OiUcial Paper of Connty. Railroads and Postal Expenses. Ia a recent article Prof. Frame Par sons gives the amount paid to rail roads by several European govern ments for carrying the mails, and com pares them with the sum P#d by the United States for the same service. The figures are very interesting at -this time, when it is proposed to re duce the expenses of the postal de partment by restricting the amount of reading matter passing through the mallsMnstead of reduoing the unrea sonable remuneration given to rail roads for carrying the mails. Prof. Parsons says: 'The United States pays railroads, for oarrying mail, about $37,000,000, rental of mail cars included. In France the railroads, in return for their grants of right of way, carry mails free. If the government uses a postal car of its own the road receives about a cent a mile for hauling it. In Switzerland the roads receive nothing their concession from the government provides that the railroad company shall carry the mails free. Ih Germany the railroads carry one mail car to atrainfree. Where second or more cars arc needed the govern ment pays, if a government car, 5 pfennig per axle per kilometer, or 10 pfenning if the car belongs to the rail road company. This amounts to from 8 to 12 cents a car per mile, represent ing barely the cost of hauling the cars. In Austria the same regulations pre vail as in Germany, except that the hauling of extra cars averages from 10 to 15 cents per mile. Italy pays nothing to the railroads for carrying the mails, as it is provid' ed in the concession made to transpor tation companies that the government mails must be .carried free. Belgium's laws are similar to those of Italy. In this country railroads receive one-third of the entire money expend ed to run the postal department. It seems that instead of railroad companies here doing something for the government, which makes their property valuable through rich con cessions, they tax the government to the very highest figure they bilieve the public will stand." This is, among many other indica tions that might be named, another benefit the people would enjoy if their representatives in congress had more and the railroads less to say about running the government.—Farm, Stock and.Jt&roe. In oqfmection with the above It is pertinent to say that the donations, toward the construction, of some of the roads that are thus robbing the people through exactions for carrying the mails, were more than the legiti mate cost of the roads. *i Barbarous Cruelty The U. S. senate committee on the Philippines is investigating the al leged infliction of the "water cure" on Filipinos by the American soldiery. On last Monday, Sergant Charles S. Riley, formerly of the 26th volunteer inrantry was put upon the witness stand by the committee and upon be ing asked if he had ever seen the so called water cure, he testified as fol lows: "Yes, it was on November 27,1900, at the town of Icbarras, whose presi dent was stripped to the walstand his hands tied behind him. Captain Glenn of the Eighteenth regulars stood be side him and there was a water tank on floor above. Asked if he had sent out runners to announce the arrival of American troops to the insurgents, the president refused to answer. "He was then placed under the water tank, and his mouth held open while the water was allowed to run. When he was filled, the water was forcedout of him by pressing the foot on his stomach or by hand. This was con tinued from 5 to 15 minutes. "After the President Intimated by signs that he was ready to speak, he was allowed to sit partly up. After giving the information he was allowed to dress and was taken down stairs where lis again refused bo answer an other question. "The second treatment was ordered by Captain Glenn,a syringe being used to force water into the President's throat. The syringe did not work well and another was secured, this time bsiog inserted In the man's nos trils while a handful of salt was thrown into the water. Dr. Lyons, the American surKeon, superintended the operation. The president soon gave up the information desired, that as the Americans came in at one end of the town he sent out runners to in form the insurgents. The town was burned that night." Witness said that the president did not seem to suffer much afterwards, appearing to be all right the next .day, though his eyes were bloodshot General. Miles Is Indorsed. ""Major Waller's testimony that he was Instructed to kill and burn in the Philippines—the more the better— pnd that the age limit was defined as "everything over 10" is horrible. This revelation is of special interest in an other line. A few days ago General Miles was publicly rebuked, insult-, ed and humiliated for casually saying that the war had been "conducted with marked severity." Secretary Root declared that it bad not. Are we to understand that Secretary Root knew nothing of these Waller orders? ^-Indianapolis ft&atluel pwpypiilOBa^ ,r&Xnv't&f-'X A Big Man's Ambition is the Lit tle Man's Gain In the olden days Mark Hanna made a reputation for fighting labor unions. The father of Czolgosz, the Anar chist, was one of a number of scab workmen imported to Cleveland to break up a strike against properties in which Mr. Hanna was interested. But things have