cEAFFEE MAKES ADDRESS.
Gives Some Reasons for Campaign
Against the Moros.

New York. April 25-Major Gen.
eral Adan K. Chaffee, in an address on
"The Physical Aspect of the Philip.
pines at the social meeting of John
ID. Rockefeller, Jr.. Bible class in the
Fifth Avenue Baptist church, gave
some of the reasons for the campaign
against the Moros. He said in part:
I'm February of last year. after we
had had soldiers killed. shot down in
the outskirts of camp by the natives
We were trying to treat with Kindness
We saw that there was no other way
than force. l 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 soldiers. 1t was on May 2 that
General Baldwin took the fort of the
dattO who was insOlent and refused
to surrender the prisoners.
I'VE didn't get on very good terms
with these Moros. They are very sus.
piciOus and want to be left alone. We
didn't want to disturb their religion or
their customs, except where, in the lat.
ter respect, we could help them. You
have recently heard Of Captain Per.
shing. who is in the Moro country now
Well. to illustrate, l may say that
there was one sultan whom Captain
Pershing invited time and again tC
come and talk with him and instead
OF coming the sultan kept fortifying
himself all the year and finally waved
his old red flag at us and dared us to
come on. We came. and the sultan
isn't there any more"

Lincoln. Neb.. April 25-Passengers
on Burlington train No. Al were held
up and robbed of $1,000 as the train
was leaving the Burlington union sta.
ton in Lincoln. The train has been
robbed three times within 100 miles of

and no trace of them has ever been
found.
The latest job was accomplished
mostly while the passengers from
branch and feeder lines of the Burling.
ton were in the depot awaiting the ar
rival of transcontlnental trains. Many
of the persons in the depot were asleep
and did not know they had been robbed
until aroused by the noise Of the train
pulling into the station. The presence
of the robbers was first discovered by
a woman. She screamed and the peo-
pie in the waitingroom gathered
around. Investigation proved ma.
jority Of them had been robbed. The
confusion permitted the robbers to es

known on board an immigrant sleeper.

HEARING is CONTINUED.
Cnarge OF Conspiracy Against Coal
Carrying Roads.

New York, April 25.-President
George r. Baer of the Philadelphia
ana Reading Railroad company was
present when the interstate commerce
commission resumed its hearing on the
complaint of William r. Hearst
against the anthracite coal CARRYING
roads.
Joseph ]. Jermyn. an independent
operator of Scranton, testified that he
sold his coal to the Susquehanna Coal
company. He promised to send a copy
OF his contract to the commission.
Prior to 1898 his company was paid
55 per cent of the tidewater price OF
coal, but now received IS per cent
The price was less than IS. He pre-.
ferred selling to coal company
rather than to market his coal in.
dividually.
President Baer of the Reading com.
pany. Philadelphia Coal company, Cen.
tral OF New Jersey railroad and TEN.
pie Iron company was next called. He
said he was president of so many com.
panies he could not remember the
names Of them all. The annual re.
port of the Reading company, Mr.. Baer
said, will show all the properties con.
trolled by that holding company. Some
OF the companies. whose stock is SC
controlled, he said, mine coal. some
carry coal, some deal in coal and some
mine and operate in iron. He could
not give offhand the capital stock OF
the companies.
Mr.. Baer said about SO per cent OF
the mining properties of the anthra
cite region are owned or controlled
by the Philadelphia and Reading com
pany. About 21 per cent of the coal
produced is owned by the Philadelphia
and Reading company.
Mr.. Baer added that some of his
contracts with the coal operators were
purchasing and some transportation
The coal was purchased by a railroad
company. which had authority in its
charter to deal in coal.

Are Americans.

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 80 in
Prussia, on the ground that they are
propagating form of religious belief
incompatible with the laws of the state
and public morals and because polyg-
amy is not excluded from their doc.
trines.
The missionaries, who are all Amer.
leans. will be allowed sufficient time
to settle up their personal affairs.
The government of Prussia defines
the expusions as being simply po.
lice measure for which no explanation
need be made.
Peters Lanterns, a German natu.
rallied in Utah, first organized mis-.
sionary work here in 1896. He was
succeeded in 1899 as bishop by Arnold
Schultheiss, Swiss. naturalized in
Utah, who directed one hundred mis-.
sionaries. Hugh J. Cannon replaced
him in 1900 and the latter has steadily
increased the number of Mormon
preachers and has nearly doubled the
membership, which is now 4,OOO
Cause Continual Trouble.
When Mormon arrived in a Ger.
man village he would rent a hall and
begin to preach the new faith and the
common result was that the local
pastor Of the state church or the Cath.
olic priest OF the parish would com.
plain to the police. who not infre.
quently ordered the missionary to
leave. The latter then would tele.
graph to the bishop in Berlin, who.
through the United States embassy,
would obtain a suspension of the po.
lice order indefinitely or its cancella.
ton. The foreign Office, owing to the
number of cases pending, took up the
subject with the view of settling the
status of the Mormons for good in.
stead of being bothered by numerous
individual cases. The result has been

course is likely to be followed by Sax

sionaries, and by other states
Mr.. Cannon, who has been informed
OF the decision, has not yet determined
what to do, but he will endeavor to
obtain reversal of the policy.
