Romarica Ageaoili, a government student at Cornell University from Laoag, Philippine Islands, received a letter from the United States War Department the othre morning threatening to have him removed from the university on account «f his reported public utterances against I, the American rule in the Philippines. The ward them a copy of his speech and a full explanation: The speech referred to stated that “the Filipino colony at the Cornell summer school is considerably a cite ted over what sonny members of tbo colony describe as unrest amonc the people of the Philippines, not unlike the dissatisfaction that preceded the outbreak «f hostilities against Spain, they say. v "According to* these natives, of the Oriental islands, their countrymen are quite miserable tinder the protection of the Stars and Stripes, look back longingly to the days of Spanish rate, and would welcome a Japanese invasion Jjiat might free them from America.” The meeting at ~;ißiidl ttesr Uttersncea-were reported to have been made was held last Thursday night in Barnes' Hall, the largest auditorium on the Cornell campus. Several hundred students, members of the faculty, and a number of Japanese students were present.

POSTOFFiCE CUTS PAY.

Petcraiueat Orders Reduction In . L Charge for Haaltng Mails A general order has betpb issued by tha Postoffice Department which- will result in reducing the compensation enjoyed fey the railroads for carrying the mails by at lenst annnn 1 ly.—la connection with the order it is hinted that there may be a scandal if all the facts which madft the' issuance of the order a necessity become known. The order in question affects several hundred mail routes in the country and is to the effect that on these routes the mail can be carried in smaller cars than the railroads ore using. It is therefore ordered .that a reduction either be made in the size of the cars the railroads choose to continue their use they will get paid for the size of cars actually needed. On the other hand, the railroads insist that' 1 it is the province of the Postoffice Department tp designate the cars which shall be used Ob ’the mail routes apd that the roads are now using such cars as were actually ordered by the department. Department officials admit that this is true, but insist that niore space is being paid for by the department than is actu-J ntty-needed in tbe -tran«}>ortatkm--<»f.-tba mails, but it is not stated whether this condition is -the result of poor judgment or otherwise. The new order is the result of the work of 125 private detectives which the Postoffiee Department placed on the work about six months ago. Their reports show that in hundreds of cases the government was paying for more space than is necessary and the l’ostmaster General therefore ordered a reduction. Besides the tegular compensation based upon tonnage which the raitroads receive for transporting the mails they also receive car mileage for ears over thirty feet in length. - . The Postoffice Department has decided to begin weighing the mail em ail routes in the country early iu 'October with a view of furnishing Congress with data asked for. In order to do so the government will have to provide thousands of additional scales.

Report on City Ownership.

The investigation of public ownership of public utilities in Europe and this country by the National Civic Federation’s commission has resulted in two reports, one by Prof. John R. Commons of Wisconsin proposition and the other by J. W. Sulli--van--of the Clothing-Tradek Bulletin disapproving. Prof. Commons says they found the privately owned utilities in England dividing surplus for civic betterments because of the prevailing tendency .toward public ownership and its example in cities where it had been adopted. Many havp shrewdly arranged copartnership plans and have recognized the labor unions. He is convinced that the recognition of the unions is the safeguard against political corruption in public ownership and that private ownership offers no escape from politics. Editor Sullivan says that in all but the most poorly paid forms of labor public ownership has not raised or improved conditions of work. He contends that in England no street car business has ever been a private enterprise, in the sense that the word is used in this country, thus making comparison with American conditions unTaking Syracuse, Allegheny and Wheeling as the best samples of American municipalization offered, they found conclusive evidence of political rottenness in each case. He regards it as “a project to restrict men in their activities by methods foreign to the American genius.”

Rockefeller Raps University.

