is not in session now to forbid the

This is the sort of "exploitation"
which will be attempted in the
Philippines by men who may have
tho favor of the administration.
It was stated recently, on the au
thority of an agent of the Agricul
tural Department, that two-thirds
of. the land in the Philippines was
vested in the Spanish sovereignty
and would revert to the United
States. What an opportunity this

Canteens Hot Abolished.
The Secretary of War recently
requested the opinion of the Attorney-General
as to whether sec
tion 17 of the army reorganization
act, passed at the last session of
Congress, prohibits the continuance
of the sale of intoxicating drinks
by the government in the canteen
sections of the post exchanges
which are organized and maintain
ed at the various army posts and
encampments throughout the Unit
ed States;
The Attorney-General, in his re
ply, decides that the section in
question does not prohibit the con
tinuance of tho sale of intoxicating
drinks through the canteen sec
tions, as heretofore organized and
carried on, exoopt that no officer
or enlisted , man can be detailed
from duty in the canteen -section
to do the selling.
Section 17 of the army reorgani
zation act is as follows:
"No officer or private soldier
shall be detailed to sell intoxicat
ing drinks, as a bartender or other
wise, in any post exchange or can
teen, nor shall any other person be
required or allowed to sell such
liquors in any encampment or fort
or on any premises used for mili
tary purposes by the United States ;
and the Secretary of War is hereby
directed to issue such general or
der as may be necessary to carry
the provisions of this section into
full force and effect."
The Attorney -General holds that
"the regulation of the post ex
changes and canteens being within
the power of the Secretary of War,
the act means that he shall, by or
der, modify the regulations upon
that subject so as to make them
eonsitteat with the .provisions of
this act. To that end it will be re
quisite that he shall determine the
question of the persons who may
be employed in the post exchanges,
and such other conditions and re
quirements in connection there
with as his good judgment may
dictate."
The decision of the Attorney
General on the army canteen legis
lation of the last- Congress has
stirred the temperance and relig
ious elements to activity, and to
night the superintendent of legis
lation of the National Woman's
Christian Temperance Union and
the head of the -reform bureau an
nounced that they would not sub
mit without a fight to the interpre
tation put upon the law by the Attorney-General,
but would appeal
to the President himself and would
not rest. satisfied until Mr. McKin-
ley had acted. They indicated a
purpose to begin an agitation of
the matter in the churches and to
have them exert pressure on the
President.
Sang Hymns to City Council. ;
Chattanooga, Tenn., April 5.-
Onr hundred of the religious wo
men of Chattanooga last nignt sang
hymns in the city council chamber
during a meeting of the aldermanio
board. - The scene was unique and
inspiring. ;
During a recent revival meeting
conducted by Rev. "Sam" Jones
the council, through the influence
of the religious element, passed an
ordinance requiring the saloons to
close at 10 p. m. and not to open
before 5 a. m. Recently there has
been great pressure upon the al
dermen to amend the ordinance and
to fix the closing hour at midnight.
It was reported the ordinance would
be so amended last night. v
While the council meeting was
in progress a large number of wo
men filed into the council chamber.
One of them was given the privi
lege ofthe floor and made an ap
peal that the ordinance be not
amended.' After her address the
further "indulgence" of the coun-
Lcil was asked, and, led by Mrs. L.
B. Wilson, the ladies sang "Mand
Ud for Jesus" "Rock of Ages"
and' other songs. The aldermen
were impressed. No j motion to
amend the ordinance was made.

