Mr, Lodge, MF. Hoar's colleague, sald he regarded the resolution as a reflec- ton on the Philippine committe, of which hd was chairman, and said his - committee was perfectly able to han- dle any Investigation which might be conducted. Mr. Carmack, democrat, agreed with him. , The alscussion was leading zapldly to an opening up of the whole Philip- pine question when it was agreed that the resolution should go over until ‘Wednesday. Mr. Mason, of Ilizois, made a speech In favor of reciprocity ‘with Cuba and discussed the protec- uve policy generally. “ "Mr. Hoar claimed that we ought to “have some rellable information regard- ing the war In the Philippines, which - he characterized as “a painful contro- sversy.” ** “We want to know who promiced the ‘Filipinos independence,” he insisted. | * “Some charge that Dewey did, and Dewey says they Me, ani the matter was allowed to stop.tliere.” “Who began the war which is going on?” he asked. “There are those who ‘wii tell us what happened on a cer- tain night when there was an attempt . to pass some of our pickets by some Filipinos and a scuflle and an outbreak, and an appeal to us by Aguinaldo to - stop hostilities, that they did not want war, and our answer was that the war swas golug on and could not now be stopped. ‘The serator from Wisconsin @ir, Spooner) had stated In the senate as Bis reason for not adopting some > things that wero proposed that we would be making assurances of pacific Intention to men with arms in. their hands fighting against the American flag, but the president had given to a military commander Jong before an or- der to proceed to reduce the people of the Philippines by military force to “submission: “General Otis sald that would bring on war and took the Iberty of sup- pressing it, and instead told the peo- ple they should have all the rights of " Uberty that belonged to the most favor- ed people on earth.” The original proc- Jamaticn had been sent by the presi- dent, but Is it not an act of war to or- der a military officer to use military f5rce to subject a people? “I do not know,of any one able to give a statement of the truth as to tho ditferences between Governor Taft and General Chaffee.

A Washington special says: The cabinet meeting Tuesday was devoted largely’ to the consideration of the ‘appointment of representatives of this country at the coronation of King Edward. At the conclusion of the meeting the‘following were announced by the secretary of state: Special ambassador—Whitelaw Reld, of New York, Representatives of the Unites States army—Genezal James H. Wilson, of Delaware. Representative of the United States navy—Captain Charles E. Clark, com, mander of the battle ship Oregon dur- Ing the Spanish-American war and now governor of the naval home at Philadelphia. ‘Thore are to be three secretaries, as follows: , J. P. Morgan, Jr., son of J. Plerpont Morgan, of New York; E. L. Bayliss, a barrister of New York, and ‘William Wetmore, son of Senator Wet more, of Rhode Island. - ‘The appointment of Captain Clark came in the nature of a surprise, as it was thought that Admiral Crownin- Shield, chief of the bureau of naviga- tlon, was slated for the place. Crown- inshield ts one of Admiral Schley’s bitterest foes and is belleved to be largely responsible for the attacks on the hero of’ Santiago. Clark, on the other hand, !s a warm friend of Schley and gave strong testimony for the ad- miral before the court of Inquiry. It is sald that the appointment of Clark is a rebuke to Crown{nshleld and *the clique which fought Schley. Some even go 50 far as to assert that it means that President Roosevelt will act favorably to Schley in reviewing the findings of the court of inquiry. However, that may be, one thing Is certain and that is that Crowninsbield ft a bitterly disappointed man. He wanted to go to Lontion and so did Ad- Sutant General Corbin, who 1s popular- ly supposed to head the anti-Miles ring in the army. Corbin is as deeply dls- appointed as Crowninshield. + MORE FILIPINOS SURRENDER. Rebels of Batangas Come In Uncondt tionally and are Released. A-Manila special says: The full surrender of the forces of Colonel Mar- Ssigan, who, with Major Cabrera aad a renegade priest named Castillo, gave themselves up unconditionally January I to General Bell, who Js conducting the campalgn against the Insurgents In Batangas province, occurred January 13 at Taal. . The Insurgents created a surprise by bringing In sixty more rifles than the authorities thought Marisigan could command In the district of Taal, which he controlled. The Filipinos who sur rendered includéd three colonels, one major, five captalns and twelve liew- tenants. They gave up 219 rifles and one cannon. All the insurgents who surrendered did s0 unconditionally. General Bell ordered the men to be re- leased. General Bell says the surrender pacl- fies for the time being all the eastern part of Babangas. ~ ACTION ANGERS STALLINGS, Postmaster at ‘Augusta, Ga, Says He Has Been Badly Treated, A Washington special says: There 4s fre in the eye of Postmaster Stall- inges-ofAugusta, Ga. and fight fs In “his heart. He was at the white house ‘Tuesday charging all sorts of bad faith on Postmaster General Smith in bring- Ing about the appointment of Colonel Smythe as his successor.

