HIGH PRAISE FOR OUR SOLDIERS. GENERALS OF MERIT. General Breckenridge Defends Treat ment of Natives—Claims They Ex- ercised Great Patience. The annual report of Ceneral J. C. Breckenridge, inspector general of the army, says among other things, that the most serious criticism is in regard to absenteeism, where officers are detachcd and on detached duty, leaving the regiments short of of- ,ficers. Thus, in the Philippines es- pecially, it is found that many com- panies are without captains and the companies in command of new and untried officers. Discussing the American troops and the Philipinos, General Breckenridge says: There has been a good deal of discussion in the public press and elsewhere concerning the treatment of the na- tive Philippinos by the American troops, and some rather sericus charges have Leen brought against the army, which, however, have not been substantiated. The conditions of war in the Philippine Islands have been perhaps unusual, and from rea- sons arising from the conduct of the Phiiippiros then:selves, whe as the authorities agree, are sometimes ex tremely cruel and treacherous. In the conduct of the American army toward them the exercise .of unex- ampled patience is claimed, and the hun:.anity of the troops engaged haz not paraliel in the history of deal- ing with Asiatics. Speaking of the worth of the various generals he has strong words of praise for Merritt, Bates, MacArthur, Hughes, Funston, Young, Smith, Bell, Chaffee, Graut and Baldwin, and adds: When the rewards of service go to men like these the heart of our army is elale. These are not cone half the names, nor ail of them as well known to their fellow countrymen as they de- serve. But these are among those whom I met or ihe results of those whose work I witnessed during the past year. Famous regiments which fought or endured amidst those scenes will cherish the occasion in their regimental traditions. And young men, who hereafter take the oatih to ‘serve their country, will re- call how faithfully and well she was wont to be served when the old rezi- ment first went down to the sea in great ships. The army of the past] has again proved here the mettle of] which it is made, where the naval] and civil authorities have writ their | rames in beld characters among the immortals, and the army of the future js taking step, and the spirit will go marching on still. as always, loyal ard true, and “steadfast to the end.” There seems to be somethinz rathetic as well as majestic in the attitude of the army: it has done and] deserved so well. Unknewn it en-! tered upon its duty there, and but half known it returns, its merits sterling as of yore. The officers of the inspection corps in the Philip- pines subs ially agres that ex-| treme and fr ent cruelty has not] been habi 1 practiced, and. that all well f ded complaints of ex-! cesses have led to trial and punish-; ment of the offenders.

Expert Sent to the Island to Discover Facts Concerning Industry and Finances, After a conference between Secre- taries Hay and Root it was decided to send General Tasker Bliss to Cuba to investigate the industrial situation and the financial prospect in the island. He is an expert on Cuban tariffs and upon his report will large- ly depend the extent of the conces- sions to imports from Cuba in the re- ciprocity treaty that will be present- ed. Our government is willing to grant 20 per cent, but Cuba demands on some articles as high as 70 per cent. The tariff of the United States on all articles produced in Cuba is so high that a 20 per cent reduction will mean much to the island. The pres- ent duty on sugar is about 100 per cent, and a reduction of 20 per cent will give a rebate to Cuba of $20 in every $100 worth of sugar sent to this country. The duty imposed by Cuba on cotton manufactured goods is about 33 1-3 per cent, and the United States manufacturers shipping cot- ton to Cuba under a like 20 per cent rebate would secure an advantage of only about $6 2-3 on each $100 werth of goods. To equalize this difference, it was found necessary to fix the rate of oencessicn on cotton goods going from the United States into Cuba at 60 per cent. The Cubans have not considered the matter from this point of view and that it will he necessary to inform them of the basis of the de- mands of the United States. It is not likely that any greater concessions will be offered Cuba, as the high rate of duty on sugar and tobacco will, with 20 per cent reduction, enable the Cubans to undersell all other foreign- ers or secure greater profits on their products than people of other na- tions. It makes no difference whether or not a treaty is negotiated with Cuba, save on the subject of the Isle of Pines. The Platt amendment be- ing a part of our law, and a part of the Cuban constitution, it operates as a binding proposition, even ir the pro- visions of the amendment are not embodied in a treaty. The United States will secure the coaling sta- tions and Cuba is bound to carry out the provisions of her own constitu- tion.” BAER MAKES REPLY. Denies Jurisdiction of Arbitrators on Recognizing Unicn. Carroll D. Wright, of the Anthra- cite Coal Commission has received the replies of the six signatory par- ties reprasenting the coal operators to the statement of John Mitchell filed with the commission. These replies will be sent to Mr, Mitchell. President Baer, of the Reading Company, reiterates former state- ments. He says his company has no disagreement with employes over the weighing of coal, as the amount is | determined by measurement and not by weight. He also takes the posi- tion that the jurisdiction of the com- mission is limited to the conditions named by the ccal company presi- dents, which exclude the United Mine Workers from any recognition in the proceedings. MOLINEUX COST $500,000. The Most Expensive Criminal Trials Known to Courts. The cost to the state of New York the two trials of Roland B.

