Senator Hoar Eulogized the
Philippine Rebels.
ROLL CALL OF DEAD STATESMEN
Home Debated the Questions of Armor-Plate
nnd Government
Building- of Wnralilpn.
WASHINGTON. April 17. For more
than three hours today. Hoar, the senior
Senator from Massachusetts, occupied the
attention of the Senate with a speech In
opposition to the policy of "imperialism"
upon which he maintained this Govern
ment had embarked. As prepared, the ad
dress was SO.OOO words In length, but Hoar
omitted much of It, owlns to an Incipient
attack of la grippe, from which he was
suffering. He spoke for three hours, and,
-while It was a tremendous strain upon
him, the more Important passages of the
argument were delivered with force and
vigo.
The speech was brilliantly written, was
Illuminated with splendid rhetorical fig
ures, and was rich with citations from
history. One of the notable parts of tho
address was tho eulogy of Agulnaldo.
Hoar did not liken the insurgent leader
to Washington, as has been done hereto
fore, but to Kossuth. Oom Paul, Joubert
and Nathan Hale. In statecraft, he Uk
ened Agulnaldo and his associates in the
leadership of the Filipinos to the best
minds ever produced in the Asiatic race,
a race which handed down to us "the
Scriptures of the Old and New Testa
ments., the poetry of David, the eloquence
of Isaiah, the wisdom of Solomon and
the profound philosophy of Paul."
One of the most effective paris 01 .mo
speech was his fancied roll-call of some
of the distinguished statesmen of the
United States on the question of the re
tention of the Philippines. He began with
George Washington and closed with Will,
lam McKlnley, each in a sentence giving
a reason for his vote. Every vote was tn
the negative, except that of Aaron Burr,
who voted "Yes." and said: "You are
repeating my buccaneering expedition
down the Mississippi. I am to be vindi
cated at last." When the name of Will
iam McKlnley was called, he replied:
"Thero has been a cloud before my vision
for a moment, but I see clearly now: I
go back to what I said two years ago:
Forcible annexation Is criminal aggres
sion; governments derive their Just pow
ers from the consent of the governed,
not of some of them, but of all of them
I will stand with the fathers of tho Re
public I will stand with the 'founders of
the Republican party."
The effect was dramatic As Hoar pro.
nounced his peroration, the stillness in
the chamber was Intense. Applause swept
over the galleries, but it was hushed
quickly by the president pro tern.
The second day's debate upon the Naval
appropriation bill In the House today was
confined closely to the subject-matter of
the bill, and was, as a rule, devoid of in
teresting features. The questions of armor-plate
and the building of warships In
Government yards, as yesterday, attract
ed roost attention. The general debate
was closed today, and tomorrow the bill
will be read under the flve-rolnute rule.
THE DAY IX DETAIL.
Senator llonr'n Speech on the Philip
pine Qnention.
WASHINGTON. April 17. A bill was
passed by the Senate granting to sol
diers of the Mexican war pensions of tVt
a month In certain cases.
After transaction of the routine busi
ness. Hoar (Rep. Macs.) addressed the I
Senate on the Philippine question. Intense J
Interest was manifested In the question
by Senators. Hoar took for his text the
resolution of Bcvcrldge (Rep. Ind.), de
claring that the Philippine Islands are
territory belonging to the United States,
and the United States must govern the
archipelago.
Hoar spoke with deliberation, but
scarcely with his usual forcefulness. He
requested his colleagues not to Interrupt
him In the course of his speech. Indicating
that the state of his health rendered It
undesirable that he should enter Into n
running debate. Hoar told of the glory ot
the conflict with Spain, and a victory In
the Interest of liberty. He praised Presi
dent McKlnley's course at that time, say
injr that. In his Judgment, he was the best
beloved President who ever sat In the
chair at Washington. Continuing, he
said:
"The American people, so far as I know,
were all agreed that their victory brought
with It the responsibility of protecting a
liberated people from the cupidity of any
other power, until they could establish
their own Independence In freedom nnd
honor. I stand here today to plead with
you not to abandon principles that havo
brought those things to pass. I Implore'
you to keep to a policy that has made our
country great, that has made the Repub
lican party great, that has made the
President great. If, when we made tho
treaty of peace we had adhered to the pur
pose we declared when we declared war;
if we had dealt with the Philippine Islands
as we have dealt and expect to deal with
Cuba, we would havo escaped the loss of
0000 brave soldiers, and another thousand
of wrecked and shattered lives, and the
expenditure of hundreds of millions of dol
lars: and what Is far worse than all. the
trampling under foot of cherished Ideals.
