irrespective of party affiliations and as good citizens, aie looking to us for much needed legislation. I'tnporiunt matters along the line of reform and economy In the administration of local and state government will l>e presented to us for solution. To the solution of such questions we owe it to ourselves and to the constituencies we represent to give our best thought and most earnest efforts. While our people are now’ enjoying a prosperity somewnat greater than that enjoyed in years just past, that must be no excuse for us not to exercise a careful and common-sense economy in the expenditure of the people’s money. The public institutions of the State will ask for appropriations at our hands, and in giving these appropriations we must exercise economy, not that economy, however, practiced by the miser or the person who denies himself those things within his means and consistent with an advanced civilization, but such an economy as that practiced by the average representative citizen of the State who believes in keeping his expenditure;? within his means and giving to his property and interests such a degree of care and protection as that exercised by progressive citizens. The unfortunate wards of the State should not be made the victims of a ’penny wise and pound foolish’ policy. To accomplish the end. namely, that the burden of taxation shall rest lightly upon the people our attention mut he directed especially to evils existing in the levying of the major portion of our taxes and not so much to trifling evils that may exist in the levying of a mere fraction of our taxes. “This body is the most numerous branch of our General Assembly. Under our Constitution the powers of our state government are divided Into three separate departments; the legislative, the executive, including the administrative, and the judicial. It is also provided in the Constitution that the functions of each one shall be kept separate and that no member of one department shall exercise functions of another, except as in the Constitution expressly provided. I hope that every member will appreciate the standing and power given to this body by the Constitution of the State and that every member will realize that for our every act the responsibility will rest with us and not elsewhere. “It so happens that this body is composed of a majority and a minority side, representative of two political parties. On both sides are several members who were in the House two years ago. To the minority I desire to say that its rights will be respected and that it will be the endeavor of the chair to govern this House by the rules of the House and not by mere arbitrary sway. Two years ago almost every proposition prevailed or failed on its merits and it was difficult at most times to distinguish that there was a majority and a minority side. I hope that the relations of the two sides will he harmonious and I have no reason to believe that they will be otherwise. The time which we may sit in session is limited and the importance of the matters we w’ill have to consider renders it imperatively necessary that there lie no needless waste of time. T hope that every member will feel that upon him rests the res{>onsibility of seeing that every minute of our time is used to the very best advantage of the State. Again asking your hearty eo-operation in the discharge of my duties and that you forbear with me when I err. 1 beg to say that I am now ready to take the oath of office.” THE FURTHER ORGANIZATION. As Mr. Littleton concluded Judge Wiley, •who was sitting behind the clerk’s desk in front of the speaker’s desk, arose and facing Mr. Littleton administered to him the oath as speaker. The first formal motion of the session was then made by Mr. Roose, of Elkhart, who secured the recognition from the speaker/ and moved to proceed with the election of other officers of the House. To Mr. Barlow, of Hendricks, belongs the pleasure of having seconded the first motion and the first vote of the House was unanimously in favor of the motion. For the place of principal clerk Fred Kimbley, the candidate of the Republicans, was placed in nomination by Mr. Baker, of Martin and Orange. The Democratic candidate. Milo D. llusselman, of De Kalb, was nominated by Mr. Brown, of the same county. Mr. Brown referred to the services his candidate rendered during the war with Spain, The vote stood 5S for Kimbley and 40 for Husselman. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Howard, nominated Mr. Charles De Haven for the position of assistant clerk on behalf of the Republicans, and Mr. Mull, of Rush, named Mr. Bruce Hite, who was the choice of the minority. By this time all the members had arrived and Mr. De Haven received 60 votes to Hite’s 40. For the position of principal doorkeeper the minority candidate, Frank Mannix, was nominated by Mr. Louttit, of Allen county. The majority candidate, Samuel Gibson, was nominated by Mr. Canada, of Randolph. The vote was Gibson 60, Mannix 40. The three successful candidates were called before the speaker’s desk and the oath of office administered by Judge Wiley. Mr. Littleton then requested t*hem to turn around and presented them to the members of the House. The first resolution was offered by Mr. Ross, of Delaware, and provided that a committee should be appointed to notify the Senate that the House was organized. In accordance with the resolution, Mr. Ross, Mr. Manifold and Mr. James were named as the committee. Mr. Canada offered a resolution providing for the appointment of a committee of two