Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-01-03

The Philippine federal party has come out with manifesto. Just where the party got its authorization to speak for the islands the document does not say. But copies have been received in Washington and beside them the terri tOrial organization of the Isle of Pines dwindles into insignifcance. The fed eral party wants not only home rule, but it would like five representatives in congress. There are lot of other provisions in the manifesto. all of more or less academic interest But the only one that looks like a conces- sion to the United States at all is that the president of the United States shall retain the veto power over measures passed by the Philippine house of rep resentatives. The manifesto doubtless will he presented to congress. There is always some one found who is will, ing to introduce anything in congress up to a subsidy bill for flying ma. chimes. But it is doubtful if the mani- festo will have any material effect on the government beyond swelling the revenues to the extent of the postage that was necessary to bring it here.

oRLoFF HANGED REBELS.

Moscow Prisoners Shot Without Sem.
 blance of a Trial.
 LONDON, Jan. 3.-Dispatches from St. Petersburg say that the column un. der General Orloff sent to put down the insurrection of the Lithuanians in the Baltic provinces is making slow prog ress. ....
 When the Russian column reached a station near Mitau General Orloff inter- rogated the mayor, the deputy mayor and the station master. They told him they no longer recognized the czar. They were immediately hanged.
 The strike continues on the Siberian railway, which troops hold. having driven off the railway men. Troop trains are being rushed homeward with crews of soldiers. No regard is paid to time tables, with the result that many casualties have already occurred, and heavier disasters are feared.
 A Moscow dispatch says that an eye witness of the surrender of the rebels at the Prokharoff mills saw two of the ringleaders shot without even the sem blance of a trial.
 An Irkutsk dispatch says that revo- lutionists h9ve seized the city of Kras- noyarsk. Siberia. massacred the garri- son and hanged the governor and the chief of police.

by process of international law. The little states are prone enough to Dor row at any rate of interest the lenders choose to demand. Under ordinary circumstances their borrowing power would be limited by their own credit. The people who loaned them money would know the risks they ran and charge a commensurate rate of inter- est. But if the United States have practically the credit of this govern ment behind them and foreigners will be much more ready to lend their money, knowing that this government will see it repaid. Senator Morgan and his colleagues do not believe that this is good position for tine government to place itself in, and there will be lot of very bitter criticism of the whole of the governments SantO Domingan policy as soon as the treaty is sent to the senate.

President Roosevelt is credited with breaking up state machines to strength en his grip upon the party. If the de. struction of Coxism in Ohio. Quayism in Pennsylvania. Addickism in Della ware and Odellism in New York may be so regarded. it is doubtful if the American people will regret his course or the outcome. He is also credited with aspiring to a seat in the United States senate to succeed Senator Platt, who will retire in 1909, when Presi- dent Roosevelt's term also expires.

COLON A PEST HOLE.
Condition of Panama Zone City a Dis-
 grace to Our Government.


 grace to Our Government.
 COLON, Jan. 3.-The condition of this city of 10000 inhabitants is a dis grace to civilization It stands at the entrance to the canal which it is hoped will be the pride and glory of Ameri- can achievement, reproach to those who have been intrusted with the full fillment of that expectation. Its citi- zens, long ago promised good and sani- .tary surroundings, are kept in inde- scribable filth in houses barely lifted on rotting piles from green, slimy wa ter, muck and sewage so deep that it cannot dry under the blazing tropical sun. There is wide lagoon of it a mile long, ever thickly populated.
 AS death removes those who yield to their environment. others, attracted by hope of living by work on the canal, move in to die instead, and thousands of dollars a month for the privilege of go- ing through the process is paid by the victims of American bad faith and neg lect.
 Towering palms and wide spreading, graceful jungle growths hide from sight the fostering city of the poor. The houses are tumble down shacks raised from the marsh on posts of rough boards, unpainted, forlorn, crowded with negroes and whites, who may reach them on narrow boards also raised from the slime and made to serve as walks. They may not reach them if they step off the boards unless . helping hand is near.
 This is the condition the city has been in for one year and half of ca- nal commission management. When the United States took over the canal zone it agreed to put both Colon and Panama in good sanitary condition, but the promise has not been kept.

SkEMBER OF ASSOCIATED PRESS :
WEDNESDAY, JAN 3, 1906.

New York's new police head, Gen eral Bingham, has already shown that he can talk if he cannot do anything else, and he doesn't hesitate to follow up his speeches with profanity. When Big Bill Devery used similar language nearly every paper in the big city was knocking him from morning till night. Bingham may be all right, but he will find that talk and profanity will not run his department.

Much has been said within the last day or two about the president setting aside the civil service rules for the purpose of rewarding s. H. Alexander. who some few years ago defended the postoffice at Emma. N. C., against bur glars and giving him a clerkship in the department. This recalls the very dlf- ferent treatment received by a hero of the railway mail service some fif- teen or twenty years ago. At that time a fearful epidemic of yellow fever was raging at Jacksonville. Fla. All the country was alarmed and wanted to quarantine against the mail. The chief clerk of the railway mail service at Charleston, $. C., volunteered to % 10 Jacksonville and disinfect the mail. For six weeks he lived in a freight car some four or five miles out from Jack. sonville. and faithfully fumigated all the mail out of Jacksonville. At first the farmers refused to supply him with provisions. but he stuck to his post. cooking his own meals and eating and sleeping in the car. When the epi- demic subsided he returned tO Charles ton and the first letter he found in his office was one from the department notifying him that "for the good of the service his services as chief clerk would be dispensed with. and he was assigned to a run on one of the rail- roads at a salary of s0D0 less than he had been previously receiving. Later this injustice was corrected by his re- instatement.

