STILL UNDER CONSIDERATION.
Moy Wong's Deportation an Undeter'
mined Question.

The hearing in the deportation case OF
Moy Wong a Chinaman arrested July 70
by Inspector Schumacher on the charge OF
being in the United States without right.
was resumed at IL o'clock this morning by
United States Commissioner Arson S. Tay-
lor.
1t was concluded al 2:30 o'clock this after
noon, Judge Taylor announcing that he
would take the case under adviSement and
lotified the attorneys of his decision some
time next week.
Moy Wong, the defendant. was put on
the witness stand this morning, his second
appearance, and cross-examined by Attor-
ney Atkinson, for the government. The
Chinaman confirmed statements made yes
terday in the hearing, and also statements
made some time ago to Inspector Schmuck-
er. to the effect that he had come to this
city from Portland, Ore, after his mother
had died in the latter city; that this was
about fourteen years ago, and he came with
a strange man by way of New York city.
He said he recognized his father from hav-
ing seen a photograph of him in Portland,
which his uncle had identified
In the cross-examination today the de-
PENDANT also repeatedly answered, II do not
remember was too young when asked
searching questions about his early life.
He gave his age as twenty-three years.
Another witness presented by Attorney
Ambrose for the defense was Moy Pong,
who claims to be the father of the defend
ant. Pong said he about sixty years
of age; that he came to this country when
he was nineteen, and married when he was
thrty-six His wife died about twenty
years ago, he said.
Moy Kuen manager of the Tsu Lung
Company, Chinese merchants, at 31S Penn
Sylvania avenue northwest, testified that
he had known Moy Pong, the father, in
Portland, and remembered that he had a
little son at that time. Later, when he,
Moy Kuen, came to this city, he met Moy
Pong again, according to his testimony,
and was told by the father that the de-
PENDANT was the ons he had seen as baby
In Portland Moy Kuen said he had been
here some ten or twelve years and the
father and son were here when he came.
This witness could speak some English, and
the services of Mr.. Benning, the government
interpreter, were not always necessary.
Witnesses for the prosecution heard yes
terday and today, testified that they had
lived near the laundry at 90 street north
west, where Moy Wong was arrested and
had not seen the boy there until few
years ago.
Considerable interest in the case has been
aroused among Cinnamon in the city, and
1t is understood, they are prepared to take
an appeal to the District Supreme Court
in case Judge Taylor should render a de-
cision unfavorable to the defendant.

PEACE IN FAR EAST.
King Leopold Wants President Roose-

dentials from the King of Belgium to
President Roosevelt, requesting the latter
to use his good offices in the restoration of
peace between Russia and Japan.
No engagement has been made for Mr.
Francotte to see the President. The usual

the Secretary of State first and make

army maneuvers which are to be executed
on the battlefield of Bull Run, believing
they will be of practical value in elevating
the morale and discipline of the troops en-
gagged. An invitation was extended to him
to be present at the maneuvers, and one
of the Texas regiments insisted that he
should be its guest at the encampment but
the President was obliged to decline all
invitations. He will receive from time to

Charges Utterly Groundless.

1T is believed that the charge is utterly
groundess; that its publication was in
tended as a spectacular and sensational
performance. and that it was concoc.ed
especially to aid the President in the pres
ent contest regardless of it's damaging
effect upon others. Being false in one eS-
sential particular, the whole article should
be discredted.
"Of course, if Senator Depew admits the
accusation and confesses his guilt, then l
withdraw my denunciation of the publlca-
ton in question. If Senator Green, or Sen
ators Plat and Depew in his behalf, ever
threatened President Roosevelt because OF
Senator GREEN'S indictment, 1T was the
Presidents personal and official duty to

ton contending that the people of those
islands, when it safely can be done should
be given, not merely sef-government but
independence. He argued for the election

Referring to Senator Depew's candidacy
for reelection, the former senator said:
Decent men of all parties would greatly
prefer him to the CRATER and groceryman

zation in this state, who SpeculateS In the
securities of trusts and takes his chances

Inc annual report of Brig. Gen. Frederick

court-martialed during the past year in that

On the subject of recruiting and the exer

The lack of proper investigation before
enlistment by recruiting officers as to the

and unreliable recruits, is a well-recognized

Military Prisons Needed.

All this argues for the establishment OF
general military prison, where general
prisoners may be properly guarded and
worked. 1t is strongly recommended that
the government secure a central position
for the confinement of general prisoners
The regiments in this department have
been largely composed of recruits, which
recruits have not averaged high stand ard.

HILL SHOOTS HIS GUN
Loaded With Mud for
President Roosevelt.
AT A NEW YORK FAIR
TALKS OF POST OFFICE 1NvEsTI-
CATION WITH VIGOR.
Sage of Wolfert's Roost Takes Him
self Seriously - The Money
Question Settled.

BINGHAMTON. N. Y, August 81
Former Senator David B. Hill was the
guest today of the Broome county fair,
which is being held at Whitney POINT, anu
delivered an address.
Mr.. Hill briefly discussed the tariH ana
said the democratic platform was silent
upon the money question because that ques-
ton was deemed settled. The almost unan-
imous approval by the convention of Judge
Parker's telegram operated virtually as an
amendment of the platform in accordance
with it's terms, and the new platform nee
essarily superseded and eliminated all pre-
vious national platforms. The present cam
pagn on the part of the republicans the
ex-senator declared, ''is one of humbug and
false pretenses-pecuiarly Rooseveltlsh IN
all its essential characteristics. Ihe Presl-
dent, through himself and his late private
secretary manage and direct every detail,
while experienced political managers OF long
service in the party are brushed aside ana
ignored.
when the President" the speaker con-
tinued has particularly desired to i'm
press upon the country the greatness or
goodness of his deeds. but has preferred to
refrain from communicating to the puDnc
directly through his messages or addresses,
he has employed the agency of certain mag
aZine writer's some of whom have not been
particularly familiar with political aHalrs,
but who possess a breezy and entertaining
style of composition and are under obllga-
to them at the White House, whereby he
might letter reach the public ear and infu-
enca public opinion.
MIR. Hill then ciled a mag zine article by
William Allen White on the subject OF
How Roosevelt Uncovered the Postal
Frauds and proceeded at considerable
length to analyze the article in question.
He said that it was an effort to impress
the people that the President was not re-
sponsibIe for the postal frauds in his ad-
ministratinn and that notwithstanding his
long negl ct to prosecute them. he was
really tn exalted instrument which exposed
them. If the article was nos dictated at
the White House. the speaher declared, 1t
was at least inspired there. 1t would fail
of it's puri oSe. however. le5auSe 1t is not
true-becauSe it has been embellishod for
political effect and viii not stand the test
