PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Illinois Manufacturers Want Ports
Opened on Liberal Terms.

Chicago, Aug. 8.-The directors of the
Illinois Manufacturers association at
their meeting here discussed the ques-
ton of future trade relations in the
former Spanish possessions in the Pa
cific ocean, and passed the following
resolutions, a copy of which Secretary
Glenn has telegraphed to President
Mckinley:
Whereas, Negotiations for peace are
now pending between this country and
Spain, in which negotiations the presi-
dent of the United States has outlined
his demands; and,
Whereas, 1t is believed that such ne
gotiations will result in the appoint
ment of commissioners by both coun-
tries for the purpose Of concluding a
treaty of peace; and,
Whereas, 1t is of great Importance to
consequently of equal Importance to all
of its people that the markets of the
world be open to it's manufacturers;
now, therefore, be it
Resolved, Without in any way ex-
pressing an opinion upon the question
of the acquisition of Spanish territory
by this country, that it is the sense of
this association that the president of
the United States be and he is hereby
respectfully requested to instruct those
having in charge for this country the
conclusion of such treaty of peace to
exact that the ports of all Spanish ter
ritory in the Pacific ocean be opened
upon the most liberal terms to all pro-
ducts of American industry.

CREDITS NEGRO SOLDIERS.
Returned officer Says They Won the
Fight at Santiago.

Chicago, Aug. s.-Lieutenant Ralph R.
Stogsdall of the Fourth infantry, who is
now in Chicago cOnValeScent from yellow
fever contracted at Santiago, gives
graphic description of the exposure, SUI
fering and heroism of the American SOL
der in Cuba. He was sent home to re-
cover his shattered health if that is pos
sfble, and is visiting his wifes parents at
1444 King place
The public has very little conception of
the suffering our troops underwent in the
Santiago campaign said Lieutenant
Stogsdau. Landing from the transports
without tents, as the officers did, and no
ried ashore on our backs; starting inland
on empty stOmachS, and making a long,
wearing forced march without food moth
ing but taste of bareback for midnight
supper; rain, rain all night and wet as
spOngeS: sleeping few hours in the mud;
a march without food gain before break
fast; long hot day of stubborn battle in
a sun that smote with fevers where bull
lets did not reach-Such the itinerary
! of our soldiers, and have had all that
relish.
This fight and its fatigues demonstrate
ed with new force that the American reg
ular is the best soldier on earth. 1t is
all right to talk about the Individual
bravery and herOiSm of volunteers, but it
was the discipline of the regulars that
counted. That won the battles. 1t alone
could win against discipline, and the Span
ish soldiers are in a fine state of discip-

advantage over the cOlOred soldier where
discipline is equal between them

Trinket Lost II Years Ago Found in
an Animals Stomach.

Chicago, Aug. S.-Were not truth
stranger than fiction, an enthusiastic
woman who lives in New Mexico
could not press to her bosom the little
gold Maltese cross which she lost II
years ago. The story of the trinket
Out-cIasses the most pretentious fabri-
cation of the Baron Munchausen tales,
but its truth is vouched for by high
authority. 1t appears that when
school girl the woman was awarded
medal by the Fort Worth seminary.
This was in 1881. One day she was rid
ing horseback over the prairie near
Dallas, Texas, and was thrown off her
horse. The mount ran away and in the
confusion Miss Work lost her precious
medal and another similar medal which
she wore that day.
In the stomach of a. COW slaughtered
in ArmOur's plant last week a medal
was found. 1t has subsequently been
identified as the talisman of IL years
ago The history of the trinket's ad-
ventures was brought to light only aft
er advertisements had been published
in the newspapers throughout Texas.
These notices described the medal as
bearing the name Ida May Work, with
the year '1SS1' engraved on the re-
verse side. One of these arrows fired
at random found mark in Albuquer-

SHE HAD KIDNEY COMPLAINT
Her Father Died With It-Here
is the Cure She Took.

Mrs Eliza Woodruff, lady living at
1920 Jackson St, this city says: Il
have never been obliged to use much of
any medicine or employ a physician
until about year and a half ago when
1 was suddenly attacked with pain in
the small of my back over the kidneys.
Shortly thereafter other symptoms de-
veloped which the doctor told me was
the effect of kidney disease. I was
treated by the doctor and took kidney
cures without getting any relief. In
fact the treatment seemed to aggra-
vate rather than allay the trouble.
Some time ago procured a box of your
MorroW'S Kid-neoids at the store of the
Swift & Holiday Drug Co I took them
according to directions receiving relief
in two days. 1 kept taking them right
along until now I am happy to state
that I am perfectly cured, all traces of
the old disease are gone. Ny father
died of kidney disease and feel rea-
sonabIy assured had he known of them
in his day, he too would have been

THE MILITIA QUESTION.
Judge Advocate Holds That the Ma
tionaI Guard is Disorg anized.

Washington, Aug. 8.-Judge Advocate
General Lieber rendered a decision to-
day in which he holds that volunteer
officers commissioned by Governors of
states vacate their commissions in the
state organizations upon being mus
tered into the United States army.
General Lieber's decision is similar
to that rendered by Adjutant General
Tillinghast of New York state several
days ago, which, however, Governor
Black refused to approve.
In General Lieber'S opinion the Ma
tional Guard is thoroughly disOrgan-
lied In fact, the substance of his de-
cision is that the state organizations do
not now exist in fact, and that govern
ors of states have it in their power to
organize new regiments and give out
new commissions, to the detriment of
the volunteers now in the field.
In several states National Guard off,
GERS were granted leaves of absence
during the existence of the war, and a
somewhat similar practice has been OBJ
served in the regular army in cases
leaves to accept commissions in state
organizations. It will be seen, there
fore, that General Leiber's decision, if
followed, would also affect the regular
establishment.
1t is not believed that governors of
states will adhere to the rule, for, in the
opinion of army officers, it would be
disastrous tothe welfare of the National
Guard as we'll as the army. Secretary
Alger has not yet approved the decis-
ion This decision was rendered in the
case of Lieutenant Colonel May of the
District of Columbia National Guard.

WANTED DISCIPLINE.
A Man Asks To Be Confined In a Pen
itentiary For Sixth Months.

Columbus, Ohio, Aug. S.-The most
peculiar request ever preferred to War
den Coffin, of the state prison, was
made to him today. William McClain,
who stated that his home is in Mech
anicsburg, asked that he be locked up
for six months and treated just as any
criminal might be-
Mr.. Coffin was thunderstruck, espec-
tally as the man was well dressed. with
a profusion of jewelry, and all the evil
dence of ready money about him He
had not been drinking, and was not
obviously insane, and Mr.. Coffin de-
manded an explanation. McCIain was
ready with one.
4 have had good time all my life"
said he, land have never tried to do
anything for myself except enjoy my
self. Now I have come to such a, pass
that I can not settle down to work or
steady employment of any kind. 1 am
a nuisance to myself and to my friends.
4 thought this matter all over, and
made up my mind to apply to you. If
you will take me in and lock me up for
a space of six months 1 will sign any
papers you say. 1 want to be treated
Just as a criminal, and will work, eat
and sleep with the common herd. I be-
lieve that in this way can get the dis
cipline I am so sorely in need Of
Mr.. Coffin refused his request, as the
state has never made any provision for
entertaining gentlemen of his descrip-
ton. McCIain left with the declara-
ton that he would land in the prison
before long, in such a way that Warden
Coffin could not turn him out before he
had the experience he wanted.