"I do not expect to accomplish anything
for liberty In the Philippines In any way
but through the Republican party. Upon
it tne late of tbese Islands for years to
come Is to depend. I cannot look with any
favor upon Bryan as an alternative."
Touching upon the constitutionality of
the question at Issue, Hoar said:
"I hold that this acquisition of territory,
holding and governing, can be only a
means for a Constitutional end. And I
maintain that you can no more hold and
govern territory than you can hold and
manage cannon or fleets for any other
Constitutional end."
Hoar traversed the constitutional Inter
national field of the Philippine contro
versy, covering much of the same ground
that he and others have covered hereto
fore Adverting to the authority to be found
In tho Declaration of Independence for
expansion. Hoar declared:
"There Is expansion enough In It, but It
Is the expansion ot freedom, and not of
despotism; of life, not of death. Never
was such growth In oil human history as
that from the seed Thomas Jefferson
planted. It has covered the continent.
It has taken In South America. It Is rev
olutionizing Europe. It is the expansion
of freedom. It differs from your tinsel,
pinchbeck, pewter expansion, as the
growth .of a healthy youth Into a strong
man differs from the expansion of an ana
conda when he swallows his victim. Ours
Is the expansion of Thomas Jefferson;
yours Is the expansion of Aaron Burr.
It is destined to as short a life and to a
like fate. In every accession of territory
this country ever made, we recognized
fully the doctrine of the consent of tne
governed, and the doctrine that territory
so acquired must be held to be made Into
states. You have tried governing men of
other races than your own at home for a
hundred years. You have dealt with the
Indian; you have dealt with the negro,
dose at hand, knowing all about them.
And you now go forth to lay your yoke on
10.000.000 of them. I suppose you feel en
couraged by your success. They are 10,
000.000, more than 7000 miles away, of whom
you know nothing. You go forth Jauntily
and boastlngly, as Louis Napoleon went to
meet his doom at Sedan."
Hoar discussed at great length the Fili
pino rebellion and the causes, in his opin
ion, which led, up to It He made an ear
pest and vigorous defense of the Fili
pinos, especially of Agulnaldo, who, he de-
clared, "was brave, honest and patriotic"
In tho course of his eulogy of Agulnaldo
he said:
"He deserves to be remembered with
that small band who have given life and
everything dearer than life to their coun
try In a losing cause. He shall live with
Kossuth, with Oom Paul, -with Joubert,
with Emmett. with Egtnont and Horn,
with Nathan Hale, with Warren, with all
the great martyrs of history whose blood
has been the seed of the cause of liberty."
Hoar maintained his well-known posi
tion that the Filipinos had achieved their
Independence: that the United States had
made them Its ally and was bound to
recognize their Independence, and that
they had proved themselves fit for Inde
pendence and capable of self-government.
As one bit of proof of their statecraft. ne
declared:
"The state papere of Agulnaldo, the dis
cussion of the laws of nations by his
Attorney-General, the masterly appeal of
MabinI, are products of the Asiatic mind.
They are not unworthy of the Asiatic
mind, tho vehicle through which came to
us the scriptures of the Old and New Tes
taments, the poetry of David, the elo
quence of Isaiah, the wisdom of Solomon
and the profound philosophy of PauL"
The Senator presented an elaborate de
fense of the Filipinos against the charge
that they were responsible for the pres
ent war, fully Justifying their action in
reslmlng the American troops.
Ao an illustration of what he would do
with the Philippines, Hoar said:
"I -would declare that we would not take
these islands to govern them against their
wlIL I would reject a cession of sover
eignty which Implies that sovereignty may
be bought and eold and delivered without
the consent of the people. I would re
quire all foreign governments to keep out
of those Islands. I would offer to the
people of the Philippines our help In
maintaining order until they have a rea
sonable opporturJty to establish a govern
ment of their own. I would aid them by
advice. If they dcslro It, to set up a free
and Independent government. I would In
vite all the great powers of Europe to
unite tn an agreement that that inde
pendence shall not bo interfered with. I
raM Hf.ol.-ir! that th United States will
enforce the same doctrine as applicable to
the Philippines that wedeclared os to Mex
ico ond Haytl and tne soum American
Republics. I would then. In a not distant
future, leave them to work out their own
salvation, as every nation on earth, from
the beginning of time, has wrought out
Its own salvation."
