VETOES THE COUNCIL'S ACT

DETROIT , 'April 4. Mayor Mnybury to-
nlght vetoed the resolution of the common
council appointing Governor Plngrco and
two other citizens commissioners to pur
chase and operate the street railroads of
i Detroit for the city. The mayor Insisted that
|
j I ho favors municipal ownership , but ho nl-
| leges that the act empowering the council
to appoint this commission Is void.
The McLcod act delegates the power of
appointment of' the orlslnal commissioners
I to the council , but authorizes that subsequent -
' quent appointments be made by the mayor
I i and confirmed by the council. Maybury ,
I however , contends that the law confers
power to contract obligations under It upon
the council , but that any such action of the
council requires sanction by the mayor In
all cases and Is subject to Ills veto.
i No action to test the constitutionality of
the 'McLcod law han been begun by oppo
nents of the municipal ownership plan ,
Bending action on the mayor's veto , Thert
will probably be a legal battle.

In the moving of P. JI. Phllbln , the ticket
brolii , from the Pnxton hotel block this
week an Interesting story of man's com
bative qualities Is released. Something over
a year ago J. H. Kitchen had nn opportunity
to lease the two corner rooms of his hotel
block to the Northwestern railway for a
long time at n good figure. The Northwest
ern occupied ono of the rooms and Mr. Phil-
1 bin the other. The latter had a lease on his
I ! I quarters , which extended over a year into
; ' the future. At that time also there wns no
I outward display of affection between the
olllclals of railroads and tlckot brokers. Mr.
I Phllbln therefore had n double reason for
refusing to give up his comfortable quarters
his lease , nnd u disinclination to accomt
modulo the alleged antagonist to his busi
ness.
ness.Whon the agreement between Mr. Kitchen
and the Northwestern railway was made
the company forwarded a sot of handsome
mahogany fixtures for the enlarscd nnd Im
proved olflcp it expected to have. Mr. Phll
bln was obdurate lu his dadslon not to
move , so the furniture had to be- stored un
locked , where It has been for fully n year.
There was n door conncotlnK the room
ccoupled by Phllbln which connected with the
corridors of the hotel , nnd Mr. Kitchen pro
ceeded to Uavo thU nailed up. As winter
approached nnd there was no sign of Mr.
Phllbln moving out , the radiator In his room
was taktm away and a Ramo of freezo-out
started. There was no flue to which a steve
mlnht be connected , and the outlook was < jold
for the occupants of the disputed room. But
Mr. Phllbln had enough Irish- Ingenuity to
overcome this , and he put up n stove and
extended the pipe out through the transom
over the doors oponliiK on Farnam street.
The draft was not first-class In this Im
provises ! chimney , and the steve frequently
smoked. Innailing up tlio back door
the transom was overlooked , nnd on smoky
days Mr. Philbln generously opened the
front < leer and aho back transom , while the
fumes from smoldering soft coal softly
floated into the Paxton hotel corridors. After
a few experiences of this kind thle transom
was closed and sealed.
nut the smoke had to bo dtsposwl of In
some manner , and Uio pipe which extended
out Into Pnrnam street had a few joints
added to bring it above the level of tne
sign obstructions. This brought the open
ing of the improvised chimney opposite tne
windows In the parlor of the hotel , and the
smoke and gas again got In their work.
The windows therefore had to 'bo ' closed.
Mr. Kitchen ( had by this time succeeded ,
through some little < lt ! comfort to himself ,
In meeting the annoyances of his tenan : ,
and on the other hand , had shut off all
ventilation in the tlcicot .broker's ofllce.
These little courtcslee , Including several
cases in the district court , continued at In
tervals until last Saturday. On that < lay
Mr. Phllbln's lease expired and ho moved
Into other quarters.
The two corner rooms will now be re
constructed , according to the original plans.
In about u. month the Northwestern may
take its furniture from the warehouse , and
after a series of amunlng complications will
succeed at last In occupying finely appointed
quarters.

