 Many papers do not see the value
 of the Hoar resolution providing fol
 the presidential succession, in the
 light of the act of congress in 1886
 which was supposed to have settled
 the question. The Hoar resolution
 provides for the contingency of the
 removal of the president-elect, while
 the former act had reference only tc
 the succession while the president
 was actually in office.
 Speaking of Aguinaldo, Governor
 Taft of the Philippine islands says
 that while his name was probably
 better known than that of any other
 man in the islands, his personality
 was not familiar to the people. His capture" he said, "in the face of the general impression that he was di-
 vinely protected against capture ol injury, seriously affected his prestige
 Personally, he is a man of dignity though of limited education. He
 knows how to keep his counsel and
 understands the failings of the Fili- pinos. He knows how to reconcile the differences of leaders and how to avoid arousing the jealousy of him. self. That he has any idea of civil liberty or any kind of liberty I have no reason to believe"
 President Roosevelt's decision in the Schley appeal case will be found to harmonize with the testimony in- troduced at the hearing of the case. The captains of all the vessels testi- fled that they received no orders from Schley during the fight. The orders acted on then had been previously given by Sampson to cover just such an emergency as arose that morning. The president very wisely coincides with the decision of the court that no further proceedings are necessary, as a prolongation of this controversy would only be harmful to the navy and the country. The great mass of the American people are and have been willing to accord Admiral Schley all honor for the part he took in the Santiago sea fight. Schley's applica- tion for hearing was mistake to start ill with, as a dozen hearings could not change the mind of the public on the question, neither could it change the facts in the case. The hearing brought out some facts, or rather, emphasized some things con- nected with the fight that did not add anything to Schley's reputation.
 H. B. Ferguson of the New Mexico statehood committee has returned to Albuquerque, and in an interview with the Citizen of that place said: While my personal opinion, from contact with many personal acquain- tances in both the senate and house of representatives in Washington, is that we will not get statehood at thls time, I ought to state that Delegate Rodey differs from me and has strong hopes that he will get state hood. l heard many compliments given Mir. Rodey for the earnest and able fight he has made for statehood. l know personally, also, he did good work for the military post at Albu- querque; but l think the main reason why we will not get in as a state is political, because the eastern inhu- ences now controlling this govern ment are afraid of the growing power of the west, and statehood for New Arizona and Oklahoma would vastly increase the power of the west in the United States senate and they lear that the result would be to break the hold of the east on the govern nent of this great country. That's why l believe we will not get state hood this congress, nor perhaps for several years to come"
 An exchange in giving history of he man who wrecked the Detroit saving bank says: This Frank An irews financial Napoleon man seems o be lively and unexpected sort of Ten years ago he left | he farm with S5; seven years ago he vas Tn corner grocery; two years | lgo he was a millionaire. He was a professional taker of long chances md had good luck. Recently he se- ,ured the passage of ripper bill by l he Michigan legislature which prac- ically made him dictator of Detroit. he was commissioner of police" with the powers of every other Zind of public officer from coroner to mayor vested in him. Last year he made himself disliked and mildly amous by dispersing the crowds round a single tax orator and the salvation army by means of fire de ,artment and hose. He has dab ,led in all sorts of financial schemes. Silver mines in Mexico, zinc in Mis- ouri, gold at Cripple Creek, copper n Montana, real estate in Detroit and lectric railroads everywhere. But it vas the slithy, squirmsome Anal 'amated Copper which knocked him ut. He bought at S7 and and sold t v and his financial constitution 7asn't strong enough to stand the train. Altogether, MT. Andrews is mining example of an unwholesome
