move against those who are planning
for the early adjournment of congress.
Mr.. Dockery thinks it would be better
for congress to take u recess. or several
of them, if the war continues, than to
adjourn while the war is going on, while
Speaker Reed and others say there is
no reason why congress should remain
in session after it has provided all the
money that will be needed by the adj
ministration to carry on the war. Mr..
DocIery's resolution is before the ways
and means committee. and will probably
stay there us long as the speaker de-
sires. but the senate will have to be
reckoned with, and it would not be sur
prising to see Mr.. DDcxery's idea car

The administration has received di-
rect information from the commander
of the insurgent army in Cuba which
makes it evident that little aid can be
given by the insurgents in the contem-
plated attack upon Havana. There are
lots of the insurgents, but they are
scattered about in inaccessible places
with no means of rapid concentration
or even of rapid communication with
each other. This has made it neces-
sary to increase the strength of the
army sent to Cuba. 1t is now contem-
plated to send at least 10000 men there
just as quick AS possible. While the
official plans are carefully guarded, it
is known that the first landing of troops
in Cuba is expected to be made inside
Of five days.

The Coconino sun. (Flagstaff, Ariz.) 1898-1978, 1898-05-21

The senate this week adopted by u
vote of 30 to 10 the resolution providing
for submitting to the lie yislaturas of
the several states an amendment to the
federal constitution, changing the date
for the beginning of the presidential
term from March 18th to May 4th, the
change to take effect In 1901. If
adopted, this would add two months to
the length Of the present administra-
ton. and to the terms of senators which
would otherwise expire March 3, 1901,
and to the term Of the house that will
be elected this year. This last is re.
garded rs the best and most important.
There is not sufficient time between the
first Monday in December and the 4th
of March. the legal limit of the short
sessions OF congress, to properly pre-
pare the regular annual appropriation
bills. consequently other important leg
islation is almost always neglected at
at the short sessions. Much could be
done in the two months that this
amendment would add.

The magnificent building at the cor

Philadelphia, is a monument that tells
what a great charity is the Women's
Christian Association of the Quaker
City.
The superintendent of the W. c. A

portrait is printed here. Miss Katherine
Kennedy. What she has done and what
she is doing for the benefit of other wo-
men commands the highest respect and
admiration.
In all other institutions of this kind
more attention is given every year to
teaching the laws of health and right
living, physically as well as NOR

more and more frequently a subject of

sire to continue the use of it, So many
women run down in health by over
work, or what is worse, overworry, have
been restored to perfect health by
Paine's celery compound, that its rec
ord in the Philadelphia home has been
duplicated in every large city in the
Union. Grateful testimonials of this
character have been published time and
again in these columns, and it is a fact
that no other remedy has ever received
a hundredth of the hearty blessings
that the managers of public institutions
have openly accorded to Paine's celery
compound.
The widespread use Of Paine's celery
compound, in the most intelligent, care
full homes, and among the most thought

grown up by just this sort of personal

In time of great mental strain, when

Paine's celery compound purifies the
blood of all bad humors, and cures the
many ailments from this familiar cause.
A vast proportion of all diseases are
preventable. Paine's celery compound
is universally prescribed by medical
men to stop the progress of disorders,
due to poor blood and badly nourished
nerves.

PH111PPTNF ANNEXATION.

There now seems to be a well settled
conviction both at Paris and at Wash
ington that the American peace com
missioners will demand from Spain the
surrender of the entire Philippine archi-
pelago. This is generally regarded as a
logical outcome of the situation. Even
opponents of territorial expansion have
been unable to suggest any other way.
To turn any part of them back to
Spain would be manifestIy unjust to the
inhabitants and would be sowing the
seeds of future trouble for all parties
concerned. This is true. even If Spain
agreed to establish all the reforms
which might be demanded.
Her inability to administer colonial
affairs in a proper manner is apparent
even though she might be willing to do
so. She is bankrupt in all the neces-
sary means and torn by internal dissen-
sions.
Whatever views may have been enter
tanned regarding a policy Of expansion
may as well be put aside. The country
is impelled by circumstances and resist
ance, If desirable, is impossible.

