SLAUGHTER OF THE TEACHERS.

MANILA, Aug. 13. An investigation
made by the constabulary to clear up
the facts In the killing of n Cebu conch
ing party of four schoolteachers shows
that the party wns ambushed twelve
miles from Cebu. Two teachers were
shot and killed at the first volley, a
third, who ran, wns shot In the back,
and a fourth, who was captured, was
jhot in the chest while he was praying
for mercy.
It Is suspected that the fourth man
was burled alive, as his wound was
alight nnd probably would not have
caused death. Dogs dug up two bodies
iind devoured the flesh. It Is believed
that sufficient evidence has been se
cured to convict all the participants in
the crime.
The bodies of these teachers were
found on July 2-1, after the teachers
'iad been missing since June 10. The
jollce killed the leador of the band of
murderers and captured eight other al
leged participants in the crime. One
man escaped.

MANCIIIOSTRU, Mnss., Aug. 11.
Uulted States Senator James McMil

of acute pneumonia.
The senator retired Saturday night,

attack In the afternoon. He nwoko
about, midnight in great pnln and
called Mis. McMillan. Dr Washburn
was hurriedly called to the bouse nnd
diagnosed the senator's Illness as ncnte
contention of the lungs.
The end came without the slightest
warning. Only Mrs. McMillan, her
daughter, Dr. Washburn nnd Secre
tary Hiee were In the chamber when
he passed awny.
Senator McMillan was In his usual
good health up until Saturday after
noon. For several yenrs, however, he
had suffered from n heart affection,
principally n weakness brought on by
overwork, nnd had guarded himself
against it, but the extra responsibili
ties In the seiinte thrown upon him
last winter, together with the shock
of losing n brother, son nnd grandson
within a year, are believed to have
aggravated his trouble.
The funeral services will take place
from tin senator's Into home In De

family lot in that city.
Senator McMillan was a native of
Ontario, having been born In Hamil
ton May 12, 18:18, but In early life re

JUDGE GRAY'S SUCCESSOR.
Preaident nmo Oliver Wendell
llolmea For Supreme Conrt Deneh.
OYSTER HAY, N. Y., Aug. 12. Pres
ident Roosevelt late yesterday after
noon announced that he had appointed
Hon. Oliver Wendell Holmes, chief
Justice of the supreme court of Massa
chusetts, to be an associate Justice of
the United States supreme court vice
Mr. Justice Gray, resigned.
The resignation of Justice Gray was
due to ill health. Several lfionths ago
be suffered a stroke of npoplcxy, which
some time later was followed by an
other. He has not appeared on the
bench since he was stricken the first
time. His advanced age seventy-four
years told against his recovery with
serious force. Realizing that he prob
ably never would be able ngain to
assume the place which he so long
had filled with distinguished ability
and honor, he decided a short time ngo
to tender his resignation to the presi
dent With the exception of Mr. Jus
tice Harlan he served on the bench of
the United States supreme court longer
than any of his present colleagues. He
was appointed an associate Justice by
President Arthur on Dec. 19, 1881, his
service extending, therefore, through
period of nearly twenty-one years.
Judge Holmes, whom the president
has selected as Mr. Justice Gray's suc
cessor, is one of the most distinguished
lawyers and Jurists of Massachusetts.
His 'career on the bench, particularly
as chief Justice of the Massachusetts
supreme court, has attracted wide at
tention. Like Justice Gray, he is a na
tive of Massachusetts.

