BOSTON TEA-PARTY BOWL.
Rhode Island Collector Has the vea-
erable Relic That Figured In the
Tea T0ssinw Event.

The famous historical punch bowl
of the Boston tea party has Just
fallen into the hands of a Rhode Is
land collector of antique furniture,
colonial blue ware and original and
early Shakespeare prints, reports the
Boston Globe.
On the 10th of last December Mars
den j. Perry, Providence railway
magnate and a banker with a for
tune of several millions, married
Mrs. Marian Lincoln Rogert at
Worcester, Mass. and they went to
Providence to reside permanently in
the residence of Mr.. Perry, at George
and BENEFIT streets, on the aristo-
cratic East side of that city.
The new home of the bride was a
marvel in it's interior decora tions,
ana there were many very attractive
and costly articles of ornamentation,
toge Ter with an elaborate display
OF valuable colored ware incidental
TO the foundation of the United
States and its early history The ex-
istence of such collection in her
new home caused GIrs Perry to sur-
gest to her wealthy husband that
within his grasp was the celebrated
punch bowl of the revolutionary
period, when high priced and over
taxed tea was cast upon Tire waters
of Boston bay, and there was a cele-
bration and great rejoicing incidental
thereto.

Secretary Root SAYS Army is q
Necessity There.
(Er. Associated Press.l

WASHINGTON, D. c.. Jan. 9,-Secre
tary Root gave an interesting exposition
of the condition of affairs in the Philip
pines, together with the outlook for
. terminating military by civil rule in the
course Of a hearing to-day before the
Committee on Military Affairs OF the
House OF RepreseI- tatives.
The discussion Of the Philippine condi-
tons was brought out by question OF
Mr.. Hay, of Virginia, as to whether civil
government could be maintained in tho
Islands without the presence of the army.
In reply, Mr.. Root stated that the army
was accessory as moral force TO NAM
tain the. civil administration now estab-
lished. One of the main causes, ne SAID,
why there had not been more progress in
the Philippines was that the Spooner
amendment, passed by Congress last
ar am, zee eng the grant of fran
chises, had the effect Of preventing the
+ i,,s-estrart Of c~ NAL and the -colsequeuC

CLIFTON FORGE, VA, January q
The death of J. NJ. Schaffer, the
liquor runner who was blown through
the roof of the burned building at the
Iron Gate explosion yesterday, is now
only question or few hours. The
condition OF Armstrong and Brecken-

last degree. is somewhat more hopeful
than last night.

Although the fire is still burning and
will for some time be dangerous should
a high wind arise, the worst is thought
to be over. The conaagration might have
been more serious than already stated

Post tomorrow Will say:
The case OF Rear-Admiral schley is
now being considered by the Attorney
General for the purpose OF discovering
whether there was any illegality in con-
nection with the court OF inquiry. 1t is
understood that in the recent conference
between the President and Fear-Admiral
Schley. the latter pointed out some alleged
violations Of law in regard to the court,
and these matters have been deemed
worthy OF examination.
The Attorney General is not to pass
upon the merits OF the case, but viii
deal solely with its legal phase, II he
shall ind that the court was property
constituted. tina. the precept was legally
drawn and that the rules of law were
followed as TO the evidence IL will then
be within the province OF the President
to consider the case upon its merits. II

we're illegalities. as claimed by Admfras

IRON GATE, VA, Jan. 9.-The burning
of the Moffatt tannery here is sad blow
to the laborinS people of this section.
The explosion under the leach house,
a Very heavy building. was heard and
felt all over the town. The cause will
perhaps never be known. though it is be-
lieved it came from the bursting os 4
large boiler. Mr.. Schaffer, who worked
by the side Of this boiler, was blown
through the side of the house, carving
the weather boarding with him. His al
most lifeiess body was picked up in an
adjoining garden.
Mrs. Schafferswas the first woman on the
scene. She administered relief TO the suf-
fererS. Her presence of mind was Won
derful and her kindness q blessing. The
fire company from Clifton Forge, which
was called out, could do but little work
for lack of water. The tank was burned
along with the engine house. and the
pumps were surrounded by fire. Sixty

WASHINGTON. D. c., Jan. 9.-The SEN
ate COMMITTEE on Military Affairs to-day
UNANIMOUSLY. agreed upon a report on the
case making charges against Lieutenant.
Colonel II. .. S. Heistano, of the army
and the report was presented to- the sen
ate by Senator Cockrell as soon as tnat
body convened
The report contains q concise state
nent of the facts in the case, as brouSht
out by the inquiry, and casts no reflection
upon any of the officers of the govern.
1nent whose names were mentioned IN con-.
nection with the case. sss54f#
+ GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS. s.srf.s5;t
K flhe report cites the charge quoted in
the resolution of inquiry that colonel'
,Heistand was in 1899 engaged In forming
{; combination for the purpose of con-.
trolling the hemp production of the Phil
ippine Islands, and that the names Of
Assistant Secretary Me.klejohn, Assistant
Acknowledgement Boyd, Assistant Score
tary Allen and Acknowledgement Coroln
had frequently been mentioned by MN as
associated with. him in the enterprise
The committee finds that this charge is
not true.
With regard to the second charge, IN
volving Government officials, the com"
rittee finds that Heistand and Hawks
canvassed the possibility of interesting
those whose names are mentioned IN the
resolution. The committee also finds that
Hawks made q claim upon Hels stand Lor
compensation for services but the charge
that Assistant Secretary Meklejohn guar
anteed to Hawks a position in the Gov
eminent service in part settlement ct tins
claim. is not sustained by the committee,
but it is found that Meiklejohn did, IN
March, 1900. appoint Hawks to the posi-
ton of inspector Of the customs service
in the Philippine Islands. but that this
appointment was revoked by Secretary
Root in the May following.
UNAUTHORIZED.
Other findings are: That while Hell
stand was the protector Of the hemp
company, he was not authorized to rep.
resent the other Government officials. who
were engaged with him; that the matter
OF the adjustment Of the tariff was never
mentioned directly or indirectly by Col
Beistand to General Corbin. Assistant
Secretary Meiklejoln. Assistant At
tor7,ey-General Boyd, or Assistant Sec
rotary Allen; that Heistand asked Gen
eral Corbn to take stock, and that the
latter first assented and then declined
The committee finds that the letter of
commentator of Hawks of date July
Is. 1899, signed jointly by Col. Heistand,
Assistant Acknowledgement Boyd and AS
sistant Secretary Meklejohn, was not
signed officially by, these officers, ard
also that the words The Government WI

copy of that letter.

DAYS a substitute to enable the President
