STORIES OF THE STREET.
Rock Island People are Talking About 1t
on Every Corner.

1t is sometimes an easy matter to
fool the public, but you can't keep il
up very long. They are sure to find
YOU out, and every time 4 man is
fooled, another skeptic is made.
Skepticism is allowable when reading
in a home newspaper about some in
cident occurring in California or
Maine, but the circumstances are en-
tirely different when it refers to some
one right here at home, friends and
neighbors, people you know. whom
YOU can see and with whom you talk
it over. This is the kind of evidence
at the back of Doan's Kidney Pills
home statements by home people, and
the astonishing local work they have
been doing has caused more talk
among our citizens than the doings of
any other modern wonder. Read the
following:
Mrs. f. c. Clement, of $50 Twenty
fourth street, saws: I'm the winter
of 1897 my kidneys and back began
to trouble me. They gradually be-
came worse, and the following spring
l had soreness in my back all the
time. and when l attempted to lift
anything, no matter how light, or do
any STOPPING, 1 felt kink in my
back. At times 1 had shooting pains
all over my body, and when L laid
down it was almost impossible for me
10 get up. l could not turn over in
bed without suffering excruciatingly.
l learned of Doan's Kidney Pills, and
their being SO highly recommended, l
was induced to try them, and OBJ
tanned a box at Marshall Il Fishers s
drug store. 1 took them as directed,
and gradually the pain began to leave
me. When l had used one box / had
no further treubleg and consider my
self thoroughly and permanently
cured. have the greatest faith in
Doan's Kidney Pills, and l have no
hesitancy in recommending them to
others suffering in IA like manner"

had yet been received from the Philip
pine government. but these were eX-
pected very soon as a guide to the
future movements OF the delegates
Agoncillo, he said, had cabled to the
government announcing their arrival
in Washington. This being known at
home, instructions would be cabled at
once. Until then. Lopez said, there was
no exact line of action to be announced.
1t was hoped that the president would
do them the honor of receiving them.
Speaking of the conditions in the Philip
pines Lopez said the Philippine con-
gress was now conducting the business
of that portion of the country under
Philippine rule with singular ability
and success The meetings had begun
since the departure of the delegates. yet
they were familiar with the character
of those conducting the congress.
They were, he said. men of intelli-
gence and ability, most of them having
received their education in Europe.
Their councils were harmonious and
were conducted with all the require
ments of modern parliamentary usage.
When Lopez was asked as to the re-
ports that the Filipinos were soliciting
help from European governments, he
declared that such reports were utterly
unfounded and unjust. They were act
ing in the most perfect good faith with
the American authorities.

Says He Did sag Things.

Denver, Sept 2S.-Tke court martial
of Rev. Joseph p. Mcintyre on the
charge Of scandalizing the navy in a
lecture delivered in Denver Aug. 8, was
resumed yesterday. Miss Minnie J..
Reynolds, who reported the lecture for
the Rocky Mountain News, was called
10 verify the report published and from
which the extracts contained in the
charges against Chaplain Mcintyre
were taken. She fully corroborated the
report she had written, and which was
introduced as testimony. Cross exam
ination failed to shake her testimony
asserting that he did make the state
mehts enumerated in these dispatches
yesterday. She also testified that
Chaplain Mcintyre declared that the
contracts for all the eastern built bat
tleships were secured through political
pulls, and hence the Oregon. which was
bNiit in the west, was the only one hon
estly built.
Paul w. Beck. who reported the lee
ture for the Denver Times. was next
called. He corroborated the testimony
Of Miss Reynolds regarding the charges
against the prisoner. He also corro-
borated the report published in the
Rocky Mountain News though he de-
clared Chaplain McIntyre's statements

therein.

which the details for the organization
and operation of the convention were
decided upon. The committee did not
however, decide upon any programme
as 10 the platform as ii might relate to
the money plank of the Chicago ma
tional platform. George Palmer, Of
Schoharie. was decided upon as tenn
porary chairman of the convention.
The mass meeting of Chicago plat
form Democrats at the Alhambra last
night was attended by about 5000 peo-
pie, who manifested hearty approval
of the sentiments expressed by the
speakers. These were in effect that the
silver elenent of the party would de-
mand of the convention today that the
Chicago platform be uneQuivocally af-
firmed. and men placed in nomination
who voted for Bryan and Sewall. Henry
NJ. Mcdonald, of New York, chairman
of the executive of the Chicag go platform
organization. charged that the leaders
of the Democracy in the state misrep-
resented the masses, and said: ''If the
Democratic party tomorrow. as report
ed in convention, is not Democratic,
then we have a right to organize DEM
ocratic party" He stated that the sill
yer Democrats of the state had the as
surance from two-thirds of the national
committeeman that such an organiZa-
ton would have the recognition of the
next national convention.

Fire n Fearful Broadside of Questions at
Whom 1t May Concern.
Washington. Sept. 2s.-The freedom
with which the Spanish minister for
foreign affairs. the Duke Almodovar
del Rio. has given publicity to the in
structions 10 the Spanish peace COM
missioners as to the disposition OF the
Philippines has given rise to the sus-
picion among the officials here that
there is behind it a deliberate purpose
to draw out IN advance the position of
the American commissioners on this
most important point. 1t is noted now
that heretofore the Spanish government
has waited upon the United States gov
ernment to make each of the steps to-
ward final peace before making a move
on it's side so that this sudden change
in policy is accounted for only on the
ground stated. There is beside this ap-
parent purpose a veiIed threat in the
last instruction-not under any circum-
stances to allow the United States to
interfere with any disposition of the
islands outside OF those retained by the
United States (such as Luzon) that
Spain may see fit to make.
Thought To BE a Bid to Europe.
This is believed to be an Invitation to
some of the continental powers to step
forward in support of Spain in this ex-
tremity, in the hope of receiving as
quid pro quo some one of the Philip
pines as a coaling or naval station. 1t
the president has nowhere directly ad-
mitted any obligation to the Philippine
insurgents, yet so long as they carry
out their part and avoid a rupture
with our forces at Manila he feels that
in any arrangement that shall be made
by the peace commission for the final
disposition OF the islands the insur-
gents shall not be placed at the mercy
of the Spanish government without
guarantee for their proper treatment.
BY an extension of this same view it is
unlikely that he would care to allow
them to be turned over to another
power that might oppressivety treat
them, especially without the consent of
the natives.
In Regard to Cuban Debt.
Il is noted at the state department
that the Spanish minister for foreign
affairs is reported to have directed the
Spanish peace commissioners Ito make
firm stand regarding the Cuban debt
and the Philippine loan OF 1896, If Luzon
is ceded to America" So far as the
Philippine loan is concerned that sub
Ject might properly come before the
peace commission. But Judge Day. the
president of the American commission.
just before his departure, in answer to
n question as To whether any matters
relative to Cuba would come before the
commission. intimated that no question
touching Cuba in any phase would be
considered by the commission. The un-
derstandirG was conveyed, consequent
ly, that the Cuban debt would figure
in no fashion before the commission, IL
the American commissioners could pre-
vent II.
