Soiim' of the KinlmrrasinK Ques
tions. That Wolald tJrt»w Out of
Retention of tin- Philippines.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— For a few
minutes In the senate this afternoon
It seemed likely that a vote might be
taken on one or more of the resolu
tions relating to expansion that are
pending before that body. An tin
usually large attendance of Republic
an senators was in attendance, all of
them having been notified to be pres
ent in the event of a critical vote on
the pending question. Mr. Bacon (Ga.)
had called up his resolutions, and Mr.
Chandler (N. H.) had withdrawn his
motion to refer them to the committee
on foreign relations. Mr. Sullivan
(MissO luul entered a motion to sub
stitute his resolution for those of Mr.
Bacon, while Mr. Davis, chairman of
the foreign relations committee, had
announced that he was willing that a
vote should be taken immediately. As
it was evident, however, that a vote
on resolutions and amendments could
not be token before 2 o'clock — the hour
fixed by unanimous consent for the
senate to &o into executive session —
Mr. Bacon asked for unanimous con
sent that' a vote be taken at 12:30 to
morrow. To this request Mr. Carter
(Mont.) objected, and the whole ques
tion \s as suspended.
Mr. Kawlins (Utah) addressed the
senato upon the Vest anti-expansion
resolution, devoting the greater part
of his time to a defense of his position
That the constitution applies as well
to people of our territories as those of
\h^ states.
Referring to the contention of Sena
tor Lodge and other senators that the
labor product of the Philippines would
i'ut lie permitted to come in competi
tion with American labor and its prod
uct. Mr. Rawlins pointed out that if
congress possessed this authority it
could impose duties which would pre
vent the wheat grown in Oklahoma
from competing with that grown in
Kansas or other states of the Union;
or the minerals produced in New Mex
ico and Arizona from competing with
the like products of Colorado and
Utah. He maintained that if the in
habitants of the Philippine archipelago
may be denied the liberty of locomotion,
not as a punishment for any crime of
which they may have been duly con
vlcted; if they may be lawfully for
bidden to come to America, then we
may dei.y them the right of passing
from one island to another, or from
visiting their neighbor's house, and if
"we may do this, we may throw them
into Spanish dungeons there to await
the incoming tide to end their troubles
and place them beyond the reach of
American tyranny.
SPANIARD TO FILIPINO.
Allusion was made to the contention
that until the treaty is ratified the
truce between the United States and
Spain must continue and then Mr. Raw
lins said:
'•Is it possible that the end of the war with
Spain, accomplished by the ratification of
the treaty,' la to be the inception of a new war
with the inhabitants of tjiose Islands, that
wf? are to turn our guns from the Spaniards
upon them, although guilty of no crime, ex
cept the desire and aspiration to be free?
We can retain Subic bay and sufficient terri
tory around it, or some other suitable pluce
as a military and naval base, and recognise
th.- indei>endence of the people of the rest of
the archipelago, let them go in peace and
give them the assurance of our protection.
"What do we want the Philippine islands
for. Do wp want them to furnish homes for
our people? No. Do we want them to fur
nish an outlet for our surplus labor? Do we
want them to add a wliolesome element to our
population; that our sons may find wives and
our daughters husbands? The blighting eur6e
of the Almighty would rest upon such mis*
ceet'iiation. Do we want them in order to
practice upon their inhabitants the same
acts of philanthropy which, applied to tho
alxrignal inhabitants of thi6 continent, and
led to their extermination ? Humanity says
no. Oo we want th«n in order to send
hither swarms of office-holders, carpet bag
gers to rint among them like slimy worms
eating out their substance? Ah, there's th»
rub. Rut for this perplexing problem I doubt
would todaj- be seriously confronting the
American people. No, there Is no conceivable
g;>od wiiloh they can bring to us. Their reten
tion bedes nothing but evil. We cannot afford
to go even half way down to the Asiatic level
Iv order to proportionately uplift their civil
ization. VV« have enacted laws which stand
like Cherubim with his flaming sword at the
gateways of the republic to drive back the
hordos of the dark and degenerate races of
the East, lest they might enter In to Infect
and degrade ua.

