Much of the feeling exhibited by the German press towards the United States government was directly traceable to a denial by the State Department of just such a claim preferred by Germany to be excepted from the operations of the countervailing duty clause in the sugar sections of the American tariff act on the ground that other nations were permitted to send their sugar to the United States free from this duty, and the State Department has always avoided. wherever possible, any action that might cause further conflicts of this kind. THE “OPEN-DOOR” POLICY. How Senator < handler Construes the Mncli-DtacUKsed Phrase. NEW YORK, Dec. 3.—Senator William E. Chandler, of New Hampshire, in an interview with a Washington correspondent of the Tribune, had this to say about the scope and meaning of the “open door” tariff policy which may be put in operation temporarily in the Philippines: “There seems to be a general misunderstanding of the ‘open door’ policy of the administration. The phrase in its present application is somewhat misleading. I have heard it contended that if we inaugurated this policy foreign nations who are in closer proximity to the Philippines than the United States will have great advantage over us In the matter of trade. Now ,as a matter of fact, this policy will not continue for any great length of time. The President has. no authority to prescribe permanent tariff laws for the Philippines: that is a congressional function and must be exercised exclusively by Congress when the islands have reached their normal peace conditions. The President, in the execution of his duties, has only the right to demand that Spain evacuate the Islands and turn them over to the United States. Then he sets up a military government until such time as Congress may act. It rests with Congress to establish a permanent scheme of commercial relations and tariff administration. "After Spain has left the Islands, the military branch of tho government takes charge. Then comes the ‘open door’ policy. The tariff rates are prescribed by the military government, which shall apply not only to European nations, but to the United States as well. No nation on earth is given an advantage. The object Is solely to raise enough revenue to pay off the $20,000,000 to Spain. That money will come from revenue derived from England, France, Germany. America; in fact, every nation. It can be seen, therefore, that foreign nations, on account of their convenient situation to the Philippines, will have no raoterial advantages over the United States. We want to raise the $20,000,000 to pay to Spain and, instead of being to our disadvantage, it will be to our benefit if these nations can increase their trade to the Philippines for the time being, thus increasing the customs receipts. “The ‘open door’ policy will prevail only so long as it is necessary to raise the J20,(MX),000, which it is tgretd to pay Spain. After this money is raised then it will be the time for Congress to act. It will enact such tariff legislation as it deems proper. If it is decided to annex the islands, then customs duties will be prescribed which will not give any foreign nation an advantage over us in the matter of trade. We will have free and unrestricted intercourse with the islands, while foreign nations will be obliged to pay duties on the products that they import. Hence, it can be seen that the ’open door’ policy is only a temporary measure, and instead of being to our disadvantage, will redound to our benefit. "If Congress decides to grant the Filipinos their independence, then they will probably he obliged to pay us the $20,000,000 which we are to give to Spain. I find that the main opposition to the annexation of the Philippines comes from people who have all along been opposed to the independence of Cuba. They are disappointed in the fact that Cuba has been freed, and, in line with their views on this subject, are opposed to the acquisition of the Philippines by the United States. Tho cry of ‘imperialism’ is a misplaced one and is not only misunderstood, but entirely unwarranted.’’

