WANTED A RIDE.
But Conductor Saw Him and Now He Has

But Conductor Saw Him and Now He Has
Sprained Ankle From Jumping.
A fellow who gave his name as Thorn
as Milan sprained his right ankle as
a result of a fall from q Boston and
Albany train, leaving union station at
Ills o'clock last night. The man was
trying to steal ride, but was noticed
in his attempt by the conductor, George
Merrill. When the train was out of
the train shed about 20 feet, Milan saw
the conductor coming, and jumped,
rather than remain in danger Milan
admitted, when he limped back into
the train shed, that he intended to ride
as far as North Grafton. Before the
train started he told Conductor Merrill
that he was broke" and asked for O
free passage. This the conductor re-
fused, and Milan boarded the train with
an idea that he could hide himself He
stated when asked about the matter,
that he could easily steal ride. He
intended to climb to the top of the car
and remain while the conductor made
his trip through the car. The fellow
claimed that he was at one time a
railroad brakeman. He was perfectly
sober and said that his accident was
merely a case of luck

GREAT ATTENDANCE.
The Hibernian Fair Continues It's Sue
cessful Season in Mechanics Hall.

The third night of the festival which
is being held in Mechanics hall for the
benefit of the Ancient Order of Hiber-
mans building fund saw the big hall
fairly packed with friends of the or
ganization. 1t was originally intended
to make last night the closing night of
the festival, but in view of the large
and generous attendance which has
been accorded the affair." the committee
has decided to continue it another eve
ming.
Last nights attendance was almost
exclusively made up of young people,
and they found vent for their pleasure
in dancing to the inspiring music of
Boyds orchestra. Dancing continued
until the closing hour, midnight, and at
that time the standing in the voting
contest, which had been spiritedly wag-
ed during the evening, was: TsAick

UPHOLD THE PRESIDENT.
Mr. SuIIOway of New Hampshire
Talks of the Philippines.

Cyrus A Sulloway, representative from
the First New Hampshire district, said
last night "Of course, we want the Phil
ippines. if for no other reason than be-
cause the President thinks We do. We are
duty bound to uphold the Administration
in its dictation of the terms of peace. and
the only question to be considered now is
the value of the new possessions
There is a good deal of bowling and
clustering among certain class of peo-
ple. who fear that the natives of the
islands cannot be made American citizens
There has always been this same bowling
and clustering upon the occasion of new
ACQUISITION made by the United States.
I'VE need the islands for our commerce.
II each Filipino consumed but one ounce
of -four a day. it woutu require all the sur
plus wheat grown in this country to sup
nly their demand. There now will be no
necessity for the farmers of the West to
ship their wheat across a continent and
then over the water.
THE Nicaragua Canal should be built
at once. 1t is needed for commercial and
military purposes. When the battleship
Oregon had to make that famous trip
around the Horn the necessity of canal
was fully demonstrated. We do not want
to have to go around the world to get to
our back The canal should be owned and
controlled by the United States, OF
course"

Representative Charles w. stone
Favors Its Constructions.
Representative Charles w. Stone OF
Pennsylvania. Chairman of the Commit
tee on Coinage Weights and Measures.
one of the oldest leaders on the Repub-
iican side. expressed himself yesterday
afternoon on the issues which will come
before the House as follows:
II am in favor of the construction of
the Nicaragua Canal, as are the people
of my district. When l first took my seat
in Congress | was "A radical advocate oil
a canal to connect the two oceans. Now
that we are to have the Philippines, and
have annexed the Hawaiian Islands, the
necessity of such waterway has in
creased. and is indispensable to the ad-
yancement of our commercial interests.
..The canal must be built, owned and
controlled by the Government; the point.
place or how, is not of as much import
ance as that 1t should be built immedi-
ately.
II think the acquisition of the Philip
pines has been practically settled. No
matter what the policy of a member OF
the House of Representatives may be,
il the Senate ratifies the treaty now be-
ing prepared at Paris, which calls for the
payment to Spain of s2O.eoe.00o. each indi-
viduai member is bound by a national
honor to vote for the appropriation of
that amount in order TO uphold the ac-
zion of the officials Of our Government,
who were invested by the President with
power to represent the policy OF our
country in framing treaty. l am N
favor of an increase in the standing army
and should like to see our navy stand pre-
eminent among those of the world.

ACTION Is NEEDED NOW.
Mr.. Hit Would Bnnish Difficulties
to the Future.

Some of the more conservative of the
Republican members of Congress have moi
yet made up their minds as to the consti-
tutionality of the Presidents plans for
dealing with the new colonies, question
ing whether 1t is possible to maintain
tariff against them after they become
property OF the United States.
Among those who have apparently not
yet made up their minds ON this subject is
Chairman Hit of the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs. He said last night:
There is as yet no need TO consider this
question. The feeling of the country Is.
undoubtedly. that the military government
of Porto Rico and the Philippines should
be maintained for time-that the soldiers
who took the islands should govern them.
THE thing we have to do now is to de-
eide whether we shall let them go to Spain
or some other country while we are decid-
ing the constitutional rights of the case
or whether we shall take them under our
wing and then consider. In a year or two
VIC may have to, decide what We wish to
do with them Meanwhile, let MS not
trouble our heads about whether the Phil
ippines or the Porto Ricans will make
good citizens or not. There is plenty Oh
time TO do this in the future

pErr1eREw ON EXPANSION.
He Is Opposed to the Administrn-
tiOn's Policy.