In the course of his remarks. Hoar quot
ed a paragraph from a recent speech by
Tillman (Dem. S. . In which the latter
had said that the people of tho South had
ehot negroes, stuffed ballot-noxw ana
nnally had taken from tne negro mo
rights granted by the Hth and ISth amend
ments. Tillman rose to interrupt him, but
Hoar declined to yield, saying:
1 have alluded to the senator irom
South Carolina only to quote his own
words and to say that he Is beyond all
question one of the most powerful and
conspicuous leaaers 01 xno uemocram.
party. I take It that the Senator does not
consider that as an aspersion." (Laugh
ter.) Hoar spoke for three hours and 10 min
utes. Much of his speech, which was
5000 words In length, was not delivered,
the Senator's physical condition not en
abling him to endure the strain. As Hoar
concluded, applause swept over the gal
leries. Many of his colleagues, particu
larly those on the Democratic eide, con
gratulated him.
Consideration was resumed of the Alas
kan civil code bill, the pending question
being the amendment offered by Hans
brough (Rep. N. D.) as to the alien loca
tion, holding and transfer of mining
claims. Spooner (Rep. Wis.). In an ex
tended legal argument, vigorously oppocf
the amendment. He maintained that
nllene had nmple authority to locate min
ing clalmfl In territories of the United
States nnd pass a good title to them. He
protested against the proposition that
cltlms heretofore located and assigned t
American citizens by the locators should
be rendered null nnd void by act of Con
gress, and urged that matters In contro
versy should be determined Dy tne courts.
Carter (Rep. Mont.). In charge of the
bill, announced his opposition to some por
tions of the Hansbrough amendment, and
offered, as a eubstltute for It. one which,
ho said, would protect the citizens of the
United States In the location of mining
claims and give them the flrst right to
locate them In territory of the United
States.
Without reaching a conclusion, tho Sen
ate went Into executive session, and. at
4:55 P. M., adjourned.
In the Honse.
Without preliminary business, the House
todny resumed consideration of the naval
appropriation bill. Dayton (Rep. W. Va.),
a member of the naval committee, was
the first speaker. He contended that the
naval programme outlined In the bill was
not an extravagant one He said It was
not as liberal as It should have been, and
predicted that larger appropriations would
be required In tho future. He opposed the
building of warships In Government yard.
Wheeler (Dem. Ky.) asked If there was
not a lobby to defeat the proposition to
build ships In Government yards.
"I never heard of such a lobby," replied
Dayton. "The only lobby I have seen was
the lobby of naval constructors. If It could
be called a lobby, urging In favor of the
proposition I oppose."
Dayton also opposed the establishment o
a Government plate factory. The Gov
ernment had as well go Into the produc
tion of any other articles which it must
buy, he said.
Vandlver (Dem. Mo.), also a member ot
the naval committee, who signed the mi
nority report, advocated a Government
armor factory, nnd tho building of ships
In Government yards.
Fitzgerald (Dem. N. Y.) argued In favor
of building ships In Government yards.
Wheeler, a member of the naval com
mittee, concluded the debate for the day.
He criticised severely the rule ot th
House which prohibited roembem from
making public on the floor what was done
and said behind committee doors, and de
clared himself In favor of compelling com
mittees to open their doors to the press.
The most vicious legislation was hatched
behind closed doors. He had no insinu
ation to make against the committee of
which ho was & member, he said, but he
thought the practice a bad one. He also
opposed the appointment Of men with
special Interests to 6crve on committees.
Their deslro to serve their constituents,
he said, outweighed their duty to their
country.
Wheeler said he was opposed on con
viction to a Government armor-plate fac
tor, and the building of ships In Govern
ment yards, but when It came to surren
dering somo ot his convictions or submit
ting to hlghwny robbery, he would let
somo of the former go. He was convinced
from what he had been able to learn that
the profit on armor-plate was from 150 to
200 per cent. Wheeler said he had In his
possession a letter to prove that Krupp
armor could te produced cneapcr than
Harveylzcd armor, but he was not at lib
erty to uso It.
Wheeler created something of a sensa
tion by expressing the opinion "that an
officer In the uniform of the United
States" was responsible for the armor
plate trust. He did not name the officer,
and war not questioned as to who ha
meant. The general debate was then
closed!
A Joint resolution was adopted authoriz
ing the Secretary of the Interior to ex
hibit the printing relics at the New York
Printing Exposition. May 2 to June 2.