Stallings’ grievance against Post. master General Smith fs that when the latter asked for a lst of offices which vould explre before he went out of office, he included Augusta which does not expire until the 18th. This Is Stallings’ allegation.

NORTH AND WEST FALL BACK Is First Time In History That This Section of the Country Has Forged to the Front In . Popular Growth. The director of the census announc- ed Monday the percentage of incresso of population in different parts of the country, showing for the last decade & rapid decrease from the previow growth of population in thé west, a less marked, but decided decrease in the north and a slight increase in the south, For the first time in the his- tory of this country the population of the south has increased somewhat mére rapidly than that of the north. The east geographically 1s included in the term north, ‘The rate of the growth in the north, west and south Js far more nearly the same that ft has ever been. The official 2nnounce- ment divides the country as follows: ‘West—From thé Pacific to the east. ern boundary of Montana; Wyoming, Colorado and New Mexico; north and south, the respective ilne formed by the Potomac and Ohio rivers and the southern boundaries of Missourl and Kansas. 3 The percentage of increase from 1860 to +1880 was 61.9 in the north, 844 in the south and 185.6 in the west, while in the last twenty years, 1880 to. 1900, it was 48.7 in the north, 48.5 in the south, and 131.5 In the west Prior to the civil war the northern states nearly doubled in population with each twenty years, while Ip the southern states the Increase of popu- lation was onjy about twothirds as great. Slnce’1860 the rate of growth In both parts of the country has been much less. While the rate of growth in the north has decreased steadily, that In the south during the last twen- ty years has been slightly greater than durfag the twenty years from 1860 to 1850. During the last twénty years there has been no substantial @ifterence In the rate of growth of the two sections. The percentage of tnerease of growth of these regions during each of the last two ten-year periods, fol- lows: 1880-1890: North, 24.8; south, 20.1; west, 71.3. 18961900: North, 19; south, 224; west, 319. It the comparison {s limited to the states east of the Mississippt river, the result Is slightly differentf. It will show the {ncrease to be: 1859-169: North, 20.1; south, 16. 1890-1990: North, 19.9; south, 17.7. ‘When the trans-Mississipp! states are omitted, the rate of growth In the north is slightly greater than that In the south, but the present differenco between the two, sectlons~In this re- spect is about on¢-half what It was’be tween 3860 and 1850 and less than one- seventh of what Is was between 1850 and 1860. ‘The frontier, as a large area of rap- 1d but Intermittent growth, is no long- er an important factor in the progress of American population, and the rate of grawth in the several great areas of the United States Js now nearly the mana WERE HIGHLY: “RECOMMENDED.” Rathbone Testifiedde to Appointments of Neely tind Reeves. ‘The hearing of the ‘charges growing out of the Cuban postoffice frauds were resumed in Havana Monday af. ternoon, E.

Unique Proposition to Place Southern “Veteraris ‘in, Union Horioe Not: Approved. ‘The house of repregentatives spent the day Monday in general discussion of the pension appropriation bill, the first of the annual budgets, The de Date took a wide range. ‘Mr. Grosvenor, of Ohio, and Mr, Hép. burn, of Iowa, took occasion ‘to, de- nounce a report presented to the Tast Grand Army of the Republic encamp ment criticising the course of them- selves and other members of congress on the veteran “preference” bill whicli was defeated at the last seston, They explained that thelr opposition to the Bill was due to the incorporation in the bill cf a clause which had not been indorsed by the Grand Army of the Re public, placing veterans of the Spantsi war In the preferential clacs. Mr. Rixey, of Virginia, caused some thing ofa stir on the democratic side by advancing a proposition to open the doors cf national soléters’ homes to ex confederates and to furnish federal ald to state confederate homes. Mr. Rich ardson, of Alabama, was the only dem crit who joined Mr. Rixey In‘support 6t It. Mr. Barney, of Wisconsin, in charge of the bill, sald the estimate for the Payment of pensfons had decreased frora $14,000,000 to- $198,500,000. He ‘wes asked by Mr. Richardson, of Ten nessee why the amount for pension’ decreased $5,600,000 while the number of pensioners was sald to be larger. Mr. Barney explained that this was accounted for by the fact that the ar rearages were decreasing and the num: ber of large pensions (those from $50 to $75 a month) was alzo decreasing, In reply to another quest!on, he stated that the commissioner of pensions be Meved that the filgh tide of pension payments had been reached and the amount required probably would re ‘main stationary for some years.