to wait on the Governor. acting with a like committee from the Senate. Mr. Canada and Mr. Hedgecock were named as this committee. While waiting for a report of this committee, Mr. Shldeler. of Grant, moved the appointment of a committee on rules and that the rules of the last House should be in force until such time as this committee should report. The committee named by the speaker consists of Messrs. Shideler, Roose, Blankenship, Noel and Downing. Mr. Roots offered a resolution instructing the clerk and assistant clerk to make such requisitions for printing and supplies from the public printer as they might desire. Through the motion of Mr. Glossbrenner, of this city, the resolution was so amended as to limit this power to the chief clerk only, or on bis written order, and the supplies are to be purchased only as needed. In the amended form the resolution was adopted. Mr. Marsh, of Jackson, who was not present when the oath of office was administered, appeared in the nail and the oath was administered to him by the speaker. A brief recess was taken while awaiting a report from the committees, but in a moment or twe Mr. Canada reported that the Governor would send in his message within tea or fifteen minutes. WHERE FORMALITIES FAILED. Then followed a chain of events which threw formality to the winds. The speaker suggested that a motion to appoint a committee to formally invite the Senate to meet with tho House and hear the message be made, and Mr. Whitcomb, of this county, promptly made the motion. Speaker Littleton announced as the committee Messrs. Whitcomb of Marion, Baker of Martin and Titus of Boone. No sooner had the committee been named, the members not having had time to leave their seats, than the tall figure of Lieutenant Governor Haggard was seen coming through the door, and the members of the Senate followed close after him. Mr. Littleton announced that as the members of the Senate had arrived the committee would be excused from serving. The senators were seated in the space between “the speaker's desk, and the members, while Lieutenant Governor Haggard mounted the steps to the speaker’s desk and took the gavel. The next attempt to be formal also signally failed. The president of the Senate called the Joint assemblage to order and Senator Hogate moved the appointment of a joint committee to notifv the Governor that both branches were in joint session and ready to hear his message. In the meantime C. E. Wilson, private secretary to Governor Mount, had entered the hull and was standing at the foot of the steps leading to tho speaker’s stand with the message In his hand. Tfie motion of Senator Hogate was put and carried, and Senator HogaL* was named as the member to "represent the Scrate. Lieutenant Governor Haggard turned to consult with Mr. Littleton as to the House member, and Mr. Wilson at once began some frantic gesticulations, and, under breath, called to those at the top of the steps. Before the House member was appointed he succeeded in attracting the attention of Mr. Haggard and Mr. Littleton, end Mr. Haggard announced that such a committee was unnecessary, as the private secretary of the Governor was already present with the message. Mr. Wilson fhen read a part of the message and skipped much of it. It was said to have been the first time in many years, if at all, that the Governor’s message was read by his private secretary. The reading of the message consumed twenty-five minutes, and after the applause had subsided the members of the F'-nate filed back to their own chamber. Mr. Canada moved that when an adjournment be taken it he until 10:30 Friday morning, and this was agreed to, Mr. Roots moved that 3/00 copies of the Governor’s message be printed, and this was agreed to. Mr. Noel presented a resolution instructing the principal clerk to prepare a calendar with full information as to each bill anti distribute It each Monday and Wednesday morning. Another resolution by Mr. Noel, which was also adopted, instructed the principal clerk to have two hundred copies of

all bills favorably reported printed and distributed to the members. On motion of Mr. Roose. the House, at 12:30, adjourned until this morning. THE SENATE’S SESSION. Discussion Over tomm It lee on Reformatory Institution*.. As early as 8:30 yesterday morning the crowds began to gather In the corridors of the Statehouse and crowd around the doors and into the galleries of the Senate chamber. Many of the more enterprising tried to brush past the doorkeeper, but few did better than look inside the room, except those introduced by senators. Several women were noticed scattered about the walls of the chamber, some of them conversing with senators in an animated fashion, while others merely looked on. Apparently there was very little consultation between the senators on important subjects, for most of them kept moving among their friends, introducing and being introduced to new senators. The deliberations of the Senate began at 10:12, when Lieutenant Governor Hagga.d rapped vigorously on the desk with his pencil and said: “The Senate will come to order.” After the invocation by Rev. Thomas J. Vfllers, of the First Baptist Church, the president announced the first business would be the swearing in of the new senators. Without further formality, all of them ranged themselves in front,of the secretary's desk and, with their hands raised aloft, took the oath of office, administered by Judge Monks, of the Supreme Court. As the organization had not been perfected, a short discussion was precipitated