CHICAGO , May C. A special to the Times-
Herald from Washington says : Agulnaldo'H
representatives to the American Philippine
commlKslon have formally admitted the
sovereignty of the United States over the
Philippine archipelago.
Ficim a member of the cabinet It Is learned
that this admission was made to President
Bchurmann at a conference held by him with
Colonel Arguelles and Lieutenant Bernal
several days ago. It was In reply to a direct
question put to them by Mr. Schurmann and
the character of the answer was no doubt as
gratifying to the commission as U. is to the
president.
As a result of a dispatch sent by Mr ,
echurmann , It Is the confident expectation of
the president that the end ot the rebellion Is
close at hand This result will not bo
obtained , though , without concessions , which
have been recommended by the commission
end which , by direction of the president ,
will bo granted. These concessions con
template giving to the Flllpllios a form of
government modeled after that of the
United States. The member of the cabinet
.who gave the above Information said that
the commission bad unanimously adopted n
recommendation which was submitted to the
president , In Mr. Schurmann'a dispatch , pro
viding three departments for the now govern
ment of the archipelago first , the executive
department ; second , the legislative depart
ment , and third , the judicial department.

STORY OF EGBERT'S DEATH
DanRlifer of ( Jnllmit Colonel Ic-
Nurlhen TuentHeeond'ii Attack
on Mnllntii Church.
CINCINNATI , O , .May C. The Commer
cial Tribune will print tomorrow a touching
letter from Miss Bessie Egbert , daughter ot
Colonel II. r. Egbert of the Twenty-second
Infantry , who was killed leading his regi
ment nrur Caloocan. It Is dated March 29 ,
ami describes Ills career and fate In the
Philippines.
Describing the battle , the letter reads :
"Saturday night , March 25 , they camped on
the bank of the river Tullha and Sunday
morning the brigade was ordcicd by Gen
eral Wheaton to take the towu of ilallnta
and open the way to Palo and ( Malolos. The
town Is surrounded by n otono wall and Is
on a llttlo eminence.
"Tho church was crowded with the enemy.
Ilefore our men got In range they had to
cross the river , and the eurgeon who was
acting as papa's adjutant says that there
were plenty of rafts for the officers , but that
papa plunged In with his men and the water
was up to his breast.
"When they got over the general sent
papa an order to take the trenches In front
of the town and then to charge the wall
and storm the place. At first It was hard
to start them , the flro was so bitter and
those open fields seemed so far across. Papa
went up and down the line calling to them
to cheer ( these Flllnlnos are terribly afraid
of a cheer ) , and finally he got them started
through the bushes , and just then ho was
hit.
"Tho regiment stopped a second and the
word ran down the line that the colonel
was shot , and then they started forward
like demons , never stopping for commands
or orders , and they got to the wall and
swarmed over It and took the town before
they stopped. Papa lived one hour oftrr
he was shot and knew before ho died that
the town was taken.
"General Wheaton came to him and the
surgeon told us the general just sobbed and
sobbed. He said , 'Egbert , you made a mag
nificent fight. ' And papa , lying on the lit
ter , smiled and said : 'Wo took the town ,
anyway , general. ' "
The writer says further along , patheti
cally : "Papa never had any hoiror of death
and tried always to make us feel as he did ,
hat It was a perfectly natural thing and
here was nothing mjsterlous or awful about
t. We Just feel as though he had gone away
'or many years , and It Is the porting which
hurts. Hl.i example has bccu a wonderful
ono to everyone Every man who was with
ilm In the field says ho knew absolutely
no fear. "