President Roosevelt was the prin- cipal speaker at the annual banquet of the Chamber of Commerce, New York, Tuesday. Besides the foreign diplomats the guests of honor em- braced Secretary Root, Secretary Shaw, General MacArthur, Governor Odell and Rear Admiral Barker. The address of the President was followed with close attention. Mr. Roosevelt said: “This body stands for the tri- umphs of peace abroad and at home. I think I can say safely that we have shown by our attitude toward Cuba, by our attitude toward China, that as regards weaker powers our desire is that they may be able to stand alone, and if they will only show themselves willing to deal hcnestly and fairly with the rest of mankind we, on our side, will do all we can to help, not to hinder, them. With the great pow- ers of the world we desire no rivalry that is not honorable to both parties. We believe that the trend of the mod- ern spirit is ever stronger toward peace and friendship as the normal international attitude. We are glad that we are on good terms with all the other peoples of mankind, and no effort on our part shall be spared to secure a continuance of these rela- tions. The voice of the weakling or the craven counts for nothing when he clamors for peace, but the voice of the just man armed is potent. We need to keep in a condition of prepa- ration, especially as regards our navy, not hecause we want war, but Dbe- cause we desire to stand with those whcse plea for peace is listened to with respectful attention. In the prob- lems of labor and capital no patent remedy can be devised for the solu- tion of these grave problems in the industrial world, but they can be solved at all only if we bring to the solution certain gld-time virtues, and if we strive to keep out of the solu- tion some of the most familiar and most undesirable of the tuaits to which mankind has owed untold de- gradation and suffering throughout the ages. Arrogance, suspicion, bru- tal envy of the well-to-do, brutal in- difference toward those who.are not well-to-do, the hard refusal to con- sider the rights of others, the foolish refusal to consider the limits of bene- ficent action. From these and from all kindred vices this Nation must be kept free if it is to remain in its pres- ent position in the forefront of the pecples of mankind. Good will come even out of the present evils if we face them armed with the old homely virtues; if we show that we are fear- less of soul, cool of head and kindly of heart; if, without betraying the weakness that cringes before wrong- doing, we yet show by deeds and words our knowledfe that in such a government as ours each of us must be in very truth his brother’s keeper. The continuance of prosperity de- pends in no small measure upon your sanity and common. sense, upon the way in which you combine energy in acting with conservative refusal to take part in the reckless gambling which is so often bred by, and which so Inevitably puts an end to prosper- ity. You are men of might in the world of American ‘effort; you are spoken of in terms like those used in the long-gone ages when it was said of the Phcenician cities that their merchants were princes. Great is your power and great your responsi- bility.” Ex-President Clevejand de- livered the oration on behalf of the Chamber of Commerce. INVALIDS MUST BE CERTIFIED. Cclorado Railroads Require Descrip- tions From the Doctors. The passenger agents of the Ter- minal Lines Association at Denver, Col., have voted unanimously for the adopticn of a law requiring all in- valid passengers to have certificates from physicians, stating the kind of disease they hava, before boarding trains. The secretary of the associa- tion was instructed to confer with! the city, county and state health offi-| cials as to the form of certificate, and as soon as this is done plans will | be made for putting the agreement, into effect. | 1 Double Life Revealed, { John Davis died at Marion, Ind.,: in the Soldiers’ Home, and two wom-! en put in an appearance, each claim- ing to be his wife.

