Governor Taft continued his state
ment before the House insular COM
mittee Tuesday, dwelling on the good
and bad characteristics of the Fill
pinos. He denied reports that they
were cowar1ly and related an instance
In which few Filipino scouts along
with United States troops saved the
day. As to their treachery, he said
this was due largely to their being be-
tween two fires.

General Smith, in command of the
troops on the island Of Samar, cables
that Lieutenant Strebler's scouts have
captured Lukban. the notorious leader
OF the Samar rebels, and brought him
to Laguan. The officials Of the War De-
partment regard the capture of Lux
ban as the most important military
event since Agufnaldo's capture. He
was run down on the, island of Samar.
The place of his confinement is tiny
island In a bay on the north coast of
Samar. Lukban is one Of the most en-
ergetic and ferocious of rebels. He is
a alf-breed, mixture OF Chinese and
Filipino stock, and he has been an ir-
reconcilable foe from the first. He had
various Businesses In the mountains Of
Samar from which he would descend
upon the coast towns and his reign
of terror was SO complete that the en-
tire population of the island paid trib-
ute to him as the price of freedom
from attack.

The most important development
Tuesday to the Tillman-McLaurin epi-
sode was the act Of Senator Frye, pres
ident pro, TEN. Of the Senate, in order
ing the clerk Of the Senate to restore
the names of the two South Carolina
senators to the roll II this plan is
carried out. this act will be followed
by the adoption by the Senate Of a
resolution before vote on any other
subject taken suspending the two SEN
ators for some definite time. The order
of Senator Frye for the restoration of
the names to the rolls was issued al
most Immediately after the Senate con-
vened to-day, and was the result Of o
general conference among the Republi-
can leaders Of the Senate. When
asked for an explanation of this order,
Senator Frye said: I'm my rulings
yesterday l believe that I was strictly
within parliamentary laws: that sena-
tors in contempt are not entitled TO rec
ognihon either to speak or to vote,
and that logically their names should
not be called. still adhere to that
opinion, but, desirous Of shifting the
responsibility from the chair to the
Senate, have directed the clerk to re-
store to the roll the names Of the two
senators from South Carolina" At the
conference Of the Republican leaders
Frye's ruling was exhaustively
discussed, the construction being that
the action Of the president pro TEN.
in striking the names of the South Car
olina senators from the rolls and his
refusal Of request to have their
names called was beyond precedent in
the Senate. and not entirely justified.
On this account 1t was decided that
this particular. phase Of the question
should be Immediately taken up by the
committee on privileges and elections.
The attitude Of the Civil Service
Commission towards the political ac-
tivity of government employees has been
defined in letters Commissioner Foulke
has sent to Postmaster McMichael and
II. Francis Wood, both of Philadelphia.
In his letter to Mr.. Wood, the sub
stance of which also Is stated In the let
ter to the postmaster, Mr.. Foulke says:
I'VE object to certain solicitations for

and do not want my example to be

Brutally Murdered His Son
Afterward Fled To the Mountains,
Taking Daughter With Him
He was Captured but No
Trace of the Girl was
Found.

lnez, KY, Nov. 2.-Pleasant
Sprading, held for killing his 4
year old son and whose 15>year
old daughter is missing, is threat
ened with lynching. Sprading's
family consisted of his wife,
three daughters and son. With
his daughters and boy, the father
was herding sheep last Friday.
The boy was unable to keep up
with the others. The father
placed him on stone beside a
spring, telling HIM to wait until
his return.
The boy, becoming tired, be-
gan to peel the loose bark off
tree that overhung the spring.
When the father returned he ask
ed the boy who had stripped the
tree. The boy replied that he
had. 81 would rather have You
dead than raise you to destroy
everything on the farm" is the
reply the father is said to have
made, and then, it is charged, he
picked up stone and struck the
boy on the head, knocking him
down. Then, it is alleged, he
kicked the PROSTATE boy in the
head until he had killed him, and,
tuning to his daughters, threat
ened them with a like fate if they
ever told what had occurred. At
terward he went home and said
the boy, while chasing sheep, had
run against tree and killed him
self. Becoming alarmed Sprad~
ing took his eldest daughter and
went to the mountains. His wife
hired neighbors to bury the body
of the child and then went to
Judge K. Hensley. She told him
of the death of her son and said
she suspected her husband,
who told her he was going into
the woods to hunt squirrels, and
added that at different times he
had threatened to kill the whole
family. Judge Hensley present
ed the case to the grand jury.
One of the little girls told the
jury that her father had Kicked
the hoy to death. Shortly af-
terwards, sheriff's posse captur-
ed Sprading in the woods but his
eldest daughter was not with him.
The posse is searching for her,
while Sprading is held on the
charge of murder.

A Killing in GreenVille
Ben Ross Stabbed to Death by
Poinsett Trammell.

