Charles X. Hnml»lln Continue* on
tbe Stand.
In the criminal libel case of the state gainst
"W. B Ha-skell, manager of the Times, Char.ea
N. Hamblin was still on the stand Tor cross
examination yesterday. Mr. Jackson Inquiring
as to the memory of the witness regarding the
trip to Chicago and West Pullman, the <iu<s
tiontr went into the very minutest details of
the trip and asked the witntss about them. |
but his memory as to minutes was not good.
The witness thought thai -Mr. Foster was
not at Wist Pullman, but Mr. Kneeland was. '
Alter returning to Chicago he could m>t say ■
where the r«rty went. The object of the ;
questioning appeared to be to asn-rrain how
long the party was in West Pullman. The
questions appeared on the surface to be rather
immaterial, and very wearisome to the listen
ers and the Jury. A telegram was finally
found, showing that there was an appoint- j
ment to meet in Chicago . \nday. Mr. .la k-
Bon thought that if they went to West Pull
man Sunday, that might account for the fac- j
tones being closed.
Mr. Fiannr-ry objected to the side talk made |
to tho jury in the last remark, and Mr. Jack
son replied to the. court that he did not '-on- |
sent to Mr. Flannery appearing for the state. '
He had noi objected to Judge Delden. but he
would net have Mr. Flannery. Judge BeUen
explained that he was 111. and would have
to leave the case and go to his home, there
fore he urged that Mr. Flannery be allowi.-d to
take his place. The court was asked to allow .
Mr. Flannery to sit in the case und< r a.;
pointment Judge Flannery was appointed by :
urt who urgtd that there be no fric
tion.
Mr. Jackson followed up the actions of the
committee close-ly, for the purpose^ of ascer
taining when tht rebonding j-lan proposttf by
Mr. Hamblin v.-as dropped. The testlmonv led
up to the- met ting at Chicago, in which Foster
was pr^s.-nt. wh«n the- first suggestion of a
sale of the bounds was made, the witness
thought by Foster. There was some remark,
however, in Boston, before the Chicago n>■••t
ing. in refrence to a sale of the bonds. There
was no development, however, and no price j
was 0
The neon recess was taken at this time.
In the aft-'rr.oon Mr. Jackson questioned the
relatlv* to the plan under whl-.-h the
b<»n<ls were scld, and aske-d hl:n if all cred
itors were allowed the one-tenth interest, the
same as the Minneapolis Trust company,
which was replied to in the affirmative. The
attorney read from the printed proposition ,
and succeeded in getting everybody pretty !
well mixed up aa to what it was.
"r. Jackson produced an account from a
Bt. Johnsburg bank of VIOOO and a letter of
Inquiry regarding the-ir claim. He then show
ed Mr. Hamblln's reply to this letter, which I
showed that the bank had been informed that ;
the-re would be a dividend on the Menage col
lateral, and also that circulars had been maJl- :
ed which would so»3n reach their destination
and give information as to what was contem
; iatnl. A long letter from Mr. Hamblin to
Foster, was read, showing that there was
some trouble anticipated with the Northern
Trust company, trustee for certain Interests,
which claimed that they were entitled to ?2 ''
p#r lot fur releasing the We-st Pullman lots.
Witness was asked the amount that should j
have been on hand May 8. 1594, and gave
the amount as $2i>.024.09. At the same d-ato
there was $18,551.50 in the Nicol'et National
bank. Mr. Jackson then made the claim that |
tht- amount was therefore several thousands j
short. Mr. Flannery claimed that the idea !
was a wrong one. because all that was re
quired was that the trust company had the '
funds.
"Well, don't you think that this money j
should have been there?" asked Mr. Jackson
of the witness.
"If the witness Is to decide that," laugiied !
Mr. Fiannery. "I womld like to be heard."
The court ruled the question out, and Mr. j
Jackson showed that the same de.y the com- I
pany had drawn a check against that fund of
$10,777.79 to pay for some receiver's certifi
cates in the Gellatin Electric company for the
benefit of the general estate. Mr. Jackson j
wanted to show that the company had credited '
Itself with interest on that amount, but the ,
proper bocks were not in court.
Court adjourned until 10'elock this morn-
Ing.

NO OLD MAIDS IX GREECE.
