NEITHER PROMISE NOR DEAL

Mr.. Cannon Says He Has No Understand
Ing With Mr.. sabcoek.
He,c York Sun Special serutos
Chicago, Nov. 18.-Congresman Cannon
and his campaign aides are now SO sure
of his election to the national speakership
that he is preparing to go back to Wash
ngton in a few days and get his appro-
priations committee work under way for
the short session. He and his friends are
especially gratifed because the speaker
ship has been virtually won for him year
in advance without the making of prom
Uses or'"deals.'' Neither the chairman
ship of the ways and means committee nor
of any other committee has been disposed
of.
Mr. Cannon's attention was drawn yes
terday to published statement Of an al
, legel agreement between him and Con-
gresham Babcock Of Wisconsin by vir-
= tue of which Mr.. Babcock was to be made
chairman Of the ways and means commit
tee in return for getting out Of Mr.. Can
= mons way Saturday and turning in to help
make Mr.. Cannon speaker.
Mr. Cannon said he was not in the habit
of denying reports given currency in
newspapers or elsewhere but that he
would in this instance depart from his
practice by saying that the report was not
Just either to Mr.. BabcoCk or to himself.
All who had served with him in con-
statements were incorrect. No agree
ment, he said. had been made, proposed
or even referred to- He added that his
campaign had indeed left him at liberty to
make the strongest possible organization
Of the house if he should be elected
speaker.
II can say" said Congressman James
r. Mann, who has been at the head Of the
Cannon speakership campaign that not
q question has been asked or promise
made in reference to committeeships or
chairmanships in this campaign. We all
feel that Mr. Cannon will follow precedent
and make TO changes in the usual method
of determining these Matters
Serene T.. Payne Of New York will re-
main at the head Of the ways and means
committee Heminway of Indiana will Sue
coed Mr.. Cannon at the head Of the appro-
priations committee Burton Of Ohio will
remain at the head of rivers and harbors
and so on through the list, chairmanships
- going by seniority, experience and genera
fitness. So much can be predicted from
the way Mr.. Cannon and those around him
talk. Using the ways and means COM
mittee as an illustration, 1t is argued thai
no good reason exists for dislacing Chair
man Payne with Mr.. Babcock or anybody
else and that Mr.. Babcock would un.
donbtedly be better satisfied to retain {

GARDENERS POOR SHOWING.
Governor of Tnyebns Wealxens ON
His Rep0rt-BOard Has Had
Enough of Filipino Addresses.

Enough Oh
Manila, June 29.-The board which is
inquiring INTO the charges of cruelty.
etc, brought by Maj. Gardener. gov
ernor of the province of Tayabas,
against American officers and soldiers,
being DESTROYS of completing It's sit
tings, held a session to-day The re-
corder objected to the admission as
evidence of addresses from Filipinos
on the ground that these were merely
buncomb and not worthy of considera-
ton. He said that every regiment was
deluged with such addresses, the worst
regiments getting the most praise. He
said that Maj. Gardener should have
called the atlantis when he was at Lu-
zena in Tayabas pfovince,and that the
court would personally undertake to
obtain 600 afTidavits regarding condi-
tions in Tayabas The Filipinos, he
said, are designing and past masters in
the art of affidavits and addresses and
the board had allowed the affidayits
presented by Maj. Gardener,
but. refused to receive more.
Mai. Gardener, continuing his testi-
mony, said he had considered his orig
inal report to be strictly confidential
and for Secretary of War Root, and
that since he wrote this report and
during the present investigation he had
heard testimony which he presumed to
be true which might have caused him
ma terially to alter his report. He
said the insurgent troops might have
been temporarily disbanded and
hidden and no one except
themselves cognizant of their
existence. Regarding the cases of out
RACES committed by five soldiers. Maj
Gardener said he did not desire to
bring these cases before the board
and that they probably were not true,
although he had made his report in
good faith, as the original affidavits
proved.
Regarding the charge that Ameri-
can soldiers in the summer and fall
of 1901 had administered the water
cure to natives, Maj Gardener said
that he had received information to
this effect from Populations of citi
zens from towns near which the cure
was said to have been given.
