the progress of the instruction In the
Philippine islands. IL Is said that the
rebels are gaining In strength. and prac-
tically control the districts outside OF
Manila, although the Spanish government
strives TO create the impression that the
rebellion is practically subdued.
The origin or tho uprising Is ascribed to
excessive taxation and despotic rule. and
the statement of the Spanish governor
that native priests started the rebellion
for religious purposes is. denied.
Captured rebels and residents suspected
OF favoring the rebels are treated with
great cruelty. and ali sorts Of indignities
are heaped upon captives taken in the
field. The shipping Of prisoners TO the
African colonies continues and leo rebels
were shipped on October ~. During the
October campaign the rebels captured the
towns Of Mont Balan and San Mateo. ten
miles from Manila.

Among the resolutions adopted
was the following:

scenes enacted at the late so-called
regular state convention held at
Austin the past week, brought on
by the uncomfortable desire dis
played by a lot of professional

aim seems to be to get at the pros

succeeded year after year in re-

There is nothing in the recent
resolutions that are submitted to
congress to indicate that the sem
ate is going to recede from her
position as to Cuba. The sending
OF a naval force to that island to
protect American interests there
will, if carried into effect, undoubt-
eddy operate on the Spanish mind
as red rag in the bull ring would

That resolution has the ear-marks
Of decided hostility to the claims

England has taken her advance

England has taken her advance
into Egypt with her,,eyes open and
has no intention OF taking the re-
turn trail, unless she is forced to
do it by the arms of the mahdi.
She has made up her mind that no
European opposition to her course
is going to deter her from laying
her hand on that country and keep
ing it there. She has sized the
situation and this is the result.
She has outmaneuvered France in
this arr angement and will stick.
She may be obliged to go slow in
South America on account of her
intentions in Egypt, but she would
relinguish her hold on everything
In that country in order to make
vital her hold on Egypt. She has
had her eye on that country ever
since the days Of the first Napoleon
and she has come to the conclusion
to take it in out OF the wet. There
may be a pretense Of something
else, but it is posse ssion Of Egypt
that is meant in the British cab
met.

Extract From the Circular Of the Denver
Chamber of Commerce.

The circular letter issued by the
Denver, Colorado, Chamber of
Commerce March II, to the people
Of the United States, in favor of the
free coinage OF gold aud silver,
mention of which has been made
in the LIGHTS telegraphic news
columns, has reached this office by
mail.
An extract from the circular is
worded as follows:
We must remind you that not a
single promise or prediction of the
gold standard advocate has been
verified by the logic of time. In
1878 you were warned that govern
ment coinage of silver would de-
bauch our currency and drive out
gold. While the practice contin-
ued money was stable and plenti-
full, and gold flowed to our shores
in abundance. In 1890 you heard
the same things, but perceived no
monetary disturbances until the
treasury department was induced
to define "coin" to mean gold and
"party" degradation. In 1898 you
were told that the repeal of the
purchasing clause alone stood be.
tween you and reviving business !;
in 1894 the greenback must be re-
tired before you could hope for i'm
provement, and then only il the
country would abdicate its note
issuing powers to the bankers of
the land. "Agitation" is now as
signed as the curse of progress,
and that, too, must cease or the
cause Of a self-styled honest money
may be defeated.
We take issue with the assertion
that a continuance of the agitation
in favor OF the free coinage Of ell
yer has resulted in az enormous or
any cost to the government, or
that it stands in the way of a re-
vival of confidence and national
prosperity. Public obligations are
payable in coin Of the standard
value Of July IA, 1870. Congress
and attorneys general have official
ly declared them to be so payable.

a new suburban line had lately been

minutes more she heard the hoarse hum

swing himself off the car, which pro-
ceeded just as if il were not deprived OF
