age. Miss Barton is now in her seventy
fourth year and yet she formulates plan
Of organization for a new society which is
to embrace the world. No woman OF the
present or OF any other age has been as
closely identified with great humanitarian
movements as Clara Barton has been. She
has been on more battlehelds than any
other woman that ever lived. Her work
during the civil war on battlehelds and in
aid Of wounded men was without prece-
dent. She was the originator Of the Red
Cross and president OF the society from its
organization, and she has superintended
the distribution of more and larger relief
funds in war and famine than any other
person. 1t is astonishing to find a person
with such a laborious record moving at
her age for the organization of a new
branch of the Red Cross to cover an entire
ly new field of philanthropic endeavor.

NOT GUILTY OF SEDITION
DORR AND O'BRIEN, NEWSPAPER
MEN OF MANILA, ACQUITTED.
Were Charged with Libeling ONCE
holders-OmciaI Report on Recent
Casualties at Tacarac.

MANILA, May 2.-The Supreme Court
has decided that Dorr and O'Brien. re-
spectively proprietor and editor of Free
dom, are not guilty of sedition. Messrs.
Dorr and OBrien were arrested on the
charge of sedition in publishing an article
from an American periodical, to which the
editor of Freedom agreed, and added re-
marks of his own, censuring the United
States Commissions rule. The main
charges made were that in many cases the
Filipino officeholders were rascals, and that
the commission had exalted to the highest
positions F'ilipinos who were VIGOROUSLY
corrupt The conviction of Dorr and
O'Brien, on the charge of libeling Benito
Lesarga a native member of the Philip
pine commission, was confirmed by the
Supreme Court.
The government passed an act requiring
receivers of public funds 10 deposit them
promptly and providing for monthly ex-
animation of the accounts of disbursers.
The object is to stop frauds and defalca-
tions. Eight cases OF serious dishonesty on
the part of American officials were dis
covered during the past year. Some of the
defalcations were heavy, but the bonds OF
the defaulters covered all the losses.
Two thousand native houses have been
DESTROYED by fire in the Tondo district of
Manila. About 5000 persons are homeless
and are being fed and sheltered by the
municipality The damage is estimated at
200, 900 pesos.
The cable ship Colonia has arrived here.
She will leave Manila for Guam shortly.

The sympathetic and easy Southern
ers who have been sending their good
money to hotel chambermaid in this city
on the strength of a sensational story that
she had been discharged from an Indianap-
oils hotel because she refused to make
Booker Washingtons bed. will be deeply
grieved by the statement OF the hotel man
agement that the woman was not dis
charged but left of her own accord, pre-
sumably because of reprimand from the
housekeeper for her disobedience of GER
tain rules, and that she made Mr.. Wash
ington's bed without protest or sign of
aversion to the task after his first nights
stay. The fiery Southerners who have been
approving her supposed conduct by check
will now be wanting to know If there is
any way to get their money back. Next
time they should wait till all the returns
are in.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Postmaster
General Payne to-day received the official
report of the investigation into the recent
intimidation of John Allgood, the colored
rural free delivery carrier at Gallatin,
Tenn. The report says that only two per-
sons were involved in the affair, and that
the sentiment of the community does not
uphold their act. Allgood has resigned as
rural mail carrier on the ground that con-
tinuance in the service would endanger his
life The postmaster general said tonight
that the resignation had not yet been ac-
cepted, but that tomorrow he hoped to dis
pose of the case and to announce his de-
cision as to resumption of service. The
Civil-service Commission is now looking
into the papers connected with Allgood's
examination for the appointment, it being
stated that his rating was made higher
than Ii should have been.

CLEVELAND. o., May 20.-The three

of the Indianapolis hero, says: Neither
power. nor station, nor position Rad attrac-
tons for his ambition. He put away from
him, gently but firmly. many honors that
were almost thrust upon his unwilling &C

simply as a lawyer, earnestly as man
and lovingly as the benefactor of all who
knew him." The memorial also pays trib-

ranked among the ablest in the West The
memorial was signed by Philip w. Frey,

Objects to Bowen's Footnote.

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Because Sir
Michael Herbert and other representatives
of the powers took exception to certain
footnotes included in the Blue Book Of
Venezuela, the State Department has as
sured them that the book was prepared by
Mr.. Bowen, and is not to be considered an
official publication of the department.
The note appears at the foot of one of
the exchanges. Mr.. Bowen adds word
in explanation to the effect that the above
note was dictated late at night to the
British and Italian ambassadors and the
German minister, and by them cabled to
their respective governments The diplo-
mats concerned objected to the word s.ciic-
tated. because they felt that the inference
might he drawn that they were taking in
structions from Venezueia's plenipOten-
tiary. The German ambassador has re-
Trained from the controversy altogether.

COTTON STILL SOARING
ANOTHER SENSATIONAL FURRY IN
THE NEW YORK MARKET.
Bears and Bulls Succeed Each Other
i'm Control and Prices Become
Excited and Irregular.

