Must Be Personal Gifts.

Washington, February S.-Mr.
Esngelmuller, the Austrian ambassa-
dor here, and acting dean Of the dip
lematie corps, after a conference with
officials of the Washington govern
nent, has advised his government that
it is the wish Of the President and
Mrs. Roosevelt that no official gifts
skalE be presented to their daughter
npon the occasion of her marriage
next week to Mr.. Longworth. Mr..
Nengelmuller, in his circular to the

Austria. Whatever presents are sent
will be in the name Of the sovereign.
They will be in the nature Of person

A SENSATION PROMISED.
A Letter Which Capt. J. r. Fant
Wrote to Senator Tillman About
the Dispensary Four Years
Ago.

Columbia, February 9.-Mr. Lyon
Friday night put in evidence letter
from Captain J. R. FAINT, chief consta-
BILE, to Senator Tillman. This letter
was referred to in Captain Fant's S
testimony in the senate chamber in
August, when he had said that he had
reported in December, 1901, to Sena-
tor Tillman that there was corruption
in the enforcement Of the dispensary
law, and that Senator Tillman had
taken no notice Of his letter.
This letter has been sent to the
committee from Edgefeld with re-
quest for publication. Mr.. Lyon
would not give it out tonight as Mr..
Bellinger was not present at the time,
and Mr.. Gunter's name was mention
ed.
The letter is "hot reading,'' and
shows that Senator Tillman, so far
back as four years ago, had had re-
ported to him the alleged misdoings
Of the dispensary.

A Gentle Hint.

General Wistar was, for a number

MIA Academy Of Natural Sciences. The
Christian Endeavor World tells one
Of his stories. At one Of the acade-
my's meetings rather odd and orlgl-
nal method Of reaching the north pole
was suggested: of this method the
president said smiling:

Francisco friends Of mine once took

"These guests came to spend the
evening, and didn't know when to de-
part. My friends were patient with
them, very patient; but when eleven,
twelve, and finally one o'clock struck,
the husband realized that something
must now be done.

COSTLY SUIT OVER SMALL SUM.
Two Judges, a Jury and Eighty-Four
Witnesses in the Case.

Two judges and jury have spent
four days and night in Talbot coun-
tX court, Easton, Maryland, wrest-
ling with a contest between a white
man and negro over strip Of land
worth $2.16. Even when the case is
settled it win not determine the own
ership Of the strip and another suit
must be fled.
The suit has been twice removed
from other courts, eighty-four wit
nsssees have been summoned, whose
expenses will amount to $3.50; the at
terney's fees will not be less than
$3.50 and court costs will amount to at
least $500.
The tract in dispute is triangular
formed by the intersection Of two
reads near Still Pond, Kent county.
Horace Garner, colored, has occupied
the strip in question, which contains
an acre and a half. William II.
Rowe bought the adjoining farm from
Dr. John Kelley, who had previously
se1d the triangular strip TO the negro.
Garner put up fence on what he
sensidered the dividing line. Bowers
ripped it down and burned it. Gar
aer brought suit for malicious destruc-
tien of property. The case was re-
moved first from Chestertown on ac-
count Of impartiality, to Queen Anne
eeunty court at Centerville. Then it
was transferred here.

Comments on the Graft Institution by
A North Carolina Paper.

Raleigh On. CO. Evening Times.
Unless the unexpected happens in
the senate, the South Carolina legis-
lature will wipe out that abominable
dispensary system before the present
session has been concluded, which is
proceeding Of more than passing
interest to other states so desirous Of
finding the best solution Of the liquor
problem. The solution is not the dis
pensary-as a state institution at
least-and it's reputation in the home
Of it's birth is more than sufficient
proof that it does not work for tenn
perance or sobriety. It is merely a
money-making scheme after all, the
feeling being general that the grafters
and not the taxpayers reaped the
profits. The plan Of the bill to abolish
the system provides for general prohl-
bition, although when one-thlrd OF
the voters in any county sign a petit
ton an election may be held to deter
mine whether or not local dispensarles
may be opened. The main thing to re-
member, however, is that the state IS
preparing to reform. It will get out
Of the liquor business and it will ad-
nit officially that the law which has
brought bloodshed and riot and bitter
ness instead Of good feeling and less
drinking was farce from its incep-
ton. South Carolina has struggled
with handful Of men who had per-
sonal and political reasons for de-
manding that it be retained. But a
wonderful change Of sentiment has
come over the people. South Carolina
has struggled with the law for u
years without persuading other states
to copy the plan and none are likely
to adopt it, now that it has proved a
signal failure in every way. The de"

A New National Spirit in the Great
Eastern Empire.


