THEY CRUSH THE POWERS

This is written in mid October. The long,
oppressive summer is quite gone. Fading
leaf, whitening tree and the rustling corn in
the fields are signs of the season. Fog,
frost, rain, snow,-they are coming. Iou
remember last winter of 1900 and 1901.
The weather was cruel. All! the thous-
ands it killed, and the hundreds of thous-
ands it manned and crippled. Oh, the
rough grasp it laid on men at work, women
at home, and children in cribs and cradles.
Coughs that began before Thanksgiving
Day are racking and tearing them still; yes,
and growing worse as they dig deeper into
the poor, tired throat and lungs. Many
were cured by using Benson's Porous Plas-
tiers. For the soothing and healing power
of these Plasters is wonderful. They con-
duer the complaints

MORE ABOUT PHILIPPINES
Major General Macarthur Continues His
Testimony Before Committee.

Testimony Before Committee.
Washington, April 12-When Gen
eral Macarthur resumed his testimony
before the senate committee on the
Philippines Dubois asked a number Of
questions concerning the efficiency Of
Philippine labor. The general said
there were about 400 natives en-
and that for this work they received
SIS in gold per month, while Ameri-
cans received $40. The Filipinos were,
he said. quite efficient in this work
and while this pay was entirely out of
proportion to that received by the
Americans, it was SO much more thai,
they had been in the habit of receiv-
ing that they were spurred to an ex-
ira effort.
He also expressed the opinion that
the natives would be found equal to
the task of cultivating the agriculture
al lands of the islands if sufficiently
paid for their services. Still, it was
possible that this labor might not be
equal to the demands of American and
European exploiters. In this connec-
ton be repeated his conviction that
it is not desirable to unduly exploit
the islands, and if this We're to be
done, excessive wages would be nee
eSSary to secure results.
Replying to Patterson, General Mac
Arthur said there were few factories
in the islands, but that he believed
the Filipinos We're capable of develop
ment as artisans. 'They are success
full" he said, wherever dizziness OIL
touch is necessary. They are of ar
tistic temperament and will take high
rank as artists

during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. 1t stands the highest for its won
derful cures of the most distressing cases.

Lawyer and Politician.

But writing has always been second
airy with Mr.. Ware. He is first of all
a successful lawyer and politician. On
the cars, while being carried to the
scene of a political rally, army reun-

that add much to his fame and popu-
larity have been composed.
In person Mr.. Ware is the personi-
ication Of good health and spirits.
Six feet in hight, weighing 200 pounds
and with a frank. hearty address, he is
the reverse Of the ideal poet, dining
on mOOnshine and distilled rose leaves.
He works hard, and enjoys it. His

and few can embellish a post-prandial
address with better assortment or
digestion provoking anecdotes.

Mrs. W. c. Ledlow, who resides at the toll gate fnear the Excelsior Brick Yard in North Montgomery will inherit pro- perty in Hamburg, Germany, valued at about s7,o0o This gratifying news to her was received yesterday in letter from former Governor Joseph F.. Johnston.

The matter of reaching a settlement was kept up with the consul and yesterday A. Gerald, chief of police, received a letter from MT. Johnston in which he enclosed a letter from the consul stating the estate would be sold and the proceeds divided among the heirs. It is said the property is valued at $21,000 and Mrs. Ludlow s share will be $7,00O

CONTINUES CRITICAL.
Pan-American Congress May End in
 Row.


 Mexico City. Jan. 1.-The situation in the Pan-American conference continues critical and probably not until the day after tomorrow will the fate of the gath ering be known. The Chilean delega- tion was closeted with one another today but when seen they declined to give any intimation as to their ultimate action. If they remain firm and refuse to allow the plan of compulsory arbitration to be re- ported to the conference, then either they or several of the other South American delegates must withdraw The burden of peace making falls on the Mexicans as the United States delegates remain neutral. Though the latter will not sign a plan of compulsory arbitration, they have no objection to allowing such plan to be signed by some of the South Americans to be reported to the confer ence. as long as the United States goes on record as having nothing to do with it. Still the Americans will not take an active part in procuring admittance for the compulsory plan.
 When asked why they do not take the same stand as the Americans. the Chileans hint that the introduction of the compulsory plan will be made the pre- text of covert attacks on Chile like that of Baez; that the facts will be misrepre sented abroad and that their enemies in South America may endeavor to use the semi-sanctiop of the conference for com pulsory arbitration against Chile in the future. The situation Is the theme of general conservation in political circles

TWO KILLED IN WRECK
SEVENTEEN OTHERS WERE IN-

Five of Them are Considered Serious ly Hurt-Through B. 6 o. Pas senger Train Jumped
 the Track.

