 4 matter Of complaint by the dele gates to Secretary Hay was the ship ment of horses. mules and provisions from the United States for the British forces in South Africa. Secretary Hay went ever this subject very carefully with them citing authorities, and prec- edents which he pointed out conclu- sively established a lack of authority on the part of the general government to stop the American farmer from shipping his provisions. and the stock raiser from selling his products any where in the world where they would get the best price. He also pointed out that the governments attitude in this as in other matters connected with tn South African war. had been strictly neutral. and that the government hat done nothing to prevent shipments O commodities to the Boer forces.

AN EXHIBITION
 BY BURGLARS
They Show Timorous Citizens How to
 Slowly Break Bank.

Washington, March 5.-While two citizens were watching them, burglars footed the First National bank a. Montgomery, seven miles east of here, carly this morning and escaped with s3,5OO in money and s3,6OO worth Of gov ernment bonds.
 Five explosions of nitro glycerine were required to blow the safe. and and many people were awakened by the concussion. William Klusmeir and Charles Encoff, the latter a former policeman, reside opposite the bank. and both watched the burglars work, but gave no alarm for fear of being shot down by two of the era cksmen. who were patrolling the streets with revolvers in their hands,
 The fifth explosion tore the doors from the safe and the men quickly gathered up the money and bonds and ran to the Baltimore & Ohio South western railroad, where they boarded 6 handcar, abandoning 1t a mile west of town. After that no trace of them could be found:
 The stolen bonds are of the coupon variety, payable to the bearer. and can easily be cashed by the robbers. The bank is protected by a $, 900 burg lar insurance.

 The discussion of the land leasing till had been made a special order for today. It was opened by paper by Frank Benton of Wyoming. He was followed by Colonel John r. Irish of California. and C. F..

SLAVERY IN THE
 PHILIPPINES
Governor Taft Continues His Talk to
 the Committee.

Washington, March J.-Governor Taft was questioned today by members of the house committee on the condition of the slaves in the Philippines. The commission had undertaken no legisla- tion as to slavery, and the action taken by the military had been first to re- lease the Christian slaves. and second. to prevent slave raiding parties from capturing slaves. Besides this, con- stant moral influence was being eXer- cised for the eradication of the system.
 Representative Patterson of Tennes- see asked if dato could enforce the death penalty against slaves. and Gov ernC: Taft answered that the dato's authority extended to the death pen alty after trial. He spoke compara- lively of the low state of the Moros. who comprise the slave holding class and said that troops would always bn needed in Moro localities: not neces- sarily military government. but q civil government with q military force behind it. The Moros were, he said, warlike. but not formidable. The gov ernor said polygamy was confined 10 the datos and head men.
 Representative Williams of Illinois asked if any sultans or datos were car ried on the American pay roll Gov crnor Taft said he believed that Dato Mandi was. as the commission rcCom- mended his appointment as a forest ranger The sultan of Jolo ana his datOs. under the battes treaty. re- ceived stated amounts quarterly. They were supposed to keep order and pre- vent crime. but the governor of Jolo was rather deficient in his duties.

 l.. A. Allen of Kansas City. spoke iu favor of the measure, and then Mr. Goudy of Colorado, sounded the first note of opposition. He feared that specula tors would lease large tract: under such law and sub-lease at a large profit. He thought there were net enough safeguards against acquire ment by individuals and corporations of the vast bodies of lands to the det- riment of small cattle owners After his argument had been responded to by several delegates, MT. Goudy offered & resolution, reducing the time Of leases from ten to five years. The res Cluticn was defeated. Then he offered enc providing that certain limit should he fixed on the number of acres one individual or corporation should be allowed to lease.

Coffee was Doing the Work in Good
 Style.

Members of the same family are af- fccted differently by coffee drinking. One may feel the effect in disordered stomach while another may have no trouble with the stomach so far as known, but have palpitation of the heart and finally organic heart disease, or perhaps in another the kidneys may become affected.
 As an illustration, a family in Mur- physboro. H., reports an experience. Mrs. Cole discovered that the sour stomach and nervous restless nights were caused by coffee drinking. Her mother suffered from nervousness when coffee was used, while the broth CT of the family became q wreck di- rectly from coffee drinking.

HARRIS TRIAL
and VERDICT.

1t was five O'Clock Saturday night
before the jury in the Harris trial
gave notice that they had agreed on a
verdict. When it became known that
the jury had agreed on verdict, the
court room filed up Immediately and
the priosner who was on trial for his
life was again brought before the bar
of justice.
There was a considerable hush in
the court room when the court in
quired of the foreman of the jury
whether they had agreed upon ver-
dict and when he answered in the
affirmative there was a still greater
hush in the court room.
The verdict VISA then read and it
was that the defendant was guilty of
voluntary manslaughter. The ten
sion upon the court was greatly re-
lieved when the verdict was made
known. Inquiry among the members
of the legal fraternity regarding the
verdict was that it was compromise
verdict. Immediately upon the Civ
ing of the verdict counsel for the de-
fendent gave notice of an application
to be filed for new trial.
The verdict was received through
out the city in various ways. Some
believed that it was very righteous
verdict while others thought he
should have been convicted of murder
in the second degree, while others
thought he should have been acquit-
ted, although the number who thought
he should have been acquitted was
not large save among his immediate
friends.
There are various stories af1oat re-
garding the standing of the jury at
various times during their delibera-
tions. AS the work of jury is a
secret matter and it is not permitted
to be told, not one of these stories can
be relied upon as being true. No
juror who has any regard for his oath
is going to tell how this man or that
man voted or how the vote stood.
One of the safegards of the jury sys-
tenn is its secrecy.
Up until late hour this afternoon
no hearing had been given the attor-
neys for the defense upon their plea
for new trial.
