 It's the desire of the Presi. dent that the treaty shall be signed by the time Congress meets next month. It is ap- preciated that such eXpidition will necessarily mean the mak ing of important concessions to the Spanish Commissioners, as they undoubtedly will resist as long as possible the transfer of sovereignty over the entire archipelago to the United States.

EXTRA SESSION CERTAIN.
Coming Congress Will Enact Little
 Important Legislation.

VI N0>''s @SSo iSiotioiif
 Washington, Nov. 11.-It is said that the President has promised Chairman H. H. Han ma of the Indianapolis gold convention that an extra ses- sion will be called to meet in March for the consideration of financial and other important legislation.
 The belief is growing that the ratification of the treaty with Spain and practically all the legislation rendered neces. sary in consequence Of the .ac- quisltlon of territory by the United States will go over to the extra session, most of the time of the coming session of this Congress being taken up with the appropriations and routine matters. r.7
 It is doubtful whether evea the legislation affecting the permanent increase of the army will be accomplished, if, in deed, 1t is attempted. II

HIGHER TAX, SAYS HANNA.
War Revenue To Practically Stand With Some More Features
 Probably Added.

Cleveland, O., Nov. 13-In an Interview to night Senator Hanna said the tariff would have to be revised to meet eX. lstlng conditions.
 "The war revenue measure" he said, must be revised. but we Will keep many of the origl. nal features of the law simply because 1t is necessary. Un der the old tariff law we are not getting very much revenue because we are exporting in- stead of importing, and some thing must be done to meet these new conditions We must have new revenue measure. So far as I am con. cerned, 1 favor putting a duty on tea and coffee. The reven- ues for the support of the Government must be raised in some way, and the indirect is the best way, according to my Idea. When the people do not realize that they are paying a tax there is no complaint. Still, 1t will be necessary to retain some of the features of the war revenue measure. The tax is now on the people, and in some instances it is the proper method of taxation y.

DINGLEY ON THE ELECTION.
He Thinks the Free Silver Issue
 Has Been Settled

Washington. D. c. Nov. 13. Republican leaders are unan- imous in the opinion that last Tuesdays election has settled the free silver issue.
 Representative Dlneley, chairman of the House, Ways and Means Committee, said:
 'The recent elections have settled to my mind, the fact that the people of the West are no longer welded to what Is known as the silver craze Of course every man believes Tn silver as money. The great question at issue has always been how far shall we go, or rather how far will it be safe to go in the direction of free coinage. Soand money is making converts every day In the West. And what has done as mu0h as anything to fight the battle for 1t in that territory is the increased pros perity of the people thele,
 "We shall hear less and less of Populism and less and less of the free coinage of silver as the agricultural classes in the West increase in prosperity. Good crops and fair prices for the same are the foes of all 'isms' and makesnifts. Even the demagogue loses hls vo- cation under such auspices, and inspired by the boom goes to work and shares in the general prosperity of his fel- lows,
 "For my part 1 think this country under the administra- ton of President Mckinley. has em mbarked on a new era of pros perity, which promises to con- tlnue for a long time to come If we are only wise and con- servative. The people seem to have confidence in the wis dom of the President, and con- fidence IS a great thing to in- spire business men and farmers in their several enterprises.
 "As to the question of ex- panslOn, which IS now occupy ing the attention of good men in both parties, that is a sub- ject that l am not prepared at this time to discuss for publi- cation. It is a great subject on which there is an honest difference of opinion. 2" Whena the time comes, if it ever shall, when l, Is a public man, am compelled to declare myself, l shall do So unequivocally, but at present I prefer to remain silent upon the subject.

HAVE TALKED ENOUGH.
The Spaniards Must Cease Their
 Wind Work.
A SPECIAL CABINET MEETING.
The Philippine Question Must be
 Settled at Once.

