wide attention.
Recently a prominent educator Of New

The Animal which Mitchell Rode
Displays His Activities-Now the
Candidate Wants $4,000 Damages.
Columbia, S. c., April 23.-The manip-
ulation in court at Yorkville to-day
of the wooden goat that is alleged to
have ruined for life Samuel w. Mitch
ell, and for which injuries he is suing
the Woodmen of the World for $4,000
damages, caused great merriment. The
compliments demanded the presence
of the goat. 1t was produced. BILLY"
was on wheels. There was a handle
behind and some powerful spring that
worked mechanically. Mitchelps at
torneys could not make the goat get
busy, so the defendants volunteered
their, services, one of them acting as
candidate. When the goat bucked. the
spectators and perhaps the judge
laughed.
Rev. j. L. oats testified for the de-
Tense that he had ridden the goat,
that he had walked by the side of
Mitchell during his ride. Mitchell had
laughed and called to the goat get
up and the goat got. Attendants,
however, caught Mitchell in the air
and landed him safely on his feet. He
said he was hurt and wanted to lick
the crowd. Doctors testified as to the
result of MitchelPs alleged injuries.
DR.. Baker of the South Carolina Medi-
cal College said he had examined by
microscope a very important part of a
mans anatomy sent him by Mitchell's
attorneys. The case will be concluded

GEN. DAVIS REPORT.
Strict Instructions as to Attitude of
Troops Towards Moros.

Troops Towards Moros.
Washington, April 23-Peculiar in
terest attaches to a report made pub
lie to-day by Gen. Corbin from Brig.
Gen. Davis, commanding the Seventh
seperate brigade, dated at Zamboanga.
March 4. 1t was in Mindanao that
Gen. Davis troops recently came in
collision with the Moros. Gen. Davis
instructions to his troops as to the at
titude to be observed by them towards
the Moros says:
"Mindanao and Jolo have now been
occupied by United States troops more
than two years, and during that time
there has been no overt act or resist
ance against our authority by Moros
or other Christians. But in some
extensive regions, it is said that the
inhabitants wish to remain isolated
and to exclude visits of Americans. 1t
is the military policy to endeavor to
overcome and counteract this idea, and
thoroughly to explore the country and
make known it's topography, physical
characteristics, resources and the num-
Der and character of its inhabitants.
During explorations and operations
in the territory occupied by nom
Christian tribes, the brigade command
er enjoins that the greatest prudence
be observed by all concerned to avoid
a conflict with these tribes, all of whom
that messengers be sent we'll in adj
vance of all expeditionary forces or
scouting parties to inform the inhabi-
tants of the coming of the troops on
peaceful mission of explorat ton and OBJ
seIVation."

COLOR LINE IN ALABAMA.
State Federation OF Labor Is All
Stirred UD on Subject.


Selma, Ala, April 2S-Plans by
which to obtain a meeting place sep
arate from the hall decided upon
by colored members of the organiza-
ton, precipitated heated discussion
of the color question among the della
gates of the Alabama State Fedora
ton of Labor which met in this city
to-day.
The appointment of a committee to
secure a more convenient hall in
which to hold the meetings" occupied
the morning session and it was
not until the afternoon session
that the committee reported another
hall had been found.
Delegate Mccartney favored the APP
pointment because it would present the
opportunity of ascertaining whether or
not the people of Selma would dis
credit the representative body of 10000
organized laborers. Mr.. Mccartney
said:
Rather than see one accredited dele
gate, black or white, turned out of the
convention, 1 would go to the woods
and hold the meetings."
John Beans, the colored vice presi-
dent of the organization, upon whose
invitation the federation met in Selma,
stated that he had gone to the board
of revenue and to other citizens trying
to get a hall
Delegate Randall of Birmingham said
if the people of Selma refused to give
them a hall, he favored going out into
the woods

TILLMAN CALLED DOWN HoAR.
charged Massachusetts Senator
With DiscOurtesy and Violation of
Rules-RawIins Continues Speech.

