Story Of Slaughter Told by Man
Who Never Was i'm Action.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17.-Several months
ago a paper in Pennsylvania contained
what purported to be letter written by
William j. Longenberger, of Company A.
Fifteenth Infantry. to his mother, in Dan
vile, Pa. In it he was made to say that
the dead bodies of the Filipinos lay around
on all Sides unburied, in various stages or
decomposition and that when a Filipino
dropped "our boys all shot him seven or
eight times, so that he was covered with
blood from head to foot" This story OBJ
tanned general circulation and was the sub
ject of considerable criticism against the
army.
The matter was made the subject of an
official Investigation by General Chaffee,
then in command of the Philippines. with
the result that the story was shown TO be
without foundation. Private Longenperser
is the reputed author of the letter. and ne
wrote to the commanding ofncer or ms
regiment that the story gives mistaken
impression II heard the story from an
other enlisted man." he stated, land have
never Witnessed the death OF native IN
the Philippines. and l now believe tnat the
story told me was only idle boasting.
First Lieut.. E. NJ. Reeve, commanding
Company A, of the Fifteenth Infantry, re-
ports that the man who wrote the letter
mentioned is member of his company and
Ibis record shows that he has never been
in action nor near the scene OF one. IN
fact, he has never seen Filipino die, not
even from sickness The whole af1alr Is
the work of his Imagination and there Is
not a word of truth in 1t.

WASHINGTON. Oct 17.-Secretary Shaw
telegraphed instructions from Chicago this
morning to the Treasury Department to
give notice that he will purchase for the
sinking fund on Friday and Saturday, the
18th and 18th inst. any United States four
per cent. bonds of the loan of 1925 and pay
for them at the rate of 1879 and interest
to date of purchase. Following is the OFF,
cial statement of the secretary:
by virtue \of the authority contained in
Section 1884 of the Revised Statutes, notice
is hereby given that this department will
purchase for the sinking fund on Friday
United States four per cent. bonds Of the
loan Of 1925. and pay for them at the rate
of 137% and interest to date of purchase
The department will also receive the same
class of bonds on Monday, the goth inst,
and pay for them as purchased the 18th.
Prepaid interest and missing coupons
will be deducted at the face value thereon
from the purchase price of the bonds. AS
the books OF this loan are now closed
against transfers, the interest due Nov. l
on registered bonds, upon which interest
has not been prepaid, Will also be deducted
and will be paid in the usual way by check
to the owner of record.
Registered bonds should be assigned in
due form to the Secretary of the Treasury
for purchase and the assignment should
be dated and witnessed by one of the off,
GERS named in the note printed on the back
of the bends.
BONDS may be presented at this depart
ment division of loans and currency, or at
the office of the assistant treasurers of the
United States at New York.
The action of Secretary Shaw in offering
to buy bonds for the sinking fund to relieve
the present stringency in the money mar
ket is favorably commented on by finan-
ciers here. 1t is pointed out that the SIS.
0OO.0 900 tours which the secretary expects to
obtain under this offer will result in put
ting into circulation in principal and inter-
est about $20, 100000. Although the secre-
tary's offer was not made public until noon
to-day the assistant treae lrer at New
York at 4 o'clock reported 20 the depart
ment that 81, 2O3, 400 had been already de-
posted in the subtreasury there. OF this
amount S, OOO, 900 were in tours. the accept
ance of which the secretary has had under
consideration for several days. 1t Is ex-
pected that by tomorrow night at least
81, 900, 900 additional will have been offered
and accepted.

1t is evident that the Democrats who
made the state platform, upon maturer
consideration, reconsidered their declared
purpose to make the management of the
affairs Of Indiana an issue. Doubtless they
have discovered that all the facts are
against them. and that comparisons would
do them great harm. The fact that one
Democrat sits upon every board of trustees
and that two Democrats are members of
half of those boards interferes with par
tisan criticism. The fact that all the books
are open and that they show careful man.
agement of the States affairs is a further
deterrent. Under Republican rule men in
other States who are best qualified to Judge
declare that during the last six years In
diana has come to first place among the
States in the management of its chari-
table and correctional institutions.