The faculty and students of the University of Chicago have been much stirred up by the reported criticism made by John D. Rockefeller while he was in Chicago to attend court as a witness. In reply to a question as to what he thought of the university’s work, the oil kiug is reported as saying: “The only regret I have concerning the university is that there are not as many men as successful as I hoped there would he after their schooling there. But I am advised by some of my friends that the future may show better results than the present. If the future will show that it was a wise undertaking, 1 shall be satisfied." In reply to these remarks, the members of the faculty are disposed to question the interpretation which Mr. Rockefeller -makes of the word success. If he means the ability to make money, they admit that not so many of the graduates have been successful as might (>e desired. But . they—maintain--that xu aliing -iuo!u\v . doesnot necessarily mean success. The impression prevails among the student body that the founder and benefactor of the great institution has been displeased by numerous radical doctrines preached by certain members of the faculty, it being recalled that frequently monopolies like the Standard Oil Company have been assailed with impunity in the class rooms.

ODDS & ENDS OF SPORT

It has been many a year since the colleges in general lost so many of their athletic stars at one graduation. Yale, Harvard, Pennsylvania and Michigan all lose heavily, and the other colleges also suffer. The defeat of Peter Pan, the recognized 3-year-old champion of the year, and Philander by Frank GUI in the Coney Island Jockey Club stakes at Sheepshead Bay, was a great surprise to the public, which had backed both horses heavily, but neither finished in the money. Miss Evelyn Sears of Boston won the tepnls tournament at Philadelphia for the national championship. "Colin is' the best 2-year-old that has been to the races in this country in the last fifteen years, barring S.vsonby,” said James It. Keene after the Commando horse won the Great Trial stake* at Sheepshead. Princeton may send a crew to Poughkeepsie within two years' time. The Tigers are eager to be represented in the great annual regatta, ns rowing ia the only branch of athletics in which they do not compete.

CLASH OF AUTHORITY

FEDERAL COURT AND STATE GOVERNMENT IN CONFLICT. North Carolina Jodge Knocli« Out la Part State’* New Rate L*w— Governor Glenn Piqued Over Decision and Order* Appeal. ; ' . I .. The penalty clause of the ngw North Carolina rate bill has been declared unconstitutional and void by United States Judge Pritchard in Asheville. James H. Wood, district passenger agent of the Southern, and C. Wilson, the ticket agent of the same road, who were recently sentenced to thirty days on the chain gang for violation of the law, were discharged on habeas corpus proceedings. -r: ' — r - When defendant agents of the company were fined a few days ago by PoI lice Justice Reynolds and sentenced to ! Jail a writ of habeas corpus was Issued | by Judge Pritchard, but the agents j were again arrested by the State au- ' thorities and sentenced by Justice Reynolds to thirty days on the chain gang, j Contempt proceedings were then i. brought for resistance of the Federal Court

Pine* Would Be Million*. In his decision Judge Pritchard said that the penalties inflicted by the statute would close the doors to a Judicial hearing and would amount to $2,500,000 a day if the penalty was enforced on the sale of each ticket, which Is eight times more than the amount involved In the original suit Also that it would do violence to the comity which exists between the State and Federal courts. Continuing, Judge Pritchard said : “The equal protection of the law Is guaranteed to every citizen of the United States and I shall employ all means within the power of the court to secure to all persons, who may invoke Jurisdiction of this court, such rights to the fullest extent of the law, "This court is confronted with open and avowed opposition by the powers of the State. The penalties prescribed by the State statute for charging more than the statutory rates are so enormous that If permitted tob(T enforced they would practically bankrupt the railroads in an exceedingly brief time. Would Paralyse Roads. “If the criminal prosecutions against the agents, conductors and employes are permitted to continue, the managers of the railroads cannot successfully operate their trains, carrying the mails or continue their usefulness in interstate commerce. “Thfe State constitution as well as the statutory law afford ample protection to every person deprived of Jfris liberty without due process of law." It Is remarkable that anyone representing the State should oppose the granting of the writ of habeas Corpus.” After Judge Pritchard had signed the judgment Judge J. EL Merrimon, special counsel for the State, gave notice of appeal and waived bonds, but under the law the court fixed a bond of S2OO each for Wood and Wilson. Governor Glenn wired the State’s Attorney to appeal at once to the Supreme Court of the United States from the decision of Judge Pritchard. lie states that even If Section 4, the criminal penalty section, is stricken out the law is not affected, and the Southern Railway can be indicted under the common law. Advices received are to the effect that the Virginia authorities, in which State a 2%-cent fare law has been passed, will adopt precisely the same course as those in North Carolina. Judge Pritchard presides In the circuit which embraces Virginia.

