NO. 12. if ii ii h v7 lr'1nf C ' THE WASHINGTON LETTER Much interest is expressed In Washington In the answer to the charges ol the anil-imperialists which is being prepared hy Col. Clarence JMw tir.N, chief of the insular bureau of the war deparment. Colonel Ed wards stab's that he lias, in the sworn testimony taken before the Philip pine committee of the senate, a re futation of every charge made by the anti-imperialists nnd that bin plan will le to print the charges and refutations in parallel columns. The general and unsubstantiated charges of the anti-imperialists will look very insignificant when placed side by side with the specific, sworn state ments of men wno have made their observations on the ground and it Is reasonable to nsume that once Col. Edward's book has been given gen eral circulation therevill be little more heard from the fanatical gen tlemen who style themselves "the defenders of humanity." The determination of Culm to negotiate a loan of ?:!.r),nno,000 is causing serious anxiety to the admin istration. What can have operated to create so unanimous a sentiment in favor of such a loan is a question frequently asked and there are many who believe that the same element which defeated the president's Cuban reciprocity policy in congress is at the bottom of Cuba's present inten tions. It is said, and not without reason, that if these gentlemen can pursuade Cuba to Issue so large a loan they will be able to buy these bonds at a ruinous discount and, having secured a considerable hold ing, they will lie in a position to practically dictate Cuban affairs, against their dictation, they will in sist on payment of the bonds and thus force annexation to the Unitinl States, thud profiting to an incalcul able extent on their investment. In connection witli the proposed, loan a complicated question arises as to the location of the power which may prohibit the negotiation of the loan or which may pronounce such a loan in violation of the Piatt amend ment. There is no clause in the Piatt amendment designating the executive as the mentor of Cuban finances and, as the constitution ex pressly provides that the executive branch of the government shall ac quire no power not expressly delegat ed to it by the constitution or by congress, it is dlllcult to see how the power to interfere with Cuba can rest with anyone but congress. Nevertheless, the secretary of the treasury states unequi vocally that be believes full power in the matter rests with the president acting by the advice of Irs cabinent. What ever opinion may be held now, it is clear that it will become the duty of congress, as soon as that body con venes, to pass a bill which will clear ly define the relations of congress and of the executive to Cuba and then to investigate the conditions in Culm which necessitate anil warrant, if it be warranted, the negotatiou of the proposed loan. No one believes that Cuba has any financial resources which warrant the borrowing of so vast a Bum. Rut a small portion of Cuba's agricultural lands are produc tive at the present time ami her tax able area is severely restricted. Where she can raise the funds with which to pay 5 per cent, interest on tJ5,000,OlMJ is not easily determined. Reprcscntativj Cannon of Illinois passed through Washington this week on his way from his Illinois home to a seaside resort, (speaking of the political situation, he said the outlook in his part ol the country was most hopeful. That the prosper ity was unparalleled, and that the people would have little time to devote to the campaign, for every body was to busy, but they appreciat ed from what source that prosperity came and they would not fail to go to the polls and and express their satisfaction with present conditions ti ml their desire for their continuance when election day came around. Mr. Cannon said he was in very good health but that he felt the need of rest and expected to enjoy a few weeks of .sea air before returning to take part ill the tali campaign. The war and navy departments have revived an appeal for protec tion, fiuin ' the I'liiicd Mates and li.iniaii ral'le company, it seems th ;l A - h 1 1 i i a I Kiili. k has allied hiin- ". v ilil ie!..-!;; i'iniiMl, ulid, an I : o - I " i a '.' i on a ry commanders !.-. . t . v.-nt I. no a !' of their l , o . ,. j a :,d in. i:,oOs Iro'iii l- ing the out side-1 world, they have orcred the .cable to New York severed. Although the company owning the cable is largely French many of the stockholder are Ameri cans and n large portion of the busi ness done s for the navy department of this country. Therefore, appeal is made to this country for protec tion. It is further claimed that, In accordance w itli the Monroe Doctrine, the I'nlted States must insist upon making any necessary interference with a view to preserving order as the interference hy France in this instance might result in a similar condition to that in which the United States found Itself after the battle of Manila, when withdrawal was in compatible with the safety of the foreign residents of that city. Through the olllciousness of some member of his force, Secretary Moody of the navy has been placed in an embarrassing position. The seer -tary invited the members of the sen ate and house committees on naval affairs to be his guests on the Dolphili during the naval maneuvers this month. Home one of the secretary's subordinates applied to the comptrol ler of the treasury to know if the ex penses of the legislators could be de frayed out of the treasury funds, and has received a negative reply. Sec tary Moody desired no such informa tion as lie had known the law from the first, and intended to entertain the members of the committees at his own expense. It is not estimated that the mess rate, which is what the secretary will have to pay, will be over $i per day, per man, and that is not only paid by the secretary in this instance, but is paid even by the president for every person whet ac companies him on his frequent trips on the Sylph, the Dolphin and the Mayflower. Of course, in the event that a trip Is planned by congress, that body can make a special appro priation to cover the expenses of its members when on board naval vessels, as was done during the Columbus naval review in 1893. The town of Hildersheirn in Ger. many is said to possess a rosebush 10(i0 years old. It clings amid thickly grown moss to the side of the Church of St. Michaol and has bloomed perennially since the days of King Alfred. The Forestry commission invites citizens to us3 Its reservations for camping, bunting and fishing but directs all door-running dogs will be killed and their owners driven off. It also forbids jnaking fires by. hunt ers on runways. Any persons found violating the tamo laws or not properly guarding their camp fires will be arrested. Chancellor E. Benjamin Andrews of Nebraska university In a recent address in Chicago shocked the students by advising them to get married. He said: "The unmarried individual amounts to almost noth ing. The part of the single person in life is not entirely devoid of op. portunitv to do good, still it must be a knitted that it leads one into a very narrow life." Now Is the best time to cut weeds and brush and to trim up along the roads. A few hours work in doing this will greatly improve the looks of many places. A little applied forestry in town would be of benefit to its general appearance too. The'democratio congressional con vention will bo held here early in September. Already candidates are engaging rooms and no doubt there will bo something doing while the conference is in session. The last time it met bore Pike landed the prize and no doubt Rowland is hop ing that the same hapov auspices may again prevail. Mayor Low of New York in an address last week gave as bis opin ion that approximately one saloon in five had the legal right to sell liquor on Sundays. As a result all the Kttloous in Brooklyn lust Sun lay were wide open and there wore no excise arrests. They seemed to con strue the mover's remarks both literally and liberally.