At 5:20 P. M the House adjourned.

THE NEW HAWAIIAN BILL
AX AGREEMENT REACHED DY THB
CONFEREES.
Honae Measure Decided Upon With
Several Amendments Provisions
r
for the Judiciary.
WASHINGTON. April 17. After ex
tended meetings, unanimous agreement
was reported today by the House and Sen
ate conferees on the Hawaiian government
bill. The Senate conferees yielded to the
House measure, which passed as a suhstl
tuto for the Senate bill as a whole, al
though a number of amendments wero
made. In the main, the form of govern
ment as finally determined upon Is that
provided by tho House.
Tho chief amendments are providing a
district court instead of the Federal court
organized under general laws, and tho
striking out of the House provision, pro
viding for one year as the time for ap
plying the coasting laws to Hawaii. Tho
prohibition of saloons In Hawaii, as pro
vided by the House bill. Is retained In a
modified form. In effect leaving the mat
ter to local option. Tho House provisions
as to tho land laws ,are retained. Includ
ing the amendment of Representative
Nowlands, of Nevada, restricting the
amount of land to bo held by a corpora
tion to 1000 acres. The other Newlands
amendment, providing for a committee to
Investigate the labor question In Hawaii,
is changed so that Commissioner of Labor
Wright will conduct the inquiry. The ap
pointment of Circuit Judges, which was
the subject of earnest difference, was
finally decided by leaving the appointment!
with the President.
Complete Form of Government.
Tho bill establishes & complete form of
Government for the Islands, with a Gov
ernor and other executive officers, a Leg
islature of two branches and a Judicial
branch, consisting of a Supreme Court,
Circuit Court and inferior courts. The
bill provides that Hawaii shall be reprv
sented In Congress by a delegate, who
shall have a seat In the House of Repre
sentatives, with a right to debate, but not
a vote. Tho delegate to Congress is to
be chosen at an election of the people.
Thero Is no tariff provision In tho bill, as
the tariff laws of the United States aro
extended over the Island and the Territory
of Hawaii is specifically made a "customs
district of the United States." with port
of entry at Honolulu, Hllo; Mahukona and
Kahulul.
As to the crown lands, which have been
a source of some controversy. It Is pro
vided: That the portion of the public domain
heretofore known as crown lands Is here
by declared to have been, on August 1!.
19S, and prior thereto, tho property of
the Hawaiian Government, and to be free
and clear from any trust of or concerning
the same, and from all claim of any nature
whatsoever upon the rents, lffiues and
profits thereof. It shall be subject to
alienation and other uses, as may be pro
vided by law."
The Chinese on the island aro given a
year to obtain certificates of residence,
but the conferees struck out the amend
ment Inserted by Representative DeAr
mond, of Missouri, providing that "all
Chinese and other Asiatics" arriving since
the island was acquired by the United
States shall depart within one year or
else be deported by tho Government. The
latter provision was omitted In view of the
belief that tho Japanese have secured a
treaty status In Hawaii, and their forci
ble deportation by the United States would
Invite a. serious and needless breach with
Japan.
COMPLAI.NTS FROM TOAXSVAAt.
HI Treatmertt of American Citizens
In Kroner' Republic.
WASHINGTON, April 17. Tho President
today transmitted to the House a reply
to the House resolution of inquiry, asking
for copies of letters on file at the State
Department from citizens of the United
States resident In the South African Re
public. The letters called for date from
January 1, 1KSJ. Secretary Hay, In his
letter to the President, Inclosing the cor
respondence, fays:
"Tho only complaint within the descrip
tion of the resolution, which has been di
rectly filed In the department, is that ot
R. E. L. Brown, who. July 15, 1S99, pre
ferred a claim against the South African
Republic In the sum ot JUSlISt, on ac
count of alleged Illegal refusal to renew
a mining lease. The other complaints
of the described character have been
transmitted to the Department of State by
the United States Consul at Pretoria, with
whom they were lodged."
