Presidents Endorsement on Pa.
pers i'm Ryan Case.

Washington. Sept. lot was an
nounced at the war department today
that the president has disapproved the
proceedings and findings in the case of
Captain James A. Ryan, Fifteenth cav
airy, who was tried by a general court
martial at Manila. p. l., on the charge
of conduct to the prejudice of good or
der and military discipline. There were
first alleged that Captain Ryan, while
commanding detachment of troops at
Jiminez, Mindanao. and having in his
charge as a prisoner Uvaldo Abing,
presidente of the Pueblo of Jiminez,
administered the water cure to him for
the purpose of extorting information.
The second specifica ton alleged that Capt
Ryan i'll treated one Luis GirnenO, vice
presidente of the Pueblo of Jiminez, a
prisoner in his charge at Jiminez, by
holding his head in a bucket OF water.
The record shows that Capt. Ryan
pleaded mot guilty to the specifications
and the charge, and that the court finds
him mot guilty. on the first specif1ca-
ton, guilty" of the second specif1ca-
ton, attaching no criminality thereto,
and mot guilty. of the crime. The
court therefore acquitted Capt Ryan.
The court martial in this case was ap-
pointed by the president. The record
of the proceedings of the court having
been submitted to the president, he en-
dorsed it simply as follows:
1.-The proceedings and nndings in the
foregoing case of Capt. Jas. A. Ryan,
Fifteenth regiment of cavalry. are dis
approved',

Democratic Campaign In Mis-
souri, Given a Start.

Joplin, Mo-, Sept. 10.-The Democratic
campaign in Missouri was opened last
evening at a meeting attended by 5000
people. William ]. Bryan, who was the
principal speaker, talked at length on
the tariff question saying among other
things that it was time to take the tariff
off at least all kinds of trust made
goods. The country, he said, could not
look to the Republicans for reform in
tariff matters, adding:
There were more righteous men in
Sodpm and Gormorrah than there are
tariff reformers in the Republican
party" He declared that President
Roosevelt had no remedy for the trust
evil and that some of his utterances
on the subject were absurd Continuing
he said
"I tell you one trust magnate in
stripes behind the prison walls would
do more to break up trusts than all the
speeches the president can make. The
constitutional amendment the Republi-
cans are talking about is not meant for
the regulation of trusts but to take the
power to control trusts away from the
states and so protect trusts

STATE FIRE MARSHAL.
Insurance Men Make a Move
for One.

The mutual insurance companies OF
Kansas want a law passed by the legis-
known as the fire marshal law. creating
q new position, that of state flre mar
shah whose duty it shall be to assist in
hunting down those who are guilty OF
causing incendiary fires.
At the second days meeting of the
third annual convention of mutual in
surance companies of Kansas. at the
National hotel today, r. M. Scott, of
Pittsburg, introduced a resolution ask
ing the state superintendent of insur-
anee to draft law and arrange for its
presentation to the Kansas legislature
in January, to be known as the Kansas
fire marshal law, and which will con-
form to the similar laws of other states
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed and the delegates to the convention
pledged their support and help to Sc.
cure the passage of the law.
The law will assist the insurance COM
panieS in that it creates an Office the
duty of the occupant of which will be
to search out the authors of incendiary
fires and prosecute them. This it is
claimed will greatly reduce the risk
give them an added protection that they
claim is justly due them.
At the meeting today the subject of
a read1ustment of the hail insurance
cussed. The discussion will result in a
united action by the insurance COM
panies to classify the hail insurance
according to what kinds of grain is to
is situated 1t is claimed that the
higher the altitude the greater the risk.
Consequently the rates will be consid-
erably hie er in the western part OF
the state than In the eastern part. Sta
tistfcs show that the insurance COM
panfes have lost twice as much on in
surance of rye than from any other
grain. The loss is next greater on bar
ley and oats. respectively, and wheat
last.
The sessions of the insurance men
have pl oven profitable to the delegates
who have been in attendance. Late this
afternoon the election of officers for the
ensuing year will occur, and the place
of the next convention will be selected.
Charles Eldridge, who conducts the
old ClarksOn rating bureau, appeared
before the insurance men, and at some
length explained the details of his busi-
ness in estimating the ratings.

Gated the desire expressed by General
Botha that they should all live in
peace in future in South Africa. I'VE
want in this country" said the colonial
secretary, ssto forget and forgive; be-
cause If you think. as you well may,
that you have something to forgive, we
also think we have a great deal to for
give. But we want to put all that on
one side. The war is over. We each
fought as we'll as we knew how, and
now there is peace. All we want is to
recognize you as fellow subjects with
ourselves, working as we shall work for
the prosperity and liberty of South At
rica. How great that liberty is and
how soon complete self-government will
be extended to South Africa depends
entirely on the rapidity with which the
old animosities die OUT
Mr.. Chamberlain concluded with say
ing that the government would be glad
OF the cooperation of men like the gem
erals, who had Loyalty accepted the new
situation. As they wanted South At
rica to be happy abiding place for
all, he felt sure that If the burghers
met the British half way they would
find them quite as good friends in the
future as they had been loyal enemies
in the past
