Senator and Ex-Governor, as his counsei Delore 'ie
Court of Appeals yesterday. Mr. Hiii appeared IL
/ an effort TO prevent the candidates Of the Inde
pendence League being debarred from the forth
/ coming election.
Although Mr. Hearst considered Mr.. Hill able
! and sagacious enough to represent him yesterday
| in June and early July. 1904, he considered him
! an opponent At that time Mr. Hearst was trying
! to get the Democratic nomination for PRESIDENT
while Mr.. Hill the political sponsor for Alton
! B. Parker. In consequence The New York Amer
| can' made slurrirg attacks Mr.. Hill in its
stories. although it was crafty enough to re-
frain from editorial comment
The attacks began June S. 1904 when The
American" printed cartoon. This depicted bull
fight, and had the caption will There Be Another
Fake Bullhght at ST LOUISE The picture showed
a BULL marked THE Trusts" being surrounded
by toreadors and matadors. Among them were
Mr.. Hill. Cord Meyer and Senator Patrick H Nc
Carren. Hill, with his sword wrapped in a
bandage, is made to say:
you naughty bull, I'll slap you real hard
On June q. 1904. The American" printed de-
scriptfon several columns long of mass meeting
at Cooper Union. at which William ]. Bryan made
attack the supporters Of eX-JudSe Parker.
Mr. Bryan also spoke specifically of Mr.. Hill, and
Mr. Hearst's paper gave the story this heading:
BRYAN DECLARES HILL OPPOSED HIM
SECRETLY
After publishing great deal about the meeting
tne Saper Sdlo:
The committee retired and reported back its find
speech. The report nvagned against the poIltcS
employed by Mr.. Hill and the alleged contract he
bad with Wal street IN the the aatGT9Gy aopted at
the state convention was meaningless
The American did not publish anything further
for several days. but Friday jay l, when the
national convention at st. Louis about due. the
slurs began again On that day was printed:
Hills programme gives naugrE to Tammany No
affiliated with Murphy is to have any a. part IN
organizing the St Louis conVenucn IL eA-SeH@'of
Hill has his way.
After that until after the convention. the attacks
were numerous. On July 4 a sub-caption read.

Senator Hill spent great part OF today With With
H McCarren and other Parker leaders, n9I oniy
whiting. out platform, planks. but rounding up
every delegate he could get for his personal can

On the same date was the head:

OLDEST HUMAN BONES.
Gilder's Discovery Most 4ncient in
United States, Says Prof. Osborn.

Professor Henry F. Osborn. of Columbia Uni
versity, on his return from inspection of Robert
elders skeleton discoveries Omaha, told a
Tribune reporter last night that the best OF his
knowledge the four partial skulls. etc, unearthed
by Mr. Glider belonged to men of an age antedat-
ing that of any heretofore discovered in this
try. although later than the Dusseldorf Neander-
thai. Mr.. Osborn. who is Da Costa professor of
zoology Columbia, said:
The parts of four skeletons found by Mr.. Glider
IN the lower-level mound all show men virtually
the same in type. believe they show a type of
man that existed distinctly prior to the Indian
skeleton types which the oldest hitherto dis
covered in this country
Unfortunately. while the parieta and frontal
bones are there, the occiputs of all four as we'll
i should say, however that the parts of the
skeletons are older than any hitherto found In this
country, although certainly of a higher and later
type than that of the Neanderthal unearthed at
Dusseldorf 49,
The finding of the occipitaI bones especially. and
or the way they sloped, would, of course tend 10
esta bish more definitely the age of these new dis
covertes. and from telegram I received on nv re
turn. am hopeful that they will be found too
Again, no animal remains have been discovered
near these skeletons. This would have assisted
materially TO fix the age. a rough triangular niece
or rlnt about the size of the small finger was
round with the skeletons however
Professor Osborn is anxious that the discovery of
an 'early man. shall be made in America a dis
covery heretofore denied. although presumptivey
primitive implements have been unearthed in Tren
ton. n. j.. and elsewhere

A report received at this office from the re-
ceiver of the 14Itna Banking and Trust Com

ing those represented by certificates exceed
$3.50 900; other liabilities indicate that the total
Will be nearly 100000
The receiver found only $4,000 cash in the
bank. An asset appearing the books as
liability of the New York Office for $4,000 is
been found at No SO Wall street. New York.
where the bank formerly conducted some sort
of branch bank. The branch bank at Wash
ington is charged with $4,000, which is
worthless. Assets listed stocks and securt-
ties am ounting to S116,700 practically
worthless. There appears to be nothing among
the assets of substantial value, unless it can be
found among the nstalment loans real es
tate. Of the nominal value of S46.439.
The 14Ctna Banking and Trust Company Is a
corporation organized under the laws of West
Virginia. and during the last few years there
have been frequent large transfers Cf its stock
That the money of the depositors has been

Historical ADDRESS.

