Gen. Chaffee Tells About n Moro
Sultan Who Insisted On Fight
in the United States.

New York, April 25.-Gen. Adna r
Chaffee, in an address on "The Phys
ical Aspect of the Philippines" at the
social meeting of John D. Rockefel.
ler's Bible class in the Fifth Avenue
Baptist church, Thursday, gave some
of the reasons for the campaign
against the Moros. He said in part:
I'm February, last year, after we
had had soldiers killed, shot down in
the outskirts of camps by natives we
were trying to treat with,we saw that
there was no other way than force. ]
went down to the Moro country in
person to investigate, and ultimately
we went to the datto and demanded
some of the murderers of our sol.
diers. 1t was on May 2 that Gen,
Baldwin took the fort of the datto,
who was insolent and refused to sur.
render the prisoners.
"We did not get or very good terms
with these Moros. They are a very
suspicious people, and want to be left
alone. For the matter of that, we
did not want to disturb their religion
or their customs, except where, in
the latter respect, we could help
them. You have recently heard OF
Capt. Pershing, who is in the Moro
country now. Well, to illustrate,
may say that there was one sultan
whom Capt. Pershing had invited
time and time again to come and tall
with him, and instead of coming, the
sultan kept terrifying himself all the
year, and finally waved his old rec
flag at us and dared us to come on
We came, and the sultan isn't there
any more"

JOINT PROTEST CONSIDERED.
British Foreign Office AnxiOusly
Awaits Further News Concern
ing Russia's Movements.

London, April 25.-There is in o m
temptation a forcible joint protest on
the part of Great Britain, the United
States and Japan against the Russian
demands in the matter of the sover-
eighty of Manchuria.
Sir Ernest Satow, British minister
to China, in a dispatch to the foreign
office confirmed the synopsis of the
note addressed to China by M. Plan
con, Russian charge d'affaires at Pc
kin. Further official advices regard
ing the intentions of the Chinese gov
eminent and, explanations from St.
Petersburg are awaited anxiously.
The foreign office authorizes the
statement that if the Chinese govern
ment correctly represents Russia's
claims, these claims constitute an abb
solute breach of all the undertakings
given in connection with Manchuria
and utterly abrogate the PRINCIPLES
of the open door, territorial division
and international comfy to which the
British government constantly and
public has committed itself.

URGE TARIFF REVISION.
Manufacturers Join Farmers for the
PRONUNCIATION of the
"IOwa Idea"

The National Association of Manu-
facturers. have been holding a con-
vention, and amongst the resolutions
reported for consideration was one
urging tariff revision on general
lines" Last year at their convention
at Detroit a similar resolution was
adopted, but the republican congress
paid no attention to such demands.
Manufacturers have discovered that
the tariff tax pinches them as we'll
as the consumers, and by advancing
the cost of living forces increased
wages. They have also discovered that
the tariff fosters trusts and that the
trusts obliterate competition and adj
anc prices, thus still more increas-
ing the cost of living and wages. The
manufacturers of farm machinery are
paying enormous prices for their lum-
Der and iron, both highly protected,
and this comes out of the farmers in in
creased cost of farm machinery.
The boot and shoe manufacturers
find that the duty on hides makes dear
boots. The paper manufacturers COM
plain that the duty on wood pulp in
creases the cost of paper. and the list
might be continued to include all kinds
of raw material. Most of these manu-
f%acturers have felt the pinch of the
increased duties demanded by foreign
countries on goods they sell for export;
for all the European countries except
England are trying in this way to keep
olt our goods as II protective tariff
keeps out most of theirs. There is
where the farmer is again interested,
for most of these countries are. in
creasing their duties on American ag-
ricultural products to protect their
W agriculturists. If Europe should
have good crops-which has not been
the case for four years, and this coun-
try should be fortunate in having an
other favorable season-the price of
same farm products will drop to those
of ten years since, and our farmers will
have a hard time to make both ends
meet again.
When Europe has short crops they
are compelled to buy of us, or of other
countries who raise a surplus, but
they purchase these necessities where
they can buy them cheapest, tariff or
no tariff.
In the end the farmers and the work
ingman pay the tariff tax, and the lat
ter gets but a very small advantage by
the increase of wages for his living
expenses are advanced in proportion.
The farmer who has to sell in COMPETE
ton with the whole world bears the
greatest burden, for he also has to pay
more for what he buys and has no pro.
lection on what he sells.
With the manufacturers demanding
revision of the tariff to suit them, il
should. not be difficult for the people
who pay the greater portion of the
taxes it imposes from charging the re-
vision to relieve them of the greater
burden.

Time for Revision.

Secretary Root has some elevated
notions about the revision of the tar
iff, but they can never be attained.
The way to revise the tariff is to re-
wise it; that is, go at it and have a
party fight over it. The existence of
parties is a necessary thing to our in
situations, and while they are in ex-
istence they must be in almost con-
slant opposition to each other. We
hear a great deal about the tariff be-
ing revised, when it becomes actual
ly necessary to change it, by it's
friends. The republican leaders call
themselves it's friends, in the sense
that we have now a high protective
tariff. That, though, will probably
never be. The democrats will have to
take another hand in the work. The
time for revision has been ripe a long
time. The excess in tariff is piling
up an unnecessary surplus in the
treasury. The republican leadership
has been adding and dallying with
the question, and will continue to do
so till the people rise up in their
might and make a change in the gov
eminent at Washington. The tariff
must be revised by the friends OF
good and honest government.-Cin.

RUSsIA'S DEMANDS ON CHINA.
Russia's Action is a Distinct Breach
of Faith With the United states
as to the Open Door.