by Senator Early, of Vigo, as to who should call the roll. Suggestions were made as to the propriety of asking State Auditor Daily to do it or of calling on the secretary of the last session. It was finally decided that the retiring secretary should do it. and Charles R. Ltne took his former seat and polled the names, only two—Gill and Johnson—being absent. At the conclusion of the roll call Senator Early offered the usual formal resolution to effect an organization by the election of officers, and on its being adopted Senator Ball presented the name of Senator Newby for president pro tern., while Senator Inman placed Senator Shea in nomination. Senator Newbey was elected on a call of the roll by a strictly party vote. On the selection of a secretary, Senator Horner nominated William C. Converse, while Senator Gill suggested exSenator Workman. The former was elected by the samu vote as was cast for president pro tem. The rest of the officers were elected In the following order by the regular party vote: F. L. Wayman for assistant secretary over Harry Stone, and Clem Pelzer for doorkeeper over Casper Gardner. A resolution was offered by Senator Hawkins for the appointment of a committee of three to notify the Governor that the Senate had properly organized and awaited his presence. Senator Hogate moved that the newly-elected officers be sworn in and the oatlt was adn inistered by Lieutenant Governor Haggard. Senator Hubbell then introduced a resolution asking that the president appoint a special committee whose duty it shall be to look after the interests of the reformatory institutions of the State and examine into ail grievances presented from these institutions. At first it looked as if the resolution would pass without discussion, but before the vote had been announced Senator Shea moved to reconsider the subject, in order to secure a discussion as to the purposes of the new’ committee and the necessity of its appointment. Then for a short time considerable opposition was manifested and several senators expressed the opinion that the reformatories should bo left to the care of tho regular committee on benevolent institutions and reformatories. Another faction suggested the division of the work ot' the regular committee so as to enable it to confine itself to benevolent institutions. In the end Senator Shea’s motion w r as lost and the original resolution was carried. The president then named the committees on elections and mileage, as follows: Elections—Senators Gilbert, Joss, Hugg, Osborne, Brooks, Stroup and Inman. Rules —Lieutenant Governor Haggard and Senators Hubbell. Binkley, Osborne, Early, Stillwell and Heller. Senators Hawkins, Lambert and Drummond were chosen as the committee to notify the Governor of the convening of the Senate. During the interval of for a reply from the Governor Senator Wood announced that he had been commissioned by ex-Senator Ward H. Watson, of Jefferson county, to present a gavel to the Senate for use during the present session. Accompanying the gavel was a letter front Senator Watson giving a history of its different parts. The gavel proper was taken from the staircase in the home of the first state executive officer —ex-Governor Jennings—at Charlestown. An inlaid piece of light w’ood in one end w’as taken from a historic elm tree under which the first Indiana Legislature met, at Corydon; another piece of inlaid wood in the opposite contact end being from the first Methodist church of Indiana. The handle was made front a piece of the stand in the old courthouse at Charlestown, where Judge Charles Dewey, one of the first judges of the Supreme Court of Indiana, first began practicing law The light w’ood inlaid in the handle is from the elm tree at Corydon and the dark wood from the old Methodist church referred to. , ~ At 11:40 a committee from the House notified the Senate that the House had completed its organization and was ready for osiness. Five minutes later Senator t - kins reported that the joint committee from the Mouse and Senate had waited on the Governor and had been informed by him that he was ready to deliver his message to the Legislature. It was decided to follow the usual custom and join with the House in the hall of the latter body, where the message was read. At the conclusion of the reading tho Senate adjourned until 10 o'clock this morning. A DEWEY RESOLUTION. Before adjournment the following resolution was offered by Senator Nusbaum, of Auburn: “Whereas, The American people exult in the magnificent victories of its army end navy in the recent war with Spain, which have challenged the admiration of the world and elevated the standard of the country to the highest pinnacle; and, "Whereas, Esp’ecial credit is due to Admiral Dewey for not only destroying the Spanish fleet at Manila, but on account of his wise, courageous and diplomatic management of affairs since, which mark him as not only a great fighter, but a statesman of the broadest character; therefore, be it “Resolved bv the Senate, That it is the sense of this body that Admiral Dewey may not onlv be shown every consideration and given every promotion possible in the navy, including an extension of ten years in the time of his service, but that he may. by the people, be promoted to the position of President of the L'nited States.” The resolution was referred to the committee on federal relations. The question of the contest between Frank W Cregor. joint senator from Hancock. Madison and Rush, and Elmer E. Stoner was referred to the committee on elections.