The first complaint In this correspond
ence consisted of a letter of ex-Consul
Macrum under the date of January 6, 119,
to Assistant Secretary Hill, transmitting
the complaint of Dr. H. A. Loeser that
he was not permitted to practice medicine
In Johannesburg; in fact, wrs forced to
abandon a laige and lucrative practice
because of the action of the medical au
thorities. Ass stant Stcretary Crld er re
plied under date of February 18, 18S9, that
any country had the rlr-ht to prescribe the
qualifications of medical prjctltloners, and
If Dr. Loeser did not see fit' to comply
with the requirements, the department
saw no ground for action. September 11,
1S'.9, Mr. Cridler forwarded the attesta
tion by the State of New York of a li
cense to Dr. Loeser to practice, hoping it
would be of service In securing his regis
tration as a physician.- Extended corre
spondence wltn S'ate Secretary Ktltz, but
without apparent definite results, fol
lowed. Assistant Secretary Crldlcr wrote to
Consul Macrum March IS, 1SS9, approving
a demand made for the Immediate return
of property taken from Nelson Thompson,
but directing that no further decisive ac
tion b; taken until the facts .were learned
and reported. April 1, Mr. Macrum wrote
that "certainly a. halt should be called
on such action, especially to American
citizens." A letter from Thompson, the
claimant, to Mr. Macrum, states that Jie
will appeal to the South African League
tor assistance, it no other redress Is
given.
July 6, last, Mr. Macrum wrote of a
spirited controversy with the Acting For
eign Secretary, In which the latter apolo
gized for the action of a Field Cornet
against an American citizen, Joseph F.
Gezzam. The latter, on seeking to regis
ter, was told that he must state his choice
between serving the South African Re
public or Groat Britain In caso of war.
Ho declined, and the Field Cornet at
tempted to coerce him, finally putting
Gezzam down as unwilling to serve the
Republic and notifying him that. "In case
of war, all neutrals would be driven out of
the country." Foreign Secretary Grobler
later wrote an apology ana condemnation
of Field Cornet Fouries course. Mr. Ma
crum writes that "such an example will
be made of the erring Field Cornet that
in the future men In that office will be
decidedly careful In their actions, espe
cially toward Americans." A later letter
from Foreign Secretary Grobler Is given,
explaining the affair In detail and ex
pressing regret.
August 21, last, Mr. Macrum cabled Sec
retary Hay that "over 1000 Americans are
liable to bo Impressed Into service, in case
of war, which appears Imminent. Com
munication will bo destroyed. Strong rep
resentations should be made by this Gov
ernment Immediately, to protect life, prop
erty and the dignity of American citi
zens." August .23. Acting Secretary Adee
replied, by cablo as follows: "If It be
comes necessary, protest against Impress
ment of American citizens found In Trans
vaal Territory into military service, defen
sive or offensive, against any civilized
power, unless such citizens have exercised
I political privileges and assumed political
borne good results, as a decree soon fol
lowed forbidding the commandeering of
aliens.
THERE WAS HO DECISION.
Fast Flsht Between McGoTern and
White at Chicago.
CHICAGO, April "l-Tommy- White, of
Chicago, went six fast rounds with Terry
McGovern, of Brooklyn, tonight, finished
strong, and had the best of the last round.
By an agreement of the principals, no de
cision was to be rendered If both men
wore on their feet at the end of the sixth
round. McGovern would probably have
received the decision if one had been ren
dered, as he was on the aggressive from
start to finish. '
Though McGovern set a terrlflc pace In
the opening round. White was very cool
and confident. In one ot Terry's rushes
Tommy went to the floor from a hard left
on the head. -White took the limit, but
came up strong. A moment later McGov
ern swung his right and left, missing
both, and fell to the floor from the force
of his blows. He was up Immediately,
and wrestled White to the floor. When
Tommy came up, ho landed a right on
Terry's ear. A left hook on the chin
dropped White as the gong sounded.
Terry continued to rush In the second,
and again Tommy went to the floor,
Terry's right and left on the face and two
lefts on the chin doing the business. In
this round Terry put a hard left on
White's eye. breaking the skin. The
wcund bled badly throughout the follow,
lng rounds. White made a better showing
In the third round, landing several blows,
but Just before the bell McGovern landed
a hard right on the stomach that put
White down for a five count.
Terry continued to set the pace In the
fourth round, putting in a perfect shower
of blows that kept Tommy constantly
breaking ground. At the close ot the
round White landed a -left hook on the
face, a right on the Jaw, and followed
with two left Jabs on Terry's mouth. In
the fifth round Terry went at his man
like a whirlwind, and, though White was
staggered by the repeated swings on his
head, he recovered and returned several
hard ones. A hard right on-Tommy's nose
brought the blood. Then Terry stabbed
the sore eye twice. At the bell Tommy
was bleeding badly, and hU seconds gave
him whisky.
