a representative of the government.
 He renewed his assurances that the United States had no intention of sell ing the Philippine Islands, saying that the country was in honor bound to re- tain them or give the Filipinos their independence. He praised the islands and theiS inhabitants and then turned his attention to the open door in Chi na. He declared that American trade was now second in China and that cer- tain branches of this trade were suffi- ciently important to make it incumbent upon the American government to lis ! ten to the protest of every legitimate i business man against diminution in or injury to this business or political pre- ferment for any competitor. We do not complain" the secretary continued. ''of loss of trade that results from the employment of greater enterprise. in- genuity or attention to the demands of the Chinese market or the greater busi- ness acumen shown by our competi- tors.
 
 We would have the right to protest at being excluded from the trade of China by reason of our insistence up- on the policy of the open door. The acquiescence in this policy of all the nations interested has been so unhesi- tating and emphatic that it Is hardly worth while to speculate upon the probable action of the United States fin case the interests of American mer- chants were placed in jeopardy. and how far the United States would go in the protection of it's Chinese trade I cannot say. Ii is clear. however. that our merchants are being reused tO the importance of the Chinese export trade. and they would view with deep concern any and all political obstacles to its maintenance and expansion. This feeling is likely tO find expression in the action of the American govern ment.
 China has no territory we desire" Mir Taft went on. and she can have no prosperity that we will begrudge. nor will We resent any degree of politi- cal power or independence as an em- pire that is justly exercised.

 . lappe Known In Tenderloin.
 Howard W. Lappe, the young man who has been brought into the case, is known in the Tenderloin district of Pittsburg. He was with his brother, De Forrest Lappe. two years ago when De Forrest was shot and killed by Po- liceman Rufus Ullom. The brothers were members of a crowd of young men trying to escape arrest. They had been out at reception, and early in the morning started for a good time in the Tenderloin. At one place there was trouble, and crowd, including the Lappe brothers, left in a hurry. Policeman Ullom saw the crowd run ming and, believing a burglary had been committed, called on them to halt. To enforce his command the po- liceman shot, one bullet striking De Forrest Lappe, who died in a few hours. Ullom was indicted for mur- der, but never tried.

 Shanghai, Oct. 9.-When Secretary of War William H. Taft and the mem. bers of his party arrived here en route to Manila the Chinese and foreign resi-. dents of Shanghai united in giving the distinguished visitor the heartiest wei. come that ever has been extended to a foreign statesman.
 MT. Taft dedicated the building of the Young Mems Christian association and made brief address, in which he said that the work of the association among the Chinese was a great step ill the interests of civilization. He was followed by several Chinese officials who spoke in approval of the under. taking
 Later the secretary was given an elaborate reception by the Chinese res idents out of doors in a native garden. The decorations were picturesque.
 Presented With Punch Bowl.
 Speeches of welcome were made in English by local Chinese business men, officials and the representative of the viceroy. The Chinamem emphasized the cordial relations existing today be tween China and the United States. saying the friendship of America had been evidenced by sending relief to the famine sufferers. the support of schools and hospitals and the waiving by the United States of her part of the Boxer indemnity.
 In reply Secretary Taft thanked the Chinese for their reception. which. he said. gratifed him as an evidence of their friendship toward the American people and government. At the cOnclu- sion of his address the secretary was presented with a handsome silver punch bowl This reception marked an epoch in the matter of the status of women in China. for many Chinese women of aTistOcraTic families were present at the reception and even pre- sided at tables whence they served refreshments This is the first time such a thing has happened in China

Masnate Keeps His One Man Grip o
 the Union Pacific,


 Salt Lake City, Oct. 9.-E. H. Harrt man, through his representative, W. D Cornish, perpetuated the Hartman one man power in Union Pacific for an. other year at the Union Pacific stock holders meeting here. ~.--..
 It was truly extraordinary situa. ton. The 15,000 shareholders in Union Pacific were represented by Vice Pres. ident W. D. Cornish with suit case full of proxies; P. l.. Williams, counsel for the Oregon Short Line; Joseph Hel. len, an employee of Hartman; r. H. Knickerbocker, stenographer for Will. i Hams; one local reporter, with a proxy, and one insurgent, who likewise held proxy.
 No actor cast for a leading part had his lines down more pat than Vice President Cornish. He even did what all actors desire to do If the lines in the farce as taken down in open meet. ing did not suit him he supplied new lines and saw to 1t that they were spread on record. His support was not perfect, and he was frequently com pelled to coach the Hartman dummies in open meeting.