RIVER ANJThARBOR BILL
Fifty of th-e BtgllSy Piikm »»f the
Document Disposed «.■•'.
WASHINGTON. Feb. I.— Tha house BBtered
upon the consideration of the river and ha 1 '
bor bill today, aud irade rapid progress. Fifty
of the eighty-eight pages of the bill had been
completed when the house adjourned. The
bill appropriates directly about $12,500,000, aud
authorizes contracts to the extent of $lS.O0O,00i)
additional. The general debate was unusually
brief. Its feature was a speech iv opposition
to the bill by Mr. Hepburn, of lowa, who
has fought every river and harbor bill for the
last six years. He said he knew his oppo
sition would nvail nothing, as the votes for
its passage had been arranged for by the ap
propriations in the bill. He attacked particu
larly Mississippi river improvement, which
was ably defended by Mr. Catehlngs, of
.Mississippi.
Practically the only amendment adopted
today was one striking out an appropriation
of $250,000 for a channel from Galveston to
Texas City, Tex., which was opposed by Mr.
Hawiey, of Texas, because the war depart
ment had made no report upon the feasibility
of the project.
When the general debate closed the bill was
read for amendment under the five minute
•rule.
Mr. Tongue (Rep. Or.l, speaking to a pro
forma amendment, protested against the re
peal of a provision for Yakima bay, where,
he said, contracts for the improvement had
already been made.
Mr. Cumniings (Dem. N. V.) madp a brief
speech in favor of the improvement of New
York harbor.
Mr. Hepburn again attacked the Galveston
and Buffalo bayou ship channel.
Mr. Burton offered an amendment to tte
paragraph appropriating $250,0 iX) for the chan
nel from Galveaton to Texas City, Tex.,
which provided that nothing should be done
under this paragraph until a favorable re
port had been received from the chief engi
neers as to the feasibility of the project aEd
its maintenance at a reasonable cost.
Mr. Hawiey (Rep. Tex.), offered as a sub
stitute for the paragraph a provision for a
survey and estimate of the cost of the pro
posed project. He complained that he had
been ignored in the preparation of the bill.
In view of Mr. Hawiey' s s'atement, Mr. Bur
ton moved to strike out the whole para
graph, saying as he did so that -the opposition
to this project might arise from friendship
for Galvestou and the Brazos river project.
The latter motion prevailed, and the whole
paragraph wont out of the bill.
ALASKAN BOUNDARY.
Principal BnstneHS Before the Joint
Hi|fh < oitiiiiiHsion.
WASHINGTON. Feb. I.— The Canadian high
joint commission held its usual brief morn
ing session today, and was followed by the
subcommittee on the Alaskan boundary, which
held a long meating and examined several
experts.
Prof. King, the Canadian astronomer, and
one of his assistants appeared for the Cana
dian side, while the Americans called in Prof.
Pritchard, chief of the coast and geodetic sur
vey, and John McGrath, one of the coast sur
vey topographers, who had Bpent several
years in work along the Alaskan boundary,
and in the neighborhood of Mt. St. Ellas. All
of the' survey men had formidable rolls of
maps and charts, with large stacks of note
books, in which the results of their field work
had been embodied.
This section of the commission's work is
one where the evidence is of such a tangible
character that it is thought there will be lit
tle difficulty in arriving at an equitable set
tlement, although It is understood the com
mission will cot attempt to delineate a hard
and fast boundary, but wiil rather lay down
the lines along which a satisfactory settle
ment can be made.
It was the understanding today that there
would be a oommittee meeting tomorrow
probably on the question of reciprocity.
MADE MATTER~QF RECORD.
Asonclllo's letter to the State De
partment, Which Was Ignored.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The Congressional
Record of today contains a long statement
signed by Agonclllo, the representative of
AguinaJdo, Introduced by Representative
Johnson, of Indiana, in connection with re
marks against the army bill. It apears as
an appendix to Mr. Johc6on's remarks of
yesterday, with the heading '-Memorandum
relating to the rights of the Philippine re
public to recognition, accompanying letter to
the v honorable secretary of state, of date Jan.
