der jlato 'of February 7 , describing the be
ginning of the fighting belwcen the Amer
icans and Filipinos , which he says was due
to an attempt on the part of ttio latter to
rush pn Amcilcan post.
"The Hrltish officers , " bo continues ,
"wero not allowed to land until the day
following the battle and were even then
prohibited from going to the front , but on
yesterday's battlefield I saw Filipino pris
oners burying heaps of their dead
"It cannot for n moment bo doubted that
the Americans fought with gallantry ami
pluck , whllo the rebels , who were armed
with Mausers and Remingtons , maintained
ft stubborn di'fonsc. Their dead bodies tes
tify to tills. U Is also clear that the Filipinos
pines were astounded and demoralized by
the American tactics and the vigorous pur
suit kept up nil day , instead of following
the Spanish custom of midday rests "

Lord Charles llcrcsford and Lord Chief

power In their own way , but Choato nt
once established his claim to bo considered
a finished orator , commanding a vein ot
fine humor , together with charming grace
fulness nnd tact. Ho got a warm recep
tion when ho rose. His speech was en
thusiastically applauded , especially those
passages in which ho dwelt on the kinship ot
tbo two races , and at the close ho received
an Cation altogether exceptional on sucl.
an occasion. He was highly complimented
on all hands nnd tlio comments ot the au

LONDON , March 15 Joseph H. Choatc ,
the United States ambassador to the court
of St. Jaints. made his Ilret public nppenr-
anco In England at the banquet ot the As
sociated Chambers of Commerce of the
United Kingdom , which was held at the
Mctiopolo hotel this evening.
There were about 250 persons Invited to
meet tbo ambassador , Including the lord
chief Justice of England , Baron Russell of
Klllowcn , Henry Stafford Northcote , presi
dent of the association ; the prime minister ,
the marquis of Salisbury , the carl of Jersey ,
the earl of Dartmouth , Lord Rear Admiral
Charles Beresford , James R. Carter , second
secretary of the United States embassy.and
many members of Parliament ,
Mr. Choate , upon arriving , was heartily
welcomed by the chairman. Ho sat In the
place on honor on the right of the chair
man.
man.Rear
Rear Admiral Lord Charles Beresford ,
who replied to the toast to the navy , de
clined to bo drawn Into a discussion of the
Chinese situation.
He concluded his speech by saying : "The
company Is waiting to hear a distinguished
guest , the new ambassador ot the United
States , whom every man of the fore and aft
In this country is delighted to see , but I
cannot bo seated "without saying that I took
every opportunity to see the fleet of
America in both the Pacific and Atlantic. I
saw a very excellent fleet , not only In the
way the ships are 'built ' , but In respect of
general organization and preparedness.
"f jiefdnot - otiol Its cdcvrsaivl szaS.
They are of the same blood as ourselves and
have proved what they could do when called
upon. I hope the time will very shortly
come when there will be such an under
standing between the two countries that If
anything occurs disagreeable to us or af
fecting our honor and safety those two fleets
will bo togethei "
TotiNt to the ( Client.
Vice Picsldent Harper then submitted the
toast of "Our Guchts , " coupled with the
names of Mr Choate and Baron Russell of
Klllowen. He expressed his keen pleasure
at the advent of Mr. Choate at a time "when
there is every disposition to tighten the
bonds of the Anglo-Saxon race , whoso only
objects are peace , prosperity , freedom of
trade and pi ogress "
The toast was received with loud cheers ,
the company standing and shouting the
name of Mr Choate , who was thrice
cheered
Mr Choatc , on rising to respond , received
an ovation Tlio United States ambassador
'began ' by Jokingly protesting that ho was
overwhelmed with embarrassment at being
called upon to respond In priority to the j
lord chief Justice. He felt that when the
British lion was about to roar , even the
American eagle should hold his peace. Ho
was delighted , ho said
, to iccelvo and ncI -
