LADIES GO FROG HUNTING.
A Favorite Amusement Of French Women
At AMI inOple.

~ tihDplc'
One Of the favorite amusements Of
French ladies at Constantinople is frog
hrnting. A large party is organized.
the ladies all appear in dainty Partisan
toilettes. with very high heels to their
boots, and each carries a long bamboo
rod. The gentlemen are got up in
proper costumes for "la chase and
bear sticks. Then they all adjourn to
some marshy spot where frogs abound.
and begin fishing. The bait is a piece
of raw meat tied to a string at the
end of the bamboo. The ladies do the
fishing. and as one feels hat a frog
has swallowed the bait she gives a
violent jerk to the rod, which brings
the frog out onto the land. The at
tendant sportsmen then fall upon the
.ferocious animal and slay it with their
sticks. The ladies' sometimes also join
IN the last fatal act, but the men al
ways try to dissuade them. as in their
excitement they frequently mistake
a mans head or foot for the frog and
the sport becomes too dangerous

stltuents, the people of Michigan"
taking this to be the position of the
people OF that state, he exclaimed,
May God have mercy on their pusil-
luminous sous!"
Get rid of Islands, said Money.
Mr.. Money of Mississippi replied to
some points in the speech made by Mr.
Mitchell few days ago.
Inc important question was not what
should be done for the Filipinos, said
Mr. Money, but what should be done
Tor our own people. Our position is,
ne argued, liable to bring on war with
other nations at any time, when the
$l,00O'O 900 per week expenditure of the
present time would be vastly increased.
We should get rid of the islands in
our own interest, Mr.. Money contin-
ued, and especially for the purpose of
eradlcating from our country the prac-
uce ON the part of Congress of con-
telring autocratfc powers on the exec
utive
I'VE will find before we terminate
TINS experiment" he said, that the
saddest day OF our history Is the day
that we signed the Spanish treaty"
Replying to MIR. Tillman, Mr. For
alSer said that the people of Louisiana
had not been allowed to eject gov
ernor or judiciary of chat territory and
that the government established in the
Philippines is far more liberal than
the government established in Louis
lana by Jefferson and the Democratic
Congress of that day.
Foraker lis Corrected.
Interrupting, Mr.. TilEman said the
President appoints the governors OF
all territories, and admitting this, Mr.
Foraker said that no more authority is
requested now in the case of the Phil
ippines. This statement led Mr.. Till
nHan to say that Congress had grant
ed no authority for such appointment.
THE Governor of the Philippines is
the Governor by appointment said
Mr. Foraker in reply, land he is az
much Governor as Mr.. Claiborne was
Governor of Louisiana under Jeffer-
sons appointment"
Senators Tillrnan and Money called
attention to the fact that Claiborne S
nomination had been confirmed by the
Senate, while no such confirmation had
taken place in the case Of Gov. Taft
Proceeding, Mr.. Foraker said that
neither in the case OF Louisiana nor the
Philippines had the people been bought
when the territory became part of the
United States, and there is, he con-
tended, no more attempt to govern the
people of the Philippines without their
consent than there was in the case of
the people of Louisiana.
Senators T1llman and Carmack made
the point that an early promise of
statehood had been made in the case
of louisiana
The Senate then adjourned.

THE ANTl-STRIKE COMMITTEE
senator Hanna Presided and "a Plan
for "a Cancellation Committee Pre-
sentcd.

New York, Feb. 19.-The first meet
ing of the executive committee of thir-
ty-six appointed through the National
Civic Federation to arbitrate labor
troubles, was held here to-day with
Senator Hanna in the chair. The OBJ
ject Of the gathering was to receive a
report on working plan by means of
which strikes, lockouts and other forms
of disputes between capitalists and the
laboring class may be settled This
plan was presented by a sub-commit-
tee in the form of a set of bylaws,
which provide that the chairman of the
executive committee of the federation
shall appoint a committee on concilia-
tion to consist of nine mem
bers, whose duty 1t shall be at the
request of the chairman upon informa-
ton of threatened strike or lockout of
more than local magnitude. to use its
good o1sces in restoring harmonious
relations, reporting its action to the
executive committee. Should the eff
forts of the concilation committee
prove ineffective, and should both par
ties to the dispute desire the service
of the executive committee. it is di-
rected that they may be invited to
select two employers and two wage
earners from the executive committee
to serve as an arbitration board.
At the close Of the meeting Senator
Hanna said:
The meeting was very satisfactory.
thirty out of the thirty-six members
were present and the spirit displayed
was splendid We feel delighted with
the results of our efforts toward har-
mony between capital and labor"

