tion Of Independence In the archipel-

tnenting on the election statute,
which the Philippine Commission
regards as It's MASTER piece, the
Massachusetts Senator suggested
that it was not as fair aud impartial
as it seems. This law, it appears,
was framed so that the Filipinas
might express their unbiased opin-
ion Of certain questions of a political
nature. Election was held, ca

lieve that the United States is pro-

pose. " There is a fine old hymn
which recites how Providence
moves in mysterious way, His
wonders to perform. 1t applies
with peculiar force to the Philip
pines, where the Declaration of In
dependence is regarded as an 'in-
cendiary document, - and the read
ing of it on the Fourth OF July is
penitentiary oifense. Truly, theex-
tension OF free government to the
Filipinos is accomplished in mys-
terious aud wonderful way. Ism

The Brooklyn was alone-"On our
starboard side were the four Span

visible and each one OF them firing.
II Schley had given the slightest
indication at that moment that he

from the shadow OF the turret and
took the range. 1900 yards he
sang out aud turned to step back.
The next moment his headless body
dropped to the deck. A six-pound
shell had knocked his head oil. Two
men were about 10 throw the body

McGRAW FOR NEW YORK.
A Beautiful Dream Of a Metropolitan
Sporting Editor.

A special from New York says that John
McGraw, at present manager Of the Balti-
more Club, of the American League, may
soon be aptain-manager of the New York
club The young Napoleon of base tall has
for some time been ready to sign with
President Freedman. The one thing that
has stood in the way. up to the present
time, is McGraw's inability to secure his
release from the Baltimore Club.
Ban Johnson of the American League has
been in continual hot water with McGraw
ever since the latter made the American
League possible in the east by organizing
club in Baltimore. He has disciplined Nc
Graw on several occasions, and just at
present the Oriole manager is under indefin-
lite suspension for having refused to leave
the field last Saturday when ordered to do
so by Umpire Connolly.
If McGraw took hold of the New York
team and organized a raid on the American
League this city would soon have team
worthy of the name. For the second time
this season Joe Kelly is under the arbitrary
ban Of the American League president.
Kelly is under indefinite suspension, end
there is a chance that he would come here
with McGraw. OF course, under National
League law, Kelly belongs to the Brooklyn
Club. The Brooklyn management was Will
ing last December to release him to the
New York Club.
