Electriclt, rhnws water Pipes.

ELMIRA, n. Y, Feb. 10 Electricians
in the employ of the local water com
pany have succeeded in thawing out
frozen water mains. A positive wire
was inserted at one end of II hundred
foot section and negative wire at the
other end The current was then turn
ed on, and the ice melted rapidly. This
is one Of the first times this has ever
been done. The mains were six inches
in diameter and located in the outlying
portions of the city. Though the frost
has reached down to the level Of the
mains in the downtown section they
will not freeze, it is said, because Of
the larger amount of water which is
being constantly forced through them.

ISLANDS
DEFENCE
Bill Passed to Provide Fortified.
lions in the Philippine
Islands.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.-The house
has passed the Notifications appropria-
ton bill. The Philippine question was
the subject of n brief but spirited dis
cussion while the bill was under con-
sideration.
An item in the bill provided for
fortitcatiops in the insuar posses
siors. Mr.. Smith (Dem., KY propOs-
ed an amendment to preclude the use
of any part of the appropriations for
Notifications in the Philippines, hold
ing that an expenditure of the sum
necessary properly to fortify the is
lands was not warranted until the fu-
tule of the archipelago shall have been
determined. A party alignment ON the
proposition Immediately followed.
Mr. Williams (Miss) took the fight
in favor of the amendment, declaring
that it would be senseless to proceed
to the fertilization of the islands un-
less it should be determined that the
islands were to be held by the United
States. The dominant power. the
reigning power in the White House
and congress had not declared this, he
said.
Mr.. Smith Qa) in a brief but vigor
Gus speech declared that the people Of
the Philippines were more in danger
and less able to defend themselves
than any other people under the Amer
lean flag and that it was the duty Of
this government to give them the
same protection that was given to the
people at home.
The people of the Philippines are
not obeying the laws of this country"
declared Mr.. Williams, because the
laws of the United States have not
been extended to them"
"They are obeying the laws of this
country that apply to the islands," re-
tOrted Mr.. Smith.
Mr.. Williams applied to the situation
a declaration that King George had
one law for those under the flag at
home and another for those under the
flag in the colonies.
Does the gentleman not believe that
the United States will always main
tain a naval station in the Philip
pines?" inquired Mr.. Littauer of the
minority leader.
Mr.. Williams said he hoped the Unit
ed States always would maintain a
naval station in the Philippines, but
he wanted the fact established that 1t
was to be only a naval station.
Does the gentleman base his oppo-
sition on the cost" Mr.. Hemenway
asked.
Mr.. Williams replied that his oppOsi-
ton was based on the fact that he did
not want his children taught the les
son Of coloniallsm and absolutism or
that one people have a right TO govern
another.
Mr.. Payne said it was not a question
whether the Philippines were to be
held. but that it was the duty of this
government while the Filipinos are UNI
der its care to protect them. He de-
clared that the United States never
would leave the Philippines until 1t
shall have established naval station
there.
BY n strict party vote Of so to 50 the
amendment advocated by The minority
was lost.
Amendments proposed by Mr.. Robin
son Qnd.) to prevent allotments for
money for further experiments with
the Langley airship failed
The fertilization bill without amend
ment then was passed without debate
or division.

A Grave Situation.

Charlotte Observer
The Columbia State has the follow
ING to say anent the recent lynching
in South Carolina:
st is morally certain that had
John MOrrison's life been spared by
the mob and he had been brought to
trial he would have been defended by /
as many lawyers as he could have /
paid, and Il circumstantial story OF !
self-defense, with probably something
about threatening messages, would /.
have been cOncocted. And lawyers. /
knowing the mans horrible record
and that the defense he built was but
a tissue of lies, would have made
their arguments for his acquittal
and declared their conviction III his
justification as earnestly, us solemn
lv as il the cause was holy. And
there are some who would have gone
out and hired agents to fix jurors
Gentlemen of the bar of South Caro-
lima, is not that the condition in this
State? Do you not know that the
picture is true to life? Can justice be
done when such procedure is coun-
! tenanced in an honorable profession?
Are you doing anything for the bet
/ terment of that state OF affairs!
! The writer of the above doubtless
| had the Tillman case uppermost IN
his mind when he penned the above,
but there have been other less notable
instances of gross miscarriages OF
| Justice in the Palmetto State recently,
which, taken altogether, make the
protest timely. 1t would be hard to
determine to what extent the mob
spirit is encouraged by the gross
miscarriage OF Justice, but it doubt,
less has more or less influence toward
iustifying lynching, and anything
that does this is dangerous.
Referring to the latest instance OF
mob action in South Carolina, the
New York Evening Post says edl-
torially: :,
"Citizens of kershaw, S. c., resented
the killing OF W. T, Floyd sufficiently
to overpower the one policeman on
guard at the Jail. to drag out the
murderer, to hang him to IL tree, and
to fire two shots into his PACK.
There was no color line in this affair,
no assault upon woman. The
criminal was known and III custody;
there seems to have been witnesses
enough to make conviction GER
!, tainty. Yet the lust for lynching was
: so great that the law was dlsre-
rarded, and half il hundred more
men have Joined the ranks OF unpun-
ished murderers.

i Post is more reasonable in the above
- than it usually is about lynchings IL

which is not at all new even among

The letter of Henry G. Davis,
Democratic candidate for Vice Presi-
dent, is short, exceeding full of argu-
ment-more SO. considering length,
than any one of the three which
have preceded it, He calls especial
attention to the alarming increase
in the expenditures of the govern
ment, the revenues during the last
fiscal year, despite heavy taxation,
falling over $4O,OOO,OOO short of
meeting the demands made by reck-
less appropriations. The cost of the
government during the fiscal year
was $7.14 per capita, while under
Cleveland it was 500 and under
Buchanan only SOL. Mr.. Davis
calls attention to the great increase
in the cost OF the army. The build
ing OF the canal is endorsed, but the
course pursued in securing the right
of way deprecated. The Vice Presi-
Dental candidate thinks the policy

be a policy-is always dangerous to
