T booklet, the folder, the other advert: ing media read/, you through the po? office-perhaps and perhaps not-alo: with more important mail matter, ai the chances of their bridging ti waste-basket chasm are as one to fift approximately. 2 The newspaper is a necessity wi the publia It is read for the inform tion it contains. The busiest find tin to peruse its pages. It is' a wel?pn guest in every home, and it is in tl home circle that its influence as ? advertising medium bears greate weight.

A practical demonstration of tb value of newspaper advertising wa given in this vicinity a short tim since. Some of the most eEterprisin S of Asbury Park's merchants bandei together in a grand advertising coup In the local papers they announced special sale on a certain day. Train . were chartered to carry prospect!v customers up and down the railroa< free. Every merchant in the combin |v increased his newspaper space by man; inches. The advantages of the specia sale and the merits of the goods offer ed were extolled under flaring head lines. Advertisements crowded th< columns ordinarily devoted to readin? matter. The magnitude of the enter? prise, the boldness of its promoter? i and the novelty of such an advertising scheme were made the subjects oi extended comment in nearly everj newspaperman the country. The whole thing was m the nature of an experi? ment, and the merchants stood tc lose heavily if a failure was scored, v But their faith in advertising was amply justified. Thousands of people flocked to the town, and once there they spent their money. It made a difference of not less than $10.000 in the half-day's receipts or the mer? chants in the pool. It is a signifi * cant fact that the horde of strangers visiting town spent the money with the merchants that advertised. This brings me to another point I wish to emphasize. Newspaper ad? vertising is admittedly a sign of busi? ness prosperity, the thermomter that *i records the business temperature. The most successful merchants have been the largest newspaper advertisers. The size of a merchant's business, however, need not necessarily deter? mine the amount of his advertising ap? propriation. The point is to advertise and to keep on advertising. People who read newspapers read advertise? ments, because .when in want of any? thing the surest, handiest and quick? est way to find it is through the adver? tising columns of the paper. Banks, churches, libraries and oth? er exclusive institutions have awak? ened to the benefits of newspaper ad L vertising. The cards of physicians of all schools are seen in the papers, a practice formerly considered at vari? ance with professional ethics. All lines of trade and all professions are represented in tnt- newspaper adver? tising of today. The trend of adver? tising is newspaperward.-John E. ! Quinn, in Printer's Ink. *.

Beveridge Attempts to Charge Demo? cratic Lines But is Repelled. "Washington, May 6.-For almost four hours today a fiery discussion of the Philippine^ situation raged in the senate. It was started by Mr. Bever? idge of Indiana, who made some sharp strictures on the members of the op? position because, as he said, they per? sisted in telling in their specehes only one side of the story. "While he ad? mitted that some outrages had been committed by Americran soldiers in the Philippines, it was trues too, that unparalleled kindness had been shown by the American troops to Filipino prisoners and filipino wounded. Food and medicine, he said, had been shared With them and they had been succored on the battlefield and cared for tenderly iii the 'hospital. While saying that the omission to tell this side of the story by the Democrats was unintentional, he suggested that it was unfair to make an arraignment of the American soldier and not tell both sides. Mr. "Carmack and M. Eawlins warmly resented any intimation of unfairness. Mr. Eawlins declared that no partisan motive had actuated the opponents of the present Philippine policy, but that .they were moved only by patriotism ind love of country. Mr. Turner cf Washington delivered a scathing criticism of the methods practiced by the military authorities in the Philippines, dwelling particular? ly upon the alleged order of Gen. Smith, whom te denounced as a mon? ster in human form. He