I cept the invitation to the banquet , although
ho was not at liberty
, to discuss fliltlbh com-
] I merce. His general distinctions tram his
government were not to ilfecuss politics , or
only nt extraordlnaiy festal occasions
( laughter ) .
After a few 'words ' on the subject of com-
raerce. which he
characterized as "truly the
mainstay of the British empire , " ho con
j cluded ns follows.
I "I hnvo felt , however , that I might prop-
i erly avail myself of this Ilist public occa-
, bion to express appreciation of my country
men for the foibe-arance , good will nnd
friendship manifested to them so freely by
! ! the Brltlbh people. It Is line , gentlemen ,
that peace between the United States and
Great Britain Is the first interest not only
of these two nations , > hut of the whole
world. "
I'linlM the "Open Door" Open ,
In expressing his gratitude for the cordial
Breetings ho had received from all sorts and
conditions of men since his arrival in Eng
land , Mr Choate said :
"Ihcrywbero I have been treated as a
friend and as the reprctentntlvo of your
friends nnd brothers. In fact , I have actu
ally dlsco\ered the ' '
'open door' to such an
extent us would satisfy oven the yearnings
of the i ear admiral who has made the circle
of the globe In search of It. I think I may
say as a testimony of the good feeling
sought to bo encouraged on our side of the
water that the president gave the best Il
lustration of It when he said In my letter of
i credence that ho
relied with confidence upon
my constant endeavor during my stay in
Great Britain to promote the Interest and
prosperity of both nations. " ( Cheers nnd
cries of "Bravo " )
After another reference to the "open
door" nnd the "enlarged sphere of Influ
ence which n cordial brotherhood has opened
up , " the ambassador continued-
"I bcs that you -will not mistake my
meaning. I do not believe that although
friends we shall ever cease to be rivals In
the future as In the past , wo on our aide
and you on yours , will atlll press every ad
vantage ahat can fairly bo taken , but It
shall be generous and' loyal rivalry nnd all
questions , disputes and controversies arising
shall bo settled by peaceful means , by ne 'I
gotiations , by arbitration , by any and every 'j
pc&jlblo means except war"
After pointing out that this was no new
sentiment , Mr Choate remarked.
"While the last conflict between Great
Britain and America failed to settle any of
the questions upon _ which either took up
arms , showing that between brethren war
Is the worst possible means it settling any
controversy yet In the eight-four years
that have since clap&ed tremendous qucs-
( Ions , heated words , threatening demonstra-
11 tlons which would Inevitably have brought
I any other two nations Into open and ( re-
quent conflict have occurred-on either side
and have nil been arranged nnd adjusted
without resort to arms. "
A eitertieliin Control er .
Referring to the Venezuelan Imbroglio ,
ho observed
"Vou know that on our side of the water
we love occasionally to twist .jtho lion's tall
for thn more sport of hearing him roar.
( Liughtcr. ) Well , that time 'ho disap
pointed us. Ho would not roar at all. Ho
fat silent as the sphinx , nntl by dint of
mutual forbearance our sober second
thought aiding your eobor first ; thought wo
avoided everything but a avere war of
words. " f
Alluding to the satisfactory dispelling of
the cloud between Russia anil JCnglnml ever
the Nlu-Ohwans nllway extension loan by
means of peaceful diplomacy , , Mr Cliontc
said : .jf
"That Is the kind ot diplomacy which I
just entering upon n illplomhtlc career
desire very much to understand , for 1 nm
fresh enough In experience to believe thu
It theao two countries , laboring together
for : peace , unite their volcte In demanding
H i , it is almost euro In every case. ( Cheers )
"I would llko to quote , my president
again , for the last words 1 heard him say
wore that the United Stated government
was today on better terms with every na
tion on the face of the citth than It had
over been. ( Chceis. ) NW , I have llttlo
more to say ot my own country. ( Cries of

