Chicago. Dec. ia dispatch from

Having failed to command sufficient
votes to prevent the ratification Of thu

now propose 10 organize for permanent
opposition to colonial policy and t6
secure the establishment of fndepend
ent governments in Cuba, Porto Rice

sire that the issue for the next cam
paign shall he: "Shnll the United
Stafes have colonies, or shall we cut
loose from the Philippines and the
West Indies ms soon MS we have organ
lied governments for them?"
This is Mr.. Bryan's plan. and he ad
vocated IL with great earnestness
among the Democratic leaders during
the two or three days he spent in
Washington. He abandoned the fight
against the treaty with great reluct.
ance. II took long time to convince
him there was no use In adopting an
issue that could not win. and that to
be defeated on such an Important mat.
ter would damage him for the next
campaign. II 1t did not deprive him OF
leadership.
Among the Democrats and Populists
who are going to vote for the treaty are
Bryan's best friends including Allen
of Nebraska. Butler, Cannon, Gray
Jones OF Nevada. Kyle. Lindsey, Ba-
con. Clay McEnery, McLaurin. Nor
gan. Murphy, Pettls. Teller. Turner,
Turney. and several others who have
not yet announced their intentions.
This new issue will necessitate new
alignment of parties. for many ardent
advocates OF expansion are Democrats.
The people here are very few who be-
lieve that there will be any other issue

paign. The new alignment of the peo-
pie of the United States on this issue

General Aguinaldo, who has been nj

then visited Paterno, and now, it is re-

Omaha. Ncb., Dec. 27.-The announce
ment that the directory OF all the In
terests OF the Chicago & Northwestern
Railroad Company has decided to
cease employing women and to dis
pense with the services OF those Mt
present on their pay rolls has created
CONSERVATION In this part Of the
country. While there are mt least fivc
times as many men In the service Of

as women, the discharge Of SO many
living and having no one to rely upon
for their support is regarded as a seri-

This rule Will affect the women en-

Chicago, st Paul. Minneapolis & Oma-

The number of women employed on
these various lines west OF the Mis-
sonri river will run into the thousands.
When Horace G. Burt became presi-
dent Of the Union Pacific 1t was an
nounced that no more women would
be employed by that company, and
while no women could be discharged
TO make places for men, when any OF
them quit their places would be filed
by men. This provoked some uneasi-
ness among the women connected with
the Union Pacific at headquarters ani
along the line. but II did not cause that
degree of alarm that now pervades the
ranks Of the female employees Of the
Northwestern lines.
The order mt first was that no woman
would be discharged who had been In

two years. but later the order appears

the lines OF these companies west of

Especially is this true OF stenograph-
