without the resources for gaining
notoriety, and he soon became
publicly known; with impressive
force by some.
He was skilled in the decoIete
art Of appearing finely, and his
trim figure and well fitting, neatly
kept clothes attracted attention,
especially his own. Being a stu
dent Of physiology when in his
youth he eagerly accepted the
aphorism Emusic hath charms to

ing logical in his mental equip

also have a happy effect on thu

AS before stated he has been in

most important question at issue.
Being unable to argue, Police

cellent judge OF such matters was

patient at the slowncss with which
the administration Cuban policy
IS developing, and anxious to hur-
ry it up a little. An intimation OF
their feelings has been given the
| President. The Senate has so Of
ten shown its sympathy for Cuba
that there is little doubt OF the sue
cess OF a motion to postpone inde-
finitely the consideration of the
Hawaiian treaty, if it were made
in connection with a statement nat
it was done to help Cuba.
President Dole of Hawaii has
now been in Washington nearly a
week, the guest Of the Nation. On
every side he is praised for the dis
Greet manner in which he conduct
ing himself, naturally deeply in
terested in seeing the annexation
treaty ratified, he asks no ques-
tons of the Senators who call on
him: contenting himself with Civ
ing full information in reply to
questions asked him. He shows
wisdom, for the least bit of offici-
business on his part in behalf of
annexation would be exploited by
the anti's as offensive meddlesome-
ness.
The moral cowardice displayed
by some Senators in the votes upon
the several amendments to the
Teller resolution, declaring bonds
payable in silver at the option Of
the government, (which was adopt
ed by a majority Of fifteen, was
not calculated to increase the es-
TEEN felt for them by their con-
stitutents. Although TO vote
against the Tellar resolution was
in effect to endorse the present pol
icy of paying bonds in gold, there
were only twenty Senators
willing to go on record as voting
for the Lodge substitute, which
specifically stated that all bonds
should be paid in gold or its equiv
aIent, while thirty-two voted
against the Teller resolution. Can
anybody blame the constituents
of the six senators who voted
against the Teller resolution and
either declined to vote or voted
against the Lodge substitute for
calling them financial hair-split-
tiers. The Congressional Record,
containing the votes in detail on
the Teller resolution and the
amendments offered thereto is
likely to be carefully studied in
more than one State, and to make
trouble for more than one Senator.

(Our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Jan. 81, 1898.


The President and the leaders OF
the several parties in Congress are
lust now engaged in playing the
old and fascinating game OF poll
tics. The silver men have been
making their plays with the object
of making the Congressional cam
paign a square fight between sill
yer and gold, and for time the
administration appeared to be
willing to aid them in bringing
that result about. But there has
been a change, and now the ad-
ministration has made plain it
purpose Of sticking to the Interna-
tional Bimetallism Plank Of the
ST. Louis platform, at the same
time declaring its intention to
maintain the present gold stand
ard until international bimetallism
is secured. OF course the silver
men say that this is merely an at
tempt to befuddle the issue. The
Senate which is controlled by sill
yer men, fired it's first broadside
when it adopted the Teller Reso-
luton. 1t was at first intended
that this resolution should be
quietly smothered in the House,
but upon consideration the Repub-
lican leaders decided that as an
Offset to the action of the Senate,
the resolution must be defeated by
vote of the House, and that ac-
ton was taken today. The silver
Republican Senators have decid-
ed that the country must have
some explanation of their support
of the Teller resolution, and they
will be given through speeches on
the floor of the Senate. So fresh
flood of financial oratory may be
expected, Is it is not likely that the
other side will allow the talking to
be monopolized by the explainers.
The Cuban situation in Congress
was eased for the time to a marked
extent by the sending of the war
ship to Havana, but the advocates
of action are getting restless again
under the numerous reports that
the warship was merely trick to
gain further time, and they may
start some sort of a movement any
day.
There is a disposition on the
part of this government in hehalf
of Cuba not to allow a vote to be
taken on the treaty for the annex
alton of Hawaii until the admins
tration has made a palmer show
ing of its Cuban policy. Nothing
positive has been agreed upon,
but it is significant that the Sena-
tors who are agitating the matter

being burned in most horrible manner, and

ruins.
Dir. Bernard Stouter was engaged at work
IN the shop, He was running the enameling
oven. Suddenly there was loud report,
caused by the explosion of q CAROLINE tank.
Mr. Stouters clothing caught fire and soon
be was enveloped in flames. He ran to a
pond, which was short distance away from
the scene of the accident, and jumped into
the water, thus extinguishinff the flames. A
physcian was summoned at once, who ad-
ministefed medical assistance, which some
what alleviated the young mans sufferings.
Mr., Stouter was terribly burned about the
head, arms and body.
The shop caught fire and in short time
was burned to the ground, with all its con-
tents

These statements of DR.. Poor dispose
of tour erroneous assertions which have
crept into various newspaper articles.
They are:
Tirst--That Manila time is eleven
hours behind or later than that OF
Washington. Instead, it is thirteen
hours ahead.
Second-That the imaginary line
which marks the beginning Of new
day is an irregular one in the Pacific
Ocean very neat the eastern coast OF
Asia, Instead it follows closely the
l80th meridian.
Third-That this line for new day
was so irregular in circling around the
Philippines as to make Hong Kong
time day ahead of that of Manila,
though but six hundred miles away.
Instead, the actual difference is a mat
ter of half hour, and the same day
rules in both places.
Fourth-That because of this last
assertion the battle of Manila bay was
really fought on Saturday, according to
Manila time, though the news reached
Europe and America on Sunday. Dewey
fought on Sunday, May 1, Manila time,
not on Saturday, April 80. Manila time

"That the obligation to sanctify Sun

is the rev called will of God, binding upon all
men.
THAT this obligation does not conflict
with the duties of patriotism or with any

civil or military, social or political, and that
it is the highest patriotism to preserve our
American Christian Sabbath through all the
excitements and temptations incident to war.
THAT we especially protest and warn
against violations of this obligation in buy

substituting for themes appropriates to this

or naval reviews or exhibitions, and in
ordering unnecessary work by the civil

Correct Time Of Manila.

Since the battle of Manila bay there
have appeared many conflicting and
confusing statements regarding the diff
ference in time between the Philippines
and the United States. Some Of the
statements have been most extrayagant
and far.fetched.
DR.. Charles Lane Poor, astronomer
of the Johns Hopkins University, says
that Manila time is ahead of Washing
ton by IS hours, - minutes and 2 sec.
onds. His authority for thus statement
is the American Ephemersis and Nau.
teal Almanac for 1898, published by
the government. The same authority
says that Hong Kong time is IL hours,
"A minutes and SO seconds ahead of
Washington, or about % minutes
slower than that of Manila.
The point at which new day begins,
according to DR.. Poor, is on the merid.
ian which is 1902 from Greenwich, or
half way around the globe from the
English observatory which governs
time and geographical measurements.
There are, however, few local depart
ures from this rule on some of the small
islands Of the Pacific.