ID OGUARD MISS SCOTT
Detectives Hurry to Side of Mrs. k Hartje's Young Sister.
WIFE OFFERED A MILLION.
Hartje Increases His Offer of $500, 1000 to Spouse if She Will Consent to Divorce Ida's Letters Admitted to Be Genuine.

DO 0SHutnS.
 Pittsburg, Oct. 9-That the letters of Yda Scott, sister of Mrs. Augustus IIartje, to her former fiance, Harry W. Lappe. are genuine is now no longer disputed. The letters would indicate that Miss Scott had information which would have been valuable to Hartje in his divorce suit, but withheld it in consideration of special favors from her father, John F. Scott.
 But it is asserted that Lappe by a clever sequence of letters. while the Hartje divorce case was being dis cussed, but had not yet been brought to trial. placed certain misleading ideas in the mind of his child fiancee and that she wrote him only in reply to his suggestions.
 Letters of Lappe to Ida Scott draw ing out assertions which she made in writing are said to be in the hands of Mrs. Hartje's attorneys, who declare that at the proper time they will fight fire with fire. That Lappe tried to hold these letters over the head of the Scott family and demanded S3.O00 for them was declared by Mfr. Scott. Failing to receive this sum for the letters. Lappe as now declared by Mir. Hartje, sold them to the libeIant in divorce as evi- dence.
 Detectives Hurry to Miss Scott.
 Detectives have been hurried east to he near the spot where Miss Ida Scott is at boarding school because of the fear that Lappe with his newly &C., quired money would go there and in- duee the young girl to elope with him again.
 Hartje increased his offer of S600.0O0. made to his wife if she would admit certain things. to s1.OO0.OO0 MT. Hart je placed himself on record that he had offered Mrs. Hartie S5O0.O0O if she would consent to a divorce quietly and so cast no slur on the children Mrs. Hartje refused this. and Mr. Hartje said:
 T declare and reiterste that if Mrs Harte will make full avowal of the truth of the charges against her in connection with Tom Nadine and turn over the children to me. thereby per hitting the divorce decree I seek to be granted I will see that she lives as well as she ever did,
 While Mir HartIe will not say posi- lively that he has increased his offer to s1.000O00. this uss the of7ciaI infor- nation brought to Mrs. HartjeIs side of the case. and it vas refused as was the prevfous offer.

send his own checks to Whitney, Ryan, Dolan. Elkins and Widener for SILL 652.7S each and to pay $134,02S.92 to Moore X Schley, bankers. What that payment was for was not revealed, but it is believed William NJ. Wins, chief prober for the public service con- mission, will call members of the firm tO clear up that part of the transac- ton. It may have to do with other franchises purchased The entire ex- penditure of $965,00O was charged in the Metropolitan books as an asset
 When discussing the probability that this transaction came within the pro- tective scope of the statute of limita- tions because it was closed in June, 1902, a man of prominence at the hear ing said if District Attorney Jerome had probed the company three years ago, when William N. Amory filed his charges against the Metropolitan, all the queer financial transactions now being disclosed would have been brought out in tho grand jury room.
 Put It Up to Big Five"
 The purchase of the Brady fran chises was reported to the board of the Metropolitan Securities company on June 10. 1902. This memoranda covering the check was filed:
 Cheek for S965.607.19 to order of Anthony N Brady, being final pay ment under contracts with George S. Bixby for the stocks and bopis of the Interurban. Peoples Traction. New York. westchester and Connecticut and Wall and Cortlandt Street Ferries Railroad companies"
 Twins asked BFady bluntly if he knew anything about the other items contained in that memorandum and covered in the check he had received.
 None whatever" Brady replied, thus putting the entire responsibility up to the Big Five" in the Manhattan and the Philadelphia traction fields. Brady said the money he received was used to pay the Central Trust con- pany for the money it had lent to him when he made the original purchase of the ferry connection franchises. It also met the interest on that loan.

TRACTION JUGGLERY SHOWN.
Whitney, Ryan, Dolan, Widener and Elkins, He Testifies, Got S111,652 Each In Deal Where Franchises Were Sold at $25o,00o.

