MAY NOT BE THE REAL THING Art Critics in New York Doubt the Sincerity of a New Orleans Negio’s Pretensions. NEW YORK, May 6.—Dealers in foreign pictures who are familiar with old masters have expressed some curiosity as to the story that H. M. Earle had purchased for George J. Gould nineteen old masters for $600,000 from an old negro in New Orleans. The old negro, Marcel, in whose shop the pictures are said to have been found, has kept a jimk shop in Chartress street since war times. Mr. Earle evidently had full faith in the genuineness of the paintings, for he contracted to pay $600,000 for them | after they had been passed upon, and paid $5000 to bind the bargain. WAY FESTIVAL.

The new calendar does not contain these bills. Docket Clerk, Thomas Smedley, says he put the bills on the calendar yesterday at the request of certain Senators, and designated them as “bills in committee.” He says the rule of the Senate has always been that bills do not go on the calendar until they haye been reporté from the com- mittees. He says he makes up the calendar on this rule,’ and is not willing to take the responsibility of violating the rule without instructions from the Senate. “I would be glad to put these bills on the calendaff if the Genate would instruct me to do so,” he said. ‘“‘But I can’t do it without authority from the Senate.”’ Senator (Major says it makes no difference whether the bdills are not actually on the calendar blackboard, which is the tangible part of the calendar. His position is that any bill is on the same calendar when it ts on this point when the opportunity comes. This will. force a vote, and the enemies of franchise legiglation will have to go on re- cord as opposed to it. —o—-_-_—- THESE BILLS A NECESSITY. Attorney General and Governor Warm.- ly Urge Such Legislation. Special to the Post-Dispatch. JEFFERSON CITY, Mo., May 6.—Henry 6. Julian of Kansas City, author of the law for the sale of street railway franchises, last night declared to his friend, Senator Odus G. Young, Chairman of the Committee of Judiciary, which has so for succeeded in suppressing the franchise bills passed by the House, that such a measure was just and right; that the people were demanding it. and it should be given a fair chance in the Senate. “Tt will ruin you, Ode,”” he said, in con- clusion. “if you pursue this course in re- gard to these bills. Your political career will end with this session of the (Legislature if you further attempt to smother these measures. Your people will not stand for | Ay He afterward told a friend that Senator Young was so bitterly opposed to any of the franchiee bills before his committee that they stood no chance of success. Mr. Jul- fan is an expert on the subject of fran- chises, and after a study of the Fitzgerald bill, pronounced it a good measure. Gov. Stephens is for a measure that will provide for the taxation of franchises. “My position on this question has never been uncertain,” he sald. “In my first mes- sabe to the Legislature two years ago I suggested a franchise tax law. I made the same suggestion in my message to this Leg- islature. It is right to tax franchises, if it is right to tax any property. A fran- chise is property. It earns money for iis possessor and often proves to be more pro- fitable than tangible property. The burden of taxation haé always been upon the far- mer, and it has become too heavy to be borne longer without grumbling. This bur- den should be lightened, and the way to lighten it is to place a just proportion of tax upon the franchise values held by cor- porations. You can put me down as favor- ing the taxation of franch‘ses all the time.” Attorney-General Crow favors the taxa- tion of franchises. “I have alwaye contended,” he said, ‘‘that franchises could be taxed under the pres- ent law, but if more law will cause them to be taxed I am in favor of more law. They are property just as much as land, horses and cows, jewelry or any other thing ls property.

He is not able to state ¢t amount of revenue that would flow from the Dill if it were enacted into law. Nome of these gentlemen would hazard evens guess as to the revenue. however, by those who have made some study of the subject that $400,000,000 of franchise values escape taxation. On t basis the revenue to the State, at 2 cents on the $100 of value would be exactly $1,000,- 000. The Hqual Tax Committee of the Louis Single Tax League, which hds maife a deep study of the subject, places the amount at that figure. They include ih. their estimate only the steam and st railroads, bridge companies, and telegraph companies, and do not include express, telé- — phone, gas, electric light, conduit ana many other conporations of the quasi- nature. i The Fitzgerald bill provides for State, - 43 county and municipal taxes tipon ° “- 4.