In Greece it Is considered an everlast
ing disgrace to remain an old maid, j
Girls are betrothed very often when
etill tiny babies. Marriages of love are
absolutely unknown — even more so
than in France. And the father is most
particular that the intended husband
mi:st have an ampie provision to sup
port a wife and family. For the girl
a dowry is not so important as In
France, but a certain amount of linen
and household furniture is generally
required. The whole training and edu
cation of a Greek girl Is simply a pre
paration to render her briliiant in the
society of the gTeat world. Her toilet
Is a subject of constant anxiety. Al
though most Greek girls are naturally
vry pretty, they begin to paint and
powder from a very early age — cheeks
bright red, eyebrows and lashes deep
est biack, and veins delicate blue. The
result is she is a withered old woman
at forty, and nowhere are uglier women
to be found than beneath the blue skies
of lovely Greece. Next in importance
to beauty come languages. Every
Greek family who can afford it keeps
a French nurse or maid, and French
Is universally spoken in society. Paint-
Ing and music are quite necessary, but
grirls are carefully trained in dancing,
and drilled to enter a room and sit
down with elegance. Lrastly, house
hold duties are taught — how to make
rose jam, Turkish coffee, and vari- .
ous delicate sweetmeats similar to
what we call Turkish delight — Boston

Supported Him
The Democratic state, congressional,
I county and precinct committees met in
: executive session at Century hf^l at 11
o'clock yesterday morning. About 200
delegates from various parts of the
state were present, and, although the
meeting was announced of an executive
nature, the doors were open and the
common herd flocked in until th? hall
I was filled. C. F. Macdonald, of St.
Cloud, was chosen chairman, and C.
Amundson, of Stillwater, was elected |
'. secretary.
Chairman Rosing, of the state Demo
cratic central committee, made a state
ment in which he announced that the
Democratic organization of the state
! had been without funds; that it had
! not been perfected until recently, and
that he had spent nearly $200 of his
own money in maintaining it. He re
quested a reimbursement of the |
amount. No sooner had he stated his
shortage than a storm of coin rained
dewn on the stage. Men threw dollars,
half dollars, quarters and small change
until those on the stage were com
pelled to seek refuge back of the
scenes. The curtain was punctured, ;
electric globes were broken, and, after
the storm ceased, it was found that
the purse strings had loosened for
$80.82.
Chairman Rosing road a letter from
Gen. J. K. Jones, of Arkansas, in
which Mr. Jones said:
Hon. L. A. Rosing, W^st Hotel, Minr;>
— Dear Sir: I have hu[ •■■. ;l up to thf U.sr im
nient that I would be ah!e to attend the meft
iug of I-iorru rats in M innf apolis. Duties to
the party, however. m«ke it Imperative that
I renixln a.t my p.ist and forego thit pleas
ure. I cannot toll you how greatly disap
pointed I am in not being able to meet our
frlend.s on the 11th. but it is my rule to forego
a pleasure at any time tar the j -ir, os< i f
performing a duty In the great cause in which :
we are all eng-aged.
I sincerely hepe that you may have a s-len
dld meeting, and that the Democrats of Min
nesota may return to th^r homes as fu'l of
fight and hope as the justice and magnitude
of the cause deserves. A large majority ol
the American people are tcd^y opposed to the
recently promulgated policy of the Reublican
party to commit the country mire thoroughly
to the gold standard, to retire greenbacks, to
issue gold bends, and to increase the power,
privileges and profits cf the national b^nks.
There- is but cne way for the gold men to
l>pat us, and that is for us to b3 divided either
by the manhiniitions of the gold mm. or by
our own obstinacy:. It is of the greatest im
portance, therefore, in this struggle, that our
people everywhere manlf«^:t the greatest for
bearance towards these agreeing with them
on the main issues, and who do not agree wih
them faj details. V>'htn the magnitude of the
Interests involved are fully considered, I have
no doubt that our people wi-1 rit^n.l t >g;-thPr.
solid as a stone wall in defense of the rischt.
The most cheering n ws from the diff rent
6ootio>£ of the Union i^mt.s to run. Numbers
of Democrats who wen persuaded to abandon
the party a year a^o. are back in l:ne uncon
ditionally, with the determination to stand for
all time with the party. We arc making ac
cessions (tally from thrse who have befn here
tofore politically arainst us, and I feel sure
that by temperate action on the ra..-t of I) m
ocrats. silver Repubtfc&ns and PcpuTsis an
overwhelming victory will be easily accom
plished at the election next November.