New York, Oct. 9.-Sitting within a few feet of District Attorney Jerome, who listened intently to every word he said, Anthony \. Brady, millionaire controller of the destinies of the Brook Iyn Rapid Transit. told an astounding story which indicated that William C.. Whitney and Thomas F. Ryan of this city and Thomas DoIan. P A B. WId- ener and William l.. Elkins, the Phil adelphia traction men, had 'cut a melon" at the expense of the MetropOli- tan Securities company which netted each of them S111,G527S.
 Brady was the star witness at the InterbOrOugh Metropolitan investiga- tion before the public service commis- sion. Jerome had an inkling of what was coming and went there to hear the story for himself. so he might he able to decide whether 10 call upon the grand jury to investigate it. He went away without expressing an opinion. Unfortunately for him. it was said. the transaction occurred longer than five years ago. That fact may prevent action unless the law in relation to trustees should apply. Whitney and Elkins are dead. Ryan. DOlan and Widener are living. It is believed that. regardless of the criminal aspects of the situation. civil suits will be be- gun 10 recover the money.
 Brady said he owned franchises for the Wall and COrtlandt Street Ferries Railroad coBpany. declared by the courts to be worthless. and for which road the right of way never had been obtained The rOad never had been built. The plan was to connect tie Wall and Fulton street ferries on the East liver with the CoTisan.st ard LIls- erty street ferries on tke North Tiver 5y e trolley line a 'It:se more tsaa two miles long Brady agreed 10 sei. the franchises to the stagcVpoiifan Se- cIrities e8nrany for what he said they had eost him.

$15,OOO,0OO BOND ISSUE

New York, Aug. 12.-Municipal i'm provement bonds to the amount of $15,000000 were offered for sale to- day. If the offering is failure, the bonds will be disposed of to private bankers Felix G. Insman, Phila- delphia real estate broker, has eX- pressed his willingness to take the en- tire issue at par. At the last offer ing of the city bonds only $2,000,000 was taken out of total amount of 29.00O,000. It was this failure which led Comptrolle Metz to urge the leg islature to pass the McCarren bill. which allows the comptroller to dis pose at private sale of any city bonds not subscribed for when bids are so- Iicited publicly. Nine million dollars of the s15,00O,O0 is needed for various municipal purposes, and many mil lions will soon be required to begin work on the big water supply con- tracts enterd in to by the city.

EDDY CASE
 UP TUESDAY

Concord, x. H., Aug. 12.-Judge Ed gar Aldrich of the United States dis trict court e New Hampshire, sitting as master, and Dr. George F. Jelly
 G EOston and Hosea w. Parker of .; mont, as co-maSters, will tomor-
 lor begin the hearing brought by "ue.t friends" to determine the com petency of Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy, head of the Christian Science church. General Frank s. Streeter will repre- sent Mrs Eddy as leading counsel, while Senator Chandler is the legal representative of George w. Glover and other next friends The inveS- tigation will be devoted solely to the issue as to whether Mrs. Eddy was competent or incompetent to manage and control her business affairs on or about March l, when the present suit was instituted. Judge Aldrich has ruled that all witnesses within the state must be heard orally, instead of
 by deposition. Attorneys for the next friends" hope that the exclusion of dispositions on the part of local wit nesses will also be carried out in the case of Mrs. Eddy, which would bring about what they have desired at all times her appearance before judi cial tribunal. The defense, however, express confidence that a sort of spe- cial dispensation will be shown to
 Mrs. Eddy and that the masters will
 undoubtedly examine her within the
 secluded precincts of Pleasant View
 The plaintiffs have secured deposi- ions tending to prove Mrs, Eddy in
 competent from states as far west as California. Attempts may be made by the plaintiffs to secure an extension Of time, but ihese will almost certain 1y be denied by the masters. Any such move will be fought by Genral Street. CT. attorney for Mrs Eddy. He said
 Mrs Eddy, while of sound mind and able to conduct her affairs, is sui teripg from a general depletion of physical strength. She is now in her &Ih year. and is entitled to a speed2 settlement of the charges brough; against her. To defer this inquiry longer would be a denial of justlcc apd constitutional right, a0e we will fight any such move.