The statement that "Mr. Mitchell has
forced consideration of nine out of thirteen
demands submitted by him five months
ago" is very erroneous. He never SUBJ
mitted but three demands. In his dispatch
of May to the Civic Federation, which
was trying to prevent a strike, he stated
the demands Of the miners as follows
THAT an increase Of 20 per cent. should be
paid on present prices to all men perform
ing contract work. that eight hours should
constitute a days labor for all persons en-
ployed by the hour. day or week. without
any reduction in their present wage rate,
and that coal should be weighed and paid
for by weight whenever practicable" This
statement was made by Mr. Mitchell over
his own signature a few days before the
strike was ordered, and 1t is conclusive as
to the grounds of the strike.

A Golf Reminiscence.

When we played shiny long ago
Our clothing did not fret US.
We coats of sunset glow
Our mothers would not let us.
Oh, We were cotish in our glee:
We loved to prance and whinny;
We asked no 'niblick" and no tee
When we were playing shiny.
Oh. where are those companions now
The thin boy called fatty
The boy i'll clad. with grimy brow:
The boy SO neat and natty?
The boy who was very fat
His comrades named him skinny
There is no friendship here like that
We knew while playing Skinny.
Perchance one day a club I'll take
And set the golf ball flying.
At least an effort / may make;
There's naught, you know. like trying
But 1 shall miss those boyish friends.
So freckle faced and grinny;
No modern game can make amends
For those lost hours of shiny.

About $50, 600, 900 to BE Released.

CHICAGO. Oct. 17.-Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw, who is making campaign
tour of this section, was at the Auditorium
Hotel to-day and in referring to the treas
ury offer to purchase United States bonds.
as announced from Washington, said:
What amount Of bonds will be delivered
on this proposition cannot say, but I
have assurances indicating that the pur-
chase will aggregate at least SIS, 900, 900 face
value, which will release little over $20,-
coo 600. So soon as the government becomes
a purchaser, prices advance. Conditions
which, have made the purchase of bonds adj
visable are by no means local. The Sep
TENDER statement revealed the. fact that
the banks of Lincoln, Neb., which should
have had IS per cent reserve had Jess than
IS per cent, and the banks of Des Moines,
which should have had rs per cent, had
less than 20 per cent. While the money for
the bonds has gone largely to Eastern hold
ers Ii will very naturally find its way into
all channels of trade"
Secretary Shaw left this afternoon for
Warsaw, Ind, where he will make speech
tonight going from there to Detroit
where he will speak tomorrow night.

WFriends" of Indians Scored.

WASHINGTON, Oct I7.-Lieut. Col.
Randlett, u. S. A.. In charge of the Kiowa
Indian reservation in Oklahoma, in his
annual report to the commissioner of In
dian affairs, vigorously assails the Indian
Rights Association and the Government
Board of Indian Commissioners. The at
tack is brought out by statements made
at the last Lake Mohonk On. W Indian
Conference which the agent alleges are
Misrepresentation. 1T is apparent" says
the report that the time has come when
the righteous should. in praying for the
interests of this agency, plead God save
them from their friends the Board of In
dian Commissioners and the Indian Rights
Association, the latter having developed
as allies of grating attorneys who seem
bent on rObbing the Indians OF the mag
unanimous provisions made for them by the
act of Congress of June 6, 1900. Thus is
encouraged the constant demand of legis-
lators and Congress that the possessions
of the Indians of this agency be taken
from them and Is engendered the want of
confidence and distrust which Is disturbing
the minds of the Indians who have raised
the question, What calamity have we TO

A Syndicate's Offer.

