Carmack, Tenn., Continues Criticism of Philippine Committee. Combatted by Foraker, McComas, Bur ton-Upheld by Culberson. Washington, May 1.—Aguinaldo was the* special subject of discussion in the Senate, today. As soon as the I 'hilippine government liill was taken ill'. 'armai j;, Tenn., resumed ids cfili; ism ol tiie I'hilippjne eommittee because of its refusal to call Aguinaldo and other Filipinos as witnesses. He ntainlai.. liiat as rcllections by wit nesses bail lie.-n cast on the character ol Atruinaldo Ip- ought to be permit led "in all decency” to defend hint si If. armai k's contention was sharply combatted by Kora Iter, Ohio, McConias, Mil., and Kurton, Kas.

'I'he resolution offered by Patterson, Colo., yesterday, whic h precipitated a two hours’ debate, then was laid before the Senate. Patterson modified his resolution so that it requested the President to cause the secretary of war immediate ly to cable Major Clardoner to return lo tiie I’nited States without delay to ifive testimony before the Philippine committee. Temporarily the resolution was laid aside1 and consideration was resumed of tiie bill providing; for the- purchase of tin* Rosebud reservation in South Dakota from the Sioux Indians. ithout action on tin' Indian reser vation Dill the Senate resumed consid c ration of the Philippine DiII and Car mack, Tenn., continued his remarks of yesterday. He said he could see no good reason for the majority’s refusal to summon Aguinaldo, Alabina and other Filipinos to appear as witnesses before* the committee. General Fun ston had said that Aguinaldo had con fessed to him that he (Aguinaldo) had had fain a assassinated, because I,una was becoming too popular. Gov. Taft had testified that General Funston had said Aguinaldo had had Luna killed lest Luna should kill him. Foraker wanted to know what the killing of lama, by another Filipino had to do v ith the Senate's action on the pending Dill. Carmack said it had been the pur pose' of the majority of the Philippine committee to show that Aguinaldo was a thief, l>ey-taker and murderer, and he nrgeel that in common fairness, \suinaldo ought to be heard in his own defence. Tillman, S. C., insisted that “decency demand’s that Aguinaldo he brought hove to testify in his own behalf." Dubois said it seemed strange that, afte-r the committee had d‘*cidf'd not to summon Aguinaldo as a witness, Gen. Mac Arthur fe>r the first time' had te*s tilied, today, that Aguinaldo was a man ot high character. uimtrson, Tex., had read a letter from thr secretary of war in which ho showed the expmidturefl in his last an nual report and in which ho Raid thill it “has not boon customary for tho war department to arrange accounts of ex penditures with reference to tho place where tile ultimate service depending upon them is rendered. No separate nr. count has ever lion kept of expendi tures of the army according to the dif !eir-nt localities in which troops might In’ stationed for carrying on military oIterations. It is therefore impracti cable to answer your questions with out discharging a large ntimht r of Icrks from the current work of the department which can lie kept up only by their unremitting efforts." Carmack declared that this letter was simply a pari of the policy of suppres sion and falsification which had been fol lowed CVI r since the beginning of the Philippine business. IP hail read a letter sent to the general manager of The As sociated Press by Kobert M. Collins, i*.j Manila eorrespoiah nt. and deelatu d I ha; tile letter demonstrated that the news in tin* Philippines was suppressed not as a miiitar) necessity lint to protect the in terests of tile Keptiliiican party. P.llrliin -f ausr Rus sia is making tin* best use of her time. Her position at sea is daily growing stronger,” said tile eount. "and great interests are at take in China.” Referring to his relations with the Frenoh forces during the Chinese troubles. Count Von Waldersee said: “The common intellectual relations ex isting bet ween Franco and Germany found expression in various ways dur ing the events in China. "The idea of revenge,” added' the eount. "is no longer alive in the young generation in France. This young gen t-ration reeognir.es that German unity, which the war of 1.S70 was designed to prevent, cannot be reversed, anti that France's life interests, today, .demand the strengthening civilization of a great colonial empire.” Continuing, Count Von Waldersee said: “The reserved attitude of many Russian officers during the China affair showed that the anti-German senti ment which was cherished in Russia after the Berlin congress was not yet extinguished." TORNADO IN INDIA. Towns Laid Waste anti Several Hun dred People Killed. Simla, India. May 1.