urged the Philippine committee to turn ail the light possible on the Philippine ques? tion to the end that the poeple might be fully informsd on the situation. Mr. Hoar" of Massachusetts briefly defended the action of the Philippine committee, sayi ng that already it had furnished much valuable information. He urged that the committeee, in. all justice, should call some prominent Filipinos to testify in their own be? half. During Mr. Beveridge's remarks Mr. Hoar of Massachusetts inquired if it was a fact, proved by testimony, that American soliders had tortured Filipinos until they they h?d confessed to the commission of crime. Mr. Beveridge said it had been proved that the water cure had been adminisered in the dreadful O'Hearne case. By the confession of the Filipi? nos to whom the water cure had been given, it was learned that O'Hearne had been burned to death over a slow fire. "Was this murder proved by any other testimony than that given in the testimony of thc? tortured Filipinos?" inquired Mr. Hoar. "Not that I know of," replied Mr. Beveridge. "Bit that evidence was conclusive." "The conduct of American soldiers in the Philippines," suggested Mr. Carmack of Tennessee, was uniformly kind whenever i ; was permitted to be so. In cases where it was otherwise they were driver to the cruelties by their superior officers." Mr. Beveridge said he was glad at this late day to hear an apology for at? tacks made upon the American sol? diers. Mr. Carrmack said that he ha?" i o apologies to make for any staten 'put he had made. Mr. Beveridge inquired if Mr. Car? mack could men cion more than a sin? gle instance where an officer had order? ed the administration of torture to a Filipino. Mr. Carmack replied that he had not referred to any special order but that the general orde::s of Genst Bell and Chaffee indicated that in the opinion of those officers the American troops were treating tho Filipinos too kindly. Mr. Beveridge ridiculed this answer of Mr. Carmack? declaring that when he asked him a d irect question he re? plied in a diaphanous way of the or? ders of Bell and Chaffee. In the course cf a rreply to some of the comments made by Mr. Beveridge, Mr. Rawlins o? Utah discussed at length the case of the murder of Ser? geant O'Hearne and said that the im? pression he had gotten from the testi? mony was that t ie Filipinos had been induced to make confessions suggest? ed to them by the administration of the water cure. Mr. Rawlins said outrages in the Philippines were due, not to the soldiers themselves but to the highest military authorities in the islands. The responsibility for them indeed was to be placed proper? ly at the door of the administration officials here in Washington. Mr. Rawlins said one victim was tied down by American troops and sugar was placed upon his head to at? tract the voracious ants, common in those islands, and forced to give in? formation. He s;,id too, that women and innocent chiidren had been put to death ruthlessly by American troops. Mr. Turner of Washington referred co the speech of Mr. Lodge, saying his purpose would be to supplement that speech and to drive home the con? clusion that it is tinwi.se, unpatriotic, ?rnel and inhuman to attempt in view j 3f the facts to make the Philippines i permanent part of the territory of :he United States. * IT rn ?.???? -uimi- _ Dangerous if Neglected.

SENSATION BY TILLMAN. Discharges a Stream of Hot Adjec? tives at Republicans Who De? fend a Savage War. Washington, May 7.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the senate took a sensational turn again today. Mr. McComas of Maryland referring to the alleged cruelties of American soldiers in the Philippines-cruelties which he deeply deplored-told of some of the cruelties which had occurred on both s?des during the Civil war. Neither side, he held, was to be held responsi? ble for those regrettable occurrences as neither side approved of them. Referring to elections in the south, Mr. McComas said that the senators from South Carolina and Mississippi (Tillman and Money) cried out against the small percentage of voters in the early elections in the Philippines. After discussing the election meth? ods in the States referred to he said : "We behold senators from the two States where there is less