Caught Again.
Had $50, Gold Watch, RevOlv-

Cottonwood Falls, Oct. 29.-The Off
Gals of Strong City and this town have
been having a lively time with a young
burglar, named Roy Merchant, We'd
nesday he had robbed several houses
during broad daylight at Florence. The
home of S. c. Burnett was entered at
midday and a gold watch and $40 sto-
len. Several other houses were looted. A
stranger had been seen lurking around
the city for a day or two. Wednesday
evening he disappeared. A description
of him was telegraphed to Strong City,
and he was captured and placed in the
city jail.
While in the Strong City Jail he set
fire to the building. He was taken out
almost SuffOcated. They started to take
him to the county jail at this point, and,
while boarding the street car at Strong
City, the burglar lodged around the car
and made his escape
When Marshal Minturn Of Florence
arrived at Strong City he found the bird
had flown, but while waiting for the
evening train he saw the burglar trying
to board an east-bound freight. The
train was running too fast, and failing
to get on, he crawled under a tool house,
where Minturn caught him.
He was taken to Florence and had his
preliminary trial before Justice Free
born, who bound him over to the dis
trict court in the sum of $500. Not be-
ing able to give bond, he was remanded
to the county Jail.
He said he was Roy Merchant, aged
II. When searched he had $50 in mon
ey, gold watch, a revolver and num-
erOus other articles stolen while in
Florence. He was braZen-faced through
out his trial and declared that he had
not stolen enough to send him to the
penitentiary, and that they would never
send him to the reform school.
When asked by the justice why he
would not be sent to the reform school,
he said, Because I just run away from
there about two weeks ago." He Is a
hard case.

K1CKAPoo TRAGEDY.
An Aged Woman Missing From Her
Little Shanty Home.

Atchison, Oct. 29.-Some time ago Will
liam Hassett, who lived with his wife
in a little shanty two miles southwest
of Kickapoo, was arrested and sent to
jail for stealing. His wife was left a
home to live as best she could. Mrs.
Hassett was of a melancholy nature
and dreaded poverty to such an extent
that she brooded over it a great deal.
Last Monday several Kickapoo young
men went hunting and as they passed
the Hassett shanty their curiosity was
aroused by finding the doors of the
house wide open. They went close to
the house and saw no signs of life
therein. Their curiosity took them in
side. Lying on a bed was cat curled
up apparently alive, but which investi-
cation showed was dead. It was clear
ly evident that the house had not been
occupied for some time, and people who
knew Mrs. Hassett well are sure that
she committed suicide. It has been
nearly a month since she was seen by
her neighbors. An old well near the
house will be examined for the body.
The Hassett woman was believed to be
insane. Several years ago she built a
fire in the corner of a room and placed
a pot of potatoes there to cook. The
house burned down and she had a mar
row escape from death.

Wealth and Probably Murder.

Fort Worth, Tex, Oct. 81. Y. lin
man, who lives at Eagle Pass, sends
information to a friend here of a rich
gold and silver find having been made
about thirty miles distant from Eagle
Pass in an old Spanish mound. There
was some $163 900 in cash, says Mr.
Zinman, who claims to have aided in
counting the money. The find was
made by two Mexicans and a white
man named Prof. Mooney, whose home
is in England. Mr.. Zinman claims that
Mooney discovered the hidden wealth
by means Of some machinery which he
carries with him, prospecting for gold
and silver. Mooney left with the two
Mexfcans, after first dividing the money
for Old Mexico, since which time no one
has ever heard of him, and the SUPPOSE
ton at Eagle Pass, says Zinman, IS
that the Mexicans murdered the profess
sor, took his money and carefully hid
the body.
Mooney was a prominent Mason and
a member of the Grand Army Of the
Republic.