Washington, Nov, 12.-Tbe administration las instructed 1 the American Commissioners at Paris to bring the Philip pine question 10 d head next week, as a result of a cabled Ireport from Judge Day, receiv- ga this morning, indicating that
 the negotiations were not ad vancing as rapidly as the President desires.
 The President thought 1t sui ticiently important to require the immediate consideration of a special Cabinet meeting, which was called as soon as he received the cablegram.
 At this meeting the situation at Paris was thoroughly dis cussed until a general agree ment was reached that the American Commissioners should be advised that the Spanish members of the com mission must be brought to un- derstand promptly that they must definitely meet our de mand for the Philippines and accept or rejectit.
 No formal ultilnatum is 10 be given, but the main question is to be settled speedily. so that the only thlug to be left open to discussion, namely, the matter of compensation, may be taken up at once
 The instructions were that the American representatives must admit of no further dis cussion IS 10 the right to con sider the disposition of the islands,
 The President today receiv- ed the views of every mem Der of the American Peace Com mission, based upon the in formation they have received and the arguments advanced by he Spanish Commissioners, as to the policy the United States should pursue respect ing the Philippines. From what could be gathered there is apparently some personal difference of opinion among the Commissioners as to the eX- tent 10 which the United States should go in taking territory in the far East.
 It has been reported that Senator Gray was opposed to the plan of annexing the Philippines without compensa- ton to Spain, and that he might fight a treaty of this sort ii the Senate. The truth is, however, that Senator Gray is i merely opposed to the policy of expansion. He considers that 1t would be unwise for the United States to acquire any territory in the Far East, eX- cept for a coaling station, or, at most, the Island of Luzon.
 The action of the President in calling for the views of the American representatives is considered highly significant and the authorities are very much averse to discussing the matter in any way. But it was stated that the Commissioners in Paris had been informed that the settlement would be left to their judgment, and that they were advised at the same

time, but that fire must burn ablaze
sooner or later, and burn, too, un-
til it is established that America is
not second to any single power a
mong the nations of the earth.
There will not be absolute peace
for America again so long as any
other nation doubts her capability
to cope on land and sea with any
single power in the world, Should
there be an alliance between Eng
landandAmerica the conditions must
necessarily be such as to preclude
the possibility of peace for the two
countries for any considerable peri
cd, until the power of the allied
countries has been proven superior
to the combined powers of Russia,
Germany and France.
America would regret losing the
long standing and undoubted friend
ship Of Russia. and will hesitate to
take the first step which must lead
to such an estrangement. Were
the English government honest
with America, were England gov
erned by her people and not by the
money octopus, that country would
be Americas most natural ally.
When the American people consider
the proposed alliance with England,
they must determine upon what it
is that we could combine with,
whether it would be the great hon.
est heart of the common people Of
England or a band of vultures who
would be given added strength by
alliance, with which to crush the
common people of both countries.
With or without peace America
cannot be restored to prosperity I'M
der financial conditions which have
been wrought by the power that
rules England. England is the
chief architect of America S distress
growing out of the demonetization
of silver. Today while we are talk
ing and thinking of alliance with
England, we are confronted every
where with the words and fullest
effect of their meaning, "the gold
standard"
Damning as are its effects upon
the masses of the American people,
the single standard Of gold is the
financial policy of the present ad-
ministration of American govern
ment, a consummation wrought by
the power and cunning of England
with whom it has been suggested
we should ally ourselves. Since
England purchased to act Of 1873
demonetizing silver, individuals
born In America have assisted in
fastening the gold standard policy
Upon the country, and SO powerful
The silver star., 1898-07-14

is the gold party that with the as
sistance of an English corruption
fund, America, through its own
government, is ruled By financial
policy laid and hatched in England
and nourished blythe money power
of the world. Among those in
America who have aided in strik-
ing down silver are descendants of
the Mayflower party, of the carly
colonists and of the soldiers Of 1916,
but among them all there is not one
American-the blood o; the patriot
forefathers made languid by corrup-
tion, suffered its Americanism to die
in the veins of these traitors 10 their
country long ago.
Will we ally ourselves with Eng
land to perfect the delivery Of our
toiling masses into the hands of a
few who would profit by debating
a financial policy for the world, or
will we keep. the friends we have
and continue the struggle single
handed, for the restoration of the
peoples money and fight our own
battles as they CONG. Until the
money question is settled we will
have enough woe aud misery in the
homes of Americans without shar-
ing England's troubles with Russia,
Germany and France.
The American nation is big G.
nough and strong enough to stand
alone.