States’ Rights Question Raised. The Federal authorities In Washington are Intensely interested In the situation. It is believed that Judge Pritchard's decision will precipitate a crisis that may be serious in 4ts eonsequences. Federal officials are of the opinion that it will again bring to the front as a political Issue the old question of State rights, and while no one here apprehends any such discussion of the subject as preceded the civil war period, the difficulty In North Carolina is not underestimated. Peter G. Pritchard has been prominent in the Republican politics of North Carolina for many years. He was United States Senator from the State for six years, and on the expiration of his term was appointed a Federal district judge by President Roosevelt. Later he was promoted to the Circuit Court. While he has held aloof from politics since he has been on the bench, Judge Pritchard has kept in touch with political affairs, State and national. He is a personal friend of President Roosevelt.

Indicted on 1,524 Counts.

Dispatches from Memphis state that the federal grand jury for the West Tennessee district has handed up an indictment containing 1,524 counts, each count a separate indictment in itself, all aimed at the Stapdard Oil Company.

Japanese Merchants Appeal.

Seven chambers of commerce, in session at Tokio, sent an address to the principal chambers of commerce in America and also to President Roosevelt expressing the fear that if such “unfortunate incidents" as the California attacks upon Japanese residents are not speedily stopped the ill feeling which the Japanese now harbor against a section of the United States may endanger the development of commercial relations and cause incalculable loss to both countries.

parentage and blood when she married the millionaire In 1874. They declare that the ex-Congresstnan’s charges are false, and that Mrs. Warner and her two daughters will sue him for libel. Mr. Warner’s allegations against his stepmother and ihalf-sisters, Mrs. Arabella Waraer Bell and Mrs. Minnie Warner Mettler, were made under oath in the contest against his father’s will brought by Mrs. Warner. Mrs. Warner began the fight to secure her widow’s share of the $1,650,000 estate of the banker, who died in 1903, refusing to abide by the terms of an antenuptial contract which gave her an annuity of SSOO and SIO,OOO. She declared that her husband lhad induced her to sign this agreement by fraud and by grossly misrepresenting the amount of his property. Hence she contends that the agreement is void. The widow’s claim is considered -*! strong that she is said to have been offered $300,000 by Vespasian Warner, executor of the will, and bis sister, Flora Warner McDermott. She refused the offer, It is declared, and the charges followed in an amendment to the executor’s answer to the widow’s petition. This amendment argues that, since Mrs. Robinson deceived her husband, the amounts provided for her in the Ante-nuptial contract are all she should have. Mr. Warner affirms that Isabella Warner is the daughter of Stephen Robinson,;an Ohio negrejThe Commissionerof Pensions claims he has Searched the country for affidavits bearing out his claim. Most of them were secured in Norwalk, Ohio, former home of Stephen Robinson. The Warner will case has been the talk of the countryside for months, for the family founded by John Warner, farmer and former head of John Warner & Co., bankers, of Clinton, 111., Is the most prominent in a social and business way in the county. Vespasian Warner was a member of Congress for twenty years. „ Fur thirty years- Mfs. Isabella Warner has been a leader of the De Witt County, Illinois, society. Of fine features and gray hair, cultured and attractive In dress and manners, no one ever has breathed a whisper of suspicion against her name or blood.

SAY MOST STRIKES WIN.