changed, and Mr. Hanna now is no longer the working man's foe. On the contrary, he is the workingman's friend, his warm friend, his bosom friend, his best and only everlasting friend. When Mark Hanna hears of a strike in the North he rushes to the North and settles the strike. When he hears of a strike In the Strike in the South, he rushes South and does the same. He belongs to all the committees that want to lengthen wages and shorten hours. Mr. Hanna counts that day lost whoso low descending sun has failed to discover him hustling about as a friend of labor. There is nothing mysterious in Mr. Hanna's sudden change. He wants to be President of the United States, that's all. He knows that to be Presi dent of the United States a man must be supposed to be a firiend of othrr men. The microbe of ambition has made abode in Mr. Hanna's practical mind, and it is a different Mr. Hanna from now on. One man's ambition is anoth man's gain.—Chicago American. If the story of the capture by the Boers of 6,000 horses and mules bought by the British in the United States and just landed in South Afiica, is true, it should ease tttfe minds of the Anglo-hobbyists who are demanding that our government forbid British agents to buy such war supplies in this country. Probably the Boer leaders would file a countar-protest if they thought there was any danger of the United States forbidding the export of these useful animals as contraband of war, for it enables them to renew their mounts without any cost to the Boer treasury save a few catridges and occasionly a little blood-letting. Minneapolis Tribune. The ship subsidy bill, providing for the expenditure of unmeasured mil lions, is not likely to become a law at the present session of congress. The members of the lower house of con gres, and especially those from the prairie states of the West, do not want to be burdened at the approaching congressional election with the weight of such a great grab. If congress wants to help the country's merchant marine, it can do so without giving the people's money to ship builders. If congress would remove the tariff from all materials used in shipbuild ing, would not the people of this coun try be able to build ships and com pete with the merchant marine pf any other country on earth? Dispatches from Washington rep resent the President as still hostile toward Gen. Miles for his statement that the war in the Philippines has been conducted with marked severity. In view of the testimony recently taken on the conduct of the war in that unhappy country, the public will be inclined to blame General Miles for not characterizing it as barbarous,hor rible, brutal, savage, bloodtbursty and well calculated to make the vultuie more representative of this country than the eagle.—Manchester Dem. There ia more Catarrh is this section of the country than all other disease* put to gether, and until the last few years wai supposed to be incurable. For a great many years doctors pronounced it a local disease, and prescribed local remedies, and by con stantly failing to cure with local treatment, pronounced it incurable.

Chaffee is also instructed that if the facts are established aB testified to before the senate Philippine com mittee to court-martial the officers who administered the "water cure" to the presidente of Igbarras. These offi cers are Maj. Glenn, Lieut. Conger and Assistant Surgeon Lyon. Secretary Boot's cablegram continues: "It Is believed that the violations- of law and humanity of which these cases, If true, are examples will prove to be few and occa sional and not to characterize the conduct of the army generaUy in the Philippines, but the fact that any such acts of cruelty and barbarity appear to have been done Indicates the necessity of a most thorough, searching and exhausting Investigation Into the general charges preferred by Gov. Gardener, and you will spare no effort, In the Investigation already ordered under these charges, to uncover every sucb case which may have occurred and bring the offenders to justice. The president desires to know in tbe fullest and most circum stantial manner all the facts, nothing being concealed, and no man being for any reason favored or shielded. For the very reason that the president Intends to back up the army In the heartiest fashion In every law ful and legitimate method of doing Its work, he also Intends to see that the most rigorous care is exercised to detect and prevent any cruelty or brutality and that the men who are guilty thereof are pun ished. Great as the provocation has been in dealing with foes who habitually resort to treachery, murder and torture against our men, nothing can Justify, or will-be held to justify, the use of torture or In human conduct of any kind on the part of the American army." Cabinet Diacusses Water Care. Washington, April 16.—The cabinet Tuesday discussed the testimony be fore the senate committee on Phil ippines Monday in reference to the allegd case of torture in the' Philip pines. Secretary Root presented the original report of Col. Dickman upon the matter. The whole subject was gone over at considerable length. The president is determined to sift the matter to the bottom and it is possible that a court-martial will be ordered. ASPHYXIATED. Banlf Robbed.