popular lib? erty than in any others, shouting loud? est for constitutional liberty on the other side of the globe" These remarks drew a sensational reply from Mr. Tillman of South Car? olina. He charged that McComas had passed over with complacency the "outrages and iniquities and barbari? ties" which had been, he said, "com? mitted by American soldiers." He declared that when the light had been turned on in full upon the Philippine situation the American people would see to it next November that the ma? jority in one branch of congress woald not be "committed to this infamous policy. " "I can have my way," he declared, "you shall not pass this bill until full light has being turned on the Philip? pine situation." He declared that it was no longer possible to sneer away the responsibil? ity for the cruelties and infamies com? mitted by the American soldiers in the Philippines. Referring to the situa? tion of the colored people in the south, Mr. Tillman declared the senators from those States were prepared to meet any legislation which might be brought into congress upon that ques? tion. He discussed the situation in the south during and subsequent to the Civil war and declared that if it had been known prior to the conclusion of the war that in the south the reins of government were to be tuned over to the negroes there would have been in? augurated a guerrilla warfare in the swamps of the south that would have been kept np indefinitely. As he discussed the question, he said he was scarcely able to control himself when he recalled the indigni? ties and humiliations to which the people of his State were subjected dur? ing the reconstuction period, from 1S68 to 1876. In his own State, he said, there were 200,000 more negroes than whites and in Mississippi there were 300,000 more colored than white people. In order to maintain their self respect the whites, he declared, were obliged to take the reins of gov? ernment in the son th by whatever means they could-using the shotgnn as one of the means. Referring to the inauguration of white supremacy in South Carolina he said the whites had secured a majority of 3,900. It might just as easilv have been, he said, 39,000 or 99,000." They simply got such a majority as was nec? essary. He referred to the outrages in the Philippines and then said he had heard only of the application of "sand cure" in the south. He thought the sand cure as described was murder. "When," he declared, "we get ready to put a negro's face in the sand, we put his body there too." He insisted that the Republicans' contention was that the negroes of the south were fitted to govern in this country, but thar the Filippinos were not fitted to govern themselves in the Philippines. In the United States, he maintained, a serious problem con? fronted the government-the negro problem-and we might better try to solve that than to hunt for trouble in the Philippines. "Throughout the south," he said, "there is a horror hanging over every household for this awful fear of rapine. And yet you turn your back' upon it and march to the east, where you murder and butcher and torture the poor Filipinos. And yoe are doing all this in the name of Christian? ity and humanity and liberty. I can see the hypocrisy cozing out of you all over. " ( Laughter, j "As Confederates," the senator said, "we cannot think it right to go into the Philippines and desolate the islands with fire and sword." Adverting further aiongto the situa? tion in the south, Mr. Tillman assert? ed. "We will not submit to negro domination and the sooner you under? stand that tho better." ile urged that discussion of the southern race question should cease. "Von are taunting us." said he, "about our treatment of the negroes of the south, hoping at the same time that we will not interfere with your game of devil? try in the Philippines. We hope you will help us of tho south to get rid of the threat of negro domination which hangs over us like the sword of Damo? cles. Lynchings will continue as long as tiios*' fiends rape our wives and daughters. While Mr. Tillman was speaking many of th'.' Democratic senators left rhe chamber, h\< audience on the floor being largely on the Republican side. Mr. Burton of Kansas vigorously ar? raigned Mr. Tillman for his ul ter inces.