( Copyright , 1SW , by Associated Press. )
BKllLIN , May 6 The belief has taken
complete possession of the public mind In
Germany that German Intercuts In Samoa
have been brutally and ruthlessly disre
garded by both England and the United
States. It seems that this view Is steadily
jalnlng strength with nearly all classes.
The press openly reflects the sentiment wltn
increasing violence. The government has
done nothing during last week cither to
[ ortlfy or to dispel this trend of public opin
ion The government press has been
strangely silent upon the subject.
The agrarian newspapers and many other
journals have seized the occasion of the
Dlrthday anniversary of the Imperial minis
ter for foreign affairs , Baron von Buolow ,
to severely attack him for what they style
ils supine disregard of Germany's legitimate
Interests In Samoa and hie alleged obsequi
ousness toward Great Britain and the United
States. The matter of claims of damages
both In Samoa and the Philippine Islands
for German property destroyed In recent en
gagements has also been Injected Into the
[ ) Tcea discussion with singularly growing ex
citement , , the assertion being made that the
lotted s'tutes meant to disregard these
"Just claims. "
The imperial foreign office , however , has
done nothing to create or foster this condi
tion of public feeling.
In the course of nn Interview with ttie
correspondent Uero of the Associated Press
the United States ambassador to Germany ,
Andrew D. White , said :
"Tho question ot German claims for dam
ages for property destroyed in the Philip
pine Islands or In Samoa In consequence of
acts of our naval or land forces was never
once mentioned during all the conferences
which I have had with the imperial minis
ter for foreign affairs. So far as I am
aware , no such question has yet come up
at the foreign office. At any rate. It is too
early to discuss the subject , as no evidence ,
pro or con , has been advanced on either
side. "
It appears that the sole basis for the
wholesale charges In the newspapers with
regard to these alleged enormous damages
Is a few private letters received from the
Philippine Islands and Samoa , In which the
writers seek to make out a case In ad
vance. The Vosslsche Zeltung and other
Journals have reproduced two of these let
ters-taking for granted all that was therein
claimed and arguing on the lines presented
by the writers of the letters who , among a
number of alleged facts , asserted that Major
General Otis , nt Manila , has bluntly de
clined to recognize any German claims for
damages. When United States Ambassador
White was asked about this matter by the
Associated Press correspondent he was very
reticent , only saying :
'Of course the reports of General Otis on
any of these cases would have great weight
with the State department , but In any event
the final adjustment of such claims must
bo made at Washington and not at Manila. "
AlleKCil llrltlNli I'erllil } .
The Kreuzo Zeltung. In the course of nn
editorial article that has attracted a great
deal of attention , said
"Despite the African agreement between
England and Germany and despite the ci
vilities interchanged this extraordinarily
perfidious act in Samoa was planned by the
English , who kept In the background and
sent some American hotspurs to the front
In order to establish the fact of an Anglo-
American brotherhood In arms end cmbrolgl
Germany and the United States to the ex
tent that an understanding was rendered
next to Impossible. This much Is certain ,
that the friendly understanding between the
United States and Germany Is a combina
tion that British statecraft just now relishes
least of nil. "
The North German Gazette , mentioning
reports that English and American merchants
In Samoa express a desire to see Germany
annex the whole of the group , bitterly at
tacks the Imperial foreign office for sup
pressing this statement and keeping It out
of the press.
The agrarian Deutsche Tagcs Zeltung , In
the course ot a severe review of German's
attitude toward the United States during the
last yeir , blames the Imperial foreign ofilce
with "knuckling down to the Americans" In
every case , oven recalling the Instance of
Admiral von Dledrlchs at ( Manila , "eo as not
to hurt the feelings of messieurs , the Amor-
leans. " The article concludes ns follows :
"Only by now showing a bold and unyield
ing front can the nrwtlgo of the empire ,
which has suffered so sellously latterly , bo
re-established. "
The same newspaper and a number of
other * blame the emperor for showing too
much frleiidllnera toward Americans and
charge President McKlnlcy with a gross
wont of tact In not replying to Emperor
William's telegram of congratulations on
the subject of the new transatlantic cable In
Gorman , and "thus outraging all Interna
tional courtesy. "
Other 1'aiierft More HenHonnble.
On the other band the Berlin Tagoblatt ,
the Cologne Gazette and a large part of the
liberal press took a more rational view of
the relations between Germany and the
United States , alluding to the good will cf
the United States ae recently shown on sev
eral occasions In highly complimentary
terms ,
The animosity of the agrarians toward
Daren von Buelow and the foreign policy ot
Germany Is largely duo to the meat In
spection bill , the provisions of which so far
as can ba seen are favorable to American
Interests , which condition of affairs Is at
tributed to the Influence of Baron von Bue
low. The agrarian campaign against the
meat Inspection bill continues In full force.
The Federation of Husbandry this week pre-
eented 3,056 petitions against the bill.
The agrarian Deutsche Tagcs Zeltung ,
which has had a series of articles aiming
to show dhat all American meat Imported
Into Germany Is unfit for fend , presents a
letter frcin Ernest Uennlnghovcn of Chicago
cage regarding the meat Industry of that
city. Bennlnghoven , In this letter , claims
to know positively < hat all canned moat
Intended for export to Germany la from
diseased and otherwise unfit animals.
Wagonloads ot such meat , ho asserts , are
delivered weekly nt the leading packing
houses for "embalming purposes. " Inspec
tion , Bcnnlnghovcn sojs. Is a howling farce ,
owing to wholesale bribery. The writer
adds that he hoped Germany would not
allow the Importation of such meat. This
loiter baa been -widely reproduced In the
German press and Is quoted ns conclusive
proof from headquarters against all Ameri
can meats.
The failure of the Filipinos to secure nn
armistice Is generally regarded hero with
regret and the hope Is expressed that nn
nmlcablo understanding "will bo reached.
The sending of commissioners from Germany
for the purpose of studying the status and
methods of Now York Insurance compa
nies has boon much commented upon by
the Insurance nnd general | ) rcss. The
Krcuze Zoltung says :
"It IB to bo hoped that If the government
again grants companies the right to operate
In Prussia , certain conditions will bo at
tached nnd that especially no tontlno fea
tures will be permitted In German policies ,
such features partaking ot the nature of a
lottery. " *

