AFTER WHITEMARSH
New Governor of a Philippine Province is Under Charges.
TO APPEAR BEFORE COMMISSION
Alleged That He Has Used Public Office For Private Gain at Expense of Natives—Other Manila News Items.
The United States Phillippine commission at Manila has ordered H. Phelps Whitmarsh, the governor of Benguet province, to Manila to submit to an investigation, owing to allegations that he had been using his position to his personal advantage, in acquiring land and mining rights from the natives. He is at present charged with Indiscretion and violation of his instructions. The commission particularly instructed Governor Whitmarsh to cultivate friendship and protect the interests of the ligarotes who suffered from Spanish extortions and exploitations.
Colonel Duval, of the Fourth regiment, which formerly occupied the provinces of Union and Benguet, and Dr. Kleffer, the regimental surgeon who was prominent in the civil administration of the provinces, complained of Governor Whitmarsh's methods of administering his office. The commission is inclined to attribute the feeling existing to military opposition to civilian authority in Benguet. Voluntary statements made by natives to Commissioner Worcester while on a visit to Benguet, formed the basis of the investigation. General Bell has forwarded similar allegations to Manila.
Two friars who were invited to Calastao, province of rangasinan, to celebrate a holiday, were mobbed. A native priest denounced the action of the people, whereupon the mob attacked the priest. The friars fled. The native papers have since inaugurated renewed attacks on the friars.
Generals Chaffee and Wade are at Batangas. The removal of the military headquarters in southern Luzon from Manila to Lipa, in Batangas province, is contemplated. Pardo de Tavera, who has been announced as a future member of the civil committee and General Caillies, the insurgent leader who recently surrendered in Laguna province, are going to that province in order to organize municipalities.
FATHER'S HORRIBLE DEED.
In Fit of Dementia He Cus Short the Lives of His Three Little Children. At Halifax, N. S., Monday three innocent lives were ended by the act of a crazy father, the crime being one of the most pitiable in Nova Scotia for many years. 'the father was Sydney Locke, a respected citizen and municipal councilor of Lockport. The dead children are Ruby, aged fourteen; Erminie, aged eight; Howard, aged eleven.
Locke rose at an early hour, and after partially dressing himself, went to the room where his three children were sleeping. He carried with him a 44-calibre revolver. Without a word he placed the muzzle of the revolver at the head of his oldest child and fired. The next instant he killed Erminle, his favorite child. Howard, who was in bed by himself, attempted to escape, but his father was on him in a moment, and the little fellow, too, went down. He was fatally wounded and died an nour afterwards. Sydney Locke was a loving father, but for months past he had been mentally unbalanced.
"SOONERS" ON THE GROUND.
Opening of Indian Lands May Be Attended With Much Trouble.
Judge Kirkpatrick, of Elreno, O. T., special allotting agent of the Klowa-Comanche Indian reservation, said Monday that Caddo county is full of "sooners," and that trouble is likely to occur, notwithstanding the county is to be opened by lottery and not by run. Two troops of cavalry, one each for Fort Reno and Fort Still, have been ordered to these posts.
ANXIOUS TO HARMONIZE.
Atlanta Striking Machinists Name Committee to Confer With Southern. An important step looking to harmonizing the differences which exist between the Southern railway on the one hand and the striking machinists on the other was taken Tuesday at a meeting in Atlanta, Ga. By unanimous action resolutions were passed by the machinists calling on the other lodges interested to appoint one representative each for the purpose of conferring with the Southern railway management, with a view to harmonizing the differences now existing.
GLOO9Y RACE RIOT RESULTED
Negroes at Ironton, O., Attack Whites With Knives and Clubs—Lynching Narrowly Averted.
At Fleetwood park, Ironton, O., late Thursday afternoon John and Albert Slaghter, white, were probably fatally stabbed by Luther Page and Abner Gwenc, colored, and Charles Martin and Tilley Slaghter were beaten with clubs. The trouble occurred over an attack on a small white boy by a negro. A riot followed. Finally the negroes were arrested and placed in the county jail.
