 Washington, May 5.-Ii vindication of the administration policy in the Philippines, MT.

 tations cast on the president, the secre- tary of war and the army for the alleg- ed cruelties and atrocities said to have been practiced in the Philippines. He said every effort had been employed by the officials in authority to prevent such cruelties as had been referred to them, and measures had been taken to punish those guilty of them, Such things, however, were incidents of every war and could not be prevented absolutely. He had no defense to make of many of the cases of torture which had been cited, but the men of the American army had been provoked all most beyond human endurance. He re- cited scores of instances of cruelties and tortures practiced by the Filipino insurgents on American prisoners, Men had had their ears cut off; had been disemboweled; had been driven into streams and, while drowning, shot to death; had been tied to trees and ston- ed to death by women and children; and buried alive. Others had been shot and boloed treacherously while succor- ing the wounded.

Objection to the Bond Issue Asked for the Board of Education and Approved by the Board of Ftnance-Peari Street Extension Matter Tabled Until Next Meeting-Report on Invitation to the Engineers Convention.
Engineers Convention.

The board of aldermen last evening at the regular May meeting of the board voted to accept the report of the lamp committee on the new electric light contract, accept the recommenda- tion and adopt the contract. The re- port was taken from the table where it was consigned at the last meeting, and Alderman filling moved that the rec commended contract be adopted. Alder man Wallace spoke at some length on the matter and said that while he thought that the price named in the contract was more than the city ought to pay yet he thought it was as good contratc as could be secured. He thought under the contract the city could not be bound to use any certain number of lights for four years and that under it the city could at any time during the four years, if 1t was so de- sired, change to some other system of lighting. Alderman Miller also spoke in favor of the contract and it was adopted.
 In reply to the resolution referred to the committee directing an inquiry as to the advisability of adopting some other system of lighting the committee reported that inquiry had been made but that the committee was not pre- pared to recommend any change, The report was accepted

GREATLY CONDEMNED CARS.
Not at ALI Beautiful, but These Fish
Have Good Sense.

Not at ALI Beautiful, but These Fish
Have Good Sense.
Nearly all the inland waters of south
ern and middle America are infested by
the long-snouted and toothful. thous.i
not toothsome, gar. In the Mississippi
it occasionally reached size that
makes 1t hurtfI! to adult swimmers
and dangerous to children.
Cars have been taken from the Mis-
sissippi which measured eight feet in
length and weighed nearly 200 pounds.
These sullen monsters are not afraid
of anything and are more apt to attack
a swimmer than are many kinds of
sharks. Plenty of people living along
the big river bear scars on their arms
or thighs from gar teeth.
In the small lakes, however, they do
not often attain a greater weight than
six or eight pounds and measl in
length from eighteen to thirty-six
inches. These are not big enough to
hurt human beings, but play smash
with the anglers bait.
The CARS jaws are as formidably
armed as those of the muskallonge. 1t
has row upon row of teeth, some as
sharply pointed as needles and others
having slieing. cutting edges to them.
These jaws are nearly half as long as
the fish's body and work like pair
of scissors. as certainly and more rap
idly.
The gar is the only one of our fishes
able to cut silk line of any size, no
matter how small and it does this with
quietness and precision highly exas-
perating. There are many waters, good
bass waters, which fishermen have
been compelled to desert. fishing them
with success being rendered impossi-
BILE by the gars.
The gar has sense. 1t is almost i'm
possible to hook 1t in the usual way
even when 1t takes the attached bait.
which does not happen often.
The interior of the snout is a hard.
bony substance with.a thin stretching
of skin over 1t. and the hook will not
sink in sufficiently to hold. In gen.
eral. however. the gar. which is ex-
ceedingly wise. will not seize the bait.
Instead 1t swims near. makes a sur
vey. carefully locates tie line swims
nearer. opens its jaws, makes a snip
and then eats the mlnnow or frog at
leisure. All that the angler feels is the

Broom Corn.

Almost every family has one or more
brooms in the house, and very few have
any idea where the broom corn comes
from, or how it came to be grown here.
We may have told before, but 1t will
bear to be repeated, that Benjamin
Franklin picked the first seed that
were ever planted here from an import
ed broom, and sent them to a lady
friend to be planted. In 1899 the State
Of Illinois had 95,137 acres in broom
corr, and produced G0,G65, $50 pounds,
valued at $2,357 ,066 in the hands of the
growers. Kansas had 34,3s3 acres. and
Ire product was 11.S13.310 pounds,
worth $45S, 4S1. Oklahoma had 1896
acres and a crop Of 3.41S.490 pounds,
worth $129.Sf3. and Missouri with TO-
219 acres had 3.693,93O pounds. worth
$3.50, 800 1t viii be seen that the larg
est acreage does not always produce
the largest crop or the most money.
Texas had 3,T43 acres and a crop Of L.
63S. $50 pounds. worth S60,313; Arkan-
sgs $40 acres, producing 100000, worth
Sl2.55s, and Indian Territory. 397 acres.
with 147, 020 pounds, worth $I.01S
There are amounts grown in other
States that bring the total crop up to
9O.947 $40 pounds In 1899. and that was
thought a short year. though the yield
was probably less in 1900. California.
Iowa. Nebraska and Tennessee are
among the other States producing
broom corn The value of the broom
corn crop averages about $50 per ton.
or $50 an acre.

Coat sleeves are OF many varieties.
Even on plain jackets an odd cuff will
give character to an otherwise undis-
tinguished sleeve. Sleeves of two ma
terials are not uncommon. Sometimes
the top part is of cloth trimmed with
braid or passementerie, the lower part
heavy lace or embroidery. Others are
of velvet at the top and Of silk or satin
below. Elbow sleeves are to- be
worn all winter for evening. They
are very elaborate, some designs being
made to bear no end of trimming
and applique work, Lace, passementerie,
embroidery and braiding enter largely
into their makeup. Ruffles, tucks, pleats
and gathers galore are used on all sorts
of sleeves and for all occasions. The di-
versity to rule is made clear by the ac-
eompanying sketches. In the initial pic
ture were capped bishop sleeves finished,
