LET NO GUILTY MAN ESCAPE.

Let no guilty man wholly escape is the rule laid down by President Roose- welt for the wearers of our uniform in the Philippines. At all events that is his decision in the case Of Lieutenant Preston Brown, Second Infantry This officer. Kentuckian by birth. was tried by court martial at Manila for murder. The specifications was that he ..did wilfully, feloniously, and with malice aforethought, murder and kill by shooting with a pistol an unarmed, unresisting Filipino, name unknown, q prisoner of war in his charge, and as q result of said shooting the native did then and there s.die.' On this charge he was tried by court-martia1 of brother officers and found guilty. except that the word 'manslaughter'' was substituted for murder The sentence of the court was that Lieu tenant Brown should be dismissed from the service of the United States, and then will be confined at hard la- bor in the United States penitentiary for the period of five, years. On the 27th of January this sentence was commuted by President Roosevelt to a falling back of thirty-fve points in the line of promotion, and to forfei- ture of one-half of his pay for nine months, and thereupon he was restored to duty. Such severity to a member of one of the proudest families of Kentucky for the mere killing of a ''nigger" was astounding. Lieutenant Brown was naturally indignant He appealed to the President against the harchnaSc nf tho thiptvfiya noinfs an5 the docking of his pay. The Presi- dent, according to our Washington dis patches, has set his face like q flint against any further reduction of the sentence. He is determined that the guilty shall be punished.-New York Evening Post.

CANAL BILL TAKEN UF.
Senator Morgan Opens the Debate
 Nicaragua Route Urged.

WASHINGTON, June 5.-Discussion of the project of constructing an isth- milan canal was begun by the senate yesterday. Mir. Morgan (Ala.), chair man of the committee on interoceanic canals, opened the debate, speaking nearly three hours. A considerable DOT ton of his speech was devoted to an examination of the recently suggested danger to the Nicaragua canal route by seismic disturbances. This danger, he concluded, after a careful review of many authorities, existed only in the imagination of those who desired to defeat any canal project. His study of the situation had convinced him that really there was greater danger from volcanic and earthquake disturbances to the Panama route than to the Nica- ragua route, but he was satisfied that little danger to either was to be antici- pated.
 MT. Morgan reviewed at length the political conditions in Colombia, find ing in them a grave menace to the United States in the construction of canal by the Panama route. He pre- scented also the present phases of the diplomatic negotiations looking to the building of a canal by both the Mica ragua route and by the Panama route. He closed with a strong appeal for the passage of the Nicaragua bill.
 The debate on the antianarchy bill continued all day in the house. 1t was without sensational features, being con- fined almost entirely to the legal and constitutional phases of the question. MT. Jenkins (Wis) and MT. Parker (N. J.) contended that the bill did not go far enough: that the killing of the president should be made punishable by death without any limitation what ever.
 Mr. Powers (Mass.) and Mir. Nevin (O.), the other two speakers, supported the measure as it came from the com mittee

 A degree of LIs. D. was also bestowed upon Secretary of Agriculture James Wilson, MT. Robert S Brooks of St. Louis, Secretary of the Interior E. A. Hitchcock and MT. B. T. Galloway of the agricultural bureau at Washington.
 MT. Clemens made q speech which kept the great audience convulsed with laughter for twenty minutes. Secreta- ry Wilson was the object ofsseyeral of his wftticisms.
 Mir. Clemens in the course of his ad- dress to the students referred feelingly to his recent visit to his old home in Hannibal. He said it had been q week full of emotions for him. Passing to 8 lighter vein, he referred to q newspaper article in which it was said he had stolen peaches and watermelons when he was a boy.
 ..I honestly do not think stole ton of peaches altogether when I was a boy" said the humorist. And we did not call it stealing peaches. We called it taking them. Everybody took peaches in those days, young and old, and we thought it was all right.
 s.As for watermelons, once l stole-I mean removed-a watermelon. 1 took it out of a wagon while the vendor was arguing with customer, and l re moved it to the secIusion of lumber yard It was green. Then l was sorry l sat down to reflect. Reflection led to reforming I decided had done wrong Ito steal green watermelon-and returned it to the man. But l made him give me a ripe one for it''
