SmdenSet&L I Philippine Question Rests on Wording of the Treaty. SENATOR FAULKNER'S VIEW lie Would raior Making; an Iuilt Iiemlent Nation of the Architiel bc II MIkIU He Ilelil Responsible for Hit- ffi(l,000,000 mid l'ei Imps aii Intlriunits Iff Wants tn Re tire Prom the emite. Interrupting a deliberate contemplation of bis, lazj rings of smoke, curling up ward from a freshly lighted cigar, him self burled comfortably In the depths of an easy chair of large dimensions. Sena tor Faulkner of West Virginia agreed with an intervener last night that he might talk Jut a little about the past, saj nothing at all about the pres at, and delier his views upon the future, rcla tie to the topics which now engage the public mind The Senator opened a vein of thought with the opinion that the treaty of peace with Spain may not settle the Philippine problem, and that even after the Feace Commission has finished its work In Paris the Disposition of these Islands may et remain a perplexing and open question. "That all depends" aid he, "upon the wording of the treaty, which may provide in explicit terms that the Philippines are to become a. part of the territory of the United States, or simply relieve Spain of her sovereignty in the Islands. 3Iy views on expansion are well known. I do not believe we need the. Islands. "But, as I have remarked, if the treaty Is so worded that Spain agrees to surren der sovereignty over and all claims to the Philippines, the problem Is by no means settled. Such a treaty could, and In all probabllitj would, bo ratified by the Sen ate, without committing this country to anj definite policy in the Eat, which means, indirectl, our European policy, for what effects that part of the East with which we are now concerned, affects Europe. "After having ratified such a treaty. and thus restoring a state of peace, the Philippine problem could be disposed of as we see flt It would be my Idea to establish in thee inlands an independent form -ol government, much the same as we propose to Inauguate In Cuba. Hav ing done this, we might dismiss the vex ing problem and withdraw from the East, but not without indemnlu. "The proposltion.-as we understand It now, I-for this cduntrj to pay Spain J20, OGu.000. either for the Philippines or for her relinquishment of sovereignty over them, wli'ch of the two Is not jet clear. There Is no objection to paying this monev to Spain. In return for her quit ting all claims to the Philippines, and In the event that this country establishes an Independent government In the Islands the I. rlted States can hold the govern ment of Its creation responsible for the tM.000,000, and as much more, perhaps, as mav be considered reasonable indem nitv for our trouble and the expend to which we have been put in freeing the Archipelago un? making a nation of It. "I think that when the war spirit has died out a year from now, we will say the American peoive will take another view of this Philippine mitter, and be less eager to acquire possession of a countrj vhlch can never be American ized, It i- imposlb'e to Americanize a tropical country" Referring to Cuba, the senator ex pressed the opinion that In less than ten j ears the Pearl of the Antilles will ask to be annexed to the United States. He Imitation Is the tlncerest flatter'. I find persons advertlslug In my vein, but concealing their Identity. - This won't do. If ou take out life Insurance ou want to be as certain about the com pany and the -policy as ou would about a bank jou deposited In. More assured for you -are here to look after jour rooneyj but not here to collect jour Life Insurance. So, while you examine all plans and propositions, come to me and consult be fore ou act. I can put jou in any com pany and at the best rates. T. D. HADAWAY, 519 Nth SL &z&?Z222Z ;ivV FIGHTING IT OUT. declined to say whether ho liked anneva tion or not. "I sec. clearlv," continued the senator, "that the Republicans are averse to an extra session, and will bring to bear all pressure at their command to prevent ono belnrr called. The pnrtj hopes that currency legislation call be pushed ever the short "sesilon.and also over the first session of the next Congress, sires, with out an extra session of this Congress n vast amount of important business must be left untouched It Is hored, therefore, that the opening session of the next Con gress will be s-.o much occupied with pressing legislation that the currency and other trouble-breeding Issues can be dodged Personall, I do not believe there will be an extra session. "I think the treati with Spain will be disposed of by this Congress, and 1 ke wise the treatv with Great Britain, vvh c' the Canadian-American Joint High Com mission Is now trjing to frame, but I believe the disposition of the Phil pj'ns problem will be postponed. It may be necessary to