Mr.. Page Endorsed.

Mr.. EDITOR:
l am certainly glad TO see our most
worthy friend endorsed by SO many
OF our best citizens for the Corpora.
ton Commission. / believe Mr.. Il.
q. Page to be man without an
enemy which can be said of so few,
but too modest to solicit support
therefore. his friends knowing him
TO be the right man for the place
should come out IN his behalf until
it is made unanimous. as believe it
is only unexpressed.
We know him to be possessed with
mind as clear as the crystal spring
of his native State and whose virtue
is as firm as the everlasting hills.

EDITOR CLARKE COURIER
In my opinion, one of the most
valuable parts of the new constitu-
ton. is that portion which provides
for Corporation Commission; the
success, however, of the contemplate
ed regulation of the corporation,
largely, if not entirely depends on the
commission to be named by the
Governor, and as 10y yem last issue,
yOu name one of Clark's most favored
sons, as on. Of the commissioners,
l hope you will grant me the space
to say, that the people of Clarke
should leave no stone unturned,
which can in any way assist in secur.
ing the appointment of Il. Powell
Page, as one of the Corporation
Commissioners, rs 70 one in the
county would serve the state more
faithfully and reflect more credit on
the county.

Probably to be Dedicated November l,
 Anniversary of "DeP' Hays Birth.
 The Hay memorial chapel being erect ed at Westminster school, Simsbury, will probably be dedicated November 1, the birthday of Adelbert Stone Hay, and plans are being made for exercises that day. "Del' Hay, as he was known to his friends, son of Secretary of State John Hay, graduated from Westmin- ster in 1894, and from Yale in 1898. His death by a fall for window of the New Haven house in June, 1901, was but a short time after his return from his successful career in the trying po- sition of consul at Pretoria in the early part of the South African troubles and on the eve Of the triennial reunion of his class at Yale.
 The chapel is the gift of Secretary and Mrs. John Hay.

THE DANRTJRY FAIR,

The Danbury fair will open Monday, October 6, and continue until the 11th, inclusive. It is hardly necessary to go into particulars concerning this fair, its special features being so well known to everyone who is in the habit of at- tending exhibitions of this character. It does not depend entirely upon the people of Connecticut for patronage, at- tracting people from several other states in this section to view the varied attractions provided for their entertain ment No doubt the attendance this year will be fully equal to that of years past, which has far exceeded that of any similar fair in this section.

RATIFICATION IS FAVORED

Debate on Proposition to
Sell Islands.
MAJORITY FAYOR5 SlGHlNG lF TREATY.
Provision Is Made for Secret Vote In
Danish West Indies by Electors
Who Are Qualified to Vote Tor
Members of the Colonial Council
of the Islands.

Copenhagen, April 1o.-The Lands
thing, or upper house, Wednesday,,
concluded it's secret debate on the
treaty providing for the sale of the
Danish West India islands to the
United States. A report on the subject
will be presented to parliament, in
open session, at an early date.
The landsthing majority report,
which was signed by IS members,
recommends the ratification of the
treaty after a secret vote by cleo
tors who are qualified to vote for
members of the colonial council of
the Danish West Indies. These cleo
tors are holders of property worth
1000 kroner and upwards. The pie
biscite heretofore demanded involved
the entire population, including the
negroes. so the proposals are much
modified. Twenty-Five supporters of
the government signed the minority
report, which is in favor of the rati-
fication of the treaty without q
plebiscite. The independent group,
aggregating eight members. signed a
third report, advocating the ratihca-
ton of the treaty, with a subsequent
plebiscite of the entire population.

EXCLUSION BILL PASSED.
Chinese to This Country Adopted
by House with Amendments.

Washington, April s.-The house
Monday passed the Chinese exclusion
bill after incorporating in it several
which increased the
drastic character of the measure. The
principal one not only excludes Chi
nese by birth and descent but all Chi
nese of mixed blood. The chief strug-
gle was over an amendment to pro-
hibit the employment of Chinese sail
ors on American ships. An amend
ment covering this proposition at
first was ruled out on point of Or
der. but subsequently was modified to
evade the ruling and was adopted
100 to "A. AS passed the bill prac-
tically rcenacts all the existing exclu-
sion laws and incorporates with them
the existing treaty regulations. 1t
extends these exclusion laws to the
Philippines and other possessions of
the United States and forbids Chinese
laborers in our colonial possessions
coming into this country. The Phil
ippine commission, by the terms of
the bill. is directed to adopt proper
measures for the enforcement OF the
bill in the Philippines.