11, 1899." The statement was not read dur
ing the debate yesterday, but was printed
uiDder the general laws to insert remarks in
the Record. It appears from this statement of
\fr. Johnson:
"I shall incorporate into the Record, with
my remarks, a letter from the representa
tive of the Philippine republic, now in this
country, recently addressed to the depart
ment of state, for the benefit of those who
care to be informed as to the position as
sumed by him as to the rights of his govern
ment."
The Agoneillo statement is quite lengthy,
covering over two columns of the Record!
Its substantial features have elready been
published.
SENATE COMMITTEES.
Changrea Due to the Death of the
Late Senator Morrlll.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The committee on
committees of the Republican caucus of the
senate today agreed upon the rearrangement
of committee assignments made necessary by
the death of Senator Morrill. Senator Aldrich
succeeds to the chairmanship of the commit
tee on finance, and Senator Spooner succeeds
Senator Aldrich as chairman of the commit
tee on rules. Senator Hanna succeeds Senator
Spooner as chairman of the committee on re

bershlp on the following committees: Terri
tories, engrossed bills, additional accommoda
tions for the congressional library, transpor
tation routes to the seaboard and to the com
mittee to examine the several branches of the
civil service. Mr. Platt, of Connecticut, re
tires from the committee on territories; Mr.
Simon (Or.) on the committee on public build
ings and grounds. Mr. Baker retires from the
committee on engrossed bills and goes on the
civil service committee. Mr. Aidrich retires
from the committee on transportation routes,
and Mr. Gallinger from the committee to ex
amine the civil service.
HOUSE CAUCUS.
Republican Members Will Consider
a Currency Bill.
WASHINGTON. Feb. L— A caucus of the
Republicans of the house has been called for
tomorrow night, at 8 o'clock, to decide upon
the question of considering a currency bill
at this session. The coinage, weights nnd
measures committee has the bill to fix th 9
standard of value, and for other purposes,
including the retirement of greenbacks on
tho calendar, and the friends of the measure
have been persistently urging the committee
on rules to grant time for its consideration.
The Indianapolis monetary convention com
mittee urges similar action, and all the
friends of currency reform were given a hear
ing yesterday in the speaker's room and, as
a result, a caucus of Republicans has beon
called for tomorrow night to consider the
matter. It may be that other matters will
be brought before the caucus.
CURRENCY BILL
Favorable Report Is Made on the
Bronius Bill.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— A favorable re
port on what 13 known as the Brosius bill,
covering financial features in line with those
recommended in the president's message, was
made today by Representative Van Voorheea,
of Ohio, on behalf of the committee on bank
ing and currency. As to the provision allow
ing banks to issue circulation up to par value
of bonds deposited, instead of 90 per cent of
the bonds, as at present, the report states
that the change would add to the circulation
$23,644,584. The report urges that if this bill
becomes a law there will be an increase in
the amount of circulation issued when the
demands of business require it, and thus a
distinct benefit will come both to the banks
and to the community, without in the slight
est degree endangering note holders.
Currency Circulation Report.
WASHINGTON". Feb. 1.-The monthly cir
culation statement of the comptroller of the
currency shows that at the close of business
Jan. 31, 1899, the total circulation of natioral
bank notes was $243,241,501, an increase for
the year of $16,796,595, and a decrease for the

UniM a Certalu Sum of Money
and Rel inburar Thrmaelrra From
l(c\ i-iiiiyx of the Inland.
MOBILE, Ala., Feb. I.— Hannis Tay
lor, ex-minister to Spain, who return
ed yesterday from a two weeks' visit
to Cuba, has made the following state
ment on the Cuban situation:
"While in Cuba upon purely private
business I came in contact with the
leaders of every faction into which the
population is now divided. The ex
tremes of opinion are represented on
one hand by Cuban military chiefs de
manding: immediate and absolute inde
pendence; on the other by the purely
Spanish element seeking: protection un
der our flap. Between the two extremes
is ranged the main body of the peo
ple, standing: in an expectant attitude
rea.dy to give their approval to any
plan that will re-establish law, order
and material prosperity upon a per
manent basis.
"Upon one point all agree, American
officers as well as Cubans, and that is
that outside of the cities the country
is in a condition of want and misery
that can hardly be exaggerated. As
an aggravation of that condition stands
the Cuban army, composed of at least
30,000 idle men, waiting with arms in
their hands for such a settlement of
their dues as will enable them to re
sume life again.