—A tornado struck I’osgola. the afternoon of April 23. Front I’osgola it moved to Sana ehar, where the India General Cos’, war -houses were destroyed by a great wave, which was whirled out of the river by the wind. Kverywliere in the l>ath of the cyclone huts, trees, the ioofs of houses and people were car ried into the air like paper. Thiijty one persons -were kjlled at Sanachar; lie were killed near Dacca, 175 were killed at Nagalband, while 100 were killed at Barnighat. A tornado derusted the oily of Cae ca, India, and adjoining towns. Four hundred and sixteen persons were killed. Crops were ruined throughout the district. Dacca, a city of ltengal, has a famous place in the history of British India. It is situated 150 miles northeast of Calfutta. In the 17th century it was the capital of Bengal. Til 1SSO it had a population of 200.000 and was noted for ils product r fine muslins, which were brown as “woven wind." Growing imports of Manches ter cottons ruined its industries, how ever, and by 1 M» 1 the population had dwindled to 82,000. MILLS FIRM STAND. Lowell Owners Will Not Advance Wares and Adopt Strict Rules. Lowell, Mass., May 1.—The treasur ers of the local cotton mills have de clined the request of the citizens com mittee for another conference, stating that business is not as good now as at the time of tlie last meeting and that an advance in wages is impossible. A notice has been posted in the weave rooms of every mill in Lowell announc ing the adoption of certain rules, the most important of which are: “While not objecting to union men, or proposing to discriminate against them we shall exercise our right to hire others and also to introduce learners. Fixers are to work the full number of hours for which they are paid." CUBAN SUGAR. i Investigation Begun Into Hold ings of Sugar and Lands. Pres. Havemeyer of the American Sugar Co. Takes the Stand. Doubtful If Anyone Now Knows Mors of Trust's Business. Washington. May 1.—The inquiry Into tin present holding of Cuban sugar and 1 tilhiti sugar lands, ordered by tin* Senate, was b gun. today, by the sub ommittee on Cuban relations. Presi .Jeni Henry i llavcmeyer of the Ann r nan Sugar lb-lining Co. was the first witness and all of the members of the sub-committee. were in attendance. Senator l’atterson also was present, others pr.-sent with Mr. Havemeyer were Arthur Homier, treasurer of the company, and Henry C. Mott, Its raw sugar buyer. All of them were sworn. Ifoplying to questions by Senator I'latt, Mr. H said hia company was- generally known ns the Sugar Trust and that its refineries were lo cated as follows: In New Jersey, I; V o Voi k, Massachusetts, 2; Phila delphia, 2, and one jn New Orleans. ""'ill y>u.” Senator Platt asked, tell the committee bow much Cuban sugar, if any, lias been purchased and is now* held by your company?" Siiier- early in February last we have purr based f.e.oon tons or 2»k".00u liags, or abelli 10 .lays' supply," replied the w it ti.-ss. "i»r that quantity 2tl.OOO tons is now in proeess of shipment from Cuba." I in- prices paid had, he said, ranged from $l...i to $i.;i:t, the highest price be ing paid on March 13 and the lowest on April 22. hi-rt- iio you liiiy your raw sugar?" All over the world, in Cuba, Java, Hamburg. Trieste, the Mritish West In i'!'''"- South America, wherever sugar is grow n." i toes (lie r,0.000 tons you mention rep resent your entire purchases in Cuba since the first of January-?" "No: we have bought all told 93,000 tons of Cuban sugars (luring the pres nt year, or about three-fourths of a mouth's supply, our consumption being about .-.5,000 tons per week.” Uo you control any sugar in Cuba oilier than that purchased?” "None whatever, in any manner." "Have you taken options on Cuban sugars?” "I have not.” Have you made any advance on any Cuban sugar?” "None whatever.” "So that you wish to be understood as saying that the amount you have mentioned as having purchased repre sents your entire interest, direct and indirect, in Cuban sugar?" That is the stall mi nt I make." Continuing Mr. Haveineyer said the entire Cuban sugar crop is about 750, 000 tons, Vuit that much of it has been withheld from the market in view of possible tariff concessions to lie made by- Congress. On this account his pur chases had been only- about one-third of the average of other years, on this account, too, the purchases had been made principally at outpnrta where tin storage facilities were poof, rather than at Havana. The purchases from the outports had caused the sales there to lie made on a parity with the beet su gar prices. Speaking of the capacity- of his com pany lie said that it refined 65 per cent, of tin- American refined sugar product. He added that the percentage of this company's product compared to the entire sugar consumption of the United States was about 50 per cent. Hast year his company produced 1,200,000 tons of the refined sugar, while the consumption was 2,100,000 tons. Heturnlng to the purchase of Cuban sugar Tor the present year Mr. Have meycr gave figures of purchases for oilier years to show the relative vol ume of tin- current acquisitions, say ing that ill 1892, 254.000 tons hail been bought; in 1S93, 246,000 tons; in 1894, 321,000. In reply to other questions he said that the price of raw sugar in the United States is fixed by the best market prices In Hamburg. The price there fixes the selling price for the entire world, said Mr. Haveineyer. On the subject of the 1 rice of Cuban sugars, he. said that his company could not determine their price. "We have,” he said, "no control over them whatever; they don't belong to us.” ••Cuba has to sell her sugar in this market, hasn't she?" "No. that is not true. She can Sell in England, for Instance, if she is de (Contlnued on page 2.)

