"The Londoners."

In "The Londoners'' Mr.. Robert
Kitchens abandons for the moment his
experiments IN the morbid and grue-
some. and reverts In some degree TO
his earlier manner-that is to say, to
the manner Of 1.-THE Green Carnation."
Unfortunately. he does not Go so in a
thorough-going way. Mr.. Hichens has
never written anything else half SO
good as that first clever book of his,
and, Judging by present Indications, he
never will The portrayal of human
absurdity is quite evidently his forte,
but fat and careless caricature Is
but a poor substitute for the laughing
satire Of which Mr.. Kitchens is-or once
unacceptable. q sss

BABY'S WISDOM.

BABY'S WISDOM.
When mother wakes
Her babe, and breaks
The silence with her speech,
No word of It.
Despite my wit,
Doth my awed reason reach.
ChOctaw and Greek
And verbal freak
OF languages long dead
Did ne'er before,
The wide world Ger,
Such barren nonsense shed.
Yet baby's eyes
Make glad replies,
And baby's tiny hands
Applausive move
To deity prove
How baby understands.
And though my store
OF iingual lore
Is my chief boasts among,
The facts disclose
That baby knows
More of the mother tongue.

RENOMINATED
Former Named by the Democrats and
Latter by the Silver Republicans
POpulists Have Named B. F. Hues,
ton, of Tacoma, for Supreme Judge

ELLENsBURG, Wash. Sept. 9.-The
Democrats renominated James HamiI-
ton Lewis for congress by scclamation.
The Silver Republican convention re-
nominated Congressman w. G.. Jones by
acclamation.
After rejecting all night the Populist
state convention unanimously decided
to concede the demand of the Democrats
and yield them one supreme judge. This
removes all obstacles to fusion. The
clause of the conference report recon-
mending that the Populist have the pa
tronage of the supreme court was strick-
en- out and the report adopted.
A committee was appointed to notify
the Democrats and Silver Republicans.
The convention then proceeded to
nominate supreme judges. B. F. Huee-
ton, of Tacoma, was named for supreme
Judge on the third ballot.

.FILIPINOS BECOM-
ING INSOLENT
So Open is Their Opposition to the
American Authorities That
Serious Rupture is Feared.

New York, Sept. "a dispatch to
the Herald from Manila says:
The attitude of the Philippine insur-
gent leaders is daily becoming more
dangerous. So open is their opposition
to the Anne rican authorities that the
situation is strained and reconciliation
may be difficult.
What makes the situation more
troublesome Is the undisguised rivalry
between the followers of General Agui-
naldo, the f-proclaiIned dictator, and
General Pillar, who covets the honor
which Aguinaldo has acquired.
General PHO Pillar is IN command of
the insurgent troops stationed south CT
Manila. He uses them in way that
is most annoying to Aguinaldo. and at
the same time makes every effort to
show his utter disregard to the Ameri-
can officials. His forces continue to
patrol the city, encouraging lawlessness
in every direction.
Aguinaldo's course is no less annoying.
He no longer attempts to conceal his
hostility to the officials who represent
the United States, and yesterday issued
an order prohibiting his soldiers from
entering the American lines. This
course was probably deemed necessary
in order to prevent them from becoming
so well disposed toward Americans as
TO destroy his power by repudiating his
leadership.
The attitude of the rival leaders can
not fail in the end to iDjure the cause of
Philippine independence. Certainly it
will prevent the presentation of strong
case before the peace commission IN be-
half of the Filipinos.

SENATOR GRAY
THE LAST MEMBER
American Commission to Conclude
Terms of Peace With Spain
Complete.
morrow.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.-It is officially
announced that Senator George Gray,
of Delaware, has been selected as the
fifth member of the Paris peace commits
sion.
This completes the personnel of the
commission, which stands composed as
follows:
Ex-Secretary of State Day, Senators
Frye and Gray and Whitelaw Reid.
In selecting Gray the president has
given democratic representation on the
commission. The appointment probably
will necessitate the retirement of Gray
from the Anglo-American commission,
which is conducting sessions in Canada.
Gray is one of the best-known men in
public life, having been a prominent
figure in the senate for the last twelve
years. He is a member of the senate
committe on foreign relations, thus maxi
ing three members of that committee,
Davis, Frye and Gray, on the peace
commission.
Now that the commission is COM
plete it is expected the American case
will be made up and the commission
given final instructions. The COM
missioners will meet here about Sep
tember 15, prior to sailing for Paris, at
which time they will meet the president
and be made aware in general way of
the views of the administration.

has applied to be assigned to his old
command, the department of California,

The assignment of General Shafter to

with Spain.
There are now 318 patients at the di-
