Philippines Treason Acts.

Senator Rawlins introduced resolu-
ton making inquiry of the Secretary Of
War whether "the new Treason Act in
the Philippines has been passed by the
Philippine Commission.
The resolution cites circular purport-
ing to give the language of the act. One
provision makes the concealment OF
treason against the United States or the

other provides a fine of $4,000 and inn
prlsonment for two years for uttering
seditious words, and a third provides a
fine of $1,000 and Imprisonment for one
year for persons belonging to secret So
cieties having for their object the pro-
motion of treason.
Another prohibition is against advo-
eating the independence of the Philip
pines or their separation from the
United States, whether by peaceable or
forcible means" The penalty for the
infraction of this requirement is fine
of $4,000 and Imprisonment for a year
The resolution went over for future con-
Sideration.

Corps, Grasps the Hand of Mrs. Conger,

Pekin, (By Cable 1.-The Dowager
Empress, the Emperor and the Empress
received the ladies and children of the
members Of the Diplomatic Corps in the
private apartments Of the palace.
The Dowagcr Empress declared that
China would abandon her isolation and
adopt the best features of Western civil
ization.
The audience was the most revolt
tionary event since the return of the
court to Pelin. The exclusiveness Of
Chinese royalty and the prejudices
against the meeting of the sexes were
waived, and the function was less for
NAL than is usual in European courts.
The Dowager Empress occupied the
throne, with a brilliant assemblage OF
princesses and court ladies about her.
The Emperor was seated upon a small
platform in the center Of the room.
The visitors, upon entering, bowed
twice to the Emperor, and several OF
them assembled the throne and bowed to
the Dowager Empress. Mrs Conger,
wife of United States Minister Conger,
as doyeness of the Diplomatic Corps,
read a speech, which was translated by
Secretary Williams.
The Dowager Empress reply was ex-'
ceedingly friendly in tone. 1t was in
part as follows:
Last year the discussions in the palace
caused a revolution which compelled our
hasty departure, but it is great gratifi-
cation to lis that Our return to the capt.
tai has caused such rejoicing in China
and abroad
Baron Czikann, the Austrian minister,
and Doyen, of the diplomatic corps, pre-
scented al the ladies to the Dowager
Empress, who took the hand of each Of
them. They were next presented to the
Emperor, who also shook hands with

Drawn Into Machine and His Flesh Mutilated
In Horrible Manner.

Goshen, N Y. Especial -During the
process of filling one of the large ice
houses at Hurdtown. George Callahan,
aged sixteen years, lost his life in a
shocking manner.
The boy was arranging the lamps to
continue the filling of the house during
the night, when his foot slipped and he
was thrown on the conveyor that car
ries the cakes of ice from the water
into the building.
Before being carried into the house

planes it to a uniform thickness. To-
ward this planer the boy was carried,
and before he could be rescued by his
fellow-workmen be was drawn under
the knives OF tie machine, which cut

total cost Of the war for the year up to

mons that the contractors were making
enormous profits supplying horses to the
government for South Africa, and it
was declared that evidence before the

AMERICAN MEN AND WOMEN.
Greater Community of Interests Thar

Greater Community of Interests Than
In Any other Country.
America is the land of homes, and
taking into account the number OF in
habitants, no larger proportion OF its
inhabitants live in boarding houses
and hotels than do those Of England.
It is also to a much greater extent
than any other country Of the world
the land of equality and community
of interests between men and women.
II one takes the typical American
husband and wife one will certainly
find that their common interests are
many; that the wife is companion to
her husband, and that, knowing she Is
his intellectual equal, the American
man discusses freely and confidentially
with his wife his professional and
business relations to a far greater ex-
tent than does the typical English
man. Club life among married men Is
not nearly so common in America as
In England. Throughout the length
and breadth of the United States thou
sands upon thousands Of husbands and
wives spend their evenings reading to-
gether the books and magazines, or the
wife doing q bit Of fancy work or
mending while the husband reads aloud
from the newspapers. Many American
husbands and wives have taken up
what is known as the "ChautauQua
course; many a western farmer and
his wife thus spend their winter eve
nings. Then let us take the young
unmarried men and women of my
country. Surely they do not lead very
separate lives, and their interests In
common are many. Who takes the
American girl to the museums of art,
to the theater to the concert? Who
sends her presents Of bonbons, books,
and flowers, all for the pleasure Of her
society and companionship? 1t is the
American young man. He can do it,
too, without feeling that his attentions
will be misunderstood, for America Is
the land Of good comradeship between
men and women. There friendship,
deep and lasting, without any thought
of love making, or marriage, may ex-
list between the unmarried Of the two
sexes, and 1t seems to be the only
country in the world where it can ex-
list. Certainly such state Of things
between the young men and the young
women Of country points net to a
separation, but to community Of in
terests.-Elizabeth L. Banks in Lon