call an extra session of the Senate aor the purpose of ratifvlng the two treaties to which I "have referred" The senator asked to be excused frcm j discussing his own future, so far as h s return to the Senate was concerned. He Is not sanguine about the Democratic joint ballot majority In the West Vir ginia legislature, and is Inclined to the belief that the Republicans have a little the best of it. "I want to get out of the Senate," said he. "In fact, as far back as 1S91 I ex pressed my Intention to retire from Con gress, but the-necessltles of my party and a desire to leave it in as good condition as I found it In mj State, Influenced me to remain In political life and trj to carry "West Virginia against the Republicans. "'There are contingencies which may confront the Democrats in my State and force me, out of lojalty to the party, to be a candidate to succeed mvself In the Senate. When the time is ripe I will talk f reels, but discussion of the matter is premature at this time." CONVERTED TO EXPANSION. Representative Henderson Would Accent the Ilcneuts of War. Since the conclusion of the war Repre sentative Henderson, of Iowa, sajs bis views on expansion have undergone a change, and he is now ready to co-operate In the plans of the Administration on this question. "What my views on the subject of ex pansion were original! It Is hardl nee s sary to discuss now. The war, however, with Its victories, has forced questlsns upon us which we will have to meet. I will not be among the radical expansion ists, but at the same time, I do not want to be considered as one that will seek-to avoid the responsibilities which, unex pected and unforeseen, arc now upon us "I am not famlllir with this open door question, but I instinctively believe that If we are going to get benefits from new territory we had better have these b:ne nts, and not peddle them out until they cease to be benefits." Being asked in regard to the possibl 1 Ues of an extra session. Col Henderson said: "I am opposed to an extra session unless It can be demonstrated that the Republicans and sound money Demo;rats can, during the Winter, agree upon some form of financial legislation wh ch will warrant calling one. Of course, no one can tell how soon legislation may be pressed upon us because of our new re sponsibilities, but viewed from the pres ent hour nothing In that dlrcctlpn would seem to inakc it necessary to have an extra session. On the cantrar , time may be most valuable In order that by in creasing our information about the peoplo who wjll become connected with Ameri can destln, we ma be better equipped for legislation when it becomes ncc;ssary. "I am in favor of construe. ing the Nicaragua Canal provided a bstter rcuta cannot be had, and providing further, that this Government can first secuie from Nicaragua suflicient rights and privileges to guard the canal when It 's completed. While I am not as well post ed on this general subject as I ought to be, perhaps, and would like to be, my feeling Is that when the canal 13 tullt it should be owned by tl o United SiateJ and controlled by the Urlted States, so that every interest connected with It can be thoroughly guarded. "As to Increasing the regular army I am against It, except to a point abso ute ly necessary for our new co d Hon Whatever is necessary for that pu pole, I am for, but I am not in favor of ex pending the money of the reop e for armies .and navies bevond what is clearly pointed out as necegsarv to the welfare of the country." SITUATION IN INDIANA. Interesting- FlltUt Promised Over feenntur Turple's Successor. The senatorial situation in Indiana Is attracting considerable attention. The legislature of that 'State having been made Republican by the last election. Sen ator Turpie, whoso term expires on the 3d of March next, will jleld his seat to the majority. No less than six candidates for the Sen ate have lev eloped In Indiana, and among the more prominent o'f these are Albert J. Bevcrldge, of Indianapolis; Judge R. S. Talor, of Fort Wayne, and J. V. Hanle, of Laraette, who represented the Tenth district In the rift -fourth Congress, It is predicted that the fight will be be tween Judge Taj lor and Mr. Beveridge, the latter of whom Is chiefly famed for his oratorical abilities. Ho was for many ears known as the "boy orator" and has been Identified with several cam paigns Mr. Beveridge is classed among the ounger and more spirited politicians of Indiana, but Judge Taylor will be sup ported by the old conservative element, and the light between these two promises to be exceedinglj interesting There are still other candidates who have not et announced themselves, but it is not thought that any of them will develop enough strength to offer serlon3 opposition to either Judge Taj lor or Mr. Hev erldge POWER OF THE MIDDLE WEST. Elttht