CONGRESS WILL HAVE THE WHOLE
MATTER SETTLED
gum and III Necessary Republicans
VIII Vote Against Reed.

New York, March 1.-THE Journals
Washington man sends the following:
Congress was polled today on the qucs-
ton Are you in favor of adjournment
OF congress before the report OF the Maine
disaster is received and before a settle
ment Of the Cuban question is made?"
The majority OF the sentiment Is over
whelmingly In favor of congress remaining
In session until both of these questions
are disposed OF. Many republicans In the
house who feel very strongly on this mat
ter refused to place themselves on record
because they thought their views might
show lack Of confidence In the president
and his policy.
They argue with Chairman Cannon or
the appropriations committee that under
any circumstances congress will be In SEES
sion for six weeks yet, transacting routine
business, and they confidently anticipate
before the expiration OF that period that
the Maine disaster and the Cuban q,ies-
ton will have been settled.
Should It become evident there Is an in
tention TO adjourn congress before these
two questions are disposed Of, almost to u
man these republicans would vote to re-
main here all summer II necessary.
In the senate the adjournment resolution
could not pass. Enough senators have ex-
pressed themselves against adjournment to
make sure that congress VIII remain in

AFFAIRS Ar MANILA
Introduction of the Old-fashioned
American Wage Strike.

Manila, Sept. 9.-The United States
consul here. G. F. Williams, in behalf
of Captain N. Mayo Dyer of the United
States ship Baltimore. has returned to
General Miranda the sword which the
latter surrendered to the American Off
Ger at the capture of Corregidor is
land. at the entrance of the bay of
Manila The general replied that he
was overwhelmed by the generosity of
Captain Dyer.
The men who went out on strike on
account of an attempt to return to an
equal basis for payment of labor, after
the American authorities in the early
eXigencies of the situation here had
agreed to the extravagant demands of
the laborers, are disappearing, and 1t
has become necessary to employ SOL
diers to take their places in some cases,
while in other cases the matter has
been compromised. One of these
strikes as cabled on Sept. 5, caused the
suspension of traffic on the horse car
lines of Manila, but they resumed OPP
erations today.
The recruiting agents of the insur-
gents are causing further trouble. They
have been impressing the employees of
foreign residents, including those of the
British consul, and several of the for
eigners have complained that the ma
tive grooms are taking their employers
horses and joining the insurgents.
The American army chaplains have
instituted Protestant services IN pri-
vate buildings. Such services have
never previously been held in the his
tory of the Philippine islands.

New York, Sept. "a dispatch to the
Herald from Manila says: The atti-
tude of the Philippine insurgent lead
ers is daily becoming more dangerous.
So open is their opposition to the
American authorities that the situation
is strained and reconciliation may be
difficult
What makes the situation the more
troublesome is the undisguised rivalry
between the followers of General
Aguinaldo, the self-proclaimed dicta-
tor. and General Pillar. who covets the
honor which Aguinaldo has acquired.
General PHO Pillar is in command of
the insurgent troops stationed south OF
Manila He uses them in a way that
is most annoying to Aguinaldo, ana at
the same time makes every effort to
show his utter disregard of the Amer
lean officials.
His forces continue to patrol the city,
encouraging lawlessness in every di-
rection.
Aguinaldo's course is no less annoy
ing. He no longer attempts to conceal
his hostility to the officials who repre-
sent the United States and yesterday
issued an order prohibiting his soldiers
from entering the American lines. This
course was probably deemed necessary
in order to prevent them from becoming
so we'll disposed toward Americans as
to destroy his power by repudiating his
leadership
The attitude of the rival leaders can
not fail in the end to injure the cause
of Philippine independence. Certainly
it will prevent the presentation of a
strong case before the peace commits
