ScHURMAN EXPLAINS.
Roosevelt as Against Gen.
wheaton.

Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 27.-President
Schurman yesterday made a state
ment explanatory of his recent Bos-
ton speech, in which he advocated the
eventual independence of the people
of the Philippines. The substance Of
the speech was that if the Christians
of Luzon and Visaya wanted indie
pendence and showed themselves cap
able to assuming it, this country
would eventually give it to them.
President Schurman said yesterday
that he believed the policy he advo-
Gated would, more than anything else,
promote the welfare of the Filipinos.
President Roosevelt, he said, had de-
clared in his message to congress
that we we're to do for the Filipinos
far more than any other nation had
ever done for a tropical people, and
that we were to fit them for self-gov-
eminent after the name of really
free races. He said he stood with
President Roosevelt in his policy and
was against that advocated by Gen.
Wheaton, which would mean colonial
servitude like that of Java and India.

SELECTING HIS PRESENTS.
Prince Henry Loading Himself Up
With Souvenirs to Leave in
America.

Berlin. Jan. 24.-Admiral Prince
Henry of Prussia selected at the
court jewelers., Wednesday morning,
about fifty presents for Americans
with whom he will come especially
in contact during his visit to the
United States. The presents include
several gold and silver boxes set
with diamonds; they have the en-
peror's monogram, encircled with
diamonds, enamelled on the lids;
beautiful silver cups with "Hohen-
zollern" enamelled On them; gold and
silver cigarette cases, on which his
majesty's autograph is traced in
small compasses, encased in gold and
silver boxes with "Hohenzollern"
enamelled on them, besides larger
and more valuable gifts. A number
of cuff links, brooches and scarfpins,
with the initial "H'' in diamonds, are
also included among the presents.
The latter are intended for less i'm
portant persons.
Official secrecy is maintained as to
what the emperor and Prince Henry
will present to the president, Rear
Admiral Robley ID. Evans and Miss
Alice Roosevelt, though it is we'll
known that his majesty will send
Miss Roosevelt a jeweled bracelet,
and Prince Henry will probably offer
the president a fine hunting gun
with interchangeable shot and rifle
barrels, and it's accompanying equip

OUR "PLAIN DUTY" TO CUBA.
There Should BE a Commercial Ar
rangement to Let the
Island Live,

Senator Mason made an eloquent
plea for justice to Cuba. Invoking the
name of Mckinley in support of his ar.
gument for real reciprocity as a com.
mercial necessity to the United States,
he declared that, having deprived Cuba
of a European market and assumed un-
der practical coercion the control of
her foreign relations, we are morally
bound to give her "a chance to live"
through normal trade relations with
us, at the same time benefiting enor-
mously our own people by giving them
cheaper sugar and a freer market for
their surplus.
"While the grass is growing the
horse starves," and while our protect
ed sugar interests-the beet men and
the cane men-are haggling in the
lobby over how much reduction of the
Dingley duties they are willing to per-
NIT congress to make for Cuba's re-
lief, starvation is staring her people
in the face, says the New York World.
Whatever is done to help Cuba must
be done quickly. She has another sugar
crop of over 800, 900 tons on her hands
and NO way of selling it except at a loss
unless congress let's down the bars. In
the words of Secretary Root: "TEe
same considerations which led to the
war with Spain now require that a
commercial arrangement be made I'M
der which Cuba can live"
No one stands in the way of this ur-
gent act of justice and humanity ex-
cept the protected sugar twins-west-
ern beet and southern cane.

A Loss Of Three Hundred nd
Dollars In the Wholesale Bus
mess District.

Mobile, Ala, Jan. 26.-Fire in the

ner and Thomas were assisting the
iremen and were caught by falling

STORY OF THE CAPTURE.
Mime. Tsilka Relates How She and
Miss Stone were Captured by
the Brigands.

London, Jan. 25.-The Daily Graphic
prints an interview which it's artist
correspondent had with Nine. Tsilka,
the companion of Miss Ellen M.
Stone, in regard to the capture of
the party. Most of the story is al
ready known. Nine. Tsilka says the
band numbered rs men and that they
were all Bulgarians. The leaders,
faces were blackened with charcoal.
This caused some of the captives at
first to believe they were peasants
playing a joke.
After the brigands had led the
party into a forest they brought up
a Turkish peasant, whom they had
previously captured, beat him with
the butt end of their rifles, shot him
dead, and then plunged their knives
into his body. Nine. Tsilka supposed
the murder was committed in order
to intimidate the missionaries. Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka were taken
away and the rest Of their party re-
manned on the mountain side allnight
long. On the following morning the
bandits led the companions of Miss
Stone and Nine. Tsilka to the road
and ordered them to return to Ras-
log. The bandits did not offer any
violence to the captives.

NO TARIFF REDUCTION.
Eastern Protectionist. Have No Ides
of Going Over 70 h Reci-
procity Policy.