After paying eloqirt-iit tributes to the late

Mr. Choato concluded as follows :

WASHINGTON , March 15 ( Special Tele
gram l ) The Post this morning prints the
following interesting story relative to the
Into Daniel Pnrioll , jr. of Omaha , much of
which Is vouched for by those who know
the i relationship between John Clyde Sul
livan ] , who Is reinstated as paymaster In the
navy i by congressional action , and Parrcll
"The' recent rcliibtatemont of John Clyde
Sullivan as paymaster In the United States
navy Is connected with an Interesting story
of local Import. Years ago , Sullivan , then
pay-mister In the navy , was ordered to take
n station In Japan to pay the marines and
sailors of the Asiatic squadron. Somehow
and somewhere he picked up u homeless
youiK man who appealed to his clnirity and
whom he took with him to Japan to assist
him In his duties The young man's name
was Daniel Parrcll Farrell , who hnil ex
perienced bard times imd lough knocks ,
saved his moiipy , tind In course of years re
turned to the United States with a modest
fortune He v\cnt to Omaha nnd In a small
way ptartc-d a glucose factory , which , In
time , developed Into n considerable Industry
and made n rich man of the former out
cast. As Farrell's fortunes Increased those
of Sullivan waned , ho became mixed up with
the goveinmont over his accounts and Presi
dent Cleveland dismissed him fiom the serv
ice Sullivan always claimed that he ha.1
been persecuted and driven out of the serv
ice on n technicality without trial or ju
dicial Inquiry His only lecourso , however ,
lay In securing the passage of n special act
of congress reinstating him and this seemed
a remote hope for n man disgiacod nnd
without a dollar to bring his case to the
attention uf the lawniakcis.
"Fniroll heard of his cus > o at this time and
came to Washington to see Sullivan He
regarded him ns his benefactor to whoso
Initiative' and encouiagemciit ho owed his
wealth nnd station as n great manufacturer.
He heard Sullivan's story and told him to
remain In Washington until congress righted
the wiong done him. Until that was accom
plished he ( Parrell ) "would pay bis expenses.
That was twelve years ago During that
time Fnrrell footed the bills which his
former benefactor incurred In prosecuting
his ce&p , . Disappointment .after illsuppolnt-
ment awaited the latter , but persistency and
Tan ell's bounty enabled him to triumph.
The l.ibt congress passed a bill reinstating
him The president nppioved It and shortly
be will be icasslgned to duty
"But 0110 i egret clouds his happiness
Daniel Fariell did not live to see the fruition
of his act of generosity. Ho died n year
ago General Manderson , in speaking of the
case today , said bo was well acquainted with
the facts , but Instead of being n bomelws
young man nt the time described in the
story , rarrell acted ns paymaster's clerk
and recchcd $1,800 per year"
The controversy over the fast mall con-
tiact between Chicago and Omaha Is still
uiibcttled , and there is no prospect for Im
mediate settlement , according to General
Solicitor Manderson ot the Burlington.
Speaking of the matter , Mundorson said
"With the postmaster general away on a
lour of Cuba , it is iiioless for me to con
tinue hero any longer , and I expect to loivo
foi Omaha the lost of the week No man
can tell when n decision ns to hauling the
fast innllb between Omaha and Chicago will
be made , and the absence of the head of the
Pobtoinre department sends the decision Into
the futuic "

In Its favoi , strong cffoits nro being made

urally object to Its being considered on
party lines and hope the more Independent
members of the people's Independent pnrty
will assert independence on u hill which in
volves simply the efficiency of the court ,
especially as It Is understood to be favored
bv all members of the court , including Judge
Sullivan
That the supreme couit commission boa
never been a party Issue Is readily scon by
a review of the legislation out ot which It
was cioated The bill Is identical with the
bill passed In 1S")3 ) and re-enacted In 18 % ,
providing for a commission ot tlirco chosen
on nonpartlsnn lines. In fact It requires
expiessly the choice to be made so that not
more than one of the commissioners shall
belong to the same political party and the
present commission consists of ono repub
lican , one populist nnd one gold democrat.

When the bill was passed In 1811 the vote
In the bouse was TG ayes nnd I noes and
was signed by Governor Crounse. This v\as
the fusion legislature that elected William
V. Allen as fusion senator from Nebraska ,
and the bill was In reality passed by fusion
votes. Of the 70 ayes In thp house , 34 were
fiisloiilslH and of the 27 ayes In the wcnato ,
16 were fuslonlhts , Including among them
such good fusion nuthorltlua as P. H. Barry ,
now adjutant general , C W. Beal ot the
late legislative Investigating committee ,
Richard Dobson , the sturdy watchdog of the
last house ; Speaker Guflln , now chairman ,
of the populist btata committee ; W. V. Poi-

lieutenant govoiUor ; F. J. Hale ot Mndlhon ,
now in the senate ; H. G. Stewart , Horst ,
Kruse , Krlck , Sodcrman and a host of otbei
populist , and democratic lights.
In lS"i ! ) the samu bill was re-enacted and
signed bv Governor Holcomb , also high In
fusion circles. In the senate the ayes wera
30 , of which the fuslonlstb furnished 5 , nnd
the noes 2 In tbo house , the ayes were K6 ,
of which the fuslonlsts fuinlshed 18 , and
the noes only 6 Among the good fuslonlata
who supported the bill In 1R9& were ,1. C.

superintendent and nbslstant superintendent
of the Kearney reform school ; Adjutant
General Bairy for n second time. Hull ol
Hnrlan , Horst , Prltz , Caspar nnd a dozen
lesser luminaries
In view of all these facts shown by the
rozords It will bo Interesting to see whether
the caucus lash will servo to turn the fusionIsts -
Ists this BPsslon solidly against a moasur
which would never have been pnbbcd oiig-
Inally but foi fusion support or ro-enactcd
but for the approval ot a fusion governor.
