TIE ENGLISH CLIMATE.
!. Is 1t Orcc tho Worst and the Best
In tire World.


o all known climates the Enc
| lish is, spys John CorJin in 'rh.
Atlantic, at once the worst ami Tic
hcst. From year.; end to ycar's
ond tie whole island and the hcav-
ems above arc stepped in the soft
damp of the four surrounding seas.
y long and Ircnching rain is almost
unknown; if Il man can forcgo the
vanity Of being quite dry, and is
Lot above al occasional retreat into
a cab, an umbrella or a raincoat
is scarcely necessary. Yet the sky
Is never crystal clear, as it 50 often
Is with US; the sun seldom dazzlcs,
the stars never flicker and blaze.
Month in and month out the land
scapc is blurred in all pcrvading
damp-thin, almost impcrccptiblc
in summer, yet changing the YER
durc to an olive green; azure and
opalcsccnt in spring, purple in au-
tumn, golden gray or lurid dun
color i'll winter. And frost and
snow arc as rare as the heat Of pure
sunlight.
The defects Of this climate are
at one with the virtues in that tlloy
drive men into the open; indeed,
1t would not be easy to say what are
defects and what are virtues. The
temperance Of the summer heat
makes out of doors q paradise. In
the winter one is chilled TO The lone

can residents, but the natives them
selves, if they stay long Valoors.
The coal consumed seems enough
10 heat the entire island to incan-
dcsccnce, yet such is the efficiency
of the open fireplace Of the country
that the man who crouchcs before it
goes blue in the lips and white to
the roots OF his nose, while The par
ticlcs Of half consumed carbon
gather minute globulcs Of mist
above the chimncys, shroud the city
in black natural fog, and the cit
izcns in fog of the spirit.

AGAINST THE CORPORATIONS.
A Legal Decision That Corporations Must
Pay Taxes in Proportion to Value
of Entire Property.

Lincoln, Neb., April 24.--The SUI
preme court of Nebraska yesterday
afternoon overruled the findings of
Referee Ryan in the case of the Real
Estate exchange of Omaha against
the Omaha city council, in which the
Real Estate exchange sued for
writ of mandamus to compel the
council to reconvene as a board of
equalization and hear complaints
against the alleged low assessment
Of the property of public service cor
porations of the city of Omaha. The
decision is perhaps the most impor-
tant of the kind ever given, and will
be as far-reaching in its effect as the
famous school-teachers' case of Chi
cago. The decision, in reversing the
recommendation of the referee finds
for the Real Estate exchange on
every point of law, and decides the
writ shall issue. The mandamus de-
mands that the franchiseds corpora
tons shall be assessed on the same
basis as private property.

MoROs FULL OF FIGHT.
Two engagements on the Island of Min
danaO In Which the United States
Troops Were Victorious.

Manila. April 23.-Two engage
ments have been fought between the
American troops and the Moros of
the island of Mindanao during the
last "a hours. Moore, of the Twenty
Seventh infantry, while out with a
small party hunting for water, was
fired upon at long range. Lieut.. Col.
Frank D. Baldwin, with a battalion
of troops and a mountain gun, went
to the assistance of Moore's party
and drove off the Moros, who lost
seven men. The firing was at LOO
yards range. The Moro villages were
flying red flags, meaning that they
intended to fight to the uttermost.
Later, Sultan PuaIo and a force of
natives attempted to re-occupy the
ground gained by the Americans, but
the Moros were forcibly dispersed.

LONG LEASES OPPOSED.
The BowersOck Bin for Dispos: ton OF
Pasture Lands VIII Not BE Report
- ed at This Session.

Washington. April 22.-There will
be no legislation at this session of
congress providing for the leasing of
public lands for grazing purposes.
Mr.. Lacey, of Iowa, chairman of the
house committee on public lands,
stated that the committee would. not
hold any further hearings. on the
Bowersock bill and would not take
any action upon it or upon any other
grazing bill at the present session.
1t has developed that the interests
in the public lands are so conflict
ing that it will be impossible to pass
any bill that will be acceptable. Bing-
er Hermann, commissioner of the gem
eral land Office, has ended the pros
poets of legislation by appearing be-
fore the committee and protesting
against the proposed leasing bill.
Commissioner Hermann asserts that
any grazing bill providing for long
time leases of the public lands will
retard demonstrating and the settle
ment of the public domain.