McGovern opened the closing round with
a rush, but fought wildly and missed most
of his blows. Tommy finally stood and
put a hard left on McGovern's Jaw, send
ing him back as he came In. McGovern
put a hard left on Tommy's mouth and a
hard right uppercut on the Jaw, which
straightened him up. Again he rushed,
but received the same, dose He tried it
again, but got another uppercut, and the
crowd cheered wildly as Tommy stabbed
the Brooklyn boy three times with his left
in tho -face. McGovern fought wildly,
trying for a knockout. Tommy danced
out of the way, nnd sent Terry's head
back with a stiff left and uppercut with
his right. Whito then Jabbed five straight
lefts to the mouth as Terry followed him
around the ring, each time blocking
Terry's wild swings. They were clinched
on the ropes as the bell rang.
The crowd of 8000 persons went wild at
White's splendid showing, and the build
ing rang with cheers at the end of every
round. At the end of the fight the crowd
went crazy with yells for White.
"Mraterloaii" Billy Knocked Ont.
NEW YORK. April 17. At the Broad
way Athletic Club tonight the welter
weight championship of the world changed
hands from "Mysterious" Billy Smith to
Matty Matthews, of New York. The New
York man solved the hitherto unsolved
mystery with a right-hand punch on the
Jaw In the 19th round, sending Smith to
the land of dreams. The flgnt was fast
all the way, and was witnessed by fully
4000 spectators, who cheered Matthews
wildly at the finish.

Five pecp'o wc Injured, one fatally,
and considerable property was damaged

badly hurt; Henry Meyer, injured on the

arm hurt. Internal Injurhs.
The first place struck was the residence

RELATIONS ARE CRITICAL
TUnKET FAILS TO PAY AMERICAS
EVDEMXITY CLAIMS..
Diplomacy At an End The Xcxt Move
Will Be the Sending Home of the
Turkish Minister.
WASHINGTON. April 17. There Is no
longer any question that the diplomatic
relations between tho United States and
Turkey aro in a critical state, growing
out of the Sultan's bad faith. He prom
ised to pay the Indemnity claims of the
American missionaries for the destruc
tion of eight buildings of the Euphrates
College, at Harpoot, and several buildings
bolonglng to the American missionaries
at Marash. during the Armenian massa
cres of 1S95. Mr. Strauss, the United
States Minister to Turkey. Is at present
la the united States on leave ot absence.
He has already announced his resignation,
but the President, regarding the services
of Mr. Strauss as Indispensable, definitely
extended his leave, subject to the call ot
the Secretary of State whenever circum
stances may necessitate his return.
Diplomacy appears to have exhausted
Itself at Constantinople. The Sultan prom
ised to pay the Indemnity claims, amount
ing to somo JSO.000, which, promise was
again renewed prior to Mr. Struss' de
parture: and although 16 months have
elapsed since the. promise was first made,
that promise still remains unfilled. What
action the Government will now take to
enforce the Sultan's promise Is not defi
nitely known, but as the situation Is crit
ical. It may result In Secretary Hay'send
lng the Turkish Minister at Washington
his passports.
The question involved between the two
countries is no longer one resting upon
disputed points of 'ntematlonal law, but
upon the Sultan's 'Woken faith. This Is
not his only promise, he having stated
to our Minister that he would give his
permit for the reconstruction of the Amer
ican College and school buildings, while
up to the present the official permit, upon
one excuse and another, has been with
held. When Dr. Angell resigned. In 1S3S. the
relations between the two countries were
critical, by reason of the Inaction of the
Turkish Government and Its refusal to en
tertain the Indemnity claims. Mr. Strauss,
by reason of his successful previous mis
sion and his past experience, was sum
moned by the President 'to take up the
mission, as best qualified to adjust the
pending question In a manner satisfactory
to' both countries. Shortly after his ar
rival at Constantinople. In September, 1S3S,
several matters yielded to negotiation.
Ho then addressed himself to the main
questions, the compensation for mission
ary buildings destroyed and for .property
looted, nnd the permit for their rebuild
ing. The Turkish Government, shortly
before the departure of Dr. Angell. sent
a reply denying nil liability for the build
ings and property destroyed. A similar
reply was sent to the Ambassadors of
England, France and Italy, having like
claims. Mr. Strauss took up the" ques
tion anew, basing his argument upon the
well-recognized principles of international
law. with the result that at an audience
with the Sultan December 8, 1S5S. tho
Sultan promised to pay the claims. The
claims were examined with great care
and scrutiny, based upon the principle
ot Indemnity for the actual value of the
property destroyed. The Sultan -also
stated that he had given permission for
the reconstruction of the destroyed build
ings. Neither of these promises he kept.
