Washington, Jan. 22.-The subcom-

week to investigate the charges made
against Col. w. S. Metcalf, who has
been appointed pension agent at To-
peka, Kan, Tuesday heard Col. Net
calf in his own behalf and also re-
ceived affidavits from soldiers who
were members of Metcalf's command
at the time of the occurrence, with
the responsibility for which he is
charged, took place. The charge is
that at the battle of Caloocan in the
Philippine islands, Metcalf deliberate
ay killed two Filipino prisoners. He
was shown the affidavits making this
charge but denied it emphatically.
He said that he had at the time of
that BATTLE been a major of the
Twentieth Kansas volunteers, that he
remembered the surrender of two Fill
ipino prisoners; that he was engaged
in bringing up the regiment and that
he turned them over to some meQ in
his command with instructions to
take them to the rear; that he knew
of his knowledge nothing more of the
prisoners but that he had heard they
were killed by the soldiers who had
them in charge.
Two or three affidavits from mem
bers of the Twentieth Kansas regi-
ment were filed in confederation of
this statement. In one of these aft
davits it was stated that the pris-
oners were killed by the soldiers be-
cause they refused to go to the rear
and were making trouble at a very
critical time. Records of the war de-
partment were also produced to
show that after two Investigations of

NEGROES IN WASHINGTON.
How the Large CO1ored Populati0D
Of the National Capital In
Accounted For.

Washington retains in the 1900 CEN
sus the distinction which it had in the
1890 census of having more colored in
habitants than any other city of the
United States, says report from that
city. The explanation of Washing
toms popularity as place of residence
for colored people is that it is the win
who, at the beginning of spring begin
their exodus to northern watering
places and to Virginia and Maryland
summer resorts. The cost OF living for
colored people in Washington is not
high. The climate is equable, the ma
tional government does not authorize
restrictions against colored people
such as prevail in most southern states
as to residence and means of transport
tation- There is no discrimination
against them in the Washington courts
and the large transient population of
the District of Columbia during the ses-
sions OF congress and when the public
departments are under full Roadway
causes large demand for colored en-
ployes.
Washington retains it's popularity
among colored people, but the tenn
porary depletion of it's colored popula-
tion, which begins on May 1, has been
going on even more rapidly this year
than heretofore. In the month of o.
tober the return Of the colored people
70 Washington sets in most strongly.

Senator John Nj. Whitehead's ac-

Whitehead is the type of man that vo-
tiers can be proud of supporting and
electing. He has been before the pub

his garments and no suspicion is upon
his honor and integrity. The senator s
acceptance is noted for its modesty
He is far from being narrow minded
man and recognizes that in a state
such as is Wisconsin, ideas differ on
almost every question. Though per-
soually drinker of water ana heliev-

never would desire that his opinion
should be enforced against the will of
the voters The campaign will be
a clearly one if Mr.. Whitehead is the
Republican nominee. The issue will
be tax reform and no man in the state

The exploration of the air by means
Of balloons carrying self-registering
instruments is pursued with much
vigor in Europe. On February z there
were simultaneous ascents from
many points, extending from France
to Austria and Russia. One nm
manned balloon near Paris reached
an elevation of 41,656 feet, not much
short of eight miles. The tempera-
ture of the air at that height, as
shown by self-registering thermom-
eter, was 81 degrees below zero,
Fahrenheit. Another balloon near
Berlin found the same temperature
at an elevation 10000 feet less. These
experiments are expected to throw
much light on the laws of storms and

1t is through no personal ambition
of Senator Whitehead that he has been
called upon by the thousands of Repub-
hcans throughout the state to become
a candidate for governor. but through
the convictions in the minds of the
great majority of Wisconsin Repub-
iicans that the welfare of the Repub-
Gcan party and the dominance of its
principles in the administration of
state affairs imperatively demand the
nomination and election of an execu-
tive who will place the commonwealth
above the party. and the party above
self. Senator Whitehead's public
record has pointed him out as the man
for the emergency in which the Repub-
!. lican party finds itself placed, and the
record of his private life vouches for
his integrity as a man and citizen. In
his public career he has shown that he

Fabulous Tales About Snakes That
Charm and Bank of England
Arrangements,

A lie that nothing seems able to
kill is the fable of the snake fascinat-
ing its prey. It is always bobbing
up serenely. Travellers, otherwise
truthful, think it necessary to put it
in their books; novelists use it in all
good faith, and it appears in the pa
pers once in every six months, says the
Cincinnati Enquirer.
The whole yarn is complete myth.
No snake has any power of fascina-
ton; not even a boa constructor.
Snakes lie in wait for their prey,
Pounce on it and make a meal of it,
without any frills or etiquette, but
nothing can kill the story. A COM
panion lie that generally goes with

ing his prey all over before swallow
ing it to make the job easy. There
Is not jot of truth in this statement
either; but since the notion was start
ed by traveller with vivid imagina-
ton, it has reappeared regularly, and
endless books on zoology have copied
it as truth.
The great British bated- breath story
Is that the enormous wealth in the
Bank of England storerooms is sunk
under water every night, SO as to be
secure against theft. A huge tank is
said to lie under sort of platform
that holds the heaped millions, and
at the touch of button the whole
affair lowers itself into the tank, and

resulted originally from the sugges-