Recited as Follow- ing the Bishop’s Removal: of Priests From Livings. A meeting of ‘unusual interest to Irish Catholics will be held in St. Louis next week, beginning Monday. The exfled Irish Catholic priests of Colo- rado, will assemble from every 6tate in the Union, where they have found refuge, and welcome to prepare a petition to the Prop- saganda at Rome, praying that His Grace; Bishop Christopher Matz of Denver, be elther deposed or sent to another diocese and that an [Irish Catholic bishop. be ap- pointed to succeed him. ' The conference will appoint two of its members to bear the petition to Rome and to plead the cause of the homeless prel- ates before the authorties at the Vatican, Probartiy fifty unS.Ptunate priests will take part in the canference, but it is claimed many more ‘have felt the sting of Bishop Matz’s prejuaices. Some have died since they were driven from iheir homes; others are too teeble With age to leave the church’s asylums, where they are pais- ing their declining days; while others have given up the fight, Only the active and unconquerable spiritts- will be here. Bishop Matz’s trandle with the com- plaining priests Began with his appoint- ment to the diocese of Denver.,He is a Ger- man, with. a lovée*for eyerything that is German, and a dislike, f is said, for ev- erything that is -not. The exiled priests contend that as soon ag he entered upon the discharge of these duties he exnibited a violent antipathy for .Irish. priests and removed them without cause and appoint- ed German priests to succeed them, / The trouble which the alleged exercise of these prejudices precipitated were de- scribed Saturday by a priest who will be a prominent figure in the conference. “Bishop Matz, shortly after hé@ Was as- signed to Denver, began a systematic cam- paign to Germanize the whole diocese. Kv- ery Irish priest in his jurisdiction incurred his dislike. He would remove us on the most trivial charge, and in numerous cases ousted Irish priests absalutely without any justifiable grounds. When an Irish priest was removed a German priest was appoint- ed to succeed him. Thréugh this policy, pursued relentlessly and almost with ven- geance, Irish priests of the diocese were soon homeless, with some very rare excep- tions, and German priests were advanced to the vacant parishes. “The worst feature of the was that all the parishes where such changes were effected, were composed largely of Irish or Ipish-Americans. They were indignant at the whole _pro- ceeding and refused to support. their German spiritual advisers. As a result the diocese of Denver is in a miserable way, and every ehurch in its jurisdiction is mortgaged to the limit of its value, all mortgages having been placed during Bishop Matz’s administration. | “Since our exile the Bishop has absolutely ignored us and has shown no more sym- pathy for us in our misfortune than we would receive if we were arch heretics. When he drove us out on the prairies of Colorado he should at least have seen that we did not want for the necessaries of life. But he recognized no such obligation, and many of us have seen many days when we did not have enough to eat. “We have been wanderers over the coun- try, earning our subsistence. where we might, but always hoping that good for- tune would ,sometime restore us’ to the parishes from which we were so uncere- moniously and unjustly ousted. We believe our time has come. During our meeting in this city we will formulate a lengthy peti- tion, stating our grievances and sufferings and the relief we desire, A strong condi- tion in our. favor is’ the general dissatis- faction with the administration of the finances of the Diosesé of Denver by Bishop Matz. We do not care whether he is de- posed or:not. If he is removed to a more congenial diocese and an Trish or Irish- American Bishop is appointed to succeed him, we will be satisfied,’ for our rights will then be protected.’’ The following priests were in St. Louis Saturday, ready for the conference: Fathers O’Leary, Cushing. Camady, Marlin, Malone and Brennan. Others will arrive Sunday and Monday. WILL RAISE OVER $6,000,000 Subscriptions to the World’s Fair Fuud to Cover Any Possible Delinquencies. Bishop’s policy By the end of next week it is. belicved the subscriptions to World’s Pair stock will have far exceeded the 86,000,000 mark. The purpose is to :ncorporate the [Fair Witn $6,000,000 capital, but it ip desived to have enough more than that ameunt subscribed to provide for the possihue contingency of some subscribers failing <:co take tceir stock. As the largest of the street railway sys- tems and the steam railroads have uot yet subscribed, it fs not thougat there wil be any difficulty in raising the desired amount. The steam raiiways zre expected to subscribe $1,000.00. The subs«ription ct! the Spencer-Orthwein “%*reet railway lines is $100,000, and the roads tn the sy&tem on which the Brown Bros, have an option will probably be heard from next week. The first subs?ripiioa bv eabte was from Mr. William Ranken of New Park, Ccler- aine, Londonderry, Ireland: Mr. Ranken owns considerable property in St. Louis, and his brother David wrote to him sug, gesting that a subscription of $5000 wouid be a graceful indication of his interest in the Fair, Mr. David Ranken having sub- scribed a like amount. Mr, William Ranken accepted the suggestion, and cabled his brother to put him down, for $9000 HE WANTED TO WITHDRAW.

He said he would defer ‘he final hearing in the case until next Thursday so that more evidence could be brought before him. He made a temporary order, however, awarding the child to the plaintiff pending the final hearing. He said he thought the boy ehou'd be with his mother on account of his tender age until it should be shown that she had no right to him. When the defendants offered to gur- render the child to the plaintiff, she grabbed him in an excited manner and Clasped him to her bosom closely, caress- ing and kissing him with a great show of affection. She hurried away from the courtroom as if she were afraid the court might revoke its order. Mrs. Madsen claims that her husband, Clemens Madsen, and her mother-in-law, Augusta Madsen, took the child from her, April 2, and told her, when she demanded its return, that she would never. be per- mitted to take her boy in her arms again. Madsen was @ soldier in the campaign against Santiago and in Porto Rico. Mrs. Madsen says he has deserted her and has refused to make any provision for her sup- port.

