''THE BROWNSVILLE MYSTERY

That the result of the Brownsville
investigation at Washington, D. c.
by the United States Senate Com
mittee on Military Affairs has been
highly favorable to the colored SOL
diers hardly admits OF a question.
That II has produced a most marked
impression upon the thougatful
conservative citizens everywhere is e
qually evident. The Washington,

under the caption of Tine Browns

After two months of investigation

mystery than ever. The Committee

Not the slightest admission was
secured froLl the Negro soldiers by
the skilled interrogators OF the SEN

the soldiers had done the shooting
or had any knowledge of the per-

who were In charge Of the Negro

The Brownsville INQUIRY bv devel.
oping the fact that the army Officers
concerned have changed their mfnds
tends TO make the position OF the
reviewing authorities somewhat en-
barrassing. The President based his
punishment of the Negro soldiers
upon the information furnished bv
Jne officers and their recommenda-
lions based upon this information
lJ now appears that the information
was iragmentary and much OF 70 err
roneous, aud the recommendation
are not such as would be made IN
the officers were TO report ON tho
facts as developed. The renorfs az
MAJ Blocksom and Gen. Darlington
were based partly on the Information
furnished by the officers at Browns
VIE who then believed their mon
sullty- and who now believe them
innocent.
Is nyhing more evident than thai
President Roosevelt viii be called
upon to reverse himself and 10 re-
seind that order which viii stand as

Properties of Gasoline.

A gasoline tank rarely explodes. It
cannot unless it contains gasoline
vapor and air in explosive proper
tons, which latter condition is almost
never present. 1t. does not explode
because it contains too little air or
too much gasoline. Even if a tank of
gasoline were to burst from heat ap-
piled to its exterior, the confined
heavy gas would not explode if in
contact with flame or fire, but would
burn instead. A tank of gasoline
with no vent would do considerable
damage were it to burst and throw
burning oil and flaming gas about, but
1000 gallons of gasoline in a vessels
bilgesi would not be so dangerous
froms explosion as hundredth of
that amount. The larger quantity
would burn rapidly, while the smaller
would be sufficient, if mixed with the
proper amount of air, to demolish ut.
terly almost any boat.

viii Give Pet Proper Burial.

Members of the Rescue fire com.

be devoted to buying a burial ground
for "Old Mack" fire horse which has
been in the service of the Rescue for
27 years, relates the York, Pa, cor.
respondent of the Philadelphia Press.
Mack is not yet dead and is still
able to perform service. On account
of his great age, however, the Rescue
boys, all of whom have kindly feel
ing for the faithful animal, realize that
the horse cannot live many more
years. They propose to purchase a
lot and erect thereon fitting monu-
ment to York's Oldest fire horse.
MACK" is considered to be one of
the most intelligent horses in the city
and is present at all banquets Of the
Rescue company.
At present he is not in active ser.
vice, but is being kept at the engine
house as pet for the Rescue fire
ladies.

Sixteen Skeletons Found.

Mankato.-A total of sixteen head
less skeletons has been removed from
the small natural mound on Arthur
Mitchell's farm in South Bend town
ship, and further excavation has ceased
for the present.
A flint arrowhead was found stick
ing between the vertebrae of one of
the skeletons, thus revealing the
manner of death of at least one of the
men whose bones were found. The
bones of this particular redskin will
be presented to the state university
for preservation.
Thomas Hughes, historian oflocal
rcpute and well known in the state
historical society, holds the theory
that the bones found were those of
Sioux Indians killed by enemies and
buried by French miners more than a
half century ago.