THE MINOR APPOINTMENTS. I„ist of Those for the Senate and House. The Senate committee on patronage last evening completed Its work and it was no small task which was set out for it.

THE INDIANAPOLIS JOURNAL, FRIDAY, JANUARY fi, 1899.

W. Huron of Avon, Benjamin Hawthorne of Winchester, and H. D. Wood of Madison. Postmaster—Morris Fankboner, of Grant. Pages—E. M. Schofield. Lucius French, Hiram Carter and John Hubbard of Marion, and Ossa Edwards, of Lawrence. There were over two hundred applicants for positions in the House from Marion county alone. Tlie Legislative Extremes. There are all extremes among the members of the House. The tallest man and the one who towers above all others is J. M. Huff, of Washington, who stands not quite six feet five inches tall. The shortest man is probably Mr. C. M. Brown, of Auburn, who is about five feet five inches tall. Joseph Loree Cunningham is far and ahead the heaviest man and has the most flesh. His weight is 320 pounds. For the honor of thinnest man there are too many contestants to risk picking the winner. The youngest member is Milton F. McCarty, a student from Burlington, who was twenty-four last month, and the oldest member is probably Sasser Sullivan, of Petersburg, who is over seventy. Fred Kimbley, the new principal clerk of the Houses, is particularly proud of the W’ork he did at the last session when he veas engrossing clerk. He handled over two thousand roll calls and all bills and resolutions of the session w’ithout making one error. Mr. De Haven, the assistant clerk, Is now hoiding his first political office. He was a lawyer at Kokomo. Samuel Gibson, the principal doorkeeper, is not a novice in that position, as he was assistant doorkeeper two years ago. Mr. Kirkpatrick, of Kokomo, is conceded by all to have made the finest nominating speech yesterday. He merely named his man and the office and sat down. THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS. Next Tuesday Evening Is tlie Time Agreed Oil. The House will caucus this morning, immediately after adjournment, in Room 112 of the Statehouse. This caucus is called to take action on the report of the House portion of the joint caucus committee, which met yesterday morning to fix the time for tho senatorial caucus. The joint committee agreed on Tuesday evening next, at 8:30, but under the instructions given by the House caucus its committee will have to report back and have the date and t'me approved by the full House caucus. For that purpose the meeting has been called for this morning, but no objection to the time is anticipated. Senator Gilbert yesterday moved that the representatives of the metropolitan papers and of the Associated Press be admitted to the senatorial caucus. The motion caused much discussion. It was opposed by some, who said they would favor admitting representatives of tlie Republican papers, because, in a measure, the caucus was a family matter. The committee finally decided that it was not within its province to take action on the question, and that it should be determined by the joint caucus.