Views of Senator Kyle. CHICAGO, Dec. 3.—“ President McKinley can never get tho members of the present Senate to ratify the treaty soon to be signed at Pari3 by the peace commissioners of the United States and Spain,’’ said Senator Kyle, of South Dakota, who stopped here yesterday on his way to Washington. “The United States, the victor, should not be bound to pay $20,000,000 to the vanquished, Spain. Such a payment establishes a dangerous precedent, to say the*, least. Then I do not believe that we want the Philippines at all. One island with a good harbor would be of use as a naval station, but whatever can we do with a lot of islands with such a cosmopolitan population as that of the Philippines? Say we make colonies of them. There is no place in our general policy for colonial possessions. And by taking them wo must discard the Monroe doctrine, for how can we object to Europeans interfering in American affairs now that we have attempted to meddle in the politics of another hemisphere?” NOT HOSTILE TO FILIPINOS. (Bermans at Manila Fbtot Insurgent* —Caplm Evacuated by Spaniard*. MANILA, Dec. 3.—The Hong-Kong newspapers, having asserted that the attitude of the Germans here was hostile to the insurgents, the Germans of Manila have circulated a statement saying the Germans are thoroughly friendly towards the Filipinos. This statement is signed by the German consul and the German business Arms. The natives infer that the Germans are favorable to the independent faction. Advices from Capiz say the Spaniards have abandoned that town, and that eight hundred insurgents, with eight cannon, advanced upon it on Nov. 24. is a city and is the capital, of the province of the same name, in the Island of Panay. It is on the north coast of the Island and is the residence of a Spanish governor. It is mostly built of wood, and Is defended by a small fort. It has a population of over eleven thousand persons. Telegraph Line* to Be Built. SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3—Lieut. Col. Frank G. Greene, United States volunteer signal corps, signal officer of the Department of California, has been ordered to get ready and forward several hundred miles of telegraph apparatus for the use of Colonel Thompson, chief signal officer in Manila. This in addition to the complete equipment which the volunteer signal corps took to the Philippines, will make the telegraph facilities in the islands very complete. + COMMENTS OF GERMANS. 'What Leading Editor* Say About the Negotiatiqu* at Pari*. (Copyright, IS9B, by the Associated Press.) BERLIN, Dec. 3.—Spain’s acceptance of the terms of the United States has naturally keenly interested the German government and press, although, adhering to its policy consistently followed throughout, the goverhment has uttered no opinion either in Interviews or through the medium of the semi-official press. But the newspapers generally admit that hereafter the United States must be seriously reckoned with in international politics and as a colonial power whose push and energy may interfere with the ambitions of other powers. The German papers therefore predict frequent political complications for the United States. The Cologne Gazette attributes Europe’s noninterference in the peace negotiations at Paris to mutual jealousies, and expresses tho opinion that the Americans will find the new colonies a greater source of trouble than they suspect. The Lokal Anzeiger says the American government will probably eschew compulsory general military service in America, but that its hired forces will come largely from Cuba, the Philippine Islands. Central and South America and cast Asia, "thus reviving the mediaeval system of mercenary troops.” The Vorwaerts declares that “it is already certain that England will find her main competitor in the American as well ns in the east Asian markets to be not Germany, but the United States, and, not merely commercially speaking, the United States is a rising star, and between the United States and Great Britain the light for the exploitation of these districts will begin.” The Deutsche Zeitung has published a long editorial regretting that Germany had not Intervened between Spain and the United States, and concluding as follows: “And can wc obtain nothing from the Spanish colonial estate, which is visibly, piece by piece, being sold at auction?’’ An Impertinent Editor. MADRID, Dec. 3.—The Imparcial to-day, eomtcu&nting on the statement that the Unit** States intends to fully re-establish

relations with Spain, asks if the United States “proposes to send a new’ ultimatum imposing friendship.” After to-day’s Cabinet meeting Duke Almodovar de Rios, minister of foreign affairs, stated that he did not believe the treaty of peace between the United States and Spain would be signed before the meeting of the American Congress. Several points, he said, were still unsettled, and new’ instructions will be telegraphed to Senor Montero Rios, president of the Spanish commission, to-morrow. A CALIFORNIA MYSTERY.

Over one hundred men w’ere engaged in sweeping the main thoroughfare. The refuse was taken to Paula wharf, where it was towed out to sea in skows and dumped ten miles from the land. Colonel Hecker left for the United States this afternoon, going from here tp Tampa. His journey is undertaken for the purpose of attending the wedding of his daughter, which takes place on Dec. 12. Colonel Hecker expects to return early in January. He has accomplished much in the last fortnight in the way of simplifying the classification of goods and consummating agreements with different railroad lines for the transportation of American troops and supplies at rates advantageous to the American government. The Spanish transport Gran Antailla sailed to-day for Spain with 1,447 Spanish troops; the Fulda will sail on Monday and the Werra, San Ignacio and Juan Forgas on Tuesday, each carrying two thousand soldiers. The Spanish commission was advised today that by Monday next the evacuation of Batabano and the entire line to San Felipe would be finished. This will complete the evacuation of the entire end of the island west of those points.

