CURIOUS BITS OF HISTORY
BY A. w. MACY.
A LIBERTY MARTYR

OF LONG AGO.
On June Z. 1881, Wat Tyler
was chosen leader by $4,000
men to demonstrate with Rich
ard II against the expressions
of the people. On June 15 he
was dead. In eight days this
man. of whose antecedents and
personality we know nothing,
made for himself a permanent
place in English history. Dur
ing that time he commanded a
great army; he confronted the
King as an equal; he ordered the
execution OF the two chief min
listers of the crown, and II was
done: he wrested from the King
a promise Of social reform. But
in the hour OF victory he was
struck down by the hand Of an
enemy, and the great uprising
failed In its undertaking. Yet
1t was not altogether In vain. 1t
stirred to life the desire for per-
sonal liberty in the laboring.
people, a desire that has grown
to giant proportions with the
passing years. This was the first
time that English peasants and
laborers asserted that they were
men. Centuries afterward some
OF the seed thus sown found its
way across the sea. and to-day
so,oo6.ooo free Americans owe a
debt OF gratitude to the memory
OF Wat Tyler and his men.

DISCRIMINATION CHARGED.
Purchasing Committee in Treasury
Department Is Under Fire.

The House Committee on Expenditures
in the Treasury Department decided yes
terday to investigate a complaint Of IA
voritism alleged to have been practiced
by the departmental committee which
awards the contracts for supplies for the
various offices of the government in
Washington. The question Of fire ex-
tinguishers occupied the attention Of the
committee at a hearing held yesterday
morning.
]. Robert Somerville, who asserted that
he was the Washington agent of a GER
tain brand of extinguisher manufactured
in Maine, told the committee that, de-
spite the fact that his firm was the lowest
bidder on a recently advertised contract,
and offered an extinguisher Of better
quality than others, 1t had been impossi-
BILE to obtain favorable consideration at
the hands Of the buying commission.
Mr.. Somerville was questioned at length
in regard to his experiences, and at the
close OF the hearing 1t was agreed that
members of the government purchasing
commission should be brought before the
committee at an early day to explain
their methods.

WANTS ANDERSON STATUE.
senator Burnham Introduces Bill
to Appropriate S5O,OOO.


A proposal to erect a statue in the city
Of Washington in honor of Gen. Robert
Anderson, Of civil war fame and the COM
piler OF well-known military textbooks,
is contained in a bill which was intro
duced yesterday by Senator Henry E.
Burnham, of New Hampshire. The sum
OF $4,000 is authorized for the erection
Of the memorial, the site and design for
which shall be chosen by the chairmen
of the Library committees of the Senate
and House, respectively, and the Secre-
tary Of War.
Gen. Anderson was one of the heroes
Of Fort Sumter, having been in COM
mand OF Charleston Harbor at the open
ing of the war. He was confined to Fort
Sumter for fifteen weeks by the Confed-
crates, and on April IA, 1861, after a bonn
bardment of thirty-six hours, he was
compelled to evacuate. He received his
brigadier's commission in May, 1851, and
was placed in command of the Depart
ment Of the Cumberland. He retired from
army service in 1853, and was subse-
quently brevetted major general.

A German War Ship at Haiti.

The departure of the German war
ship Bremen from Hampton Roads for
Haiti, as stated in The Washington Her
aid yesterday, confirms the recent cable
gram from Berlin to the effect that the
vessel has been directed to reach Haiti
as soon as possible. At the same time,
it would be interesting to know why
Germany manifests anxiety to have a
cruiser in Haitian waters. No other
nation has ordered a vessel there, and
the four or five ships of the American
navy offer reasonable assurance for the
protection of lives and property.
The United States cannot, of course.
protest against Germany's action as
long as no overt act is committed; but
if it be true, as reported, that German
bankers have made loans to the revo-
lutionists and have received promises of
a naval station, it behooves this gov
ernment to regard with watchful eye
the movements of the German force
1t IS not necessary to remark that the
Monroe doctrine is involved in this Hal
tian situation. Approaching the re-
sponsibility which this doctrine imposes
upon the United States, this government
has already taken steps to maintain or
der in Haiti. 1t does not need the
assistance and will not brook the inter-
ference of any European power.
Nor will this government, unless all
our history and traditions are to be
thrown to the winds. ever consent to
submit the principle of the Monroe doc
trine to arbitration.

And wonders what he meant
