A NEW PARTY ORGANIZED.
A Constitution Adopted by the National
Liberal Party-The Free Love EIe-
ment Not Admitted.

Cincinnati, Jan. 27.-The national
liberal party was organized here yes
terday by representatives from all
parts of the country. The preamble
to the new constitution that was
adopted declares for the separation
of church and state to the extent of
abolishing chaplains in the army and
navy, legislative bodies and all pub
lie institutions, the taxation of
church property and abandonment of
Sabbath observance. The national
party is the amalgamation for politi-
cal purposes of free thinkers, and it
is more distinctly in politics than the
American Secular union. The free
love element was not admitted inc
the new organization, but the woman
suffragists were admitted. At the
Thomas Paine memorial last night
addresses were made by C. S. Darrow,
of Chicago; J. T. Wyscarver and
others. Officers will be elected to-
day.

BREAKING IN OF LIGHT.
Former Kansas City Woman Now Teaching
In the Philippines Writes of Her
Interesting Work.

Kansas City, Mo-, Jan. 25.-Miss
Margaret Graf, former teacher in
the Kansas City schools, writes of
her work as teacher of Filipino chill
dren at Nueva Caceres, Luzon. Miss
Crafts class is composed of boys only.
Filipino boys are generally considered
brighter than the girls, she says.
They are apt pupils and learn English
readily. Miss Graft is one of only
nine American women in the town in
which she is stationed. There are
hundreds of beggars in the town,
many of whom are blind from small
pox, or are crippled. Dancing is the
chief amusement of the natives. The
people are musical and the best fam
lilies have pianos. Nueva Caceres is a
town of about 10000 inhabitants,
mostly children" Miss Graft writes.
The town is strongly garrisoned and
no fear of war trouble is felt. The
town is the headquarters of Gen.
Fred Grant, who, Miss Graft says,
"looks exactly like his illustrious
father" Teaching the Filipinos, she
says, sis infinitely more interesting
than teaching in ones native country,
because the breaking in of the light
of understanding is so gratifying"
She likes the country and is deeply
interested in her work.

MRS. RICHARDSON ACQUITTED
The Jurors Were Out Only Thirty Min.
utes and Took One BalIOt-A Demon
stratiOn in the Court Room.

Plattsburg, Mo-, Jan. 27.-There
was a remarkable scene in the Gin
ton county courthouse Saturday aft
ernoon when the jury returned the
verdict declaring Mrs. Addie B. Rich
ardson not guilty of the murder of
her husband. The jury was out so
minutes just long enough to elect
Alexander Shepherd foreman, read
the instructions and take one bal
lot. The jurors were ranged in front
of the railing that divides the court
room. Mrs. Richardson sat just out
side the railing, her back to the
jurors and her head bowed. The
talking and gossiping ceased. The
clerk read the words: ''Not guilty."
The crowd cheered. 1t was fully
five minutes before Judge Burns
could restore order. Mrs. Richard
son rose and placed her hands to her
face. just then her father-in-law,
John D. Richardson, clasped her in
his arms and kissed her.

TO FIND FOR METcALF7
Sub Committee of Senate Pension Com
mIttee Does Not Bel eve the Kansan
Killed Filipino Prisoners.

Washington, Jan. 27.-The subcom-
mittee of the senate committee on
pensions which has been engaged for
the past week in making an investi-
cation against Gen. Wilder S. Metcalf,
who has been nominated for the Of
fee of pension agent at Topeka, Kan,
probably will make a partial report
to the full committee at its next
meeting to-day. The subcommittee
finds itself in somewhat of a guam
dry because of the conflicting nature
of the testimony that had been ad-
duced. This conflict is not entirely
confined to different individuals, but
in some cases the same person makes
affidavits on both sides of the contro-
versy. Because of this condition the
subcommittee is in doubt whether to
ask for further time for investigation
or to report the facts as far as they
are developed, leaving the full COM
mittee to deal with the case as it may
decide advisable. The conclusion so
far reached is that Filipino prisoners
were certainly killed and that no
steps were taken to punish those who
killed them, but that general, then
Maj. Metcalf, did not know of the
killing until after it had occurred.

Walls Shook at Quincy.
CONCEDED EVERY POINT.
In the Sale of the Danish West indies
Denmark Gave the United States
Free Hand.

Washington, Jan. 25.-The treaty of
cessiOn of the Danish West Indies
islands from Denmark to the United
States was signed at the state depart
ment Friday by Secretary Hay and
Constantine Brun, the Danish minis
ter. The treaty was then submitted
to the senate for ratification.
Following the invariable rule in
such cases, the state department Off
Gals decline to make public any of
the details of the treaty, so that it
is not possible to state positively
the price to be paid, though this is
believed to be in the neighborhood
of $5,OOO,OOO. It is known also that
Denmark has abandoned the position
she was inclined to occupy toward the
conservation of the political rights of
the inhabitants of the island and
leaves the United States a free
hand to deal with them without
pledge of American citizenship or of
free trade privileges.

