STILL AFTER BRANDEGEE.
Connecticut's Senator's Attitude on
Philippines Bill Criticised

Rev. Gerald III. Beard, pastor OF the Park
Street Congregational Church OF Bridge
port Conn, yesterday renewed his attack
on United States Senators Buckley and
Brandegee of Connecticut for Their attitude
on the Philippines tariff measure that is
now buried in a committee room in the
Senate. He assailed them first before
meeting of Congregational clergymen at
Hartford last Wednesday. He said yester-
day:
''The decent men of Connecticut of all
parties ought to see to II that United States
senators of very different moral calber
from those now in Washington are sent to
the Senate in the near future. Men who
knew Mr.. Brandegee at Yale and elsewhere
expected honorable II not great things or
him. He has a right. of course. TO his
But in the judgment of one man at least,
and, believe, in the Judgment of a great
many, a legislator whose moral vision is so
blurred as to see in what most OF US regard
as the moral obligations of America toward
the people of the Philippine Islands only
sentimental considerations OF no account
compared with the supposed business in
terests' of tobacco growers is not nj TO rep
resent Connecticut in the Senate.
1T may be added that men of Connecti-
cut nearly all of them love fair play. To
strange in committee a measure in which
many are interested a matter of honor.
without allowing IL even TO be reported for
fair debate, may be shrewd politics but Is
not the sort of business some of US care TO
see Connecticut senator share In.

THE LATE SENATOR aoRMAN.
Some Interesting Incidents Of His
Political Career.

An interesting story is told of the late
senator German regarding his early strug-
giles in Maryland politics. AT one time,
after suffering a reverse he secured an ap-
pointment as post trader, and started
west to take up the work. While on the
train he thought the situation all over
and changed his mind.
IN go back and make my fight and
win, he said to himself, and so he re-
turned and devoted himself to contest of
defeating the men who had put him down.
1t was not long battle and he gained
the supremacy even before he was pre-
pared for 1t. In making himself master
Of the Maryland democracy it is said
that he was elected to the Senate six
years before he really desired to enter that
body. His following was of that kind that
would support him, but he could not get
them to support another man.
1t was always the opinion of democrats
that German held the key to the situation
lin 1892 and might have defeated Cleve-
land. But he could only see defeat for
himself, and felt sure that if Cleveland
was defeated his friends would name the
candidate. OF course, they would not
choose the man who had been responsible
for defeating their candidate. German did
not want to incur for all time the hostility
of the Cleveland men. Probably Cleve-
lands friends would have been no more
antagonistic to him II he had prevented
the nomination of their idol than they
were Two years ldt0T Wu0u OTOfmdn 1t
tackled the President SO vigorously on the
floor of the Senate and forced so many
changes In the Wilson bill.
Germans strength with his party in the
Senate was greater than with the people
outside. though time came when he was
abandoned by his party In the Senate
After the first Bryan campaign he was re-
fused a place on the finance committee
which he wanted, and another was made
chairman of the democratic caucus and
leader of the minority, the place he had
SO long held.
That German was more successful than
most men in holding the minority together
there can be no doubt. He was the kind
Of man to adjust differences between men
of widely different views, but he always
had difficult task on his hands. He had
the party absolutely united against the
force bill, and he was able to hold them. at
other times. Yet when the party was first
in power It split during the first session on
silver and the next session 1t was with
great difficulty that 1t could be held on
the tariff Even then the Wilson bill was
passed with the aid of populist votes.
Mr. Germans great desire, after his re-
turn to the Senate second time, was to
unite his party in solid phalanx and make
it an opposition party which would be eff
fectiye in the Senate But he found many
diverse views He could not hold the sena-
tors together against the Panama canal
treaty and that was about the only meas
ure on which a party contest could be
made. The organization against the Santo
Domingto treaty met with his approval, but
his falling health made it necessary for him
to leave the active work to others.

. Abrasive Materials.