OUT FOR BEVERIDGE. Two Representatives Make Written Statements—Tlie Contest. The senatorial contest was yesterday largely lost sight of until evening by the organization of both branches of the Legislature. In the evening, however, it resumed to a large extent its former appearance, although the appointments to minor positions m the Senate and House took out of the Denison a largo part of the crowd which has been daily assembled there. So far as public appearances are concerned, the day was a Beveridge day, and the friends of the young candidate swarmed around the lobby and corridors. There was a vast amount of pulling and hauling last evening which centered around Representative Jesse Stevens, of Centerville, Wayne county. It was reported all through tlie hotel that the declaration by Mr. Stevens which appeared in an afternoon paper was unauthorized by him and that he repudiated it and declared lie was unpledged and uncommitted. This had the effect of bringing down on his head in great numbers the friends of the other candidates, and this was kept up until Mr. Stevens went to his room, about midnight, when he sent for tlse Journai representative and the following statement was dictated and authorized by Mr. Stevens as expressing his position; “After a careful investigation of the matter I have arrived at the conclusion that Albert J. Beveridge is the choice of a majority of the people of my county, and also of my district, and it was from this conclusion that I this afternoon made my public declaration for him for United States senator. I believe that he is best fitted and best qualified for that position, and I wish to reiterate the statement I made this afternoon and to say again that I am for .Mr. Beveridge for senator most heartily.” Mr. Stevens expressed the hope that this would relieve him from the importunities of friends of other candidates and prepared for bed. Mr. Beveridge had another devoted friend arrive during the evening in the person of Mr. Matt P. Davidson, of western Indiana, who served with Mr. Beveridge as a cowboy on the Western plains. Mr. Davidson said he wanted to see a "bull whacker elected senator.” Mr. Davidson presented to Mr. Beveridge a cowboy’s charm that is guaranteed to do away with all hoodoos and bring nothing but good luck to the owner thereof. The Beveridge ball was started rolling by the public announcement by Mr. Roots that he will support Mr. Beveridge. Last night Mr. Roots gave out the following signed statement: “In regard to my declaration for Mr. Beveridge. as announced in this evening’s paper, in which I stated that w’hile there is a friendly feeling in both Wayne and Fayette for Judge Taylor and Frank Posey, and recently some strength has developed in Wayne for Frank Hanly, I wish to more fully explain my reasons for declaring for Albert J. Beveridge for United States senator. First, while I entertain the highest respect for the other candidates in the field and without disparagement to any, yet 1 feel confident he has many admirers in Wayne county. As to Fayette county, to the best of my information, I believe my action will be indorsed by a large majority of the voters of Fayette county. Second, in addition to my action meeting with the approval of a large majority of my constituents. I have personally the highest regard for Mr. Beveridge’s ability. He is an able lawyer of unusual ability, and, if elected to the United States Senate, will be an honor to the State and forge his way to the front rank of that honorable body. Senator Cushman K. Davis, who has just been unanimously elected by the Legislature of Minnesota and who has come so prominently before the eye of the Nation because of his magnificent services in connection with the Paris commission, located in Minnesota with $l5O and has been twice honored with the highest position in the gift of his State. Mr. Beveridge started without so much as a dollar, earned his way through college and step by step, without any assistance save that of a determined will, has risen to a position among his fellows such as to command national attention as an orator, being highly honored in Boston, Philadelphia. Milwaukee and other cities and being constantly sought for in all campaigns because of his power to attract the attention of the voters and his ability to present the political issues of the day. In the profession of law he has by the mastery of lav/ succeeded in securing the indorsement of such eminent judges as J. H. Baker, of the Federal Court, and others of equal prominence and it does seem to me that such a man is a man of no medium ability, hut is a man who, if given the opportunity, will conduct himself in tho United States Senate with as much credit to himself and the State of Indiana as he has before the courts and the people of Indiana.” It must not be thought that the other candidates were inactive or that their friends were sitting down. There was a vast amount of hard work being done and the members who have not declared themselves are beginning to suffer. One of them declared last evening that had he foreseen what he would undergo he would never have been a candidate for the Legislature. The Posey stock yesterday went up several notches, as it lias been doing for two or three days past. Mr. Posey has been conducting a most dignified and clean campaign and since the contest began has not solicited the vote of a single member from a district in which one of the candidates resides. He has asked for second choice votes from these districts, but not for first choice, and on the other hand, he has urged the members from such districts to stand by their own candidate until it shall appear that he cannot lie elected. His clean campaign and dignified course is winning for him daily a host of friends and admirers and he is rapidly becoming a strong factor in the contest. Hanly’* Promise to Ronhnm. Special to the In<llana)>olls Journal. HARTFORD CITY, Ind., Jan. s—Representative John A. Bonham, of Blackford. Jay and Randolph counties, is in a dilemma over how to vote for l’nited States senator. Jay county is divided between Judge Taylor and Albert J. Beveridge, Randolph is for Taylor, Beveridge and Hanly and Blackford is for Major Steele. Personally Mr. Bonham is for Steele, but a promise of another term in the legislature in case he casts his vote for Hanly has caused him to meditate. To know who to support in the senatorial