Regretting more than I can tell you' my in
ability to be with you. r rejoice at the prsa- ;
ence of Mr. Rryan, who will a long way
more than cemptnsati frr any disappont- i
ment you may feel on account of my absence
though my own disappointment will have no
such comr<"nsatir>n.
Bidding tho Democracy of Minnesota god
speed, with the most confidence relying on
their patriotism. I a.m sincerely your,
—James K. Jones.
Acommittee on resolutions was
appointed by the chairman as follows-
J. J. Thornton, St. James; Charles
D"Autromont, Duluth; L. M Rand

THE AFTERNOON SESSION.
At 2 o'clock Mr. Bryan was Intro
duced to a large audience by Chairman
Macdonald, ar.d delivered a speech, in ;
which he said in part:
I cannot but note, gentlemen, the progress
that has been made by the cause in which
you are enlisted, and for which you are pre
paring to do such excellent work I can re I
member that it is only a short time ago !
less than two years, that there was in the '
Democratic party such a contest as was n^vtr '
witnessed before In any party in the United I
States. It was not a contest over men but a i
contest over a principle. If you will remonj '
ber that In 1596. when tho Republican con- I
ventions were being held, the newsrapei-s j
reported so many votes from a certain st-to
tor McKlnley, so many for Reed, so many j
for Alger, it was a contest between the fac- '
tions of the Republican party, who were wag
mg their fight In behelf of some man for the !
candidacy, but when you read of the corven- '
tions being held by the Democrats, the in- !
fluences were "for silver or against silver." i
It was a principle, not a man. Men were lost i
! sight, of in that contest, and that convention '
I which met at Chicago in July, ]*9«. was the ;
most democratic convention that was ever
held in the United States. (Applause.) It '
was a convention which more clearly more
plainly and more emphatically reflected th»
sentiment of the members of the party upon i
a great question than any other convention I
ever held in the United States. We began
our fight In the primaries. A man could not j
go as a delegate from a precinct to his county I
convention until he had stated his position :
on that subject. He could not go from the
county to the state convention until he had
stated his position on the money question.
He could not go as a delegate from the state
to the national convention until the people
knew where he stood. Not only that but
lest there should be some Judas among the
twelve, when they selected their dele-gates
they, as a rule. Instructed them how to vote
on the money question, and they were bound
by the unit rule. So that that convention
when It assembled in Chicago, assembled
there not to duscuss and to plan a platform
but to write the platform which the people
had already written In their primaries. (Ap
plausei. It was a triumph of the rank and
file of the party. The platform was written;
a platform which met with as much abuse
as any platform ever adopted In this coun
try, and Is one of the best platforms ever
written, and more popular today than ever
before. (Applause.) "vVhat was the result of
that convention? Those who had been re
ceiving the honors and emoluments at the
hand? of the Democratic party were con
spicuous among those who went out from
that convention and organized a party known
as ''The National Democratic Party." I have
never understood why they took the word
"national," unles it was that they did not
expect to carry a county In the nation. (Ap
plause.) I suppose they selected the word
national for the same reason that they se
lected the word Democratic, because it was
the most undemocratic party ever organized,
and for that reason they called themselves
Democratic, and it was so local that they
called themselves national. They went out,
and, instead of fighting an open, honest!
manly fight, they resorted to tactics which
were new in American politics. I presume
that no party ever before nominated a ticket
for the purpose of not having it voted for,
and I don't suppose any tickot ever ran be
fore where the men were anxious not to re
ceive any votes. Men made speeches urging
their fellows to support the National Demo
cratic ticket when they themselves had nev
er contemplated voting for the ticket that
they spoke for. They went through the cam
naign, and claimed that they were better
Democrats than those who had a majority In
the national convention. TThen the time came
round to celebrate Jacks»n day in several

places, these men held banquets to revere
the name and memory of Andrew Jackson,
while they strove to undo all that Jackson
tried to accomplish while he lived. We cele
brated Jackson's day last Saturday, but so
far as I have learned there was not a single
instance In which the gold Democrats tried
to celebrate Jackson's day this year. Only a
year since they tried to claim they were the
only true Democrats in the United States.
(Applause.)
