Several witnesses OF the tragedy re-

Governor Knoblock drew his revolver.
1t appeared that he experienced some
trouble with the weapon. and 1t failed
to explode. Meanwhile Garault whip

on his adversary. That his aim was
true was established by the autopsy
held by the coroner, who found FIVE

fatal. Garault surrendered to the an

said that with the occupation of Ipek,
a general pacification would ensue. A
number of Albanian chiefs at Ipek,

SOLDIERS oBEYED ORDERS.
General Miles Writes of crueIties in
the Philippines.

The Army and Navy Journal prints
in which the writer says he went to
the Philippines not as tourist, but
in an official capacity, and that the
instructions addressed to him as lieu
tenant general commanding the army
came from the highest authority, viz,
the president, in which he was direct
ed to give special attention to ''the in
struction, discipline and supplies of
the army"
in the Philippines General Miles let
ter reads as follows: st is idle to as
sumo that campaigning in the Philip
pines has conditions that warrant re-
sort to medieval cruelty, and that such
departures as have existed should not
be overlooked and condoned.
1T is gratifying that the serious Of
lenses have not been committed by
the soldiers unless they were under
the direct orders of certain officers
who were responsible. Soldiers have
withheld fire when ordered to shoot
prisoners, protested against acts of
cruelty and written to relatives at
home, urging them to take action to
put stop to those crimes. 1t will
ever be one of the glories of the army
that such deeds, committed by what
ever authority, are abhorrent to the
American soldier The officers who
are responsible, using chiefly cruel
Macabebes, do not by any means con-
Btitute the American army"

When the American farmer
rises early In the morning 1t Is to
look over broad and fertile acres
that are his own. When he goes
forth 1t Is to fields that no human

up what, In a vast majority of cases
no greedy and rapacious landlord
can take from him. 1t Is all his.
The proceeds of 1t are to clothe

The apothes sis Ct the base ball
game Is at hand. The one-old-cat
of our grandfathers Is no more. In
Its stead we have a twentieth GEN.
fury brand of ball which takes cogn
lance of the shotgun and revol-
yer as agencies of the game. Near
Atlanta, not long since, an umpire
was given to decisions which made
him unpopular with one of the
contending mines. Three bullets,
placed side by side In his anatomy,
proved powerful deterrent to fur
Their ipjustices, fan cied or real.
The umpire, being deceased, gives
no more decisions. In the course
of the same game an ambitious
player, In an unfortunate attempt
to steal second, was stopped In his
progress by the contents of shot
gun discharged by a player OF the
opposing side, who viewed with
disfavor the effort to acquire an
extra base. Heretofore, dissatis.
faction with the umpire seldom has
taken any shape more serious
than verbal rebuke, which Is vex'
Ing to the official, but not neces-
sarily fatal. And. while strenuous
efforts have been made by the field.
Ing team to restrain the advance OF
the base runners,it Is not on record
that the shotgun has before been
called into play. With the striking
example of the efficacy Of lead fur
nished by our friends of the South.
1t Is possible a revision of the rules
may be brought about. 1t should
be clearly and definitely stated In
the manual, at just what times and
situations of the game 1t may be
permissible to employ the rifle and
the shotgun, and 1t Is further posi-.
BILE that the idea may be broadened
by permitting the 'rolly, the auto.
mobile, and Other advance agents OF
fatalities to be off sally represented

ship games.

Taxation in Greater New York.

Owing to the increase In assess
ments In New York last spring, the
tax rate has been reduced from
$2.27 per $1oo to $40, and 1t Is
predicted that next year the rate
will be $I.2o. 1t Is thought this
will bring back many of those who
have changed their residences to
Newport, for the rate In New York
will then be no higher than in the
Rhode Island city. Itappears that
the increase In assessment and re.
suit In actual decrease of taxes paid.

fords an argument for assessing all