Prnnclilxc According in AKC.
The high class periodical , the Dcuteche
Wahenblatt , published today an article by
Jacob Heckler , entitled "A Proposal for Im
proving the Reichstag Franchise , " In which
the writer suggests dividing voters In three
classes , according to age , thope from 25 to
40 having ono vote each , those from 40 to
55 two votes and those over 55 thtee votes.
The argument In favor of this proposition
Is based upon the supposed Increase In po
litical wisdom and cool judgment that comes
with age.
The correspondent here of the Associated
Press has learned that the emperor has read
the manuscript of Heckler's article ana
highly approved It , believing that the adop
tion of Its propositions would abolish the
most objcctlonal excrescences of the fran
chlso and Incidentally renders socialists less
dangerous. Prince Hohenloho nnd other
members of the Imperial cabinet have also
expressed approval of the scheme for similar
reasons. The plan will be seriously consid
ered by the cabinet with a view to Introduc
ing It in the Bundesrath.
The emperor has appointed Mr. From-
mann consul at St. Louis.
CRITICISE MARCONI'S SYSTEM

( Copyrlcht , 1899 , by Press Publishing Co )
LONDON , May 6. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Marconi's sys-
tern nnd Us achievements and prospects are
beginning to be pooh-hooed by scientific au
thorities here. Nature , n scientific publica
tion of high standing , frankly depreciated
Marconi and all his works as follows :
"Npthlng whatever about wireless telegraphy
lias given the smallest Indication that It
Is going to supplant wires. It simply fills
a want. Wireless telegraphy may maintain
communication with outlying Islands when
cables break down. It did BO by postofllce
with the Island of Mull In 1895 , before Mar
coni was heard of , but tt Is not going to re
place one single cable between Great Britain
and the continent. Marconi's system has
now been before the public nearly two years ,
but wo have not heard anything now from
n scientific point of view since the discov
ery was first published. These repeated sen
sational experiments are a pure scientific ap.
paratus boomed by energetic financial spec
ulators for their own Individual gain ana
not for the benefit of the public. "
Mr. Prccco , consulting electrician to tlie
English postofllce , takes the same llno'In al
most Identical language. Says ho : "There
can be no question of the value of Mar
coni's svstem for lightships , Isolated light
houses and for naval and military purpose * ,
but for commercial uses such as telegraphic
communication with Franco It Is at present
nowhere. A single Marconi circuit cannot
transmit more than twenty words per min
ute. "
Engineer officers detailed by the French
govcinincnt , It Is declared , have said In their
report that while Marconl's , experiment have
proved of certain value In special circum
stances and undoubtedly promise great ml-
vaitage In communication with light ships

