Ger OF AbH
Denver. Feb. IA special to the
Republican FROM Washington says.
The silver forces are In high spirits
They have every confidence that they
win win in the coming congressional
elections. Reports from states where
work has been pushed to secure the
cooperation OF forces Indicate that In
most instances the plans Of the Lead
ers here IN Washington will be sue
cessful The most gratifying report
received by the silver men is from
Utah. where the opposition 10 Frank
Cannon In the Democratic ranks was
80 pronounced that II looked for a
time as n the silver parties In that
state could not unite and that the ef-
fort to return Cannon would not be
successful The Democrats insisted
upon running candidate OF their own
and told the silver leaders here that
the position OF the national Democ-
racy on the silver question was such
as TO insure Democratic matorities
and the election of Democrat 10 the
House and TO the Senate. II Is be-
lteved from the reports Just received
that satisfactory arrangement VIII
be made and that Cannon win have
the support OF all the silver parties.
This has been brought about by the
assistance promised the Democrats In
other states. notably In Wyoming.
where II Is proposed and seems agreed
upon that all silver parties viii sup
port a Democrat TO succeed Clark.
The silver parties win also support
Democrats In California and Oregon
for the Senate. There is We; some
trouble In Montana Hartman. a Sill
yer Republican. Is sure OF being re-
turned 10 the House, but Mantle. Sill
yer Republican. is meeting with some
opposition in his fight for the Senate.
The Democrats say they have a large
percentage OF the silver vote and that
they ought TO have representatives IN
the national Legislature. Besides.
they say that Mantle voted for the
tnriff bill and they cannot make Dem
ocrnts support him. The silver forces.
however, say that some adjustment
can be made. They hope II will not be
necessary to sacrifice any OF the
friends of silver In Congress. because
they believe that success can be
achieved with men who have been
tried and who have experience. In
Colorado II is said that SO far moth
ing has developed to disturb the pro-
gram OF returning Shafroth and Bell,
who are considered so strong In their
districts that they viii be available
for campaign work In other states.

ARRIVAL OF FILIPINOS
Representatives of the Insurgents Arrive
in This City.
Their Reception by the President
Being Considered - Gen. Greene
Returns From Manila.

General Francis V. Greene, who was
distinguished services in the invasion OF
the Philippines, accompanied by his per-
scnal staff, and the delegates from the
Philippine insurgents, arrived here this
afternoon from Chicago, and went to the
Arlington Hotel.
The two Filpinos are Philippe Agoncillo
and Jose Lopez They are the personal
representatives of the insurgent Aguinaldo,
and are on their way to Paris to secure
representation on the Spanish
peace commission with view to the recog-
nition CT the insurgent government in the
hilippines.
Gen. Greene and staff called at the adju-
tant generals office this afternoon and
were escorted to the White House by Gen.
Corbin for talk with the President. The
Philippine delegates are desirous of con-
ferring with the President of the United
States, and the question of their reception
was under consideration at the State De-
partment this afternoon.
There is 40 doubt that the President will
grant them an audience in their personal
capacity. He will, however, avoid any ac-
ton that would tend to commit this gov
ernmert to the recognition of the insurgent
government pending conclusion Of peace
conditions with Spain.

SAY THEY ARE DANGEROUS.
Suburban Residents Desire Repair of
Important Roads.

Messrs. C. C. Lancaster, Geo. A. Armes
and Robt. W. Fleming today presented the
following petition to the District Commits
sioners:
"On behalf of the Citizens Northwest
Suburban Association, composing the tax
payers west of Rock Creek Park, we de-
sire to call your special attention to the
surface condition of our streets and public
roads. especially Connecticut avenue, Wis
consin avenue, Woodiey road, Pierce Mill
road and Grant road The present condi-
ton of these highways renders travel dam
gerous to vehicles and pedestrians, being
filled with ruts and covered by large,
sharp pointed stones. which render these
roads almost impossible.
LAS these highways are largely frequent
ed not only by the resident property own
ers but by the public at large, we earnest
ly request that you will direct that they be
repaired and put in good condition without
delay. Time is an important feature in
this matter, and the repairs should not be
put off until the bad weather of the fall
sets in. We suggest that these roads
should be surfaced with gravel as far as
the appropriation win permit and thorough
ly rolled. Our taxpayers have suffered
from this Inconvenience for several months
and we trust that you will appreciate the
interest we take in this matter and speedily
grant the relief prayed"
