ING GREAT ACTIVITY.

Chicago. Aug 1S.-The Democratic con-
gressional situation was the subject mat
ter of an extended conference today be-
tween National Chairman Mack and Con-
gresham James Lloyd, after which it
became known that the Democratic con-
gressonal committee would not only CO.
operate with the campaign committee
wherever possible, but would render any
financial aid necessary. The two COM
mittees have worked heretofore harmoni-
ously as separate organizations.
Congressman Lloyd told Chairman Mack
that prospects were bright for the election
of Democratic house and with proper
aid many districts formerly regarded as
safely Republican would be found this
year in the Democratic column.
Chairman Mack told Congressman Lloyd
that the national committee could be de-
pended on to give any assistance re-
quired.
Strong Bryan Sentiment.
State Senator Timothy Sullivan of New
York. who is returning from a visit 10
Seattle. where he attended a convention
of the Eagles. called on Chairman Mack
today.
Everywhere 1 have been I found the
sentiment strong for Bryan said Sena-
tor Sullivan. New York will be for Bryan
and we will elect a Democratic state tick
ct from the governor down. l do not
for governor but l hope it will be Lieuten-
ant Governor Chanler l heard reports
out west that Tammany hall would not
be for Bryan. That is not so. The hall Is
always regular. for that is the secret OF
its strength. Were our bitterest enemy
nominated on the Democratic ticket the
hall would work harder than ever to over
come any suggestion of irregularity. Tam
many hall will never teach its voters to
scratch a ticket, for it might come back
to plague us

WITNESS IN
ARMY SCANDAL
Officer on Crook a Principal
Witness in important +:
Forgery Trial.

Captain William Weigel of the
Eighteenth Infantry, who has been on
duty in the Philippines with his regi-
ment, is now passenger aboard the
United States transport Crook, en- route
to Chicago, where, before the Federal
Court, he is to be the principal witness
in a sensational trial, in which Cap
tain Daniel f. Keller, or rather former
Captain Keller, mas been indicted for
forging the name of Colonel w. w.
Robinson, assistant quartermaster-gen-
eral, Z. s. n.
Keller went to the Philippines as a
lieutenant of volunteers, and secured
a small island in the southern group
which he said he intended to exploit
to develop pearl fisheries. He returned
to the United States and was made a
captain in the Regulars, and was sta
toned at Fort Sheridan, where Captain
Weigel, now aboard the Crook, messed
with him. Weigel had a book of q. S.
Treasury blank checks, which he kept
under lock, but one day he had it
ont and left it around, and when next
he examined it he found three pages,
six blank checks, missing. Keller was
not suspected at the time
Keller was later sent to Cuba, where
he resigned, saying he had large pri-
vate interests to take charge Of He
went to Nevada and passed two of the
checks, both signed W. W. Robinson,
one for $4,000 and the other for $4,000,
The Treasury pronounced them forger-
les.
Keller was next heard of in Van
couver and Victoria, where he "few
high and got rash enough to deposit
one of the blank checks filled out for
$92, ,000 The bank suspected and tele-
graphed Washington. Washington
wired back to hold him. He was ex-
tradited and taken into custody, but
he managed to escape. Two days later
he was reeaptured, but again he gave
his eaptors the slip and it was three
months later before he was again taken,
this time in Mexico. He was taken to
Chicago and indicted, and Weigel is on
his way to Chicago now to give evil
dence against him.

SECRET SERVICE
MEN On CROOK
Broke Safe and Photographed
Documents While on
Big Hunt.

One of the central figures of an ex-
citing experience in insular govern
ment circles of the Philippines, Colonel
H. B. Mccoy, Deputy Collector of Gus
toms, is a passenger aboard the United
States Army transport Crook, accom-
panied by his wife, on eight months
leave of absence He is en- route to
Washington, and has business of an
important nature with the War and
other Departments.
Mccoy was recently prosecuted in
the Philippines on charge of falsif-
cation of public document, was tried
and found guilty of official imprudence
and negligence, and was sentenced to
Imprisonment for four months and
twenty days in Bilibid, but was, imme
diately following the sentence, fully
pardoned by Governor Smith of the
Philippines.
There was no real wrong committed,
according to Governor Smith, the al
legged Justification of a public document
being technical III pursuit of certain
important secret service work.
Colonel Mccoy went to the Philip
pines several years ago as major of
Colorado Volunteers, and later, when
he went back to San Francisco and was
mustered out, he entered the It. s..
Volunteers as lieutenant-c colonel. Ear
ly in 1901 he was appointed to the Gus
toms service, and was made deputy
under Colonel Cotton. In the fall of
1901, W. Morgan Shuster, who was un-
der General Bliss In the customs service
in Cuba, was appointed collector of
customs in the Philippines over Nc
Coy, and when he got TO the Philip
pines he had with him Frank s. Cairns,
who was chief of the customs secret
service of Havana during General
Wood s regime, and who worked on the
famous postal frauds in which Rath-
bone was implicated.
There developed factional fight in
the Philippine customs service, the new
eomers from Cuba being spoken of as
carpet -baggers by the ex-soldier en-
ployes of the customs.
Mccoy was at the head of the vet
Grams of the army of the Philippines,
and Shuster captained the Cuba con-
tingent, and it was merry war. The
general idea seemed to be- that each
side was attempting to clean the other
OUT of the service.
When Shuster was appointed a mem
Der of the Philippine Commission, Me-
Coy was made acting collector of Gus
toms, and in that capacity he thought
he had good reason to believe there
was conspiracy against the Philip
pine government. He put Secret Ser
vice Agent Manion, also now aboard
the Crook, on the track of the alleged
game, and Manion and an assistant one
night broke into Cairns safe and took
out all the correspondence and docu-
ments therein and had each one photo
graphed for reference, afterwards re-
placing the letters and other documents