race that w ill meet with the approved of the greatest number of his corstitutents and satisfy his ow’n ambition is a puzzle,. Beveridge Room in Portland. Sitecial to the Indianapolis Journal. PORTLAND, Ind., Jan. 3. —A Beveridge boom for l’nited States senator has been started in this city, and pressure :is being brought to bear on Jay county's representative, Joseph Powers, in that direction. Lite last night a telegram signed by 115 Republicans w’as sent to Mr. Powers requesting him to cast his vote for Mr. Beveridge. According to some reports. Powers has been classed in the Hanly column. MaraehaiietU View of Beveridge. Boston Journal. Albert J. Beveridge, who is the candidate of the younger Republican element for United States senator from Indiana, is a brilliant young lawyer and an orator of far more than local fame. He Is well known and much admired in Massachusetts, where he made a remarkable impression by an eloquent address before the Middlesex Club at its Grant dinner last April. in this speech Mr. Beveridge forecasted with what is now r recognized as marvelous accuracy the policy of President McKinley during and after the war with Spain. His numerous friends in Massachusetts are disposed to congratulate Indiana as well as Mr. Beveridge himself if he is chosen to the senatorsliip. TEXT OF PACT. f Concluded from First Page,! of the commission set these out with a remarkable degree of accuracy, considering the secrecy which was supposed to overhang the proceedings. There is also included all the correspondence that passed between the French embassy here and the State Department which led up to the signature of the protocol, but the interesting feature, namely, the effort of the Spanish minister of foreign affairs to withdraw the sovereignty of the Philippines trom question, has already been published, unofficially. Included in this correspondence is a letter from ML Thiebaut. the French charge, protesting against the continuance of the operations of tlie insurgents in the Philippines, which he assumed was with the knowledge and consent of the American commanders, and suggesting that the Spanish troops captured at Manila be allowed to fight the Filipinos. To this Mr. Moore replied, on Sept. 5. that, upon investigation, he had found that most of the statements w’ere groundless. There was a sort of a suggestion from the first charge to the effect that the families of the Spanish officers who were captured at Guam were suffering. There is included all of the correspondence that.passed between the Department of State and the United States consuls at Manila, Hong-Kong and Singapore relative to the Philippines. Consul Williams, at Manila, before the actual outbreak of the war, reported a series of most horrible outrages by the. Spaniards upon the Filipinos. He declares that 5 per cent, of the latter are loyal to Spain. He complains of being surrounded by spies everywhere, saying that even in his consular office he is not safe from them. Consul Wildman, at Hong-Kong, on Nov. 3, telegraphed that General Agoncillo was coming to Washington. He said: “He hffs power to make treaties with foreign governments, and proposed an offensive and defensive alliance with the United States.” Agoncillo asked for arms to aid the rebellion. .Acting Secretary C'ridlor, Dec. 15, replied, telling Wildman to advise Agoncillo that the United States does not negotiate treaties, and it is not possible to forward arms. "You should not encourage any tendency on the part of Agoncillo to communicate with the department.” A long letter of tho date of July 18 from Consul Wildman defends Agoncillo as a man who has been systematically blackened. Says he: “According to his own statement, he has been approached by Spain and Germany, and has tempting offers from the Catholic Church.” April 28 Consul Pratt telegraphed from Singapore: “Aguinaldo gone at my instance to Hong-Kong to arrange with Dewey to cooperate with insurgents at Manila.” June 20. Secretary Day telegraphed Pratt, among other things: “Avoid any negotiations with Philippine insurgents.” Pratt replied that he had no intention of negotiating. and that Dewey desired Aguinaldo to come. Secretary Day again admonished Pratt to be cautious to create no impression that might embarrass the government and lead to misunderstanding in its future action. July 2 Pratt reported to the department that the Sultan of the Sulu islands was negotiating at Singapore for the annexation of his group to British Borneo, which, he said, should be watched. All of the statements made by General Merritt before the American commission at Paris appear in the documents. In substance he said the insurgents would fight if the attempt was made to surrender Luzon to Spain. Spain could not subdue the islands unaided. Asked whether the insurgents were capable of government he replied