Tie PmlitKt Apprised of the Not* Toward* Peace and Scad* a Coavratalatorr Dlapatoh—Col. Fanaton, It la Aaaerted. Will Get the Brlaadier’a Star. Washington, April 29.—The end of the Filipino insurrection is in sight in the opinion of army and navy of* ficials. A telegram from Gen. Otis yesterday announced that Aguinaldo had taken what he regarded as the first step toward surrendering, namely, requesting a cessation of hostilities.

Brlgkt Prospects of Pesos. Secretary Alger said as the depart* ment closed that while it could not be said that peace was assured, he regarded the prospects as of the brightest and felt confident that the end of the j insurrection was near. To his mind there wouldi be a repetition of the negotiations which were had before Santiago. The secretary left Washington last night for a ten days’ trip in the west, and it gave him great satisfaction to leave affairs in such a promising i shape. Praising; the Volunteer*. Everybody is praising the volunteers, a marked change in the sentiment expressed a few days ago when it was understood that the same men were pleading to be brought home. ( Col. Funston came in for the. most commendation, even the regular officers taking note with admiration of the fact that -his achievements were all strictly within the line of the plans laid down for him by his superior officer, Gen. Wheaton. He is to be made brigadier general of volunteers. Did More Than Their Duty. Gen, Corbin said that every volunteer who participated in the fighting in the Philippines since peace was declared should have a medal of honor. By the terms of their enlistments they were entitled to withdraw from the "service, but they had remained voluntarily, performing more than was required of them, which was more than the ordinary duty of a soldier. It is expected that to-day there will be further negotiations with the insurgent representatives. Otl* Mnat Exerelie Caro.

While the hope is expressed that our J commission will not hold out terms so severe as to lead to a renewal of the fighting or the withdrawal of the insurgents to another stronghold further uoith, it is realized that Otis must ex- j eicise care to make sure that they do not in bad faith take advantage of the opportunity afforded by a suspension of hostilities to secure whatever of benefit to themselves may come from the rapidly approaching rainy season. Gen. Otis’ Dispatch. • The text of Gen. Otis’ dispatch follows: ~ Manila, April 2S.—Adjutant General, Washington: After taking Calumpit MacArthur’s division crossed the liio Grande river in the faee.of great obstacles, driving the concentrated forces ofjjthe enemy back on the railroad two miles. MacArthur reporta that the passage of the river was a remarkable military achievement, the success qf which was due to=athe dai> ing, skill and determination? of Col. Funston, under the discriminating control of Gen. Wheaton. Casualties slight; number not ascertained. Filipino Admiration. This morning the chief of staff from the commanding general of insurgent forces entered our lines and expressed admiration for the wonderful feat of the American army in forcing the passage of the river, which was thought j impossible. The staff officer reports that the insurgent commanding general has received from the insurgent government directions to suspend hostilities pending negotiations for the termination of the war. The staff officer, with party, is now en route ta Manila, and will soon arrive. Lawton's forces are well in hand in the vicinity of Angat, east of Calumpit, where he is waiting supplies to be sent tomorrow. Yesterday morning a force of 1,500 insurgents attacked the troops at Taguig, but were driven back by the Washington regiment- Our loss was two killed and 12 wounded. : ■ ■ otis. TliePresideat Sends Congratulation*. The dispatch was immediately transmitted to the president at Philadelphia, who replied as follows: “To Otis, Manila: Your message announcing the achievements of MacArthur’s division and the proposal by the insurgents of suspension of hostilities, most gratifying. Convey to officers and men heartfelt congratulations and gratitude for theii signal gallantry and triumph. “WILLIAM McKINLEY.” London Press on the Prospect. London, April 29.—All the morning papers contained editorials congratulating the United States upon the prospect of peace in the Philippines, and complimenting the bravery and endurance of the American troops, which have produced the much-desired result. All insist that the United States government can not treat with the rebel government. All approve the demand of Gen. Otis for an unconditional surrender, and urge that he should be given full powers, and not be hampered