"When I asked those who had a right
to speak for the army what sum would
suffice for a satisfactory settlement
they said $10,000,000 or $11,000,000 at
least, a sum that would give about $300
to each man. With that they said the
small farmers could proceed and con
tinue to live until they could m&ke a
crop. The Cubans neither ask nor de
sire us to contribute a penny for the
maintenance of their army. All they
ask is that a loan be made for the pur
pose charged upon their custom houses
now yielding from twelve to fifteen mil
lions a year; the proceeds of the loan
to be paid to their soldiers through our
military authorities.
SETTLEMENT DEMANDED.
"Every class in Cuba is now demand
ing a settlement be made at once so
that a menacing and consuming body
of idle men may be converted into
peaceful pursuits. In that way the In
dustrial energy of the country could
be revived, and a force dissolved which,
like the army of Cromwell, is not only
a military body, but the dominant po
litical power in the island.
"I cannot doubt that if the Just
claims of the Cuban army are treated
with injustice and contempt and the
present military regime continued in
definitely, in a short time we will- be
hated by the Cubans just as the Span
iards were, and a condition of things
brought about that will force us either
to withdraw from the island or to gov
ern there just as. Russia does in Po
land. Wise and humane as our mili
tary governors are, the fact remains
that they govern by the sword, in de
fiance of the civil power, and the re
sult is that impatience and discontent
are already clearly manifested on ev
ery hand.
"The urgent needs in Cuba now are
prom,pt and satisfactory settlement
with the army of the revolution and
establishment, as soon as possible, of
a provisional civil regime in which
Cubans themselves can have a voice.
The president should labor unceasingly
to obtain both ends, and in the effort
to do so he should have the cordial co
operation and support of all patriotic
and liberty-loving men. regardless of
party. We should learn from the Eng
lish how suicidal It la to carry our par
ty difficulties into our foreign affairs."
Capital Notes of Local Interest.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The contractors
for reservoir work in Minnesota recently
asked the war department to secure for them
the privilege- of cutting Indian timber to
be used in that work. The request was re
ferred to Ca.pt Abbott, in charge of thalt
work, who has reported that it will be in
advisable to grant this privilege in view of
the feeling of the Indians regarding: their
timber.
The Chipp&wa Indian delegation appeared
before the senate committee on Indian afftKrs
today. They were apparently not decided as
to their plans and did not present their griev
ances in any specific form.
T. F. Armitajje has been appointed a mem
ber of the board of pension examining surg
eons at Princeton, Minn.
Congressman Stevens today introduced a
bill for reiief of settlers on public lands.
Sullivan Resolution.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The Sullivan reso
lution which the committee on foreign af
fairs may permit to pass tlhe senate, before
a vote on the Deace treaty, if as follows:
"That the ratification of the pending treaty
of peace with Spain shall in no wise de
termine the policy to be pursued by the Unit
ed States In regard to the Philippine* nor
shall it commit this government to a colonial
policy; nor is it intended to embarrass the
establishment of a stable, independent gov
ernment by the people of these {elands when
ever conditions make such a proceeding hope
ful of success and desirable results."
While House Dinner.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— President and Mrs.
McKinley gave a. dinner at the white house
tonight in honor of the United States supreme
court, & large number of guests being Invit
ed to meet them. Elaborate floral decora

piece of which consisted of a bed of delicate
Afd&ntium Tenerum ferns, in which rested
handsome orchid* and cattleya flowers.
Public Debt Statement.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The monthly state
ment of the public debt shows that at the
close of business Jain. 81, 1899, the debt, less
cash in the treasury, amounted to $1,1u2,524,
--750, an Increase for the month of $23,448,464.
ThU increase is principally accounted for by
the redemption of government bonds issued
in aid of the Central, Western and Union Pa
cific railroads, which matured Jan. 1, 1899.
Coinage of the Mints.
WASHINGTON, Feb. I.— The monthly
statement of- the director of the mint shows

MERIT MAKES IT FAMOUS.
The Only Remedy In The World, Ex
cept a Surgical Operation, That
Will Certainly Cure Any
Finni of Piles.