Opinions From Various Sources On Po
litical Questions of the Day.
Every time Mr. Sibley forgets his
Republicanism he manages to say a'
lot f)t patriotic things The Com
moner. There is no reason to question
Chairman Donnelly's declaration that
"Ex-Governor Pattlson and the Demo
cratic city committee are working in
perfect harmony and In mutual trust
and sincerity." Certainly this ought to
be true, and we have a right to assume
that it Is true, notwithstanding ap
parently interested efforts to create a
different Impression. Philadelphia
Times.
The Pennsylvania state building at
the Charleston Exposition, which cost
$11,325 to build, has been sold at auc
tion for $135. It was a characteristic
machine Job when built, and its sale
was of the same character. It is impos
sible to secure honest dealing as con
cerns the state in anything the people
at Harrlsburg of the Stone administra
tion put their hands. The track of dis
honesty and theft trails after them
from the cradle to the grave. Pitts
burg Post.
Mr. Guthrie has done more than any
man in the state to promote ballot re
form. He has labored with equal as
siduity and success for municipal re
form and governmental improvements
of every kind. As lieutenant governor
he will be a part, and an Important
part, of the. legislative branch of the
government, and his presence there
will be an Inspiration to effort and a
basis of hope for all citizens of the
rommonwenlth who desire honest elec
tions and Just returns. Harrlsburg
Star-Independent.
The record of the present adminis
tration at Harrlsburg has convinced
thinking men that partisan success
does not always Insure the best re
sults In ofllce, and that a proper re
gard for the operation of the organic
law of the state and the rights of the
people are more desirable in an execu
I tlve than his devotion to any partlcu
j lar brand of machine politics. The
nomination of Mr. Pattison as the
Democratic candidate for governor
will Invest the state campaign with
a degree of interest that it would not
otherwise possess Scranton Truth
(Ind. Hep.).
The nomination of Quay's candidate
for governor means, If It means any
thing, that ballot-box Btufllng Is to be
perpetrated in Philadelphia. The prac
tices of Salter are to be continued and
perfected. It has been made possible
in the past by an acquiescent bench,
and the Judicial courtesy will be in
voked this year to help Pennypacker.
If the Judges had been faithful to their
obligations and Just to the community
the practice would have been broken
up long ago. 13ut they have encouraged
ballot-box stufllng by making it as dif
ficult as possible to convict the per
petrators of the crime. Bellefonte
Watchman.
When Judge Pennypacker, away
back in November, wrote his panegyric
of Senator Quay in which he estimated
that gentleman as a greater statesman
than Daniel Webster and the posses
sor of gifts equal to those of Shake
speare, he thought he was simply pay
ing the profligate tribute of a blind in
fatuation to a kinsman who had been
kind. It marked him a fool, for be
sides showing an intellectual infirmity
it revealed an indifference to political
immorality which was disgraceful to
the bench. But it may be assumed
that he neither expected nor desired
other reward than a sign of apprecia
tion. Such an infatuation is equally
satisfied with a kiss or a kick. Harrls
burg Star-Independent.
Judging from its severity, those out
Bide of Pennsylvania would say of the
Democratic platform : "Here is partisan
recklessness." It is nothing of the
kind. It is the plain, unvarnished
truth, stated without exaggeration.
There is not an assertion in it but is
sustained by Republican authority. The
Democrats did not exaggerate, sim
ply because the facts in the case defy
exaggreatlon. The politics of Pennsyln
vanla is the plague spot of the nation,
and it has debauched the state govern
ment to a degree that it is impossible
to overstate. This is all confessed by
Republicans of the highest possible
character, and who have occupied the
highest place in Republican councils.
Boston Herald (Ind.).
The denunciation of the majority of
the state supreme court for its decision
In the "ripper" cases by Alexander
StmpBon, Jr., the retiring president of
the State Bar Association, at the meet
ing of that body at Cambridge Springs
yesterday, will probably Impress the
minds of thinking people more than
all the stump oratory on the subject
that can be perpetrated during the
present political canvass. Mr. Simp
son, by the way, is a Republican, ills
criticism of the majority of the su
preme court, therefore, cannot be
charged up to political partisanship. In
the courso of his remarks Mr. Simpson
quotes section 7 of article 3 of the state
constitution which forbids the enact
ment of "any local or special laws
regulating the affairs of counties, cit
ies, townships, wards, boroughs or
school districts or changing
their charters, creating offices or pre
scribing the powers and duties of offi
cers In counties, cities; boroughs, etc.
Mr. Simpson comments on this consti
tutional provision as follows: "It is
safe to say, from the debates in the
convention and from the history of the
times, that outside of the supreme
court chambers nearly everyone sup
posed that the clauses quoted destroy
ed -the power to legislate for locali
ties." To the lay mind at least it
seems that Mr. Simpson has the cor
rect view of the matter. Harrlsburg