Washington, April 16. Secretary Boot has cabled Gen. Chaffee at Manila to investigate the newspaper reports of the Waller trial and if they are cor rect to court-martial Gen. Smith. The press dispatches stated that upon the trial of Maj. Waller, of the marine oorps, testimony was given by Waller, corroborated by other witnesses, that Gen. Jacob H. Smith instructed him to kill and burn that the more he killed and burned the better pleased Gen. Bmith would be that it was- no time to take prisoners, and that when Maj. Waller asked Gen. Smith to define the age limit for killing, he replied: "Ev erything over ten." IHpiWfgB!! '1 HOPEFUL OF SUCCESS. Friends of Cuban Reciprocity Be lieve House Bill Will Pass. LATE DEVELOPMENTS FAVORABLE. --4 Amendmenta of m. Nature Considered by Them to Be Harmful Are Not Anticipated—Proceedings toVS In tbe Senate. RAISING THE BELGIAN HAIR. ^4 Vour Inmates of a New York Resi dence Inhale Fame* of Illumine sting Gas and Pi*, New York, April 16.—Four- persons were found dead Tuesday night in the living apartments of Esther Kohen, a widow living on Third avenue. They had been killed by inhaling the fumes of illuminating gas, and so far the police have given no opinion as to whether or not the deaths were the re sult of accident. The names of the dead are: Esther Kohen, aged 50 Hen ry Eohen, her son, aged 25 Lena Kohen, her daughter, aged 17 Edith Flow, a friend of the Kohens, aged 16. The tragedy evidently came Monday nig-hjb, for tbe Kohens and their visitor had not been seen all day. Henry was ifi the bicycle business and did not come to tbe store during the day. Tuesday evening his partner went to the house and was told by the occu pant of another apartment that an odor of gas had been noiticed all after noon. He broke in the door, and Hen ry was found dead lying on a lounge in the parlor, while the other three were in bed in another room. All the windows, fanlight and entrance doors had been tightly closed. Two unlight ed gas jets were turned on in the par lor where Henry lay. Washington, April 16.—With t&e close of the Cuban reciprocity debate in the house Tuesday the leaders an-' nounced that all danger of the bill: being weighted down with undesira--| ble amendments was over and that they felt assured the bill would pass in the shape in which it came from the committee. As the bill in its pres ent form is sure to command three fourths of the vote of each side of the house its passage was certain if it successfully passed the stage when amendments could be offered. The only cause of anxiety heretofore has been the possibility that enough re publicans would join with the demo crats to overrule the.chair and tack onto the bill an enactment to abol ish the differential on refined sugar. All the energies of the leaders have been directed, therefore, to bringing pressure to bear on the recalcitrant republicans to. induce them to refrain from aiding this plan, and Tuesday evening at the close of the session of the house it was announced that OKC r! tenI" the entire republican delegations from Michigan and California, who constitute the head and front of the opposition, had agreed not to vote to override the ruling of the chair. Mr. Watson (Ind.), who is acting as the whip for the majority, does not believe over a dozen repub licans at the outside will join the democrats on this proposition. It would require more than 20 repub lican votes to place on the bill the amendment which might endanger its ultimate passage, as several demo crats, it is understood, also have de clared their Intention to stand by the ruling of the chair. An unsuccessful effort was made again Tuesday by Mr. Payne to se cure an agreement to limit the gen eral debate.' When the house ad journed there remained 35 members who desired to speak. The debate was without particular interest. The speakers were Messrs. fiwanson (Va.) and White (Ky.) for the bill and Messrs. S. W. Smith (MicK.), Dayton (W. Va.), Burgess (Tex.), Meyer (La.) and Sutherland (Utah) against it. Senate. Washington, April 16.—The debate on the Chinese exclusion bill was prac tically concluded Tuesday and voting on the bill and amendments will begin at one o'clock to-day. By general con sent a vote was taken Tuesday on two important amendments offered by Senator_Fairbanks (Ind.), striking out jbhe definition as to Chinese students and teachers, and they were agreed to without division. These changes were made with a view to reconciling some of the opposition to the measure, which has been directed against thp rigid restrictions on students and teachers, and the unnecessary incon venience this would impose on the ed ucated Chinesf classes coming to this country. The debate was participated in by Senators Heitfeld (Idaho), Pen rose (Pa.) and Turner'(Wash.), in fa vor of th€ bill, and Senators Pritch ard (N. C.) and Spooner (Wis.) in oppo sition. Senator Turner made the as sertion that politics bad crept into the discussion and that most of the mem bers of the majority were opposed to the bill. This brought out a sharp re joinder from Senator Spooner, who maintained that politics had not ured in the discussion and that the op position to the present bill was due entirely to its* conflict with the treaty and not because of any opposition to Chinese exclusion, which was an es tablished doctrine of the government. Avree to Depew Amendment, Washington, April 16.—The senate committee on privileges and elections Tuesday by a majority of one voted to amend the house resolution pro viding for the election of senators by direct vote of the people, by adding the amendment offered by Senator Depew. The amendment is as follows: "The qualifications of citizens entitled to vote for United States senators and representatives in congress shall be uni form in all the states, and congress shall Jiave power to enforce this article by ap- ?he ropriate legislation and to provide for registration of citizens entitled to vote, the conduct of such elections and the eer ttflcatlon of the result." The committee voted down the Penrose amendment providing that senators shall be apportioned accord .JLI KglHWWpiB ?5 ing to the population or the several states. The vote on the Penrose amendment was unanimous. Senator Burrows voted with the democrats in opposition to t'hc Depew provision. Otherwise, the vote was strictly on partisan lines. The division was as follows: Ayes—Hoar, Pritchard, McComas, Foraker, Depew, Beveridgc. .and Dil lingham—7. Noes—Burrows, Pettus, Blackburn, Dubois, Bailey and Foster (la.)—6. There was a general discussion of the merits of the house resolution and when the committee adjourned it was with the understanding that a vote should be reached upon it as amended at the next regular meeting of the committee, which will be held on Tuesday of next week.
