The following are the facts as told on the witness stand in theexam ination of the defendant before Justice Freerksen this forenoon. Several men went to the barn of Mr. Peter Hi ley near his residenc in the third ward for the purpose of having a rooster fight, among them being Harry 15arr and W illiam Emerick, Jr. About the same II- y;- . . wine uir. xuiey arnvea Dome with, a horse and took "it to the barn, taking off ms coat to go 10 wort, placing H just in side of the barn. Emerick was commit ing a nuisance on it when Mr. Riley re quested him to quit and asked him to get out of the barn. Bar r came forward and said he wouldn't dare order him off the place and treat him in that way. Mr. Riley stepped un in a gentlemanly wi and taking hold of his shoulder requested him also to get off the place, when Barr quickly pullet! a revolver and level. ing it at Mr. Rilev's head pulled the gsr, and the ball sped tast his head and i very close going probably just past the ' corner of the barn, they were on the out side. Mr. Kiley stated that he thought he was hit at first and it felt almost if tne ban nad gone in his ear. He then jumped inside the barn as Barr again leveled the revolver.

Shall we undertake a policy which has no precedent in our national history, it one it is Canada, and of what benefit has that been to usT It is true we now hae the Hawaiian group, the benefits and advantages of which time can only tell, to my knowl edge this was merely an experiment. But shall we, incMeji.YJ-ttado one step follow it up by others and Start oat in.tlie game of grab and extending of our boundriesT a Inch seems to be the result of all such moves. If we take the Philippines, this will necoosarily be fol lowed by tho Carolines, next the La- drones, then I suppose we will take Uie Canaries and all the other stray islands in the Pacific and Atlantic. It is all very well and wise for some of these one borne editors to tit in their of fice and editorial cha:rs and write artic les sanctioning the retaining of the Philippines, a move which will benefit the masses at large not one bit, but may beneht a tew individually. I only wiah that those who are advocating such a move, will come i.ere and hold them. and live on army rations such as we have been living on ouring the past months. Should the I'nited States see fit to cast aside ah her former traditions and do the very thin the European nations intimated we.were going to war for "the extension of our boundaries," we will need a navy triple the number we now possess and an army of not leas than one hundred thousand men. so as to t prepared to be plunged into the tuieriett oi war at any time. Oar standing army before the mat now ended war with pain was not filled to the required number of twenty five thousand men. bo how ran we hoie to be able to raise a standing army to such a number aa will be neceary? Many of our people are complaining of the exhorbitant rates of taxai'on. What a ill be the result if they are compelled to pay perhaps three times the present taxes? If we increase our army to the number it will be obliga tory. If we take the Philippines and other islands taxes are sure to be heavier and more of a burden on our people. England may boat that Uie sun never sets on her possesions, but let us also remember that Uie son never sets on the misery and despair that has resulted Irora her policies of aggrandizement. We, as a naUon, have gone forward steadily from the time of our birth, and have been the envy of all nations. For over one hundred years we have of fered an ideal g-jup and home for all peo ple, vrir temtonea are not lullr culti vated and colonized. There is atxU room for all comers, so let us concentrate our efforts and policies so as to get our own grand country fully develeped, not start out and acquire more when we hare no use for it.

Let the outer nations continue U.ttr policies of acquisition and acquiring of territory, let tbrm have a stand ins army and navv, triple the strenUi of our own, and shed rivers of blood over their pos sessions.

If we retain our former policy'and tra ditions, and bring our own land to a higher state of pertection. we will be able to withstand Uie combined armies of tbe world; Uiere is no army in existence that could land on our shores and march two hundred miles inland, for they would be completely annihilated. So let us beware, and consider well tbe step before taking it.for when once taken there will be no opportunity of with drawing it. 1 am poeitive in my opinion that if our nation takes such a step, fifty years hence ske will curse the day that she threw her former policies and tradi tion to the winds, and started upon an experiment. History is filled with warn ings to nations who hava an inaatiable greed for gain, and the terrible and last ing consequences that have resulted from such indulgence. So. in conclusion, I will say, let us con sider well and not depart from a certain ty to an experiment, which may have disastrous results. Let us be content to retain what we now possess and America shall indeed he the land of the free and the borne of the brave. Fh.ink C. STEiAWACitta, Manila P. I., Co. I SndjOr.