Senor Palma was greatly pleased with the reception accor led him by the Ameri can troops, who paid him all the honors due to a President o! the republic. LESS BEEF EATEN. Chicago Packers Admit a Falling off of About 371/2 Per Cent. Chicago, May 1.—That the consumption of beef has fallen off ST1-} per cent, since the agitation against the packers began, was admitted by leading packers seen by a reporter, today. The percentage given averages the calculations of the packers seen. Prices held steady during the forenoon, chiefly, it was said, because some export orders were being filled. One thousand beef cattle—not lO.OU), as was reported— were left over from yesterday. Opinions varied as to whether trade, today, would clean up th*» 0000 head received. One buyer said that there would be more than 1000 left over, while another ex pressed the opinion that the export busi ness would clean up the lot. A repre sentative of one ot the packing houses, said Hut the yards have received ftHiO head of cattle, today: a. year ago today, the receipts were 17.7.11 head. Receipts for April were estimated at approximately 140,000 head less than for the same month a year ago. Mother Poisons Children and Herself. Denver. Col., May 1.—Mrs. John L.

Vinol Can Prevent It- _ Ccnsnmpt inn is not hereditary. The best physicians today tell us so. A predisposition to the trouble, how ever, is to be feared. If any of you have had ancestors who suffered from this awful disease or died from it, then you should take particular care. Your system is such that under favor able circumstances tho disease germ is likely to lind a resting place, take root, flourish, develop and end as all consump tive cases must end eventually in death. The person susceptible to this disease is like ground, favorable for the cultivation of certain seeds, the seed once placed on such ground thrives and flourishes. If you will only come in and let ns talk with you. we can tell you better in a few minutes’ personal conversation all that Vinol can do to cure coughs and pre vent consumption than we can describe to you in pages of type. But, briefly we will state for the benefit of our many friends that we know that Vinol invigor ates the stomach, enriches the blood, creates flesh and gives to the taker strength, and thus throws off disease. This is done because it contains those valuable medicinal ingredients iua high ly concentrated state that made Cod Liver Oil famous. The advantage of Vinol over the old forms of Cod Liver Oil lies in the fact that the medicinal elements are contained in a much more powerful state, and the disagreeable and obnoxious grease that was suclfa drawback to Cod Liver Oil is entirely eliminated. Tli* following letter on this subject may in terest you. “After using Vinol in my family for about six months, I deem it my duty to say something in its behalf. My wife had a cough last winter and I thought she would go into consumption but I got two bottles of Vinol for her which cured the cough and helped her in many other ways. Since taking it she has not even bad a cold.”, A. J. Stuakt, Alex andria City, Ala. Remember we guarantee that Vinol will always do all we claim for it and al ways stand ready to refund the cost of the medicine to anyone who is not satisfied that what we claim is true.

