RATHER CURIOUS STORY
PECULIAR TRAVELS OF PHOTO
GRAPH OF CIVIL WAR OFFICERS.

A rather curious story came to light to-
day, when Mr. Alexander Scott of 1901
Kenton street received from Gen. William
W. Henry, United States consul at Quebec,
a letter containing two pictures that were
made years ago to illustrate the history of
the 10th Regiment of Vermont Volunteers
of the Army of the Potomac. Several years
ago Mr., Scott. who was member OF the
10th Vermont. conceived the idea of illus
trating the history of the regiment with
some pictures. one of which was made dur
ing the civil war. This particular picture
was copy of a photograph that was taken
at Culpeper, Va, In September. 1863, and
showed a group of men standing beside a
tent. In the group were Capt. S. Darrah.
Lieut.. G. e. Davis, Lieut.. L. A. Abbott, DIR.
A. Clarke. Mr.. John Lamone and Mr..
Henry Falkins. Lieuts. Davis and Abbott
are still living. The former resides In Bur-
lington. VT. and the latter IL. this city. he
being retired colonel OF the regular army
drawing was made from this photograph
by Mr. Clifford X. Bergman, and the
plates for the book were made by a local
lfthographing establishment. 1t appears
that not long ago the employees of this es-
Enlistment Were cleaning up the place, and
threw into waste box a quantity of old
proofs. etc, that We're found about the
building. The day must have been windy
as some of the proofs blew away from the
Mr. Frank Hume The paper on which the
proofs We're made yellow with age and
dust. Mr.. Hume found the proof and be-
came interested in Ii. He thought the pic
ture had come from an old wartime publ
cation. and determined to make efforts to
ma some member of the 10th Vermont and
give him the picture
mere were two pictures on the nroof
accordingly Mr.. Hume placed the sheet in
an envelope. which he addressed to the
postmaster at Montpelier and fnclosed n
letter III which he asked the postmaster TO
nhu some member of the regiment and give
nam the pictures signing himself Frank
Hume, Company A, 21st MIssissippi Repl-
fnent, Barksdales Brigade. Army of North
ern Virginia" Postmaster Bancroft OF
Montpelier learned that Gen Henry had
oeen colonel of the regiment and that he
was United States consul at Quebec and
sent the pictures TO him. Gen. Henry recop-
hlzed the pictures, but could not under
Stand why they had been sent to him. and
promptly sent them to Mr. Scott. who re-
ceived them this morning. Mr. Scott was
much amused at the incident by reason of
the fact that the pictures had originated
with him, were made In a Washington es-
taDishment; were found by an ex-confed-
crate soldier and sent all the way to Cam
ada, only TO come back to Washington and
10 the man who had originally had them
made. The oddly of the incident is en-
hanced by the fact that the only person in
either OF the pictures who attained much
military rank was Col. Abbott. who is lty-
ing here and has been here for many years

Great Work to Be Done.

I'VE have great work befor, US in the
Philippines. 1t is a tremendous task to de-
velop the islands and build a nation
there, and 1t will take white men to do 1t.
There has been a wonderful change since
the American invasion, a change for the
better, and now that the development of the
islands is well under way, the instructions
quoted, educational work being pushed and
limited franchises being granted, there will
be an era of great progress but the islands
deserve Americans careful study"
Senator Scott denied the story of the
plunge in the swimming tank on board ship
The story was to the effect that Miss Roose-
welt had dared one of the senators to jump
into the canvas swimming tank that the
steamer authorities had set up on deck the
jumping to be done in regular clothing, and
had leaped in herself when the dare was
not taken. 1t was also said that Represen-
tative Longworth had then leaped in and
brought her out, but Senator Scott explains
that all the swimming in the tank was done
in bathing apparel, and that there was no
foundation for the story.

Flooded With Placards.

Canton had been covered two days pre-
viously with flood of placards, roasting
the eXT ected Americans. The placards
stated that any cooie who would push an
American about In his jinrikisha was no
more than a turtle. Now a turtle is, in the
Chinese mind, the lowest thing imaginable,
and that was the most despicable epithet
they could have applied to the man who
would so far forget himself as to trot one
of us about That is the significance Of
the insult to Miss Alice Roosevelt in the
cartoon picturing her riding in a chair each
of the four legs of the chair resting
upon the back of turtle The publishers
of that cartoon were arrested, and those
who posted the placards were arrested, and
the placards torn down. but 1t all very
plainly proves that the Chinese boycott is
no myth, and is worth our closest atten-
ton"
Are the Filipinos ready for self govern
ment?' asked.
No, answered the senator. They are
children. They do not know what self
government means, much less realize the
responsibilities of it. They are not bad
people at heart, but they have been dwarfed
mentally and morally by the centuries Of
Spanish miSrule.

OPPOSED TO CHANGE
SENATOR SCOTS VIEWS ON
TARIFF AND RAILWAY RATES.
Regards the Filipinos as Unfit for Self
Government-His Observa-
lions Abroad.

In an interview printed Sunday In a
Wheeling. paper Senator N. B. Scott OF
West Virginia expressed strong views
against tariff revision: opposed radical leg
islation on railway rates and incidentally
discussed self-government in the Philip
pines. The senator was a member of the
Taft party which recently returned from
the orient, and took advantage Of the OPP
portunity while abroad to post up on eco
nomic conditions
Asked If he had made tariff revision a
study while away. he said:
mo. l have not and 1 don't think much
of it now. / do not consider that there Is
any demand in my state for tariff revision.
At least, l do not hear any clamoring for
it, and 1 try to represent my people,
do you favor stringent railroad rate leg
islation? the reporter queried.
Il have never favored radical changes in
anything, said Senator Scott, never ia
vored untried remedies of unknown COM
position when the patient had chance to
get well by proper care and treatment. l
believe that most if not all of the evils
could be corrected by change in the rail-
road tariff rates. which in many instances
are unjust. Discrepancies could be RENE
died by law, but | cannot say that | am
in favor of a railroad commission that
would have the power to fix rates.
Reception in Japan and China.
"Our party had two kinds of receptions
in Japan said the senator. I'VE were
treated royalty when we went over, but
when we stopped on the return trip the at
titude of the majority of people toward
Americans had changed, and they were not
the least backward about exhibiting their
feelings
The reason of the change was the man.
ner of the ending of the peace negotiations
at Portsmouth When we stopped at Japan
on the outward journey the ENJOYS were
holding sessions at Portsmouth, and the
Japanese looked upon Americans as their
best friends, in taking the steps that were
to bring about peace. But the peace terms
were far from satisfactory to the middle
and lower classes of japanese, and when we
stopped on our return trip the terms of the
treaty had become generally known, and
we, representative Americans. were
looked upon by these japanese RESPONSE
bic for a peace that was considered humil-
iattng and dfsgraceful to them.
In China, too, the enmity to Americans
was decidedly noticeable Mr. julius Khan
of the House of Representatives may pooh
pooh the talk of the Chinese boycott, but
have been there and know it is not ex-
aggerated in the least. Our party landed
at Canton. and while we were officially
! treated with every courtesy. the honors
were done under the shadow of bayonets.
upon a pier especially built for us, and were
escorted to a big building and banqueted,
but there a line of soldiers all about,
and thousands, yes, hundreds of thousands
of Chinese were boisterously in evidence on
the outer side of the bayoneted bulwarks.
We could not, of course, understand their
shouting, but 1t is a certainty that their re-
marks were not complimentary
