 When the jailer visited the jai t,i> morning he found that the doors hai been pried open with heavy bars, evil dentiy furnished by outside parties and the prisoners were gone with a long lead.
 There is no clue to their Wtc1e al outs although a thorough searcn las been instituted for them.

HANS BOYS
 BOUND OVER
Held to Grand Jury Without Bail on 7@ the Charge of Murdering ". E. An-
 nis-lnsanity Is Probable Defense
 Of Capt. HainS.

New York. Aug. 2S.-Capt. P. c. -Hains Jr. and his brother, T. Jenkins Hains, were held without bail for the action of the grand jury on the charge of the murder of William s. Annis.
 Captain Hains of the United States Army, shot and killed Annis at Bay side, L. l., nearly two weeks ago, and T. Jenkins Hains, it is charged, held spectators at bay while the captain did the killing. They were arraigned in Magistrate Gilroy's court, Long Is- land City, today on the charge of mur- der.
 k T. Jenkins Hains was accused of be- ihg an accessory to the murder, while he captain is alleged to be the prin- Icipal
 k The announced intention of Cap tain Hains' counsel to plead insanity as his defense, together with sensa- iional charges which Captain Hains' counsel will make against the cap tain's wife, involving an alleged con- fession by her of improper friendship for Annis, have given the case an un usual interest
 It was expected counsel for T. Jen- kins Hains would endeayor to have charges against him dismissed on the ground that he took no actual part in the killing and that all he did was to protect his father.
 The Hains brothers were taken from Queens county jail handcuffed toSeth- CT and rode on a street car ill custody of~a. deputy sheriff to Magistrate Gil roy's court Captain Hains, who when he last appeared in court, wore the uniform of his army rank, was today clad in citizens clothes and his pallor and unshaven appearance indicated the effects of his confinement in jail

ATLANTIC CITY
 IS IN REVOLT
Governor Stands Pat on Procjamati"n But Citizens Give Defiance to Threat to Call Out the Troops Expected That Open Warfare Will Come Soon,

Sea Girt. N l.. Aug. 2S.--GOyernOr day concerning his proclamation of yesterday and the defiance of Atlantic City that he dare not call out the mi 1tia to enforce the Bishop law:
 'I will stand on my proclamation unequivocally. I mean every word The people will learn that 1 am not attempting to intimidate by threats ;
 Through a member of Governor Fort $ summer cabinet" it was learn- cd today that before issuing the proc lamation yesterday he sounded the at itude of the various members of the legislature and was given assurance that if he called special session they would stand by him and provide what ever assistance he required to en- force the laws at Atlantic City
 He was assured that despite the re- volt at Atlantic City the legislature would authorize him to enforce the law there, even to the necessity of patrolling the <esort with troops and placing it under martial law" Thereupon the proclamation was is sued with the threat to call a special session. But it is said on the same. authority that the governor did not receive the same assurance of his de- sire to obtain authority for the re- moval of officers who fail to perform their duties
 He has asked the legislature for this power in the past, and it has been denied
 It is fully believed here that next Sunday Atlantic City will continue it's defiance of the governor and be wide open. as in the past.

GRAPHOPHONE NOT
 FOR MATRIMONY

Fort Smith, Aug. 2S.-Dispatches have been sent out of here to the ef- feet that Mont Sims, deputy county clerk, has equipped his office with a photograph for the benefit of bridal couples who may desire to have as swell a wedding as their social stand ing will permit. The dispatches go on to say that while being married they can be regaled by wedding marches and the like. Mr. Sims is studying Spanish by the correspond ing method, and he has bought the graphophone to aid him in his studies, and not for the purpose of giving color to any wedding ceremony He says if his imagination was as brilliant as that of the correspondent of some Lit tie Rock papers he would be worth a million all the time even though it was tied up.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN-Sr: Colonel
Bryan Of Lincoln, Neb., Is said to be giving

In the natural course Of human events the
President who takes his seat the fourth OF
next March will have several. perhaps a
majority, Of vacancies to MI In the SUI

lette as an ideal Chief Justice-a modernized

countries named can only smile at the
idea Of the United States and Germany
coping with Great Britain and Japan.
Midsummer madness-that Is the only
term applicable to such folly.
So far az we are concerned an alliance
with Germany would be absolutely de-
void Of any profit. She might help us to
keep the Philippines, but Mr.. RoosEvELr
has lately said that the sooner we get rid
Of them the better, and that he thinks the
coveted object a be attained within
twenty years. What grave disadvan-
tage would such an alliance bring usp
The moment such q combination became
operative England would be bound by
her treaty with Japan to treat US as an
enemy. We should therefore lose our
best customer. OF what possible conse-
quence is our dwindling trade with China
compared with our tremendous exports
Of cotton and food to the United King
dom? Are then these people crazy that
talk about arraying us with Germany
against Great Britain and Japan?

fiery untamed steeds; and an act Of

good Democrat learn the Denver plat
form by heart. In Oregon he mounts
the Pythian tripod and utters oracles:

the campaign before the fan. ! DO not wtsh to
comment on them or 70 say what they viii be.-
Why hide the book Of fate from eyes

filed with surprises So is Judge
PARKER, who campaigns for others with
a spirit, gayety and multiform accom-
plishment that he was perhaps too con-
sentative to exhibit In 1904,
There will be many strange develop