Chairman Harris and the Old Execu- tive Committee. G. W. Harris, chairman of the Confer- ence Committee of the Democratic City Precinct organization, insists that the se- lection of an Executive Committee of the City Central Committee on March 16 and the indorsement of such action by the Dem- ocratic City Central Committee at the Jef- ferson Club Hall, last Saturday night, does not displace the old Executive Committee of 65, appointed two years ago. ‘‘The old Executive Committee of 6 wais regularly chosen by the regular Precinct organization, consisting of 426 precinct committeemen,’’ said Mr. Harris, “and when tt comes to a show-down, the courts will not sustain the appointment of that Executive Committee of 28. The same power that gave authority for the existence of the Precinct organization established rules pro- viding for an Executive Committee and the manner of selecting such committee, and the most natural sequence of any ac- tion that transcends those rules is that it is wholly irregular. Our Precinct organiz- ation is still intact,’’ said Mr. Harris, ‘‘and when we get ready to name a new Ex- ecutive Committee, it will be done in reg- ular form. Until it is done, the Committee of 6 is the only authorized Executive Committee in existence.’’ WERE CRAZED WITH COCAINE. Two Women Arrested and Fined in the Police Court.

Mr. Pohlman did not know that Williams lived at that number and it seems he knew of no way of ascertaining his ad- dress. Nearly everybody around the Four Courts knows where Williams’ home is, but if Mr. Pohlman made any inquiries at Police Headquarters, where Williams pornes for several years, no one remembers Mr. Pohlman says that Jack Williams is in hiding some place. Somebody said that he was In Chicago and as Mr. Pohlman did not find him in any of the down town places of amusement or saloons he has ac- cepted this statement as true. |St. ‘Louis 1s a large ¢ity and the chances pf finding @ man on the streets are not vety great.

Williams was not dis- gulsed, nor did he manifest any desire to evade the authorities. Williams is under indictment for the kill- ing of Edward Kassebaum and ‘Rud Pearce at Grand avenue and Natural Bridge road on March 16.

The franchise bills are locked up and Senator Young has the key. He has gone to Kansas City. Senator Major, second member of the Judiciary Committee, said this morning that if Senator Young would turn the franchise bills over to him or allow him acceés to them, he would see that they were reported out of the commit- tee: “If I couldn’t get a majority of the committee together,”’ he said, “I would re- port the bills to the Senate without recom- mendation. That would place them before the Senate for action and we could get a vote upon them. Of course the Senate has adjourned until Monday afternoon and no action can be taken until then, but that would be plenty of time."’ It is remarkable the great interest that has been aroused over the franchise bills. Members of the House, Democrats and Re- publicans are using every influence at their command to induce their Senators to act fairly with the bflls. If this Legislature does not pass a franchise bill, the Republi- cans say they will make it an issue in the next State campaign and will use the records of the Senate against the Demo- crats. They say the people demand a light- ening of the burden of tax by a franchise measure and think such an issue will help the Republicans immeasurably in 1900.

