greatest hit, The Fair in Midgettown,"

their versatile talents as signers, actors

Unlike other spectacular plays, "The
Fair in Midgettown" can boast of quite
a plot. A New York millionaire has a
daughter who is twenty years old but still
a child in size. At her request he takes
her to Midgettown, a little place in Penn
sylvania. where only little people dwell,
and their adventures there are portrayed
in the four acts and eleven tableaux of
the play. The young woman is delighted
with her visit and falls in love with a

PEACE BASIS.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The Peace
Commissioners. received their final in
structions frorl the President today,
and the State Department tonight
gave out the following concerning the
discussion between the members of the
Cabinet and the Peace Commissioners:
The members of the Peace Commits
sion, with the exception Of Senator
Gray, whose absence was due to his
inability to withdraw as counsel in
case in which he was engaged some
time before his appointment as one of
the Peace Commissioners, have spent
the greater part of yesterday and to-
day in a free discussion of the duties,
with the discharge of which they have
been intrusted by the President. Sen
ator Gray is expected during the ev-
ening, and before sailing will have a
full conference with the President and
his associates.
while for obvious reasons 1t was
determined that the nature of the in
structiOns as to the negotiations about
to be entered upon should for the pres
ent be kept secret and made known
only after definite results shall have
been reached, it is possible to state
authoritatively that the Commission
goes to Paris fully prepared to follow
a course of action mapped out for 1t
as the result of the consultations Of
the last two days.
AT the very outset it will be made
clear to the Spanish Commissioners
that, as in the case of the preliminary
protocol. there can be no deviation
from or modification of the demands
made by the United States

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15.-The gen
eral opinion is that the instructions
finally drawn up and approved by the
President and his Cabinet at the spe-
cial meeting this afternoon after long
conference with four members OF the
Peace Commission, mean permanent
American control of the Philippines.
Although there was an agreement that
nothing should be divulged as to the
nature of the instructions, it was told
tonight, by a high official of the Adj
ministration who is familiar with its
contents that the instructions meant

control of the entire Philippines group

A HOPELESS TONE.
MADRID, Sept. 16.-The alleged in
tention of the United States to demand
the island of LuZon is regarded by
the Madrid Foreign Office as an in
fringement upon the spirit of the peace
protocol. If Spain is compelled to cede
that island to the United States, great
efforts will be made to retain the right
to determine the disposal of all the
other Philippine islands, with a view
of eventually abandoning them alto
gether.

Mr.. Richard B. Tippett is the
Democratic nominee for Congress of

He has interviewed himself which
interview was published in the

interview stamps Mr.. Tippett's
craftsmanship as class in common
parlance known as small potatoes.
His financial views he expresses in
the following short paragraph: 81

announcement in the convention

The Lesson of /" Algerism I"

From the Womans Journal
Alger is no more to blame than McKin-
ley who appointed and upholds him.
and he in turn is the creature of
the great American people, which las
a body deserves no better treatment
than he has given it. When has it ever
required that public servants should hold
public interests paramount
This terrible disaster was clearly fore
shown in the early days of the war. From
the first, political influence was allowed
to override military training and exper-
fence. When the commissary and quar-
termaster departments were filled with
political appointees, some independent
newspapers warned the President that
evil would come of it, and that it was a
crime to put the soldiers welfare into such
hands. But for the most part the press
made jest of our national disgrace, and
the people took it as a matter of course.
To go still further back-what was the
use of calling out 100000 volunteers, in
addition to charging the regular army !?
We have not used one-fifth of this
number i'll Cuba, the Philippines and
Porto Rico, although the latter island was
VIGOROUSLY made picnic" ground for
many more troops than could be needed
1t may be said that we could not foresee
the speedy end of the war; but in reality
1t was foreseen. Spain was known to be
bankrupt, and no state can make war
nowadays without plenty of money, any
more than warship can move without coal.
1t was plain that she only meant TO make
show of fighting. But instead of allow
ing the navy to act before the enemy had
time to fortify, as all Europe and America
expected it TO do, the President held it
back, ard called for I25, 900 volunteers.
Presently he demanded $4,000 more,
while the first army was still in state of
chaos, lacking almost everything. Then
he began to talk of third call, but this
was too preposterous even for the all
enduring American people. Those South
ern camps, where our men have sweltered
and suffered and died by hundreds, have
not only proved needless, but were known
to be so from the first, by the rules of
reasonable likelihood But there were
thousands of applicants for official places
IN connection with the army, and lust
then 1t was easy to extend the field of
possible favors at the expense of patient
people What else could we expect from
the average statesman ?"