LABOR UNIONS’ GRENTEST PERIL WARNING FROM GOMPERS. Quarrels Over Jurisdiction Fraught With Possibilities of Working- men Fighting Each Other. President Samuel Gompers, at the opening of the Federation of Labor at New Orleans, La. November 13, delivered an impassioned warning that the future of trade and labor as- semblies was seriously endangered by the conflicting claims of jurisdic- tion made by different bodies. TUn- less such things were approached in calmness and handled with mecdera- tion, he declared, the labor organiza- tions would soon be involved in a conflict which would dwarf all the struggles in which labor organiza- tions have been engaged. The mat- ter, unless checked, would come to a point where laboring men would fight with laboring men from behind barricades in the manner in which men deal with their mortal foes. His warning of danger and his counsels of peace and moderation met with a hearty response from the delegates. Ie said that charters were issued during the year to 14 National and international unions, six state branches, 127 central labor union, and 877 local and Federal unions. The 3,500 new local unions that have been added embrace 300,000 members. Ha asserted that the great preponder- ance of the strikes have been for higher wages and reductions in the hours of labor, and these have been largely successful. One organization reported that it has increased the wages of its members fully $1,000,000 per annum, while there are few whose membership working more than eight hours per day have not secured a reduction in their working time, and the organizations largely having the eight-hour workday have extended the Dbeneficience of that rule. Concerning the anthracite min- ers’ strike in Pennsylvania, he said that in the- organization of the com- mission by President Roosevelt a great moral victory has been won for the miners, for organized labor and for humanity, and that material ad- vantage is inevitable. Referring to a recent speech of President Eliot, of Harvard university, he said: ‘No man as an educator who poses as a strike breaker is fit for the position he holds. Compared te such a man Benedict Arnold was a martyr and Judas Iscariot a saint.” The report of Secretary Frank Morrison covered the 11 months ended with Septem- her 30. The Federation's aggregate income for this time was $144,408 and the expenditures $119,086. Of the receipts, $20,423 consisted of con- tributions to the defense fund. The average membership is shown by the per capita tax to be 1,025,300, a gain of four fold in the past six years. Reports from international iocal unions show that there were 1,558 strikes, in which 412,871 persons were involved. Out of that number, 352,967 were benefited and 14,016 were not. The total cost ‘of the strikes was $2,729,604. In the Feder- ation there were 217 strikes, of which 131 were won, 48 compromised and 27 lost. The report submitted by Treasurer John B. Lennon showed the total receipts of the order for the year to have been $152,312 and expenses $120,086, INDIAN COAL TRUST. Capital $25,000,000—Control All Mines in the State.

Smith Tally and J. C. Kol- son, of Terre Haute; A. M. Ogle, of Indianapolis; S. K. Seifert of Chicago and J. M. McClelland, of Brazil. The last three named constituted the committee which secured options on all the coal mines in the counties of Vigo, Greene and Sullivan, It is an- nounced that the project includes a company to be capitalized at $25,- 000,000. The last details are said to have been attended to and the or- ganization completed. PROF. KOCH CONTRADICTED. Tuberculosis Can Be Transmitted From Animal to Men. Assistant Secretary of Agriculture Brigham, speaking before the Na- tional Grange at Lansing, Mich., said that the department did not accept Prof. Koch’s theory that tuberculosis could not be transmitted from ani- mals to men. Experiments now mak- ing indicate that the disease can be very readily transmitted when the conditions of the subjects are suita- ble. Guinea pigs and monkeys easily get tuberculosis from being kept in the same stalls with infected cows. DEWEY AFLOAT ON DEC. 1. West Indies.

Leopold of Belgium Mark for Anam chist Bullets—Treatment of Prin- cess Stephanie the Cause. King iZdward, of England, had been marked for assassination by Gennera Rubino, who subsequently changed his mind and made an attempt upon the life of King I.eopold, of Belgium. In his examination before the maz- istrate, Rubino, at Brussels, Belgium, declared that he selected King Leo- pel for his attack on account of his majesty’s inhuman conduct toward his daughter, Princess Stephanie, at the time of her mother’s death, and he also wished to show to the anar- chists in London, who doubted his loyalty, that while they only talked he acted. Me would have killed King Edward, he added, but for the strong feeling of the English people In favor of the monarchy. The minis- try of the interior at Rome has es- tablished the identity of the as- sailant of King Leopold. His name is Gennero Rubino, scribed in their records as an ad- vanced Socialist. He was condemn- ed to a long term of imprisonment for stealing at Milan in 1893, but he cffected his escape to England, where he is supposed to have imbibed his ararchist principles. His father wad a patriotic communal councilor, but Rubino, while still serving in the army, was condemned to five years’ detention for writing an oifensive newspaper article. Since leaving Italy he has resided in Scotland and England. Some years ago he was accused of treachery by his anarchist friends ana expelled from their ranks. The Pope, King Victor Em- manuel and Premier Zanardelli, have sent telegrams of congratulation to the King of the Belgians on his es- cape from assassination. It appears that Rubinc has a brother who is also an anarchist. His father fought with distinction in the Ifalian war ior independence, CABLE FLASHES. According to the Tribuna Italy pur- poses to make an international mat- ter of the arrest in Boston, Mass., of Mascagni. Destruction of the coffee crop of Guatemala by volcanic eruption has reduced that country to a worse plight than Martinique.

A recent fire at Kwelin Kewangsi, China, destroyed several hundred houses, and many natives were burn- ed to death. 'The fire burned houses all around the Christian Alliance mis- sion, which was unscathed. The re- sult is that many Chinese have since come to the missionary to be bap- tized. = Special dispatches received at Lon- don, England from Madrid say the governor of Tetuan, at the head of 1,000 men, marched out dgainst the : Kabyle insurgents and, after five | hours’ fighting, succeeded in routing ! the tribesmen, According to advices received at Auckland, New Zealand, from Alpa, Samoa, via Tangia, a volcanic erup- tion has broken out in Savaii, the westernmost and largest island of the Samoan group.
