It is sald that Frederick Ruther- ford Harris, former secretary of the Brit- ish Chartered South Africa company, has recelved a telegram to the same effect, but nothing of any official or really reliable mature concerning the matter Is known.

In a canvass of the Nebraska delegation even the democrats are divided, while the two republican members have not made up their mind how they would vote on the proposition to recommit.

Representative Stark today received ad- vices from Henderson, Neb., that the death of George Klassen, a citizen of that place, had been reported from the Philippines and asking him to confirm the same if possible. Judge Stark at once called upon the War department for information, but had re- ceived no advice tonight. Dr. Klassen en- listed in the Sixth United States cavalry in 1897 and with his regiment saw service in Cuba, having been wounded in the battie of Santiago. After the Spanish-American war he went to the Philippines as veteri- nary surgeon and while in this capacity he was reported to bave been killed.

Tsilka. The brigands had by this time become so insult- ing and cruel in their remarks that it was becoming unbearable. The appearance of the baby stopped all this, for the reason that the brigande of Turkey belleve that a curse will settle on them if they do harm to a child or its mother. Our treat- ment after the birth of the baby was ex- cellent. We began to get better food, al- though I must admit that it was generally very good, and the sneering remarks stopped. “It was when the negtiations for our re- lease fell through or became dfsturbed that were subjected to our worst treatment. ‘You are to die twenty days from now,’ or ‘we will put a bullet in your brain soon,’ were some of the pleasant things that they said to us.” Miss Stone said she would go at once to Massachusetts to' see her mother, who is more than 90 years ol WON'T URGE MERGER BILL Leaders of Railway Interests Aban- don Efforts to Push Measure Through lowa House. DES MOINES, April 10.—W. P.

They stated that they hoped the com- promise measure passing the senate Tues- day would meet the objections raised in The president thanked them. A company | of marines who had acted as the president's guard while at Charleston and here, under Captain Henry Leonard, were lined up on the depot platform. The president thanked them for their services and expressed re- gret that they had not participated in the Prince Henry ceremonies, because, he sald, he was sure they would have made a fine appearance. The train then pulled out for Washington amid cheers of an immense crowd gathered at the station. Crowds of Cheering People. Through the towns that the presidential train passed on the return journey crowds of cheering people lined the tracks to catch a glimpse of Mr. Roosevelt. A crowd had gathered at the depot at Co- lumbia, and there was a rush for the presi- dent’s car. In the crowd were a number of students of the South Carolina college, who gave a strong college yell. When a sem- blance of order was restored the president, who had been standing on the platform with Mrs. Roosevelt, made a short speech, in which he sald that this was but another evidence of the cordial treatment he had re- celved while in the state. He greatly pleased his audlience when he told them that he was a good American when he came to South Carolina, but he was a better one when he left it. Considerable laughter was caused when he grapsed the outstretched hand of a little girl and said he was par- tial to children because he had half a dozen of them himself. President Makes a Winnsboro and Chester, 8. C., turned out immense crowds. At the latter place ,where a brief stop wae made, the president ap- peared on the rear platform.

Mrs. Tabor avers that her husband placed these stocks in Mr Moffatt's hands as trustee pending negotia- tions for the sale of them. S8he alleges that the sale was never made and that the stocks were never returned to her hus- band. The second suit was brought by Mrs. Tabor and Mrs. ““Tim" Foley against George W. Trimble and A. V. Hunter of Leadville and John Campion to recover 50,870 shares of stock in the Iroquols Mining company. The plaintiffs ask for $100,000 damages. They allege that July 1, 1887, this stock was placed by Tabor and Foley with Mesars. Trimble and Hunter, to be delivered to Mr., Camplon on or before July 1, 1868, upon the payment by Camplon of $50,000. It is al'eged that Mr, Camplon defaulted in the payment of the money and in per- forming other certain conditions and that Trimble and Hunter have never returned the stock.

COMMISSION MEN FIGHT RULE Stock Yards Com Pen ¥ Locks Gates of d Commission Men Break Them Open KANSAS CITY, April 10.—(Special Tele- gram.)—The Stock Yards company this morning enforced its new yarding rules and confusion and chaos relgned among the traders and commission men. The Stock Yards company had ite employes yard stock in pens heretofore occupied by the commis- slon men whenever it was possible. The gates to the pens were locked and only the authorized agents of, or the commission men themeelves, could obtain possesston of the stock. Alderman John Strode of the Chicago Live Stock Commission company secured an iron club and knocked the locks from several gates and forcibly took pos- sesston of the cattle consigned to his firm. A few other commission men followed his example. Others went to the trouble to follow the rules and gave written orders | for the delivery of cattle or claimed them in person. The Chicago Live Stock Commis- elon company attempted to file the names of its employes authorized to receive and * sist” the yard company to yard and deliver tock consigned to It.

