lion. Out ot. 1$ large- firms allied to
the Essen chamber of commerce, all
but one have resolved to refra'n from
exhibiting and a report just received
from Sollngen announces that .all the
manufacturers and large industrial
firms belonging to the chamber of com
me roe of that city have resolved unan
imously not to exhibit.
Only a few weeks ago German pub
lishing houses agreed to boycott the
St. Louis exposition because of defect

translation of German publications In
the United States, equivalent to liter
ary piracy,
The firm of Krupp, of Essen, which
waa the largest German exhibitor at
Chicago, obstinately refuse to exhibit
at St. Louis. Similar resolutions have
been carried by numerous chambers of
commerce, especially In tne industrial
regions of the Rhine, Yestphalla and

Washington, April 24. By the direc
tion of the secretary of war, Judge Ad'
vocate General Davis today addressed
a letter to Brigadier-General Funston
refusing bis request for a court of In
quiry to Investigate his conduct In the
Philippines.
In a 'etter addressed to the pret
dent by Herbert Walsh of Philadelphia,
Pi.. It is charged that on or about
February 10, 1899, certain orders In
respect to the treatment of prisoner
of war were given by Funston to the
regiment of which he was at that Jmfe
colonel, as a consequence of which the
prisoners of war were put to death dur
Ing tbe progress of an engagement with
an enemy at Caloocan, province of Lu
zon. P. L, by officers and enlisted men
of the Twentieth Kansas volunteers.
Advocate-General Davis' letter says:
"The secretary of war directs me to
express his satisfaction with your at
titude In respct to the above-mentioned
allegations, as expressed in your ur
gent request that the Incident be made
a subject ot exhaustive investigation.
The matter has already been made a.
subject of official Investigation upon
three separate occasions. In no Investi
gation waa there any testimony elicit
ed showing, or tending to show, that
orders directing the killing of prisoners
of war had been given by you at any
time." .

The statements being made by an

that his elecUon to congress would be

Are constantly receiving knock-out
blows from those who are thoroughly
acquainted with the subject. Perhaps
the most convincing expression yet de
livered on the matter were made by
Senator Fulton, to a representative of

Asked about the attitude of the admin

atnr said: "It 1 all nonsense to talk
about Mr.: Hermann being objectiona