STICKING TO ALGER. tB Spit* of Republican RrmoBitrHM the Beef Combine Holds OB. The New York Tribune is not only the foremost republican paper in the United States, but it is moreover a particularly zealous champion of the McKinley administration. It was an original McKinlcyite in the ante-con-vention days when Thomas C. Platt and the machine in this state were assailing McKinley with every form of vitu peration. The editor of the Tribun e, Mr. Wbitelaw Keid, has been twice designated by the president to confidential and important duties, showin g the relations of mutual confidence which exist. Nevertheless, the Tribune has editorially done some plain talking about the beef scandal, and the Tribune’s Washington correspondent

says: "It Is & bad business.. although republicans are perfectly confident of the president’s rectitude of purpose. But. whether Justly or unjustly, it is undeniable that many of the most clear-headed republicans of the capital feel that Secretary Alger Is largely responsible for the situation created by this beef Investigation. It is felt by these party men that through Gen. Alger’s Influence, impelled by those in the department who controlled him, the president in some sort has made himself the champion of Eagan by the Ill-considered mitigation of as righteous a sentence as ever was delivered by a court, rendering the whole proceeding little better than a farce. “Many practieal politicians felt, and of late have often expressed the conviction that the president should let go of Secretary Alger. Some republicans no doubt admire the president for so doggedly upholding his secretary under fire, but they are not numerous. Few prominent republicans are found now who think he is acting wisely in doing so. A mere individual is nothing, the party is everything, in the estimation of these men. Gen. Alger’s protracted retention in office, now of questionable policy in any event, and so obviously detrimental to the president’s per-5 eon&l interests, is becoming & subject of deep speculative wonder everywhere and to everybody. As the Tribune corresponds^ very justly says, “the beef inquisition bas become a most extraordinary affair, and the light thrown on the methods of the war department bureaucracy by recent unexpected developments is a matter of grave concern to the country.” But the question arises, is it not already too late for the president to unload? He has sentenced Eagan to a vacation on full pay; he has appointed a court of inquiry, composed of Gen. Miles’ enemies, to investigate Miles’ grave charges; he has rewarded the friends of Alger and’Algorism, and, so far as he dares, will undoubtedly punish Gen. Miles, the common soldiers’ friend. Alger has openly announced that he will not go unless he is kicked out. To kick him out would involve the greatest publicity to all these various scandals. The administration seems to be between Scylla and Charybdis. It might get rid of Alger; but of its own complicity with and support for Algerian, it cannot get rid.—Albany Argus. REED IN THE WAY. The Republican Cur as an Obstacle to National Prog“Speaker Reed is no fool,” Mr. Hanna is quoted as saying, when asked concerning the reported determination of the man from Maine to antagonize the administration.

There is a possibility that the Ohio senator overrates the stuffed czar’s astuteness;, Mr. Reed has been troubled with political strabismus ever since the national convention that nominated McKinley, and cannot see much farther than the pug nose on his face. Overfeeding is at all times disadvantageous; and Mr. Reed has fed with such gustatory ardor upon his own greatness and ambition, that his intellectual indigestion is undergoing a disorder of the most aggravated type. His system generates spleen like a weasel’s, and yellow jaundice has had such an effect on his appearance that he has mistaken himself for a worshipful Chinese Joss. As Mr. Reed stood before the house during the last hours before congress adjourned, he felt proud of himself, and his nostrils distended with the pantings of victory; he had defeated the Nicaragua canal bill; he had defeated the bill for promotions in the navy; he had been instrumental in making a scandal of the civil service laws and the census; in various ways, so far as he dared in the face of public opinion, he had frustrated the poliey of the president, and had sprouted | quills of displeasure and criticism at i every measure like a fretful porcuI pine. Reed is a big block in the way of national progress. He is a barnacle on” the ship of state. Like John Sherman, but without as much reason, fee is embittered by disappointment, and his spirit, crying “HavocI” ranges for revenge like Ate, vcome hot from hell.” After the lesson of the Oregon, the killing of the canal bill and the substitution of a measure but little if any better than the one passed by the Fif-ty-fourth eongress was noti ng less than a base betrayal of the people’s interests, and this for the benefit of the grimy-handed agents of the Panama canal scheme, who brought shame and reproach to France as they will bring disgrace to this eountry if given the chance. The perpetuation of the Samp-son-Sehley controversy, itself one of the most regrettable conseqi enees of the war, thus giving new foxee to the qnestion as an element of disc >rd in the ! navy, was an example of pe :ty pettifogging unworthy of a b okwoods court of justice. These are but samples of Reed Ids works.—Kansas City Independent. -Mr. McKinley has told It is friends he intends to keep out of the speakership contest and that the « will be dministration candidate. The peoId only ask one thing more of matter, and that is that he that there is no Has