nuAes-NaWi1ns Continues speech.
Washington, April 23.-During to-
days session of the Senate Mr.. Raw
Inns of Utah continued his speech in
opposition to the bill providing for a
form of government for the Philippine
Islands. He devoted the greater part
of his speech to a discussion of the tes-
timony presented to the Philippines
Committee relating to the administra-
ton of the water cure" to natives and
to other forms of torture inflicted upon
the Filipinos. He had not concluded
his remarks when the Senate adj
journed.
During the early part of the session
the Dill providing for union railroad
station in Washington was under con-
sheraton, but no action was taken.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts partici-
pated in the debate on this bill and
soon found himself in discussion with
Mr. Tillman, who charged that the
Massachusetts senator had been dis
courteous to him, at which he was sur
prised, because the senator was always
a sticller for good order, senatorial
dignity and decorum and had set a
high example that senators might imi-
tate.
But the senator from Massachu-
setts," said Mr.. Tillman, "habitually
breaks certain rules of the Senate and
he should make allowance for those
of us who nave their foibles and short
comings.'"
Mr.. Tillman opposed the bill.
Mr.. Rawlins presented many cases
of torture of Filipinos, of the burn
ing of towns and of the incarceration
of Filipinos. All this, he said, was
done to carry to the Filipinos the
benign administration of the American
government The war, he said, was
to be waged relentlessly and vigor-
ously, and the articles of war were
to be cast to the winds. The war to
be waged was not to be a war of
humanity, but a war without mercy.
1t was uncivilized warfare and with
out excuse.
Mr.. RaWlins said that Walters men
performed the most thankess and I'M
honored task ever soldiers were call
ed upon TO perform. The troops were
ordered To make the island a "howling
wilderness" and kill everybody over
the age of ten years.
Senators Mcmillan of Michigan, Ell
kins, of West Virginia and Berry of
Arkansas were appointed conferees on
the river and harbor bill.

THE INDIANA REPUBLICANS.

MIR. Beveridse. Speaking for Adj
ministratiOn, UphO1ds Trusts ana
Lauds Policy i'm Philippines.
Indianapolis, April 23.-Much oratory
and enthusiasm marked the opening
of the Republican state convention in
Tomlinson Hall this afternoon. Sena-
tor A. ]. Beveridge delivered an elo-
quent address, in which he outlined
the principles upon which the Repub-
licans of Indiana will enter the next
campaign, and although the Commit
tee on Resolution has not yet reported,
it is understood that the planks in the
platform will not vary widely from the
general statements made by Senator
Beveridge.
The senator declined to say that he
was the mouthpiece of the administra-
ton of President Roosevelt, but would
not deny that what he had to say re-
garding national issues had been, in
large measure, approved at Washing
ton.
Senator Beveridge devoted a consid-
cradle portion of his speech to trusts,
which he upheld as a natural develop
ment of American industry and as
cheapening prices and furnishing en-
ployment for labor at higher wages.
Such evils as they developed, he said,
must be controlled by national super
vision under a development of COM
merce. Senator Beveridge lauded the
administration policy in the Philip
pines as one of beneficence; supported
reciprocity as affording a market for
surplus manufactures and praised
President Roosevelt as conspicuously
American.
Senator Fairbanks also addressed the
convention, which, after choosing Sem
ator Beveridge as permanent chairman
and transacting routine business, adj
journed until tomorrow.
The mention of Senator Hanna's
name by one of the speakers was gen.
erously applauded.

CAPT. CLARK DECLINES.

Does Not Feel That He Can Afford
the Coronation Trip and Admiral
watson Succeeds Him.
Washington, April 23.-Capt. Charles
E. Clark has declined the appointment
of special naval representative at the
coronation of King Edward, and the
President has named Rear Admiral
Watson for that mission.
The declination of Capt Clark to be
a member of the American embassy to
the coronation is viewed with general
regret. However, 1T is realized that the
mission for which Capt Clark was slat-
ed involves personal outlay and for en-
tertainment and exchange of courte-
sizes of very formidable character,
and entirely beyond his private means.
Admiral Watson succeeded Admiral
Dewey in command of the naval forces
in the Philippines, where he was called
upon to discharge important duties.

Probably the direct cause of the is

tend the banquet to be given in Bos-
