LONDON, May 24.-Comment-
ing on the Inauguration of the

Review TODAY say:
"The Americans have such a
genius for self-deception that the
fundamental hypocrisy of Tues
days ceremony at Havana may
really have escaped them. The
Americans have given up moth
ing of political value; their
authority instead of being direct
is now indirect, and that is all.
With q minimum of sacrifice they
have contrived to win a maximum
of applause. The skill of the per-
Torrance may be admired, but
there is no generosity in it, and
even less policy.

were blowing up Spanish trains

thought fit for self-government.

confidence that history will not

MUNCIE, May 22-The damage
suit of the Driscoll heirs against
the Big -Four railroad for 80, 600
damages for the killing of Mr..
and Mrs. William Driscoll, at a
crossing in Muncie few months
ago, has developed an interest
ing point.
Mr.. and Mrs. Driscoll were
killed at approximately the same
moment, Both have heirs with
distinct claims to the estate. If
Mrs. Driscoll died first the prop
erty reverted to her husband for
the few seconds that he survived
after she expired. In this event
the property. which is valued at
several thousand dollars, must
belong to his heirs-at-law. If
Mr.. Driscoll died first the prop
erty reverted to Mrs. DriscOll's
heirs. The attorneys for the
heirs of Mrs. Driscoll are at
tempting to prove that she died
first.

CATTLE PRICES UP
Following Injunction a Big Advance Ic
Made on Steers Highest Price
Since 1882.

CHICAGO, May %. Following
the issuance of the injunction to
Judge Grosscup restraining the
packers from manipulating the
prices of cattle and beef there
was an immediate advance in the
price of cattle at the stockyards
yesterday. A load of Texas
steers which arrived yesterday
morning sold at $685. hundred
pounds, the highest price paid
for Texas cattle since 1882. 9th
er cattle brought higher prices
than on the preceding day.
There was no change in the
price of beef, however,. Whole
salers who buy their meat of the
big packers predicted a rise in
the price of dressed beef within
the next few days. They did not
base the prediction on the belief
that the packers would violate
the injunction, but upon the fact
that the prices which cattle are
now bringing in the yards are
higher than have prevailed at
any previous time during the
year.
In spite of the fact that II, 600
cattle were received at the yards
yesterday, prices were the best
of many weeks. The buyers for
the big packing concerns showed
by their activity that the packing
houses are doing nearly as much
business as ever, for the market
was cleared of cattle early in the
day. The buyers made strong
effort to cause a break in prices
DIT the opening OF the bidding,
and a rumor was prevalent that
the receipts were 10000 instead
of II, 900, but the truth became
known before the commission
men could be induced to sell un-
der the market. The close of
yesterdays trading showed that
1000 more cattle were sold dur
ing the first three days of the
week than during the CORES
spending days Of last week. The
increasing demand at the stock
yards indicates that the public is
dropping the boycott of beef.

CHICAGO SCARES THE BISHOP
Thoburn T;lls Philippine Committee
Hong.Kong is Safer IIace.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May "a
Bishop Shoburn continued his
testimony before the Philippine
committee of the senate yester-
day. He was examined about
various phases of the situation,
and especially as to the rights of
the United States to dominate the
Philippine islands. He said in
reply to one question that chaos
would result if England were to
withdraw from India. England
had advanced civilization in the
far East. Hong-Kong was, he
said, better governed than Chi
cago, and human life was safer
there than in Chicago. He was
asked as to whether he thought
strong countries had the right to
subjugate weaker ones by force
and said that the question did not
apply to the United States and
the Philippines because the is.
lands were acquired by treaty.
Bishop Thoburn expressed the
opinion that the greater protec-
ton to personal rights in Hong
Kong than in Chicago was due to
the fact that the government has
a stronger arm in Hong-Kong
than in Chicago, "As a matter
of fact" he said I'VE all know
that in Chicago a man is not safe
in walking the streets at night,
while he is so in Hong. Kong. "

DYING MEN WRITE LETTERS
Several Miners Entombed at Coal Creek

borers and boy helpers. The
last find reported was that of
thirteen bodies in an entry and
with these were found letters
written by five men before life
became extinct.
One of these letters gave the
time of day it was written as $50
o'clock Monday afternoon, thus
indicating that these and perhaps
other entombed men lived many
hours after the explosion, which
occurred Monday morning at7:30
o'clock.
The letters gave general sug-
gestion of the suffering that was
undergone, indicating that the
men were gradually being stran-
gled to death by the foul and gas
eour air that was filling the
mine One piteously read:
''My God, for another breath. !"
The letters, in the main, were
directions to families as to what
disposition should be made of the
writer's bodies and business af-
fairs and instructions as to rails
ing the families. One unfortu-
nate who leaves neither father,
mother, brother, nor sister, adj
dressed his letter ''To Every
body" and pleaded that they
change their way of living.
