In argument court yesterday the

raised the claim that the liens were
imperfect were Frank Phillips, Patrick

for the pave on similar grounds, and
in each of these the liens will be

A TRAITORS DEATH.
Last Words of Benedict Arnold.

Last Words of Benedict Arnold.
June IA, 1901, Benedict Arnold died.
In a rude garret, near the loneliest sub
urbs of the city of London, lay dying
man. He was but half dressed. though
his legs were concealed in long military
boots. An aged minister stood beside
the rough couch. The form was that of
a strong man grown old through care
more than age. There was a face that
you might look upon but once, and yet
wear It In your memory forever.
Aye, there was something terrible in
that face, something SO full of unnat-
ural loneliness unspeakable despair.
that the aged minister started back In
horror. But look! Those strong arms
are clutching at the vacant air; the
death-sweat stands in drops on that
bold brow. The man Is dying.
would you die in the faith of Chris
tian?" faltered the preacher as he knelt
there on the damp floor.
The white lips of the death-stricken
man trembled, but made no sound.
Then. with the strong agony of death
upon him, he arose into a sitting pos
ture. For the first time he spoke.
"Christian!" he echoed, in that deep
tone which thrilled the preacher to the
heart. "Will that faith give me back
my honor? Come with me. old man:
come with me, far over the waters. Fla!
we are there! This is my native town.
Yonder is the church in which I knelt
in childhood; yonder the green on which
l sported when boy. But another flag
waves yonder in place Of the flag that
waved when I was child. And listen.
old man: were l to pass along the
streets as l passed when but child,
the very babes in their cradles would
use their tiny hands and curse mel"
Suddenly the dying man arose;
he tottered along the floor. With those
white fingers. whose nails We're blue
with the death chill, he threw open a
vaise. He drew from thence a faded
coat of blue. faced with silver, and the
wreck of a battle-hag. Look ye,
priest! This faded coat is spotted with
my blood. *This coat wore
when / first heard the news of Lexing-
ton; this coat I wore when planted the
banner of the stars on Ticonderoga;
that bullet-hole was pierced in the fight
of Quebec: and now I am a-let me
'hisper it in your earl" He Kissed that
single burning word into the minister's
ear-"Trator!"
There, in that rude hut, while the
death-watch throbbed like heart in
the shattered wall. there, unknown. un
wept. in all the bitterness of desolation.
lay the corpse of the patriot and the
traitor. Oh. that our own true WASH
ington had been there to sever that
good right arm from the cOrse: and,
while the dishonored body rotted into
dust, to bring home that noble arm and
embalm it among the holiest memories
of the past. For that right arm struck
many a gallant blow for freedom, yon-
der at Ticonderoga, at Quebec, Cham

MR., FORAKER DEFENDS
PHILIPPINE POLICY
Continued from Second Pase.)


across the forehead OF the American peo-
pie: and no Administration will do that
or be allowed to do 1t by the American
people"
Mr.. Foraker went on to argue that the
United States could not leave the
archipelago without violating the condi-
tions Of the treaty with Spain by which
the United States were bourd to protect
all tho inhabitants. individuals, and cor
porations." in their property rights. In
this connection lie discussed the question
of the friars' lands. and he agked whether
Spain. knowing how savagely hostile the
Filipinos were to the friars. would con-
sent to the substitution OF 4 Filipino
government for the government Of the
United States.
Everybody. he said. knew that she would
not and SO the United States could not
leave the islands. but II Spain did assent,
then the United States would have to find
that there was a stable and organized
government In the islands. with re-
sources ample enough to provide for the
payment of s.. .000. 900 or Sc. 900 900 to the
friars for their lands. This could not be
done.
General Neutrality Treaty.
Having criticised the proposition of a
general neutrality treaty. Mr.. Foraker
was asked by Mr.. Beveridge whether. In
case of such neutrality. the United States
would be compelled. IL the British Gov
ernment should undertake to compel the
Filipinos to respect the rights Of Brit
ish subject. to go to war with Great Brit
ain.
Undoubtedly" Mr.. Foraker replied;