Chicago, April 23.@The Record
Herald says: Three firms practical
Iy have complete control OF. the poul-
try market. Through the ownership
of two-thirds of all the poultry in
the country they are said to be able
to fix prices at will. The firms hav-
ing control are: Armour & Co.,
Swift & Co. and Friebe & Semiter,

HE'LL NOT DISTURB IT.
On Col. Crowder's Report President Roose-

Washington, April 23.-The report
of Col. Crowder, who Investigated the
shipment of horses and mules to
South Africa from the port of Chal-
mette, La, was laid before the cabi-
net Tuesday by the president. While
the report is incomplete, it devel-
oped that the conclusion was reached
by the president from what he had
seen of it that there was not suff1-
cient evidence to show past or pre-
vious violation of neutrality laws and
consequently there is no warrant for
intervention. Col. Crowder will make
some additions to his report and he
will go over the matter very thor
oughly with the president and the

FUNsToN's REQUEST.
The General Asks That sergt. Nicholson
Be SubpOenaed and Examined Re-
gardIng the "Water Cure"

Denver, Col, April 23.-Gen. Fred
erick Funston yesterday telegraphed
Senator Lodge, chairman of the SEN
ate committee on the Philippines,
asking him to subpoena John Nichol-
son, who is said to have been a SER
geant in the Fourth cavalry, and ex-
anime him under oath regarding the
use of the water cure" Nicholson
is reported to have said at Norfolk,
Va, that Gen. Funston originated
the 'water cure" and practiced it al
most daily for several months.
eff Nicholson makes this statement
under oath,'' said Gen Funston, ''he
will land in the penitentiary for per-
jury. 1 am inclined to believe, how
ever, that Nicholson is a myth. I
know every non-commissioned officer
in the troops of the Fourth cavalry
that were under my command and
there was no sergeant named Nichol-
son. Not only did I not practice the
water cure but I issued strict or
ders against the use OF it or any
other form of torture to- secure in
formation from the captured insur-
gents. never saw the water cure
administered and do not believe that
it was resOrted to by any of my com
mand. I have extracted valuable in
formation from captured insurgents
by frightening them, but never by
torture"

Fatal in One Case.

committee on the Philippines Monday
resumed the examination of witnesses
in the investigation of affairs in the

been "a witness to the water cure,
as administered to the natives by the
Macabebe scouts and. that this was
done to get information as to the
whereabouts of their guns. The guns
were delivered. The following day
some men of his own regiment ap.
piled the cure, but their act was with
out the authority of their command
ing officers. Flint had been, he said
a witness to at least 20 cases of wa.
ter cure. He never had seen any one
die as a result of the cure but had
seen a hospital corps working on a
native who had been rendered un-

music of many bands and cheers from
thousands of throats the twelfth an

that by night this number would be
swelled to 5000 at least.
While thousands of visitors did not
leave the business section of the city
the tents of Camp Johnston, two
miles distant, were crowded. The
great mess shed seating $4,000 was
opened. An army of cooks and wait
ers worked like beavers while the
veterans, with q hunger born of a
night in the open air, did their best
in an able manner to keep the cooks
busy.

$500 people, was filed soon after
the veterans were called to order
by Gen. K. NJ. Van Zandt, president
of the Texas Reunion association.
Rev. ]. William Jones, chaplain-gen-

Topeka, Kan. April 2s-The Farm
ers' Grain association of Kansas,
which has operated against the grain
trust for the last year, proposes to

panies will be held by the bankers
merchants, farmers and laboring
men. The meat will be sold on the
local market, and all that is not con-
sumed there will be shipped to the
larger cities. This will save the
freight on the live stock to market
and freight on the meat which is
shipped back to the consumers.

TALKED TOO MUCH.
Gen. Funston Receives Reprimand
from President Roosevelt.
Nan Who Captured AguInaIdO Must Not
Discuss Public Questions as He Has
Done What Funston Says
AbouS the Matter.

Washington, April 24.-By order of
the president, Gen. Frederick Fun
ston, in command of the Department
of the Colorado, has been directed to
cease further discussion of public
questions. The president has tele-
graphed Gen. Funston not to speak
at the Middlesex banquet in Boston.
The telegram from the secretary
of war to Gen. Funston is as follows:
81 am directed by the president to
instruct you that he wishes you to
cease further public discussion of
the situation in the Philippines and
also to express his regret that you
should make a senator of the United
States the object of public criticism
or discussion"
At banquet last Saturday night
of the Colorado Sons of the Revolu-
ton, Gen. Funston is reported to
have said of Senator Hoar: 81 have
only sympathy for the senior sena-
tor from Massachusetts,, who is suf-
fering from an over-heated con-
science"
Probably what caused the issue of
this particular letter was an appli-
1IOul 0SA. L uIlSIOn LOT leave
of absence in order that he might
attend the banquet to be given in
Boston by the Middlesex club. 1t was
understood that he was to deliver
another address there and as the
president deprecates the discussion
of public questions in this fashion
by United States officials and officers
this letter was sent. The request
for leave of absence was refused.
Funston's Comments on the Order.
Denver, Col, April 24.-To repre-
sentative of the Associated press Gen.
Funston said, with reference to the
statement from Washington that the
president had directed him (Funston)

received any such order from Wash
ington. Continuing the conversation,
the general said that in future his
public utterances would be free
from any reference to the Philip
pines, intimating that his speeches
as printed were as a rule full of milj-
statements and very badly garbled.
Gen. Funston announced last Sat
urday that he would not attend the
Middlesex club banquet at Boston. He
has accepted an invitation to attend
a banquet to be given in his honor
In this city on May 1 by the Colorado