Speclal 10 Inc state.
Greenville, Nov. 1.-TWO young
men named Ben r IS and Poin-
sett Trammell had a difficulty on
Tuesday night, Oct. 2Sth, about
90 miles north of Greenville, in
which both of them used knives,
and Ben Ross was fatally stabbed
by Trammell, his death occurring
yesterday at the home of Will,
burn Gosnell, short distance
from where the fight took place.
These young men, with others,
had been at corn shucking at
Layton Williams, and at the
supper table after the corn had
been shucked, Trammell used
some expressions that indicated
his dlspleasure at something that
had happened there or elsewhere.
He was asked to state his grew
ance, and as he had looked at
Ross the latter said he was not
aware of giving any offence, but
he was sorry if he had done so.
Trammell replied that he did not
refer to Ross, and the matter was
apparently ended.
When tho supper was over the
crowd began to disperse, Ross
and Trammell going in the same
direction, along with sever al
others. Not far from the house
they began to quarrel, and the
other young men told them to
stop it. Trammell was heard to
say that Ross would not pay what
he owed if he had the money, to
which Ross responded that Tram
nell was ID liar, when they
went to fighting. Ross said af-
forwards that Trammell struck
the first lick, which was with his
knife and severed his abdomen,
the bowels protruding at once,
according to the strtement made
by him to several persons. In
spite of this fact, Ross caught
hold of Trammell and held him
until he could get his knife out of
a pocket and open it with his
teeth, when be went to work and
cut Trammell in several places.
The other young men came back
and separated the combatants, but
none of them could testify as to
who was the aggressor in the
flight.
Coroner Black held an inquest
over the body of Ross, and the
verdict was that Ross came to his
death by wound from knife in
the hands of A. M. Trammell.
Corn stockings are supposed to
be accompanied with slpply of
corn whiskey, and 1t is probable
that the real cause of the difficnl-
ty was an excess of "moon-
shine"
Trammell is reported to be in
a critical condition.

CORONATION EMBASSY.

The special embassy which Will repre-
sent the United States at the corona
ton of the British King, seems to be
regarded with favor in England and
with approval in the United States.
The head of the embassy, Mr.. White
law Reid, is familiar with diplomatic
usages, having been the American en-
voy to France; General James II. Will
son, the military member, is a cour-
teous and distinguished officer who will
make a fine figure at court; and Cap
tain Clarke is probably the most ia
nous officer of his rank now in active
service Perhaps an Admiral would
have answered a better purpose owing
to his position; but as the English are
satisfied with Clarke, Americans have
no cause to complain. Besides, as the
hero Of the Oregon was set back in
number owing to the shifting of other
officers after the battles of Manila and
Santiago, the country owes him some
thing-something better in fact, than
a show trip abroad.
There will be in addition to the en-
bassy, a fine exhibit of Americans
when Edward VII comes to his own.
A large United States fleet will assem-
BILE; there will also be fleet of Amer
lean steam yachts carrying the million
aire class; and other rich or cultured
representatives of our stern democracy
will help swell the prologue of the i'm
perial theme.

CHURCH REORGANIZATION.

The few remaining partisans of the
Anglican Bishop now know what this
journal meant when it said that they
would get scant attention from the new
American Bishop, and that the reor-
ganization OF the church would be
made to conform to the interests of the
many rather than the prejudices of the
few.
They are now aware that Bishop
Potter has written, advising the Sec
ond Congregation to get out an injunc-
ton restraining Bishop Willis from
making any changes in the status of
that body We do not here discuss the
legal and practical aspects of that adj
vice; but we urge that 1t clearly shows
the spirit with which the authorities of
the Episcopal church OF the United
States will approach the problem of re-
construction here which the ruinous
course of the Anglican Bishop of IA
wall presents to them.
We feel safe in saying that when the
american reform takes shape. the vii.
lis party will only have that consider.
alton which their actual numbers en-
title them to enjoy and that thew viii,
not be permitted to keep the church IN
Hawaii at odds with itself.

AS TO THE SHERIDAN.

We do not believe the report of the
loss of the transport Sheridan in the
Straits of Shimonoseki, with 400 souls.
These straits, or rather, this strait,
connects the inland sea with the ocean
waters that lave the western shores of
Japan. At Shimonoseki the channel is,
we recall il, about the width of the
Golden Gate at it's narrowest point, but
more sheltered Opposite each other on
the immediate shores are two busy
towns Shimonoseki and Moji, their
beaches and quays lined with hundreds
of sampans and junks, and their an
chorages having at all times an unus-
ual number of tugs, small steamers
and merchantmen. A transport meet
ing a mishap on the usual course would
get help within five minutes after it's
whistles had sounded the alarm; and
unless an extraordinary tide was run
ming the good swimmers among it's
crew and passengers could get ashore
without help.
disaster was in the form of a rumor on
the docks at San Francisco the day the
Ventura sailed But such news, when
true, does not travel by rumor. 1t is
put on the wires at once in as definite
a form as the dispatch which ANNOUNCE
ed the destruction of the Maine. There
Is a Reuter- news agency at Shimono-
seki with Geographic facilities at its
command; also number of special
correspondents for the Tokyo press.
So the story in its rumored form is
improbable.

How He Answered to The Ladies
at Banquet

The wise and facetious Minister WI
Ting Fang made his appearance IN a
new role the other evening at a large
gathering where both ladies and gen.
tlemen were present, where he was the
most conspicuous guest. He was asked
to say a few words to the ladies, in re-
Spouse to a toast to them He said:
when 1 see so many finely built wom-
en- confronting me, and I am called upon
to be the gallant of the moment, what
can / say but that L wish for that mo-
ment that I were not a Chinaman-I
should like to be an American as
stand here, so that each one of you
would appear beautiful to me, as you
actually must be when seen through
your countrymen's eyes. Alas! the slight
difference in the formation of my orbs
cannot do justice to the impression you
make upon me, individually and jointly
and severally. But there are some we'll
nourished figures and forms amongst
you that really appear to be as fine as
the best that my own fertile country has
produced. And your intelligence and
souls am told, which are hidden under
your intricate fashionable apparel are
more beautiful even than your forms.
May you all feel the depth and sincerity
of my admiration. and may your youth
full looks and honorable years always
walk hand in hand"