Mr.. BRYAN NOT PLEASED.
Nebraskan Bitterly Attacks the Corona

lean Spirit Is Decadent-

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 27.-William J.
Bryan in the Commoner makes no
concealment of his disgust in discuss
ing the selection of special ambassa-
doris to represent America at the
kings coronation. He says: 1.-THE ap-
pointment of special ENJOYS to repre-
sent the United States government
at the coronation of King Edward in
dictates a weakening of American sem
timent and lowering of American
ideals. Surely our ambassador at the
court of ST. James can give express
sion to all the interest which Ameri-
cans feel in the browning of England's
sovereign. Do the emperors of the
old world and distinguished person.
ages dance attendance upon our presi-
dent when he assumes the duties i'm
posed upon him by the suffrages of
his countrymen? Why, then, should
American representatives hang
around a throne and pay homage to
one who rules, not by the voice of
the people or because of personal
merit, but because he is the eldest
son of one who in turn inherited the
privilege of exercising authority?
King Edward ought to make the most
of this evidence of the decadence of
the American spirit for the demon
stration may not be repeated. He
should announce that the proud heir
of George III. accepts with pleasure
the respectful alterations of the de-
scendants of George Washington"

TO PROTECT ST. LOUIS.
If the City Cannot Prepare for the Fair In
1908 Congress VIII Consent to
a Postponement.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Representa-
tive Tawney, chairman of the house
exposition committee, said that con-
gress would take a hand in the ST.
Louis worlds fair, and under certain
conditions would demand its post
ponement. Mr.. Tawney drafted the
bill appropriating $5,OOO,OOo for the
fair and helped to pass it through
the house. est. Louis is doing her
utmost to get ready for the fair, and
there is a strong hope that no post
ponement will be necessary" he said.
''But congress will take no chances
on making the fair a success. If it
should appear that foreign nations
cannot participate in 1903, but can ex-
hibit literally a year later, there is
no doubt the general sentiment of
both houses would be in favor of
waiting a year. Having appropriated
$5,OOO,OOO for this great project, of
course, the national government can
not be Indifferent to its success. It
is in a measure bound to see that
nothing is done or omitted that might
jeopardize the exposition

NOT IN POLITICS.
Rear Admiral schIey So Declared In Chi
cagO, Where He Was Given Round of
Receptions and Banquets.

Chicago, Jan. 27.-Rear Admiral W.
S. Schley declared three times Sat
urday that he had no intention of en-
tering politics. His remarks were cal
culated to set at rest the political
ambitions which some of his admir-
ers have entertained for him. He
said that no office, however high,
would tempt him to jeopardize the
love which the people of this coun-
try have expressed for him. Satur-
day for the admiral was round of
receptions, at each of which he ex-
pressed his gratitude for tokens of
esteem and appreciation. The demon
strations reached their climax in the
banquet given in his honor by the
Hamilton club in the banquet hall of
the Auditorium. Nearly $50 guests
were present.

TWENTY DEAD IN A MINE.
Explosion in the Lost Creek Property Near
Oskaioosa Causes Awful DIsaster-De-
br!s Thrown 200 Feet High.

Oskaloosa, Ia, Jan. 25.-The Lost
Creek coal mine was the scene yes
terday of a terrible disaster, which
cost the lives of 21 miners.
The explosion occurred at the noon
hour, and was what is known as a
dust explosion. The miners had just
fired their usual noon shots, one of
which proved to be fizzle, the pow
der flame igniting the gas and caus-
ing the explosion. Smoke and debris
was blown out of the mine in a col
umn geo feet high. A part of the top
works was torn away and the fans
and cages were wrecked. This made
the work of rescue very slow, and it
was three o'clock before volunteer
parties dared to venture into the east
entry, where the explosion occurred.

Wichita, Kan, Jan. 25.-Mrs. An

gagged here in broad daylight in
her room and robbed of 81 100 worth
of diamonds. 1t was learned last
night that she was also robbed of ST.
500 in money. She came here a few
months ago and married an 18-year-
old livery stable boy who was taking
care of her horse, and is now send
ing him to a local college. The
woman is said to be the daughter OF
poor parents at Racine, Wis, and the
source of what appears to be a
princely income is bothering the Off
GERS. There is no clew to the rob-
bers.

THE MARIETTA TO COLON.
Renewed Activity OF Colombian Rebels
Causes Secretary Long to Increase
. Our Naval Force There.

Washington, Jan. 24-As a result
of the renewed activity of the liberal
forces of Colombia on the isthmus of
Panama, Secretary Long has ordered
the gunboat Marietta to proceed to
Colon on the gulf side in order to
cooperate with the cruiser Philadel-
phia at Panama on the Pacific side in
keeping close watch on any develop
ments which may threaten United
States interests or treaty rights, and
in stopping them when they take
that course. The Marietta is now
with the North Atlantic squadron
off Porto Rico, and will sail for Colon
without delay.