GOV. TAFT STILL TALKING.
Says Health of Troops in Philip
pines About as Good as Would BE
in Southern States.

Washington, Feb. 19.-Among other
questions pertaining to the Philippines
discussed by Gov. Taft to-day in his
testimony before the Senate Commit
tee on the Philippines was the attitude
of the different religious sects toward
one another. He said that generally
the relationship is friendly and that
the evangelical churches are seeking
to secure a foothold in the islands.
In repy to questions, he said from
25 to 30 persons had been deported
from the Philippines, and that they
were all sent to Guam by the military
authorities because they are consid-
cred errecbncilables. whose presence
was injurious. He said in repy to Sem
ator Allison, that so far as the Philip
pine advocates of independence had
expressed themselves, all of them de-
sired that the United States should
continue its sovereignty of the islands;
in other words, they wanted indepen-
dence with a United States protecto-
rate.
The witness was asked a great num-
Der of questions about the Malolos con-
stitution. He said that the convention
which adopted it had been made up
largely of residents of Manila, although
designated by Aguinaldo to represent
the various provinces. Comparatively
few of the Filipinos, he said, are ia
miliar with the constitution of the
United States and he did not believe
that Aguinaldo is among those who
have this familiarity.
Are the newspapers at liberty to
advocate the independence of the ISL
5nds?" asked Senator Culberson.
They are under the restrictions i'm
posed by the statutes which we dis
cussed yesterday just as others are,"
the witness responded.
Therefore they are prohibited from
such a course? ?"
That is the effect of the statute
While the war continues"
Referring to the climatic and health
conditions of the islands, Gov Taft
said the health of the troops there
when engaged in campaigning was
about as good, as it would be in South
ern states. The climate is not severe.

A CHRISTIAN BURIED ALIVE.
Horrible Death of Pulaski Boy who
Denounced the Mummeries of His


Tribe.
Minneapolis, Feb. ia Times spe-
cial from Seattle, Wash, says:
The steamer Dirigo, which arrived
from Alaska yesterday, brings news
that Chilkoot Indians, near Hins Mis-
sion, Alaska, on Feb. S, buried alive
one of their tribe a boy Is years old.
The boy had been converted to Chris
tianity by Methodist missionary
and in a burst of religious zeal de-
nounced the mummeries of the tribal
medicine men. This act aroused the
anger and superstitions of the men
of the tribe.
Recently fourteen native residents
of the village of Kluckwan died of
consumption and this spread the be-
lief that the boy, in league with the
evil one, through his knowledge of the
white mans religion, caused the
deaths.
The disappearance of the boy from
school aroused the suspicious of Mr.
Sellon and he started in search. AT
the outskirts of the village he found
tracks leading to a fresh grave. Dig
ging down he found the boy still alive
his bloodshot eyes rolling in insane
agony; his hair torn in handfuls from
his head. His finger nails were torn
off in his efforts to escape from his
horrible prison. The boy was lifted
from the grave and carried to the viii
lage, where he lived several hours,
bowling and crying like a maniac and
then dying from the effects of suffer-
ing and fright. The man who is re-
sponsible for the crime is Skun Doc
an old offender, who spent term in
San Quentien penitentiary for causing
an old woman to be starved to death
in 1894.

MORE GOLD AND COPPER FOUND.
Reported Rich Discoveries of Both
Metals in Africa.