PRESIDENT’S PLAN EXPLAINED. @FEMS TO SATISFY AGUINALDO’s REPRESENTATIVES. Speedy Surrender Is Anticipated and .. (hen a Temporary Form of Gov- ernment Is Assured the Natives. WASHINGTON, May 6.—It is announced by officiala here that Aguinaldo’s repre- sentatives to the American Philippines Commission have formally admitted the sovereignty of the United States over the Philippine archipelago. From a member of the Cabinet it is learned that this admission was made to President Schurman at a conference held by him with Col. Arguelles and Lieut. Ber- nal several days ago. It was in reply to a direct question put to them by Mr. Schur- man, and the character of the answer was no doubt as gratifying to the commission as it is to the President. As a result of a dispatch sent by Mr. Schurman, it is the confident expectation of the President that the end of the rebel- lion is close at hand. This result will not be obtained, though, without concessions, which have been recommended by the commission and which, by direction of the President, will be granted. These conces- sions contemplate giving to the Filipinos a form of government modeled after that of the United States. The member of the Cabinet who gave the above information said that the com- mission had unanimously adopted a recom- mendation which was submitted to the President in Mr. Schurman’s dispatch, pro- viding three departments for the new gov- ernment of the archipelago—first, the ex- ecutive department; second, the legislative department, and thjrd, the judicial depart- ment. The executive department, as recom- mended by the commission, is to consist of a Governor-General, who shall have abso- lute veto power over any acts of the Leg- islature, and his Cabinet, formed of leaders among the Filipinos and Americans. The legislative department will be organ- ized as a result of granting suffrage to Filipinos having proper qualifications. The President will be empowered to ap- point the members of the judiciary, just as he will be empowered to appoint the Governor-General. What the Cabinet officer regarded as the best feature of the whole matter was the acceptance of the commission’s proposi- tion by the Filipino envoys. Furthermore, it was learned that before the submission ' of this proposition to them they had as- — that they did not represent Gen. una. , They represented Aguinaldo. It is believed that the presentation of the commission's proposition was in com- pliance with the request of the Filipinos, who desired to know what the glittering promises made by the United States really meant. — , . The first proposition made by them to the commission was that already reported— for the adoption of an armistice, suring which time the Filipinos proposed to cal together their Congress, and through that y arrange for peace. The proposition was refused without consideration. It was then admitted, the Cabinet of- ficers said, that the ey army was too weak to stand against the American force, which was greatly its superior. Aguinaldo, th declared, is not fighting for the in- dependence of the country so much as he h for the honor of the yates and the Filipino envoys thought it humiliating that they should be compelled to lay down their arms without first understanding what the United States proposed to do with them. If the United States persisted in overrid- ing the ‘Filipinos by force, Col. Arguelles declared that the latter would retreat to the mountains and would oontinue for ¢ars a guerilla warfare, which would be © the great injury of the United States. The communication from Mr. Schurman made @» deep impression upon the Cabinet meeting, and upon the conclusion of the meeting it was stated that the situation in ‘Luzon, aside from its military feature, is most encouraging. In the instructions given Mr. Schurman and his colleagues they have been directed to act in a conciliatory manner toward the insurgents, and it is due to the masterly wey in which the commission has con- icted its work that the Administration be feved its success is due. Mr. Schurman did not indicate in his dispatch whether Col. A elles and Lieut, Bernal has returned to uinaldo’s head- garters. but it is the understanding of the resident that immediately after the in- structions sent to-day the commission will communicate without delay to the Filipino envoys. Tt has been {mpressed upon the commis- sion that before the Filipinos are granted ponce they must first lay down their arms. hen they shall have taken this action and returned to their homes the form of overnment which has been recommended y the commission will be placed in opera- tion. The commission will,,no doubt, make it plain to Col. Arguelles and Lieut. Bernal that the President cannot guarantée: thet the form of government recommended by the commission shall be continued, but the promise will be made that a recom- mendation of a vernment of this char- n, in the opinion of Administration should satisfy the Filipinos and the peace which the Adminietration, as well as the Filipinos, are so anxious to secure. . lle the Administration believes, from ent Schurman's cabiegram, that the end of the Filipino insurrection is near, it is not thought to be time to send any in- structions to Major-General Otis that _—— — military. policy. : It is Dred that back of all the adh a negotiations for a suspension of mostil't there may be merely a desire to gain time for reorganization and for strengthening intrenchments. stat Gen. Otis is on the ground. e is a mber of the commission and kept in- ed as to all the negotiations. It is the belief of the authorities here that “- will not continue hostilities a day beyon the time required to bring about the or render of the insurgents. Officials of the War artment. are certain that Gen. Otis is keeping up the fighting in oe of the favorable outlook for peace, ch ‘ because he is convinced that by s0 ener - he will bring about peace sooner and wis aemalier expenditure of life on both sides than would be the case if he should edopt any other policy. It is, therefore, probable that until the Filipinos actually yield the campaign Ww e conducted with as much vigor as | there were no indications of an early peace. INSURGENTS ON LAST LEGs. Gen. H. G. Otis Tells of Filipinos 4s Soldiers and Probable Subjects. Special to the Post-Dispatch. NEW .YORK, May 6.—Brigadier-General Harrison Gray Otis, who reached Los An- geles, Cal., from Manila, May 3, 1s nat- urally the best authority now in this coun- try on the situation and prospects in the Philippines. He gives the Post-Dispatch, in the following article, the results of his observation and experience in the islands: The duration of the pending campaign in the Philippines is bound to be brief. It is impossible for the army under Agui- naldo to continue the fight, and there is no hope of military success, even if the fight should be continued indefinitely. Neither the embattled Filipinos nor the so-called Filipino government have the resources necessary to insure success. They are without adequate arms and ammunition; they are without horse, artillery or a navy, they have no sufficient commissariat, but are compelled to live precariously off the country; they. have no treasury; they have no efficient organization; they are without commanders of knowledge and capacity for modern warfare, and, finally, they are without cohesion. There is no solidarity in the patriotism of the population, if patriotism it be. The different island peoples are at outs with each other, and they will never sub- mit to Tagalo rule, to Aguinaldo or any of his associate job-seeking statesmen. The Filipino soldiers and mimic warriors are not without pluck, as they have shown in the various actions since the first out- break took place, ;but they do not know how to fight, and are no match for the valorous and intrepid American volunteers and regulars who have “gone up against them in the duty of mig: ogg a rebellion against the authority of the United States and of vindicating the flag of the republic which they wantonly assailed. So that defeat—and complete defeat— must be the portion of the revolutionary government. I look for an unconditional surrender in the very near future. American interests in the Philippines are in good hands. Trust to Dewey on the sea, and Major-General Otis on the land to do their work well and thoroughly. The character of the natives does not, of course, commend itself highly to the re- spect of enlightened American and Euro- pean peoples; yet they are not without their virtues,.and under firm and just rule, with their natural rights guaranteed to them, they can be made capable of much good. But they certainly have not that capaci- ty for self-government which would war- rant turning over the country to their civil and military control. They are not, as I have already said, united in their desire for autonomy and native self-government, and if Aguinaldo and his fellows should be turned loose to manage the country and the government they. would fail. The openings afforded in the Philippines for the env lopment of American capital are neither few nor unimportant; but Amer- icans of enterprise and capital should not be precipitate in planting themselves in our new possessions. ‘‘Fools rush in where angels fear to tread.”’ When it comes to considering the ques- tion of making a living and acquiring profit in that country through the labor the hands, it must be borne in mind. that the climate is @ Tormidable obstacle to ¢om- plete success. The attempt to supplant native labor cannot be accomplished without injustice, disturbance and possible revolution. Be- sides, the native laborers of the country have the natural and indefensfble right to a iggntee its labor so far as they are will- ng, qualified and able. he government of the Philippines will not be an easy problem, but neverthelese it is a problem which American genius, justice and determination can solve. The government for the islands should be as it is possible for human government to be. Our:Government should not undertake to overrun the islands with a horde of civil officeholders and their hangers-on. It is, in the first place, not necessary, and, in the next place, would surely result in cor- ruption, extravagance, injustice and oppo- sition. A government largely military, at least for the immediate future, is the one best adapted to the country. MEN WHO HAVE FALLEN. Gen. Otis Cables a Long List of Casual- ties to Washington.