CURRENT COMMENT
Comment on Matters Political and
Otherwise of Publio Interest.
ANDItrcW J. PAI-M.
If Pennsylvania has no evils worthy
of mention, Pennypacker, of course, is
not in favor of ballot reform, because
It wouldn't bo worlh while to bother
himself about reforming anything that
Is not bad enough to attract attention.
Neither does he evidently consider
bribery, perjury and ballot box stuf
fing evils worthy of notice. Penuy-
packer, in the language of the street,
must be a daisy.
Judge Potter telephoned Governor
Stone that he had a h 1 of a time to
get a favorable decision from his fel
lows of the Supreme Court on the rip
per bills. No doubt the members of
the court after seeing the humiliating
Hcht in which they have been placed
by Alexander, Simpson, Jr., of the
Philadelphia bar, will wish that they
had allowed Potter to have his h 1 of
a time with the governor rather than
with the court. Any one who can read
the Kngllsh language can readily un
derstand on reading Mr. Simpson's ad
dress before the Pennsylvania Bar As
sociation why he received the hearty
applause of the members who listened
attentively to every word or tno able
address. A political court well de
serves the contempt which it is certain
to receive sooner or later.
One of Quay's objections to Elkln as
a candidate for governor was that Pen
rose would be in danger of defeat for
the senate should Elkln head the tick
et The fact Is that Mr. Penrose's case
never looked worse than It does at the
outset of Pennypacker's campaign.
Quay failed of election at the session
of '99 and would have failed at the
Inst except for the most unblushing
bribery. Quay had all the united sup
port of the stalwart element, some
thing that Penrose is not at all likely to
receive. With the Democrats, Indepen
dent Republicans and some of the regu
lars against him, it looks as If Pen
rose might as well declare himself out
of the race. It would be hard to find
a candidate who would not represent
the state with more credit, so there
need be no worry over the matter.
When Judge Pennypacker declares
that Pennsylvania has no evils worthy
of mention ho gives the lie direct to
the North American, Ledger, Press and
the many other independent papers of
the state, as well as to many stalwart
papers outside of the state that declare)
Pennsylvania to be the worst rlng-rld-den
commonwealth of the union. The
Philadelphia Press has for years been
waging a bitter war against the evil3
of Quaylsm, but now It turns about
face and says that because Pennypack
er Is an honest man it will support
him. The Press well knows that
Pennypacker is Quay's man and that,
if elected, he will absolutely follow
Quay's orders. Why shouldn't he, when
he declares that Quay is one of the
greatest men of the ago? The course
of the Press may be consistent enough
for Philadelphia politics, but it is sad
ly inconsistent with the dictates of
honesty and courage.
"God pity the man who sells his vote
In this fight," exclaimed State Treas
urer Harris the day before the late Re
publican convention. According to the
Philadelphia Inquirer, Mr. Elkin, Sena
tor Focht and many others forty-ono
of the delegates would be entitled to
the divine pity Invoked by Mr. Harris.
Mr. Harris expressed the opinion at the
same time that a purchased nomination
would create such a sentiment through
the state that it would be utterly im
possible to elect the candidate who se
cured the dishonest nomination. Mr.
Harris ought to be authority on tha
matter of bribery, for being a proml
nent member of the last house he is
supposed to be more or less familiar
with the number of men who sold
themselves on the various measures,
how much they were paid, etc. He
didn't, however, then seem to think it
so serious a matter, but rather con
sidered it a good thing for the party
Where would Speaker Marshall have
been or Boss Quay had it not been for
the men who Bold themselves the last
session. What reason has Mr. Harris
for thinking the people will resent all
this devilment at the polls? Is he do.
ing all he can to avenge the bribery of
the forty-one votes which defeated his
candidate for the governorship?
The most effective Democratic argu
ment in favor of Paulson's election is
Pennypacker's fulsome praise of Sena
tor Quay. Wiiliamsport Sun.
The nomination of ex-Governor Rob
ert E. Pattison tor governor by the
Democratic State Convention is prob
ably the strongest that could have been
made by the minority party, and is cer
tainly a unique honor in the political
history of the state. As a man and an
official, Mr. Pattison has enjoyed thfc
confidence and esteem of the people
whom he has served in a public capac
ity, and he will, therefore, bring to his
canvass a strength which no other can
didate in bis party ranks could ex
pect. Lancaster New Era (Rep.).
A preamble of self-gratulatlon deny
ing any credit to the Almighty for

tossed to veteran soldiers and sailors,
the same sop which has been thrown
at them for years as though the Re

at the same time admission Is made of
the abuses and atrocities In the Phil
