and continuing, said: Had that reso-

no war in the Philippines, $600.O0O,0OO
we have spent to force a foreign gov
eminent upon the people of those is
lands would have been saved and the
disastrous results of this war of con-
quest would not have been"

seimer, tthe labor leader, who is on
trial in the Court of General Sessions

tract for the plumbing in the Chats
worth apartment house, testified that

under a threat that he would not per-
NIT work to be done on the building
unless that amount was paid, and that
Weinseimer finally accepted $1,000 in
cash and notes for 81 700
He told nAe,' said Essig, that
nothing in the building line could be
done without his permission.
"He also told me he was not a labor
leader for his health, and that l and
every other builder would have to pay
him before we could do any work.
Il had to meet him twice after that
to arrange things"
Essig said that he paid Weinseimer
$1,000 on Dec. 81, and that his men

National Park Commission.

GEN. BOynton submits Report of
National Park Commission.
Washington, Oct. 12.-The War De-
partment has just received the report
of the Chickamauga and Chattanooga
National Park Commission submitted
for the commission by Gen. H. v.
Boynton, chairman.
The commissioners state that during
the year monuments were erected and
dedicated by the states of Maryland,
Ohio and Pennsylvania. The state of
Ohio has also placed seventy bronze
tablets on Missionary Ridge to mark
the ground of action of it's regimental
organizations, and three large bronze
tablets to preserve general Ohio his
tory in the battle, and that of thirteen
| batteries. The commissioners add that
work is progressing very rapidly on
the great New York monument on
Lookout mountain. The commission
recommends for the next fiscal year
increased provision for maintenance of
roads; also for rebuilding the Peavine
creek bridge, and that the Alexander
bridge, which is of wood, be replaced
with one of metal.
Gen. Boynton refers to the stay in
the park for the last two years of the
Seventh Cavalry and says that the
excellent health of that command has
continued to demonstrate that the park
is a region exceptionally free from
disease, and that for troops that are
fully instructed in the sanitary care
of their camps, no more healthful To-
cation could be found.
Referring to some slight disorders
which have occurred Gen. Boynton
says: 1.-THE discords which have occur
red are largely attributable to the vile
conditions which obtain about all army
posts since the abolition of the cam
teen, which action has substituted for
the restraining influence of the post
exchange as formerly administered, the
surreptitious sale of the vilest liquors
in fha vi1aCf resorts -