HEARD IN PASSING

It is not understood that MT Hughes will throw any obstacles in the way of Andrew Hamilton's return to this country. "
 From the way he talks one might in- fer that Lanky Bob was mad because Major Miller has not eloped with Mrs Fitzsimmons.
 If it wasn't MT Harriman's support, then it was something else that got withdrawn from under Ben Odell, and that right suddenly.
 Tom Lawson needn't feel sore about the Florists association eclipsing him on that $40,O00 carnation. He still has the record for losing other peoples money in copper.
 General Corbin says that General Chaffee made mighty good cavalry colonel. But the mean part of it was that the conversation seems to have left off at that point.

ANOTHER HEAD OFF
President John A. Mccall Re- signs From New York Life.
PAYS UPS235, ,OOOFOR ANDY HAMILTON
Follows Example of Vice President Perkins as Result of Armstrong
 Investigation of Graft In Insurance Methods.


 NEW YORK, Jan. 3.-President John A. Mccall of the New York Life In surance company. it is said, resigned his position with the company this morning and insisted on it's acceptance He has thus followed the example of Vice President George W. Perkins, who resigned on Dec. 13.
 It is said that Alexander E. Orr, president of the Rapid Transit commits sion, has been selected to succeed Mo Call as president.
 MT. Mccall said to the trustees:
 "It is true that I have made up my mind to resign. Various causes have led me to take this step notwithstand- ing the request of nearly all of the trustees that serve out my term. In the first place, there have been changes companies, and unless there was a change in the head of the New York Life our rivals would attempt to take advantage of the fact by representing that they had been purified, but that the New York Life had not. I have been connected with this company for fourteen years, and 1 am still so wrap ped up in its success that 1 shall not stand idly by and omit to do anyAing that conceive to be for the best inter- ests of the company.
 '"rhe coming year will be very try ing year for all insurance. companies, and if the New York Life happened to fall behind its rivals would naturally lay it to the fact that had not resign ed. Besides, there will be innumerable suits for restitution against the off cers and trustees by the attorney gen. eral, so, all things considered, made up my mind to hand in my resigna- tion."
 Further conference between Mir. Mc- Call and the trustees brought out the fact that Mir. Mccall intended his res ignation to take effect immediately up- on acceptance. --- ...e ---., Thomas P. Fowler, chairman of the New York Life Insurance house clean ing committee, has received from Pres ident Mccall a check for SS5,000 and a note of MT. Mccall for S150,000. mak- ing a total of S235, 900. which it will be recalled was advanced to Judge" Andy Hamilton ostensibly for the pur- chase of site for the annex of the company's new home office.
 Mir. Mccall had promised that unless Hamilton made satisfactory account ing for the money Mir. Mccall himself would reimburse the company. He has done so by paying sS5,000 in cash and agreeing to pay the balance with time notes.

THE GIRL WHO MADE GOOD."

She was only a workhouse atten- dant, humble. unknown, but by having her brains about her and knowing what to do at just the right moment she saved the lives of six hundred un- fortunate women and made herself a heroine. You may think you would have done exactly as she did; perhaps you would. out there was no specu- lation about this girls work--she was confronted with q situation and met it. It's good story for you to read. and the face of the girl is a good one for you to look upon. Next Sundays World will make feature of her.

A NOTABLE OCCURRENCE is
"ARIZONAr SATURDAY NIGHT.

Arizona" will be the attraction at
the Opera House Saturday night.
Whether taken as a whole or in part,
Arizona" holds the attention of both
the casual playgoer and the one who
wishes to go deeper into the story of
the passion of life. The environment
is such that one finds ceaseless attrac-
ton in this bit of dialogue or that bit
of action. The characters are such that
the soldier, the cowboy and the woman,
one after another, occupies the princi
pal place. Having chosen an appeal
ing theme for his story, Augustus
Thomas, the author, also selected a cbl-
lection of people who could not only
preserve all the virtue which there is
in the central idea, but who would each.
by contrast to the other, carry the cen
trial plan and make this mimic world
seem like a real one. The force of the
characters and the excellence of the
situations are backed up by dialogue
which is always brisk, as the talk of
the west should be, and which has a
lightness now, or a sombreness then,
that is as distinct as the mountains
and the shadows that form the back
ground scenes. Seats on sale at the
Laramie Drug store. Prices SIPS, 81,
and rs cents. Curtain rises at 8 O'Clock.

IN NORTHERN ALBANY.

DR.. w. H. Douglas returned this ait
ernoon from the northern part of the
county, where he had been as the guest
of his friend, A. G.. B. Ternan, on the
ranch. There was snow on the ground
when he left and a sharp wind was
blowing. The doctor did not kill any
antelope for the reason he did not see
any. Big game has been pretty well
killed out up there" he said.