The United States Geological Survey is
about to publish its annual report on the
production of abrasive materials during
1905. The report takes note only of that
small part of the production of these ma
terials which Is actually used for abrasive
purposes.
The aggregate value of the production Of
the natural abrasive materials during 1905
was s1,427, 7SO. which is an increase of
$20.679, as compared with $1.407, 101, the
value OF the 1904 production. This includes
oilstones and scythestones at $244,348,
grindstones and pulpstones at 777.606.
buhrstones and millstones at $37, 874, pumice
at $3.50, infusoria1 earth and tripoli at
SEA 637 crystalline quartz, including field
spar at $SS 11S, garnet at $148,O95 and CO.
rupdum and emery at $61, 1884,
There Is considerable variation from year
to year In the value Of the different abra-
sivc materials, and this represents In nearly
all cases corresponding variation In the
quantity produced. AS rule, however, tho
actual quantity of abrasive materials pro-
duced and put on the market In one year
Is Increasing.
The value of the artificial abrasive ma
terials-such as carborundum. crushed steel
and Observation-Disclosures during 1905 Is
estimated at SOL. 400. as compared with the
estimated value of IS. 026 of the 1904 pro-
duction. q decrease of $780, 20. This how
ever is a large increase as compared with
s4o3. S15 in 1903 and with $3.50 245 in 1902
The report was prepared by Mr.. Joseph
Hyde Pratt.

FROM CHIEF LAMB.
Gable Saying No Revolutionists Are in
Guatemala.

Maj. Sylvester received cable from A.
r. Lamb chief of police of Guatemala City,
Guatemala, this morning telling him some
thing of the condition of affairs In that
country. The message reads: please pub
lish facts; no revolutionists Guatemala
soil. Filibusters allowed to organize on
frontiers of Mexico and Salvador, and as
sisted with men and arms by Salvador,
Nicaragua and Honduras utterly defeated
by Guatemalan troops who fought patriot
ically IN defense of their country and their
great and progressive president, Manuel
Estrada Cabrera
Chief Lamb was connected with the local
police force, and was detailed as hack In
spector for several years. His friends in
this city have been somewhat disturbed
about his welfare since the beginning of
the trouble in Guatemala, some of them
fearing he might fall victim of the rev.
olutionists. The message received from him
today proved a source of qualification to
them.

Production of Precious Stones in 1905.

While the United States may never lead
the world In the production of gems. the
value of its output OF precious stones IN
1905 reached the very respectable figure OF
$500, $50.
The largest output is from the sapphire
mines, the yield of which amounted 10
s125 GOO. Next in value are the torquoise'
quoted at 5000. Then come the tourma-
lines worth $4,000. Peridots, crystal
ouartzes, and miscellaneous stones are &C
credited with a value of $4,000 each me

Precious Stones Imported in 1905.


II the importation of precious stones into
the country is any indication of general
prosperity, then the year 1905 must have
brought material blessing to many in the
United States. According to the forthcont-
ing report of Mr.. George f. Kunz. special
agent OF the United States geological sur
vey, the value of the precious stones i'm
ported into the United States in 1905 was
$34, 99S ,513, as compared with the imports
Of 1904, valued at s26, 813. The stones
imported in 1905 included glaciers diamonds
worth $3.50, diamond dust valued at $780,
072, rough or uncut diamonds worth
SIC, PSI, Ill, set diamonds worth S741,
unset ones valued at s20,375,304 and other
stones. not set, worth $4.144,434. Especially
noticeable is the fact of the greater i'm
portation of the rough material and the
greater increase of the diamond-cutting in
dustry in this country. The importation of
precious stones for the month of December,
1905. was valued at So. s33 ,379, which Is as
much as the importation of any entire year
up to 1879.
This importation was attended by prosper
ity in every branch of the jewelry business,
the sales ranging from the richest gems
to those Of the poorest qualities. and even
to every known form of imitation.