Dec. 3.—A special to the Tribune from Washington says: "Surgeon General Wyman, of the Marine Hospital Service, has received a report from Dr. W. R. Brunner, the United States sanitary inspector at Havana, covering the week ending Nov. 21, which shows little or no improvement in the health conditions of that city, in spite of the efforts now being made to prepare it lor the American army of occupation. In the week there were 440 deaths, giving an annual death rate of 114.40 per 1,000, most of them being due to the filthy condition of the city and the lack of good food. Yellow fever, malarial fever, enteric fever and pernicious fever are credited with causing, respectively, 4, 32, 64 and 9 deaths; 69 are attributed to enteritis, 26 to dysentery, 1 to starvation, 9 to pneumonia and £3 to tuberculosis.” Cuban Envoys Pleased. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—As a result of General Garcia’s call at the White House yesterday the general called a conference of the Cuban commission and the Cuban representative, Mr. Quesada, at 11 o’clock to-day for the general purpose of considering Cuban affairs in the light of the views exchanged during the meeting with the P-eeldent. General Garcia refuses to discuss

the call and his associate® maintain the same reticence, except to declare that it was of an agreeable and satisfactory nature, the idea being conveyed by them that it is likely to pave the way to a satisfactory understanding all around. General Garcia is Indisposed to-day as the result of a severe cold. Supplies for De*titnte.

Tlie Autonomist Cabinet. NEW YORK. Dec. 3.-With the resignation of the autonomist Cabinet, following Captain General Blanco’s retirement, ends a short yet interesting chapter of history, says a Havana correspondent of the Tribune. This Cabinet represented Spain’s tardy and despairing effort to save her vanishing sovereignty in the Antilles. Some of its members will remain in the island and accept the new conditions. Others, It Is reported, w’ill end their lives in Spain, though they are Cuban born. They would not be in full sympathy with the future government, whether it be an independent one or whether annexation to the United States follows. Havana Police to Be Reorganized.

GLASGOW, Dec. 3.—Arrived: Hestla, from Baltimore. KIDNAPED AGAIN. Edith neryl Barnes Probably Taken to Canada by the Masrowan*. ERIE, Pa., Dec. 3.—Mr. and Mrs. Frank A. Magowan have given their case here another sensational turn by getting out of town, taking with them Mrs. Magowan’s child, Edith Beryl Barnes, whose abduction from Cleveland Nov, 14 was the opening act of the present case. The Magowans left sofne time last night, and it was not until late to-day that their absence became known. It is generally believed that the Magowans are in Canada. CLEVELAND, 0., Dec. 3.—Magowan and Mayor Saltsman had a heated altercation at a club last night, Magowan very harshly criticising the county detectives; chief cf police and other officials, and the mayor as hotly resenting these But for the intervention of friends blows would have been exchanged. If the child has been taken to Canada she will be subject to no more litigation, as she cannot be legally brought back into the jurisdiction of the United States courts. Tho child, of course, is charged with no crime and so, cannot be extradited. It is also a fact that, under the laws of Pennsylvania, it is not a crime for a mother to steal her own child, though such act is a crime in Ohio. It is, therefore, quite probable, that to-d. y’s move will end the case so far as the child is concerned. A EUROPEAN SQUADRON. It Will Infinite Five Vessel*, and the Chicago W ill Re Flagship. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.—Secretary Long has decided to assign the Chicago to duty as flagship of the European squadron which is now in process of selection. The squadron probably will include about five ships of different classes. While there will be some armored vessels among them, it is not likely that the battle ship type will be represented, owing to the fact that these vessels are not designed for long cruises, and notwithstanding the achievement of the Oregon in that direction, At is not deemed well to make a steady practice of what was regarded as a questionable experiment. Three ships will be sent to the South Atlantic station, and Secretary Long has under consideration the establishment of a South Pacific station, with a base perhaps at Valparaiso in summer, and at Callao in the winter months. In view of the fact that the officers and enlisted men have had so much actual practice in the art of war during the past season, the navy department has decided to postpone until next autumn the usual annual maneuvers.