May 7.-Secretary Root today submitted to the senate an answer to the resolution of May 1 call? ing for copies of any orders issued by Gen. Bell relative to reconcentration in Batangas and of the orders issued by Gen. Smith to Maj. Waller, set up by the latter in his defense before the courtmartial. The secretary also was asked to state whether these orders were approved by Gen. Chaffee or by the war department, when they were known to the department and when countermanded. In reply the secretary submits two orders by Gen. Bell, dated Dec. 8 and 9 last. In the first Gen. Bell recounts in detail the provocations submitted to for three years by the United States government in the Philippines. He refers to the treachery of the natives, to their use of infernal machines, and to their constant violation of all the rules of civilized warfare. Therefore he declares that he is reluctantly ob? liged to avail himself of retaliation under the regulations, and to deal severely with persons who commit the acts denounced in general order 100, and whenever unarmed prisoners or defenseless Americans or friendly na? tives are murdered for political pur? poses, he will execute a prisoner of war, chosen by lot from the town where the murder occurred. The secretary explains that the order referred to was approved by Abraham Lincoln and that the orders mention? ed in the resolution and in Bell's order of Dec. 13, were in strict conformity with the letter and spirit of this famous order, which he says "was a contribution to civilization of great and recognized value." Another order transmitted is one by Maj. Gen. Lloyd Wheaton, dated Manila, March 24, 1^902, upon the con? dition of the natives collected in the concentration camps, from which it appears that they were well fed, help? ful and contented. Gen. Wheaton ex? presses the belief that the camps can be broken up within 60 days. An im? portant endorsement on this' report is by Gen. Chaffee, in which he earnest? ly advises personal contact with the people and acquaintance with the situation in the Philippines before condemning what has been done. He understands that all the means justi? fied by the laws of war are to be ap? plied to defeat the methods of the enemy, saying: "If desperate in the last case, more desperate must be the attack to end it." Secretary Root says that there was no reason to doubt that the policy em? bodied in the above orders was at once the most effective and humane which <:-nid possibly be followed. The secretary in further replying to the resolution, denies knowledge of any order issued by Gen. Smith to Maj Waller, such as was referred to in the courtmartial, -and he encloses his orders for Gen. Smith's trial, based upon newspaper publications, as confirmed by Gen. Chaffee. He de? clares that all of Gen. Smith's writ? ten orders relative to Samar have al? ready been printed by the senate and they are all in strict conformity with general order ICO. BRET HARTE IS DEAD.

POPULAR STORY EMPHATICALLY CON ^ TRADICTED. Washington. May 8.-Discussion of the Philippine bill in the senate, while it scarcely abated in bitterness, took on an amusing phase. In a breezy speech Mr. Dolli ver of Iowa made such a good natured, and yet such a sarcastic, arraignment of Mr Carmack of Tennessee that senators and occu? pants o? the thronged galleries were convulsed with- laughter. While seemingly considerable temper was aroused by the debate, good feeling was shown by the active participants in the war of words-Mr. Dolliver and Mr. Carmack-who cordially shook hands and laughed over the encounter. Mr. Burton of Kansas concluded the speech which he began yesterday. He referred, as instances of atrocious cruelty, to the battle of Wounded Knee, to the Mountain Meadow mas? sacre and to the masascre of Union soldiers at Fort Pillow and contended that the action of the American troops in the Philippines was. in most in? stances, entirely within the regulations of civilized warfare. ""Continuing, Mr. Burton referred to the remarkable speceh delivered in the senate yesterday by Mr. Tillman of South Carolina. He paid a tribute to the work being done by Booker Washington for the colored race and suggested that if the colored people would follow his advice they would be successful. Mr. Vest of Missouri called atten? tion to the statement of Mr. Tillman made yesterday, which he said he was compelled to take notice of in justice both to thejliving and the dead. That statement, which had been found in the public press and upon the lecture paltform for the last three years, was that at the historic conference in Hampton Roads in 1864 between Presi? dent Lincoln, Wm. H. Seward, sec? retary of state ; Alexander H. Stephens, vice president of the Confederate States ; R. M. T. Hunter, former United States senator, and John A. Campbell, formerly justice of the Uni? ted States supreme court; President Lincoln wrote upon a piece of paper "save the union," then handing it to Stephens, said, "Alex., take this paper and fill up for yourself the con? ditions of peace between the two coun? tries." Mr. Vest said the story had been denied by John H. Reagan of Texas, who was the last surviving member of the Confederate cabinet. He knew personally, said Mr. Vest, without having been present at that combined'interview that the incident was without the slightest foundation. "If