Lawton sent back to Manila two wounded men of the Minnesota Regi- ment and one of the Oregonians, who were hurt in yesterday’s fighting, besides 2 sick men. They were sent by way of Manolos. Gen. Lawton’s advance met with but slight opposition. Outside of Maasin 2000 rebels who occupied an entrenched position were routed in short order. Many. corpses of rebels ‘have been dis- covered in. the river at San Tomas. Scores of rifles and other arms have been recoy- ered from the river, into which they were thrown by the retreating rebels.

WASHINGTON, May 6.—There is reason to believe that President McKinley has been advised that Admiral Dewey contem- plates coming home within a short time. His return will, of course, be dependent upon the success of the commission’s pres- ent negotiation# with the Filipinos.

MEANWHILE THE RECTORY WILL BE GUARDED. People of St. Patrick’s Parish in East St. Louis Show Their Determin- ation Not to Accept a German Priest. A little girl climbed onto a chair at Mus- ical Hall, East St. Louis, Friday night and lisped the name of Father Downey. Instantly a mighty wave of applause Swept over the audience; hats were tossed high and a myriad of handkerchiefs flut- tered. That was the beginning of the mass meet- ing, called by St. Patrick's parishioners, to register a public protest against the ac- tion of Bishop John Janssen in appoint- ing a German priest to preside over the congregation. As foretold in the Post-Dispatch, the members of St. Patrick's decided to ap- peal to Monsignor Martineilh at Washing- ton. It was agreed to ignore the Bishop and not present him with a copy of the resolutions protesting against Vicar-Gen- eral Cluse’s appointment. ‘Tae previous indorsement of Father Downey for the po- sition was ratified. A committee consisting of Daniel Me- Glynn, Thomas Hanifan and Dr. John Stack was appointed to personally visit the papal delegate, and submit the parish- loners’ claims to his consideration. Within 15 minutes after this announcement wes made nearly $200 had been subscribed for the purpose of defraying the committee’s expenses. The contributions ranged from 5 cents to $5. The women showed con- Spicuous generosity in their donations. To forestall any attempt by Bishop Janssen to enforce his appointment it was secretly decided to employ four men to Stand guard day and night at Rt. Patrick's parochial residence. \ Walter J. Broderick acted as chairman of the meeting. Dr. John Stack was sec- were Thomas Hanifan, , . (McDonough, (Michael J. Walsh, James Duff, Thomas Irwin, Dan McGlynn, John (Monahan, Judge McCann, Thomas ‘Hayes, Jerry ‘Coffey, Robert Cunning- ham, Patrick Kerrigan and Patrick J. Wallace. The Chairman briefly outlined the. pur- se of the meeting, then called on Mr. . Kerrigan for an address. Mr. Kerrigan spoke at some length, urg- ing the right of the people to have a voice in the selection of a pastor. ‘He ssaid Father Cluse was selected Iby Bishop Janssen for the pastorate before Father O'Halloran died. The ‘Bishop had said there was no reason to rescind the ap- pointment; there certainly was none for the refusal to appoint Father Downey. Prof. T. J. (McDonough read an informa] talk, and, among other things, he said: ‘We are fighting for a man we love and honor; on the other hand we regret having to draw ‘Father Cluse into such unpleasant prominence. There are women in the parish who have always made their con- fessions in the Trish language, and who possibly get along with a German priest.’’ J. J. Raftery, an old rick’s Parish, said: “‘We have prospered and beep happy with an’ Irish priest to guide our spiritual we!- fare. Why send a priest from a German town to an Irish town? My friend, I declare we won't stand it.” “Every society in the parish,’ said Jerry J. Kane, “indorsed Father Downey for rec- tor. I renember talking to the late lamented Father O’Holloran one day about building a new school. ‘* ‘No,’ he said, I can’t do it. I must leave that to Father Downey. If Father O’Holloran was not competent to judge his successor then I say nobody was.” City Attorney McGlynn and others made speeches defying Bishop Janssen and pro- testing their fealty to the church and their determination not to submit to the ap- pointment of a German priest. It was 11 o’clock when the chairman stepped to the front of the stage and said: ‘Those who desire to sign the declaration of independence will now step forward.” Nearlv every person present signed the paper. Then they stood around in groups and talked over the situation. a A FORMER PRIBST OF THE PARISH. Very Reverend Francis A. Zabel, now of Bunker Hill, Jll., was the priest of St. Patrick’s parish during the trying years from 1864 to 1873. He says of the past con- ditions in that partsh: “Somebody is repeating the stale false- hood that the French priest left a debt upon the parish of $45,000. [ am that French priest. I had the parish immediately after the war and during two years of the labor strike. These conditions, together with the building of the church, made necessary a considerable amount of close financier\ing. The debt incurred was less than $25,000, and that was by order of my Bishop. My na- tionality ‘had nothing to do with it. ~ “IT insist that justice and fairness be done to me in this matter. All I ask is mv honest name, with which to die in peace, and I shall make trouble for anybody .who in- terferes with this my last ambition.’’ parishoner of St. Pat- German Lutheran Synod. The work of the German Evangelical Lutheran synod, now in session in Holy Cross Church, was nearly fimished Friday. Most of the day was taken up in missionary work. A parochial school will be estab- lished in London and $400 was set aside for the church in Berlin. Delegates and com- mijtees for various purposes were named.