Berlin.-In an interview on Thurs
day with a correspondent regarding
reports that the United States are pre-
pairing for armed interference in
China, Lieut.. Gen. Yen Tchang, Chi
nese minister here, said: "Anti-for-
eign outbreaks in China are an evi-
dence Of the awakening of a new ma
tional spirit. China will no longer
tolerate foreign aggressions and will
not allow Chinese abroad to be treat
ed as an inferior race.
cat the same time [ do not believe
that American preparation is really
directed against China, but is meant
to serve some other purpose. I think
the repitition of united action on the
part Of the powers against China IS
impossible, in consequence of the po-
litical. situation. No power is likely
to risk the danger Of single-handed ac~
ton. Moreover, China is now in posi-
ton to place in the field modern
army of 100000 men, and this num-
Der is steadily increasing. China will
now at least try to stand up for her
rights.''

Some Of the Disclosures Made in the
Report of the Special Commit
tee of Investigation.
tee Of InVt


New York. February S.--The spe-
clal committee appointed by the trus-
tees OF the New York Life Insurance
company to investigate the affairs Of
the company today made a partial re-
port Of its labors to the directors. This
report deals only with the relations
Of Andrew Hamilton, the legislative
agent, with the company and is a Sc
we're arraienment of his methods.
John A. Mccall, late president Of
the New York Life, also comes in for
a share Of the committees criticism.
He is blamed for his methods in con-
nection with "the bureau Of taxation
and legislation' during the last ten
years. and for allowing Hamilton to
pay out vast sums without proper
accounting. Special attention is call
ed to remittances of $4,000 to Mr..
Mccall in London. and S134,500 to
Hamilton in Paris in 1900. The pur-
poses Of these remittances, the COM
mittee says, it has been unable to as
certain, and recommends that proceed
ings be instituted against Hamilton
and Mccall for an accounting or re-
payment. The committee says an an
nual average sum Of $61 900 was paid
to Hamilton from 1896 to 1905.
The committee adds that applica-
ton has been made to Mr. Mccall for
information regarding the transac-
tions, but that it is Informed by Mr.. +
Mccall 5 family that his physical and
nervous condition is such that the sub .
ject cannot be taken up at present. :.
AS to Mr.. Hamilton s health, which !;
has been represented as being bad, the
committee says it has been Informed
that he was physically able to travel,
and has exerted every effort to induce
him to return to make a full dlsclos-
ure Of his payments. disbursements !
and transactions, but without success. .
The committee also holds both Nc
Call and Hamilton responsible for
$4,000 advanced to Hamilton to pay
the state tax, and which the commit !
tee declares was used by Hamilton
for his own purposes. The committee
is advised that both are liable for this
sum. The committee maintains also
that it is a matter for legal adjudica- t
ton as to whether George ". Perkins
Of the firm of J. P. Morgan e. Co., is
not liable for the payment Of Hamll- |
tons notes for $59,310. Mr.. Perkins
paid this account, the committee
holds. out Of the New York Life In
surance company's share Of profits in
8 United States Steel Corporation
syndicate. The committee holds also |
that the payment Of these notes by
the company was unwarranted. 1t IS
only Just to Mr. Perkins to say the
report adds, that he acted in the mat
ter in entire good faith, that he deriv-
ed no benefit from the transaction,
and that his liability, if any. is tech
nical one.
The committee recommends that the
law department Of the company instl-
tute appropriate legal proceedings to
carry into effect the findings and con-
clusions of this report.
The report is signed by 7. P. Fow-
ler. Norman B. Ream, Hiram B.
Steele, Augustus G. Paine, Clarence
, H. Mackey, and was unanimously
adopted.

At the Fourteenth Continental Con-
gress of the Daughters of the American
Revolution, when Mrs. Mclean was
Regent of the New York Chapter, she
assisted in introducing a resolution
looking to the burial of Paul Jones in
Annapolis, Nd, that being her native
State. Besides having local pride,
she thought the first naval hero of the
nation should be buried near to the
great naval school.
There was tremendous opposition to
the proposition, and the congress voted
to clay the resolution on the table," an
expression used in parliamentary pro-
ceedings to defer action on the subject.
Later it was taken up, but the congress
voted against taking the body of the
naval hero to Annapolis and favored
bringing it to Washington for burial in
Arlington. Mrs. Mclean has now, how
ever, seen one of her dearest wishes
carried out, and, as head of one of the
greatest societies of patriotic women
in the world, she was guest of honor
at the recent burial ceremonies of Ad-
miral Paul Jones at Annapolis.