true," said he, "it would place the government and officers of the Con? federate States in the category of criminals because it offered the Con? federacy all that it ever demanded in the wildest hope of the most extreme partisans of that cause if they would only return to the union." A deep silence had fallen upon the chamber and every member on the floor listened to him with rapt attention. With great deliberateness he contin? ued: "If true it would mean that the Confederates could have placed on that sheet of paper the perpetual establish? ment of slavery and the right of seces? sion, the most extreme demand that had ever been taken locally even in the dreams of any Confederate." From the lips of Stephens and Hunter had come to him, he said, the details of what took place. Upon the return of the commissioners of the Confederacy he heard their official report as Mr. Reagan heard it, he being a member of the cabinet and himself a member of the Confedreate senate. "I am toady the only surviving member of the 26 gentlemen who acted as Confed? erate senators,^ he said. Mr. Vest then stated that what did happen at Hampton Roads beyond question was this: That when the president and Secretary Seward met the commissioners of the Confeder? acy, Mr. Lincoln, addressing himself to Mr. Hunter, whom he know well, said: "In the first place, gentlemen, I desire to know your powers and instructions from the Richmond government," avoiding, said Mr. Vest, as Mr. Hunter told him himself, the words "Confederate States." Mr. Hunter, to whom the inquiry was addressed, said: "Mr. President, we are instructed to consider no prop? osition that does not involve the inde? pendence of the Confederate States of America." "Then," said Mr. Lin? coln, "the interview may as well terminate now, for I must say to you gentlemen, frankly and honestly, that nothing will be accepted from the gov? ernment at Richmond except absolute and unconditional surrender." Mr. Vest then said that this termi? nated the interview and as the Confed erate commissioners retired. Presi? dent Lincoln, addressing Stephens, who was the last to go out. said : "Stephens, you are making a great mistake Your government is a fail? ure and when the crash conies, as it ?oon must come, there will be chaos and disaster which we cannot now foresee which must come to your peo? ple. . ' ' "This account of that interview," continued Mr. Vest, "substantially md almost word for word as I have ii von it. came io me from Mr. Stephens and Mr. Hunter." Mr Vest said that he considered it lis duty to make this statement in )rder that history may not be falsified : n order that the men who were said o have refused this offer at the hands )f President Lincoln, should not be nade to sin in their graves, adding, 'for if they had refused whatjwas said ;o have been tendered to them by the resident they would have been acces? iones to the murder of every man who ell from that time in defense of the Confederate cause, and they should lave given the lie to the intentions, which they professed when they risk? ed everything, everything that is held dear amongst men in defense of the Confederate canse." While the deep silence still reigned in the chamber as he spoke and with every eye directed toward him, Mr. Vest concluded as follows: "It may be bat a very short time till I shall join the 25 colleagues I had in^the Con? federate senate, and I did not "want this statement to go into the record of this country without my statement of these facts and ray solemn denial that there is no shadow of truth in this assertion which has been going the rounds of the newspapers of the coun? try of the last few years." DISORDER IN R?SSUL Starving Peasants Raid Barns, Granaries and Pantries of Rich Noblemen. St. Petersburg, May 8.-A repre? sentative of the Associated Press, after a personal investigation of the situation in Southern Russia, writes from Moscow under date of Saturday, May 3, as follows : "Comparative order has been re? stored in the government of Poltava and Kharkoff, but the peasants are only outwardly quiescent, believing that the grant of a division of lands of noblemen will be effected during the coming autumn, leaving the Hardy landowners only 20 acres and a yok<* of oxen each. "Authentic particulars of the disor? ders prevailing during the last thiee weeks show they were largely^ due :c extreme suffering from famine, which was utilized by agitators to foment a rising. The peasants were not the only believers in the issue of an im? perial Ukase permitting a division of the property of the nobility, and a charitable distribution .of potatoes by the steward of the Duke of Meklen burg's estate at Kharloffka tended to confirm this belief. The people of the whole country? side, often led by the village mag? nates, streamed to the Kharloffka and other estates, afoot, horseback and in wagons, demanding the keys of the pantries, granaries and barns and car? ried off their contents. Rich Cossacks suffered equally with the noblemen. When landowners refused to deliver up the keys the peasants broke down the doors.. quietly seizing foodstuff and returned home, even well-to-do peas? ants sharing in the plunder. When unopposed the peasants contented themselves with supplying their im? mediate needs, but when balked they burned and destroyed, carried off live stock and desolated estates."