1U application to long distance work or for

PAHIS , May 0. ( Now York World Cable
gram Special Telegram. ) The outgoing
transatlantl < iuc > liner from Havre this week
bears the embalmed body of Miss Jessie
Allen , aged 2S , of San Francisco , whose
death happened under pathetically tragic
circumstances.
Miss Allen , one. of the most promising
American art students In Paris , went on a
cvcllng tour with a party of friends early
In April. While riding near Tlnnncs , Brlt-
tuny , a dog jumped on her back , throw her
to the ground and severely sprained her
ankle. She was conveyed to Paris where , on
reaching Hannes , she consulted Dr. Paul
Archambaud , director of a school of ortho-
poedlo massage , 21 Hue de Cujas Though
no bone was broken and the tendons of the
ankle were severely lacerated and the skin
broken , Archambaud subjected Miss Allen
to in itf-Qge treatment. He used no antisep
tics and blood poisoning resulted.
Miss Allen was removed to Bouclcault
hospital where despite every attention by
the most distinguished physicians she died
a week ago.
Jessie Allen came to Paris to study art
four 5 oars ago and had just placed her foot
on the first rung of the ladder of artistic
fame by getting two pictures accepted for
this year's salon. Ono of these is a Venetian
canal subject , the other n miniature of a
girl. They are draped with crape and the
touching story of their creator's death Is
on everyone's llpa in artistic Paris.
In the same room , also In mourning deco
ration , Is a picture ot Jessie Allen herself ,
painted by her fellow American student ,
Miss Woodward of Michigan. Miss Woodward
told mo that for weeks she and Jessie Allen
had been painting each other's portraits ,
but Miss Woodward's only was finished
enough to bo sent to the salon.
There was the highest promise In Miss
Allen's "work. " She was very popular among
her fellow students , who are deeply shocked
by her death. Consul General Gowdy and
Deputy Consul General Bow en made all for.
mal arrangements for the embalming and
shipment of the remains , in which they were
assisted in every way by the authorities of
Boucicault hospital , whose staff made super
human efforts to save the young artist's life.
Miss Alice , secretary ot the reorganized
American Girls' club , to whom Miss Allen
applied when her case was becoming serious ,
said :
Due to Improper Treatment.
"There Is no doubt that her sad death
was duo to Improper massage treatment. It
should bo n warning to Americans In Paris.
If Miss Allen had applied to me. In the first
instance I should have sent her at once tea
a hcspital. It Is always safer In any diffi
culties. "
Miss Wood , correspondent nt the studio
Jointly occupied by her with the dead girl ,
said : "There Is no doubt that death was
caused by mistaken massage treatment
without antiseptic precautions. Blood poison
Ing was already advanced
when she was re
moved to the hospital. Dr. Marchand there
suggested amputation of the foot , but Jessie
said she would rather die. Injections of pure
blood wcro tried , but were all Ineffectual ,
although she was physically a strong ,
healthy woman. Her last words were : 'Let

formal bid lot the leadership of the reor
ganized liberal party on the basis of elim

Imperialism hitherto appropriated by the

political circles. It Is a direct challenge to

Iterated his lovalty to Irish homo rule , and
It Introduces a fresh element of disunion Into

LONDON. iMny 6. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) Croker's ar-
rlvnl has created no flutter In racing clr-
cke , as unless bio 2-ycar-olils
, some of - - de
velop high qualities , his stable Is not re
garded of any account this season. He went
down to Wantage on Friday with his filcncl ,
Naglc , and was met at the station by his
trainer , Stanley. He went straight to the
stables , where ho spent over nn hour before
going Into Moat house. He returned to Lon
don this morning on his way to Kempton
park to see the Great Jubilee stakes run ,
and he sleeps tonight at Nnblu's rooms In
Pantoii street , which Is generally voted
rathur an undignified abode for Tammany's
bees.
Crokcr was unnoticed In the enclosure
at Kempton except by a few Jockeys whom
he had employed from time to time. Ho
seems to have made no friends among En
gllsh sporte. Ho was around all the time
with Nagle , maintaining his characteristic
impassive and reserved demeanor. Ted Sloan
accorded him a patronizing handshake and
a couple of sentences , but evidently ] md no
time to Icee with so Inconsldarihlo a figure
on the English turf as the renowned Bosa
Crokcr undoubtedly is.
Sloan , acting on the repeated advice of
Lord William Beresford , talks of taking a
reel , his health remaining very Indifferent.
Ho rode only three times this week , win
ning after a splendid finish on Chevenlng
from Madden on O'Donovnn Rossa , csteemel
the smartest 2-year-old In training H was
one of Sloan's cleverest bits of horseman
ship since ho has been here. After the duke
of Wostmlnster'o Flying Fox won the Ches
ter cup the duke , meeting Sloan In the pad
dock , asked him what ho thought of his
horse , which , by the way , Is first favorite
for the Derby. The duke Is seldom eecn
on the race tracks. Sloan did not know
him and , giving him n suspicious glance up
and down assuring himself ho was not a rac
ing tout or Interviewer , replied with con-
descennlon :
"Well , sir. Flying Fox Is the best horse
I over saw In my life or nm ever likely to
see , nnd if you want to see what a really
good horse is like you Just go and have
a look at him before he's taken home. "
The duke preserved his gravity nnd went
back to the prince of Wales' party , whore
ho told the prince the Incident to the lat-
ter'B Intense amusement Some time after
the prince with the duke , seeing Sloan
near the saddling room , eald to him laugh
ingly
"Tho duke of Westminster has taken
your advice nnd had a look at Flying Fox
nnd Is Inclined to agree with you aboul
him. "
Ted saw the humor of the situation nnd
replied : "I think , sir , your friend the duke
Is lucky In having such a horse. "
Sloan's average winning amounts are so
far the highest among this season's jockles
ns In fifty-ono mounts ho has won nine
teen. Mornlngton Cannon , at the top of the
list with 100 mounts , won tvventy-olghi
times ; Madden , In 1C.1 ; , won twenty-six ; S ,
Loatcs , In 125 , won twenty-five ; T. Loatea
In 162 , won twenty-three. It Is contomlc <
that Sloan's average Is eo high because ho
la more careful in picking his mounts am
taking less chances of defeat.
Sloan had an exciting experience at Kamp-
ton today. While cantering down to Iho post
for the Hampton handicap on Esmoralda the
filly kicked opposite tbo stand and Sloai
promptly came off. A largo crowd gathcrei
round , but , foitunatcly , ho was unhurt nnd
borrowing a policeman's horse , attemtpei
unsucccfwfully to get dawn to the post for
the start. However ho regained his laurels
by a brilliant victory In tha Jubilee stakes
on Lord William Bereuford's Knight o
Thistle , and this following so rapidly on his
triumph on Slbola has made him more pop
ular than over.