States Will ,"VcnrI Control the House Mnjorlts. Jesse Overstreet, of Indianapolis, comes back to Congress duly Impressed with the importance of the Republican party In the middle West. After engaging himself with piper and pencil for a few minutes last night, he figured it out in. thls.waj: "Eight States, in the middle West In diana, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas. Ohio, Mich igan, Minnesota and Wisconsin will send eights -six Republican representatives to Congress next car, which lacks but seven of being a majority on" the Repub lican side of the House, or. In other words, all of the other States in the Union have elected only seven more Re publicans to Congress than these eight. That Is quite a remarkable showing, and emphasizes the fact that what the mid dle "West wants from the nex' -Congress It will get. Thnt section of the country adjacent to the Ohio River and"the upper Mississippi will control the majority side of the House." Mr. Overstreet Is a member of the Na tional Republican Congressional Commit tee, andyprldes himself upon the number of his forecasts which have been proven. Speaking now, without undue braggado cio, he thinks silver is dead, and Indi ana will agree that'this country hold the Philippines because there is nothing else to do with them. A WHITE HOUSE CONFERENCE. n Hour's Discussion of the Pnnnma Canal Mutter. Secretary Hay and Attorney General Griggs called at the White House last night and spent an hour with the Pres ident. Among the matters discussed was the Panama Canal proposition, which was submitted to Mr. Hay jesterday at the State Df partment b Director General Maurice Hutln and Messrs. 'Ba ard and Cromwell, representing the French rjom pagne Nouv elle du Canal de Panama. It Is stated that the matter will,, be further discussed at the Cabinet meeting today. A VERMONT REPUBLICAN. Representative Powers Would Re pudiate the Philippines. '" Judge H. Henry Powers, who has rep resented the First dUtrict of his State for four1 terms of Congress as a Republican, It opposed to the expansion pollcj. "There is every rcaspnvwui,we should not take the Philippine Islands," said the Judge, "but that question seems to be releg-ited to the rear by the, fact that we have taken them. I do notcare, to antagonize the Administration, and shall not make an active opposition to, its policy." , Judge Powers thought that it was non sense to pa Spain $20,000000 for, the Isl ands after we had taken" them, but re marked that he supposei.it jwas a Eort of balm to the Spaniards' wounded vanity.

PECULIAR POISONS. GOEUATED IV THE IIUMVN BODY. Tlte Ilesnlt ot .Imperfect DlKcstlou of Food, Every living tiling, plant or animal, contains within itself the germs of cer tain deca and death. In the human body these germs of ills case and death (called by scientists Ptomaines), are usually the result of im perfect digestion of food; the result of In digestion or dspep3ia. The stomach, from abuse, weakness does not promptly and thoroughly digest the food. The result Is a heavy, sodden mass which ferments (the first process of decay) poisoning the blood, making It thin, weak imd'lacklng In red corpuscles; poisoning the brain, causing headache and piln In the ees Bad digestion Irritates the heart, caus ing palpitation and finall brlrg ng on disease of "this very Important organ. Poor digestion poisons the kldnejs, causing Brlght's diseabe and diabetes And this is so because every o'gan every nerve depends upon the stomach alone rdr nourishment and renewal, and weak digestion shows itself not onl In loss of appelltc 'and tlcsh, but In weak nerves and mudd complexion.

THE OMAHA KID ON TRIAL. He May follow fiaie Seville to the Penltentlnry. Columbus, Ohio, Dec. 1. Oscar Gardi ner, the "Omaha Kid," arrived here this morning from N,ew York, accompanied by his backer, Paddy Sullivan. Gardiner ap peared In court to answer to the Indict ment charging him with prize fighting. The Indictment resulted from the Hm-Ited-round contest between Gardiner and George Stout, of Cincinnati, in this city on April 7. Stout was put to sleep by a blow on the chin and died the next day; Though the coroner's verdict declared Stout to hav e died from hemorrhag&of the brain, produced b the blow on the chin, the grand jury did not Indict Gardiner for manslaughter, but found a true bill against him on the charge of prize fight ing. Gardiner's attorne s expect to show that the affair was a glove contest, and not a prize fight. The only precedent in this State Is that of Dave Seville, who was sent to the penitentiary on the charge of prize fight ing. The cases aire similar. Arthur Maj esty, of Toledo, died as a result of In juries received In a contest with Seville at Nelsonville. In the Gardiner case the day was spent in securing a jury. An Appeal to the President.