NEW YORK. Oct. H.-It was definitely
learned at the National City Bank to-day
that a syndicate headed by that bank is to
sell SIS. 10000 4 per cent. bonds to the gov
eminent. The syndicate is made up Of the
National City Bank, Harvey Fisk & Sons,
Fisk G. Robinson, Farson, Leach & Co. and
Vermilye & Co. The government having
agreed to the purchase Of $5.00O0O0 at 1873
fiat, and any amount more of these bonds
at the price named in Secretary Shaw's
offer, 100000 were turned In to-day by the
syndicate and the remainder will be put in
later. Some of the members of the syndi-
cate are turning their bonds over to the
National City Bank for delivery at the SUBJ
treasury and others are turning the bonds
into the subtreasury direct, but the gov
eminent checks made out at the subtreas-
Jury in payment will all be made out to the
credit of the National City Bank, which
will make the distribution among the men,
bers of the syndicate. Vice President Van
derlip, of the National City Bank. has rep
resented Secretary Shaw in the negotia-
tions with the remainder of the syndicate.

MIR. CLEVELAND AND THE TARIFF.

There can be doubt that ex-President
Cleveland enjoys the respect of many in
telligent Republicans. In spite of several
grave blunders which he was led into by
his wall-street friends. like the selling of
bonds to a syndicate without advertising,
and advising acceptance of half OF the Pa
cific Railroads cues to the government,
the best public opinion is that he is an up
right and patriotic man IL not a states
man. He is large enough to publicly in
dorse a measure of his political opponents
which meets his approval. just as thou
sands of Republicans indorsed his action in
the Debs strike and in the Venezuela af-
fair. In this respect he stands in marked
contrast with David Bennett Hill. who has
criticised every act OF his political oppo-
nents. While In the Senate Mr. Hill did
all he could to embarrass President Cleve-
land without any apparent reason than
jealousy. No hope OF political preferment
could have induced Grover Cleveland to
advocate the seizure OF the anthracite coal
mines under the governments right OF emil
nent domain. as did Ex-Governor Hill. Mr.
Cleveland a. Governor OF New York would
not have had Republican counted out

vesting is progressing favorably In Den,
mark. Rye and wheat are Of normal
yield and good quality. The wheat crop OF
Italy, according to present indications, Will
be approximately 130.O00,000 bushels. The
recent rains In Argentine entirely saved
the crops, and it is expected that the yields
will exceed last year by over 40 per cent.
Wheat areas in Australia have been
helped by heavy rains. Generally favora-
BILE reports of coming crops have been
received from all provinces of India The
rice crop of Japan, hurt by the wet sum-
mer, probably will be below the average.
The official estimate of Spain is that that
country will have the largest wheat crop
for many years, and will have a consid-
cradle surplus for expectation.
The Nile flood this year is the lowest IN
the last twenty-five years, and although
the scarcity of water will partly be COM

by the British government, the crops In

"Fair Competition" in Germany.

WASHINGTON, Oct. I.-Consul Warner.
at Leipzig, informs the State Department
that the term fair competition" Is held
in Germany to cover all methods that tend
to injure competitor, either indirectly, by
concealing the quality of goods. unlawful
use of trademarks directly, as in the
disparagement Of his business or wares
Many countries have laws against such
practices, but Germany has gone further
than any nation, and is fighting the evil.
not with civil, but with criminal law. Con-
sui Warmers report touches the working
of this law, which has only been in oper-
alton since 1896. He shows that 1t strikes
at the evil of fraudulent advertising, false
declarations of methods of production and
sources of supply and reasons for setting:
and especially against false statements OF
cost and selling price of goods. Any busl-
ness man has the right to bring suit against
his opponent who does these things, and
the penalty is fine and for the second
offense Imprisonment. Employees are also
prohibited from disclosing business secrets
under heavy penalty. Mr.. Warner says
that the law has been pronounced very
beneficial by the Berlin business men, and
it is being enforced with the greatest strict