A r oiution was adopted which calh'd upon the civil service commission for in formation regarding appointments, etc. A hill was passed to provide that third; and fourth-class mail matter without suf lieit nt postage shall not be re-mailed to the sender. The House then resumed the considera tion of District of Columbia appropria tion hill. In the course of debate, Shai tuc (Ohio) mat!** an extended speech on the labor conditions of the country. As to immigration. Mr. Shattuc said: “Another serious faqtor in the problem is immigration. The addition of 5,tKNt,000 Immigrants t«* tin* labor supply of our country since 1890 and a current inertasr of ooo.iMiO yearly form a menace to tlie la bor of our land should a period of dt ].r* ssion again visit our industries. The result will b«‘ a positive reduction in the standard of wages, the standard of living and the standard of civilization. Thexv immigrants have mostly settled in the manufacturing stales and cities, thus in tensifying tin* perplexities of the situa tion should depression come. trhattuc also discussed industrial corn-, binations, labor organizations, the right, of employes to strike and the gradual im provement of conditions existing between labor and capital. Gaines (Tenn.) denounced conditions in the Philippines, declaring that our army was making a howling wilderness of the islands of Samar and Cebu. The District of Columbia appropriation bill was laid aside and Saturday next set apart for private bills reported by the committee on claims. At 5.05 1*. M., the House adjourned.

GEN. MacARTHUR Continues Testimony Before Senate Philippine Investigating Committee. Washington, May 1.—Major (Sen. Mac Arthur, today, continued hiS testi mony lvdore the Senate committee or. the Philippines. Answering a question by Senator Culberson, the general stat ed that AguinaJdo and the Filipino people were justified in concluding that the actions of the United States army were sympathetic. The Filipinos, he said, were in a re sentful and vindictive opposition to j Spain and any action of force on their part against Spain naturally helped the Jnited States, and vice versa; but he aioliey. General Merritt, he said, was under he strictest orders not to commit the [overnment, but Aguinaldo was anx ous to make an artificial record which vould oblige Gen. Merritt to do some hing he did not want to do. “The Filipino," said Gen. MacArthur, ‘has quite a comprehensive knowledge >t I .a till diplomacy. Aguinaldo was anded at Manila aboard an American cars hip because he was a useful indi vidual who could be employed in a nanner that would contribute to And ean success." Gen. MacArthur described the as sistance rendered by the Filipinos to the United States army when it first landed at Manila, and said that on ac count of their diverting the lire of the Spaniards the resistance to the United States forces was somewhat lessened. Gen. MaeArthui ex pressed the opin ion that the rebellion against Spain did not have independence for its object. Itefore leaving Manila Gen.

AN OLD SORE Will sour the sweetest disposition and transform the most even tempered, lov able nature into a cross-grained and irritable individual. If impatience or fault-finding are ever excusable it is when the body is tortured by an eating and painful sore. It is truly discouraging to find after months ol diligent and laituiui use oi external remeuies uiai me piiec remains as defiant, angry and offensive as ever. Kvery chronic sore, no matter on what part of the body it comes, is an evidence of some previous constitutional or organic trouble, and that the dregs of these diseases remain in the system; or, it may be that some long hidden poison—perhaps Cancer—has come to the surface and begun its destructive work.

May 1.—May day strikes were quite numerous throughout New England, today, although no particularly serious industrial disturbance had been reported up to this afternoon. The spring of 1902 will long lie remem bered for its recoid-breaking number of strikes and lockouts in the New Enginin' states, but in many branches of industrv the difficulties were settled before the ap proach of May day. The city of Boston was remarkably free from strikes, this morning; in fact, tinri was little or no trouble, and but for the long standing brewers' difficulty and tic strike last week of the tin can workers the atmosphere would lie practically dear. The carpenters, bakers and tip cart driv ers have grievances but it is though1 most of these will be adjusted without a strike.

Talk of the withdrawal of the United States from the Philippines is based on an inaccurate and incomplete knowl edge of conditions nut there. This coun try coul l not withdraw. Chaos would he the result. My observations have convinced me that the natives are not yet capable of self-government. They need a guiding hand, and now that we have undertaken the task we cannot for the sake of humanity withdraw un til the work is completed.” The crew and officers of the marines of the Rrooklyn assembled on her deck, late today, and presented to Rear Ad miral ltemoy a loving cup.