After midnight an attempt was made to organize a mob and lynch the prisoners. A crowd gathered, but no one volunteered to lead the assault on the jail. If the attack had been made, a bloody battle undoubtedly would have occurred, as fifty armed negroes were on guard in and around the jail where their friends were imprisoned. Page and Owens were secretly arraigned Friday afternoon in the county jail. Arrangements were made to remove them to Portsmouth jail for safety immediately, as the authorities feared trouble Friday night.
The removal of the negroes averted a crisis. The two men were driven to a train in a closed carriage, guarded by Sheriff Dovel and Marshal Brice, and halted a square from the depot. Deputy Sheriff Paine and the police force waited at the station and formed a cordon about the prisoners as they were led to the train in irons. Not a dozen people were aware of the transfer before the train arrived and was gone.
DAWES TENDERS RESIGNATION
Comptroller of Currency Gives Up His Job to Enter Senatorial Race In Illinois.
Comptroller of the Currency Dawes has tendered his resignation to the president to take effect October 1st. Mr. Dawes resigned in order to enter the race for the senate this fall. His term of office would not have expired until January 1, 1903. Mr. Dawes' letter to the president is as follows:
"Washington, July 3, 1901.—William McKinley, Executive Mansion Washington, D.C.—Sir: In view of the fact that I will be a candidate for the United States senate from Illinois, I hereby tender my resignation as comptroller of the currency to take effect October next. Respectfully.
In answer to an inquiry, Mr. Dawes in explanation said:
"I have resigned because of my intention to be a candidate before the people of Illinois for the United States senate. It would not be possible for me during the next year to make a canvass for the senate and at the same time administer to my own satisfaction the important and responsible office I now hold. I am influenced solely in this action by what seems to me the plain proprieties of the situation."
FOUR FROM ONE GALLOWS.
At Vernon, Florida, a Quartet of Mur-
derers Pay Penalty of Crime.
At Vernon, Fl., Friday, four
negroes were hanged for murder. The
names of the negroes were Belton
Hamilton, John Simmons, Jim Harrison
and Will Williams.
Williams, Harrison and Hamilton
had been convicted of killing a helpless
negro and almost killing his wife.
During the trial Hamilton, on cross-examination, confessed saying:
"I'm guilty, before God I am guilty,
and I ought to be hanged until dead."
By his confession the others were
also convicted.
John Simmons had killed another
negro.
The tqwn of Vernon is without, rail-
road connection and long rides were
made by all classes of people. At least
2,500 were present.
The four negroes were made to ascend the gallows at one time, at 10:55 a. m., and after short statements from each, who claimed to be on the road to heaven, the trap was sprung and the four were plunged into space, remaining suspended for fifty minutes. Only one's neck was broken, the others having died from strangulation.
BRITONS[BUILD MORE SHIPS.
Program Includes Three Battleships,
Six Cruisers and Ten Destroyers.
In the house of commons at London, Friday, Arnold Forster, the secretary of the admiralty, announced that the year's program included three battle-ships of a new improved class, six cruisers of the Monmouth class and ten improved torpedo boat destroyers.
Four Workmen Fatally Injured. Four men were fatally and three others seriously injured by a gas explosion in pit No.1 of the series of shafts of the new waterworks at Torrence road, Cincinnati, Friday afternoon.
SAVANNAH. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 13.1901.
INSURGENTS BROUGHT TO BAY
One Thousand, Under Leadership of Bellarmino, Forced to Surrender By Sixth Cavalry.
A Manila special says: Saturday the forces of the insurgent leader, which have recently been operating around Donsol, province of Sorogon, were driven across the mountains by the Second infantry and finally captured by the Sixth cavalry. Bellarmino, with 1,000 men and 254 guns, surrendered to Colonel Wint at Abay, capital of the province of that name.
Later in the day the official announcement of the surrender of Bellarmino was made. According to this account Bellarmino, who has been operating in the province of Sorsogon, surrendered Thursday at Legaspl, on Albay bay, with thirty-two officers, 215 guns and 3,000 rounds of ammunition. The insurgent presidents of that section of the country and many Filippinos accompanied Bellarmino, who gave himself up to Colonel Wint, of the Sixth cavalry. In all, since June 1,081 insurgents have surrendered in that district. Colonel Wint's regiment came from China with General Chaffee. Before disembarking at Legaspl, Colonel Wint went to General Chaffee and asked the latter if he wished him to clean up that part of the country. General Chaffee replied:
"Yes, but I do not command until July 4th."