BURKE TO BE EXPELLED + CLEVELAND ATTORNEY FOUND CIILTV BY TRIAL. COMMITTEE. Secnrnl Divorce in Irregular Manner anti Conspired with Judge Dellenkuugli to Falsify Record. CLEVELAND, 0., Dec. 3.—The report of the trial committee of the Bar Association in the disbarment proceedings against Senator Vernon H. Burke was presented at a special meeting of the association held this afternoon. The report says, in part: “We find that Judge Dellenbaugh, while acting as judge of said court, introduced and sent to Mr. Burke Mrs. Edith Manning; that Mr. Burke performed service for her in connection with a settlement of a claim asserted by her against a woman for alienating the affections of her husband, and in connection with the preparation and hearing of a divorce case against her husband, and that Mr. Burke received from Mrs. Manning for these services about $3,500, $l,lOO of which was paid by him to Judge Dellenbaugh as follows: One thousand dollars July 8, 1895, and SIOO July 18, 1895. From evidence by Burke to establish the truth of the words so spoken, the committee finds that Mr. Burke is guilty of misconduct in his conduct as an attorney at law and in his relation to the Cleveland Bar Association, in that he wrongly connived and conspired with Judge Dellenbaugh to procure a divorce for Mrs. Manning in an irregular manner, contrary to law and without proper evidence, and in that he wrongfully conspired with Judge Dellenbaugh to falsify a record of the Court of Common Pleas of Cuyahoga county. “We find that on Oct. 28, 1895, four days before the expiration of Judge Dellenbaugh’s term of office, by appointment, said divorce proceeding was secretly heard by him as judge many months before it could have been reached in its regular order, without any motion, affidavits, or order for its advancement, and without proper and necessary evidence being produced at the hearing; that said cause at the time it wa3 heard was not docketed by title on any docket or calendar of said court, and that no entry was thereafter made on any trial docket or calendar of said court, that said cause had been heard or a decree therein rendered; that Judge Dellenbaugh, in April, 189(5, handed to the clerk of the Common Pleas Court of Cuyahoga county a journal entry in the Maiming divorce case whicn he falsely represented to said clerk that he had while judge of said court indorsed for entry; that said journal entry was in fact prepared and indorsed after April 10, 189(5, and after Judge Dellenbaugh had ceased to be a judge of said court, by which representation said clerk was wrongfully induced to believe that said journal entry had been indorsed by Judge Dellenbaugh while a judge of said court, and that it. was proper to enter said decree on the journal of such court, which he thereafter did.” The committee makes the following recommendations: “First—That Vernon H. Burke be expelled from the Cleveland Bar Association. “Second—That the secretary of the association be directed to present a copy of these findings to the committee of investigation, to be treated as a complaint in writing authorizing such proceedings against Hon. Frank E. Dellenbaugh as they may deem proper. “Third—That the secretary of the association be directed to present a copy of this report to the Circuit Court of Cuyahoga county for such action in the premises as the court may deem proper.” Senator Burke refused to discuss the findings of the committee, referring everybody to his attorney. Judge Dellenbaugh said: “The findings of the committee were a complete surprise to me, because they were unwarranted by the evidence in a proceeding to which I was not a party and in which I was practically powerless to defend myself. I invite and demand the fullest careful investigation by a court ,pf competent jurisdiction into all my doings since I have been on the bench. I am confident such an investigation will result in my complete vindication.” It is regarded as doubtful whether anything could be done with Judge Dellenbaugh even if the charges by Burke were sustained. He can only be removed from the bench by impeachment proceedings before the Legislature, and Inasmuch as the acts charged against him were committed, if at all, while he was serving as judge by appointment, and inasmuch as there was an interim between that term and the one for which he was elected and is now serving, the Legislature would have no jurisdiction, it is said.

The Greut Actress Hopes to Paint n Lion Before She Dies. Philadelphia Press. An American girl artist abroad, waiting to a friend at home of a visit to Rosa Bonheur, tells this interesting story of tho great animal painter: “We visited Rosa Bonheur on the day appointed, for that lady had had the kindness to write to a friend of ours saying that she would receive us Thursday afternoon. “We found Miss Bonheur outside her home in what she calls her animal garden. Although not surrounded by wild beasts, as we had expected to find her, she was leading a lion cub by a chain, and was affectionately regarding an immense tiger, which roared in a cage near by. “ ‘Shall you paint another picture, Miss Bonheur?’ I asked. “ 'Yes, I shall paint until I die.’ said she, ‘but I expect to die when I have painted my next picture.’ “ ‘Are you in ill health?’ we asked. “ ‘No,’ said she, laughing, ‘I am strong and well, but I am an old woman; I was seventy in March, you lcnow r .’ “ ‘My great ambition,’ continued she, ‘is to paint a lion be re I die. I have painted many lions, as yuu may know, but none that exactly suited me. I haw succeeded in getting the yellow of a lion's mane, but never the green. If you will notice,’ pointing to the fur of the cub. ‘you will see that there are green shades in his coat, which have never been shown in a painting. I am studying them now. See,’ she said with a wave of the hand toward the frisky animal, ‘as the sun passes his back there is a green which is almost brilliant.’ “We followed the direction of her hand, and sure enough there, in the broad sunlight, was a strange tint of green in the fur which, somehow, fascinated us as we saw it. It was gone in a minute. “ ‘That is the shade I hope to get in my new r painting,’ said Miss Bonheur. ‘lt will be a picture of a lioness and her cubs, with possibly a lion in tho background, I cannot tell just yet, enough when I have found the colors.’ “ ‘Do you paint rapidly?’ asked we. “ ‘Yes,’ said she, 'very rapidly, but it takes me a long time to get the colors. I mix them upon my palette again and again, to try them. Sometimes a very difficult study will cost me weeks of thought, then, of a sudden, I get it like an inspiration, and I fly at the picture and paint it. I can really do a picture very quickly after I have got the colors.’ “After Miss Bonheur had escorted us around her garden, she invited us In the house, but we did not accept the invitation; we knew how impatient she was to get to her work, for this great painter is no idler; and her great fame has been built up by long, hard years of steady work.”

