The Filippinos are the most
inoffensive race on the globe.
They accept conditions and
are contented with them as
they find them. They are
temperate in all things, except
idleness and sleeping. They
indulge in these habits to intern
perate excess. No American
has seen a native drunk, but
they do furnish a most abomin-
able drunk-making drink to
Americans.
There are no cripples among
the Filippinos. Our troops
have not seen a native with
only one leg or one arm since
they landed on the Island. 1t
is believed by the soldiers that
when it becomes necessary to
amputate a leg or an arm,
that the head is amputated in
stead. Very few old and in
firm are visible among this
people. The old and infirm
die early.
Beggars are common among
the Filippinos, and they know
how to importune long and
persistently. One will follow
you for yards on the steet.
In person and dress the Fill
ippinos are remarkable for
cleanliness, but in some other
ways are hoggish and doggish.
They are total strangers to
modesty and some of the pro
prieties of civilized life.

tion cut off debate the speaker or
dered the roll called.
The responses on the roll call

fections from the Republican side,
but there wore no acquisitions. In

patriotic songs.
The battle hymn Of the republic
was sung by General Henderson, of

Washington, April 10.-After one
of the hardest fought battles be-
tween the two Houses known in many
years Congress at an early hour this
morning came to an agreement upon
the most momentous question which
it has dealt with in q third of CEN
tury. .....
Tho Cuban resolution was passed,
and will be sent to the President
this morning. Its provisions mean
the expulsion of Spain from the is
land of Cuba by the armed forces Of
the United States. There were many
roll calls in both Houses, and each
body held tenaciously for it's own re-
solution. The conferees had great
difficulty in agreeing The first con-
ferences showed determination on
the part of the House not to yield a
single point, and it was only after
long consultation With the House
leaders that they agreed to allow the
little words "are and" in the first
section Of the Senate resolution, which
declared that the people Of Cuba are
and of right ought to be free and in
dependent. The resolution as final
ly adopted is that reported from the
Senate committee of foreign rela'
'tions with the addition Of the fourth
section, known as the Teller amend.
ment, disclaiming any intention on
the part of the United States to ac-
quire Cuba. The resolution cannot
be sent to the President until after
it is signed by the presiding officers

NOT EERING.

Yesterday morning this country and other countries interested in this coun- try were eheered by the courageous and honest words of President Mckinley in support of sound money and the gold standard, This morning there will be another kind of feeling when the news from Washington is read. The Senate has passed the Teller resolution, which provides That all the bonds of the United States issued, or authorized to be issued, under the said acts of con- gress hereinbefore recited are payable, principal and interest, at the option of the government of the United States in silver dollars of the coinage of the Unit ed States containing four hundred and twelve and one-half grains each of stan- | dard silver; and that to restore to it's coinage such silver coins as legal ten der in payment of said bonds, principal and interest, is not in violation of the public faith nor in derogation of the | rights of the public credtors.''
 l This resolution was passed by vote of AZ to 32, after long and lively de- bate. There is some question as to just | what it means, but after all the talk about it's meaning one thing is plain
 and that is that it doesn't mean what the President meant when he s aid: | Whatever may be the language of the contract, the United States will dis charge all of it's obligations in the cur rency recognized as the best throughout
 the civilized world at the times of pay. ment." It doesn't mean what those who
 voted for Mckinley and sound money
 meant when they so voted.
 1 Fortunately, it is not probable that
 this Teller business can make mucf
 further progress. But 1t is disquieting

CIRCUMSTANTIA ETIDENCE,

Guilty men have been convicted on
 circumstantial evidence, and so have innocent ones. Two recent cases show how innocent men may be placed in a
 very unpleasant predicament by such
 evidence. One is the case of Carbone, an Italian who is now in Sing Sing under sentence of death for murder.
 When Carbone was convicted he pro- tested in the most earnest manner, but the evidence against him was so clear and strong that no attention was paid to his protest, He was convicted after a trial of only eight hours. But an- other Italian named Ciaremello has been arrested and has confessed that he did the deed for which Carbone was to be killed. It appears that the mur- dered man had enraged Ciaremello by paying attention to his wife. The mur- dered mans name was Brugno. Car bone, who is cousin of Ciaremello, had quarrelled with Brugno. Ciaremello says: "On Sunday, September Il, Car bone and myself were in Franklin street. I stepped into a saloon and Carbone continued walking up Baxter street to Leonard street. I followed, and there saw my cousin down on the street, with Brugno standing over him
 I ran up. My cousin had gone on the other side of the street. then stabbed Brugno twice in the side. remained 1 there for a short time talking to a man named Grocho. There was some excite.
 ment and walked away. The next
 day I went to Philadelphia, and then | to Manayunk, Pennsylvania. There ] learned that some one was making in