During tho continuation of Minister
Strauss leave of absence, the legation is
1 n charge of Captain Lloyd C. Grlscom,
secretary of the legation, who Is fully
conversant with the business.

JONES ON DEWEY.
DemoTcrattc Chairman Does Xot Take
the Admiral's Candidacy Seriously.
NEW YORK. Aprii17. A special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Senator Jones, of. Arkansas, chairman
ot the Democratic National Committee,
said last night that he had no Idea what
Admiral Dewey's intentions are, or what
line of action he will pursue to obtain
a Presidential nomination. So far as the
National Democratic Committee, as a
body. Is concerned, no letter or communl
t cation has been addressed to the Admiral
'on the subject of his candidacy. Speaking
for himself. Senator Jones said he had
not written to the Admiral inquiring
whether he would enter the Kansas City
convention and abide by the result of the
convention, he added:
"It is quite probable, however, that
others are more curious. It Is possible
that Admiral Dewey may be suggested
In connection with the Vice-Presidency,
but I have not the slightest Idea that ho
will be proposed seriously as a Presiden
tial candidate. Public sentiment has al
ready decreed that Mr. Bryan Is to be
the nominee ot the regular Democratic
party, and in my Judgment the men who
will represent the Democratic party at
Kansas City will carry out the will of the
Democratic masses and name Mr. Bryan.
"So far as Admiral Dewey Is concerned,
I have no means of knowing whether he
proposes as a Democrat to come to thi
regular organization and abide by the con
sequences, or whether he and his friends
Intend to hold an Independent convention
similar to that which named a third party
ticket four years ago, headed by General
Palmer."
Senator Jones then explained that he
was not seriously considering tho candi
dacy of Admiral Dewey, because he be
lieved It to be the result of a movement
originated by certain so-called Democrats
who did not vote for Mr. Brypn four
years ago, and who have no Intention of
doing so If ho Is again named as the party
standard-bearer. He added that It was
not usual for a candidate to announce
that he proposed to be tho candidate for
any particular party and dictate a policy
which Is supposed to be antagonistic to
all the' principles ot the party from which
he seeks support.
"If." said Senator Jones. "Admiral
Dewey declares himself to be a Democrat
he will receive a cordial welcome into tho
fold, for the American people are proud
ot htm for his gallant and meritorious
services in their behalf. There are other
good Democrats who rendered valuable
service to their country during the Span
ish War, and the Admiral will not be
lonely In the Democratic ranks. He will
probably receive such consideration as he
deserves, but he will havo to abide the
result of the convention, whatever It
may be."

When Dr. Smith, of New York City,

ceremony. It wasn't only that he claimed
to be 122, but, ho did not look over 50. Jt

wasn't. He was simply an example of a
man who had brought the science of living
to the highest perfection known In modern
times.

FEW PEOPLE DIE A NATURAL
DEATH.
It Is a startling "statement to make,
and yet It Is supported by high evidence.
Professor R. A. Proctor, In an article In
the Cosmopolitan Magazine, quotes an
eminent physician as follows:
"In all the wide experience of long
practice, I have only known one person
dle a natural death. A natural deatn is i acn and other diseases of the stomach and
when death results from tho .simultaneous digestive and nutritive systems which pre

When a man dies a natural fleam no-
breaks up like "tho wonderful one-hoss
shay, which was built In sucn a logical
way It ran for 100 years and a day." Any
termination of life other than that gen
eral decay Is unnatural.
There Is no disputing tho fact that
UNNATURAL LIVING LEADS TO UN
NATURAL DYING.
Few people realize that these several
organs heart, lungs, liver, brain, kid
neys, etc. are being strengthened or weak
ened with every mouthful of every meal
which Is eaten. It Is nevertheless a fact
that at the meal table and he lunch
counter the warrant of unnatural death
Is dally signed. Each organ of the body
Is dependent on the stomach and its allied
organs for Its health and vigor. Tho full
health of the human stomach equals the
full health of each organ of the body, de
pendent on the stomach for Its nutrition.