The Man of One Book. Saturday Evening Post. The man of one book can concentrate a terrific fund of tediousness within his anatomical structure. Perhaps his author is Dickens: he has read no other; he delights to tell you that he has read ’’Nicholas Nickleby” through seven times, “Oliver Twist’’ thirteen, “Christmas Chimes’’ twen-ty-three, and so on. Every subject of discussion, from the fall of Adam to the prosEects of anew war of “instruction” with pain, reminds him of something in Dickens. In conversation you involuntarily dodge as he hurls his quotations at you with the warning preface. “As Captain Cuttle used to say,” or “As I often laugh over in Bleak House.” A short acquaintance puts you in a nei’vous, electric, telepathic condition by which you know exactly what he will utter under any circumstances. He unconsciously thinks in precisely the same circle as his author, moving in it like a goldfish in a globe. The greater the author—the larger the circle, yet it is and must be circumscribed. It is like driving for hours on some magnificent avenue; the mind tires of the very evenness of the beauties. He who is bound by one book views the world from a valley; the reader of many books ascends the mountain, where the whole creation seems spread before him. His views are larger, broader, freer, and—they are his own. Thiß larger reading does not necessitate superficial perusal and thought of the work. On the contrary, with it a merely superficial view cannot exist. It ohly reauires trained reading. One need not read “Paradise Lost” through from beginning to end to know Milton. One need not eat every peach on a tree in order to be able to judge of their taste. Read as the bee, hovering over the flower, takes the sweet and leaves the bitter. A Wrong Conclusion. Detroit Free Press. The street car conductor was not In good humor. Someone had passed a bad quarter upon him and that accounted for his starting the car before the three women and a child were fairly aboard. One of the women was mad at being dumped without warning into a seat; the conductor saw that as he started to collect their fare, but he was mad, too. “Madam,” he said, as she tendered her fare, “this child that is with you will have to be paid for as well.” “I haven’t the slightest idea of paying its fare,” snapped the woman. “Then I shall put it off,” answered the conductor, reaching for the bell rope. “You don’t dare,” flashed the woman. Ting! The conductor brought the car to a stop, picked up the child and deposited it upon the street and rang to go ahead. “Madam,” he said grimly, “you will find your child back there on the corner.” “My child?” snapped the woman. "It isn’t mine.” “Whose is it then?” gasped the conductor. “I haven’t the slightest idea,” she answered coolly. Then the child's mother, who had been engaged in an exciting discussion with her friend over the merits of anew gown, awoke to the fact that her child was missing, and then the fireworks that played around the unfortunate conductor’s head reminded him of a Fburth of July display. War Story from Manilu. Washington Special. A naval officer who has Just returned from Manila brings with him a good story. It is customary when men-of-war go out for target practice to stow away the china and glassware of the ship, which are likely to be broken by the concussion that always follows the firing of the big guns. When one of the thirteen-inch rifles on the forward deck goes off it feels as if the vessel had been struck by lightning, and to save breaking fragile articles are packed away. Similar preparations were made for the fight at Manila. ar.d when the battle was over and the Spanish fleet was destroyed it took some days to get things readjusted on the ships and restored to their proper places. Two or three days after the battle Admiral Dewey noticed that an article of table furniture In his cabin was missing, and called his Chinese servant’s attention to the fact. The latter calmly replied: ”Alle light. Me put him 'way so him don’t get bloke while you plactice on the Spaniards. He come back belly soon.” Xo Stoneware “Combine.” ZANESVILLE, 0..
