Douht. About McKinley.

A good old Methodist deacon who is also a lifelong republican, and stall vart at that, is telling this story around the streets, says an eastern exchange:
 There is a little girl of tender years, of pious parentage and republican Tn politics, who has been taught to say her prayers with punctual regularity. She has been paying close attention to the conversation of her father, whom she very properly reveres, and here IS the conclusion she has reached Tn up to-date politics: She was saying her prayers the other evening just before going to bed, and after praying Tor pardon for herself for her small sins of the day and asking to be made good girl, she sent up her petitionsfor dear mamma and papa, grandma ana grandma. the new baby, her doll and the pet kitten. She expressed nope that kitty" might beconyerted from stealing milk and scratching when she became angry.
 This was all quite in line with her usual devotions and called for no par ticular notice, but when they thought she would say amen and go to bed her orthodox parents were greatly sur prised to hear her utter these senti- ments. alien to sound theology as well as to party platforms
 And now, dear Heavenly Father, please take good care of yourself Tor times are still hard and we need a great deal of help, and we do not know what would become ofus II anything should happen to you, Tor we would have no one but President Mckinley to depend on, and he IS not doing quite as well as we expected.

TERRIBLE TYPHOON

In the Philippine IslandE-An Awfnl Dis.
astsr overtakes the InhRbltants-6,0 900
Natives and 400 Europeans Killed.
Many Towns Obiitsrated.
SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 2s.-The ty-
phoon which swept over the Philippine
Islands on the Gin Of October was the
cause of one of tke worst disasters that
has been reported from the southern
acean in mnny years, II not in the history
OF that section of the world.
Thousands OF lives were lost, including
many Europeans, and the damage to
property was something appalling, Tele-
graphic advices concerning the calamity
have been very meagre.
The difficulty of getting news from the
islands Is great at any time, and owing
TO the remoteness OF some of the prov
inces visited by the hurricane full details
OF the storm did not reach Hong Kong
until the lst OF November. The steamer
Gaelic, from the Orient to-day, brought
letters and papers which contain &C.
counts Of the ravaEeH OF the tidal wave
and the winds. Several towns were
swept iWANs fullg 4VV hlINpehne were
drowned and It is estimated that 5000 ma
tives perished.
The hurricane struck the island at the
Bay Of Santa 'auia, In the province Of
Semdr 1t devastated the entire south
ern portion Of the Island and cut on COM
munication with the rest OF the world for
two days. on the 18th the hurricane
reached Leyte and struck the capital Of
Tacloban with grcnt jury. In less than
half an hour the town was n mass OF
ruins. The natives were panic stricken
and tried to make their way to cleaI
ground Four hundred OF them were
buried beneath the debris OF wrecked
buildings and 1876 corpens Of Europeans
were recovered from the ruins when the
native authorities instituted search for
the dead.
Rcporis from thc southern coaBt were
received which claimed that a score OF
small traders were blown ashore and the
crows drowned.
The eea At Samoa swept inland nearly
mile destroying property valued nj
0cvcral million dollars and causing
wholctlle dcnths among the natives.

or, at least so much OF his views on lead

ample, that there will be no change in the
attitude Of the administration towards
Spain on the Cuban question, except
where late developments in the diplo-

sary. The general trend Is 10 conserya-

of the fact thar Spain has conceded every
point made In an intercessary way by
this country. The Recommendation will
be to give Spain chance 20 do her duty
by Cuba.

There had been suggestions made OF
exempHng deputy collectors of internal
revenue and sundry other officials, possl-
bly, deputy marshals, from the operation
of the law, but this, he believed, would
now be somewhat modified, in view OF
the last executive order. The senator
could not say what the final conclusions
OF the committee would be. There will
be measures introduced in both houses
almost as soon as Congress cofvcnes for
a modification OF the civil service law.
Some Of these measures will be radical
and IL insisted upon will. II Is believed,
defeat action altogether. The general
opinion expressed Of the temper of Con-
gress 10 that a conservative modification
will receive a majority Of both branches
OF Congress, and, so far as now known,
suoS measure will receive the votes Of
the representatives from West Virginia.

The President will take no advanced
ground on the monetary question. II is
believed he will merely call attention to
the various suggestions made by the
treasury officials, without making re-
concentrations, leaving to Congress the
responsibility OF evolving the necessary
legislation. He Will thus treat Secretary
Gage's plan for the reform OF the cur
rency, neither endorsing nor dlsapprov-
ing. He will. however, take the ground
that when a greenback is once redeemed
1t should not be again paid out, except
FOR gold. This Is in connection with the
subject to be introduced in Secretary
Cages report,

Pritchard, the committee chairman. when
