THE HAND 0F SOB
 IN IHSuLAR AFFAIRS
Bishop Thobura Believes Providence
 is in the Philippines.

Washington, May 22.-Bishop Tho burn, of the Methodist Episcopal church of India and Maylay ysia, was be fore the senate committee on the Phil ippines today. He said American pccu- patton of the Philippines should be con tiruei. He sail the American occuDa- ton Was an act of God. This led to quite inng line of questions by Sena- tor Patterson, in which the bishop was asked whether the occupation of Cuba was an act of God, ana when he replied in the affirmative Senator Patterson asked him if the withdrawal also was an act of God.
 ''It is too soon to answer that" he said, "Uhe United States may have to go back there. Senator Patterson pur- sued the questions to some length and the bishop finally pronounced them metaphysical"
 Senator BeveridSe objected, saying the questions were unnecessary. and Senator Patterson remarked thrt whenever the questions were such as to bring out evidence which the ma iori ty did not want. an excuse was made for objection. Chairman Lodge sustained the objection. RishOp Thoburn twill continue tomorrow

OUR COMMERCE
 WITH CANADA
Growing in Spite of the Tariff Advan-
 tage Enjoyed by England.

Washington. May 22.-Canadu con tinues to increase her purchases from the United States. despite the tariff advantages accorded Great Britain in the fiscal system of that country During the nine months of the present fiscal year for which details are avail able, British North America showed q larger increase in it's purchases from the United States than any ether pCIi- tical division of America, as compared with those ot the corresponding per iods of 1900 and 1901. Our total eX- ports to British North America in creased from $69, 763 595 in the nine months Of 1900. and S77S94, 13S in the same period of 1901, to $80, ,999, GOA in the corresponding months of the current year. To Mexico the increase during the same period compared with that of last year was but two million dol lars. and to the West Indies one mill lion dollars, while the Central Amer ican states showed a decrease of about S300,000, and South America about S4,000,000 in their purchases from the Unite1 States during the nine months of the present fiscal year as compared with the same period of the preceding year.
 The continued growth in our com- merce with Canada is the more re- markable when it is remembered that ever since April 1897 the United King dom has enjoyed tariff advantages in the Canadian market, the discrimina- ton in her favor having ranged from 12R per cent in that year to S3 Is per cent from and after July, 1900. Yet the exports from the United States to British North America have increased year by year, and our total exports to that market in the nine months un- der review are $11 .235, ,409. or 16 per cent in excess of those for the same period of 1900. and S, 3,104,S66, or i per cent in excess of those of the corresponding months of last year.
 A comparison of our exports to Can ada in the first nine months of the present fiscal year with those. of the corresponding months immediate tely preceding the reduction in the Cana dian tariff in favor of Great Britain shows that our exports to Canada meantime have increased about I5 pel cent. being for the earlier period, $46, 1J295S. and for the nine months end ing with March, 1902, $S0, ,939.004.

Carthage, Mo, May 22.-Will Jones. the Joplin negro accused of criminal ly assaultinG Mrs. Parmenter of Webb City, wcs taken from the Webb City jail this afternon by the sheriff and a strong force of deputies to prevent his being lynched by mob gathered at the jail.

 Mrs. Parmeuter was called to identi- fy the prisoner. Jones was lined up With two other co!c:e5i prisoners in the corridor and the woman failed to rec oynize ary one Of the three as her assailant. Later in the evening the two f2rmcrs who frightened him away called and positively identified him as the one that ran from the woman as they approached in response tc her cries. Two boys who saw him in the immediate vicinity before the crime and who followed him as he ran and shadowed him till he vas arrested. also called and identified Jones as Mrs parmenter's ;:ssailant.

on their shoulders, taking turns about looking at the awful sight.
 The negro's head finally dropped and the ties were piled around and over him. In half an hour only the trunk of his body remained. As soon as tho heat would permit, the crowd with long sticks began a gruesome search for relics. Parts of the skull and body were gathered up by some and carried away. From the time the first fire was applied to the negro's body until the dying embers alone were left, the crowd yelled and cheered for the men who chased the negro.
 Section Foreman Mckee. husband Of the woman assaulted, applied the match to the faggots. Many women were present from the surrounding country, but owing to the great crush they had very little opportunity to see the negro until the heat forced the crowd to widen the circle and the flames leaped over him.

Washington. May 22.-A notable con- tribution to the discussion of the Phil ippines question was made in the sen ate today by MT. Hoar Of Massachu- setts His views on the subject are well understood, but his expression of them today was profoundly interesting and even impressive. When the vener- able senator began to speak every sen ator at the capitol was in his seat, and for the two hours and a half his }G- dress consumed he was accorded the most careful attention, not only by his colleagues on the floor, but also by the people in the thronged galleries.
 MT. Hoar confined himself closely to his manuscript. He denounced the at titude of the government in the Phil ippines as one or the most wicked and foolish chapters in American histor.-. He urged that the United States would withdraw from the Philippines and own government, as had been done in Cuba. He sharply arraigned General Funston for the methods pursued m the capture of Aguinaldo. and intimat- ed that had the senate been aware of the facts, General Funston might not have been confirmed in his recent pro motion. He hoped that as an irrevoca- ble step had rot been taken by inc United States. better ccunsels would yet prevail and this government would leave the Philippines.
 Spontaneous applause swept over the senate and galleries at the conclusion of his speech Such d demonstration

The action of the con- vention of the three district executive committees today no doubt had much to do with these rumors.