TRUSTS AHJ> PROTECTION. A Blck Tariff Akrocalta th« «algr Law Tkat Caua Dawi Monopolies. $ TVben Attorney. General Grif rub defends his inaction with regard t« rusts on the ground that there is no L 1 * that Is 's trong enough to curb ther t it is evident that nothing will be c ie by the attorney general to relieve t: s people of trust oppression. But there is another law besic t s that written in the statutes that ca i reach the trusts, and. that is the law i f supply and demand. „ Protection abrogates this h ' r because it shuts off the supply a?, commodities from abroad and lea i is the demand without a competitive i i pply. By removing this protection as the New York Journal points out, c napetition could be revived and the ru ;of the trusts be broken. Concerning this matter, the ournal pertinently asks: “Why should we give’ the 000,000

borax trust the power to tax At terican consumers five cents a pound or: borax? “Could not the $30,000,090 Kni Goods company and the $50,000,000 pri: it cloth pool get along without duties o' 50 per cent, and upward on the thin js that people must wear? . “Would it not be possible for the United States Cast Iron * Pipe and Foundry company, capital $30,000,000, to make a living without nine dollars a ton protection? “Is the $30,000,000 National Lead company in dire need of the proceeds of a tax of iy3 cents a pound on lead? “Could not the $45,000,000 western lumber pool destroy our forests fast' enough without the stimulus of a duty of two dollars per 1,000 feet on pine boards? “Do the consumers of sugar feel morally bound to pay tariff taxes of $20,000,000 a year to the sugar trust and its allies, with their capital of $123,000,000? “Are the various steel trusts, total capitalization $367,650,600, so poor that they must have outdoor relief in the form of duties of from $6.72 per ton upward on steel and its products? “Is not the $50,000,000 American Tin Plate company a sufficiently robust infant by this time to be able to dispense with its pap of 1% cents a pound on tin plates?** These are significant questions, and if the administration wants to help the people it can do so b, putting all articles controlled by trusts on the free list. This would not require a long series of suits at law; by one simple amendment to the Dinglev bill the good work would be accomplished. If those republicans are sincere who are arguing against trusts, they will urge the administration to make a move in the direction indicated.—Chicago Democrat. HANNAHS DECREE. The Republican Boss Is Busy Over a Successor to Csnr Reed.

Ko one conversant with the facts of recent political history will doubt that Hanna will be consulted concerning the speakership of the Fifty-sixth congress. His say-so is likely to be an important factor , in determining who shall be chosen to fill the place made vacant by the retirement of Mr. Reed. The report that Hanna has decreed that the speaker of the next house shall be a man favorable to the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill is not calculated to excite surprise. It is entirely consistent with Hanna's record and affiliations. Hanna’s relation to the federal government is mainly of a business kind. He did not purchase a seat in the senate for the sole purpose of being near the president so that he might counsel him how to paddle his canoe safely through the shoals and quicksands of practical politics. Marcus, the Axgrinder, is not serving as the Sejanus of the administration purely for diversion ox* for the purpose of preserving his health. He has laid his services and talents upon the altar of his country, but, all the same, he intends to reward himself for his sacrificial offering by appropriating some of the golden candlesticks and jeweled ornaments. " Mark is a shipowner, and he has shipowning friends, the members of the Standard Oil trust among them. To remunerate them and him he has framed a measure known as the Hanna-Payne subsidy bill, whose mission is to legislate $400,000,000 out of the pockets of the people of the United States when congress meets. The speaker will be an important influence in engineering this scheme of robbery through the house. Mr. Hanna may be depended on to exert all his resources to secure for the place an individual pliant to his plans.—St. Louis Republic. i OPINIONS AND POINTERS. --It is rumored that Alger may be sent as minister to France. His style of statesmanship would be better fitted for the Spanish court.—Denver Post. -Lawyer Thomas B. Reed will get. an income variously estimated at $50,000 or $100,000 a year, with no embalmed beef to worry him.—Albany Argus. -Alger is upheld by Mr. McKinley in hanging on to Ms cabinet portfolio. That’s right—the president knows that Alger bought it and paid good money for it.—St. Louis Republic. -President McKinley is considering how far the anti-imperialists can go without being guilty of treason. It has never occurred to him that nonenforcement of anti-trust laws is worth Ms' consideration.—Chicago Democrat. -Brother John Wanamaker tMnks the acquittal of Brother Matt Quay is a disappointment to every lover of justice and every friend of good government.
