WON'T VISIT STOCK YARDS.
Illness Causes Members or an Editoria
Party to Decline n breakfast.

Party to Decline a Hreakfasl.
WARSAW, Ind, June 19.-With nearly
one hundred of the party i'll, the National
Editorial Association tonight politely de-
cliped an invitation to breakfast tomorrow
as guests Of the Chicago meat packers
Following the luncheon served in Marion,
Ind, nea rly a third of the party suffered
more or less from what was declared to be
poisoning.
Mrs. W. W. Aiken Of Franklin, Ind. was
the first victim. Within an hour after the
meal she had to be assisted from a street
car to a Marion drug store for treatment
Nothing was thong hit of her illness until
later, when en- route to Winona several de-
velop ed alarming symptoms. DIR. j. w.
Lucas OF Moorhead, Miss, who is travelling
with the party, was called on to treat fifty
patients, He worked all night before all
were relieved Of pain. At Winona three
were removed to hotels, where they re-
manned all day, but all were able to resume
the journey tonight.
The Chicago Press Club sent word that
the editorial train would be switched to
the stock yards, where the packers were
anxious that the editors should sample
their products and inspect their plants
for refutal of recently published accounts.
The association promptly telegr1phed that
it would be- impossible because of limited
time" and will breakfast at the Chicago
Press Club.
Sandwiches are blamed for the illness
of the members of the party, but it has not
been determined that resulting illness
was not due to chemicals used in making
lemonade,

SILVER QUESTION WON'T DOWN
while Williams and Champ Clark Are In the
House and Can Talk.

WASHINGTON, June ia little furry
in the House Of Representatives to-day
demonstrated that the silver question is
not 80 dead that proposed legislation re-
lating to the metal can be rushed through
with impunity.
Chairman Southland OF the Committee
on Coma ge, Weights and Measures moved
to suspend the rules and pass a bill
authorizing the Secretary Of the Treasury
to recon abraded silver dollars which
accumulate in the Treasury into sub
sidiary silver coin to an amount not ex-
ceeding IS 900 900 a year. Immediately
the Democratic hosts rallied in opposi-
ton to the measure under Leader Williams.
He asse rted that the measure would have
the effect Of really reducing the circula-
ton IS 900 900 a year. and he advocated
the purchase of bullion to meet the need
of additional minor COMA ge.
Mr.. Southard-The gentleman doubtless
is in accord with the smelling trust Of the
country.
Mr.. Williams oh, when | 90 to buy a suit
of clothes (which is not very often. the
Speaker and myself agreeing that clothes
are not necessariesl. incidentally. | have no
doubt, some benefit accrues to the tailor
from the transaction. but to secure his benefit
Is not my primary object.
Champ Clark followed in like tenor, arku-
ing that the people of the South n West
wanted silver dollars. Mr.. McCleary of Min
nesota antagonized thisi idea and asked Mr..
Clark:
Suppose the gentleman purchased an
article for 81, rendering In payment a $40
bill and the merchant handed him nineteen
silver dollar s, what would he dor
Mr.. Clark Gmpressively shaking his
head and leaning over his desk): sd
take EN- so quick it would make his head
SWIM Laughter.
The House refused-115 to 90 to suspend
the rules by a two-third vote and pass the
bills, Western Republicans uniting with
Democrats in the negative.

Favor Of a Sea Level Canal.
WASHINGTON. June Ex-senator John
Tyler Morgan Of Alabama will be 81 years
young tomorrow. He announced tonight
that he would celebrate by delivering a six
hour speech on the subject Of the Panama
Canal. He will advocate the building OF q
sea level waterway.
Senator Morgan has been talking about
an Isthmian Canal for many, many years,
and the remarks he has made on the ques-
ton in the Senate In printed form would MI
a big library. Senator Morgan was defeated
in his efforts to induce Congress to adopt
the Nicaraguan route, but he thought when
he took up the fight for a seq level waterway
that at last he was to be on the winning
side.
Developments of the last few days would
seem to indicate hat the Senate is now
veering around in favor Of the lock canal
policy of the President. But Senator Nor
! gan is a fighting man despite his fourscore
and two, and he will fight until it Is all over.
Senator Morgan seems to be in better health
now thar he has been for two or three years.
He Ia constant in his attendance upon the
sessions of the Senate, and Is all attention
when his pet hobby, the lsthmian Canal, is
mentiOnR0.

