We find the following anecdotes in q
Naples paper: AT the postoffice yes
terday. amid the large crowd gathered
around the window, was a young Eng
lish lady. handsome, well dressed and
accompanied by her maid. The young
lady had just purchased some stamps
and was about to aftix them 10 s mum.
Der OF letters which she beld in her
hand. Delicately tearing of a stamp
she said TO her maid. Pull tsici out
your tongue And the maid. with Eng.
lish impassivity. thrust forth her
tongue. while the mistress passed over
1t postage stamp. which she subsc-
quently stuck on a letter. She went
through the entire package OF letter.
and for each one the obedient waiting
maid thrust out her tongue for the
mistress to moisten the stamp. Curl.

whcnee Come ELECTRICITY.


At time when electricity is rapidly
Transforming the face Of the globe.
when il has already in great measure
annihilated distance and bids fair to
abolish darkness for US. il is curious to
notice how completely ignorant the
plain man remains as TO the later de-
velOpments of electrical theory. Some
recent correspondence has ,ed me TO
think that 4 vague notion thst electric
iiy is a fluid which in some my sterious
way flows through n telegraph wire
like water through a pipe is about as
far as be has G0t. and If we add to this
some knowledge OF what he calls ''elec-
tric shocks" we should probably ex-
haust his ideas on the subject. Yet
this is not TO be wondered at. Even
the most instructed physicists can do
nothing but guess as TO what electr c
lty j.. and the only point on which
they a.ree Is as to what II is not
There *. In fact. a perfect cunseusEs

GENERAL CONFEsSEs THAT AMER.
ICA SHOT FIRST
Hughes Upholds Importation of La
bOrers to IsIanGs and Argues
That NegrOes Should BE
Sent There.


WASHINGTON, March S.-Senator Pat
terson continued his questioning of Gen.
Hughes in the senate committee on the
Philippines today, taking up the begin.
ming Of hostilities III February, 1899. The
witness repeated his previous statement
that the first shot was fired by an Amer
lean
Gen. Hughes admitted that the Filipino
leaders were absent at the time in a
conference at Malolos. He said that hos
tihties were so active the next day that
there was no opportunity to attempt to
heal the breach
He denied that the Filipinos were
slaughtered, but many were killed when
CorneTed." They continued to fight when
they should surrender he said. Gen
Hughes said that he thought that white
| labor would be a total failure in the
Philippines, but that other labor would be
necessary, as the natives are. he said,
lazy, lie thought the only resort would
be to continue to import Chinese and
Japanese labor.
Gen. hughes also expressed the opinion
that it would be well to encourage negro
emigration to the Philippines from the
United States. He added that the col-
ored troops taken to Samar mixed read
! lily with the natives, and that MANY of
I the latter shed tears when the colocad
soldiers were removed.

PASSED A NUMBER OF BILLS
AND SENT MANY TO
DEATH
ST. PAUL CHARTER AMENDED
Representative Hickey Nipped "A LIt-
tie Game to Wipe Out Police Com-
missiOn-Hurd Armory Bill
Up to Governor
$4,000 FOR ST. LOUIS FAIR

The house yesterday passed the St.
Paul charter bill, the Hurd armory bill,
amended the st. Louis exposition bin ap-
propriating $4,000 and bill setting aside
$500 for printing the proceedings Of the
extra session.
The st. Paul charter bill, which pro-
vides amendments to the home charter
law of 1897, was passed only after merry
little war of words, which resulted in its
being referred to a special committee
headed by Representative Hickey, Ram
sey, for investi cation. The bill amends
sections 2 and 4 of the charter law.
Section provides for the submission Of
proposed amendments to the charter to
the people at regular or special elections,
and section provides that on the petit
ton of per cent of the legal voters
the charter commission shall submit the
amendments petitioned for It also pro-
vides that if city offices are TO be filled
at the same election the proposed
amendments shall be placed at the bot
tom of the ticket.
Mr.. Hickey claims the bill as intro
duced and passed by the senate would
if enacted wipe out the st. Paul char
ter and was aimed at the elimination
Of the police board system with the idea
of returning the police department to
the control Of the mayor. A scheme along
those lines was submitted to the Lincoln
cluD some months ago by 4. B. Doran.
Republican candidate for mayor, and the
friends of the charter have been on the
look out for the bill.
The title of the bill has no reference
to the sections Of the law which IL was
calculated to change, and as it read was
a bill for the amendment Of the law en-
tire. Mr.. Hickey held that as introduced
the enabling act would result in stultify-
ing the whole law and wipe out the st.
Paul charter The bill was turned over
to him, and late yesterday afternoon re-
turned and passed without a dissenting
vote.
The passage Of the Hurd armory bill
was one of the smoothest pieces of legis-
lative rustling Of the present session,
which win go down into history as an
example incarnate of what may be done
by a legislative body. The bill pro
vides that cities may issue bonds for the

ENGLISH GOVERNMENT BALKS ALL

Disclosures So Far Result in Fail

Special to The Globe.