In three weeks Bellarmino was cornered in spite of the theories of many officers that cavalry could not be used in effective operations in such a country.
Former Filipino officers belonging to Malvar's command, report that fifty insurgents were killed and that many were wounded by the command of Lieutenant Manael during a recent two days' fight in the province of Batangas.
The Twentieth infantry has been ordered from northern Luzon to Batangas.
Civil Governor Taft and Military Governor Chaffee are working agreeably together. They are holding informal conferences and are arriving at mutual understandings, a state of affairs hitherto almost unknown.
The insurgent general, Callles, who surrendered at Santa Cruz, Laguna province, June 24th, and his friends have offered to negotiate with Malvar, the insurgent leader in southern Luzon, for the latter's surrender.
VON HOHENLOHE DEAD.
Noted German Diplomat and Friend of Americans Succumbs to Old Age.
Prince von Hohonlohe, formerly German imperial chancellor, died at Ragnitz, Switzerland, Friday.
Prince von Hohenlohe's death was generally unexpected in Berlin, as he left the city several weeks ago apparently in good health, although his increasing weakness was evident. The prince arrived at Ragnitz extremely exhausted. His death is attributed to the weakness of old age.
The officials of the United States embassy informed the correspondent of the Associated Press that the death of the former chancellor as much regretted because of his uniform kindness toward Americans and American interests.
Prince von Hohenlohe's attitude, through his chancellorship, was always fair and conciliatory in regard to German-American relations. Although he was an extensive real estate owner, he did not share the agrarian hostility toward the United States. It as certainly owing in a large measure to Prince von Hohenlohe's friendly spirit during several trying years that Germany's relations with the United States never departed from cordiality. He received many Americans and was always friendly to them.
SWEEPING INJUNCTION.
Manufacturing Firm of Cleveland Uses Court Against Strikers.
At Cleveland, O., Saturday Judge Stone, of the common pleas court, granted a temporary injunction to remain in force indefinitely against the striking machinists upon the application of the Cleveland Punce and Shear Company. Counsel for the machinists filed a notice of appeal. The decision is very broad and against nearly every contention made by the defendants.
CONGRESSMAN STOKES DEAD.
Represented Third South Carolina District—Illinois Wac of Long Duration, Dr. J. W. Stokes, congressman from the third South Carolina district, died Saturday at his home in Orangeburg, after a long illness.
At Washington the following committee of representatives as appointed to attend the funeral:

UNION IS NEVITABLE
United States and Cuba Cannot Long Remain. Separate.
SO DECLARES MAXIMO GOMEZ
Noted Cuban Leader Attendance, Banquet Given In His Honor at New York—Expresses His Sentiments Freely.
A New York dispatch says: A dinner was given at the Union League Club Saturday evening to General Maximo Gomez and General T. Estrada Palma.
The dinner was arranged on the spur of the moment, General Gomez intending to return to Cuba during the day and not deciding to remain over until morning, when he accepted the invitation, and the guests were summoned by telegraph.
The Cuban general was the hero of the occasion and was warmly received. He made a brief speech, whoh was interpreted by General Gonzales.
General Gomez said he was almost touched to tears by the remarkable reception he had received in the United States. He knew Cuba was in debt to the United States, but he never knew until he came here how deep that debt was—that it was not merely the obligation of one people to another, but of brother to brother. Every Cuban, born and bred, he said, lived and died with the idea of Cuba lure before him, with the hope of the people being free and relieved of the voke of opression.
Cuba and the United States, said the general, belonging together. It is only a question of gravitation when they will be one. But at present, after the great struggle in which hundreds of thousands of lives were sacrificed and when men returned to their homes only to find their wives and children starved to death in the restricted barriers in which Weyler held them under his policy of reconcentration, they felt that they must have Cuba libre. It is realized fully, he said, that Cuba cannot get along without the United States, but the Cubans do want to feel freedom.
General Gomez referred to General Palma as the hold-over president of Cuba, having been elected during the insurrection of 1868, and he pointed to his fellow Cuban as the first president of Cuba libre.
General Palma made a feeling reply, warming to the subject of Cuba libre, and speaking enthusiastically of the future of the Pearl of the Antilles.