THEY CANNOT PLAY, Enjoined Plays Will Not Ee in Game. Today, at Philadelphia. Philadelphia, May 1.—Counsel for the Philadelphia American League baseball club, today, appeared in the court ef common pleas to enter bond pending nil appeal to be made to the supreme court in the case of Second Baseman Lajoie and Pitchers Bernhard and Frazer, for merly of the local National League dub, who were enjoined, Tuesday of last week, from playing with the Amer ican. League Club. Anticipating that an injunction would be applied for by the National League I clubs to restrain Delehanty, Wolver ton, Townsend and Orth, formerly Phil adelphia National League players but now members of the Washington Amer ican League team, from playing in the opening game here, tomorrow, an effort was also made by counsel for the latter organization to enter security for the se fout players pending the appeal to the supreme court in the ease of the en joined players. Owing to the absence front thr city of Judge ltalstort, who granted the in junction, action-in both cases was post poned until Monday, The absence of Judge Ralston will prevent the appear ance of Lajoie, Bernhard or Fraser in the game, tomorrow.

May 1.—Never in I the history of labor troubles on Cape I Ann has there been such a complete tie-up of industries as at the present time, resulting from the act of last night's meeting of several hundred j MU.ary workers, when they voted to strike, this morning, for an increase of wages and a shorter work day. Over soo men refused to go to work, this morning, at the different quarries and they are now awaiting developments of a proposed conference between the labor leaders and the quarry owners. A few men were at work, today, tiuish ing the loading of two vessels at the wharves. The quarry owners have made an of fer to th(> strike I. aders to pay the ex I ens s of two representatives of the unios to visit several other quarries outside the state for the purpose of in vestigating the conditions of the gran ite industries and satisfy themselves tli.it Cape Ann workmen are receiving as high wages as are paid elsewhere for similar work.

Address all communications relating to subscriptions and advertisements to BURLEIGH FLYNT, Publishers, Augusta, Maine. American Club Women. During the week a score of special trains have been flying across the con tinent bearing thousands of delegates to the sixth biennial meeting of the General Federation of women’s clubs which began, yesterday, at Los Angeles, California. Maine is well represented there; we recorded the departure of the delegates, a week ago. And so is every state in the Union, and even Kngland, France, Italia, Russia, Aus tralia and other lands beyond the seas will be represented at this great gathering. It was estimated that ful ly 5,000 women would be gathered there, all full of enthusiasm for the great club movement and loyalty to their central organization which they established a dozen years ago, and have since kept up with rapidly in creasing membership. We have not the latest figures at hand, but the fourth biennial convention, held at Denver in 1S9S, showed that the feder ation included over 2.700 clubs with a membership of 200,000 women. It is certain that these figures have largely increased, perhaps nearly doubled, in the past four years. Women’s clubs are now recognized as a permanent institution in Ameri can life. More than that, they are recognized as n power for the good of the home and the community, and the sneer and the ridicule which greeted their appearance have long since died away. Thu growth of the movement, as indicated above, liiis been marvel ous. Ily no means, are the clubs con lined to cities, for almost every village of any size now has its woman's club, or several of them, organized, perhaps with different aims, but all seeking the mental advancement* of#the sex and the practical use of its'-jinfluence in matters of pnblic wei/ore. Just as everything which has its.use is capable of abuse, so-the woman's club. If it takes too much of the ttrjig.' ahd thought of its member, ugiy b'e.ap in f jury to her lTom* life -and dauke un happiness to those, she. loves. There is one grave quostionM^comc before the present convention,.,{ho vexed race problem. An jlpjiyiiblci and satisfactory solution will be a most difficult matter, and some fear it is a rock upon which the federation will split. We cannot help wondering what a national federation of men's clubs would do under similar circumstances. By the way, the men have never made an effort toward such a federation and It Is not probable it would be a suc cess. A Cheerful Democrat. After Colonel Watterson had his bad spell of seeing things—man on horse back in the White House, the republic Mexicanized, and ail that sort of thing be fell back in a state of exhaustion and nothing was heard from him for several weeks. But liis collapse was more apparent than real; he was sim ply giving the country a chance to think over his remarks. The inspira tion of a Kentucky spring has warmed him to life again, and he de votes a two column editorial in his paper to the utter annihilation of some reckless critic who called him a “pessimist." This is the way he goes ut it: “What makes you call the editor of The Courier-Journal a ‘pessimist' What has he ever done to you that you should accuse him of a thing like that'.’ Why not call him ‘an individual' at once, and have done with It? He is an optimist—whatever that may mean—an optimist from the crown of his head to the soles of his feet. Proof? Why, he is sure that the Democrats will elect the next House hands down, and he lives in the hope of carrying the next presidential election! Nor docs he despair of his country meanwhile. He has not turned in the fire alarm for nothing. He has entire faith In the fire department—that is, the people of the United States, who will never vote to sustain either the wicked and foolish proceedings on the other side of the world, or the villainous Robber Tariff on this." This Is reassuring. Colonel Watter son cheerful is a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Colonel Watterson in the dumps is a national calamity. While other Democrats, eyeing each other suspiciously and keeping one hand on the hip pockety repeat solemnly the parrot phrase, "Get together;" while no ray of hope illumines the office of the Commoner; while Hill and Gorman sit apart in gloom, and Croker sits further apart in England: while Raw lings. Corntack and other Democrats in Washington bewail the death of the republic and the menacing rise of bloody imperialism;—while these things are going on Colonel Watterson is cheerful, and in his sanctum the star-eyed goddess soars and shrieks as of old. It is a pleasing spectacle, and the country should pass a unanimous vote of thanks to the genial and brilliant Kentucky editor. A cheerful Democrat in these times should be en couraged.