Brockton, Mass. Oct. S0.--Governor Curtis Guild,
jr., addressed two rallies in Canton and Grand
halls here tonight. He devoted a large part Of
his address in each hall TO charges made by John
B. Moran. Governor Guild spoke in part follows:
! suggest to my antagonist that. if he out
election for him to attempt an explanation to the
people why he has neglected one important
duty after another to which I have called his at
tention.
1 have tried to be absolutely fair to him and
10 only his public record against him in this
campaign, and honestly regret that his campaign
has reached the Level where he has found II neces-
sary descend TO the kind of attack made for the
first time by him last night BY insinuation and in
improperly in connection with the monument erect
ed in Springfield TO the memory of President Nc
ktney.
It is perfectly true that not only this occa-
sion but upon several other occasions. 1 have ac-
cepted fee orator of the day for the prepara-
tion and delivery Of historical address.
Mr.. Moran put forth the statement last night
that Senator Fairbanks had at his place in War
between 5000 and 5000 of Massachusetts prop
upon send the district police 10 Warren TO
recover the property. The plain intmation is that
Senator Fairbanks had stolen property from the
commonwealth of Massachusetts,.
ind that so far from having taken state prop
erty for his own use which, If true, should call
for instant arrest and prosecution, Senator Fair
banks is in reality. it happens saving the

any expense 10 the commonwealth. which Is thus
actually saving money by the courtesy of Senator

PHILIPPINE ASSEMBLY.
Preparations for Experiment IN Self
Government I'm Islands.

Washington, Oct. 30.-The President is pre-
pairing to redeem his promise made to the Philip
pine people through Secretary Taft that they
shall have a parliament of their own. conditioned
upon their good behavior for two years. and It is
understood that Secretary Taft will go to the
Philippines next spring to witness the installa-
tion of the new form of representative govern
ment On March q, 1905. the Philippine census
was published. and consequently two years from
that date, March %, 1907. under the terms of
the act of Congress- the President will direct the
Philippine Commission TO call general election
for the choice of delegates to what will be
known the Philippine Assembly. This body is
to take over all legislative powers heretofore ex-
ercised by the Philippine Commission IN all that
part of the archipelago not inhabited by Moros
non Christian tribes.
AS this date draws near the Philippine people
are showing signs Of agitation and to the off,
cials here it is evident that they are expecting
some benefits that cannot at once be realized.
For instance, the assembly Of Provisional Gov
ernors recently in session in Manila. with the
view to arranging the prelimnaries for the
meeting Of the Philippine Assembly is reported
to have recommended that the suffrage be
widely extended. 1t is pointed out here that this
is not possible. for the reason that the act of
Congress under which the Assembly will be
convened expressly states the qualifications of
voters. These in brief, that the voter must
be at least twenty-three years of age (Which
was the Spanish requirement) mus. be able To
read and write either Spanish or English or
must own certain small amount OF property
or must have been offcehoder under the
Spanish government. These qualifications were
framed upon the old Spanish practice and no
Philippine Assembly change them
The Assembly. Legislature will CON-
stst of two houses to be known as the Philtp-
pine Commission and the Philippine Assembly

When he came out he was smiling but would

It was said yesterday that MI Wahle had re-
ceved a letter from the foreman of the grand

Day il the various districts. The Hearst man.
rsess saying ugly things about the apathy OF
she Tammany leaders. and apparently Murphy
himself is getting uneasy about the prospect OF
s.ecfing his judges.
There IS the best of reasons for believing tia the
Tammany election officials VIII take desps ate
chances IN mutilating Republican ballots on cleo
sion night. Hearst suffered from this very thing
las, fall ne says. and the same men whom he
charges with having robbed him OF his rights will

Tie :=earst managers are growing more and
more desperate over the situation. Where they
can contso, Tsnnany election officials they will
exercise their power. One Of the chief reasons
given by tie Hearst managers for combining with
Ts-nHany Hall IS that that was the only means
Of getting the Eearst vote counted cast. Now
.SEt tae Hearst and Murphy working for
q common cause Il will require the utmost dill
xerce and frnlness the part OF Republicans and
those charged with watching the count to see that

The policy OF TamHlsny Hall this year IS TO advise
voters place their in the circle underneath
the star next Tuesday. This much was admitted
by Charles F. Murphy in an interview yesterday
and ii slso learned that these instructions were
being communicated by Maurice BIumenthal, head
OF the Tsmmsny Hall speakers bureau to his
possibility Of ballots becoming defective or void
the safest way for the voter 10 do Is TO place
his cross :n the circle under the starr" the Tam
many leader asked.
with broad smile Mr. Murphy replied:
Yes, think So That would be the safest and
surest'
When Mr.. Murphy was asked last night about
the contest in the 18th District, where Senator
Grady is opposed by Thomas Rock, the Republican
labor candidate. he said:
Il notice that some of The papers say that made
Rock certain promises IL he would get out OF
the way of Grady. 1 made Rock promise
win Rock beat Grady?"
NO don't think 50 said Mr.; Murphy. Grady
IS Just good a labor Rock. guess he
can get more labor votes than Rock"

A NEW SIBERIAN RAILWAY.
Plan to Join Ussuri and Transbaikal
Branches and Develop Nikolaievsk.

from Harbin say that surveys have been begun
and construction will be started early in 1907 OF
a railroad 10 join the Transbaikal and Ussuri
branch railroads. thereby providing northern
outlet for the Transsiberian trunk line TO Niko-
laievsk at the mouth OF the Amoor. The rail-
road will tap the rich gold and coal areas of the
upper Amoor. II starts at Stretensk, runs six
hundred and sixty miles. entirely In Russian ter
ritory through Pokrovsk and Tolbuzina, avoids
a wide detour of the river and ends at Khaba-
rovsk. The scheme is Identical with the plan
sanctioned by Alexander III, who intended to
form this northern branch. 1t was abandoned
after the acquisition of Port Arthur. In favor OF
the southern route 1t is intended to develop
the port OF Nikolaievsk, which, in a measure,
would compensate for the loss OF Port Arthur.