The study of physicians, the experi
ments of chemists, the loudly adver
tised pretentions of quacks, have been
for years expended In one direction
to find a pile cure that will cure.
The results have been a number of
harmless, and in most cases useless
ointments, suppositories and even in
ternal remedies, which the public have
weighed in the balance of experience
and found wanting; nearly all of them
gave some relief, but nothing approach
ing a radical cure resulted from these
preparations.
The remedy required is one that im
mediately stops the pain so severe In
most cases of piles, and then by con
tracting the small blood vessels (capil
laries) to their normal size, produces
a radical cure by reducing and finally
absorbing the tumors and.healtng the
inflamed, raw mucous surfaces.
Until two years ago. no such, remedy
had been produced, but at that time a
suppository was placed upon the mar
ket, which has since proven itself to
be the long sought permanent cure for
this common and distressing trouble;
It has rapidly become famous through
out the United States and Canada, and
is now sold by nearly all druggists un
der the name of the Pyramid Pile Cure.
It is now the best known, because Its
merit and safety have advertised it
wherever used. It has been advertised
by word of mouth, from one sufferer to
another; people who had tried every
thing else, even submitted to painful
and dangerous surgical operations
without avail, finally have found that
piles may be cured without pain and
without expense, practically, as the
Pyramid Pile Cure is sold for the nom
inal price of fifty cents and $1.00 per
package.
The Pyramid Instantly stops all pain
and at the same timo contain no co
caine, morphine or narootics; the acids
and healing properties contained lta the
remedy speedily remove, cause a
healthful, natural contraction and ab
sorption of tumors; it will cure any
form of rectal trouble except cancer
and advanced fistula, which, by the
way, nearly always result from ne
glecting proper and timely treatment
for piles.
As above stated, can furnish you with
the Pyramid Pile Cure at 50 cents for
ordinary size or $1.00 for large package.

AS AN OBJECJ LESSON.
National Liquor League May Clo<Be
All Saloons In Akron, Ohio.
AKRON, 0., Feb. I.— A representative
of the National Liquor league was in
the city for a week past and local liquor
men were reticent as to his object.
Now that ha has left there is rumor
of a movement, of which he is said to
be the head. It is no leas than the
closing up every saloon in the city
for a period of two years. Members of
the Akron Liquor league made this
statement today in all seriousness, and
say the plan is feasible. The move
ment is to be taken in the following
method: The National league covering
four states is strong enough to pro
vide the proprietors of the local sa
loons revenue enough to keep them
out of the business, and will do so in
order to give the people of Akron and
other cities an object lesson of the suf
ferings which will me entailed on mu
nicipalities by the closing of these,
places. The Dow tax, paid by the sa
loons, amounts in Akron to a very
large sum, the most of which goes to
the police and poor funds, and the loss
of this, the liquor dealers figure, will
seriously embarrass the finances of the
city. Akron has been selected as the
city for this object lesson because of
the recent agitation here against the
saloons, conducted by the ministers of
the city.

DUTIES OF THE DEAN
Discussed at the St. Paul Convention
of the Episcopal Church.
"When the report of the conference
committee was presented at the regu
lar midwinter meeting of the St. Paul
Convocation of the Episcopal church,
held in the guild room of Christ church
yesterday, a warm discussion among
the divines present followed. The re
port deals with the proposed Canon
XXII., otherwise called the Canon of
Convocations, and. fixes the duties of
dean to be as follows:
To preside over all meetings of the convoca
tion; to arrange for meetings of all mission
stations; to recommend the amount of mis
sionary assessments to be levied on missions
and to receive all reports of missionary work.
Rev. C. Holmes, of Ascensio.n church,
criticised the proposed canon. He said
an office without duties had been cre
ated. He believed in the superintend
ence of God over the ministry. He did
not believe that any power of the
church could place authority in the
hands of a rector to superintend the
missionary work of another rector, as
this canon provided. He would most
assuredly object to such superintend
ence over the work of his parish. "We
are seeking to give the dean power,
when he should be a man of influence.
Influence is the motive power of the
church, not power."
Rev. O. H. Ten Broeck, of Merriam
Park, thought that the position of the
bishop was being tampered with in
