FOR A TRIPLE ALLIANCE
Senator Davia, of the Peace Commisslon
Says America, England and japan
Should Get Together

London, Dec. 13-The Paris CORE
spondent of the Daily Mail summarizes
an interview he had with United States
Senator Cushman K. Davis. of the
peace commission, who advocates
triple alliance between the United
States, Great Britain and Japan. The
correspondent says:
Mr.. Davis declared that American and British
interests in the far east run quite parallel, and
that. therefore, the two powers should act joint
ly. Il am not appealing to sentiment" he said,
though blood is thicker than water and this
argument should not be ignored Nv thesis
in favor OF cooperation Is borne out by the
coolest logic. I favor a treaty of alliance
including the United States, Great Britain and
Japan for the protection OF all their interests
north OF the equator. The rest Of the world
would have wholesome fear, synonymous
with respect for US" He proceeded to argue
that Russia, Germany and France had secured
the great bulk of the commercial benefits 10
China to the exclusion Of both the United
States and England He suggested that such
q dreibund could have nothing to fear from
any coalition OF other nations and that
therefore, it would tend to preserve the
peace There are still % years OF vigorous
fight in England" said Davis, (which shows
no signs of decrepitude, while strong as Amer
lea is, it will take several hundred years to =
velop her promise and potency. I do not see
why other nations should object to the alliance
II they do, let them. Germany al
ready by special legislation has i'm
mensely injured Americas commercial
interests German-Americans regret this at
titude on the part of the mother country. So
far as the Philippines are concerned there will
be an open door, but not free trade. Our pro-
any nation and the local needs OF our new ter,
ritories will be considered"

EDUCATION OF INDIANS.
Mas Reel, superintendent OF Indian
schools, Urges Comnu sorry Education
More Attention to Manual Traiuing.

Washington, Dec. 13.-Miss Reel.
superintendent of Indian schools, in
her annual report makes a strong plea
for the industrial feature of educa-
tional work among the Indians. In
her report she says:
The government has upon its various reServa-
lions about $50 day and boarding schools, in
which there are over 2,U00 teachers employed.
The government has no. yet adopted compul-
sorry measures for the education Of the Indian
children, and the fact is that the
dark skinned sons OF the forests do not
take to education very readily Some res
ervations withhold the rations until the
parents place their children in the schools.
and SO strong is the opposition to this that
many families have held out against it until
their families were on the verge Of starvation.
But this feeling is not general, and during the
past year the attendance percentage was very
fair.
Industrial education and the neces-
sity of furnishing employ ment for the
Indian student upon his return from
school are dwelt upon. Compulsory
education and more attent ton to man.
ual training are strongly urged.

E, MR.. BAILEY'S POLICY.
Democratic Leader Comedies That the Phil

: In Good Legislation.

Washington, Dec. 13.-If Mr.. Bailey
continues to lead the house minority
the democratic policy in the house as
to the Philippines is fixed. He said:
The situ,tion must be met as 1t arises The
Philippines are to be annexed and Of course
congress must legislate with reference to them.
Although l. am unalterably opposed to their
annexation and deeply regret the necessity of
any legislation in respect to them. still am
anxious that whatever legislation may be nec-
essary shall be as wise as possible
As know that CONGRESS is not now sufficient
~ informed about either the country or the
people to legslate intelligently with reference
TO them, am willing to see the matter go over
until the first session Of the next congress in
order that we may obtain in the meantime such
Information as we can

INCREASE OF THE ARMY.
Gen. Miles Appears Before tho House Conn
mittee on Military A6sirs-FavOrs
Fixed Army Standard.

Washington. Dec. 13.-Mai Gen. Miles
appeared yesterday before the house
committee, ON military affairs for. q
hearing relative to the proposed re-
organization and increase of the army
Two bills for this purpose are pend
Ing, one drawn by Gen. Miles and in-
troduced in the senate as the Hawley
bill and another introduced in the
tary committee. At the outset Gen.
Miles addressed himself to the general
need of increasing the army without
reference to either bill He said he
had always favored the establishment
of a fixed standard for the army. The
experience of the last year,
he said, had demonstrated that our
present military establishment was
inadequate to maintain our position
as a first-class power It was necessary
now to consider both our military re-
quirements at home and those in our
new colonial dependencies abroad, and
also the rapidly increasing demands
made by our sea coast Notifications.
The latter, as far as completed, required
some 1875 batteries of artillery and
when the entire increase in coast de-
lenses was completed S65 batteries
would be required. The war with
Spain had shown pretty clearly how
many men would be required. Gen.
Miles said. The war had required 52.-
900 men for actual field operations at
various points. OF these $4,000 men
went to Manila. 20, 600 to Gu ba and TO-.
900 to Porto Rico. These were men
actually in. the presence of the hostile
enemy. Since then there had been re-
Inducements for garrison and other
purposes. At the same time the
general pointed out the necessi-
ties at home must not be over
looked. The entire frontier had
been stripped of troops during the
late war and complaints were coming
In that the lives of families and the
property of those along the frontier
were jeopardized by this condition.
In particular there were fears of an
outbreak in the Sioux country because
of the absence Of troops It was not
desirable, therefore, so to withdraw
our forces from the frontier as to leave
them defenseless or to invite disorder.
These considerations, said Gen. Miles,
had led him to recommend q standard
of one soldier for 1000 population at
home, with native troops on a basis of
two native soldiers for every 1000 pop.

