New York Commercial Advertiser
The bureau of insular affairs of the war
department has issued pamphlet of for
ty-eight pages which is the most dastardly
blow at Filipino liberty yet struck by
the Tyrant Root. It contains the tele-
graphic correspondence of Aguinaldo be-
tween July Is, 1898. and Feb. 2S,> 1899, the
seven months preceding and following the,
attack by Aguinaldo on the American
troops at Manila on Feb. 4, 1899. The
kilograms were discovered by Captain
John r. NJ. Taylor of the: Fourteenth

And a holy show they make of the

Municipal art commissions are in
fallible after all, as some Minneapolis
people have dared to think. They have
a municipal art commission in New York.
The commission has been criticizing Sc
verely some of the decorative designs for
the new hall of records in course of
construction in that city, and the archi-
tects in charge, having become rather
weary on account of the action Of the
art commission, set a trap for the experts
and caught them. They caused perfect
casts to be made of some. Of the gargoyles
and friezes Of, st. Peters at Rome, the
originals of Michelangelo and Leonardo
da Vinci, and. submitted them to the com
mission The experts. In their superior
wisdom, rejected these figures as inartis-
tic and immature. Now that the facts
have come out all New York is laughing
at the art commission. A little knowledge
of art is dangerous thing.

Concerning Statues,

The president has caused the German
government to be notified that the setting
up Of the statue Of Frederick the Great
of Prussia, presented to the United
States by Emperor William, will have to
be deferred until next year, when the site
on the new war college grounds will be
ready for it. The statue will not. in con-
sequence. be sent from Germany until
next spring.
There has been little enthusiasm shown
In this country over the kaisers gift.
Perhaps, when the statue arrives and is
set up there will be more emotion shown,
but there is no very important reason why
Americans should feel thrills of emotion
over the person and facts accomplished
of Frederick the Great. He sympat hized
with the American colonists in their strug-
gle with Great Britain, but that sympathy
was not altogether disinterested. Like his
father and grandfather, the former the
first king of Prussia, browning himself at
Konigsberg, he was an INSCRIPTIONS war
rior, who wrested Silesia with a heavy
mailed hand from helpless woman and
seized a big slice Of Poland and ruled the
inhabitants with a rod of iron.
It has been suggested that in return for
the statue Of the great military king of
Prussia our government shall present the
kaiser with a statue Of President James
Monroe, which might serve the purpose of
constantly reminding him of the Monroe
doctrine, as a curb to his occidental terri
forial ambitions. Perhaps a less sug-
gestive statue would do The kaisers gift
is practically accepted, although congress
has not acted, but the statue of Mar
uuette, now in statuary hall at Washing
ton was never accepted by congress-
And, speaking Of statues and statuary
hall, the latter ought really to contain
statues only of American public men
touching whom there is reasonable de-
gree Of unanimity favoring the distinction
The controversy over the proposition OF
Virginia, to place a statue Of General
Robert E. Lee in statuary hall ought to be
composed under this principle. The statue
Of Alexander Stephens. vice. president OF
the southern confederacy, is in the hall
sent there by Georgia. It establishes q
precedent for the Virginia insistence or
setting up the Lee statue.
Statuary hall was not intended to arouse
sectional strife It was not intended a.

ers in the war against the union. 1t il

CANNON IS RETICENT NEXT SPEAKER DECLINES TO TALK OF FINANCE. He is En Route to New York Where He Will Confer With Certain
 Captains of Financial
 Indutry.

Washington, D. C., July o0(Special.)- Representative Cannon's presence at two departments this morning drew to him a swarm of newspaper men. He was at the treasury department to see Secretary Shaw supposedly about the financial sit uation preliminary to a trip to New
 York, where he will go tomorrow to an- swer a presumed invitation from cer- tain captains of finance industry to
 discuss what congress may do in the case
 of an elastic currency.
 The next speaker declined to tell just | what he thought and would only consent to be quoted as saying: Nay. nay" l when asked for an expression.
 At the postoffice he made fourth assist
 ant Postmaster General Bristow's office his objective point. There he was in
 earnest conference with the postoffice magnate for an hour or more. He said,
 when he emerged, he was just talking
 over some affairs in his district, and

LAWYER IS SHOT DOWN
DISTRICT ATTORNEY oURLEY
 KILLED IN HIS OFFICE.
Murderer Then Turned the Weapon on Himself and Inflicted Wounds Which Will Probably Cause
 His Death.

New Orleans, July 2o.-District Attorney J. Ward Gurley was assassinated in his office on Canal Street shortly after 10 o'clock today by Louis W. Lyons. formerly clerk. The murderer after shooting the district attorney turned the weapon on himself and put two bullets In his head. He will die A grudxe which Lyons harbored for several years aRair., the district attorney was responsible for the tragedy.
 Several years ago Lyons was arrested charged with the theft of a diamond pin The charge was proved to be unfounded and Lyons was acquitted. Thereupon he entered suit against the complainant for damages, retaining Mir. Guiley. who was at the time United States District Attorney. to represent him. Lyons mortgaged his property to prosecute the suit but lest the case. He charged Mir. Gurley with the responsibility. and has since then been brooding over his wrongs It was learned to- day that he had threatened 10 kill Mir Gurley and himself.
 Mir. Gurley was seated in his office en- gagged in conversation with a gentleman and lady. when Lyons walked in. Lyons imme- diately pulled his pistol and fired and Mir Gurley staggeded out into the hall where he was caught by Lawyer Terriberry. The mur- derer immediately turned the weapon on him. self. Mir. Gurley died in a few minutes. Ly. ons, mortally wounded. was carried to the hos pltal, where it was said there was no hope for his recovery.
 The late district attorney had for years been one of the leading lawyers at the bar Of New Orleans and of irreproachable integrity. He was appointed United States attorney during Mir. Cleveland's s second administration and was slected district attorney three years ago.
 Lyons came from a fine family, and his folks were at time well-to-do. Latterly. how ever. he has been in hard lines. He is mar ried and has grown children.

WILL PROBABLY CAMP HERE.
Second Infantry May Camp a
 Pickett Springs.

The Second Infantry. Col E. H. Graves, commanding. may hold it's practice camp at Montgomery. It is by no means settled that the regiment will camp in Birmingham as was at time thought.
 The probabilities yesterday were that the regiment would go into camp at Pickett Springs although no definite arrangement has been made.
 Col. Graves spent yesterday in Montgomery While here he was in conference with the Board of Directors of the Commercial and Industrial Association in reference to the camp The officials of the Montgomery Trac- tion Company were also consulted. The pend ing negotiations will be brought to a close tomorrow. when 1t Is thought definite am nouncement will be made
 Birmingham has offered more money for the camp than Montgomery. but the transporta- ton charges for the regiment will be much higher should the Magic City be selected. The difference in the transportation charges will probably result in the Seconds coming to Montgomery If the regiment comes here the camp will be held at Pickett Springs The Second is composed of companies from Middle Alabama, the two Montgomery infan- try companies belonging to the regiment.