He Is Opposed to the Admtnistra-
TONS Policy.
Senator Richard F. Pettigrew. of South
Dakota. Chairman of the Committee on
Indian Affairs, said: II am unalterably
opposed to the Administrations policy of
expansion. 1 am unalterably opposed to
the requirement of tropical countries by
right of conquest. I opposed the annexa-
tion of Hawaii That place was taken by
the Sandwich Islands did not want to be
annexed to the United States. They do
not want it today. If a vote were taken,
not 20 per cent of the people would ap-
prove it.
eff there are reasons-and I believe
there are many-why we should not take
Hawaii and its lepers, there are even
graver reasons why We should let the
Philippines and its hordes of Malays
alone They would only be constant
source of great expense, loss of life and
a constant menace to the national peace.
.sWhat will be the fate of the peace
treaty in the Senate? Really, i don't
know, and as have not made myself IA
miliar with its provisions, 1 do not care to
express an opinion.
"As to free silver. it is certain to be a
prominent issue in 1900. The decline of
prices in agricultural products since 1873
has been caused in the main by the de-
moralization of silver and the consequent
rise In gold

THE CoUNTRY'S DUTY.
Mr.. ShownIter Snnguinc of the
House Sentiment.

Representative Joseph b. Showaiter or
Pennsylvania said: There will be little
contention in the House regarding the
Philippine question. The disposition OF
the islands has practically already been
made. and those members who oppose 1t
will find themselves very far down the
ladder when the vote as to the approprtd-
ton has been made.
1T is clearly the duty'o of the American
people TO accept and control the Philip
pines. There is nothing else for US 10 DO.
We cannot divide them up among the
powers of Europe; We cannot give them
back to Spain. ncr leave them unprotect-
ed. The lands are very rich in minerals
and the soil is very productive. There Is
no reason why they should not prove a
valuable acquisition to our country.
The Nicaragua Canal has now become
a necessity. The acquisition of the Ha-
waiian and Philippine Islands has made
il Indispensable to our commerce. 1t must
be built and controlled by the Government.
| should not vote TO subsidize company
to construct 1t. as corporations have not
always proved themselves to be loyal

FAvoRs A LIBERAL POLICY.
The Philippine Problem "s Viewed
IN Mr. Crump.

Il am in favor of liberal policy with
regard to tariff in the Philippines.
Representative Rousseau o. Crump, of
Michigan. told a reporter for The Times
Yesterday afternoon. I'VE have got the
islands. and now it is problem to p-o-
vide for them. As a member oil the
Committee on Manufactures i would like
to see the islands brought into closer
trade relations with the United states.
and l think as said before. a LIBERAL
policy should be observed.
II believe that for time a military
government is the best thing for our new
possessions. but careful investigation
should be made of the resources and ma
tive ability of the people, and If they are
capable of governing themselves | am n
favor of allowing them an independe ent
government BY independent ! mean on
the order of our State government but
of course directly responsible and amen
able to the laws of the United States.
and as a matter of fact, It will be much
cheaper"

Live Expnnsioni.t.

Representative l.. ]. Fenton of Ohio
favors the idea of expansion. and thinks
the. United States should control all the
-e~o-t,v occupied Spanish colonies. He
thinks, however, that the natives of the
Lew ,erIitory should not have voice in
the government of the United States, as
they are not educated to the standard OF
performing the functions of American
citizenship.
'As result of expansion" said he,
1.-The navy should be increased. The Mica
ragua Canal should be constructed to
facilitate commerce with the colonies
and to afford an easy means of passage
from the Atlantic to the Pacific for war

Islands as will make them part OF our

such result.
Il am for the gold standard, but ! am
in a section where it is difficult to judse
of the sentiment which prevails in the
country at large. In New England there
has neverbeen any extensive, deep-seated
desire for the free coinage of silver. Mr.
George Fred Williams has argued the
question forcibiy. and although he is an
able man. 1 think he has failed to make
telling Impression upon his party on
the subject Ny impression is that the
silver issue will not occupy so prominent
a place in 1900 as it did in 96.

SILVER ISSUE IN GEORGIA.
As Strong Vow as II WINS During

Representative John w. Maddox, of the
Seventh Georgia district, declined to ex-
press any views on the policy of expan-

general political situation in his State.
He said that the silver sentiment is as
strong as it was during the campaign of
1896. No especial interest was taken in
it during the last election and the Repub-
licans and Populists failed to put candi-
dates in the field.
The primaries throughout Georgia were
held last June before the investigation of
the conduct OF the war was even thought

nois said of the open door policy of the
Philippines:
IF it means that the ports shall be open
to all the world, and other nations be al
lowed to ship their products free of duty,
j am opposed to 1t. If the Philippines be-
come part of the United States the tariff
policy for them should be the same as
with us. We should have the benefit OF
their trade as buyers and sellers
Representative Andrew ]. Hunter of the
Nineteenth Illinois district said:
Doubt has been expressed whether Con-
gress can permit the Philippines to levy
On United States products when the ISL
ands practically belong to this Govern
ment, and. in my judgment, as soon as we
assume territorial Jurisdiction over the
Philippines all tariff laws between the twa
countries become void under the Consti-
tuition and decisions of our courts
Representative James A. Connolly said:
''If II shall ever happen that the Philip
pines become a part of the United States,
then citizens of any of the United States
will have the same rights there that cit
liens of Illinois will have in the State OF
New York. Congress cannot by any legis-
lation lay an embargo on trade between
citizens Of the United States or different
parts OF the United States without a
change OF our Constitution. Citizens of
the United States who have removed TO
Alaska have lost none of their constitu-
tional rights by removing there, and Con-
gress cannot by any legislation deprive
such persons of the constitutional rights
they had before removing to Alaska.
IF the Philippines ever become a part
nf the United States citizens of the Unite 1
States going there, or being there, will
Lave the same constitutional rights of per-
sen and property as those going to or be-
ing in Alaska. Congress cannot close the
door of trade between any of the States
and Territories. or between the States and
;ny part of the United States, no matter
what such part may be called. whether a