For a War Against War.
Boston, April 6. Among the
communications received by the
United Society of Christian En
deavor recently in connection with
its proposition for a "War Against
war rand Peace by Arbitration,"
aro two from former United States
Presidents, Grover Cleveland and
Benjamin Han ison. I
Ex-President Cleveland wrote:
"The members -and the friends of
the Society of Christian Endeavor
have never entered upon an under
taking so practical and so noble as
the effort they are now making to
secure an abandonment of war as
a means for tho settlement of in
ternational differences ; and if
there is any substance to the claim
that our institutions and the traits
that i characterize us as a people
tend to national elevation and
Christianization, it is eminently
proper that our country should be
in the lead in any movement in the
interests of peace." ; H
Ex-President Harrison's letter
says: "1? or. my self, and much more
for the great body of its citizen
ship, I express the desire of Amer
ica for peace with the whole world.
It would, haye been vain to sug
gest the pulling down of block
houses or family disarmament; to
the settlers on a hostile Indian
frontier. They would have told
you rightly that the conditions
were not rips. And so it may be,
and is, probably, true that a full
application of the principle is not
presently possible, the devil still
being unchained.
"It is by a spirit of love forbear
ance mastering the civil institu
tions and governments oi tne world
that we shall approach universal
peace and adopt arbitration meth
ode of settling disputes."
A Mare's Nest Found.
Hono Kong, April 6. The Fili
pino junta here has issued another
of the extraordinary statements
which have marked the newspaper
campaign directed from Hong Kong
by tho agents of Aguinaldo.
In the present instance the Fili
pino agents say they have obtained
their "information" from American
sources at Manna, iney assert
the existence of "mysterious in--
trigues" on the part of the Vaticaa,
Gen. Wesley Merritt, President
McKinley, Gen. Elwell S. Otis and
Archbishop Ireland "leading to the
latter'S journey to Rome." Con
tinuing, the Filipino statement
"The Paulist Fathers' actions
prior to the fall of Manila were
suspicious. Now, in conjunction
with Archbishop Nozaledas, who! is
intimate with General Otis, they
are trying to procure tne former
ascendancy of the church in the
Philippines, hence they are sus
taining General Otis, who, asi a
Catholic, has refused to obey the
Washington orders and transfer
the command of his" force to Gen
eral Lawton, because he wishes ;to
remain in power and assist the
church to recover its real estate.
"The policy of the Paulistsjis
more subtle than that of tho Jesuits,
and unless they are promptly re
called they will work further 'mis
chief. The Philippines are a valu
able hunting ground for the church,
hence the Titanic efforts to main
tain; its supremacy."
Shot Wife, Baby, and Self.
Albany, Ga., April 5. -Walter
R. Jackson, his wife, and their
three-months-old babe were found
dead in bed this, morning. Jack
son and his wife pach had a pistol
shot in the head, while the child
was shot through the body. Death
was evidently instantaneous in each
case, it is evident tnat uacKson
first shot his wife and child and
then himself. The deed was done
during the night. The only other
occupant of the house was Mrs. E.
E. Richardson, Jackson's grand
mother, who was not awakened by
the shots. li
Jackson was a young business
man of high standing, and married
Jaaie Godwin, a leading society
girl, a little over two years ago.
Until recently he was cashier and
bookkeeper for a warehouse firm.
It is supposed he brooded over the
loss of his position and killed his
lamny ana nimseia in a nt on in

Death of a Leper in Ohio.
Junction City, O., April 7.
Hannah Garey, aged twenty-two
years, the older of the two Garey
sisters who have been afflicted with
supposed leprosy for the last sev
enteen; years, died "at their home,
three r miles from here, last evening
after two weeks of intense suffering,
the result of the dread disease in
vading the vital organs- probably
the heart and lungs. About two
months ago the Garey sisters were
examined by a prominent specialist
on that class of diseases from Chi
cago, who diagnosed their disease
as genuine leprosy. I

Is Bryan's Star .Waning?
Washington, April 7. Comment
in political circles over the spring
elections in the West has been
quite animated today. The result
shows a condition of public senti
ment which foreshadows conse
quences of importance not only to
parties but to individuals. The
Republicans say the Democratic
party of Illinois is split up into
fragments, and the Democrats re
tort by asserting that a similar
condition exists as to the Republi
can party in Ohio. 7 ' .
The friends of Mri Bryan reluc
tantly admit that his star is visibly
becoming paler, and no one was
sufficiently enthusiastic as to claim
from the present outlook that" his
chances of securing a two-third
vote in the next national Demo
cratic convention are very brilliant.
As to Altgeld, of Illinois, he may
still have some little power for mis
chief, but it is ' believed his star
has permanently set.
There is much talk about combi
nations to be formed in both the
Democratic and Republican parties
with a view of controlling the pres
idential 1 nominations next year.
Some of the theories are both in
teresting and ingenious. They
should not, though, be accepted with
too much confidence, as public sen
timent is at times very changeable,
and the situation next year may be
altogether different from present
appearances. 1
Spaniards Help Filipinos.
Madrid, April 6 -The minister
of war has received information
that a large number of Spanish
officers and other prisoners in the
hands of the Filipinos have enter
ed the service of the latter.
Among the prisoners were some
chiefs of the Spanish general staff
and artillery. In Spanish military
circles this explains the military
organization of the ' Filipinos
against the Americans, which hith
erto has been inexplicable. The
following semi-official note Is pub
lished by a journal friendly to
Premier Silvela:
"A rumor has reached the gov
ernment to the effect that certain
general officers who where thought
to be in captivity have come to an
arrangement with the rebels. The
government has no proof that the
statement is exact, but if it were
so everybody will understand that
the fault lies with the Americans,
for they, from the beginning, pre
vented any negotiations for the
liberation . of tho prisoners and
placed the latter in the position of
having to die of hunger or find
some means of life. Under such
circumstances it would not be sur
prising that individually some pris
oners may have entered the service
of the Tagaios."