LONDON, March 8.-The ''wastage OF
war; continues. This phrase must be
taken in it's widest sense in respect tC
loss Of both life and treasure The gov
ernment has deliberately baked all at
tempts to secure an investigation of ex-
penses, and apparently has determined tc
maintain it's present course, no matter
what the cost may be.
One of the latest charges of looting
is probably the most distressing of tho
malodorous number. Henry Copeland
the agent-general for New South Wales
affirms that special offers of remounts
were made by Australian breeders at ar
average of about II pounds sterling each
but these offers the government deliber
ately set aside, preferring to pay 2
pounds to IS pounds for English anC
American horses. Mr.. Copeland furnishe.
kilograms to prove his case.
Nearly 10000 additional men are to pt
thrown at once into South Africa. An
other unpleasant condition in army af
fairs is what one of the morning paper:
calls THE Yeomanry Fiasco.' 1ne re
port of the adjutant general, just issued
shows that not half the $4,000 men ex
pected can be enrolled.

AID FOR WEST INDIES
ENGLAND's GOVERNMENT WILL.
TAKE OFF DUTY ON SUGAR.

LONDON. March SIT is rumored that
the British government intends, in the
near future, to remove the half penny
per pound duty which is now imposed
on West Indian sugar. This will afford
the West Indies the relief they have de-
manded until the Brussels convention
comes in force Between now and Sep
TENDER, 1903 according to the terms OF
the convention, Great Britain can take
any steps she deems advisable to safe
guard the industry. The abolition of the
duty on West Indian sugar is tantamount
to giving the preferential treatment over
all other sugars, though this of course,
ceases the moment the Brussels agree
ment becomes operative. According to
representatives of the leading sugar
houses here the immediate effect will be
to bring to English ports the West Indian
sugar which is now going to American
markets.

BAD REPUTATION
TELLS HOW THE DANCE BEGAN
Many Men in United States, He De-
cIares, Should Be Hanged for
'Use of Their Mouths
and Minds"
SEES TREASON IN OPPOSITION

NEW YORK. March 2.-Bng. Gen.
Frederick Funston was the guest of hon
or at dinner given tonight at the Lo-
tus club. Over 800 were present.
Gen. Funston said: ITO talA about
war over there is not an agreeable sub
ject. The army has been Loing as good
as it could under the circumstances"
Gen. Funston told in minute detail oS
the instances which led to the warfare
between the American army and the in
surgents, and during the narrative told
of the shooting of several sentries by
Filipino scouts who had passed the lines.
He said that on the opening of the bat
tie between the army and the insurgents
Maj, Metcaf, Of the First 4lebraska reg
iment, had come to his quarters and
said: THE dance has begun"
what dancer I asked, and Maj. Met
calf replied, go out and hear it, and
I went out and heard the puttering of
rifle balls, and that was the beginning
of the war over there"
Gen. Funston then said: 'All sorts of
men get into the army, but I believe that
IS per cent Of the American soldiers are
brave and humane men. The other 8
per cent, who have been writing letters
to newspapers, have ornamented the in
side of a grog house for a longer time
than they have distinguished themselves
in the field
''All the American soldiers who have
fallen since December, 1900, have been
victims of a lot of misinformed and
misguided people here in the United
States. 1t is perfectly proper for us to
have all sorts of opinions as to what we
should do with the Philippine islands
but, for heavens sake let us keep them
to ourselves until every square inch OF
that territory recognizes the sovereignty
of the United States
Gen. Funston said that Aguinaldo had
told him in regard to Luna death: Il
had him killed simply because he would
have been dictator instead of myself 2
Would you imagine George Washing
ton doing anything like that?' asked
Gen. Funston.
The general said there was not one
| of the so-called Filipino patriots who
| could not be convicted Of murder if he
| were tried by a jury. He declared that
there had never been war in the world S
history where the soldiers had shown
such humanity as had the American
troops in the Philippine islands He then
told of twenty-four American soldiers
who had Joined the Filipinos and who
were afterwards captured and executed
as traitors, and then said:
There are many men IN the United
| and minds to aid the insurgents than
gensen rifles. I would rather see those
men hanged for treason than to see one
| of our soldiers dead on the field of bat
| tie"
The general then declared the Fslipinos