TRIAL REVEALS» BOLD : SCHEME On the Stand Reeves Swears that Trio Bext the Government By Burning Stamps and Ail Got a Draw Down, A special from Havana says: At the opentig of Saturday's hearing of the charges arising from the Cuban Dostofficy frauds, the government asked fcr a further examination of W. H. Reeves. He submitted several let- ters trom Charles F, W. Neely, the government's purpose being to show the Intimacy which existed between Neely and Reeves. In reply to a question of the court, Reeves sald hedid not get-any por- tion of the $15,000 from the stamp burning incident. Reeves eaid Neely told him he had given It all to Rath- bone, The cross-examination of Reeves by Moya and Mascaros, attorneys, did not bring owt any new evidence, When’ cross-examined by Rath- Done’s attorney, Reeves said he was appointed by Perry S. Heath, the first assistant postmaster general, The contention of the government ‘sige to prove the intimacy between Reeves, Rathbone and Neely by intro- ducing correspondence between them brought out a letter from Rathbone to Reeves which the government had in its possession, but failed to Intro- duce Friday. Rathbone’s counsel de- clared that the letter itself shows that Rathbone was not desirous of con cealing the fraud. The letter was written while Reeves was Ill in Florida, in February, 1900, Rathbone wrote that Colonel Burton's examination of Reeves’ books had dis- closed a discrepancy of $500. Colonel Burton thought that the error lay with the bank and suggested that the matter be left open until the next in- vestigation, but Rathbone insisted jupon finding the discrepancy and then waiting until Reeves returned to explain. Reeves admitted having re- wceived the letter and said he thought /it was an honest expression from Rathbone. Z ay * To Fool the Government, | Reeves further safd that after his arrest Rathbone suggested that all three get together and they cautd fool the government. He sald that as au- | ditor he bad authority to alfow cer- tain claims without vouchers when the accounts were approved by Rath- bone. The defenee contends that the law forbids this. Reeves declared that no orders had been Issued to audit | the monthly accounts of the postmas- ter of the Island. \He did not recog: nize the alleged order shown by the | defense and he sald that it never was posted on the postoflice building board, as other orders were. Neely's counsel sharply cross-exam- {ned the witness. Reeves recalled the stamp burning and sald that tho | packages were sealed, though he was not sure whether“ with the Washing- Jton seal or anotiier. He took down the amounts marked on the outside, | and the number, he ‘sotd, correspond- eq with the scapuste which it was re- ported were destroyed—$2i0,000. He kuew, he sald, that fraud was Intend- ed, but he did not exactly know how it was to be committed. The court bas allawed Rathbone’s lawyer to send to the Philippines for a deposition by Abraham L.

