NASH IS TO FOLLOW DE LEON
New Jersey Man Named as Consul
General to Ecuador.
Washington, May 2.~ Tne president
lias sent, to the se.nnte the name of
Thomas Nash, ot Nt w Jersey, to suc
ceed Perry M. De Leon, of Georgia,
as United States consul general at
Gpayqml. Ecuador). Ibis, was ac
companied by the announcement at
the state department that. Mr. De
Leon had “resigned.” The change
came as a surprise because of the
.'repeated announcements fi(om the
state department that Mr. De I .eon
was simply coming home on a leave.
He is in New York and has not had
an oportunity of fully explaining his
side of the trouble in Ecuador which
nave led to i.is re.-all.
It is understood, however, that the
recall was at, the the Ec
uadorian government, with which Mr.
De Leom bail become persona non
grata because of nis action in behalf
cf the Central American,citizens Who
he believed, were being imposed upon
by- tin.- officials of the iota, govern
ment.. it seems to he nothing else
than a case of tring made to suffer
for his stenuous Americanism. The
tact tthat, a consular officer pronounc
ed by the government to which he is
assigned persona non grata almost
inevitably brings his recall.
Child Badly Hurt.
Tne little three year old boy of Jim
Bryiajnt, the city balk janitor, was
seiionsly hurt in a ru away a few
days ago, and it is thought the the
boy's right leg will ~ave to be ampu

Anent the Daniels Appointment.
Senators have had a good deal of
quiet fun first and last at the expense
of the president over the appointment
of I*en Daniels to be marshal of Ari
zona. It was at a dinner where jokes
were being east around that Senator
Hanna said. “Mr. President. Scott
| West Virginia senator 1 has found
your standard.” “How's that?’ ashed
the president. “Why.” responded Han
na. “Seoit says every time he went to
see you about an appointment you told
hi in .sou would appoint any one he
would recommend, but tin* man must
i be up to your ‘standard.’ Now. be says
be Jims found it." Everybody was all
attention, and Hanna continued. “Scott
says it’s Hen Daniels.*' K very body
laughed and none more heartily than
the president. Senator Scott never
takes any one to the White House now
that the president does not tell the
“standard" story. It is also told that
Senator Hoar, who investigated the
case of Daniels when his nomination
was before the senate, found that the
charge that Daniels had run a faro
bank was not true, and shortly after
Daniels appeared before the committee
and acknowledged that he lmd been ft
faro dealer. Members of the committee
tell this on Mr. Hoar.
Capitol Notes.
Occasionally the absence of a sena
tor is noted, and if it is for any length
of time while there are matters of in
terest going forward in tin* senate it
may be guessed that “home fences’*
are in need of repair.
Representative Shafroth of Colorado ;
is seen quite frequently about the sen
ate, but it Is not because he is trying
to become a senator or is a candidate.
He never misses an opportunity to
listen to speeches by Senators Teller ,
and Patterson of his state, and as they
have been in the debates a great deal
of late his presence In the senate is ac
counted for.

“Fire-Tried, Holiness Man Fails to

Greensboro just now is enjoying the
sensational preaching or teaching, of
a man named hodgin, who is at the
head of what is called the “Fire-tried

Holiness church.”
Those who make up his audience
are white persons, but belong to tne
more ignorant class. They conic form
many places, some of them miles
away, to hear the “holiness man” as
they twin him.
There is not a service, day or night,

utmost limit. The scene is an al
nost indescribable one, as those
who make up the audience are invar
iably wrought up to the pitch where
uey sing, shout, jump and clap their
hands for hours at a time.
Hodgiu gave it out yesterday that
he would east out a devil from an
ifilet and young man. The latter, Ed
Haynes by name, was taken by his
mother to the "holiness man," who de
clared that he could promptly dis
pense with the presence of the evil
spirit. Instead, however, Haynes went
raving ma.. and is confined in jail.

He was a cousin of Dr. J. M. Spence,

“RED SHIRT STORIES, THE FORT
PILLOW AFFAIR AND MASSACRE
OF INDIANS TO BE HURLED AT
THE DEMOCRATS.
Washington, May 2.—'The republi
cans have executed a complete change
of policy toward the Philippines gov
ernment bill and instead of attempt
ing to meet it with silence, have de
cided to take an active hand in the
debate. Smarting under the criticisms
that have come from all parts of the
country as the result of recent dis
closures, administration leaders have
concluded that they must meet the
charge made and they are preparing
to do so with vigor. The outlook is
that next week’s debate will contain
a number of sensational features.
Senator - ritchard. of North Carolina
was to have made the first speech
on the republican side today, but it
was so late when Senator Carmack
concluded that he decided to a.itiress
the senate tomorrow instead.
To Recall Alleged Horrors.
Senator Pritchard’s speech will be
a defense of the administration pro
gram. if ho is not stirred up, his
speech will lie a calm and dispassion
ate discussion, hut if the democrats
show a disposition to give him trou
ble, he intends to dwell at consider
able length upon the alleged doings
of certain "red-shitted brigades" with
which ids colleague, Senator Simmons,
is very familiar. Senator Lodge lias
been going deeply into the history of
the alleged massacre at Fort Pillow,
and when the debate becomes heated
a good deal will lie said by republi
cans about this for Senator Carmack’s
special benefit. Then there are to be
references to certain Indian masacros
with a view to reflecting upon Gen
eral Miles, whom the republicans wi.i
never forgive for forcing the publicity
of the Major Gardener report. jhe
republicans will utilize thpse as illus
trations that human nature is very
much the same and that the atroci
ties in tlie Philippine islands are not
the first that have occurred in Amer
ican ..lstory. They have been crying
out that democrats should Ik; silent
concerning the actions of Jakie Smith
and his army colleagues on tlie ground
that such a discussion reflected upon
thi! country. Their present purpose
is evidently to make the record as
black 'ah they can in tne hope of
minimizing the offenses committed in
the name of the army in the Philip
pine islands.
Now that the republicans have
been goaded on to debate the indica
tions are that the attention of the
senate will he devoted to this Philip
pine bill for a long time to come be
cause what the democrats all the time
have been after is publicity and they
are sure to meet the republicans more
than naif way.
Aguinaldo Discussed.
Aguinaldo, the Filipino leader, was
the special subject, of discussion in
the senate today. As soon as the Pnil
ippine government bill was taken up
Mr. Carmack, of Tennessee, resumed
his criticism of the Puilippine com
mittee, because of its refusal to call
Aguinaldo and other Filipinos as wit
nesses. He maintained that as re
flections by witnesses had been cast
upon the character of Aguinaldo, he
ought to be permitted to appear before
the committee to defend himself.
After the Capitol Saloonist.
Washington, May 2.—A warrant al
leging violation of the liquor law in

cense was issued today against Theo
L. Page, who conducts the restaurant
on the senate side of of the capitol.
It is alleged that the law has been
violated at the capitol since January
