Washington, November 14.-The an- nual report of Major General Adna R. Chaffee just made public closes with September 30, the date when he relin- quished the command of the division of the Philippines. The report covers the campaign of General J. Fl. Smith in Samar, refers to some friction that occurred between the civil and military authorities regarding Leyte. and dis cusses the actions of various officers and the work of the army in the sup pression of recent insurrections. Gen eral Chaffee warmly defends the off cers and assumes full responsibility for all that was done under official or ders. He says the various Filipino bands are of little military importance and in time can be handled by the in sular cOnstabulary.
 Speaking of the campaign in Samar General Chaffee says he finds nothing in the written instructions which was not warranted by the conditions there to be overcome. General Chaffee says the formation of concentration camps was necessary to suppress the insurl'ec- tion in the provinces of Batangas, La guna and Tayabas. He asserts that the civil authorities in some instances aided the insurrectionists. and he says it was found necessary to arrest and Confine 300 or 400 of the intelligent class in order to remove the Influence of the masters over the masses of the popu- lation. General Chaffee requests the re- moval of all censure that has been passed publicly upon General Bell I7- garding orders, circulars and instruC- tions which he issued while putting down the insurrection.
 An interesting feature of General Chaffee's report relates to the MuroG in Mindanao and JOlo He says it will require time, tact and patience to es- tablish United States authority over c!l the Moro settlements.

 It is the intention of the miners next to call on Rev. Peter Roberts of Ma hanOy City, who has intimate knowl- edge of anthracite mining and is the author of a book on the subject. Dur ing the hearing all the attorneys took copious notes, and it looks as if the in vestigation would be long drawn our unless some arrangement for curtailing the cross-examination of witnesses is agreed upon.

SMALL BOSTON BANK
 IN RECEIVERS HANDS
Its Failure Will Cut No Figure in the
 Financial World.

Boston, Novmber 14.-The Central National bank, a small institution com pared with many other city banks, did not open it's doors today because of an order from the comptroller of cur rency. who had placed National Bank Examiner w. Neal over it as tempor- ary receiver. Impaired assets were given as the first reason Of failure. The incident did not produce any furry in financial circles, as the closing Of the bank through liquidation by Elliott National bank was looked for and such liquidation it was supposed, had com menced.
 The incident which precipitated the failure was the rejection of cons!d- erable portion of the Central bank s assets by President Burrage of the Elliott bank, who was scrutinizing them preparatory to taking them to the bank for liquidation. Another portion of assets is known to have been acceptable, and the action of President Burrage and the Elliott bank directorate in refusing to liquid ate the bank was unexpected.
 On Wednesday sales of the Centrals stock dropped $15 from par and yester- day depositors withdrew something like s2,00O,O0O. Later in the day the clearing house declined to aid the bank and certified checks on the bank were refused acceptance by other banks. Over night preparations were made to place a receiver in charge of the bank and in fulfillment of this plan the doors were placarded today. Officers of other banks are of the opinion that the Centrars failure will not be mo- ticed in financial circles.

They We re Not Runooed.

To judge by the whining complaints
of the Union Republicans, one not
posted would imagine that they had
been buncoed by the Regulars at the
last election; that is, that they had
applied their votes to the election of
Regular Republicans only, and had re-
ceived for themselves nothing in re-
turn.
But this is not casa, and it is clearly
illustrated by the Sussex Republican
OF Georgetown, in an editorial reply
ing to the Union Republican threat Of
ignoring the Sussex Regular Republi-
cans in this years campaign. the
Sussex Republican says:
The Regular Republicans are not
worrying about the matter because they
feel that the responsibility does not
rest with them hut with the Union
Republicans. They know that the lat
ter have all to gain and nothing to lose
by such an arrangement, while they
themselves will not be injured, what
ever, be the outcome, as they have
nothing to lose. Their fight is against
Addicks, but they do not propose tc
permit him to strengthen his county
organization longer by their votes.
They are tired Of keeping the Unions in
power and being laughed at for theil
pains. Where would Gov. John Hum,
Caleb r.. Layton and George w. Mar,
shall be at the present time il it hac
not been for tho Regular Republican
votes in this State. Now they sit back
and enjoy their four year offices and dc
clare the Regular Republicans who have
two-year offices, shall not have foul
years like themselves. This is a gamt
two can play and the Regular Republi
| cans can stand 1T as long as the Unions
Lei the band play.
This is q plain and true statement
and shows that the Union Republican
have no real occasion for their whines
Thy have received the lions share. AM
still they insist that they shall have
senatorship for Addicks, and that I'm
less he is elected no one else shall b.
elected to either of the senatorial
vacancies Addicks must be frs
served or the vacancies continued in
definitely, so far as the Union Reput
licans are concerned.
If any party has been buncoed in thi
matter, it is the Regular Republica
party. And the Addicks Republican
want to continue their ''skin game
operations. What blaclslegs they are
to be sure.

1t is pertinently pointed out by the
Philadelphia Record that the average
increase in the rate of wages in the
United States does not keep pace with
the average increase in the cost of liv-
ing. This is whore the shoe pinches.
Save as the laboring man may, he finds
that his larger wages do not enable him
as the years go by to lay up more
money against the day of necessity.
Since the trusts insist on increasing
the cost of food, clothing and all the
products of manufacture which enter
into common use they are bound in
good conscience as we'll as from sound
business considerations not to Cypress
"the OK that treadeth out the corn. -
Whatever the employers of labor may
do or fail to do, however tho Congress,
which is responsible for laws that put
it in the power of the employers of
labor to exact an unjust proportion of

and Irregularities that have resulted
from the operation of such laws.

RAILROAD TAX CASE.

Judge Morris, to Pass on Contention Be
tween Baltimore, Chesapeake Il Atlantic
I;nilway and WiGomieo County.
Judge Morris, in the United States
Court Baltimore, Tuesday, heard the
argument of counsel to show why no
shall not issue an injunction restrain
ing the Wicomico County Commits
sioners from collecting taxes on the
property of the Baltimore, chesapeake
il Atlantic Railway Co. for 1900 and
1901. The amount Of taxable property
involved is more than 500, 000.
The question Of the liability OF the
company to taxation is one which has
occupied the attention of the courts for
several years. In 1886 the Legislature
granted charter to the Baltimore IL
Eastern Shore railroad, eSempting it
from taxation for 80 years. In the
course Of few years tho Wlcomico Il
Pocomolio was merged with this line
and the property was mortgaged. In
1894 the mortgage was foreclosed and
the present incorporation formed.
In 1896 the Mayor and City Council
Of Ocean City filed u suit against it in
order to collect taxes for that year,
holding that the privilege granted by
the Legislature was u personal one and
that the road could not mortgage its
property, nor could it be transferred.
Tho case was decided in favor of the
Ocean City authorities, and the road
appealed to the Court of Appeals and
to the Supreme Court of the United
States, both courts sustaining the
ruling of the lower court.
In 1899 the Wicomico County Com
missioners filed suit for the collection
of taxes for that year and for 1900 IN
all the taxable property Of tho road,
the main office being in Salisbury. The
case was CARED through both the Cir.
cult Court and the Court Of Appeals,
each timo decision being given that
the county could collect the taxes dut
for 1900, but that il was unable TO lev,
those Tor any previous years.
The present suit was filed about si1
months ago.
