GARDENER in HOT WATER
DIDN'T BETTER HIMSELF BY WITH
DRAWING ONE CHARGE.
Board of Inquiry Has Ordered Him
to Produce Witnesses-Letter
from Ckaffee.

MANILA, July 1.-General Chaffee has
ing into the charges of cruelty brought
by Major Cornelius Gardener. Governor
of the province of Tayabas, Luzon, against
American officers and soldiers, saying that
the abandonment by Major Gardener OF the
charge that higher officers in the army
in the Philippines were hostile to the civil
government there, was not the answer
him. General Chaffee wrote also that Ma
jor Gardener was not a judge of the effect
of proving this charge, and that the action
of Secretary Root in converting the present
board was taken in order that Major Gar
dener should produce his witnesses. The
abandonment of the charge by the major
led 10 the inference that IL was false, but
true or false, continued General Chaffee.
IL affected inturiously the characters OF
higher officers. The board has demanded
OF Major Gardener that he produce testi-
mony covering the alleged hostility. Ma
Jor Gardener promises TO answer this COM
munication later.
Counsel for Major Gardener. when ques-
said he would refuse to produce witnesses.
He declared that Major Gardeners report
to Civil Governor Taft was confidential,
and that the major would snly produce
witnesses TO protect himself if court-mar-
tailed.
Gardener testified that he had withheld
the names of other witnesses at Lucena, in
Tayabas province, because of the attitude
of the recorder of the court. His cross
examination in the matter of civil and
military action in Tayabas province is TO
be continued.

BAILEY'S EARLY CAREER.


PITTSBURG. July 1.-The WASHINGTON
correspondent OF the Dispatch says: Many
who know Senator Bailey do not accept the
idea that he will let the trouble with SEN
ator Beveridge drop. or that the matter will
be hushed up. The Texan has led too
strenuous life TO be satisfied with the in
terrupted chastisement Bailey was a
member of the mob which on election day
1854, shot and killed J. Print Matthews at
Hazelhurst Copiah county. Mississippi. be-
cause he tried TO vote the Republican ticket
after he had been warned not 10 do so
Matthews's original offense which caused
the prohibition against his voting was in
sisting that negroes should be permitted 10
vote for Blaine and Logan. The AFFAIR is
known as the Copiah massacre. The SEN
ate investigated the matter and all through
the testimony the witnesses talk about Joe
Bailey doing this or that. He was a little
over twenty-one years old at that time and
was an elector on the Democratic ticket
The testimony also showed that Bailey in
dulged in riding around the country I'm a
mob which terrOrized negroes. He moved
TO Texas Immediately thereafter Bailey
got his liking for politics while he was the
factotum In his fathers hotel Part OF his
duties consisted Ia tending bar. and that
threw him into contact with bad men
From them he appears 10 have acquired his
supersensitive notions OF honor"

M'LEAN AND TOM L. JOHNSON.


COLUMBUS, o., July 1.-The Ohio Demo-
cratic clam bake, given at Beulah Park
Grove City, under the auspices of the
Young Mems Democratic Club to-day was
we'll attended. One of the main features of
the day was the reading of a letter from
John r. Mclean, former Democratic can
oidate for Governor of Ohio. in which he
said: The enduring principles of Democ-
racy are those upon which we must rely.
No expedient or irregular inventions are re-
quired. II there ever is a time for apologies
for Democratic existence or trifiing with
the cardinal faith, or for doubtful alliances,
the present is certainly not that time"
Replying TO Mr. McLeans reference TO
expedients and irregular inventions Mayor
Tom l.. Johnson, of Cleveland. said: The
taxation issue. for which l stand, is older
than the party itself. To deal with live
questions they arise always on the side
of the plain people and always in opposition
TO privilege and advantage. is the mission
OF Democracy. That mission to-day is to
correct the unequal system of taxation by
which the farmers and home owners of this
State are paying more than their share
While the railroad corporations and the
other quasi-public corporations are paving
less than their share. The mission Of the
Democracy to-day is TO break up the un-
holy alliance between a few Republican
leaders and the privileged corporations by
which they are shifting the burdens from
wealth 10 poverty; from privilege to enter
prise; from alien owners of valuable priv
ileges in this State TO people owning cor
porations engaged in competitive business

AT its meeting yesterday the Republican
State committee unanimously decided to
extend an invita- tion to Senator Marcus A.
Hanna to take part in the campaign in In
diana. The committee met at O'Clock at
its rooms in the Majestic building, Chair
man Goodrich presiding. George A. Cunning
ham, of the First district, was not present.
and his district was not represented Nat
L. Hill. of Bloomington, candidate for
treasurer of state, was present to represent

only candidate present. Miles X. Moffett.

A. Simss district, was not represented.
Neither was the Tenth district. of which
Thomas ]. Mccoy is committeeman.
One of the important items of business
transacted by the committee was to fix the
time of opening the State campaign. 1t
was decided to begin the oratorical feature
of the campaign on Sept. 20, and this may
be looked on as the real opening date when
active operations will begin all along the
line On the 10th there will be meetings in
all the counties in the State, and there will
be general hurrah on that day. The Goth
falls on Saturday and a big turnout of peo-
pie will be expected at the different meet
ings. 1t is not settled that Senator Hanna
will be asked to assist in opening the cam
paign, although this may be arranged. Just
where Senator Hanna will be asked to
speak when he does come into the State
has not been arranged, although there has
been a suggestion that he speak at Terre
Haute. The question of having President
Roosevelt in the Indiana campaign was not
discussed yesterday. The President is 10 he
here in September, but he will come to at
tend the reunion of Spanish-Americ war
veterans, and his visit will have no politi-
cal significance. What speech-making he
does then will not be of political charac-
ter, it is understood. Whether or not he
will make another trip to Indiana is NOT
stated by the committee.
The committee made reports to the chair
man from their respective districts. and the
reports, ii is announced. were satisfactory.
In addition to the regular members of the
committee, II. c. Starr, of Richmond: FL

executive committee, were present

Chairman Cannon, of the House appro-
priations committee. to-day presented a
statement of the appropriations made at
the present Congress, showing a total of
$780, 3,S37 not including the large amounts
that will be required for the isthmian ca
nal and public buildings and river and har
Dor contracts. In his statement Mr.. Cam
non says in part: AN analysis of this ia
BILE shows that the total estimated expendi-
lures forecast by the executive departments
aggregated SH6,34S,31S; that the total ap-
propriations made exclusive of S5O13O 900 to-
ward an isthmian canal aggregate $780,
After giving in detail the appropriations
under each bill Mr.. Cannon saws: "Tt is
not inappropriate here to advert to the fact
that the expenditures for the past two fis-
cal years 1900 and 1901, show that during
that period there has been applied TO the
sinking fund more than $113OO0.OOO a sum
greater than the law actually requires and
which exceeds the whole amount applied
TO the eXtingushment of the public debt
during all OF the nine fiscal years from 1881
TO 1899 inclusive.
During the four years of President
Clevelands last administration from 1s0i
10 1896 inclusive, only s13, 400, ,047 was applied
TO the payment of the public debt. while
during the same period that administration
issued bonds TO the extent of 1852. .315. 400 in
order TO raise money wherewith to paw CIR
rent expenses and maintain the public
credit The appropriations made in the
resular annual bills for ordinary expenses
or the government payable during the fs
cal year 1903 aggregate 1886. 500, ,7O5 which
together with the sums carried under Der-
manent appropriations and exclusive of the
amount required by the sinking fund
makes a total OF S665, 423. .925. In the nature

ences this entire sum will never be ex-