G%ermany's apparent willingness to
enter upon a tariff war against the
United States, as manifested in the
proposed amendment to the German
tariff bill which would authorize re-
taliation for penalties imposed upon
German exports, should receive intelli-
gent attention in this country, says
the st. Louis Republic.
There is no question as to the folly
of maintaining an unnecessary tariff
on certain foreign products, in compe-
tition with which American manufac-
turers are underselling all others in
foreign markets. The protection"
thus afforded is entirely superfiuous
and tremendously costly 20 the Ameri-
can If a ~retaliatory war
such as Germany now contemplates is
ultimately provoked American trade
must inevitably suffer. Nor shall we
have any ground for honest complaint.
The late President Mckinley UNI
doubtedly saw that the moment had
arrived for the abandonment of the
high protective tariff. His plea for
reciprocity, almost the last of his pub
lie utterances, was based on this per-
ception. The logical following out of
his recommendations would mean an
extensive scheme of tariff reduction,
though this revision of the tariff would
be accomplished under the name OF
reciprocity. AS the foremost repre-
sentative of the high tariff idea Mr..
Mckinley made a notable concession
when he urged the negotiation of reci-
procity treaties with certain foreign
governments. Had he lived to bring
the full pressure of his influence to
bear, tariff revision would be nuch
easier of attainment.
The trouble seems to bethat the east
ern p~rotectionists are combating the
Mckinley reciprocity policy with an eff
fective force which testifies to the
completeness of their control of the
republican party. The high tariff is
still held as sacred and inviolate. There
must be no tinkeripg with the estab-
lished schedules. The tariff wars with
other great governments, so clearly
foreseen by Mr.. Mckinley, are evident
ly not visible to the radical protection
list eye. All that is perceptible is that
reciprocity would mean the beginning
of tariff reduction, and this must be
prevented at any cost. The indications
at present point to a failure on the
part of the Fifty-seventh congress to
take decisive action on the reciprocity
question. There would be no occasion
for surprise, indeed, if the debate on
this question were postponed to the
next session.

OUR DUTY TO CUBA.

The peace of Cuba is necessary TO
the peace of the United States; the
health of Cuba is necessary to the
health of the United States; the indie.
pendence of Cuba is necessary to the
safety of the United States. The same
considerations which led to the war
with Spain now require that a com.
mercial arrangement be made under
which Cuba can live.-Secretary Roots
Report.
l most earnestly ask your attention
to the wisdom, indeed, to the vital
need, of providing for a substantial
reduction in the tariff duties on Cuban
imports into the United States. Cuba
has in her Constitution affirmed what
we desired, that she should stand, in
international matters, in closer and
more friendly relations with us than
with any other power; and we are
bound by every consideration of honor
and expediency to pass commercial
measures in the interest of her mate
rial well-being. : President Roose-
velt's Message.

Just for a Blind,

Tt is announced that the leaders in
congress have determined upon a ma.
terial reduction of the war taxation,
and that a caucus will shortly be called,
at which the plan is to abolish the resi-.
due of this form of taxation, or else
to make a large cut therein. This il
all right, as far as it goes, and the PEG.
plea are not likely to look with any
disfavor upon any legitimate move to
reduce the burdens of taxation. But
there is reason to fear that Mr.. Payne
and his colleagues intend to use the
abolition of these war taxes like a
flourish of t%rumpets, to drown the
sound of the protest against the indefi.
mite continuance of tariff taxation.
Night and day, year in and year out,
the tariff tax takes toll Of Peter in or.
der to enrich Paul, and from this policy
of favoring the few at the expense OF
the many there is no prospect of relief

FRANCE MAY TAKE HAND.
President Castro of Venezuela
Keeps the Bars Up on M. Secre-
stat, of Bordeaux.
FRENCH CITIZENS RIsHTs INVOLVED.
IL IL Claimed That the Incident
Makes IL Necessary For the
French Government 10 Take
Steps to Cause the Rights of
French Citizens to BE Respected.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Jan.
25.--ln spite of the protests made by
the French consul here, President
Castro has sustained the action OF
the Venezuelan authorities at La
Guayra, who refused to permit M.
Secrestat, Jr., of Bordeaux, to land,
although the government has previ-
ously assured the consul that the
traveller might debark. 1t is held by
the authorities that while the French
line steamer St. Laurent, on which M.
M. Secrestat was a passenger, was at
Fort de France, island of Martinique,
or at the island of Trinidad, he con-
ferred with Gen. Matos, the revolu-
tionary leader. The consul made in
quiries on the subject which estab-
lished the fact that Gen. Matos was
not at Martinique or at Trinidad
when the St. Laurent touched ut
those islands; but was off the Vene-
zpelan coast, on board the revolu.
tionists' steamer Libertador. All the
passengers of the St. Laurent, and
notably the secretary of the Spanish
legation at Caracas, assert that the
behavior of NJ. Secrestat was always
most correct, and that he did not see
Gen. Matos.
1t is claimed that this incident
makes it necessary for the French
government to take the steps neces
sary to cause French citizens to be
respected, and it is believed that the
French cruisers Tage and Suchet,
now at Fort de France, will receive
orders to go to La Guayra.
The French cruiser Desires is at
Carupano, a seaport town in the state
of Bermudez, Venezuela.
M. Secrestat, Jr., the son of a mer-
chant of Bordeaux, France, arrived
at Guayra, January IA, with the inten-
ton of going to Caracas to protest
there against the seizure OF the es-
tates of Gen. Matos by the Venezue-
Ian government, the generals prop.
arty having been legally leased to NJ,

TREASURE IN THE PANTRY
What Was Found Among Broken
Dishes and Battered Tinware In
q Dead Spinster's Pantry.

Charlottesville, Ind, Jan. 24.-Rela-
tives of America Stripe, an aged
spinster, who died this week, have,
since her death, uncovered a rich
treasure in her kitchen pantry. In an
old tin canister, surrounded by
broken dishes and battered tinware,
they found gold and bank notes to
the amount of nearly $4,000. There
were Mexican gold coins bearing
dates in the sos and looking as
bright as the day they came from
the mint. There were also a great
roll of shinplaster money, of denom-
nations ranging from ten to fifty
cents. 1t is believed that the money
was hidden away during the war.