Di-femlN ( iiptiilii Waller.
OMAHA , March SI. To the Editor of the
Dei ; . Several colored newspapers of the
TranBinlss'ouri territory have recently pub
lished articles highly derogatory to the good
name and fame of Captain John L. Waller
of the United States Volunteers. The bur
den of these articles was to the effect that
Captain Waller , while In the line of duty us
an army ofllcer , committed acts grossly In
consistent with his olllcial position nnd re
pugnant to his honesty as u citizen. As
I have been long and intimately acquainted
with Captain Waller , and as I had never be
fore known his Integrity and honesty to bo
questioned , I have been , making some In
quiry Into the matter and find that the
offenses alleged against him are absolutely
without foundation.
Last summer during the tlmo of the
Spanish-American war Captain Waller or
ganized a company of volunteers In Kansas
City , Kan. This became u part of the
Twenty-third Kansas Volunteers which wab
sent to Cuba toward the latter part of the
summer and was attached to General Law-
ton's command. Captain Waller and his
company remained In Cuba until a few
weeks ago , after which time ho was re
turned to the states and he ami his com
pany are now at Ft. Lenvonworth , Kan. ,
waiting to bo mustered out.
My investigation has developed the fact
that during Cnptnln Waller's six months'
service in Cuba , ho enjoyed the rcnpoct nnd
confidence of both his men and his superior
olllcers. There were never charges of any
nature preferred against him , nor was hose
so much as reprimanded at any time by
hlfi fuiperlors.
During last September ho was appointed
by Oeneral La\Uon as a member of the
general court-martial , and Jut-or he wns ap
pointed by General Wood to a Ktlll higher
court for the trial of certain commissioned
officers , and ho served in both of theho
courts until the day ho left Cuba for the
United States. This Is the Drat distinction
of the kind to fall to the lot of an Ameri
can negro.
It then-fore seems conclusive that the Im
putations of dishonest and unoniclal conduct
above referred to are without foundation
except In the beclouded Imagination of eome
of Captain Waller's political enemies.
Llko other men of any prominence , Cap
tain WaUor has qullo u f-ew enemies from
that coturle of smallbore politicians which
Infest every community , and whoso chlei i
p.-utlmn IB attempting to bewmlrcli the char- I
actur and reputation of men who have I ho ' 1
ambition ami the ability to advance. Ho
hag for some time past exercised a per
ceptible InlUienirc on the course of Kansas
politic , and us a result ho was several
years ago anjiolntcd as a consular agent
of this government at Tamnuivc , Madagas
car ; and ns u further rouull of bin inlluenco
ho was made captain of Ills company of
volunteers. Thtuu and other Mmllar facts
fed and fattened the envy and jealousy of
Ills diminutive rivals und they have lost no
time nor opportunity in their efforts to
envenom his commoadablu record. ,
lloallzlng ns I do that every colored man I
that advanced lifts and Improves the condi
tion of the race just that much , and know
ing that there is a prevalent disposition
among inomburB of the race to retard the
progress if their fellows , .1 have made thu
Investigation which disclosed the foregoing
facts , to l he- end that exact jiibtlco may bo

HOSTON. April . A mass mcotng under
the ausplcwi of the Antl-lmporlallt league
was held In Tremont temple tonight and
was attended toy a largo olid enthusiastic
audience. The principal speaker was ox-
Secretary of the Treasury DouUull. He said :
In liiildtdon of ( ircnt llrldiln.
I have marshaled a portion of tVo evi
dence that Is at my command which proves
or tends to prove that the president h.is m-
tercd systematically upon a colonial policy
In Imitation of tlu < coluiilal policy of Great
llrllnlu. Four great events for which the
president Is responsible for In his office an1
] I ' reconcilable with each niln-r on one theory
. only and they all tend to one conclusion -
I American colonial system ,
j First. 1 mention the protocol of August
12 , 1S9S ; second , the treaty of Paris , Di-ccin.
I her 10 , 1MS ) ; then the proclamation to the
| Philippines of January B , l&.m , and llnally ,
! ' the Phlllplne | ) war of subjugation which the
president Is. now carrying on upon his solo
rcspoiulblllty and without special authority
of law.
Mr. noutwcll declared that he did not dis
pute the right of the United Stales under
the constitution to acquire- territory , but
Insisted that our form of government , "In
each and every one of Its attributes , pro
ceeds upon the Idea that the pei pie acting
as communities are to govern themselves. "
\Vlir In ( hi * riilliiillif | .
The speaker then referred to some of the
reasons advanced by HIOBO who favored the
conquest of the Philippines and said :
The prosecution of the war against the
Filipinos Is an offense to every producer and
every laborer and every taxpayer In Amer
ica. Our demand must be this : Withdraw
the troops from the Philippines. Leave the
Islands to theinhabitants. . Let them M't
up a government for themselves.
The next step In the career of public
crime , onhlch the country has entered is
the creation of a mercenary army to bo com
posixl of men with whom , for the most part ,
wo arc unable to have any personal inter
course , who have no personal knowledge of
our Institutions and who will be bound to
us by no tie except that which may be es
tablished between the oppressed and the
oppressor. Mercenary armies have been the
curpo of every country in which they wcro
employed.
The president occupies Uio position In
reference ( o the Philippines that Russia oc
cupies In regard to Poland and a position
kindred to the position Austria occupied to
Hungary In 1848 , when KoBsuth was carryIng -
Ing on a contest In behalf of self-govern
ment , In which all America sympathized.
.VII PoAVcrN < if it lc.ii > o ( .
What sort of government Is the president
setting up In the Philippine islands ? "
The answer must bo this : A military gov
ernment set up over a people who have been
subdued or are to be subdued by military
power. The president asserts a purpose to
use aJl the powers ever claimed by any
despot. In this , there is no middle groumi
in principle between republicanism in the
declaration of American independcnco nuil
the broadest claims that were over put forth
by the czar of Russia.
It is the purpose of the president to seize
and hold the Philippines by the strong- hand
of conquest to subjugate or exterminate the
natives and there iiro Indications that the
two events may coincide In respect to time.
The Filipinos might plead for the oppor
tunity to oxcrclse the right of self-govern
ment and nothing more. If the president
would accept the teaching of the declara
tion of independence we should bo at peace.
The seizure of the Philippines by us Is
English policy. In accepting England's
policy in the east , wo accept Its sovereignty.
Resolutions condemning the policy of the
administration were adopted.
