stock went up so rapidly that her owner,
MA. H. Fulton Of Loudoun was offer

the jump, whereas he would have sold

was the practice TO hire horses and car
riages for the use Of the secretary, paying
therefor from the public funds l am in
formed that since the close of the civil war

Deposed Chicago Appraiser Says
Civil-Service Law Has Been
Violated.

CHICAGO, Feb. Human 7. Hoy as
sumed the duties of United States appraiser
for the port of Chicago to-day, succeeding
Gen. II. n. Thomas. who refused to resign,
but whose term of office ended when Mr.
Hoy was appointed by President Roosevelt
and the appointment confirmed by the Sen
ate. The new appraiser and the retiring
one shook hands when the former appeared
TO take charge. Later General Thomas said
ne would have "some interesting communi-
cations to make public"
Mr.. Hoy was the manager of the cam
paign which resulted in the election of AL
bert j. Hopkins to the United States Senate
This afternoon General Thomas made
public n letter which was forwarded by him
10 Secretary of the Treasury Shaw, bitterly
protesting against the change and particu-
larly against letter from the secretary in
timatng that General Thomas had become
incapacitated for vigorous administration;
that the generals resignation was not want

DIETRICH ASKS FOR A
HEARING AND GETS IT
Committee to Investigate the
Charges Against the Nebraska
Statesman.
MIR. MORGAN ON PANAMA

WASHINGTON, Feb. lin the Senate
to-day M. Dietrich. of Nebraska, made a
request for an investigation into charges
on which he was tried recently by a Fed
eral Court in his own State and the Senate
granted the request, the president pro TEN.
appointing a committee consisting of
Messrs Hear, Plat of Connecticut,
Spooner, Cockrell and Pettus to make the
inquiry.
The remainder of the day was devoted to
argument by Mr.. Morgan in support
of the resolution introduced by Mr.. Stone
directing the Senate committee on foreign
relations to make an investigation into the
Panama revolution. Mr. Morgan again
criticised the conduct of NJ. Bunau-Varilla
i'll connection with the revolt and spoke of
the treaty as a concession to the CONNER
cial spirit of the age.
Mr.. Morgan declared that there is a spirit
of political domination toward the minority
in the Senate which regards as lese mai
esty any effort TO secure information as
TO the Presidents part in the affairs in
which the Senate is interested. Under the
circumstances he could not bind himself
to a contract to be filled out by the Panama
Canal Company as under the terms of Ar
ticle. % of the treaty that company
would have the right TO do. Under that
article MI hoisdh asserted tnere Is no
limit as TO the amount 10 be paid 10 the
company.
Mr.. Morgan asserted that Panama could
have no choice but TO do the will of the
canal company This could not however
explain the voluntary act of the United
States in tying its own hands I'm the inter-
est of the company. In this connection he
discussed the part played by the republic
OF France in the Panama negotiations say
ing that the United States had made in
Article % a surrender To fraud and iniquity
and that IL had done so under pressure from
France.
Discussing the terms of the treaty Mr.
Morgan declared that in effect il had been
made between the United States ana the
canal company. and he said the company
could afford to pay to Panama $4,000. 900
of her winnings in a game which was with
out equal in depravity." He closed with
the declaration that the South would not
support the agreement at the expense OF
the honor OF the country.

CIVIL GOVERNMENT IN
THE PHILIPPINE ISLANDS
Governor Taft Says American
Catholic Bishops Will Weld
Powerful Influence. :
DISSOLUTE AMERICANS

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.-The President
to-day sent to the Senate the annual report
of the Philippines commission. including the
report of the civil Governor OF the Philip
pine islands and the representatives OF
heads of the executive departments for the
period ending Dec. 81. 1903. The report con-
tains detailed statements by the auditor OF
the islands of expenditures under appropria-
ton of 50. 100000 for the relief of distress in
the Philippine islands.
Governor Taft says the war was one OF
considerable suffering among the people OF
the Philippine islands on account of a short
food supply, but the worst is passed. While
he does not consider the future as bright ss
it might be, he believes we are beginning an
era in the history Of the islands which. with
the assistance of proper tariff reduction in
the United States and proper navigation
laws. the islands will be one of decided ma
terial development. One OF the causes OF
the food famine, he says, was a corner i'm
rice formed in November. 1902. which he
met by having passed act appropriating
s., 600 600 in Mexican money to buy rice in
foreign markets and distribute IL among the
natives. II was necessary TO go TO Slam
and Calcutta to get sufficient supplies.
Speaking of the conditions Ia the islands
Governor Taft says that at no time has
there been less ladronism than when this
was written, Dec. 10, 1903.
One OF the greatest obstacles the Gov
ernor had to contend with he said is the
presence of dissolute, drunken and lawless
Americans who are willing to associate
with low Filipino women and live on the
proceeds of their labor. To rid the country
OF this class OF Americans the commission
passed what is known as the dissolute
American and vagrancy acts
Governor Taft says: Whatever may
happen during the first few months OF the
coming of the American bishops IL is GER
tain that the spirit of the American Cath
Ollie Church is so different from that OF the
Spanish Church. from a political standpoint.
that the influence Of the Spanish friars will
gradually wane and that of the American
bishops become controlling, bringing about
that which we so much desire, the Ameri-
canizing of the Roman Catholic Church
in the Philippines"