Statistics Also Show Unions Succeed In Industrial Battles. More strikes succeed than fail and the most successful strikes are those conducted by organized labor. Statistics tabulated by the Bureau of Labor, covering the last twenty-five years, show this to be true. In all strikes during the last quarter of a century the employes were entirely successful in 48 per cent of the cases and partly successful in 15 per cent, but in 37 per cent they failed. Organized labor succeeded in 49 per cent of the strikes called and failed in 35 per cent, while unorganized labor was successful in 34 per cent and failed in 5G per cent. Most strikes, 41 per cent of all, have been caused by a demand for increase of wages. Recognition of unions and union rules bava caused" 23 per cent and sympathetic strikes 3 per cent. has been effective in bringing about a settlement of labor disputes in only 2 per cent of all strikes and 2 per cent of all lockouts, while joint agreements have ended 0 per cent of the strikes and 12 per cent of the lockouts. In the last twenty-five years there have been 33,303 strikes and lockouts, affecting 7,444,279 employes.

AMERICAN ROADS MOST DEADLY.

United States Lead* In Number of Person* Killed on Ralls. Herr Guillery, an official of the archive bureau of the Prussian railway administration, has prepared a comparative table of. statistics of those killed and injured by railways in various countries. He finda, that the railroads in tho United States are the most deadly. The United States has more mileage than all Europe, but even taking that into consideration, ths United States holds pre-eminencs in proportional figures. i. Out of every 10,000 employes the relative figures of killed are: United States, 20.1; England, 12.3; Switzerland, 8.2; Russia, 7.8; British India, 0.7; Belgium, 44. In the matter of travelers injured, France holds the lowest record in the world. The United States shows proportionately forty times as many injured as Russia; twenty-two times as many as Italy; as England, twenty; Belgium, eight; Bwintserland, four; Germany, two.

HARWOOD IS FREED.

* MINER’S SECRETARY ACQUITTED BY IDAHO JURY. Jury t'onxidcr.'i—that Kvldeiioc Produced Did Not Connect Accused ' t ■ Man with Steunenberg Murder— I’ettiboue Case Reset for Trial. v, ~ William lb Ilaywood is free iu Boise, Idaho. After eighteen months’ imprisonment, closing with eleveu nerve racking weeks of legal inquisition, he walked out Sunday, aloue and elated, into the bright sunlight of, a still and drowsy Sabbath morning, acquitted of the charge of murdering Frank Steunenberg. His vindication came from the lips of twelve Idaho farmers, plain, blunt, uncultured men, representatives of the sturdy stock that is the backbone of this country, who simply were not convinced that the State had connected TTaywood, “by liis own acts and declarations,” to use the language of The court, with the murder of Frank Steunenberg—that's all. That was the verdict, and the how, and the why, and the wherefore of it. r The masterly logic of Senator Borah, the painstaking analysis of Prosecutor liawley, and the story of Harry Or : chard crumbled and withered away in the unemotional atmosphere of the room" where Tfie jurors for twenty-one hours minutely dissected, the evidence as they saw it. And their verdict was “Not guilty.” Judge’* Charite a Factor. The probability of a verdict of acquittal had been freely predicted since Judge Fremont Wood read bis charge, which was regarded as strongly favoring the defense iu its interpretation of the laws of conspiracy, circumstantial evidence, and the corroboration of an accomplice who confesses. A canvass of the jury immediately after they were discharged showed the accuracy of the prediction. Ten of the jurors declared that in their iru dividual opinion the instructions practieally forbade a verdict of guilty. The other two would not admit this view of the judge’s charge, but declared that they had found it impossible to believe 'that any legal connection of Haywood with the Steunenberg murder had been made. It was also freely predicted that in the event of Haywood's acquittal the State would abandon the prosecution of his associates, Charles H. Moyer, the president of the federation, and George A. Petti bone of Denver. Statements from counsel aud from Gov. Gooding, however, dispel this view of the situation. , - • " ' GovTfGpodißg declared with emphasis that the cases dgainst Moyer and Petti bone would be prosecuted as vigorously as had been that against Haywood. Senator Borah added to this that Pettibone would be put on trial early in October.

