THE EX-CONSUL ARRIVED IN WASHINGTON.
Allied Fur Leave to Ylalt HI Home In
Ohio, Which Wu til-anted- Gave .No
Koiuoo For Wanting . to Leave Hit
Fot t 1'retorl.
Washington', Feb. ($. After a call by
Congressman Tayler, on Assistant Sec
retary Hill, Mr, Macrum, ex-consul at
Pretoria, made a call aud had a confer
ence with Hill, Secretary Hay having
lett the department for the day.
His stay wat short, only about 20
miuutes perhaps, aud ho left Dr. Hill
as much iu the dark us he had been be
fore as to Mr. Macrum's motive for
leaving Pretoria. Nor did it develop
whether or not Mr. Macrum was the
bearer of any message from Kruer.
lie did not mention tho subject to Dr.
Ilille. Ho s-.tid ho was tired, very tired;
he had been five weeks ou the sea and
road traveling constantly and begged
for time iu which to prepare himself to
soport. He said nothing as to the reas
ons for appearing iu Washingtm, hut
asked that he bo permitted to go to his
home in East Liverpool, O., for a few
days to attend to some mutters of busi
ness, which were pressing, aud to rest.
Dr. Hill had no objection. Mr. Ma
crum promised to be back here soon,
perhaps before tho end of tho present
week, aud raid he then would make a
formal report to tho state department.
Leaving Dr. Hill, Mr. Macrum weut to
the consular bureau and secured tho as
sent of Acting Chief Carr to a postpone
ment of the settlement of his accounts
until his next visit to Washington. To
Mr. Carr, also, Mr. Macrum said noth
ing to throw light ou his motives.
As he left the state department he as
sured tho newspaper men who stopped
him that if he had any statement at all
to make to the press (and he was not
sure that he would have), he probably
would make it pubho upon his return to
Washington.
Some of the persons here who were
familiar with his appearance when bo
first went out to the Transvaal, said
that he looked very much brokeu, aud
lacked the vim that formerly character
ized him.
Later he left here for his home iu
Ohio.

AN AMERICAN SHOT AT PONCE.
Arreated by l'orto Itlcan l'ollce For
Leading a 1, and Then Assaulted.
Ponce, P. R.. Feb. 0. During a band
concert on the Plaza Principal, native
policemen attempted to arrest Josep'i
S. Bigelow, Jr., of Boston, on account
of leading a dog. Joseph S. Barkley, a
deputy United States marshal, con
ducted Bigelow to the jail. In the
searching room, it is alleged, the native
police made an attack on Bigelow, who
was entirely unarmed. Finally Police
man Arismcndi shot Bigelow in the
cheek and then fled. The guards at
the outer door permitted him to escape,
but stoppod Felix A. McCarthy, an
American, who was hotly pursuing
Arismendi.
Bigelow was placed in an ambulance
and conveyed to the military hospital.'
At first his condition wan considered
Very critical, but he was bettor the next
lay. The bullet has not yet been lo
cated. Arismindi and Simoupietri were ar
rested. llay-l'uunrefote Treaty Signed,

CHAMBEKLAIN'S DEFENSE.
It Last Aroused to an Attempted Justi
fication of Hie Course, In the
lloune of Common.
Lonkon, Feb. 6. During a debate in
the house of commons. Sir William
Vernon Harcourt said the war was due
to a sharp reversal of British policy
and to heeding the advice of wrong
people
Mr. -'haiuberlaiu then rose amia ap
plause to make his long expected speech
def ndiu ; he government's coarse.
He claimed that the position of Har
court and the opposition was inoongra
ous.
First they said the war was unjust
and oiidmuued the government for that,
then they turned arouud, and now
blame the government for not prosecut
ing the war vigorously enough.
Chamberlain admitted that mistake!
had been mule, bat the government had
houestly hoped for a settlement until
the last moment. These mistakes are
now being rectified. Sooa the country
would have 200,000 men of all arms, in
cluding as many mounted infantry &i
the Boers had. Of the whole for , that
of the Colonials would soon be nearly
one-fourth.
Mr. Chamberlain said that the gov
ernment forces would soon assume tho
original plan of campaign which gave
every promise of suocess. As to the
settlement of the trouble in Soutl
Africa, he promisod that there would
nevoragaiu be a Majuba settlement,
never again would British supremacy
iu South Africa be threatened; never
again would Englishmen there bt
treated as an inferior race.
The war has taught both sides to le
specteach other, and he bolteved the
wouuds would heal iu time aud that a
permanent peace would be 83cured.
Chamberlain's remarks were vigor
ously applauded by the government sud
porters.