The Republican party today has thre^
planks in its platform— the foreign control of
our primary mc-ney; national bank control
jof our credit money, and trus l : ontrol of
the taxing power of the United Stats. These
are the real articles of the creed which w;
have to meet. It is only recently that its
purpose has been avowed; only since the
last election have the people seen it in all
its hideousness. In the last campaign the
Republican party pledged itself to do what
h could to get rid of the gold standard, and
substitute internatiopal bimetallism, but n>w
the secretary at the treasury openly ttaus
that his plan is to more thoroughly c;mm!t
the United States to the policy which the
I Republican party helped the cation to get
| rid of. (Applause.! We sent our comml-sln
abroad. After visiting se>e-al other coun ries,
I it landed in England, and the news came
. back to us that there was great confidence
I that an international conference wou'd be
se ured. On the i2d day r f Sept-mber a mcc -
ing was held in the clearing house ,n LTidoa,
attended by the representatives cf all the
leading bankers of that city. They mot
behind closed doors and pledged themselves
to secrecy, and adopted a resolution unani
mously protesting against any concession to
bimetallism. The English government, in a
short time, announced its deeLivn In harmony
with the decision made behind cosed d\>.rs,
and the w:rk of our commission was a fa;l
ure. They may tell you that the commis
sion is net yet through its work; they may
delay the final announcement of the failure, j
but, my friends, there is only cne t''.!ng ;
that will ever revive thar commUsiim. If
the silver sentiment grows so strcng in th's
country as to scare these people, and m?ke ;
them sure that something mist be do-re, they
nxay retrace their steps and hold out just :
enough cf promise to fool the people ior j
another four years. (A;-plau-:e ) At ores nt .
there U no prcspeo: of i-.t mi i^nal bimetal- I
lism: not because our peoyle a.re opposed to ;
it; our people want bimetal. ism; not b - :
cause the people of other countries are cp- l
posed to bimetallism. They are as much
interested a.« we are. There is no chance fcr ;
blmi'LaKlsm by international agreement be- :
cause a h-and.'ul of English financiers have
deeded that it w>uld not be gooa fOT th ; m ;
for us to have bimetallism. I do not ex- I
aggerate the condition. I point them out. I
say to you thc-re has never beeu a d»ng?r i
menacing this country equal to the danger i
that comes from the handful of Engl'sh
financiers who seek to control the Ameri- i
can people. (Applaure )
Now, my friends, th(se are the cond tions >
which aie conlronting us. Never u.t 1 this j
time has there teen an opn and declare:) a - '
tempt tc- mtke the g:ld standard permanent i
in the United States. Never un- il this time I
has there been an open and de.-lared a tempt
to take the government out of the business
of issuing paper money; never before a.i
open and declared at en.p-. to gvc to nt.rn-1 j
bankers the control of 'Jha volume cf our 1
paper money; never in our generation i.o '
obvious an intent!' -a to ailjw the trus s and |
combinations to handle the :axing power tor I
their own good rather than for the g <d of |
tho rest of the people. You are orgai.l:ed
to meet these things.
Our opponents will be vrry bu*y from ro-*
on trying to prevent co-operation between tha j
opponents cf the Republican id -as. If they
werp sure they rcuJd wliip us t'g'ther, they
would not be so anxiius to defeat us. One
of the great occupations of the newspapers ;
oppose our ideas will be to crea'e
d s-pnsiivns between tho c who, 1 they d not
agree on all things, ar.-> agreed on those
th.ngs which are Immediately in front <f n*.
I hive en varirus ocist-ns expressed my
appreciation of the derofoa of th'^e wh>
in other pani-s Joined leat year in trying to !
secure an American fmaniil system for th;
American people. I speak of it now. be
cause, my friends, those cf us who cill our
selves Democrats, and who stand upon the
Oblc&go platfi rrn. and r.v.o have alvo-ra'ei
those Democratic pr n.-i;.!es rr milgated by
Jefferson and defended by Jackion, f 11 .d
ourselves la-=t yeir weakened by d se.Mons
fro-m cur ranks, and a." that time, when we
were enfeebled by iho.-e who were 1 avn;
us. we found suprxirt fr;m the Silver KepuS
iiean.s and PopulisU, who. without ;ge in?
to all in our platfo'm, and who, without find
ing in cur platform all that they tt-ked, were
y*t willing to walk w:t ; i v- a pitt o' the way
while we secured those things upon whi-h
we did agree. I am not willing, cs our
cause prows, p.s cur prlrr l"!es reem to re
gathering to thrm mo-re and rac-rc ;n Force,
I am ivot willing to forget those who w re
onr dependence ar.d ou: help in the hr.ur of
djrkresa.