DR.. BINGHAM
SERIOUSLY ILL

The Rev. DIR. Hiram Bingham has
for several days been very i'll and fears
have been entertained for his recovery.
Dr. J. T. Mcdonald, asked as to
the condition of his patient, last night
stated that the principal cause for
anxiety in DR.. Bingham's case is his
low vitality and feeble reserve of re-
sisting power. He has been rather in
firm for many months past, his pro-
longed Iabors on his Gilbertese die
tionary. recently completed, having
taxed his strength to the utmost.
About a week ago he contracted
common cold but kept up and around
as usual for few days untr DR.. Nc
Donald was called and advised him to
keep to his bed,
While his trouble is yet principally
in the upper air passages there is al
WAYS dreaded tendency in elderly
patients for the affection to insidi-
ously creep downward to broncho-
pneumonia, a most serious matter In
a man of DR. Bingham's advanced
years and limited strength.

PHILIPPINE DEMOCRATS
WANT RECOGNITION

Aboard the transport Crook is T. III.
Cassidy. accompanied by his wife. who
is en- route to Denver to attend, at
least he expects to attend. the Ma
tional Democratic Convention, as one
of six delegates which the Democrats
in the Philippines are sending to knock
for admission at the door of the big
convention.
The Democratic National Committee
refused to recognize the Philippines in
apportioning delegations. Porto Rico
got six and Hawaii got six, so the
Philippines sat up and took notice and.
though unlimited, are sending six to
ask please can they get in. One
passed through in the Korea. Cas-
sidy is the second. The other four
will pass through shortly. probably in
the transport Thomas.

Chinese Labor.

In the current number of the North
American Review, Secretary Straus
gives the result of his personal investi-
cation into~the workings of the immi-
grafton laws and the Chinese Exclu-
sion Act He writes:
''The question of immigration has
been of great Importance to the United
States since the beginning of our his
tory It has changed materially in
many respects with the growth and de-
velopment of the country, but with the
changes that have taken place the ques-
tion itself has steadily increased in
vital Importance. In the beginning,
we depended wholly upon the migra-
tions from older nation of the world
to this continent; but even then the
migrations differed essentially from the
migrations of earlier ages. The latter
were due to different causes, and were
for different purposes from those which
impelled the migrations TO our part of
the continent. Formerly migrations
were en- masse, not indlvidualistic. They
were undertaken Tor the benefit of the
state from which the migrants came.
In all considerations of the question
as it pertains to the United States, a
clear line of distinction must be drawn

EXPANSION BRINGS CONPLICA-
TIONS
"The legislative regulation of immi-
grafton presents an increasingly COM
plex problem as the jurisdiction of the
United States expands. 1t would be
relatively simple if the nation were
small and compact, with industrial op-
erations so generally alike as to be sus-
ceptible of a uniform system. But the
industries and occupations of the people
of the United States are greatly di-
versifed and are carried on under
widely varying conditions. Moreover,
instead of being confined to a single,
contracted area. the jurisdiction of the
nation extends to such distant and far
separated possessions as Alaska, Pana-
ma, Porto Rico, Hawaii, Guam and the
Philippines.
"These outlying possessions not only
differ from the body of continental
territory as to their position and needs
with regard to labor and immigration,
but they differ likewise among them
selves. A particular policy of restrie-
ton, in the matter of immigration, ex-
pressly designed to meet the situation
on the mainland, cannot be perfectly
adapted to the needs of insular com
munities. each of which has its own
industrial problems TO solve.
"The need of differentiation in the
regulation of immigration was brought
home to me with great force during the
past summer, when. besides actually
viewing the administration of immi-
grafton laws along the borders of Can