senator Bailey Attacks Provision for Rais-
ing the Pay Of Chapiains.
WASHINGTON, June 19.-The increase OF
pay Of navy ~chaplains provided in the
Naval Appropriation bill was sharply criti-
cised by Senator Bailey to-day when the
conference reported on the bill. The men
who saved the souls Of soldiers, he admitted
should be well paid for it, but this increase
he declared an inexcusable extravaganza
Of the peoples money.
The ohaplains did less work than 9S per
cent. Of the ministers throughout the
country and were paid double and prob
Ebly more than double the latter class
Of equal piety, education and ability
The average pay Of ministers was from
$1,000 to 1900 a year, with no provision
for retirement, and he thought Congress
ought not to use the funds of the people by
paid IN what might be termed the open
market.

In a statement accompanying the tables
Mayor Mcclellan explained That the reduo-
ton In the value OF personal property this
year was due to these causes:
Owing 70 a decision Of the courts that I'M

contention OF the Tax Commissioners thnt
such exemption results In a double exemption

about SOS 900. 600.
Owing to the mortgage tax law there has
been q further loss this year of about s25. =
900. 600 In the assessed valuat Ions Of personal
property Of estates and individ uals.
In furtherance Of my policy to place the
finances OF the city Of New York upon an
absolutely sound basis / nave directed the
Commissioner of Taxes and Assessments TO
eliminate from the tax rolls for the year 1908
the names OF certain resident and nonresident
ind ivid uals appearing upon the tax rolls for
several Years past and against whom persona |
tax va luetions had been assessed amounting
in the aggre gate to s72. 9O3. 9l6. Off1cial
notices OF the assessments mailed to these
persons In 1908, 1904, 1905 and 1905 were re-
turned uncovered by TIE fost OHlce dutlorl-
ties.
An examination OF the records OF the Re-
ceiver of Ia xes shows that these individ uals
have made no payments OF the personal
taxes imposed against them In said Years
and that the collection OF the axes so i'm
posed Ia not enforceable. To continue to
carry these names upon the tax rolls of the
city would be adding annually more thai
81. OOO, 900 to the large amount of uncollect-
ible personal taxes now carried on the books
Of the city.
These items of losses in assessed valuations
of personal property. and allowing for gains
therein this year in other directions. result
in the net loss of the aforesaid sl22 sos. 938.

KNOX DEPENDS LOCK CANAL.
His Colleagues In the Senate Followed His
Arguments Closely.

WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Knox
of Pennsylvania to-day made a speech
strongly defending the proposed lock
plan Of canal. His colleagues paid him
the unusual tribute of crowding around
and remaining through the entire sreech .
giving the closest attention al all times.
MIR. Knox showed that the proposed
Gatun dam was a safe engineering project,
comparing not unfavorably with the res
ervoir for the Metropolitan Water Com
pany that supplies Boston with water.
He declared that dams built upon alluvial
foundations were not unusual and cited
the Mississippi levee construction and the
bikes OF Holland.
The Pennsylvania Senator disposed of
the fears OF earthquake effects on the Gatun
dam by showing the effects Of the recent
San Francisco earthquake on reservoir con-
struction in the vicinity Of San Francisco.
He replied to the sta tement of Engineer Hill
Of the Croton dam, and said that that dam
could be compared only with the proposed
dam ct Gamboa, for In construction Il YVES

AMERICANS WIN A
BLOODY ENGAGEMENT
Take Moro Stronghold and Stay Six
Hundred of the Natives.
Eighteen Americans Kiled...Believed This Will End
the Strife With Moros

Washington, d. c., Mar. 9.-Ons
CT the seyerest engagements ever
fought in the PHILIPPINES is related
ia an official dispatch from division
Headquarters at Manila.
The fight lasted nearly two days
and occurred in the Crater of Mount
pajo, Island of Jolo, and resulted
IN the killing of six hundred natives.
and eighteen American soldiers, and
sailors, and the wounding of many
Americans, bringing the number of
casualties to fifty-four.
For some time Moros from the
stronghold in the mountains have
been making raids into villages in
the valley and attacking peaceful ma
tives and outposts OF the American
forces.
Troops at Jolo were insufficient to
dislodge them, so forces were
brought from neighboring islands.
The stronghold was captured, and
all the Moros defending it were
slain.
1t is believed the engagement vii,
bring to a conclusive end the strife
between the American forces and Mo
70 tribes which has been in progress
nearly five years.
