, if for
other reason. Last Friday Major AL
bert L. Meyer of the Eleventh infantry
captured an extensive arsenal and plant
on the northwest coast of Leyte. Major
Meyer also captured another powder
factory, large quantities of ammunition,
four cannon and several rifles.
= Major Henry T. Allen, ex-governor
of the island of Leyte, now on tour
of inspection through that island and
Mindoro, reported yesterday that the
majority of the signal corps wires on
Leyte had been cut, and that this ac-
ton was evidently preconcerted. Cap
tain Pitcher reports that he is rapidly

The constabulary of Tarlac, Luzon.
have captured a number of members of
a Filipino secret society called the

ed to be free of American interference,
temporarily at least. Twenty members
of the Guard of Honor are charged with

Evangelist Hill is a unique character.
His conversation betrays lack of educa-

forcible kind that appeals to some people.
He declares that the power of God is
responsible for the delirium INDUCED in
by some of his converts and that personal
magnetism or hypnotism has not part in
the transa ction.
His conversions are similar to many
which occur in the south, where the good
work of camp meeting is judged by the
number of 'shouters' and ''keel-overS" to
its credit. or discredit. according to the
views of the party discussing the affair.
Hence Rev. Mr.. Hill's method may be

their approval.
There is talk that Rev Mr.. Hill may
hold meetings in the Auditorium.

Undaunted by his final election from

Evangelist J. F. c. Hill, the holiness
dispenser, and alleged hypnotist, con-
tfnues to get in his work on a small
scale For the past week he has been

Stoneberg, situated near the corner OF
St John and Tyler streets. These meet
ings were discontinued Sunday, the host
announced, because the house had been
sold and they were to move out

youth He volunteered lot of valuable
information about the millennium
dawn" creeds, which he branded as
false and deceptive, and gave an opin-
ion that the second coming would be
an event of passing interest. He found
fault with the system used by other
churches, and declared them to be a de-
ception and a snare. He gave vent to
a belief that the true religion l. e. the
Revised Holiness" would triumph over
perdition. He passed rapidly over marty
subjects which were evidently of inter-
est to his flock. judging from the fusil-
lade of fervent "amens'' and other ex-
CARNATIONS.
When Mr.. Hill finally concluded
season of supplication was in order and
the devout ones did justice to the oc-
casion- After an hour of this came the
testimony of the witnesses.
Brother Stoneberg, who ives shy
tooth, was the first to testify and he
easily led all the others in gestures and
vocal strength. Sister, assel it seems,
has long been cripple, and although she
was unsteady on her feet. she owed her
partial cure to the power of God which
had visited her in the past few days. She
testified that while leaving her buggy she
had caught her foot in stray wire and
fallen, and that the said wire had been
placed there by his satanic majesty. who
thought to make her believe that her cure
was deluSiOn- Brother TasSel came to