I am proud of the six and a holf miliiors
who marched unc>r the flig of s her. I may
b>> j»ar<lonod if I s>ay to you that I a-n
proud to remember that not one in all that
six ?.-A a half millions voted our ticket be
cause he was cornrelled to do it. Sis and a
hi If million. 1 ! of poorlo. liAporchasea, UTiintim- |
idatFd. voted w ; th" the:r hearts as vsrl 1 . a^ |
thflr lards. (Applause.) I would r.tther have j
gone down to d< fent with them than to have |
lived without the support of such people. I
want to ask you not only to be as diligent in
tho future a.s you have been in the la3t few
weeks; I want you to increase that diligence.
It is not necessary that you shall take much
time from your business. It is not necessnry
that you shall in season and out of season
nresent these principles to your neighbors.
It Is important that you shall be showing
thorn all the timo the logic of the position
which you have tzken. ard then it is neces
sary that you shr>!l enoourasre them in the
spirit of independence that will enable them
to stand up and vote for those principles in
wh : cta they believe. We had last year a ma
jority of the people of the United States who
actually believed that bimetallism would be
a good thing for this country, but we had too
many who were ret In a position to be inde
pendent in the expression of their ideas. I
can cite to you men who were so situated
that they could not sit vi on a olatform where
silver was being discussed. They were afraid
to attend a meeting, le=t some one would
say: "Art thou also with them?" When you
add those wtirv were intimidated net to
vote, you will find that there were enoueh to
have changed the majority from one side to
the other.
The thing that made me most ludgrant
du>inp the last campaign was the fa~t that,
instead cf .leaving the American people to set
tle this question for themselves, there were j
forria-n influences at work to ri°term'n«* the
ar-tion of the American people. The employer
in many instances called his men out and |
told them that if silver went they cou'.d have
no more employment, but if sound money pre
vailed, they could have work. I do not be
lievo that any circumstance will justify an
employer in intimidating thoee who worked
for him. yet we must not be too severe in our j
judgment of these mm. for many of them !
believed that the triumph of sllevr would ruin j
them.
The first question Is: Have we a right to !
attend to our own b'lsniess? I have n-> doubt i
what the verdict will be when this Question I
is pressed horoe to the American perle. and ■
they uncle-stand it in all its magnitude. I :
have no doubt that when the people of our |
country understand what ind^p-endenre in j
finance means to them that the majority on o :r
side will bo so great that it will be a hun
dred years before any other party pv<t d :r^g
to submit American affairs to foreisn diota
t'.CTi, as it has been 100 years since any party
ever did it before.

RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
A telegram was sent to John Llnd ex
pressing the sympathy of the members upon
the affliction of his family. The following
resolutions were presented and were adopted
with a rousing cheer:
1. This conference of the Democrats of
Minnesota do mos" emphatically and earnest
ly indorse and realflrm the princ.ples of the
Democratic platform of 18SW. and we call
attention to the magnificent canvass made by
our gallant standard bearer, William Jen
nings Bryan.
2. We point with pride to the fact that
Mr. Bryan received more than 6,500,000 votes,
more than 1,000,C00 of votes more than was
ever cast for a president-elect, and in this
connection acknowledge with profound grat
ttude the co-operation of the Populist and
Free Silver Republican parties, who united
with us upon the paramount issues of the
campaign, and made a battle for the common
weal of the common people.
8. We believe that the perpetuity of this
government requires the wresting of power
from the trusts, combinations and monopolies,
th« restoration of, the money of the constitu
tion.
4. We express our most hearty approval
of the supreme court of •this state upon what
is known as the case of Steenerson and others
against the Great Northern Railway company,
which proves that the people still have rights
which the corporations are bound to respect.
6. We most heartily condemn the Repub
lican party in this state for its surrender to
cliques, combinations and corporations,
through, which the common people are de
spoiled of their riglrs and property, and we
express our confidence in the ability and do
termination of the people to restore the ad
ministration of both national and state gov
ernments to that splendid condition vouch
safed to us by our patriotic fathers, for we
cannot helieve the people will long endure
the administration of their affairs solely in
the Interests of plutocracy and aggregated
wealth.
