ching the revision aud couihcation of
our laws.
A disaster. PecanSc he n~"+ended
revision would amount to nothing mo-
re than an exchange of the laws now
ia force to those in use in louisiana
the only sort of revision within the
capacity of functionary who express
ses himself in terms of vulgarity 50
notorious and an ipcompe tency SO
evident; to one who francies that the
only place in which to find the spanish
laws now in force is in the innumera-
bic y0jNmes Of tAe Official Gazette.
This decla ration is in its self suf-
ficient to cause the projectected codi-
fication and revision to alarm Us, un.-
dertaken, as 1t is, by a functionary
who has proved his incapacily by ma
king such an assertion as the above.
What sort of revision and codifca-
tion can be looked for by an A ttorney
General who believes that the ga
zette' is the only source of informa-
tion regarding tke Spanish laws now
in operation here3 :~,-t--l
1t would bs far better were Mr..
Feujlle to leave the laws as they are
and that he make no attempt to revise
or codify anything.
Better it woul be for everything to
| Iemain as it is--ro matter how unSa
tisfactory--until we hgve an Attor-
uey General who will not follow in
tbs footsteps of his predecessors; that
is to say, one who will recogri,' the
importance and recessity Of returning
things to the condition in which they
were found by the first governors who
came with the advancing military to
implant imperialism.
Until that time arrives it is impos-
sible not to feel alarm when reforms
are talked of, when any of the functio-
ries show an uncomfortable desire to
bring about innovations.
Yesterday we had the diverse and
chaotic laws of California, Colorado
and Montana. today it would be those
Of Louisiana; always the desire to
abolish scientific and codifed laws
such as ours and 10 substitute for them
those of the v; rious States Of the mo-
ther country which are primitive
confusing and involved.
This is altcgethsr too much.
This perennial changing, this doing
and undoiog, this everlasting wave
of reform, producing confusion, de-
moralization and insta bility cannot
continue. 1t is necessary tb 1t che
be put on incessant reforms
lprovis~d legislators who b.
child'S play and capricious tha
is the labor of wise and prudent
New is the time to put ou- feet
down firmly and to protest against any
more reforms such as we have had.
Let us t.,ke care now that we do
not fall into the abyss. which IS we
jhave shown, is yawning at our feet.
Afterwards it would be too late.

Across the fields of present legisl

is about to blow another devastating
and cyclonic tempest, another destr-
uctive disarrangement is announced.
Up to the present time all
those who have been Heads of
the Department of Justice, impor-
ted functionaries, modest lawyers
without any higher notions of law
than those which they have gained in
their meagre studies and their cheap
practice, without any greater horizons
than the limited ones of the States
from which they come, without under
standing even the language in which
our laws are written and without the
pre- paration that would enable them
to interpret them, believing, firmly,
that there are no laws IN the world like
their own, have come here to cause
infinite perturbations.
1t is fact that the role OF these
|functionaries ignorant of the proper
ipterpre tation of onr Codes aud the
method of applying ou1 laws, has been
the most unfortunate of the many
acts in the redemptionist tragi-co-
dy. But the means EN- 1loyed by the
Sc functionaries in order to cow
ert themselves into oracles. in the
midst of the chaos brought about by
their acts were not such as to win fol
them the admiration which they COW
eted and in no sense deserved.
What did they hope to accomplish
| in their insane effort to carry pert
urbalion in all directions, by their
! affecting, assuming and feigning a
superiority accepted by no one?
1t was the insensate anxiety felt
by the debutante bureaucrats.
1t was the strife. the eternal ri
valry of those american states engaged
in retaliatory attack on the colony
1t was desire to MAKE and unma-
ke, period of disastrous rectlfcations
The functionary of today judged
dangerous and unwise the reform OF
Yesterday. but following always the
absurd criterion of his predecessors
who through ignorance, through TN
warranted pride and laziness refused
to recognize the superiority of the
laws and measures which they annu-
led, and in their idiocy imagined tha
what was substituted was an impro
vement.
The redemptionists sought to show u
as on the film of a .ineomarograi b al
the ancient and rE;D.iti'Se Laws and Ii
their colossal ignorance proclaimed
the "Habeas Corpus" as tine lates
achievement of law.
And now the continuation of thu
spectacle is announced.
The present encnmbeut of the de-
partment Of Justice cannot reconcile
himself to p ,ssing unn; ticed, wlthou
leaving leaving like so many of hi
associates, hitter menV0ry.

CARNEGIE g NOR HER FATHER.
MRS. Chadwick Now Denies She Ever
said He Was.

