where he is well known. His army
has been greatly augmented since he
began operations in that district The
plan of this insurgent chief is to cap

succeeds, will become the base of sup

Seattle, Wash, March 26.-Count
Matuskita, eX-premier of Japan and at
present senior member of the advisory
board to the emperor, who arrived
here with a distinguished Japanese
party on the steamer Kagu Maru, says
they are on an eight months trip
around the world to study economic
conditions. In speaking of the rela-
tiOns between America and Japan
Count Matsukita said:
The Japanese fully realize that it is
to their best interests to foster the
amicable relations existing with the
United States. This will not be hard
task, for the United States has i'm
mense interests in the far east, not
only in Japan, but in regions where
the friendship of Japan will be of
great value
THE increase in trade between the
two countries has been remarkable.
The prospects are that the trade will
continue to grow very fast. Naturally
hope that these relations will be
marked by reciprocity"

daughter to Death.
New York, March ga jury has
been secured and taking of testimony
has been begun at Mount Holly, N. j.,
in the trial of Mrs. Mabel Fenton
Haines, charged with causing the
death, by beating. of her stepdaugh-
ter. The motive alleged is hatred for
the dead mother of the child.
The trial is being held in the quaint
Mount Holly courthouse, which was
built in 1892. Great crowds besieged
the doors during the opening session
and the trial has caused widespread
interest.
The prisoner carried into the dock
her 4-months old child, which was
born in prison, while a 2-year-old boy
played about the space back of the
rail during the session. In opening the
case the prosecution charged that the
mother had told him that the children
were suffering from colds. He pro-
cured medicine and returned later and
told the physician that the child was
in convulsion. The physician hurried
to the house and found the child on
the floor frightfully cut and bruised.
He alleged there were no signs found
of the cOnvulsiOn, and he declared
that the child had been beaten to
death. The prisoner sat unmoved dur.
ing the rehearsal of the prosecution 8

trous to Chemist SchuItze.
New York, March 26-Overstudy is
believed by the physicians to have
shattered the mind of William Schult-
ze, chief chemist of the General Chem
ical company, of Jersey City, Passaic
and Bayonne. The physicians ordered
his removal from his home to a sani-
tarium.
Schultze is 35 years old and unmar-
ried. He came to this country from
Berlin four years ago, starting as a
clerk in the Bayonne plant. He was
advanced step by step. His knowl-
edge of chemistry came to him by
hard study. All his spare time was
spent over his books At night when
he returned home from the works he
would lock himself in his room and
seek the knowledge he so much de-
sired Daylight would find him still
poring over the volumes.
A few hours sleep seemed to satisfy
him. The strain, however, was so
great that his mind gave way.

SESSION OF THE HOUSE.
General Debate Resumed on Army Ap.

PiOPiiaGtOu Bill
Washington, March 26.-When the
house met today Mr.. Cooper, of Wis
constn, chairman of the committee on
insular affairs presented the Burleson
resolution Of inquiry calling upon the
president for information relative to
the reported application of Lieutenant
General Miles to be assigned to duty
in the Philippines for the purpose of
putting in operation a plan prepared
by him for the pacification of the is.
lands. The resolution was adopted
without debate
The house then went into commit
tee of the whole and resumed the
general debate on the army appropria-
tfon bill. Mr.. Warner, of Ohio, the
nrst speaker. protested strongly
against the provision in the bill which
deprived retired army officers from re.
ceiving an increase in longevity pay
after their retirement He contended
that this provision did an injustice to
officers who were wounded or had been
disabled in the service. The longevity
pay, he argued, should be increased up
to the maximum of 40 per cent allowed
by law to active officers.