Where the health of the stomach falls
below normal, the health of each' other or
gan must be proportionately reduced. If
there Is hereditary weakness In any one
organ In heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, or
any other organ that weakest organ Is
the most liable to be puehed to the wall
by tbe lack of a sufficient and healthy
nutriment. Hence It Is that "men die
mostly from the decay ot a single organ
heart.' lungs, liver, brain, kidneys."
Because the stomach Is the center of
supply for the whole body and each or
gan of that body, and because weakness
of the stomach and its allied organs of
digestion and nutrition, must mean weak
ness of tho organs depending on them for
allrrentatlon, It follows as an axiom that
NO MAN IS STRONGER THAN HIS
STOMACH.
No better Illustration of the relation of
diseased heart, lunge, liver,. kidneys, etc..
to a diseased stomach can be found than
Is furnished by the cures of these dis
eased organs by Dr. Pierce's Golden Med.
leal Discovery. This medicine cures dis
eases of the stomach and the associated
organs of digestion and nutrition. But In
doing this It acts upon the blood, which
Is made from food, and which must 'carry
with It from the diseased stomach the
taint of disease. Blood Is made from food.
Blood Is the life of the whole body and
Us every organ. But If the food digested
Is deficient In quantity of nutrition, by
reason of the weakness of the digestion,
then the blood must be deficient In qua;
lty and the whole of the vital powers
will be affected. Whatever affectfl the
quality of the food as nutriment affects
the quality of tho blood produced from
food, and whatever affects the quality or
quantity of tho blood affects each organ
of the body which depends on blood for
vigor and vitality.
A SCIENTIFIC PROPOSITION.
Diseases of prgans seemingly remote
from the stomach, which have their ori
gin in a diseased condition of the stom
ach. are cured through the stomach. That
is the scientific explanation of tho cures
of heart, liver, lungs, kidneys and other
organs by the use of Dr. Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery.
"Your 'Golden Medical Discovery" has
performed a wonderful cure." writes Mr.
M. H. House, of Charleston, FranklU
Cpunty, Arkansas. "I had the worst caso
of dyspensla, the doctors say. that they
ever saw. After trying oeven doctors and
everything I could hear of. with no benefit,
I tried Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
cover, and now I am cured."
Mr. Edward Jacobs, ot Marengo, Craw
ford County, Indiana, writes: "After three
years of suffering with liver trouble and
malaria, I gave up all hopes of ever get
ting stout again, and tho last chance was
to try your medicine. I had tried all the
home doctors, and received but little re
lief. After taking three bottles of Dr.
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery and
one vial of his 'Pleasant Pellets, I am
atout and hearty. It Is due entirely to your
wonderful medicines."
"I had been a great sufferer for sev
eral years,, and my family doctor said I
would not be a living man In two years,
but, thank God, I am still living," writes
Mr. George W. Trustow, of LIpsCcmb,
Augusta County. Virginia. "Dr. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery Is what saved
my life. I had heart trouble so bad that
I could not He on my left side without a.
great deal of pain. I was nearly Past
work when I commenced your medicine,
but I can do about as much work now
as any roan. I cannot say too much for
the benefit I have received."
"I am a farmer and work the farm for
a living," writes 'Mr. Ell Ashford.'of Ra-
ney. Hunt County, Texas. "In the Spring
of 1S91 I was taken with a cough, wh'ch
grew worse in spite ot all the medicine
which I had taken. I was so weak I could
hardly get about, and began to spit up
blood. My neighbors said that I would not
live to see the next Christmas, but after
reading your Memorandum Book I com
menced taking Dr. Pierce's Golden Mid
lcal Discovery. I used 11 bottles, and
am happy to say that I am now well, and
can do as much work as anybody."
"While living In Charlotte. N. C-. your
medicine cured me of asthma and nasal
catarrh of 10 years' standing." writes J.
L. Lumsdcn. Esq.. of 221 Whitehall street,
Atlanta. Ga. "At that time life was a
burden to me, and after spending hundreds
of dollars under numerous doctors. I was
dying by Inches. I weighed only 131
pounds. In 20 days after I commenced
your treatment I was well of both
troubles, and In six months I weighed 170
pounds and was in perfect health. I have
never felt the slightest symptom of either
since. Am 63 years old and In perfect
health, and weigh 1C0 pounds. No money
, could repay you for what you did for me.
I would not return to the condition I was
In in October, 1S72, for Rockefeller's
wealth."
THE LOGIC OF FACTS.

stomach and blood cures diseases of heart,