History Repeats Itself Henry Elliott, who claimed New Jarsey as his residence, came over last Sunday with two companions and brought with him a large "jag" which he proceeded to exhibit in various ways, among them racing his horse. Officer Wood with bis usual energy in such matters suc ceeded in inducing Elliott to accom pany him to the lockup, where be spent the night, and next morning paid $11 for the privilege, or at least be put tip bis watch as evi dence of his good, faith.

There is In that vioinity excellent bass grounds and no doubt the specimen taken had plenty of sooioty of his size but it requires an expert to induoe such lare fish to be taken and it also necessitates skill to land them when hooked. - ' Real Estate Tran.fera Commonwealth to Frederick W.

Judge Horace Heydt has been nominated by the republicans of Carbon county a candidate against Judga Craig. Senator Quay has been suffering for the p:ist week from a scalded foot which has prevented him from visiting the republican headquar ters. The dance at the Grand View House Tuesday evening was a great success and the one in Brown's Hall Wednesday evening was well at tended. A oloudburst last Sunday cut off traffic between Atlantio City and Philadelphia for several hours. Tracks of railroads were badly washed. Edgar Reuol, the infant son of W. F. Bock and wife, died of ontor itis Monday, August 11, after a brief illness. The funeral was held Thursday.

The socialists have nominated a full ticket in Carbon oounty and from the manner in which they are organizing it looks as if they may make trouble for somebody. At all events the situation will be very in teresting tor some of the candidates on the regular tickets. Two young ladies, amateureyclists, living at the Vantine House, rode down Harford street Wednesday and being unacquainted with the fact that there is a hill at the Jardon House rode on and lost control of their wheels. They landed pt the foot of the hill and both were quite badly injured. There is no change iu the strike situation. Coal is becoming very scarce and the price is going up.

Tho storm last Sunday inflicted considerable 'damage to railroads. A washout dorailod a train on tho Harlem road and eight persons were injured. By the same cause an ongina on the D., L. & W. near Morristown was npsot and a brake man killed, and the road so crippled that trains wore greatly dolayed. A cemetery at Madison, N. J, -was washed out and many caskets un covered. Alfred Brink, a native of Montu guo, N. J., but, for somo years a res ident of Port Jervis, died at that place Tuoiday aged about 73 years. Ho is survived by his wife and one son, Levi, also by brothers and sis ters, Nolson of Sayre, Pa., Evi of Sandyston, N. J., Alexander of Matamoras, Mrs. A. W. Balch of that place, and Mrs. Julia Kerr of Montaguo, N. J. The funaral was hold yesterday and interment at Montaguo. Senator Carmack, who has red hair, is considerably exercised over tho departure of the republican party of today from the landmarks sot by its fonndors. It is astonish ing how much some of our domo cratio friends love the republican party of years gone by. Senator Vest's remark to the ef feet that a financial panio would re turn tho (Irinocrats to "power has been widely quoted. The statement does not lack in probability, provid ing the piuiio is severe, widespread and long continued enough. But it. would bo just like domocratio luck to have the country go right on and prosper. Mr. Bryan now asserts that, ho diil not mean that ho could not bo induced to accept the domocratio nomination. Ho was not going to insist upon having it, but if ho saw that a grateful democracy was get ting ready to pursuo drastic meas ures to force the acceptance upon '..mi, why he would not create any any trouble in the party through an excess of modesty. Tho interviews secured from Mar quis Ito, the eminent Japanese statesmen, predicting that our in dustries are running at such high pressure that tho present conditions of prosperity cannot last forever, and fearful that financial disaster will result, have been seized upon with great avidity by domo cratio calamity howlers. This class of statesmen has had short brows ing for tbo past several yeurs. For biliousness use Chamberlain's Stouiach Mud.