After the dinner General Gomez said to the newspaper men that he wished to express his gratitude to the press of the United States and of the world for the great good they had done to the cause of Cuba libre. He said that when he came here years ago he was very sad, but that on this visit he was very happy and was glad to recognize how muca the American pebble had done for Cubans.
DEATH CLAIMS LORILLARD.
Well Known New York Millionaire
Surrenders to Grim Reaper.
Sunday afternoon Pierre Lorillard
died at the Fifth Avenue hotel, in New
York, where he was taken from the
Deutschland when that stcamer arrived
from Europe July 4th.
Pierre Lorillard was the eldest son
of Peter Lorillard, founder of the fortune which made the family name famous. He inherited much of the ability of his father and marked success attended the commercial enterprises which he planned and executed.
Various estimates have been made of the value of Mr. Lorillard's estate, and, while its exact value at the present time is not known, it is believed to be more than $25,000,000. As long ago as 1884 it was said to be from $15,000,000 to $20,000,000.
A special from Sloux Falls, S. D., says: Hon. A. B. Kltldge, ex-Republican national committeeman from South Dakota, will be appointed by Governor Herrod to fill the vacancy caused by the death of United States flenator James H. Kyle.
CHINESE WANT INDEMNITY.
Claimants Suffered Severely at Hands of "American Boxers" in Montana.
The Chinese government through Minister Wu Ting Fang has filed a claim for indemnity to the amount of a half million dollars on account of alleged outrageous treatment of Chinese at Butte, Mont., in 1886. There is a suggestion of boxer outrages reversed in the presentation of the case to the state department, the treatment inflicted upon the Chinese at Butte being claimed to have been cruel and oppressive. It is charged that some of them were killed, others lost their property and many of them were driven out. The claimants number several hundred.

MEASURE IS TOO RADICAL.
Conservative Cuban Delegates Defeat Proposed Electoral Law By Majority of One Vote.
A Havana special says: The Cuban constitutional convention Tuesday afternoon rejected the commission's project for the electoral law by a vote of 13 to 12.
The conservatives claimed that the law as proposed was too radical, inasmuch as it provides that there should be no interference with the elections by the central government, and because the last elections showed it to be impossible to conduct elections honestly without some restraining-powers. They pointed out that the provinces and municipalities were as yet unable to govern themselves, and contended that a free hand regarding elections would result in calamity to the country. In the opinion of the, conservatives, the first elections under the existing law and leave to the public the task of drawing up a suitable law later. Another objection was that party lines had not been clearly defined as yet, and that the law provides for political representation on the election boards, which, under existing conditions, would be a farce.
A new commission will be appointed at once. The conservatives claim a majority in favor of the plural vote, based on the Belgian law.
TRIP OF GEORGIA EDITORS.
Both State Associations Combine and Take In the Buffalo Exposition
Take in the Buffalo Exposition.
The Georgia Press Association and the Weekly Press Association left Atlanta Wednesday afternoon at 5:15 o'clock for Buffalo.
The party went in a body on three special Pullman cars. They will keep together, taking in the exposition, Niagara Falls and other points until the 15th, whex individual members will probably return separately.
The fact that the Georgia and the weekly editors combined this year makes the excursion an unusually large one.
The program for the trip is as follows:
Leave Atlanta 5:15 p. m., July 10th, via Southern railway.
Arrive Chattanooga 9 p. m., supper.
Arrive Cincinnati 8:20 a. m. Thursday, breakfast.
Arrive Cleveland 1:55 p. m. Thursday.
Saturday, July 13th, will be Georgia Day and appropriate exercises will be held.
Sunday will be spent as the members may wien. Many will go during the afternoon for a visit to Niagara Falls.
On Monday, July 15th, the members will visit the exposition or leave for New York or for Atlanta.
NEW EXPRESS COMPANY.
Charter is Issued By Georgia Secretary of State to Incorporators. Georgia is to have a new express company. A charter was issued at Atlanta Tuesday by Secretary of State Phil Cook to the Brunswick and Birmingham Express Company, with headquarters at Brunswick, Ga. The incorporators of the new company are those interested principally in the new Brunswick and Birmingham railroad, and it is presumed the new express company will begin its business on that line. The railroad is not yet completed, but work on it is progressing rapidly, and it is expected it will be finished within a few months.