that it would take time: they would have to be educated to it. Senator Frye asked if the natives would enlist under the American tlag and if Aguinaldo could be given a command. He replied in the affirmative to both questions. Further, he said that Major Bell’s report showed that the insurgents had 39,500 stands of arms. Aguinaldo had $300,000 in bank in Hong-Kong and $220,000 in public funds in Bacolor. Major Bell expressed the opinion that if the United States should govern the islands for a year Aguinaldo would have no army left. General Greene's estimate is also produced. He said there were 13.009 Spanish prisoners in the Philippines, including 400 officers, with 22.000 arms and 22,000,009 rounds of ammunition. He described Aguinaldo’s character and said much tact would he required in dealing with Aguinaldc. In his opinion that chieftain did not command the support of a large body of Filipinos. Then it must be remembered that the insurgents were all Tagalos, only one of the thirty races in the Philippines. At the time he spoke none of the two million Visayas a people of equal abilities, had taken any part. He was asked what chance there would be for native government, to which he replied: “No native government can maintain itself without the active support of a strong foreign government. It is difficult to see how any foreign government, can give this protection without taking such an active part in the management of affairs as is practically equivalent to its own name.” There is a vast amount of other matter included in the papers, extracts from newspapers, long special reports on the mineral and other resources of the islands, historical treaties, statistical statements of the values of imports and exports and, in fact they comprise an encyclopedia of the Philippine islands.

An “Open Door” Policy. WASHINGTON, Jan. s.—Senator Frye, of tho American Peace Commission, said in the Senate committee on commerce to-day that it was the understanding of the American commissioners that an absolute open-door policy was to he observed by the government of the United States with reference to the trade in the Philippine islands, and that other countries were to be given the same facilities as tlie United States in that trade. The question came up in connection with the informal discussion of the coast trade policy of this country and its extension to the Philippines. Senator Frye also said that the policy of excluding textile fabrics would not, according to his understanding, be applied as in this country. INJUNCTION VACATED.

Attempted to Leave San Francisco Harbor in Defiance of Law. SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 5.-The revenue cutter Richard Rush had an exciting experience to-day.

Leopold Cohn fulls the President’s Attention to Outrages on Je*. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—The alleged antiSemitic prejudice existing in this country and displayed in a steadily Increasing list of acts of violence toward the Jews in the poorer quarters of Alanhattan and Brooklyn was made the subject of a lengthy letter sent on New Year’s day to President McKinley by Leopold Cohn, of Brooklyn. The writer was once a Jewish rabbi, but was converted to the Christian belief several years ago in this city and joined the Baptist Church. He is now conducting missionary work among the people of his race and has charge of the interests of three missions. Air. Cohn in his communication to the President states that in the prosecution of his missionary work he has had continually thrust upon his notice the ever-increasing hatred displayed in this city toward the Jew until he has found it his imperative duty to sound a note of warning. The letter continues: “Peaceful Jews walking the streets of this city are habitually called by opprobrious: epithets or arc loudly hooted and insulted, as though they were mountebanks or criminals, and when the threatening shout will not attract response then the throwing of mud and stones is resorted to, and 1 repeat not in an isolated instance but constantly as the weeks pass and as a result of which many have been injured, sometimes seriously. When a street car passes through the Jewish quarter hooting, hissing and calling of names from its platforms are customary incidents, and witnin these public cars* i have seen Jews pulled by the beard and pushed from one man to another and back again like a football, and in which horse play the conductors themselves have participated, and in some cases which I am ready to prove have crippled their victims for life. A Jew with a push cart is everywhere esteemed as a legitimate object to be mobbed and robbed. On one occasion I saw a Jewish peddler with horse and wagon set upon by a mob of large boys with stones, the man trying to protect himself by drawing his coat over his head. On running to his defense I was myself attacked. On appealing to a group ot citizens and admitting upon their questioning that the victim was a Jew they laughed boisterously, adding, with evident sneer, that 1 was myself of the same despised race, and upon then appealing to a policeman he coolly replied very deliberately that the affair was not on his beat. In the meantime, with his head bleeding, the peddler was driven from his wagon and the wagon looted and overturned. Another case similar, except that the wares were scattered about the street, though not stolen, occurred in front of the boys’ high school, where young gentlemen are prepared, for college at public expense largely paid from Jewish taxes. The aggressors were the students, and the teachers viewed the scene from, the windows.”

