run ON TRUST COMPANY
BUFFALO INSTITUTION THE VICTIM
OF UNFOUNDED RUMORs,
which Caused Withdrawal Of 100000
Person Who Start d Report to BE
Punished II Caught.

BUFFALO, n. Y, May 9.-There was
run on the Fidelity Trust Company to-day.
The board Of trustees of the trust company
has issued a statement which refers to
rumors current during the last week that
there was a large deficit in one of the
banks, and says: "On Thursday and Friday
the rumor took the form of statement
that the defalcation existed in the Fidelity
Trust Company of Buffalo. 1t was said
that the president had used 100000 of the
money. Another statement was that Geo.
L. Williams had used 100000 of the money
of the company. The results thus far have
been the withdrawal OF some accounts, ag-
gregating possibly 100000. The bank has
offered a reward for information disclosing
the name of the person originating the
rumor."
The trustees pronounce the story to be
absolutely false in every particular
any other officer owes the bank single
dollar. There has been no defalcatton to
the extent of dollar, they say, and the
company has $4.O00.00O available to provide
against any demand. The run had almost
ceased when the trust company closed It's
doors for the day. Owing to the known
stability of the company the presidents of
the other banks in the city volunteered the
announcement that they stand ready to de-

MIR. LEISHMAN'S TROUBLES.
How Our Minister Forced Turkish
officials to Show Courtesy

OmcIaIa 10 snow courtesy.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-An indication of
the troubles experienced by Mr.. Leshman,
United States minister to Turkey, in his
dealings with that government is disclosed
in the Turkish diplomatic correspondence
made public at the State Department to-
day. In a telegram to the department Mr..
Leishman complained that the grand vi
zier, who had repeatedly declined to see
him. had countermanded and annulled
number of matters on which the minister
of foreign affairs had acted favorably.
In order to exhaust every effort, Mr..
Leishman demanded an audience with the
Sultan. Mr.. Leishman requested in his
telegram to Secretary Hay that unless the
audience was granted and not only the
questions at issue but the principles in
volved in them satisfactorily settled, he
be given permission to demand his pass
ports He said further that il would be
worse than useless and derogatory TO the
dignity of the United. States government to
continue relations with the Sublime Porte
If. after weeks and even months of hard
and patient work, business which has been
fully settled with the minister of foreign
affairs is to be rendered unavailing by the
grand viziers conflicting and countermand-
ing orders"
Subsequently Mr.. Leishman reported that
the Sultan had expressed the wish that he
overlook the Giscourtesy shown him. on the
man and not feeling we'll. Emphatic in
structions were sent by the Sultan TO the
grand vizier to receive Mr.. Leishman at
all times In a manner "befitting the dignity
of the representative of a great power"
when Mr.. Leishman consented to resume
relations. Mr.. Leishman subsequently re-
sumed relations with the Porte and diplo-
matte rupture was avoided.

NEEDS OF PHILIPPINES
VIEWS OF HENRY C. IDE, ONE OF
GOVERNOR TAFT'S ADVISERS.
Relief Is Needed from the Burdens of
the Tariff Law-The Land, Friar
and Church Questions.

WASHINGTON, May 9.-Henry C. Ide.
of the Philippine Commission, in state
ment concerning the Philippines to-day,
said: ct should say that the greatest help
that Congress can give us will be to re-
lieve us from the heavy burdens imposed
by the Dingley tariff on the exports from
the islands to the United States 1t is i'm
possible for the Philippine manufacturer of
cigars to send his goods to the United
States without paying tariff amounting
to 20 per cent. of the Dingley tariff or 70
per cent. of $3.50 pound and % per cent.
ad valorem in addition
The restriction which prevents the ac-
QUESTION of more than 2,5o0 acres of land
by one corporation, he says has prevented
the establishment Of sugar industries. He
thinks the limit should be $4,000 acres in
order to secure the opening of large plan
tations.
OF the friar question, Mr.. Ide said: 1.-THE
purpose of the insular government is to ac-
quire the land belonging to the friars, and
then to sell it TO the present occupants
on long-term payments. The friars are
in a sense nonresident owners very much
as are the landlords of Ireland. so that the
difficulties are quite like those existing In
Ireland. They are perhaps aggravated by
the fact that the friars have exercised po-
litical power"
Ito what extent has the establishment
of an independent Catholic Church in. the
Philippines progressed?" Mr.. Ide was
asked.
1T is impossible for an outsider to deter
mine just how extensive that movement
is. On the surface the schism would seem
TO be quite important, but the Catholic
Church is an institution that time counts
very little with. The insular government
takes no part in these controversies and
has no views except TO maintain order 1t
is possible that had the Vatican been able
TO meet Governor Tafts advances for the
sale of the friars' lands and for the with
drawal of the friars from the islands this
schism might have been avoided"

TRIBUTE TO NEWSPAPERS
VIEWS OF JUSTICE ID. j. BREWER,
OF THE SUPREME COURT.
Effect of a Free Press on American
Life-All Parts of the Country
Brought Into Touch.

NEW YORK, May 9.-The New York
World tomorrow will issue an edition of
1876 pages which, it is said, will weigh about
500 tons. Among the contributions is the
following tribute to American newspapers
written by Associate Justice David J.
Brewer of the United States Supreme
Court on the subject, 1.-The Effect Of Free
Press on American Life
Washington, D. c., May /.
F1rst-The effect the press has had on
the recent advance in American life has
been in realizing the constitutional pur-
pose to form more perfect union. Forty
years ago a bitter civil war prevailed.
North and South were enemies. Now sec
tional animoSitieS are disappearing; pa
triotism is becoming universal. The North
eulogizes Lee; the South venerateS Lin
coin New York respects Bryan. South
Caroline honors Senator Hoar. We are
becoming truly one people. What has
brought this about? knowledge of each
other. We may hate those we know; we
never love those We do not know. The
press, which tells us each morning what all
do and say, helps US TO know each other.
New York knows New Orleans and San
Francisco as well as 1t does Brooklyn.
Without the press, even with the telegraph
and the postoffice, what strangers We
should be. knowing each other. we find
how much alike we are; some defects, but
many excellehcies. So, by bringing the
