Under the strain of these provocations, I deeply deplore to say that some among them have so far forgotten themselves as to counsel and commit, in retaliation, - acts of cruelty. The fact that for every guilty act committed by one of our troops a hundred acts of far greater atrocity have been committed by the hostile natives upon our troops, or upon the peaceable and law-abiding natives who are friendly to us, cannot be held to excuse any wrongdoer on our side. Determined and unswerving effort must be made, and is being made, to And out every instance of barbarity on the part of our troops, to punish those guilty of It, and to take, if possible, even stronger measures than have already been taken to minimize or prevent the occurrence of all such Instances In the future.

Washington, May 30.—Memorial Day was generally observed by government officers and the people generally. A11 of the cemeteries In and about the city were visited by comrades of the Grand Army, who decorated the graves of dead soldiers with flags and flowers. Special honor was paid to General Grant by the placing of wieatlis at the foot of his statue in the rotunda of the capitol. At the National ceme tery, Arlington, where nearly 30,(MM) soldiers are buried, the principal ser vices of the day were held. President Roosevelt was the orator, and his address was as follows: New York, May 30.—Memorial Day; Is bright and warm. The event of the uay was the dedication of the costliest soldiers' monument ever erected. The monument stands on the river front, at Riverside drive and Eighty-ninth street. Its cost was $250,000. The dedicatory exercises were under the direction of the Grand Army posts of the city. General Nelson Miles, comman.l-er of the United States army, had the honor of unveiling the monument. Gov. Odell was expected to deliver the nil dress, but was unavoidably absent, speeches were made by General How ard and Mayor I.ow. Two thousand school children sang patriotic selections.From time to time there occur In our country, to the deep and lasting shame of our people, lynchlngs carried on under circumstances of inhuman cruelty and barbarity—a cruelty infinitely worse than any that has ever been committed by our troops in the Philippines; worse to the victims, and far more brutalizing to those guilty of it. The men who fall to condemn these lynchlngs, and yet clamor about what has been done in the Philippines, are indeed guilty Of neglecting the beam in their own eye while taunting their brother about the mote in his. Under stand me. TheBe lynchlngs afford us no excuse for failure to stop cruelty in the Philippines. Every effort is being made, and will be made, to mini mlze the chances of cruelty occurring. Kor the first time since the strike began violence was used yesterday, and the men are becoming so much excited over the situation that more clashes are feared. The police had to be called oil several times to quell small riots. The police details In the vicinity of the stockyards have been nearly -doubled, and the yard* have taken on much of the appearance of an armed camp. Cleveland. O., May 30.—George W.

It is a good custom for our country to have certain solemn holidays iu commemoration of our greatest mel: and of the greatest crises in our his tory. There should be but few Biich holidays. To increase their number Is to cheapen them. Washington and Lin. coin—the man who did most to found the Union, and the man who did most to preserve it—stand head and shoulders above all our other public men and have by common consent won the right to this preeminence. Among the holidays which commemorate the turning ppints In American history. Thanksgiving has a significance peculiarly Its own. On July 4 we celebrate the birth of the nation; on this day, the 30 th of May, we call to mind the deaths of those who died that the na tlon might live, who wagered all that life holds dear for the great prize of death In battle, who poured out their blood like water in order that the mighty national structure raised by the far-seeing patriotism of Washing ton, Franklin, Marshall, Hamilton, and the other great leaders of the Revolution, great framers of the Constitution, should not crumble into meaningless ruins. There to 28,000 Men Prices RigHt. Washington, May :i0.—It is said at the war department that the departure of the Hancock and Sherman from Manila .with the Ninth and Nineteenth regiments of infantry reduces the army Jill the Philippines to less than 28,000 men and that within the next few months the strength of the effective military force In the archipelago will be till further reduced to less than 125,000 by the withdrawal of the Thirteenth, Sixteenth, Twenty-fonrtli and Twenty-lifth regiments of Infantry and purt of the Third regiment of cavalry under orders to return to the United States. "There Is absolutely nothing I can say." said he. "Too much lias been said in regard to the negotiations for a settlement of the strike already. AMERICANS VISIT THE POPE. People's Store, LOOK. READ AND BUY. But keep In mind that these cruelties in the Philippines have been wholly exceptional, and have been shamelessly exaggerated. We deeply and bit terly regret that any such cruelties should have been committed, no matter how rarely, 110 matter under what provocation, by American troops. But tliey afford far less justification for a general condemnation of our army than these lynchlngs afford for the condemnation of the communities in which they have taken place. In each case it Is well to condemn the deed, and It is well also to refrain from Including both guilty and innocent in the same sweeping condemnation.

"1 do not cure to discuss the matter at all." STORM VICTIMS DIE, BRENNAN & ROBERTS In every community there are people who commit acts of well-nigh Inconceivable horror and baseness. If we fix our eyes only upon these individuals and upon their acts, and if we forget the far more numerous citizens of upright and honest life and blind ourselves to the countless deeds of wisdom and justice aud philanthropy. it Is easy enough to condemn the community. There is not a city In this land which we could not thus condemn If we fixed our eyes purely upon its police record and refused to look at what it had accomplished for decency and justice and charity. Yet this is exactly the attitude which has been taken by too many men with reference to our army In the Philippines; and it is an attitude both absurd and [cruelly unjust.

Chicago, May ISO— All differences between the Chicago Union Traction company and Its employees have been settled by the company granting the demands of the men. An agreement was entered Into with the Amalgamated Association of Street Car lCiuployees whereby the company agrees to recognize the union, the rights of the men to organize, to reinstate nil men discharged for joining the union and to settle nil future differences by arbitration. This practically does away with the probability of a strike among the traction men. The outcome of the conference is a victory for the Amalgamated association, the company having conceded all its demands. .. .10 For 25c you can lmy one can of Evans Bros: Moca and Java (Joll'ee.

A member of the Civic federation said to the Tribune: holders of Coal Roada, ET CyETERA The rules of warfare which have been promulgated by the War Department and accepted as the basis of eonduct by our troops in the field, are the rules laid down by Abraham Lincoln when you. my hearers, were fighting for the Union. These rules provide, of course, for the just severity necessary in war. The most destructive of all lorras of cruelty would be to show weakness where sternness is demanded by iron need. But all cruelty is forbidden, and harshness beyond what is called for by need. Our enemies in the Philippines have not merely vlo lated every rule of "war. but have made these violations their only method" of carrying on the war. We would have been Justified by Abraham Lincoln's rules of war in infinitely greater severity than has been shown. The fact really Is that our warfare In the Phil ipplues lias been carried on with sin gular humanity. For every net of eru THE WEATHER. San Francisco, May 30.—Mrs. Nettle O.

EVANS BROS., During our four generations of national life we have had to do many taskB. and some of them of far-reaching Importance; but the only really vital task was the one you did, the task of saving the Union. There were other crises In which to have gone wrong would have meant disaster; but this was the one crisis in which to have gone wrong would have meant not merely disaster, but annihilation. For failure at any other point atonement could have been made; but had you failed In the Iran days the loss would have been Irreparable, the defeat Irretrievable.