PLANTATION OF the present huge aecumu-
latlon OF national bank notes In the
Treasury.
The completion Of the circle involves
the redemption OF these bank notes
by the banks which originally issued
them. All issuing banks are required
by law to keep with the Treasurer sin
lawful money OF the United States q
sum equal to 8 per centum' Of their
circulation, ito be held and used for
the redemption Of such circulation.
Ordinarily the total thus held Is from
s25, 200, 900 to $50, 600, 900. Ordinarily also
the amount thus held is nearly double
the amount Of money in process Of re-
demption. At present IL is less than
half the necessary sum. Treating these
sums in totals, charging the banks OF
the country with 500, 0OO, 900. approxi-
mately the sum now in process of redemp-
ton, and crediting them with the total
redemption fund, 1t appears that the
banks W the Treasury some $50, 900, 900,
which cannot be collected until it is
physically possible to count and assert
the evidence Of the debts Of each bank
and then to call upon them for lawful
money for the redemption Of their bills
and the discharge Of this particular
obligation. Nor is the redemption fund
available until the various accounts
a be made up.
. II this physical dislocation,' caused
by a shortage Of hands as q result OF an
insufficient appropriation by Congress,
were corrected the daily Treasury state
ment of, say, August II would show
instead Of t76, 900, 900 In coin bullion
and gold certificates and $80, 900, 900 in
national bank notes the more satisfac-
tory figures Of about sl25, oOO, 900 in coin,
bullion and gold certificates and about
5000 o 900 In national bank notes. As
the situation is distinctly an emergency,
it is evident that the proper remedy
for the evil Is an available emergency
fund at the disposition Of the Treasurer.
II deemed advisable tho employment
Of the fund by the Treasurer could be
made subject to the approval Of tho
Secretary Of the Treasury.
Fortunately at the immediate time
this matter, although serious, Is not
vital. The big surplus saves the day.
1t Is, however, easily conceivable that
a time might come when physical In
ability to assert and count national
bank notes for redemption would compel
an issue Of bonds to meet the current
needs Of the Government. Without
the big surplus we should be in that
condition to-day.

capped the directors OF the company
That Is very clearly shown in the twenty
three articles Of the decree. 1t would
have been much simpler and little less
sweeping to grant to the company a
full and absolute right to do whatever
1t saw fit with any or all Of the streets
Of the city. There has been no more
widely approved law In regard to Cuba
than that OF March 3. 1899, which de-
clared:
mo property. franchises or concessions OF any
kind whatever shall be granted by the United
States or by any military or other authority what
ever in the Island Of Cuba during the occupation
thereof by the United States"
Presumably this law expired with the
transfer Of authority on May 20, 1902.
The principle involved in ii is - vital
to-day as it was during the first inter-
vention. The concession under which
the electric railway company has been
operating provides for extensions, but
only after public bidding. Thb present
decree not only gives authority to extend,
but confers what La Lachd rightly calls
an absolute monopoly Of internal COM
munioations.' The recognition OF earlier
although doubtful concessions for sewer
ing and paving Havana and for sup
plying water and constructing sewers
in Genfuegos may be regarded as justi-
fable, but the grant Of q street railway
monopoly almost on the eve Of the with
drawal Of the United States from the
island is an act Of exceedingly doubtful
propriety, such as In this country would
be bitterly condemned.
1t is a popular belief that a monopoly
Affects Mr.. ROOSEVELT very much as a
red rag affects a bull. Are there good
monopolies and bad monopolies, just
as there are good corporations and bad

Furnishing the Springfield Rioters,

In the situation created by the Spring
field riots tho law authorities Of Illinois
had to choose between the arrest and
prosecution Of a few Of the lawbreak-
ers, including the known ringleaders and
more serious offenders. and what ap-
pears to be a hopeless effort to punish
every guilty man. They have decided
to proceed against all the persons against
whom evidence sufficient for indictment
can be obtained, and already 700 war
rants of arrest are in preparation. As
the investigation proceeds other war
rants will be issued, the policy Of the
State being to bring before the court
all individuals against whom evidence
can be got. n
The wisdom Of this policy is not APP
parent. Desirable as would be the pun
ishment Of every rioter, this Ia imprac-
ticable and the knowledge Of this fact is
not to be kept from jurymen. o can it
be prevented from influencing them In
deciding on their verdicts. Thus the
wholesale prosecution is more liable to
result in inadequate sentences in cases
submitted to juries than would the push
ing Of a few selected cases, Moreover,
the trials must occupy a considerable
period and It is not to be doubted that
the ardor Of the officials will cool as time
passes.
Rather than undertake the hope
less task Of furnishing every rioter the
practicable and sensible thing to do In
such a condition seems TO be to indict
and try promptly the ringleaders and
those of their followers who can be
proved to have committed more serious
crimes in addition to rioting. Thus
the number Of trials would be brought
within reason, justice might move with
an approach to rapldity, and the scandal
Of u~nexecuted warrants, ~pigeonholed in
dictments and the like, certain to result
from such a wholesale crusade as has
been begun. would be rendered much less
probable.