Washington, April 25.-Minister
Conger, from Pekin, has cabled to
Secretary Hay a synopsis of the de-
mands made upon China by Russia
respecting control of Manchuria.
This account agrees precisely with
the full and accurate press report
of Russia's last coup from the Chi
nese capital. Secretary Hay will take
no action in the matter until he has
communicated the facts to the presi-
dent and has learned the latter's
wishes.
The present impression here is that
the Russian action is a distinct
breach of faith withthe United States.
The Russian government pledged it
self three times formally, and the
documents are of record, that the
open door should be maintained in
Manchuria and Russian troops would
be withdrawn as soon as peace was
restored. Finally, the latter promise
took the shape of a treaty stipulation.
1t was provided that the evacuation
should take place within three dis
tinct periods. The last Russian sol
der should have quit Manchuria on
the, Sth of this month, according to
that treaty. But a plausible explana-
ton for a temporary retention of the
remaining Russian troops was offered
by Russia in the claim that the
country was still disturbed, and that
vigorous military methods were nes-
essary in the interest of sanitation.
Officials declare that there is no dam
ger of war with Russia over this in

DRIFT OF OPINION.

Most likely Americans could SUR
vive now with much less monopoly
than the Morgans and the Hills bestow
upon them.-Chicago Chronicle.
Secretary Shaw takes an occa-
sional turn at defending the high tar
if. but still it does not improve in
public estimation. 1t is, no doubt, un-
derstood that Mr.. Shaw defends the
tariff because he has to.-Cincinnati
Enquirer.
The existing high tariff could not
for a moment continue to receive the
approval of a majority of the voters
but for the cunningly devised fable
that it is in the interest of the laboring
masses of the country. The inexor-
able logic of in%contestable facts shows
that this is not true. Whenever the
masses of the voters that labor come
to see this a lowering of tariff sched-
ules will be inevitable.-Louisville
Courier-Journal.
Uncle Hanna declares that Mr..
Roosevelt is undoubtedly the founda-
ton of this great government, which
is, of course, fiattering to Mr.. Roose-
welt. 1t may be doubted, however,
whether Messrs. Morgan, Hill and
their downcast coadjutors entertain
the same opinion, and those gentlemen
cut quite a quantity of ice when Uncle
Hanna makes the rounds with his his
toric skillet. The disagreement is most
MISUNDERSTANDING Chronicle.
just as long o. a great majority
of the American people shall be will
ing to pay an enormous bonus to every
industrial trust in the form of high
prices, which are possible because Of
the Dingley tariff, so long will the

European manufacturers. Not only
the American people, but the trusts

The question still is: What shall
we do with the Philippines?-or as
Bishop Potter very early put it:
"What will they do with us?" Will
the American people accept as true
the despairing cry of a Filipino pa.

the powerful are bound to respect?'

Berlin, April 25.-The governments
of Prussia and of the grand duchy Of
Mecklenburg have decided to expel
the Mormon missionaries, of whom
there are 145 in Germany and 90 in
Prussia, on the ground that they are
propagating a form of religious be-
lief incompatible with the laws of the
state and public morals, and because
polygamy Is not excluded from their
doctrines. The missionaries, who are
all Americans, will be allowed suffi-
Gent time to settle up their personal

A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge Of Mysteries, is

that governing a child involves; il lis impossible for her to do anything
calmly. She cannot help it, as her condition is due to suffering and

With the Indians for Relinquish-

West of the Mississippi.

st. Paul Mimi, April 24.-Alexander
Ramsey ex-governor of Minnesota,
secretary of war under President
Hayes, for two terms United States
senator from Minnesota and for whom
the county in which St. Paul is To-
Gated was named. died at his home in
this city Wednesday night, aged So
years. Mr.. Ramsey had suffered since
the middle of February from an at.
tack of the govt but was progressing
~favorably and his death came unex-
pectedly. He was surrounded at the
last by his surviving relatives.
A Pennsylvania by Birth.
Gov. Ramsey was born in Pennsyl-
vania in 1915 and came to Minnesota
in 1S49 as territorial governor. When
the state government was organized
Gov. Ramsey took a prominent part
in the deliberations of the constitu.
tional convention and was elected gov
ernor in 1860. He was active in Or
ganizing the states military forces
for service during the period of civil
strife, and in 1868 was elected United
States senator, being reelected in
1869. He supported all the war meas
ures of President Lincoln's admins
t%ration, and took a prominent part in
the discussions of the momentous
questions of the reconstruction Pc
riod. He was chosen by President
Hayes as secretary of war in 1879 and
served until the advent of the Gar
field administration. In 1882 he was
appointed chairman of the commits
sion created by the Edmunds law re-
lating to polygamy.
Territorial Achievements.
The greatest achievements of Gov.
Ramsey's territorial administration
were his successful treaties with the
Indians at Mendoza and Traverse Des
Sioux in 1851. The vast area of terri
tory west Of the Mississippi was
owned by the Sioux, and white men
were not permitted TO settle thereon.
The c~ession of this territory to the
government required the formal au-
thorization of congress-, and two
years were spent by Gov. Ramsey and
his associates in efforts to secure the
proper assent. But at last the treat
les were authorized and in July, 1851
at Traverse Des Sioux (near St. Pc
ter) and in August of the same year
at Mendoza, treaties were made by
Gov. Ramsey and a special United
States commissioner with the Sioux
chiefs and "head men," who coded al
of their remaining lands in Minneso
tn to the United States-eXcepting {
tract ten miles in width, on either
side of the Minnesota river from 81
miles above Traverse Des Sioux, OIL
the east to Lake Traverse, on TIL
west. The result was the opening tt
white settlement of a great expans'
of fine fertile country, 100000 900 acre.
in extent.
