word about it TO anyone. It was
not accident that sent "ou there, but
Divine Providence.
A few days later the boys father
received a sum OF money, with in
structions to br ing his boy to Phila-
delphia. and both arrived here on
October %.
Two DAYS later the boy was taken
to the University Hospital and placed
under DR.. De Forrest Willard and DR..
James X. Young the former being
the head of his profession IN ortho-
poedic surgery in the country and the
latter an orthopoedic surgeon Of wide
repute
After two days consultation they
decided to perform an operation
known as double astragolectony. and
on the following Wednesday DR.. Will
lard operated on one foot and Dr..
Young on the other. the operations
being pert ormed simultaneously and
occupying two hours The little feet
were literally cut apart, bones ex-
tracted. and then the feet We're re-
constructed in a plaster cast, which
moulded them to natural shape,
reversing their position and so max
ing them uoint to the front. For
five weeks these casts were kept on
the feet. and when removed disclos-
ed two little feet looking as natural
as possible.
Then came the struggle to teach
the little 7-vear-old child how TO
walk. For months the old instinct
to hop and turn the feet backward
was paramount and sadly 1nterfered
with the special boots and braces
which had been made for him..
Every day the little drumstick legs
were scientifically massaged to devel-
90 the muscles, which had never
been used before, and part Of each
day was spent in the hospital gym
naslum, and it was only question
OF time when the child would walk
naturally. and that time arrived to-
dav.
At the hospital IT was said that
tht child S board had been paid reg
ularly, bat they Cad net know bv
whom. The father arrived from West
Virginia last night with money sent
him by the same mysterious donor,
and it was only by accident that the
name of the philanthropist was dis
covered.

THE PHILIPPINE DEBATE.
SENATOR DOLLIvER DEFENDS THE AD-
MINISTRATION AND THE ARMY.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE.1

Washington May 19-Only speech was
made in the Senate to-day the Philippine
Civil Government bill. Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa,
who since his promotion to the upper house of
Congress has spoken too infrequently to please
his many admirers, took the floor again to ad-
vocate the passage of what he called perhaps
the most important piece of constructive legis-
lation attempted since the Civil War Mr.. Dol
liver week or two ago had spirited passage
at arms with Mr. Carmack. of Tennessee over
the Democratic effort to stain the honor and
impeach the humanity of the American army.
To-day he discussed the theme in a more
serious vein of logic and eloquence, giving one
of those genuine oratorical treats which have
become too rare In the Senate's recent history.
Mr.. Dolver said he disappointed that
not a single helpful suggestion had been made
by the minority. They had satisfied themselves
with a thunderstorm of words-a storm that
sounded loud, but in effect amounted to little.
The Democrats had studiously avoided the real
issue. The arguments advanced by the minority
simply "a most reckless indictment of the
United States in it's civil and military govern
ment." Every man must know that no politi
cal advantage could be gained by an attack on
the army of the United States.
The charge had been made, Mr.. Dolliver said.
that the government had entered into a wicked
conspiracy. He had listened to the malicious
TRADE through which attempt had been made
to impeach the motives of this government He
was satisfied that the party in power could
make its way through this volcano of malev-
olence and malice without harm to il.
Mr.. Dolver paid a beautiful tribute to Pres-
dent Mckinley and his policy in the Philippines,
saying that in McKinley's policy there was not
a note of greed or covetousness. He had found
IT difficult, he had heard the terms thieves"
'murderers." 'plunderers" and carpet bag
gers flung recklessly from the lips of Demo
cratic statesmen. to determine just where he
was, whether he really in the Senate of
the United States. William Mckinley had put
the seal of his approval the holding of the
Philippines by the United States, in trust for
their inha bitants And the action of Mckinley
was pregnant with greatness and humanity.
The Philippine insurrection military propo-
sition was a thing of the past. Practically
nothing of the insurrection had been left for
year
In conclusion Mr. Dolliver said: THE Con-
gress of the United States is more likely to cede
back the valley of the Mississippi to the lawful
heirs of Napoleon the Great than leave the
Philippine archipelago to become the prey of
anarchy or the prize OF some European power"
II was expected that Mr.. Burrows. of Michi-
gan. would follow Mr. DOlliver in the debate on
the Philippine bill but, explained by Mr.
Lodge, he was kept away from the Senate by an
affiiCtion in his family.