NEW YORK, May 20.-The cotton mar
ket opened at an advance of 2G4 points
and ruled fully as excited, more irregular
and erratic, though possibly hardly so ac-
tive as during some of the days last week.
The initial advance was due to further COW
ering and aggressive bull support following
cables which were sensationally strong.
The realizing, however. was enormous and
after prices had been worked still further
upward there came break of about 10QlS
points from the best of the morning. On
the decline rumors circulated that
certain Philadelphia interests and the lead
er of the late New England clique had
combined to oppose the bull faction and
would stubbornly resist the advancing tend
ency of values. Later this was denied and
a counter rumor was circulated to the eff
feet that the New Orleans bull had come
to understand that the Philadelphia spot
interest would enable him to accept
all the old crop cotton rendered: This rumor
gained general circulation late in the after
noon and was responsible for one of the
most exciting advances yet recorded. Prices
meantime had become irregular, fiuctuat-
ing up and down as the bulls and then the
bears gained temporary control Of the sit

TuE VISITING Gas MEN.

AS the meeting of artificial gas manufac-
turers now being held in this city is the
twenty-sixth annual convention it is evil
dent some of them have been dispensing
light for good while. Probably they have
also dispensed some dividends in the mean
time. The company in this city was organ
lied under a special charter Of the Leg
islature of 1851 for thirty years with cap
ital stock of $4,000. An ordinance of the
council gave the company a monopoly Of
lighting the streets and houses for fifteen
years, but the people by a popular vote
refused to light the streets. 1t was not
till the fall of 1853 that street lamps were
Meridian and Pennsylvania, and even then
they were supported at the expense of the
property owners In 1867, when the COM
pany's fifteen-year contract expired. there
began a contest for renewal which
lasted nearly two years. 1t ended in the
company getting a new contract by which
it agreed to furnish gas for twenty years
at So per thousand. During that contest
and at intervals since the company has
taken a fatherly interest In local politics.
1t is believed gas companies have a ten
dency that way.
To what extent artificial gas is being
supplanted by electricity for manufacture
ing purposes the Journal cannot say, but
it is coming into use very rapidly. for fuel
purposes. According to the last census the
total quantity of gas sold in the United
States for lighting and heating during the
year 1900 was s., 265, 496. les cubic feet, in
crease of 81 per cent. over the quantity sold
in 1890. The capital invested in the business
increased from $685. 771.745 in 1890 to s567. OOO.
SOC in 1900.
The association might do well to consid-
er means of minimizing the danger to
health and property from escaping gas.
The National Board of Fire Underwriters
has published table of gas losses, COM
piled from data furnished by fifteen COM
panies, which shows that over IA per cent.
of the total product of gas plants leaks
into the streets and houses of cities sup
piled. This Is a constant menace to life
and property, through explosion and as
phyxiation, and it is source OF constant
loss to companies.
The Journal wishes the gas men pleas
ant and profitable meeting. They will find
much to approve in the city, and if they
find anything to condemn it is hoped they
will make light of it. They can have any,
thing they want-by meter measurement.

where Ohio had ceased TO he an agriculture

FRUIT TRADE FAILURE
RECEIVERS APPOINTED FOR THE
PORTER BROS COMPANY.
Big Chicago Concern, with Branches
I'm Several Cities and Extensive
Operations i'm California.

CHICAGO, May 20.--Bankruptcy proceed
ings against the Porter Brothers Company,
one of the largest fruit commission houses
in the country were begun secretly in the
United States District Court yesterday and
to-day it became known that receivers had
taken charge of the company's affairs.
John McLaren, former vice president of the
Union National Bank and Henry l.. Wilson,
lawyer, were directed by Judge Kohlsaat
to take charge Of the assets of the cor
poration. This was done on application of
several creditors, who alleged that the con-
Germ was insolvent and that its officers
had made preferential payments. Until
the return Of James S. Watson, president
of the Porter corporation, the receivers do
not expect to find out much about the finan-
cial condition of the company. President
Watson is expected to arrive in Chicago to-
morrow. Attorneys De Frees, Brace and
Ritter, who represent the receivers, said
that they could not estimate the liabilities
probable, however, that the debts will prove
to be larger than the assets, which are
worth from 100000 to 100000 The concern
was capitalized for sl,000,00e and had a high
financial rating.
The stores of the company in Chicago are
at 81 South Water street and at &c River
street. The concern also owns large branch
houses in New York, Boston, Minneapolis
and at several places in California. The
announcement Of the action in court against
the Porter Brothers Company caused a
commotion in South Water street.
The commission house of Porter Brothers
was started in 1869 by Washington Porter
and his brother Fred, who died several
years ago. About 1886 the corporation
known as the Porter Brothers Company
was formed and Mr.. Porter drew out of it.
The present officers are James s. Wat
son, president; John Adams. treasurer; F.
E. Chairman, secretary, and Stephen G..
Palmer. vice president. The company is
one of the largest dealers in fruit in Cali
fornia and its operations In Santa Clara
county have been extensive.