A resolution was also offered by a member
expressing sympathy with struggling Cubans.
The came was adopted, and the meeting ad

JAMESTOWN, N. D., Jan. 11.— Mrs.
P. Tromer. the state's star witness in
the Villers murder trial, was on the j
stand today, but fainted twice and j
went into hysterics at the morning '
session. She did not recover until late, !
and only testified for a few minutes
In the afternoon. While reclining in ;
an easy chair, she fainted again and
was removed from the court mom. The
witness positively ldfiu'fied portions
of the clothing from the remains as the
same she had seen Tromer put on the
last night he left home. The suit was
new ar.d had never been worn before.
She also identified the tie and neck
kerchief found on him. There was !
great excitement in the court room
when s-he fainted.
Villers' hired man in the fall of '94
testified he first heard of Tromer's dis
appearance from Villers a week after
it happened. Villers said he had re
ceived a letter from Tromer in Minne
sota who wrote that he was coining ;
back in a week or two, and also told
the witness that, in passing Tromer*a
house one ni-iht. h? beard thpm quar
reling. He said he had heard Mrs. !
Tromer cry: "Oh. Oh. Kill me, August,
or some time I will _ny?,-'f.' uj should
not be surprised," continued Villers,
"if Tromf-r should come back some
night and kill her ar.d throw her in the
well." Villers tried to kill Mrs. Tromer
himself that way a few days later, for
which he was senter.red to th>- peni
tentiary.
Mrs. Tromer may testify tomorrow,
and, if she is not strung en. ugh. her
.deposition will be taken. Nearly 1,000
people packed into" the court room to
day, many being farmers in from dis- I
tant parts of the country.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 11. — Hon.

where he has spent two weeks in
vestigating the conditions prevailing
on tho island. To the Associated Press
Mr. Ku.-s(-ll said:

public regards tn» rerorts as bia -<=d by he

n:' the country, to San Domingo Santa C ara
and Sasua la Grande.' 1 visited Marian-; a
short distance wes: of Havana, and saw
a!<,ni? the iailroad thirty or f'-rty towns or
stations. It. Havens 1 •. isited the Fos*o- th*
ho'-pital prison, where I taikrd wirh .he
father of EvaiiK''l:na Coesio y Cis..erc», und a
pla.-e railed The Jac^bo.
I found reconceQtradcfl at all three places
and bejrging everywhere about the streets
of Havana. The spe.-tale at the Fossos and
Jaci>ba hous».-s cf women and chi dm
emaciated to sfeeletona ar.d suffering trym
d!sta*f-s produced by starvation was sicken
ing. In Saeua I saw some sick ar d emicat
ed little girls in a children's hospital s'arted
three days before by charitable Cubans an 1
9jw a crowd of muerable-lcoking reconcenfc a
dos with tin backers and other rec-pac es
getting a smail allowance of food dvied out
to them In a ya'-d. In the ?am» cry, in an
old sugar warehouse.. I saw stationed around
the inside walla the remnants of twenty or
thirty Cuban families. In one C3^e the rem
oanrt consisted of two ilule children of 7 or
8. In another case where I talked to th»
people in broken Spanish there w.re four In
dividuals, a m ;:her, a Rirl < f U and two-qul'.s
Email girls. The smallest was then suffe-ln?
from malarial fever. The nc-xt had th» s'gn3
on her hands with which I had br-cotne fa
miliar, of having had th? Bed-Ben. Th->«.
four were all that the order of concern ration
had left alive of eleven.
At San Domingo, where two railroads join
the depot was crowded with children, one of
the latter, as I re-member. being swollen with
the Etri-Beri, begging in the mast earnest way
of thf- few passengers. San Domingo is lit
tle more than a railrc-ad station in time of
peace, but at present It has a considerable
population, living In cabins thatched with
the tops of royal palm trees captured of the
survivors cf the other reconcentradas. The
huts are ranged close together in a little
clump, and the concentrado order required,
and apparently still requires, these people to
live within a circle of small block houses,
commonly dignified In the dispatches by the
names of forts. Of course they had no work
to do, no e>ll to till, no seed to plant, and
only begging to live on. I do not know the
exact measure of the- de-id-llne circle drawn
around them, but there was certainly noth
ing within it upon which a human being
could subsist ard also, certainly, if any or
der had really permitted them to go a short
distance further out, they had not gone, and
were not going. Practically, they are prison
ers.