As an example of what the great and growing Southwest can do in the newspaper business we have been much interested in looking over the con federate reunion issue of the Dallas. Texas. News, published April ‘.’3. It is a 73 page issue and is little short of be ing a history, in prose, poetry and pic ture, ol the Civil War and of the South since the war, particularly of Texas and Dallas. In its features and its general appearance the paper would be a credit to any newspaper office in the country and its publishers may well feel proud of it. And it is in the spirit of the whole paper, of the reunion it self and of the new South that the beautiful female figure on the first page of the issue is holding up the fiag of the reunited Union. Japan is catching the exposition fever and proposes to have a big in ternational show in 1903. The man agement has been urging the St. Louis people to put off their exposition until 1904. We do not believe the Japs need to worry about that. The St. Louis exposition is more likely to come in 1905 than in 1903. The full story of that brawl in Venice has not yet been told on this side, but it is painfully evident that nothing unpleasant would have hap pened had not the American naval officers been drunk. Here is hoping that Mr. Moody proves as successful and popular a secretary of the navy as Mr. Long has been for the past live years. More than that he cannot be. They are giving l’resident-elect Palma such a good time down in Cuba that he probably will not get homesick until after his inauguration, anyway. The explosion on the Fulton, though not a very serious affair, will not tend to promote the popularity of sub marine craft in the navy.

Last call for Memorial day orators. Tin-re are a few good orations from which the dust has not yet been brushed. There are a few hints being dropped that Howdoin’s endowment fund will receive some handsome additions, this spring. And perhaps that new gym nasium will come along. An old saying has it that when the leaf of the maple—or is it ot the elm?— gets as large as a mouse's ear it is time to plant corn.

The scheme is a good one undobutedly and the company encampment will without question be a valuable adjunct to that of the regi ment at Augusta, later in the sum mer. A Portland dog attempted to com mit suicide, this week. It wasn't so much the approach of the time when the annual license must be paid as it was the short rope in which he be came entangled when a cat tempted him by passing too near. Oakes, the left handed twirler of the liowdoin nine who pitched the winning game against Dartmouth, this week, is the son of Dr. Walace K. Oakes of Auburn, and it is interesting coinci dence that Dr. Oakes was tile pitcher of the Bowdoin nine in the late '60s— he graduated in ’70—and also pitched a winning game against Dartmouth. It is hardly in accordance with the facts ef athletic history, however, to state, as tne Lewiston Journal does, that these are the only games Bowdoin ever won from Dartmouth. Auburn lias furnished many good ball players, and it was another boy from that city, Willard T. Libby; Bowdoin ’09, who pitched a winning game against Dart mouth, a few years ago. Speaking of Dartniouth-Bowdoin baseball games, it is worth noting in this connection that tile sport was introduced in the New Hampshire college by a Bowdoin man. Dwinel F. Thompson, a mem ber of tile class of ’(i7 at Bowdoin, who learned the game at that college, left Bowdoin at the end of his sophomore year and went to Dartmouth where he introduced the sport, and he is still re ferred to there as “the father of Dart mouth baseball.'' He. like the othei players referred to above, was an Au burn boy and later became a college professor in New York.