But that the incorporators do not intend to confine the new express company to that road alone is clearly evident from the petition for charter. It asks for the right to do business in all of the states and territories of the United States, in Canada, Cuba, Porto Rico and all of the West Indies, in Mexico and Central America, and in all the states and countries both of North and South America. It may be a long time before the company spreads out to cover all of tails territory, but it has been given that privilege in its charter. The company begins with a comparatively small capital stock of $10,000, but is given the right to increase the amount to $250,000 at any time the directors see fit to take such a step.
SALARY IS INADEQUATE.
Consul Stowe Forced to Resign His Post in Cape Town, South Africa.
The resignation of James G. Stowe, United States consul general to Cape Town, has been received at the state department.
The resignation was based on the utter inadequacy of the salary of the post, as the $3,000 salary allowed, by congress won't defray the cost of maintaining a family in modest conditions at Cape Town. The United States consul general is the worst salaried consular officer at the Cape. Mr. Stowe was appointed from Kansas City, Mo.

RUSSIA IS PENITENE
Czar Offers to Amicably Settle Existing Tariff Muddle.
Secretary Gage Replies that Proposition Comes Too Late, as Matter Is Now In Hands
A Washington special says: Another important exchange has occurred between the Russian government and the United States relative to the tariff. The Russian minister of finance, M. De Witte, has proposed that Russia will vacate all of the additional duties levied on American goods since the imposition of the sugar differential if the United States will vacate its action on the sugar differential. To this Secretary Gage has replied that the offer of the Russian government cannot be accepted, as the question of the sugar differential is now in the hands of the court, thus precluding action by the executive branch.
The proposition of the Russian minister of finance was the result of Secretary Hay's note of about two weeks ago. In that note Mr. Hay pointed out that the action taken as to petroleum was not new, nor was it meant to have any connection with the previous action of the government on sugar. This appears to have confirmed Russian officials in their view that the petroleum order was only another step in the policy previously taken respecting sugar.
M. De Witt's response is not long, but is quite to the point. It makes no further issues as to the petroleum order. The chief attention is given to sugar and the specific offer is made to vacate immediately the increased duties which Russia has levied If the United States will vacate its action on sugar. This would amount to re-establishing the status quo which existed before the United States took its initial action relative to Russia. The Russian proposition was communicated to Secretary Gage, who responded promptly that as the sugar question is now before the courts it is not possible for him to avail himself of the Russian suggestions. Thus the matter stands.
The reductions which would have resulted under M. De Witt's tender are those affecting cast iron wares, manufactures of iron and steel, boiler work, tools for artists, factories and workshops, gas and water meters, motors and dynamos, sewing machines, portable engines, not including threathing machines, fire engines and other machinery of iron and steel, also white rosin, gallipot, brewers' pitch and bicycles.
OLD MAN'S BAD AIM.
Wounded Son-In-Law, Daughter and Her Baby Before Stopped with Lead.
News comes from Plant City, Fla.
that a fatal duel with shotguns was fought near that place Monday afternoon and that as a result Edward Franklin, a farmer, is dead and David Kinard. Franklin's son in law; Mrs. Kinard and their baby are seriously wounded.
Franklin, it is alleged, had employed a farm hand to do some plowing, for which he was to receive 700 strawberry plants. The work having been nished Franklin gave an order on Kinard for the plants, who refused to fill it. This was reported to Franklin, who immediately armed himself with a shotgun and went to the Kinard home. Arriving there he immediately opened fire, it is said, on his son in law, missing him, but striking and seriously wounding his daughter and grandchild. Kinard ran for his gun and returned the fire. Another volley was fired at each other, Franklin falling dead and Kinard being seriously wounded.
Evans Saves Five Millions
The report of the commissioner of pensions for the fiscal year just ended will show that the commissioner will turn back into the treasury $5,000,000 as unexpended balance of the amount appropriated to pensions. The total appropriation made by congress was $140,000,000.
STRIKERS HOLD UP TRAIN.