London, Feb. 19.-Reports from two
experts have been received in London
from different parts of Africa which,
if borne out later by developments, are
likely to have an important influence
on the worlds gold and copper supply.
One of the reports comes from Assinie,
on the French ivory coast, and says
that reef of quartz gold, eight feet
wide and panning, from two to eight
ounces, has been opened up on the
ivory coast.
From North Rhodesia, the British
Chartered South Africa Company has
received news of the discovery of a
copper field, estimated at forty square
miles. The field in situated $50 miles
north of Victoria Falls and runs thence
to the Congo Free State. In the an
cient mines dug by the natives and re-
opened by engineers in the employ of
the chartered company, copper assay
ing Al per cent. is now being secured,
besides a large percentage of silver.
SO much Importance does the Charter
ed Company attach to this discovery
that the Cape to Cairo railroad will
be diverted in order to pass through
the copper field. Work on this section
of the road has been ordered accelera-
ted, and it is expected that IL will be
completed early in 1904.

VALET JONES' TESTIMONY.
lie swears That the 1900 VIII Was
Drawn by Patrick and That Rice
Never Signed Ii.

New York, Feb 19.-Charles f..
Jones was the star witness in the Pat
rick trial again to-day. The fact that
he was the closest person to Million
aire Rice in the latter days of his life,
and that at one time he confessed that
it was he who killed the millionaire by
administering chloroform at, as he
said, the instigation of Patrick, drew
all eyes in the crowded courtroom to
him. He was ON the stand from the
opening to the closing of court and
has not yet finished his testimony.
There was mass of evidence con-
cerning Patricks alleged drawing OF
Jones into d conspiracy to utter a
forged viii by which Patrick was to
be the principal beneficiary; OF
Jones fears of discovery;
of Patriclx's alleged assurance
that the tracks of the two would be
we'll covered; of the doctoring of Mr..
Rices letter book and many other de-
tails. During it all Attorney Patrick
listened to the witness story to the
jury with what seemed the utmost un-
concern.
1t was late in the afternoon when
Jones touched on what the state
seemed to think very important evil
dence. 1t was when Jones was shown
the VIII of 1900-the So-called Patrick
will. He had previously testified that
Morris Meyer and David i. Short had
been introduced into the Rice house to
make out certain papers, Short acting
as notary for Mr. Rice. Jones now swore
that Patrick told. him that Meyer had
typewritten this will and that when he
(Jones) first saw it, the will was un-
signed. Then he swore that the only
law business Patrick ever did for Rice
was to pass on the correctness of some
document of Mr.. Rice's, and this was
at zones request. He Swore that to his
knowledge Mr.. Rice had never signed
the 1900 will, and he was certain that he
did not sign it June 80, 1900. He had
seen this will in Pa.trick's Office two
weeks before Mr. Rice died, and it was
unsigned then. Mr.. Rice died Sept. %,
1900
On the point of Patrick's alleged
preparation to remove any obstacle to
the probate of the will, Jones said that
Patrick explained that the legacies un-
der the will were designed to remove
the possibilities of such opposition and
that Patrick had gone over each para
graph of it with the witness.

TO TEST NORTHERN MERGER.
Attorney General Knox VIII Make
the Case at Instance of the Presi-

dent.
Washington, Feb. 19.-Within a very
short time a bill will be filed by the
the merger of the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern Railway systems
through the instrumentality of the
Northern Securities Company In
speaking of the matter o-day Attor-
ney General Knox said:
Some time ago the President re-
quested an opinion as to the legality
of this merger, and L have recently
given him one to the effect that in my
judgment it violates the provisions of
the Sherman act of 1890; whereupon he
directed that suitable action should be
taken to have the question judicially
determined. A bill in equity is now
in course of preparation, which will be
filed within very short time. which
will ask that the merger effected
through the exchange of shares of the
Northern Securities Company for
shares of the two railroad companies
be dissolved and such shares ordered
re- exchanged to restore the stocks of
the two railroad companies to their
original holders. The two railroad COM
panies, the Northern Securities Com
pany, j. Pierpont Morgan and James
j. Hill, and their associates, stock
holders in the two companies, will be
the defendants in the bill The district
in which the proceedings Will be insti-
tuted has not yet been determined.
Most likely it will be in Minnesota"