Conviction Slade Impossible. While counsel for the prosecution refused to discuss what factors they considered bore most strongly upon the jury’s decision to acquit Haywood, the consensus of opinion among lawyers who were not connected with the case is that the instructions made a conviction Impossible. There were sixty-five paragraphs in the charge, of which thirty-one dealt with the subject of reasonable doubt. There is no criticism of the statement of the law In any of the sections of the charge with perhaps one exception, but it seems to be the general opinion, and the talks with jurors agree with It, that the reiteration of those instructions which might be favorable to the defense conveyed the imm-ession to the jury that the court believed the verdict should be acquittel. This Is of a piece with the attitudo of the authorities and the prosecution throughout the trial. The desire to be absolutely fair to the defendant has amounted at times almost to an obsession. If there has been an leaning to one side or to the other It has been to that of the defense, and that attitudo Is maintained even yet. There is almost no criticism of the result amoug the friends of the,prosecution in Boise.

Oil Trust Denies Conspiracy.

The Standard Oil'Company has entered a general denial to the charges of conspiracy, stifling competition and accepting rebates preferred by the Federal Department of Justice in St. Louis last November. The contention is made that operations prior to 1899, when the parent company of New Jersey was formed, should not be made the subject of examination. Specific denial is made, however, that the company in 1876 had special rates from the Erie and New York Central, and that a monopoly of pipe lines from Western Pennsylvania enabled it to fix rates for transportation on the railroad.

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL

CHICAGO. Despite the hot weather business activity is undiminished and production in the heavy industries is without abatement. A satisfactory demand coutinues in leading retail fines, removing anxiety as to the stocks to be carried over. Demand all through July was exceptionally 1 good and the usual clearance sales have made the preparation of impending inventories easier. Country merchants entertain confidence as to the outook, their opinions being supported by demands which show healthy expansion among the prosperous fanning communities. Increasing accessions appear in the numbers of visiting buyers and their operations in staples compare favorably with a year ago. Notwithstanding the increased failures iu this district, mercantile collections in the western states leave little room for complaint and credits generally maintain a satisfactory position. Crop conditions creat a favorable impression. Bank clearings, $230,259,787, exceed those Of corresponding week in 1906 by 12.4 per cent. Failures reported in Chicago district number 29, against 21 last week and 24 a year ago.—Dun’s Review of Trade.

NEW YORK. ’ High temperatures have stimulatedcrop development as a whole, helped retail trade in light summer wear goods and improved reorder business for thd latter with jobbers, all these influences favoring some growth of the feeling that early poor starts in crops and trade have been largely made up for. There is about the usual midsummer quiet in future trade lines, but fall samples are prepared, low rate excursions begin next month, shipments of fall goods are increasing and collections have improved at various markets. Industry exhibits a lull in some lines, notably iron and steel in its cruder forms, though-the immediate effect of the strike of iron ore miners in Minnesota has been to stimulate, temporarily at least, the demand for pig iron at all markets. Business failures in the United States - for the week ending July 25 number 155, against 177 last week, 171 in the lik.e week of 1906, 197 in 1905, 174 in 1904 and 190 in 1903. Canadian failures for the week number 27, as against 26 last week and 24 in this week a year ago. Wheat, including flour, exports from the United States and Canada for the week ending July 25 aggregated 2,376,543 bushels, against 2,210,770 last week, 1,708,705 this week last year and 6,974,526 in 1901. For the first four weeks of the fiscal year'tffe exports are 9,950,931 bushels, against 6,942,290 in 1906-07 and 21,000,194 in 1901-02. Corn exports for the week are 1,665,044 bushels, against 2,066,967 last week and 539,073 in 1906. For the fiscal year to date the exports are 6,554,490 bushels, against 2,662,553 in 1906-07.—Brad-street’s Commercial Report.