Statement that Shows Efforts of Prosperity on Transportation Companies. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Nearly one-half of the railroads in the hands of receivers at the beginning of 1898 were taken from the courts during the year, according to the Railroad Gazette. On Jan. 1, P9S, there were 120 companies in the hands of receivers, owning 12,798 miles, or 7 per cent, of the entire mileage of the country, and operating 16,199 miles, or 9 per cent, of the entire mileage. The high-water mark of receiverships was reached in April, 1894, when there were 210 roads, embracing 36,619 miles, or 20 per cent, of the entire mileage of the country in the hands of receivers. On Jan. 1, 1596, there were some 31,000, or 17 per cent, of the mileage, in the hands of receivers. Duiing the year 1898 of these 120 roads not less than forty-nine, owning 6,050 miles, and operating 6,639 miles, have had their receiverships closed. In addition there have been added eighteen roads during the year, owning 1,132 miles, and operating 1,235 miles. The net result is that on Jan. 1, 1899, there were eighty-nine roads in the‘hands of ti e courts, owning 7,880 miles and operating 10,795 miles. The mileage owned has dropped to about 4 1-3 per cent, and the mileage operated to about 6 per cent, of the entire mileage cf the country. The aggregate cap ital stock and funded debt under the court® at the beginning of 1898 was $818,286,677, or about one-thirteenth of the entire railroad stock and bonds of the country. At the end of the year the net aggregate of securities in the hands of the courts was $568,261,144, or only one-twentieth of the railroad values. With the Baltimore & Ohio operating over 2,000 miles; the CUpe Fear & Yadkin Valley, 333 miles; the Columbus, Hocking Valley & Toledo, 323 miles, and other roads soon to be taken from the courts, it is not improbable that the end of this coming year will see the railroad mileage in the hands of receivers as low as it has ever been in the history of the country. Prior to 1892 the lowest percentage was a trifle over 4 per cent., which is about the proportion that now prevails. The I)t* Hairn'i* Held for Trial.

CORNISH’S STATEMENT. Hog’ the Fatal Ilnse Was Ail in in isle red to Mrs. Adams. NEW YORK, Jan. s.—Up to a late hour to-night the expected arrest in the Adams poisoning ease had not been made.

Adams had brought me one glass, in which I put the powder, and then she got another glass to get the required half goblet of water. 1 stirred it repeatedly three or four timi sand she took it and drank it. Mrs. Adams must have left above an inch of the mixture in the glass, and as soon aa she had swallowed it made some such remark as ‘Aly, how bitter that is.’ Then she immediately started to walk toward the kitchen. When she took the glass to drink I had reached for a paper which was on the table beside me and when she made that remark and put the glass down, I said something like ‘Why, that’s all right.’ and I took the glass and tasted the mixture myself, taking a good-sized swallow. There was some delay in getting a doctor. When he arrived lie did what he could for Mis. Adams, but in a short time she was dead. I was severely sick from Wednesday night until Thursday noon and was confined to my bed by the doctor’s orders until Friday morning. I lost twelve pounds in weight during that time and I understood that my physicians think that the amount of running around that I did was what saved me from the fatal effect of the poison.” ALLEGED CONSPIRACY.