LOWTHER WILL APPEAL CASE Deposed Minister Justifies His Doc- trines by Examples of Meth- odist Bishops. M'PHERSON, Kan., April Granville Lowther has decided from the verdict of the trial committee in the recent Methodist Eplscopal conference at Arkansas City, which found him guilty of teaching heretical doctrines and deposed him. He says: Many Methodists urge me to appeal be- cause they think the decision s an in- justice to their domination on the ques. tons involved and commits them to old statements which no educated man be- leves. Bishop Andrews in a recent address de- livered to the candidates for orders in the | Baltimore conference, emphasised the same teachings for which I had been expelled. Bishop Warren is a_sclentist of the mod- ern_ type. Bishop Vincent Is an avowed evolutionist and higher critic; Bishop Fos- ter is accounted heterodox In ‘the teachings of his book, “Beyond the Grave." | "My lawyer says six of the eleven men | who sat on the trial committee had seen | my essay on which the charges were based and had it argued Into them as heretical before the conference met. The men who prefered the charges against me and who sat_on the jury were men noet posted on evolution, higher criticism or the scientific side of the atonement, and”most of them have never read a_stindard book on any of those subjects. T think If the case were Taken before men of broader range of vision the decision would be reversed. FUGITIVE CAUGHT IN EAST o Springs Man Sald to Be In- n Postal Frauds Arrested. 10.—Rev.

LINCOLN, April 10.—(Special Telegram.) ~The Lincoln Medical association met to- night and discussed the action of the Board of Regents in annexing the Omaha Medical college to the University of Nebraska. No action was taken, but it was the sense of some of the members that the regents should have consulted the physicians of Lincoln before closing the deal. It is as- sorted, bowever, that the association will | ot cppese tbe annexation of the college, to appeal | | | that provi guna and Samar is, in_my opinion, ing seeds for a perpetual revolution against us hereafter whenever a good opportunity offers. Under present conditions the po- litical situation in this province 1s slowly retrograding and the American sentiment decreasing and we are dally making permanent enemies In the course above referred to troops make no distinction, often, between the property of those natives who are ins gents or insurgent sympathizers and property of those who heretofore hay risked their lives by being ‘loyal to the United States and giving us information against thelr countrymen in arms. Often every house in a barrio {s burned. In my opinion the small number of iree- concilable insurgents ' #til in arms, &l though admittedly difficult to catch, does not justify the means Omrloy.d. especiall; when it 18 taken into consideration the suf- fering that must be updergone by the innocent and its effect upon the people hereafter. Natives Favor Commias s Laws. The work of the Philippine commission and the laws that have been enacted by it are everywhere favorably commented upon by the natives. The efforts belng m for the general education of the peop are appreciated by all. The provincial go ernment and the municipal governments es. tablished are slowly bringing order out of chaos and anarchy, and t begins to be visible everywhere In this province proy und prosperity. True loyalty and content- ment can onfy come under a benign efvil . government The attitude of the army. thereby mean- ing most of its officers ‘and soidlers, is, however, decidedly hostile to the provinelai and municipalitan government ~ in this province and to civil government in these islunds in general In Manfla especially it is intensely so, even among the higher officers. The work of the commission in the establishment of provineial governments {8 ridicul even In the presence of the natives. It is openly stated that the army should rem: in charge for the next twenty years. Out- rages ccmmitted by officers and soldles against natives in an ory munic! pality and province, when reported by the presidente or governor to the military & thorities are often not punished. This In my opinion Is unfortunate be- ceuse loyal natives begin to fear that local self-government will not last long and that any slight disturbance in a province may at any (ime be made the pretext to again slace 1t under military rule, and this is Just ‘the thing the insurgents at heart most devire. It has been stated that a Filipino or an orfental does not appreciate just or kind) treatment and that he considers it an evi- dence of weakness, and that severe and hareh measures are the only ones thet permanently effective with Flipin h d that just and kind treatment, uni- fc and continued, is the only way by which these people can become our friends and satisfied with United States sover- elgnty Superior Intelligence in Tayabas, Having been stationed six years on t Rio Grande, I am well acquainted with the natives of ‘the state of Tamaullpas, Mex- ico, and while stationed in the province of Santa Clara, Cuba, | visited every town in e and ‘'was able to observe intelligence and education there. I belleve that the people of Tayabas province are in every way superior in education, intellis gence, morals and civilization to the people of Tamaulipas or Santa Clara. As officer of the army I regret that my duty as civil governor of the province imgels me to state the attitude of the ma- jorfty of my fellow officers toward the civil government in these islands and its effect upon the people, but 1 feel that the interests of the government involved and’ the future of these people for whose wels fare we are responsible are of such vast importance that I ought report mnf‘ as I see and know them in order that my superiors may be able to order what the situation demands.