OFFEtt OF TAYLOR.
WILLING. TO SUBMIT TROUBLE TO
ARBITRATION.
Specific That Three Men Ho Appointed
by the Member of the United State
Supreme Court, to Kettle the DIA"er
enve In Kentucky.
Frankfort. Ky., Feb. 6. Governor
Taylor made a distinct and positive offer
to submit tho merits of his chum to the
gubernatorial chair of Kentucky to any
three fairmiuded men in the world,
these three men to be selected by tho
United States supreme court. He will
illow them to arbitrate tho case, and
Will abido by their decision. This an
nouncement he made to a correspondent
of The Associated Press, iu his office in
tho executive building. The declara
tion made by Governor Taylor regard
ing arbitration was at once wired by
The Associated Pres correspondent to
Lieutenant Governor John Marshall
and Attorney David W. Fairleifjh, Re
publican members of the political con
ference, held at Louisville.
LorisviLLE, Ky., Feb. 5. Thi ; city is
to be the seat, temporarily at least, oi
the Democratic state government. Gov
ernor Beckham and the rest of his chiel
advisers reached here this mornirg. To
day the Democratic members of the leg
islature met here, and it is purposed to
make Louisville the Democratic head
quarters of the executive and legislative
branches of the state government as
long as the presence of troops keeps
them from Frankfort or until the present
couflict of authority in the state is set
tled. Enough of the Democratic members
of o ich house met here today to form a
quorum. Ne legislation will be at
tempted, but an adjournment from daj
to day will be held pending a settle
ment of the legal questions involved iu
the present dispute between the parties.
General Oust Ionian had already com
mcnicated to Governor Beckham his ac
ceptance of the position of adjutant
general. The general took active pari
in the discussion of this phase of the
plans, and it was said ample arrange
mrnts were made to protect the mem
bers of the Democratic administration
from molestation by Governor Tay
lor's forces.
Whether or not this is to be done
through tho organization of nnothci
state guard has not been im.de clear. Il
is thought, however, that the main reh
auce of the Democrats will be placed, al
least for the present, in the police forct
ot the city and the constabulary of tht
county.

GOVERNMENT OF PHILIPPINES.
First Volume of Cniiiiulaidon' Keport
Transmitted to CoiiKren.
Washington, Feb. 3. The president
transmitted to congress the first volume
of the report of the Philippine commis
sion. The commission announced itself un
qualifiedly iu favor of a government of
the Philippines and analogous to that of
a territory of the United States, with a
government appointed by the president.
They say that it is desirable that the in
habitants ot the archipelago should en
joy a lurge measure of home rule in
local affairs, their towns to enjoy sub
stantially the rights and privileges of
towns in territories.
The provinces should be vested with
substantially functions of a couuty iu a
territory; this system might be applied
to Luzon mid the Viscayan islands at
once aud a beginning might be made on
the coast of Mindanao. The Sulu archi
pelago, calling for special arrangements
with the sultan the commission say,
need not bo considered in this couueo
tiou. The commission favors tho retention
ot the islands. The report contains a
letter from Admiral Dewey to Senator
Lodge, denying Aguiualdo was prom
ised independence.

In llHile ArcimipHslied, Hun' Review
Mild 1'it-t Month i'rolntuly hur
paued All Other.
Nkw York, Feb. 3. R. G. Dun &
Co. 's weekly revie-v of trade issued to
day said in part: This year starts with
much of the year's business already
done, aud all comparisons will prove
misleading if that iaet is not taken into
account. Last year the certainty of
great improvement had come before the
year opened, and there was a rush to
get iu orders before works became
crowded and prices advanced. Thi
year, the works were already crowded
for months ahead in most lines, aud
prices had already advanced so far that
recoil had air end ' commenced in some
branches and w.it thought probable in
others. With otio exception of woolou
manufacture, the chief industries have
lor works already well supplied are
smaller than last year, is not of itself
discouraging. The great burst of specu
lation last year swelled January pay
ments through clearing houses far be
yond those of this year at Neil York,
and such piymeut at other cities also
averaged per business day a shade largei
than this year. But a much greater de
crease must have appeared in transac
tions connected with formation of new
companies.
Wheat rose 1 cent, but soon reacted.
Atlautio exports only 1,460,593 bushels,
flour included, for the week, against 4,
942,430 last year, had more influence
than the decrease in western receipts,
which have been for the week 43 pel
cent and for five weeks 40 per cent less
than last year, while the decrease in At
lautio exports for five weeks has beeu
57 per cent. Pacific exports have been
4,209,31)0 bushels in five weeks, against
3,670,832 last year. The price of corn
is fairly steady, with exports for the
week much smaller than last year.
The iron aud steel iudustry is eo fai
tied up by contracts reaching through
most of tho yea; that the effect of pro
duction exceeding consumption is fell
only in some branches. A little lowei
prices have beeu made for foundry iroi
in considerable transactions, thong I
Bessemer does not yield, but steel bll
lets are offered by some at $3'1 per ton.
Differences between producers and some
of the largest consumers of Fteol block
the market. In plates aud bars conces
sions are still made to secure business
in sheets tho demand is stronger, and iu
rails, structural forms, tiuplates aud
nails prices are held firmly.
Failures for tho week have been 232 in
the United States, against 224 last year,
and 34 in Canada, against 25 last year.