W..Neo- ly, W. H. Reeves, one of the defend- ants, was again called to tho stand and testified regarding the stamp burn- ing Incident. He sald the stamps Were not counted and that Neely told him Estes G. Rathbone acquiesced in the whole matter, ” ‘The government has finished the ex- amination of Reeves and he will next be cross-examined by counsel for Nee- ly and Rathbone. It was evident fhroughout Reeves’ testimony that the charge against all the defendaits ts based on Reeves’ statements, for the fiscal conducted his examination by questions from a typewritten copy of the accusation, and Reeves’ testimony substantfated the conclusions drawn tn the accusation, ‘ Reeves sald that Rathbone bad ap- pointed him cblef postal accountant, Dut that he had originally been ap- polnted to this position from Washing- ton, He said that he had a conversa- tion with Neely about the destruction of tho stamps; that Neely told him Rathbone was willing to do business, and that the stamps had been burned at the suggestion of Neely. ‘Marfleld did not know of the intend- ed fraud. He figured up the amount of the value and marked each package of stamps, amounting to a total of $310,000. Reeves testified that Neely made up a declaration and that sone days afterwards he, Neely, and Bfar- field signed {t. Rathbone, he said, or- dered him to credit the amount on the tooks. Here Senor Lanuza called at- tention to Reeves’ statoment,in Assist- ant Postmaster Bristow's report that Reeves did not know fraud had been committeed when he had made thé credit Im the books. Reeves refused to recognize the printed statements as his. Reeves safd that before burning the large surcharged stamps, amount- ing to $82,000, Neely:told him that the amount credited for the first burning was wrong and that there was $15,000 to bo divided up between him, Neely and Rathbone. Reeves testified that Neely told him that Rathbone had paid off a mortgage in Cincinnat! with this money. Shortly after this Reeves sald ‘that Rathbone, in referring to the burning of the stamps, sala that it was an easy way to make money. He said that Neoly told him that Rathbone would be civil governor. of Cuba, and that thes. would benefit thereby, because Neely would.bo treasurer of the island and Reeves auditor. Reeves also tes: tiled that Neely iad credited $12,000 In bis own department in changing ac- counts to the Northern Trust Company and that he (Neely) bad appropriated this ‘amount. Regarding Rathbone’s trip to the Unjted States in October, 1839, Reeves sald that $1,500 had been drawn for expenses and that Rathbone returned him $673.

Tho Fantastlo Rulno of Hia Castle “Stltl In Brittany. -7. Blue Beard has ‘existed jn, yeality. "To be sure, he had not married geven ‘wives, but had only ono wife and a, datighter, ‘whom he never threatened with violent death; still, the enorml- ties of which ho has’ beer guilty are not excelled by the crimes of‘our hero of the nursery. : ‘The original Blue Beard was Giles dé Layal, Lord of Retz, who was made ‘Marshal of France in 1492, and in the reigns of Charles VI and VII distin. guished himself by his courage against the English when they invaded France. He was born in the castle of BMache- coul, in Vendee, in’ 1404. In 1420, at tho age of sixteen, he married Cathe- rine do Thouars, a girl of the same age. A loyal patriot and valiant knight, he fought at the side of Jeanne d'Arc in all the battles against tho English, and until her death, re- mained her faithful companion in arms. Giles de Retz was the richest man in Brittany and one of the richest in France, He owned cities, villages and towns and castles in Brittany, in An- Jou and Vedee. His personal property was estimated at over $1,000,000, an immense amount in his time. But all this fortune was sacrificed to his pas- sion for art and‘ literature, muste and the stage. The services which he rendered his country might have {m- mortalized his name had he not for- ever blotted his glory by murders, im- pleties and debauchérles, to which he was led by his ambitlon to outdo princes and kings In magn{ficence, Fomp and power, In order to build up a new fortune he became an alchemist. He encour- aged and ma{atained sorcerers to dis- cover hidden treasures, and corrupted, young persons of both sexes that he might attach them to him, and after wards killed them for the sake of their blood for his charms and {acantatfons. ‘The children disappeared by hundreds in Brittany and Vendes. At length he was arrested and, being found gullty of numerous atrocities, vas sen- tenced, together with his two accom- plices, to be buried alive in a field at Nantes in 1440, Giles de Retz, who, at his conviction, was thirty-six years old, is described as a portly man of bigh stature and great muscular strength. His abund- ant, glossy hair was “blond”, his-eyes “blue,” his swallowtall shaped beard as well as his long eyelashes “black.” He was clad all in black. The reflec- tlons of this sombre costume mingled with those of his ght hair, and mede his beard appearoof a bluishblack color, Hence his surname Blue Beard, by which he fs known even today 4m all those parts of Brittany, Anjou and Vendee, where the fantastic ruins ‘of his castles are stilf in existence. ‘THE MAIN POINT. “What do you consider the first prin- cipies’ of success?” 2 “Well, sir, it’s not altogether the aoility to take money away from other people, as it is to hold on to {t—Detrolt Free Press.