DISSENSIONS AMONG NATIVES. Quarrels Are So Frequent and Bitter That the Independents Are Grad- ually Losing Strength. | NPW YORK, May 6.—The Paneer eer can League is trying to pave the way for the annexation of ‘Cuba by promoting the study of the English language in the isiand, and by encouraging and assisting of the efforts of the annexationists in Cuba. According to a letter received by President William O. MaDowell of the league, quar- reis and diasensions among the independ- ents in Cuba will greatly aid the annexa- tlonist'’s work, and thousands who are now afraid to declare themselves will flock to thelr standard as soon as assu that un- der United States protection they will be allowed to vote as they please. “I received a few days ago a letter from Carlos Ysenga, Mayor of Trinidad,’ said Mr. McDowell, jast night, “which is very raging to the cause of annexation. M. Yeenega goes on to say: “If you are not in favor of/ iid ence the independ- you their personal enemy, y " and even if you are in favor of independence you are not safe from being roughly treated. Maximo Gomes is an example. The old automomist pamy has given out Ms War cry for autonomy with the United States for the mother country. This, of course, means annexation. ‘Mr. Ysenage thinke that public action on the part of the annexationists just now would be premature. When the revolution- ary army its disbanded he believes the op- portune moment will then arrive for t inttiation of the annexationiet propaganda. Many are not afraid to advocate annexa- tion, but when they are convinced that the United States will protect everyone and that they will all be allowed to vote as they see fit the annexationists party wil eitty Sues eae ote the study of the hoy language n Cuba, Mr. McDowell said that some time ago Gen. Wilson, commanding the depart- ment of Matanzas and Santa Clara had interested himeelf in aiding the institute for higher education in Matanzas, to obtain a library of American books. Dr. Eduardo Diaz, the di r of the Institute, prepared a list of about 600 books and sent It to this country. Mr. Andrew Carnegie heard of } this and suppleid the books. April 29 continued Mr. McDowell, Gen. Wilson wrote to the league inclosing an- other list of 450 books, which, he says, would be very acceptable, and expressed the hope that the league will find some peo- ple who will be willing to supply the books. ISLANDS PAWNED TO BRITAIN. Debts Owed the Germans Will Be Paid and England Will Rule. SAN FRANCISCO, May 6.—A _ letter from Tonga, Friendly Islands, dated April ll, says that a treat has been entered into between Great Britain and the islands. Last December the German Vice-Consul at Samoa made a demand on this Govern- ment for 25,000 pounds, the claims being for debts contracted by Tongans to Ger- man traders. Some of the accounts are 30 years old. After consideration the Gov- ernment repudiated these claims. The Con- sul notified the Premier that unless the full amount was paid Germany would send a large war vessel to seize Vavau, which contains a splendid harbor. March 7 the British warship Tauranga arrived and her captain held an interview with King George Tubou II. It is said that the King was notified that Great Britain considered Germany's claim just. but did not propose to let her take Vavau or any other part of this group, so he of- oe. — —— MONDAY, 9 a. m., Hilts’ has a big surprise— See Sunday’s Post-Dispatch. , — ———e fered to pay the claims and protect these little islands that Germany is so eager te acauilre. It is not the intention of the British at this time to annex those islands, com-/ prising the Vavau, Haapi and nga groups. The British and King George have merely formed a treaty $f alliance, offen-+ sive and defensive, the German claims will be paid when presented and the islands” will have virtually become a dependency of Great Brftain.

Whether or not ‘the action of the House in calling upon the Senate ‘to pase ea franchise tax bill was in accordance with the rules of official etiquette, does not concern the people. It was honest. It was in accordance with the popular will. There was no offense in this action of the House for honest Senators, who want to do their duty to the people of the State. No discussion of the proprieties will divert the public mind from the issue raised by the House—the taxation of franchises by the passage of a bill in the Senate providing for such taxation. On this issue the people are united. There is not a dis- senting voice to the proposition that franchises be taxed, ex- cept among those who are interested in franchise properties and who richly profit by immunity from,tax burdens which others have to bear. : In addition to the practically unanimous yoice of the House of Representatives the Post-Dispatch to-day publishes strong taxation from Gov. expressions in approval of franchise Stephens, Attorney-General Crow and Secretary of State Le- gueur. These officials voice the popular demand, The responsipility rests on the Senate and primarily now on the Judiciary Committee of that body. Senator Young of Kansas City, who is chairman of the committee, holds the key. He has run away to Kansas City, but cannot avoid his responsibility. Ir he continues to obstruct the reporting of a franchise tax bill he will be marked as the tool of corpora- tion tex dodgers and franchise grabbers, and as the enemy of the people who support the burden of the government. The committee members who support him will be so marked. Senators who fail to do their full duty in the attempt to pass a franchise tax bill will bear the brand of the corporation lobby. There is no escape save in the adoption of the law. Not a single honest objection can be urged against franchise taxation. Not a single point of defense can be made by those who protect the franchise-owners from taxation. Many of the franchises now free of taxation are pure spoils corruptly ob- tained. The people are twice despoiled when these franchise values are untaxed. If the franchise bills fail it will be due solely to a conspiracy to protect rich and powerful tax-dodgers, entered into by the corporation lobby and its tools in the State Senate. >>> i “Not any consideration could swerve him from the line he believed to be right,’”’ says possible Speaker Sherman of re- tiring Speaker Heed.

