Cause of Rebellion.

In a statement accompanying his reso-
luton, Mr.. Martin recalls that the Ca
lamba estate was the cause of the Philip
pine rebellion of 1896, which led to a
bloody slaughter of natives in a contest
over the ownership. Mr.. Martin says
that the avowed purpose of the United
States government in making the pur-
chase of the friar lands was to break
them up into small holdings for tenants, 3"
and concludes his statement as follows:
THE evident failure to get this land
into the hands Of the Filipinos, who sac
rificed life for it. places rffe stamp of in
competence, or worse, upon the admin
istraticn in the Philippines, and the sale
of a single acre of this blOOd-bOught es-
tate to foreign sugar interests is nothing
short of a crime. .

Public Hearings Likely.

Investigations looking to the institution
of public hearings similar to that jus
completed in this state are now being
conducted in New York, Wyoming, In
diana, New Jersey, Minnesota, Wisconsin
and Montana.
The shippers of Wisconsin already have
made their formal complaint to the rail
road commission, and in Minnesota the
public authorities are only awaiting the
tabulatiOn of evidence. Three expert in
vestigators have been employed to exam
inc the books of the express companies
in New York at the instance of the at
torney general of that state. and it is
planned to begin public hearings some
time in July
Other states are expected to become in

The most of these rajahs have incomes OF
millions. They live in state at their CAPT
tai cities, wear gorgeous clothing and dec
crate themselves with some of the finest
jewels known to man. The richest of all
is the nizan of Hyderabad. whose revenues
are from $4,000, 600 to $50,OO0OOO a year His

Pauline Lothes, OF 426 Palisades avenue,
Jersey City, as set forth in the complaint
filed by the wife before Vice Chancellor

ance.
The Lothes were married July 10, 1885,

together happily, with an occasional spat

thought Il was a matter OF serious mo-
ment. yet neither cared to say the first

So matters continued. Alfred several
times was doubtless on the point of taking

that he could not kick nor rear up.
All OF these native rulers have their ele-
plants upon which they ride about in state
upon ceremonial occasions. The maharajah
of Jeypore has a dozen or more. Some are
of enormous size. and not few are so dan
gerous that their tusks have been cut Off
and the ends bound with brass rings. These
beasts have brass chains around their
necks. They are tattooed on their fore
heads and cars in the patterns OF cash
mere shawl, and when taken out for the
ia iah they are covered with fancy trap
pings and have brass chains around their
necks.
During my stay in Jeypore l have had
a ride on one Of these royal beasts. At
the invitation OF the secretary of his high
ness ] travelled by one to the ruined city
of Amber which is situated in the hills
about four miles outside Jeypore. The ele-
phant was brought to me shortly before
noon. At the command OF its Htndoo
driver who sat upon its head, it kneeled
down for me- and / climbed to its back by
a stepladder. There was cushioned SAD
die on TOP. with bars at the Side and the
driver showed me how to hold on While
the beast climbed to its feet. The elephant
raised itself upon one leg at time ana !
bobbed back and forth like ship III

and that. and 1 became half seasick as we
wound our way up the mountains In front
OF me was the driver with his brown legs
clasped over the elephants neck just back
of the big Tapping ears. He had sharp
steel hook in his hand and with this no
stirred up the great beast and now ana
then made him trot.
After a time / got used 70 the motion,
and when we were out in the country

for every now and then something made tie
beast shy. Al one place a monkey ran
across the road and a long-tailed ape
Jumped through the branches just over
our heads whereupon the elephant swerved
and almost threw me out OF my scat. At
other places we saw wild peacociIs, and
among the trees wild hogs were feeding.
BY and by we came to the ruined city
OF Amber. which generation or so ago
was the capital Of the stale OF Jeyp0r&