FDENLNG.S TRIAL ILLEGAL.
THE SUPREME COURT HOLDS THAT
REGULAR ARMY OFFICERS CAN
NOT TRY VOLUNTEERS.

Washington, Nay s19.-In opinion deliv-
cred to-day by Justice Peckham, the United
States Supreme Court decided the case of Cap
The case involved the right OF a court martial
composed entirely of officers of the regular army
to pass a case involving the rights of a volun-
teer officer. The effect of the opinion is that
such trial is illegal.
Justice Peckham briefly reviewed the circum-
stances of the case. saying that Deming had
pleaded guilty to the charge Of embezzlement
and conduct unbecoming officer on his trial.
and that the court martial had been ordered
by the major general in command; that he had
been found guilty and sentenced to dismissal
from the army and to Imprisonment. He then
told how Deming had been imprisoned at Fort
Leavenworth and had sued out writ of habeas
corpus to the United States District Court of
Kansas, on the ground that the members of the
court were the representatives Of "other forces
contrary to the articles of war; and asking for
his discharge That court refused to grant the
dlScharge, but when the case was taken to the
circuit Court of Appeals for the Eighth Cir
cult the writ was allowed and the discharge
granted. The United States. in the name of the
warden OF the Fort Leavenworth Penitentiary,
appealed the case to the Supreme Court of the
United States and to-day's opinion. affirming
the decision of the Circuit Court of Appeals, was
the result.
In delivering his opinion Justice Peckham
SAID: we hold that the court martial was
wholly illegal body, and that 1t had no juris-
dlction whatever" The Chief Justice and Jus
tlce Mckenna dissented and Justices Gray and
brewer took no part in the
The decision. it is said, will result in setting
free many prisoners who have been tried and
convicted by courts martial composed of both
regular and volunteer officers.

THE NEW CIRCUIT JUDGESHIP.
APPOINTMENT OF ATTORNEY GENERAL
DAVIES CONSIDERED PROBABLE-CON-
GRESSMEN NOT ELIGIBLE.
[BY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRrBrNr.


Washington. May 19-The appointment Of Attor-
ney General Davies. of New-York to the new cir
cult judgeship created the present session of
Congress is considered highly probable. 1t has
been discovered that Representatives George w
Ray, De Alva s. Alexander James S. Sherman and
other members Of the House barred from ap-
pointment by the terms of the constitution In fact
the only way by which President Roosevelt could
honor any of them with judicial appointment
in New-York would be by promoting District Judge
Alfred c. Coke to the circuit iudgeship and
then appointing Mr.. Ray of the other mem
bers Of delegation the district judgeshp made
vacant by Judge Coxe's promotion. II is a singular
fact that the members of Congress from New-York
were ineligible for appointment The constitution of
the United States says:
No Senator Representative shall, during the
time for which he elected be appointed to any
civil office under the authority of the United States
which shall have been created. or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased, during such
time: and person holding any office under the
United States shall be a member of either House
during his continuance in office.
Senator PIatt discovered this condition OF affairs
the other day. and Immediately called the Presi-
dent and urged the promotion of Judge Coke 10 the
circuit bench in order that vacancy might he pro-
vided on the district bench for George W. Ray,
whose appointment he is strongly urging. The
President has the question under consideration
and will reach decision. 1t is understood
that personally he would prefer 10 allow District
Judge Coke TO remain where he is. and TO give
the vacancy the circuit bench to a local man
who is not holding judicial office. In the mean
time the friends of Attorney General Davies are
strongly urging his appointment TO the circuit

CASE COMES BEFORE THE SUPREME COUR T
ON A WRIT OF CERTIORARI

Washington. May 19.-The United States Supreme
Court to-day granted writ Of certiorari to the
Circuit Court Of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit In
the case of Robert f. Downs, involving the Rus
sian sugar duty question. Immediately after the
petition was granted, motion to advance the case
the docket filed by counsel for Mr. Downs
in which the Solicitor General concurred. In the
brief in support of this motion the statement is
made that the effect of Russian retaliation he
cause of the countervaiing duties imposed hv this
government on Russian sugars has been to destroy
the larger part Of the trade of the United States
with that country and II is argued that II the de-
cision OF the Supreme Court should result in the
removal OF the countervsng duty the friendly
trade relations between the two countries would
be restored. The court will probably set the case
down for a hearing early next term.