LONDON , May t ! ( New York World Ca-
ilcgrnm Special Tolvgrnin. ) Lord Byron ,
ollatcrnl descendant of the poet , Is nppenr-
IIK In the bankruptcy court under scnsn-
tonal clicumstanccs. In the space of twlvo
nnnths ho 1ms been victimized In nn In-
cicdlble fashion by Mis. Klugscoto , daugh-
or of Sir Henry Drummond Wolff , DrltUh
Minister to Madrid. She first wrote liltn that
although ho did not know her she had met
him at several oountrhouse parties and
attKed him for a loan of $10,000 , as she was
n sere trouble. Ho replied that ho coulu
not receive ncr then , ns he was staving ni
n hotel nt Molvcrn , but would on returning
o London. She , ( lowever , vvi-nt to Malvern
and In two days she had got him to sell
out $25,000 worth of Ei-curltlus to ralso $10.-
000 for her. In u space of n fovv months
she extracted from him some $200,000 more
in various and , ns now alleged , false rep
resentations ns to her financial position ,
ilyron , who Is 33 , Is extiemely simple and
mpresslonablc , while Mrs. Klngscoto ,
though not now handsome , Is still attractive
tud reputed to possess n most plnuslbla
tongue and her tnllucnco over him became
supremo.
Some two years since nn Immense sonBa-
.Ion was created In society nt the time by
Lord Burton , Ilic millionaire head of thn
inss ale firm , repudiating n check signed
jy him for $100,000. It was payable to Mrs.
itlngscote , who piotcstcd the signature waa
genuine , and this the drawer subsequently
admitted. Thus to public knowledge this
woman within two years has obtained
f300,000 from the two men , but It Is said
she has lost the lot batting.
She has been summoned In the Byron bank
ruptcy proceedings to testify and If she ap
pears It Is expected an extraordinary story
of male credulity and female ingenuity will
30 revealed. Lord Byron's family Is trying
to save lilm from being declared n bank
rupt as that would disqualify him from sit
ting In the House of Lords. Ho Is averred
to bo only one of Mrs. Klngscoto's victims ,
though this Is the first time her financial
transactions have been Investigated In court.

Lady Sophie Scott , daughter of Vl.coroy
Karl Cadogan , who loft her husband' , Sir
Samuel Scott , under circumstances explained
In last week's dispatches , has now returned

of her sister , Lady Lurgan , on the Thamei.
Lady Sophlo Is to rrmnln there for the sea

trip around the world and will resign his
sent In Parliament. Lord Cadogan was In
sisting on resigning the Irish vlceroyalty
until the personal Intervention of the queen
Induced him to retain the position. The

duke was mentioned ns an exact typo of
the reclaimed roue the dramatist presents
with such lifelike fidelity , i\or since the
unique occasion fifteen years since when the
duke astonished London by presiding nt thu
marriage of Connie nilchrist , a pretty Gaiety
dancer , and giving the bride away to young
Kail Orkney , Beaufort had lived almost In
retirement. Women and sport had been the
pafslon of his life. Ho abandoned the
former when ho settled $5,000 a year and
gave a dot of $20,000 to Connie , but to the
latter ho remained faithful. Ho devoted the
last yeais to editing the Badminton library ,
the best series of sporting hookn extant , Before -
fore bin Infatuation for Connie , who wan
then only 15 , ho iva.s a familiar figure In
attendance on many pi city actresses. The