Cleveland, March 20. TT has been said
repeatedly that ! have asserted that
Andrew Carnegie was my father. 1
deny that, and deny it absolutely"
The foregoing statement was made
in an emphatic manner by Mrs. Cassie
IL. Chadwick to-day to a representative
Of the Associated Press in the first au-
thorized interview since her trial. Con-
tinuing, Mrs. Chadwick said:
ut has been reported that / made the
statement that Judge Tayler was pref
udiced against me- Now, I want that
denied. / do not think that Judge
Tayler was prejudiced, and think that
iii every respect he did what he thought
was fair. But / do think that, from
the beginning of my trouble, Prosecut-
ing Attorney Sullivan and Marshal
Chandler have been unfair, and that
they have been bitterly prejudiced. Mr.
Chandler, however, did everything that
he could to make me comfortable DUR
inc the trial, and feel very grateful to
him for his kindness. OF all the others
who were indicted I was the first one
rushed to trial. Even the man indict-
ed with me, Mr.. Spear, who everybody
said should have been tried first, has
not been tried yet.
II expect to be called to testify in the
bankruptcy court and great many
startling things may develop, which
may throw a different light on my af-
fairs"

RUSSIAN GOVERNOR SHOT
BY A BOY ANARCHIST
CONDITION OF THE OFFICIAL is
CRITICAL. :,
Lad Obtained Entrance to His Office
and Fired Three Times at Him-But
One of the Wounds sericus-Then
Escaped to street where He was Ar
rested without a Struggle.

Viborg, European Russia, March 90
Governor Miasoredoff was shot and
seriously wounded to-day by lad.
The boy, who is about fifteen years
old, obtained an entrance to the gov
ernor's Office and fired three times at
him, one bullet inficting a serious
wound and the others slightly wound
ing the governors legs. The governors
clerks and secretary were unable to
stop the would-be assassin who reached
the street where, however, he was ar
rested without a struggle. The COVER
nor's condition is critical.
The youth who shot the governor has
been identified as Matti Hjalmar Rein
like, who admits that he is revolu-
ZIONIST and anarchist. He halls from
Kurokke parish, in the northeastern
part Of Finland. but recently has lived
in Stockholm to vaoi arrest on account
of his known revolutionary ideas. He
returned four days ago to Finland by
way of Tornea and spent three days in
Viborg, but declines to reveal his stop
ping place. Governor Miasoredoff has
been most energetic in the classification
of Finland. and memorials have been
sent to the estates petitioning for his
removal, on account of his alleged ille-
gal methods and the general conditions
in his province, which were pronounced
to be intolerable.
AT o'clock in the afternoon Reinnik-
Ike gained access to the governors cab
met and fired shot from the thresh-
hold Then, advancing. he fired twice
more, after which, jumping behind and
under the governors writing table with
his pistol he held up the clerks who
were rushing in and managed to reach
the street. Secretary Markoff, who fol-
lowed him, summoned assistance and
the would-be assassin was captured.
Reinikke, who had lost one of his
arms recently in a railway accident,
when asked If his name was Reinikke,
replied: 1.-THE police Of Helsingfors
know me. my motive and the COVER
nor's record.
The crime was committed with an
automatic pistol of the same type with
which Hohenthal assassinated Soisa-

Finland on February s.

RIOTOUS MEETING or
STRIKERS IN NEW YORK
PEPPER DENoUNoEs uss OF
B0MBS AND DYNAMITE.

Leaves the Hall Taking Large Deie-
cation With Him-sIany Socialists at
the Meeting-Pepper Tells His Fol-
lowers That They Have Lost and that
violence VIII Not Help Their Cause.
New York, March 2o.-A meeting, in
oluding many socialists, which was an
nounced to be the second joint meet
ing of the strikers of the Amalgarnated
Association of Street and Electric Rail-
way Employees and Engineers ended
in riotous scenes to-day. George E.
Pepper the strike leader, and head OF
the charterless local branch of the AM
algamated, is credited with having
broken up the meeting. Pepper de-
nounced the methods which he said
were approved by the meeting,
viz: The use of bombs and
dynamite as weapons of mode
ern civilization. Order was restored
by the police, Pepper leaving the meet-
ing hall quietly. taking a large delega-
tion with him.
A circular signed by w. q. Patrick,
second vice president of*the Ansaigam-
ated association, and William Roselle,
who represented the engineers in the
executive board of the joint unions,
called meeting Of strikers to reeonsid-
er strike action. The circular stated
that the old employees who had return
ed to work were disguised with con-
ditions,' and that concerted action
would go far toward winning the strike
for the defeated men.
It was said the object was to organ
ize a branch of the Socialist Trade
and Labor alliance for the striking man.
Speeches, some fiery, were delivered
Things went well until Pepper said the
meeting was unauthorized, and not
necessary; that methods which had all
along been denounced by the strike
leaders were being instilled into the
minds of few carelsss strikers, and
that bombs and dynamite could not
play a part in the fight against the
Interborough company"
Then some one in the hall shouted:
| Throw him OUT The cry was taken
up and the Pepper faction cried. Leave
him alone" There was rush for the
platform, in which tables and chairs
We're overturned. The police were call
ed, and Pepper and his followers leftI
the meeting. Outside the hall Peppen
addressed his followers, saying
We are down and out, as every
reasonable minded man must see, and
our cause will not be benefited by any
talk Of bombs and dynamite, or any
thing that will affect public safety on
the Interborough lines.n
man who said he was a socialist
stated that the Socialist Trade ana La.
Dor alliance did mot, would not and
could not, if it chose, approve of the
use Of bombs or dynamite under any
strike conditions, or under any condi-s
tons. This man said Pepper nisun-
derstood the speakers.
George S. Rice, chief engineer Of the
rapid transit commission, said to-day:
Unless conditions are speedily improv-
ed in the subway the board will taka
the matter up There mas been a. desire
on the part Of the board to give the
lnterborough company reasonable time
TO recover from the effects Of the strike.
but we feel that things should now be
in better shape