Relief in Death,

Kansas City, Mo-, April s.-James
Whitfield, president of the Western
baseball league, and for many years
sporting editor of the Kansas City
Star, committed suicide at his home
here early Monday.
Last week at the great American
handicap Mr.. Whitfield, by sheer
force of will, attended the six days
contest. Saturday last found him
on the verge of nervous prostration,
and on Sunday he was out of his
l. lad part of the time. Nothing seri-
Gus was thought of his case, how
ever.
1t is not known mere what effect,
if any, Mr.. Whitfeld's death will
have upon the Western league.
Mr.. Whitfield was born in England
AZ years ago. He came to Kansas
City in 1884, and with the exception
of one year, when he was propri-
etor of the Referee, small weekly,
he has been with the Star since that

Glasgow, April z. - The casualty
list of the lbrox park disaster, when
Il number of persons were killed or
injured by the collapsing of Il spec
tators' stand during the international
football match Saturday afternoon
between England and Scotland, have
been completed. They eclipse all

casualties. The disaster has result

injury OF $50. Nearly 200 of the lat
ter were SO seriously hurt that they
were taken to infirmaries for opera
tions and treatment. One hundred
and fifty of them still remain in the
in'irmaries. A large proportion of
the injured had limbs broken. bodies
crushed and lnangled and heads and
faces gashed. Several more deaths
will undoubtedly result from the
most critical cases of fractured
skulls.

Murdered 1000 of Their Own

San Francisco, April 4.-Gen. Fred
erick Funston was the guest of
honor at banquet given by the
Ohio society. In response to toast
he said in part:
"After the first three or four months of
fighting the Fllipinos forsook all civilized
methods of fighting and began a guerrilla
warfare or sort unparalleled in history.
They killed directly or by torture nearly
1000 of their own countrymen during the
years 1900 and 1901, because they would not
contribute money to support the insurgent
cause.
II know of nearly 400 cases in my own dis
trict in which natives were burned alive
and many of these were women and chill

''They committed inconceivable atrocities
on American soldiers who fell into their
hands. I had the pleasure of capturing and
hanging some fiends guilty of this.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT.
Bill Perfected in the House for It's
Establishment in Philippines
When War Ends.

Washington, April o. - The house
bill establishing civil government in
the Philippines has been finally per-
fected by the republican members of
the insular committee in it's complete
form, and reintroduced by Chair
man Cooper. The bill is unlike that
of the senate, in that it provides a
complete form of civil government
for the islands, to go into effect
when the war terminates. A summary
follows:
Whenever the existing instruction in the
Philippines shall have ceased and con-
dition of general and complete peace shall
have been established therein, and the
facts shall have been certified to the presi-
dent by the commission, the president shall
authorize the commission to call a general
election for the choice of delegates to a
popular assembly of the people of the Phil
tppine islands, to be known as the Philip
pine assembly.
1t is further provided that all the legisla-
tive power shall then be We ed in two
houses-the Philippine commission and the
Philippine assembly. Provision is made
for taking the census within 80 days after
islands are to be divided into election dis
tricts, and the regular machinery for
electing the legislature is provided.
Section II provides that all residents Of
the Philippines shall have the same pro-
lection from the United States in their re-
lations to foreign governments as is accord
ed to citizens of the United States.
For the purchase of the friar lands the
bill makes provision for the issuance of
insular bonds at five per cent. interest,
payable in gold, the total amount not be-
ing specified. The regulation of franchises,
timber lands. mineral lands, etc., is pro-
vided for. The system of coinage differs
from that in the senate bill, as it makes
gold the standard, with Philippine token
money of silver maintained at parity
with gold. The peso is to be of silver 1t

worth half as much.
