STATUS OF DR.. McLEAN.-Mr. {

STATUS OF DR.. MCLEAN.-Mr. G.
A. Heermans, of Montgomery, minority
member of the subcommittee of the
House committee on privileges and cleo
tons, has prepared his report in the mat
ter of the status of DR.. i. p. Mclean,
of Mecklenburg, as a member of the
House. Mr.. Heermans takes the ground
that the fact that DR.. Mclean was a
federal officer at the time of election did
not render him in eligible to election to
the House. He contends that DR.. Me-
Lean, having been elected under the old
constitution and taken the oath there
under, was not subject to expulsion.
He further makes the point that the
language of the schedule prescribing that
before entering upon his duties men,
Der must take the oath under the new
constitution, has no time limit within
which lie shall take it.
Finally, Mr.. Heermans concludes
that & resolution should be adopted re-
citing the situation and the Mecklen-
burg members failure to attend upon
the session without leave of absence, and
serving notice that unless he appear
within three days after adoption Of the
resolution, his seat will be declared
vacant.
The other two members of the sub
committee will recommend the expulsion
of DR.. Mclean. In effect, all three
gentlemen are in accord. The seat will
be declared vacant and an election
ordered for the vacancy. = Richmond

SENATOR PRITCHARD of North Caro-

anti lily white policy of the President in
the South, and he declares it will keep
the republican party in a minority in
every southern State for the next 90

is talking about. Just so long as the

THAT A mistake would be made by
well-meaning PEOPLE in ever asking
permission to place a memorial tablet to
the late Winnie Davis in Philadelphia
Church was apparent to many Southern
people at its original inception. Had
the matter never crystalized into a
formal application much modification
would have been avoided. As might
have been expected in large northern
city, some members of the church entered
a protest, the matter was famed into a
flame, there was danger of a split in the
congregation and eventually the appli-
cation was withdrawn. The Daughter
of the Confederacy needs no tablets be-
yond the bounds of the late Southern
Confederacy where her memory will ever
be revered by those who wore the gray
as well as by their descendants.

Boy SwE1LED LIKE A BALLOON.

Boy SwELLED LIKE A BALLOON
With one of the most peculiar diseases
ever recorded, ffteen-year-old Frederick
Kellerman is a sufferer at the City
Hospital, in Baltimore. Cellular
emphysema is the medical term applied
TO the lads aiment. When received at
the hospital the physicians discovered
that four of his ribs were broken. He
had met with an accident in trying to
make horse back. One of the shafts
of the wagon pinioned him against a
stone wall and crushed his side. One
of the broken ribs penetrated the sack
which contains the lungs and caused
the air breathed in to escape as fast as
taken in. The lad 5 body from abdomen
to chin began to swell until he resembled
a balloon receiving gas. The air getting
between the flesh and skin caused the
body to expand. To save his patients
life, Prot. Trimble cut into the chest
and plugged one of the lungs, thereby
cutting off the supply of air from that
organ. When this was done the air left
the body, making a noise which could
be heard in the adjoining room. Had
the operation not been quickly per.
formed the lad would have smothered
to death, as the swelling had already
reached the chin and could get nc
farther. The boy is now suffering from
pleurisy, and the chances of recovery
are slight.

opposition to the pending Philippine
government bill was feature of yes
terday's session of the senate. The
Mississippi senator vigorously as
sailed the administration policy In
the Philippines. He deprecated the
outrages perpetrated in the islands,
whether they were committed by the
Fillpinos or the Americans. They
were, in his judgment, the natural
growth of the governments policy,
for which, he maintained, the Repub.
lican party was responsible. He
urged the abandonment of the policy
In the interest of humanity and JUS
tice. He declared that the minority
was not discussing the pending meas

the political material which the Demo
Gratis desired had been made for them
by the Republicans in this congress

far the subject OF alleged atrocities in
the islands has engaged the attention
OF the senate alone and only occa-
sional echoes have been heard In the
house. But yesterday the reports of
cruelty and outrage were rehearsed
In the house with vehement bitter
ness. The naval bill was the order Of
the day, but 1t received only scant at
tention, after the allegations OF Phil
ippine outrages were presented. A
speech by Vandiver (Mo.) reciting In
stances Of alleged outrage brought on
the discussion. Personalities and re-
ordinations were freely passed
about. Vandlver was supported In his
criticisms by Wheeler (Ky.), while
vehement defense Of the American
soldiers was made by Hepburn Qa.) 4,
Grow (Pa). Hill Comm. w. A.
Smith (Mich) and Lessler (N.Y).
General debate on the naval bill
closed at 4 o'clock and when the
house adjourned the measure was
being read for amendment.

had seized on every exaggerated story
in order to attack the American sol.

The dead are being burned, the
pyres being fed with petroleum and
tar. Great fires are kept going,
which, at night, light up the entire
island, and which, being seen at ST.

France had burned. Although thou
sands have been burned, many still
remain to be cremated.
Some of the walls of the houses that
still stand crumble and fall at touch.

CALLS ELECTION.
Chief Burlington Announces
August 9TH as Date for
Vote on Treaty.

A call has been issued by Chief
Burlington for an election on Aug,
7th, at which time the treaty re.
Gently passed by congress will be
submitted to the citizens of. the
Cherokee Nation for ratification.
A proclamation convening the
national council, August 18th, was
issued concurrently.
From present indications the
treaty will be ratified by an over
whelming maj jority, as the only
serious opposition which has de-
veloped has come from the large
land holders whose motives are
purely selfish.
The appointment Of Claud s.
Shelton as clerk of Delaware dis.
trict is also announced.
