Mr. Hepburn was dated June and read
as follows:
Il beg to call your attention to the fact
that there is very general desire on the
part of the Grand Army of the Republic
that Congress may enact legislation at the
present session so that it will be possible to
lay the corner stone of the proposed me-
mortal bridge at the coming meeting of the
national encampment of the Grand Army
of the Republic, to be held in Washington
on the 9th of October next.
while do not speak for the President
of the United States, 1 satisfied that
such action on the part Of Congress would
be heartily approved.
In all probability it will be the last time
that the Grand Army of the Republic will
hold an encampment in the capital city,
and, as it will furnish very large part of
the sentiment 50 much desired in the pro-
lection of such a memorial, it would be
matter of regret If the corner stone could
not be laid in the presence of so many
surviving veterans of the great war for the
preservation of the Union.
II trust you will your way clear to
aid in bringing about the result indicated. 3"
Secretary Bullley of the citizens COM
mittee on the encampment acknowledges

the principal cities of America for the pur-
pose of extorting information.
The defense claims also to have proved
a the trial that the Filipino guide to whom
Major Glenn administered the water cure
was a traitor and ought, under all the laws
of war. to have been shot; that except for
the fact that he alone had certain informa-
tion he would have been shot; that the
guide was guerrilla and not even entitled
to the laws of war; that the presidente and
members Of the police force of the town
where the water cure was administered are
now In Bilibid prison in Manila on infOrma-
tiOn obtained through this guide. and that.
in addition, the water cure is being used in
the United States.
Major Glenns counsel declared also at
the trial that the water cure is regarded
a. a necessity in the Philippine Islands by
both Spaniards and insurgents; that it is
not dangerous to life and not especially
painful, although it is very unpleasant,
and that Major Glenn himself personally
underwent the water cure before he admin

same manner in which it was given to the
EiIipinO.

controversy by three arbitrators selected
in the usual manner
1T will be seen, therefore, that only one
member of the interstate commerce COM
mission has anything to do with labor ques-
uons. and those questions are confined to
disputes between railway companies en-
gagged in interstate commerce and their en-
ployes. The act contains no provision
whereby the present coal miners strike
could be affected. unless it SHOULD extend
to employees of the coal carrying roads.
The limited application of this statute
and the fact that it repealed the old arbi-
tration act of October l. 1888, have long
been understood, and were not discovered
yesterday at the Office of the commission,

AN INCORRECT STATEMENT.
Interstate Commission Cannot Arbi.
trate in Miners, Disputes.

The following statement was Issued to-
day by the interstate commerce commits
sion.
dispatches in the press this morning
say it has been discovered that the inter
state commerce commission is authorized
under the act of June /, 1885, to use its
services in bringing about settlement of
disputes between transportation companies
and their employees. This is incorrect. The
interstate commerce commission has no
powers or functions to perform under that
act, or in that behalf under any act. The
law of June /, 1898, provides that the chair
man of the interstate commerce commits
sion and the commissioner of labor shall,
upon request of either party, when such
disputes arise, use their best efforts by
mediation and conciliation TO amicably set
tie the matters involved and, if unsuc-
cessful in that way, they shall then en-