At every one of the numerous stopping
places along the road a similar collection of
huts could be seen and at most of them beg
gars, often nice looking women and beauti
ful children invaded the cars. Between the
stations, although I traveled always by dxy
light, as the trains do not run at night, and
was as observing as possible, I saw no sigua
of the reconcentrados going away from the
forts. If they had gone, it takt-s seed, in
struments, land and three or four months to
roi^e the vegt tables, which could b^ pro
. and nowhere away from the block
houses was there any si^n of vegetables
growing. Near the larger towns the circle of
concentration seamed to be somewhat larger,
ard some planting of vegetables, tobacco,
etc., seemed to be going on. At this a very
few persons, possibly some of the reconcen
trados, found employ meat.

WASHINGTON BUREAU ST. PAUL GLOBE, )
CORCORAN BUILDING. \
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 11.— The sur
prise which was expressed among the
b< si friends of civil service reform at
S> cretary Gage's answer to the senate
resolution of inquiry as to the positions
in his department which could with
profit be exempted from the operations
of the civil service rules, has not yet
ckared away. It had been expected
that he would recommend the restora
tion of the deputy collectors of internal
revenue to the free appointive list, but
it was also expected that he would
base the recommendation on another
ground. If he had said that the law.
as he construed it, or as it had been
construed by* the officer charged with
the duty of furnishing legal opinions
to the secretary on departmental mat
ters, seemed to vest the full power of
;>\ i><-intment in the collectors, he would
have stood side by side with a few men
who are as desirous today as ever t i
put the deputy collectors under the
rules, but who do not believe that the
law sanctions such a course. There
would have been nothing astonishing or
incongruous in such a suggestion; and
the secretary- is recognized as so sin
ctre that every one would have given
him credit for acting according to his
best lights, however misleading. When
h« did not simply defer to the law,
h< wever, but went out of his way to
express his deliberate preference for
the patronage practice as distinguish
ed from the merit system, he convinced
many persons who have known the in
terna.l revenue service many years
lenger and a great deal better than he,
that he had not taken proper pains to
inform himself before making up his
j mind.
It Is safe to say that there is not an
expert in int rnal revenue matters who
considers the good of the service in
stead of its political aspects, who would
nol tell Mr. (Jagp — and give the rea
s. ns why— that the whole service would
j be vastly benefited by drawing the can-
I dldates for appointment as deputy col
' lectors from an eligible list prepared
j according to some such method as that
| employed by the civil service commis
j sion. By universal consent among the
'■ disinterested judges, a much more cap
j able class of appointees would be ob
| tair.ed, within average of honesty cer
j tainly as high if not higher. Secretary
j Gage would probably resent the impu
: tatlon that he was fastening- upon the
i service a lot of incompetents ch< s.-n by
) the congressmen from the whisky dis
tricts and foisted by them upon the
| collectors as part of the local political
traffic in offices and salaries. That Is
\ because he has had the Fame expeiienc
; as other secretaries, while still new to
i the treasury- portfolio, in having his
i attention called only to th>se instances
j In which the collectors and thr-tr oon
i grespmen were at o'ids over patronag-.
He has doubtlers been impr
with the idea that in all cases the col
lectors act independently of the con
gressmen in choosing deputies becau.se
the only way In which he is brought
Into these matters is by bc-inx called
upon to arbitrate between a cong
man and a collector here and there
where the collector happened to have a
mind of his own and the congressman
had appealed to the secretary in the
hope of getting the collector disciplined
and his own desires carried out. When
the secretary has been in office longer
h° will learn that these cases are the
rare exceptions, and that the collector
a3 a rule takes the larger part of the
congressman's "slate" and makes it hi.-*
o\\ n.
ONE CONSOLATION.
There Is one consolation, however, in
the secretary's attitude, and the spoils
men who are preparing to loot the
service on the strength of having po
powerful a champion In the cabinet
will find out when too late that they
have counted on more than they will
receive. Mr. Gage has no notion of
I having illiterates, at least, dumped
upon him, and it is understood that he
will apply to the candidates for deputy
eolleetorships the same rule on which
he insists in the case of applicants for
, prc motion or for appointment to ex
cepted places in the department proper;
that they shall pass at least a non-
