There is danger that Mr. Wanamak- er’s inability to love his enemies may sooner or later destroy his usefulness as a‘Sunday-school teacher. W’hile wireless telegraphy may util- ize the air it’s only the wonderful character of the invention that’s calen- 1ated to take away our breath.

C., has forbidden residents of a fashionable locality there to dry their week’s washing in their front yards. This Jel’fersonian simplicity fad is beginning to be over- done. If the Filipinos only would stand still long enough. there would be no trouble in whipping them. The coun- try about Manila and up to. and beyond the Rio Grande seems to be now effec- tually cleared of armed insurgents, but it is questionable how much farther it will be possible or desirable to con- tinue the tedious pursuit. Possibly the punishment already inflicted may suffice for the destruction of Aguinal- do’s influence, which is evidently the main Obstacle now to the restoration ‘of peace. Even if General Otis can only establish a line of outposts that will keep the Philippine army from re- turning to the neighborhood of Manila, he may have time to get a civil govern- mentin working order and gradually to bring the natives back to peace- ful habits. operations are being pushed with a Meantime the military vigor that. under the difficult con- ditions, is truly extraordinary. Legislative bribery is an Offense that has been practiced doubtless a long time and in many States. Like some other crimes it has not proved as dan- gerous for those who practice it as it ought to'have done, but there has been I an awakening of theauthorities at last and there are likely to be bribery trials in the courts of three States at least. The bribery charges in California, Delaware and Pennsylvania have arisen in connection with deadlocks over the election of United States Senators. An indictment has been found against one Delaware representative for offering one Of his colleagues a bribe of $5,000 to note for Addicks. The Dauphi’p county grand jury will soon be asked to find in- dictments against several Pennsylvania lobbyists for attempted bribery in con- nection with the late Senatorial dead- lock at Harrisburg, and bribery charges are pending in the California courts arising from a similar'cause. These prosecutions brought in these States will test the practical. value of existing laws against bribery, victions follow in any cases bribery will be regarded as a dangerous practice in the future. If, on the contrary, the prosecutions for anyv‘re'ason prove fail- ures, Legislative bribery will be prac- ticed more openly and shamelessly zhancver. in the future. ———————<o.o>——w——— I rN‘dvertise in THEGAZETTE. If con- 1 ABUSE Elli GOMEZ. N. Called a. Traitor Because of His American Affiliations. OLD GlillEIlAL IlllI‘ElIDS HIS POSITION Favors 3 Period of Axnericnn Con- trol as the Best Preparation For Cuban Independence, but Places No Limit to That Period. HAVANA, April 29.—The attitude of General Maximo Gomez toward the “in— tervening power,” as he calls the Unit— ed States, causes .a lively controversy ‘ among politicians here and even among his friends. La Discusion and El Re- concentrado treat him as an ally of the United States and refer tophim as a. “traitor to the cause of Cuban inde- pendence.” La Lucha and La Patria view him as -a consistent leader of the Cuban people. From time to time copies of his private correspondence embodying allusions to public business are supplied to the press and afford ma- terial for speculation and argument re- garding his real position and purpose. For instance, one of the papers pub- lishes extracts from a letter Gomez re— cently wrote to Rodolfo Menendez of Mer’ida, Yucatan, in the course Of which he says: "‘My energy, my strength and all my prestige I am giving here in my devo- tion to the cause of independence for this heroic country, and I devote myself especially to the labor in concert with the provisional government which at~ tends and serves the country.” A member of his household has given the following explanation of the posi- tion of Gomez: ' “Of course General Gomez continues to favor, as he always has favored, ulti‘~ mate independence, but he considers a period of American icontrol as a logical preparation for that independence. Therefore he wishes to co—operate with the Americans without reservation in disbanding the troops and in quieting and reconstructing the country. He can- not tell how long this period should be, but he would probably have issued a statement declaring his formal support of the American provisional control if the recent severe attacks upon his views had not been made.” The report that General Gomez is drawing up a proposal for the organiza— tion of Cuban militia is not verified by him. ’ - McKinley In Ne‘v York. NEW YORK, April 29.—President McKinley arrived in this city from Philadelphia last night and is now at the Hotel Manhattan. His visit is en- tirely unofficial, and he does not expect to appear publicly while here. It is probable that he will remain over Sun— day. The president’s party, including Mrs. McKinley, Secretary Gage, Secre- tary and Mrs. Long, Dr. P. M. Rixey, Captain S. S. Saxton, George B. Cortel- you, acting secretary to the president, and Rudolph Foster, stenographer, left Philadelphia at 2:30 o’clock yesterday afternoon. Grant traveled with them. Fatal Bandit Hunt. SANTIAGO, Cuba, April 29.—In a fight at Palma Soriano, northwest of Santiago, between thegendannery and a band of outlaws one bandit was killed and one captured. The chief of the gendurmery reports that the captured outlaw was afterward killed while he was trying to make his escape, but it is suspected here that this explanation really covers an intentional killing. Great enthusiasm has been caused by the report that the projected railway from Santiago to Havana through the center of the island will soon be built. _..__..___._——L. Chamber of Commerce In Porto Rico. SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, April 29.— Mr. Edwin Arnold, who has arrived here by the steamer Philadelphia, an— nounces the immediate establishment here of the American Colonial bank, which has been organized by Muller, Schall & Co. of New York in conjunc— tion with Porto Ricans. General Guy V. Henry has issued a call for a commer- cial convention to meet here on May 10 to organize a chamber of commerce and for the promotion of harmony and com- merce between Americans, Porto Ricans and Spaniards. Mrs. George Acquitted. CANTON, 0., April 29.——Mrs. Annie E. George wasyesterday acquitted of the murder of George D. Saxton, broth— er of Mrs. McKinley. The jury, which had retired at noon Thursday, returned to the courtroom at 10:45 o’clock yester- day morning and rendered a verdict of not guilty of the charge of murder in the first degree, the charge upon which Mrs. George was tried. The verdict was received with demonstrations of ap- plause by the crowd which had gather— ed and filled the courtroom. Sewer Pipe Trust Sure. . AKRON, 0., April 29.—'1‘he big sewer pipe combination which has been on the verge of formation for the past three months is now announced as a certain- ty. The capitalization will be $25,000,000, $20,000,000 of which will be issued, half in preferred and half in common stock. The offices of the trust will be located either in Pittsburg or Cleveland, and the president will probably be 0. C. Bar- ber, who is president of‘ the Diamond Match company. Promotion For anston. WASHINGTON, April 29.—It was gaid at the war department that Colonel Frederick Funston of .the Twentieth Kansas volunteers would surely be ap- 'pointed a. brigadier general of volun- teers. A formal recommendation that he be promoted must first be obtained from Major General Otis, who will be asked to submit it if he does not do so of his own volition. Anxious to Hear Maude Adams. NEW YORK, April 29.—Maude Adams opens up at the Empire theater, this city, in “Romeo and Juliet” for two weeks beginning May 8. Yesterday was the first day of the sale of seats, and up to 4 o’clock there had been taken in over $11,000 at the box office. This is said to be the largest amount ever taken in New York city for advance sales. Cunaltlenln tho Philippinel. .
