banks, leading members of the senate
committee OH immigration, who have
in charge the immigration bill, have
been in conference today with other

THE GREAT CITIZEN.

At the funeral Of the late Abram s.
Hewitt in New York, Bishop Potter read
the following poem, by Richard Watson
Glider:
Mourn for his death. but for his life re-
joice,
Who was the citys heart the citys voice.
Dauntless in youth. impetuous in age.
Keen in debate, in civic counsel sage
Talents and wealth to him were but a
trust
To lift his hapless brother from the Dust
Through years and virtues the great citi-
zen.
BY being great he made the city great
So shall the city win purer fame,
Led by the living splendor of his name.

BAD DAY FOR ORDER
OF SACRED WHITE
ELEPHANT
Payne, the Republican Floor
Leader of the House, Is
Repeatedly Turned Down
While Fighting the Pas
sage of Private Claim Bills.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3d.
This was the last private claims day
of this congress in the house and MEM
bers with bills on the calendar carried
everything before them in committee
of the whole. Forty-five bills in all
We're acted on favorably, despite the
efforts of Mr.. Payne, the Republican
floor leader, assisted by Mr.. Cannon
and others, to defeat some of them.
Many of the claims We're old, dating
back to the Civil war, and a few orig
mated prior to that time. The latter
were for balances due for carrying
mails in the South when the war broke
out. Mr. Payne was particularly in
sistent in his opposition to these bills,
calling attention to the exposure of the
fraudulent character of many similar
claims in the Forty fifth congress. He
expressed the opinion that all these
claims had been paid before. The MEM
bers interested stood their ground, how
ever, and voted him down every time
he demanded a division.
There were several bills to reimburse
postmasters and internal revenue COL
lectors for stamps lost or stolen.
Ice at go Cents Hundred.
One was to pay the balance on a
contract for ice furnished the army
hospitals in the Mississippi valley dur
ing the war. The amount claimed is
$4,000 and is for ice at the rate of 80
cents a hundred pounds. Among the
others were bills to pay George c. Eli
son, an engineer at the capitol in the
'70s, $4,000 for the cost of defending
himself against the charge Of murder
to pay $4,000 to the widow of Samuel
Muhleman, one of the victims of the
old Ford theater disaster, when the
building, in which were employed gov
eminent clerks, collapsed, and to re-
fund the customers of w. NJ. Jacobs,
of Lancaster, Pa, the amount of the
counterfeit stamps purchased from
him.
When the committee of the whole re-
ported the bills to the house, Mr.. Payne
blocked their final passage, thereby
making the point of no quorum. But
the friends of the claims refused to be
baked. A motion was made to recess
until tomorrow morning at 10: 80
o'clock in order to continue the legisla-
tive day of today and the sergeant
arms and his deputies were sent out
to arrest and bring in the absentees
1t was o'clock at night before the
requisite quorum was secured to carry
the motion and let the session go over
until $50 tomorrow forenoon.
The session of the senate was de-
voted TO eulogieS on the late Senator
Mcmillan, of Michigan.

ADJUSTING RATIO OF GOLD
AND SILVER CURRENCY
Secretaries Root and Hay Are Helping
the Matter Along.


WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 30.-The
executive branch of the government Is
not disposed to cease it's efforts to
bring about an adjustment of the ratio
Of gold and silver currency in the
Orient and in other silver using coun-
tries, with the mere presentation to
congress of the Mexican and Chinese
notes yesterday. Secretary Root, who
is opposed to the amended Philippine
currency bill, is urgent in seeking to
remedy the evil financial conditions in
the Philippines, caused, in large part
by fuctuating currency ratios, while
Secretary Hay Is interested in the
proposition because 1t proposes to at
once alleviate the friction now exist
ing because Of the Chinese indemnity
situation.
The secretary is looking towards the
enlargement Of American trade in
South and Central America, where sill
yer is still the standard of value.
Therefore the proposition will be laid
before congress to appoint commits
sion of three members, expert in fnan-
cial matters, to act as representatives
of the United States in an internation-
al money conference on the lines ind1-
Gated by Mexico and China or in con-
sultation on any line of international
exchange that promises success.

FILIPINO LEGALLY DECLARED
TO BE AN ALIEN

interesting Point Decided by District of
Columbia Supreme Court.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 3O.-Justice
Clabaugh. of the district supreme court,
today decided that Antonio NJ. Opisso de
Yeaza, the young Filipino who some
months ago instituted mandamus proceed
ings to compel Clerk John r. Young of
the supreme court to receive his citizen
ship declaration, is still an alien and en-
titled to become citizen of the United
States. His declaration. therefore, was
ordered to be received but an appeal was
taken to. the district court of appeals
The chiefs refusal to accept the declara-
ton was on the ground that Filipino is
not an alien and consequently cannot re-
nounce the allegiance he seeks to relin-
quish.
The Filipino alleged that he was born
of Spanish parents in Manila in 1880 and
lived at Manila until several years ago.
The court held that on the change of
sovereignty of a country, or part thereof
the inhabitants had the right to choose
their allegiance. The Filipino plaintiff
had not declared his intention by the
Paris treaty, but the court held that as
he was a minor at that time he had
right to elect his nationality upon attain
ment of his majority. Opisso had elected
to retain his Spanish citizenship, and
therefore was still an alien and had a
right to apply for citizenship here.

JURY GIVES A FRESH
READING OF LIBEL LAW
Paper Should Not Be Held Responsible for
Error Without Malice.

Error Without Malice.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30-An entirely new
view of newspaper libel was taken by the
jury that has just given the New York
World virtual victory in the case of
Frederick Williamson, who was suing that
newspaper for $4,000 damages.
This view. as expressed by the verdict
is that a newspaper is a natural out
growth of modern conditions and is sim
ply reflection of the life of the COM
munity that supports 1t. neither better
nor worse than the community, and that,
although the World was technically and
legally guilty of libel, it should not be
held financially responsible and be made
to suffer for a slight error, made with
out malice in the honest effort to give
the news that the public demands.
This is the first time a jury in news
paper libel case ever has accepted such a
defense def. as being by itself any j{ustifica-
dict was for the plaintiff, but he was
awarded only 6 cents damages. The item
of news stated that he had committed a
murder, but it was furnished by the
