TREAcAERY AND DECEIT
Charged by Parkhurst Against Funston
in Capture Of AguinaIdo.

New York. March 23--In his sermon,
Sunday morning. the Rey. chas. Park
hurst referred TO the incidents of the
capture of Agurialdo by Gen. Funston
and criticised the. American people, for
condoning what he called deceit and
treachery practiced by Funston in
making the celebrated capture that ut

Philippine leaders.
Wherefore putting away lying,

A deplorable illustra ton Of the gen
eral apathy upon the matter he said
was shown by the easy. popular assent
given to the ignominous treachery up
on the Philippine leader, Aguinaldo, by
our army officer, Funston--a treachery
ordered and approved by Gen Mac
Arthur. The facts in the case We're

his men in the uniform worn by Fill

forged letter pretending that they

OF hospitality and the law of God.
Dr. Parkhurst concluded by saying:

the effort to fool myself.

Strike Sentiment Growing and Order
May Be Expected, Thursday. ~

Lowell. Mass, March 23.-The strike
sentiment among the textile operatives
in this city is growing and conditions
as they exist at the present time point
to the declaration of a strike order by
the Textile Council at the special meet
ing called for Thursday When every
thing that has been said and done in
connection with the movement for the
increase of 10 per cent. in wages has
been sifted down it must be admitted
that the representatives Of the Textile
Council are not yet fully decided them
selves as, t2. tbs. action that shall be
taken. Their attitude. today, appears
To warrant fhe statement that they are
inclined to strike. but that they are
waiting for the presentation of new
proposition which may delay tie an
nouncement of an official uftimatum.
All the pressure possible has been,
brought to bear on the officers of the
Textile Council to extend the time linn
it. but they appetr to he unmovabie.
and from their action it would seem
that they are determined TO force the
issue as they say in their report of
Sundays meeting without the inter-
vention of outside eIe3feti!s.F. ;lG :
Judging from recent events it is APP
parent that unless the agents make
some kind of an overture to the opera:
tiveS the strike order will: surely be
realized and from what the agents say
it is improbable that any step will be
taken by the manufacturers tn the

IN these cities, the men should receive

With the result that the strike was en- :
dorsed and financial aid promised.

of the assessment was not given out.
as the council does not wish the manu-
factui ers to know the financial strength
of the body before other strikes are
actually announced, in case they
should be decided upon. 1t is under :
stood that the plan adopted provides
for an emergency fund OF $4,000 to be
raised Immediately through an assess
ment of about 81 per member. This is
TO be devoted to immediate needs or
used as Il defense fund in anticipation
of other strikes.
Plans We're also made for prompt
organization among the some $500 ring
spinners in this city who at present
have no organization. The emergency
committee was empowered to act in the
matter and Will probably put organic
ers in the field at once.
The question of jurisdiction over the
silk Workers who have applied to the
American Federation of Labor for a

length. The sentiment of the council
was that the textile workers must in
sist upon jurisdiction over the silk

the charge of poisoning her husband,

senic, and whose sentence of death was
commuted to penal servitude for life,
will be released in 1904.

able to personally testify.
Those who are in a position to know,
say that Home Sec Akers- Douglas
has shown great courtesy in connection
with the suits now pending in Amer
lea, that the decision to release Mrs.
Maybrick was entirely due to efforts OH
this side of the Atlantic and that AM
bassador Herbert has never been called
upon to act in this matter
Mrs. Maybrick, who was Miss Flor
cnce Elizabeth Chandler. and Il men,
her of ii well-known and prosperous
Southern family. was married. July
y. 1881. in St. James church. Picca-
dily. to James Maybrick of Liverpool.
She was then Is years of age, vivicious
and beautiful and Il social faVoritr.
Her husband was over 40 years old. In
the spring of 1889 Maybrick became ill
and in a few days he died. His broth
ers investigated his death and charged
Mrs. Mayb"ick with the murder of her
husband. a London trial followed and
number of doctors swore Mr.. May
brick died of arsenical poisoning. The
defence proved that for 20 years Mr..
Maybrick had been a confirmed arsenic
eater, that he daily took doses that
would have killed Il dozen ordinary
men. Mrs. Maybrick was eventually
sentenced To death by the judge, Sir
Fitzjames Stenhen, who spoke for two
DAYS in charging the jury and who
said 1t was impossible for them to find
her guilty in the face of the medical
evidence. He died some time later in
Il mad house.
From the time of Mrs. Maybricll's-
conviction her mother. the Baroness f..
Won Eoques. had been unremitting in
her attempts to obtain the prisoners
release. in which she has been aided
by influential friends on both sides of
the Atlantic. In 1900. after the death
of Lord Russell of killowen, chief JUS
tiCe of England. letter which he had
written to Mrs. Maybrick in 1895 was
dis overed. 1t showed that the emil
nent laWYer was convinced that she
ought never to have been convicted and
ii has been generally understood that
all the recent American ambassadors
to the court of st. James have done
everything possible to obtain Mrs.
NaybriCk's pardon.
Had she not been able to testify in