A FATAL EXPLOSION.
Five Men Lose Their Lives in a Penn
sylvania Coal Mine.

Tamaqua, Pa, Oct. 14-Five men were
killed and eleven injured by an explosion
of gas in colliery No. at Coaldale, near
here.
The dead are:
Fire Boss Thomas Smith.
William Reese.
Maths OLarkey of Coaldale.
William Cook.
John Konicka of Lansford.
All were married and leave large fami-
lies.
The colliery has a capacity of over 500
600 tons of coal and employs 500 hands. In
consequence of fire which originated in
the left section of the mine some months
ago, shifts of men were put to work driv-
ing holes from the gangway, through which
water was run to be forced upon the
flames.
While the men were building a dam to
back UP the water the gangway caught
fire. Nearly a hundred thousand gallons
Of water was, turned into the holes and al
most instantly a terrific explosion occur
red, followed in quick succession by four
lighter explosions of such force that the
gangway was torn up for over 300 feet and
the workmen were blown about in all di-
recuions. Rescue gangs were put to work
and an hour later it was thought that all
the dead and injured had been found, al
though the fire was still burning The
holes forced volumes of escaping gas from
some of the old workings back upon the
flames causing the explosion

ORCHARD IN FULL BLOOM.
Larnsd Presents a Strange HorticuI-
tura1 Phenomenon.

Larned. Kan, Oct. 14.-Some rather
unusual horticultural and vegetable
curiosities are to be seen in this city
at present. Pear, cherry and peach
trees are in full bloom in J. J. Stock
mans yard, While the vegetables in T.
W. Stones garden have taken a second
growth, cabbage producing one, and, in
some instances, two new heads on the
old stalks, and pea and bean vines, that
were long ago supposed to be dead
throwing out new growth and blooms.
The freaks have been the talk of the
town for several days, and in most
cases people have to see them before
they will become convinced that they
actually exist.
The most tenable theory advanced to
account for this unusual display of the
horticultural and vegetable kingdom is
that the situation in which it occurs is
on a gentle slope, which became dry
during the heat of the summer. and
which has, through being moistened by
the fall rains, produced conditions sim
liar to those which exist in early spring
Probably the high altitude and rarifed
air of this section have something to do
with it.

NEGROES SENT BACK.
Gov. Tanners Orders Prevent
Their Stopping at Virden.

Virden, Oct. 1.-THE excitement of
Wednesday, prior to the arrival of the
negro train. was equalled last night
when it became known that a train
consisting of one box car, three ap
parently empty coaches and a caboose
that passed through here at 5:25 bore
two car loads of negroes taken through
here to Springfield the previous day
The train went south and succeeded in
passing through Virden without inter-
ference. A big crowd of miners was
at the station, but the militia held them
in check.
When the train stopped at the stock
ade, Captain FEWER, who was in com
mand, shouted: Don't allow any one
to disembark from that train"
The gate was opened and a file of
soldiers rushed out on the double quick
with fixed bayonets and lined up along
Lukins made a formal request that
their employees be allowed to land and
enter the stOckade. Captain FEWER de-
clined to grant this. Then Manager
Lukins put it in the form of demand
but the officer replied that he was un-
der orders from Governor Tanner to
prevent the disembarking of any negro
miners at the works, and that he would
have to carry out these instructions.
General Manager Lukins protested in
vain and the train pulled out, headed
south.
BY this time the advance guard of
strikers gathered at the depot had adj
vanced up the track to within 100 yards
of the stockade. The presence of armed
blue coats in the lookout boxes evident
ly halted them as they remained there
until the train passed, when they greet
ed it with waving hats and cheers for
Governor Tanner, who, they believed
had been instrumental in starting the
blacks on their homeward journey.
After the departure of the train Mr.
Lukins made this statement:
when this special train carrying the
blacks arrived this afternoon at the
mine, the troops, under orders from
Governor Tanner, refused to let them
get off the train and they were COM
PEELED to go through.
4 protested to the captain in COM
mand of the guard at the mine against
this action and told him there was no
law except the law of force. that would
justify this action. He replied that he
had strict orders from the governor not
to permit the blacks to land and that
he was compelled to follow instruc-
tons"

Eastern Bondholders Desire to Col
Iect Bonds in Dispute.

Hill City, Oct. 1.-THE city of Hill
city has been sued by the Corning es-
tate of Rochester, N. Y, on $4,000 or
city refunding bonds. The interest ac-
crued and unpaid runs the amount up to
about $4,000. The contention on the
part of the city is that the bonds were
not regularly issued. The case IS set
for the December term of the U ;.
circuit court at Topeka The tax pay
ers here are very indignant and will
fight the case. If judgment is taken
against the city, there win be an orga-
nized movement started to force a
compromise by the people refusing to
pay taxes. Then the bond holders will
be compelled, in order to protect their
interest to keep up taxes and other eX-
penses for nine years before they can
get absolute title to the property avail

want to repudiate their Indebtedness,

sued and the city did not get any direct
benefit of any note out of the proceeds
of the bonds. vet they have offered to
compromise for 80 cents on the dollar.
Taxes are now about 8 per cent and
