TURES.


Albuquerque has had several min
strel organizations here this season,
but the performance last night seem
ed to please better than any of the
previous ones. While the opening of
the first part did not make much of a
hit. before the performance had pro-
ceeded many numbers the colored per-
formers had the audience with them
and after that IL was easy money"
for them to win laughs and applause
from the audience. With the excep-
ton of Everybody Works but Father
which the writer had hoped would not
be resurrected by the Georgias. and
one or two others of a like nature. the
songs were new and well rendered.
The two features that won the most
appreciation from the audience, how

bill, when that measure was before
the senate a day or two ago. The sec
retary not only went before the
finance committee and explained in a
secret session what he could not ex-
plain publicly, but he went on the
floor of the senate and talked with
Senators Spooner, Aldrich and Al
lison explaining the danger which
would be incurred by hesitatin5.
Extra troops are being rushed to the
Far East. The First and Second regi-
ments of infantry and the Eighth and
Thirteenth regiments of field artil-
lery and the Twenty-fourth infantry
are now on their way to Manila.
The mobilization of troops in the
Philippines is for the purpose of hav-
ing them ready at the nearest point
when they are needed in China. For
this purpose two brigade camps have
been established near Manila, one at
Angeles, about fifty miles from the
city, and the other at Camp McKin-
ley, close to Manila.
In addition to these troops there are
10000 regulars and 5000 native scouts
in the Philippine islands. Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood is in command.
The present trouble with China is
something more than fear of a native
uprising. That is only part of it.

The Chinese government is held re.
sponsible here for the conditions in
China, which make the uprisings i'm
minent.
II is pointed out by well informed
officials of the state department that
the powerful mandarins are the real
governing force in China, and it is
the course which has been followed
by these potentates that has taxed
our patience to the limit.
They have neglected to suppress
the boycott propaganda, and while the
representatives of the empress have

Admiral Sigsbee, and sent to Chinese
waters. 1t is probable that an addi.
tional battle ship and cruiser will be

only friend China had. We helped re
duce the indemnity and have not
pressed the payment of the $25,OOO,

What the United States now de
mands in China, and is ready to fight
for, is the right of the American citi
zens to trade in any part of China on
an equal footing with Japanese, Ger
mans, British, or any other nationality
and that Americans residing in China
be safe in life and property.

NO DEVELOPMENTS IN MOROCCO

New York, Feb. 5.-All grain ship
ments to Germany from American
ports have been tied up, pending the
settlement of the tarlff question be-
tween the United States and Germany.
The last shipments have gone out and
no more contracts for American grain
'of any kind are untitled and outstand-
ing.
The tariff agreement between the
United States and Germany will ex-
pire on March l of this year and, un-
less congress, in the meantime, takes
some definite steps toward the estab.
lishment of reciprocal trade relations,
the new high tariff on American grains
will go into effect in Germany. The
reichstag has accepted the proposed
higher schedule on wheat, oaus, rye
and barley, bu has not yet acted upon
the proposed higher schedule for corn,
expecting, probably that the United
States government would take some
steps toward preventing a tariff war
between the two countries.
Under the new law the duty on
wheat will be So marks per kilo, in.
stead of 35 as heretofore; rye, so
uldihS luSJtdu OI 90 mating DdIley
&c instead of &c marks; and oats, sc
instead of 2S marks. Should Il tariff
war between the two countries break
out, Germany would impose the maxi.
mum rates, which are still higher than
the rates here given.
II has been a mystery to a great
many people on this side of the ocean,
how the German government was able
TO secure the adoption of the new
schedule, as its Immediate effect would
be considerable increase in the price
of bread in all parts of Germany. The
socialists made the best use of that
argument in opposing the new sched
ule, but they were appeased by the
promise of the German government
that the sum accruing from the high
er duties would be transferred to the
imperial pension fund.
The general sentiment In Germany
is by no means one of enimty toward
the United States cr it's products. The
people simply feel that they owe it TO
themselves to retaliate against a
country which discrimlnates against
German products.

The Third Degree
Methods Used By The Police To Wiring Confess sions From Known or Sus- pected Criminals.

n1,ced in what they say. They lie for effect and sympathy. Not long ago a man was arrested as he was leaving a house he had been burSlarlzlng on the West Side. Before Overpowered he tried to kill one of the arresting policemen by shooting him. and was taken with part of the loot in his nockets At the trial he testified that he had been a curious on-looker and that a brutal policeman, knowing he had served a term in the reform school many years ago, had knocked nm down, kicked him and thrown him into jail. He told the saddest kind of 2 etol, of prosec~' ion, and his wife tcarfuly corroborated him. After the trial he confessed.
 Not All Fiction.
 Another West Side crook told how inc police, in conferrinS the third degree" had burned him with acids, logged his memory with hot irons, starved and kept him from water and prevented him from sleeping for days al q time, permitting him the time no means of communication with his f,icl,,'s. On investigation the story proved to be the fantastic production of the brain of d cooke fiend, or aa- bitual uspl. of cocaine, who had been abused not at all unless enforced ab- stinence from the drug he craved was abuse.
 Among the hundreds of such stories comparativelv few have been found to have any considerable foundation in truth. and most of them are magm- fled. They are told usually ill order that d criminal may enlist popular sympathy and discredit the police. But because so many of these instances have proved to be total or partial ia bricatiOns it does net argue that the ,SWeat-boX," with all it's degrees, and especially with it's dread third de- gree" does not exist in Chicago. The genuine cases seldom come to light. The police, officially. deny that inn proper methods to compel confessions are employed.
 Both the "sweat-boN and it's terri- ,le se0uel, the third degree. are em ployed almost exclusively for the pllr- pose of eNtorting from arrested per sons information concerning the crlnl- ina operations of themselves or Oth- CTS about whom they are supposed to have intimate knowledge. The forms of pressure brought to bear are as and finely graded as the keys of a piano. They range from suave. coaXing questions to terrific beatings, hunger. thirst, enforced loss of sleep for long periods, and even more potent, though possibly less spectacular form of coercion.
 The severity of the treatment is governed largely by how much the police know of the guilt or innocence