Non-Unionists Imported to Fill Vacancies Are Thrown Bodily From Coach. A special train having on board twelve non-union macnammists to take the places of the strikers in the Southern railway shops, was held up by a party of men at the entrance to the railroad'yard at Columbium, S. C., Friday morning and the passengers were thrown bodily from the train. The engineer was forced to stop when he saw the switch had been turned. There was only one coach attached to the engine. Both doors had been locked and all the windows were closed, but the front door was forced

BUCKINGHAM’S DYE (ehith’-s
Life of Luxuty For a Shovel.
Chicago officials have so. far been un-
able to-make up their minds just where
they ought to keep a shovel which orig-
inally cost about $2, but now represents
an outlay of about $44,000,000. It is
the shovel with which the first spadeful
of carth was dug in the construction of
the great drainage canal which takes the
waters of the Chicago River through
many States to the -Gulf of Mexico.
The shovel is to have a silver plate
fastened on the handle, with an inscrip-
tion somewhat as follows: “A $44,-
000,000-shovel, which opened the way
from Chicago to the Gulf of Mexicb.
Paid for by the people of Chicago, 1892-
1909.” The cost attached to the shovel
marks the total sum which will have
been expended by the sanitary district
when all the work upon the main chan-
nel and the Chicago River is completed.
‘The date, "1892-1900,". marks the open-
ing year of work and the final year in
which the water from Lake Michigan
was turned on.

PULLS TEETH WITH HIS FINGERS.
‘The Chinese Pinn For Superlor to the
Forceps, Says a Deutist.
Dr. Charles E. Coughlin, of Indian-
apolis, has discarded the forceps in
pulling teeth and has adopted the
primitive rules of the Chinese by using
nothing except his thumb and inex
finger for the*purpose. He believes
that the sight of the forceps constl-
tutes the harrowing part of tooth pull-
Ing and that many nervous persons are
almost as shocked at the sight of the
instrument as they would be if a
‘cocked revolver were presented at
thelr beads. He can take out the most
firmly-rooted double tooth In a few
seconds, and that without causing
pain, comparatively speaking.
“It is all done with the thumb and
forefinger of the right hand,” he sald
to-day, ‘and does nod require any
great strength, for it is not performed
by main force.
“In pulling a tooth by hand, It is
first worked around with a gentle mo-
tion and there Is absolutely no violent
wrenching or tugging. In a surpris-
ingly shert time the largest and most
firmly-rooted molar will show evi-
dences of being loosened. The motion
is then continued with increased press-
ure outward from the pivot of the
tooth, as it were, until It seems actu-
ally to come out' of its own accord. It
is brought out with a final circular
twist, rot more violent than the gentle
working which is required to loosen it,
and it fs all over before the patient re-
alizes that his tooth Is belng extracted.
“It 1s ridiculously easy when you
haye got the hang of it. ‘The tooth al-
ways comes out, and my patients tes-
tify that it is a comparatively painless
process, the movement of the tooth
being so gradual as not to produce any
shock even to the most nervous person.
"I learned the process from a Chi-
nese practitioner, It has been practiced
by the Chinese from time immemorial,
Our method seems as crude and as
barbarous to them as their seems antl-
quated to us,
“In many cases we are getting too
far awzy from nature with our compli-
cated apparatus and highly stientific
way of going at things, and I have
found that extracting teeth by hand is
not enly better for the patient, but
also for the practitioner, for a man of
sympathy must necessarily feel some
of the horror caused by the forceps in
an extremely nervous person, and just
to the extent that he is unnerved he is
| incompetent to perform his duty well.”

Wis Cause For Tears.
At a seance the other day, when the
lights had been turned low, the medi-
um was describing a tall, dark-eyed,
handsome spirit, with long mustache,
and hair parted carefully down tho
centre, that was hovering round 2
middle-aged but elderly Jooking man,
when he burst suddenly into tears;
heart-rending sobs shook his thin
frame.
“George, George,” he cried; “why,
oh, why, did you leave me to the mls-
ery of these past years?” :
“Then you knew him?’ asked the
medium.
*“Knew him?” murmured the down-
‘hearted man. “I saw chim dally’ for.

continued, “why did you die?’
“My good man,” pleaded the medi-

‘Though his loss to you must have been
a great one, you may yet mect anoth-

“No, no,” he erled, “His place is