Pittsburg, Jan. 1.-As the result of a through passenger train on the Baltimore and Ohio road jumping the track today. two men are dead and seventeen injured, five of whom are considered seriously hurt. Through the courtesy of General Superintendent W. R. Woodford of the Pittsburg division. the following official list of the dead and injured is given:
 Dead--John Collins. Connellsville, Pa. engineer: - McCune. ConneilsviIle, fire man.
 Injured-D. J. Partella, mail clerk. Washington, D. C., seriously; William Avery, a Baltimore and Ohio engipeer. seriously; G. w. Ryan, Baltimore, seri- ously; c. A. Young. mail clerk. HaGers- town, Md, seriously: R. R. Souser, Na- pier. Pa, seriously; Charles Henry, Phil- adelphia; C. B. Smith, Allegheny, Pa. i; J. S. Matthews. Cheyenne. Wyo.: J. R. Walters. Huttonsville. w. Va; M. R. Mckinley, Rock Island, Ill.,; H. A. Hall, Gainesville, w. Va.; F. J. Lasey, Chica- go: Frank w. Brenner, s. J. Jones, Sum- init, Md: E. J. Lebman. Washington, D. C.; J. A. Barton, Chicago; I. N. Hay, Meyersdale. Pa.
 The injured were all taken to Meyers dale for treatment as quickly as the re- lief train from Cumberland could get them there. The train which was ditched was the through passenger which left here at $40 this morning Hound for New York. It was fully vestibuled train, composed of engine, baggage car. postal car. two coaches, sleeper and Pullman chair car.
 In going down the steep grade. one and one-half miles from Glencoe, the engine, from cause yet unexplained. jumped the track at the curve and the entire train piled on top of it. Probably the only thing that prevented a wholesale death list was the fact that the heavy vesti- bule cars did not break up in going over the embankment. The work to rescue the injured had to be done quickly, be- cause the gas tanks in the cars were ex- ploded and set fire to the wreckage. The flames spread rapidly and in a short time the entire train was burned.

PALMA TICKET WINS.
Maso's Followers Refused to Go to
 the Polls.

Havana. Jan.' 1.-The indications are that the entire Palma ticket will be elected and that Thomas Estrada Palma. the Nationalist candidate for the Presi- dency of Cuba, will receive the unani- nous vote of the electoral college. The adherents of General Maso, Democratic candidate, who recently withdrew from the campaign. not only withdrew their candidates but refused to go to the polls. A remarkably light vote was boiled throughout the island La Discussion de- scribes this indifference to the certainty on the part of the Palmaists of being victorious. and that consequently the ma jority of them remained at home and did not vote.
 La Lucha says that this light vote can be taken as a protest from the Cuban people against the imposition of officia, candidates. ..
 The Diario de la Marina says that the result is an indication that the Cuban Democracy may look upon American pol icy as inevitable.

GoRMAN A SURE WINNER.
Believed That He Will Secure tn,
 Senatorship.'

Annapolis Md, Jan 1.-The General Assembly of Maryland began its delibera- tions today. and, after brief session, adjourned for a week in order to allow time to make up the committees. N. L.. Mitchell of Harford County. was elected Speaker of the House, and Senator J. Hubner of Baltimore County was re- elected President of the Senate. All the officers of last session were reelected in both houses.
 The fact that notices of contests in the case of six Republicans in the House and one in the Senate were presented today, indicates that the Democrats desire a more comfortable working majority both on joint ballot and in the House than they now have. and as the results in all the cases brought up today were very close. it seems likely that some changes will be made in the present makeup of the Assembly. The coming election of a United States Senator created but little comment as it Is almost universally be- lieved that Mir. German will have no diff ficulty in securing the Senatorship when the balloting begins.