Folks Are Now Having a Hard Road to Hoe. The followers of the L. A. W. and the friends and members of the National Cy- “Ming Association are still having a merry war. Both sides now have their press bureau in thorough working order and both claim to be gaining ground, The L. A. W. in their bulletins claim the N. Cc. A. is weakening and the other side hurl back the same charge. According to an L. A. W. bulletin the situation as it stands now is this: The out- laws have succceded in geiting only a par- tial control of New York City. On one of the tracks there three L. A. W. meets are scheduled, with more in sight. In other cities they have gained nothing, with Buf- falo as the onby city in deubt, and there the eiubs are solidiy supporting the L. A. W In New England, Pennsylvania, the South aud the entire West, except California, there is an unbroken support cf the League. Every organization has supported the League from start to finish, and others have become affiliated with it. The outlawed riders canot make a living on two New York tracks, and that is all they have to depend upon. They cannot ride on any circuit, for a circuit of two tracks would be ridiculous; they cannot compete in the national championships at loston or the world’s championships at Montzeal. All the State circuits are closed to them. The New York World of May 1 contained the following: “Jimmy Michaels, the champion bicycle rider, became reminiscent on Saturday while out for a spin, and for- ot he was supposed to be training horses or Dwyer. The result was a bicycle po- liceman headed him off after a weary chase, by cutting across lots, In the Myrtle Avenue Court, Brooklyn, yesterday, the po- liceman swore Michaels was traveling at the rate of a thousand miles an hour, or gome such gait, and the littie champion smiled and paid a fine of $2 each for him- self and two friends.”’ —-— @& -——- With the Amateurs. ‘ The wet weather caused the postponement br a hundred amateur games scheduled for Saturday.

Not Expansion, Will Be the Issue. . Special to the Post-Dispateb. NEW YORK, May 6.—Senator Chauncey M. Depew came back to New York from his Western trip last night. He was smil- ing and rosy, as usual, and talked like 4 high school boy at an annual examina- tion. “Many Democratic leaders told me,” Said Dr. Depew, “and I talked with leaders of both the West and the South, that they were for Bryan and the old Chicago plat- form. They are for Bryah first, last and ga hg wt ‘aor “On t epublican sidé¢? “There's no question abput that, Presi- dent McKinkey will be renominated, have heard that there wag talk of Roose- velt for second place, but some of Mr, Roosevelt's closest friends have told me that he would not accept second place. He has shown himself so geod a Governor that he must be renominated for that place, and 1904 isn’t so far off.’’ ‘‘What about Alger?’ “TI haven’t had time to look into that. ! uess, to use a Yankee phrase, that Alger s all right.”’ “IT fail to see any excuse for the sound money Democracy to distress itself about the financial policy that may be laid down by the next national convention,” said Don M. Dickinson of Detroit, a member of the first Cabinet of President Cleveland. “Unless President McKinley makes the mistake of advocating an Anglo-American alliance I do not see how he can be beat- en.”” “McKinley has eurprion? the Republi- cans, I think, quite as muth as the Dem- ocrats, He has sho rare sagacity and calmness. Therefore, ‘The |Bryan Spectre, as it is somewhere described, does not give me the shivers. This may be as good a time as any other to bury the 16 to 1 issue.’’ “The war of expansion is not an issue, in your opinion?’ was asked. “It is idle for any party to attempt a criticism of the conduct of the war or a rebuke for the administration that has car- ried it to a successful conglusion,” replied the former Postmaster-General. “Nobody at this time can afford to be dogmatic as to the future course of Amer- ican politics,’ said Senator William Lind- say at the Fifth Avenue Hotel to-day. ‘The present outlook is that Bryan will control the Democratic convention. All the porties will denounce trusts, of course. But f the present condition of 'proégperity con- tinues—and the indications gre that it will— no party that makes prominent any issue that disturbs standards of value can hope to succeed before the people. All other questions, such as expansion and trusts, will be treated as subordinate to the finan- cial question. “Free silver is reactionary, we all know, because it overturns the commercial con- ditions that have existed since 1878.’’ What can be done to check the growth of trusts?” was-asked. It is not so much additional legislation to suppress trusts that is wanted as the repeal of legislation which promotes them. The protective tariff, for instance, pro- motes trusts. So does all legislation that facilitates the creation of frorporations to transact business that individuals ought to carry on. The avoidan of individual liability in the transaction bf what should be a partnership business ig the attractive feature about corporate trusts from the view-point of the capitalist.

FOUR OF THEM PRINCIPALS. — he ii ane AUPERINTENDENT SOLDAN IS GIVEN CARTE BLANCHE. Teachers Omitted From Next Year’s List Have the Right of Appeal to the School Board. “What is termed by the Board of Education ' the work of increasing the efficiency of the public schools of St. Louis has begun. It ia to be continued until new blood and new methods have been infused. The board says that inefficient teachers and teachers who have outgrown their ‘usefulness will have to go. Principals will mot be spared. If, under this weeding out by the superintendent the service is not improved as the School Board thinks it then a new superintendent may be tried The board has become convinced that the fstandagd needs to be raised in the St. Louis ‘public schools and has determined that it Shall be raised at whatever cost may be necessary. At the meeting of the board next Tuesday j@vening Supt. Soldan’s lst of selections for jmext year’s corps of principals and teachers ‘will be presented. Thirty-seven names which were on the list last year will not be on it this vear. Of this number three or four are principals. The weeding out was done at the instance of the board. It told Supt. Soldan that ‘the standard of efficiency was too low. He claimed ‘the was not responsible, because many of the teachers were put on by former boards. He was told to let out all the in- efficient teachers without regard to any Other consideration than merit. “The burden of improving the service.” faid Director Schroers Friday, ‘“‘has been laid upon the superintendent. He has been given carte blanche by the board to raise the standard of efificieney. If he does not do it the board will hold ‘him responsible “The trouble is that a great many of the principals and teachers have been in the schools 2 or 30 years, and their methods are those of 30 years ago. New blood is needed and new methods are required. - “The persons who are not on this vear’s list will be given, an opportunity to be heard in their owh behalf. If they can convince the Commitiee on Irstruction that they aie capatle or taht th ‘vy have been discriminated against in anv way. they may be retained. On account of my aggressive- ness Supf Soldan and myself are not on the best of terms, but I beil'eve he is an hon- est gentleman, and has prepared the lst with an eye solely to merit. “It is the wish of some of the members of the board to introduce the merit sys- tem to govern promotions. Under the pres- ent system of promotion by succession assistants stand practically no @hamnce of rising. The effect is to deprive them of ambition. I am in favor of annual examinations, the teachers making the best showing at these to he first promoted. A fourth assistant would thus be entitled to Strive for a first assistantship, and there ‘a no reason why she should not rece've the appointment if she is competent. “I want to say there has been no discrim- inatiow against Catholics in the selection of the names to be dropped. I have scrutin- ‘ged the I'st with this in mind. [ found that there were fewer Catholics than protest- ants on jt. T-am the only Catholic member of the boerd. If there should be any at- tempt to discriminate in this way I would pe the first to notice it and protest against “T was pained to notice that there were a@ go00d many Germans on the list but if they are incompetent they ought to go.’ —_—-- > SCHOOL BOARD NEEDS MONEY. ~But the Board Doesn’t Know How to Increase the Tax Rate. ‘The work of the Board of Education is £eriously hampered by lack of funds, and the outlook for the coming fiscal] year, he- ginning in June, is discouraging. The board will establish 118 new rooms next year. but will be able,to build no more new school- uses, nor can it make the many im- rovements necessary, either in the old uildings or the courses of study, especially Pn an hool. i“ e St. uls Board of Education is in a peculiar position. By the State law it levies its own taxes and cares for its own venue. It may levy up to $1 per $1000. oN m wd 4 is ~ cents, which, how- » 18 too loW to bring in the required funds. The board in 1899-1900 will “have nly $131,000 to spend, outside of its fixed ezpenses, and $106,000 of this is already taken, leaving only $26,000 for an emerzenev fund. Salaries are increasing, expenses are becoming heavier, demands are made for school buildings and for improvements old ones and money is badly ne«ded. Why doesn’t the board increase (tke tax ? Because it can’t. It is in a peculiar tion. While the State law fixes the maxi- um rate at $1 and the present rate is onlv 4 cents, the board can figura out no way ‘Whereby it may increase this 40-cent rate to a figure that will give it a reasonable Tevenue. For the same State law that fixed the rate provided that a change could be made only by vote of the tax-pavers of St. Louis. And the board can device no ‘Way whereby only tax-paying voters shell “vote. Forty cents was the rate when the laW went into effect years ago, and 40 cente Te the rate to-day. If a wavy to solve the problem this law presents is evolved. the rate will be increased, and that speedily t no way has been found vet. The board's attorney is working on it, and the Attorney-General of the State has been asked to aid. If an election were held and one man who Was not a taX-paver were to vote the election would be invalid. If a delin- quent tax-payer voted. would it? No one can say. That is a point the board needs a ruling on. The situation is becoming serious and decided action ‘is imperative This will be one of the most serious ques- tions before the board's next annual meet- ing, to be held in June.

At the speakers’ table were seated the honored guests, with President C. H. Flach, while at the other tables, at right dangles to it, were the members and their women guests. The menu card was in the form of a pud- ding, and the proof of it was surely in the eating of the good things named init. After the guests: finished that duty, they read the list of speakers and toasts, and on the last age saw the words and music of ‘The uckeye State,’ written by W. J. Blakele and Prof. W.-H. Pommer, which W. C. McCreery = during the evening. The Rev S. C.
