1.-THE great and good friend" Of the
Republicans Of the house, who will be
Instantly recognized as Private John
Allen Of Mississippi. is not one OF the
members who revise their speeches with
great care. His efforts appear in The
Congressional Record in all their spon-
taneity, the original wit and humor be-
ing Just the same for the reader in black
and white as they were for the specta-
tors in the galleries and the statesmen
at their desks. So when Mr.. Allen
speaks in his humorous way one is not
disappointed to find in The Record next
morning: "Mr. Allen of Mississippi ad-
dressed the committee. His remarks
will appear hereafter. y
Men Who Change Their Remarks.
In this respect Mr.. Allen is unique
among the offhand speakers of the
house. Many who indulge themselves
at the expense of the other political
party prefer to edit ont any statements
that might provoke unfavorable crltl-
cism or prove an undesirable record.
Even Jerry Simpson, who sails in and
slashes right and left among the enc
mics of Populism, restraints himself by
reserying his speeches until he can SLEEP
over them and conclude what might
look we'll in print So "the Tall Pine,
as Representative Cy Sulloway of New
Hampshire is known, reserved his pom
derous but caustic remarks about civil
service, which were kind of dime mu-
seum attraction for his hearers at the
time, and when they appear in The
Congressional Record they will be trim
med down to somewhat choicer Yankee

TOPICS OF TODAY.

CHANGES IN PHILIPPINE TRADE.
Ii the Philippine Islands are to be-
come part of the United States their
acquisition will probably cause quite a
radical change in our trade relations.
Heretofore the main article of import
from the Philippines has been hemp.
This il the source of our rope. twlne
and cordage supply, and about half OF
the hemp. sisal and MANILA grown IN
the Philippines annually finds mar
ket in this country. But it must not
be inferred that hemp is he principal
product Of The Philippines by any
means. The Manila tobacco is Justly
celebrated the world over. and is ratei
next to the finest HaIana. That to-
baeeo, however, is controlled by a
Spanish monopoly. and very little OF
it ever reaches the United States.
While millions OF dollars worth OF to-
baseO and sugar are sent TO Europe by
the Spanjards in the Philippines,
American markets are practically clos
cd against them. The United States
imported only $4,000 worth Of Manila
tobacco last year.

AN ADVANCE AGENT.

Whatever may be his merits as a
warrior, Prince Henry of Prussia seems
TO have undeniable talent as a diplo-
mat. The inroads he made on the
conservatism not only OF the Chinese
empire, but even upon that of the en-
press dowager, inaugurates a wonder
ful change in the customs Of the an
Gent empire. PRINCE Henry may be an
advance agent OF civilization after all.

Have Well Drilled Force.

The president has issued a call for
10000 volunteers. This means the in
vasion of Cuba. the taking of Porto
Rico, the dispatch of larger army to
the Philippines than has BEFORE been
considered and reserve army at

COED IN INDIA

By the issue of gold notes against
deposits of specie in the Bank of Eng
land India is virtually established on a
gold basis. The rupee has steadily ad-
vanced in value and attained the par
fixed by the Herschell commission. The
greatest obstacle TO the plan promul-
gated in 1898 for the reformation Of
the Indian currency has therefore been
overcome, contrary to the expectations
of many British economists.

according to the census of 1890. The largest allotment will be to New York State, which will be required to furnish Il, 1000 men. The Governors are given power to designate the regiments of the present National Guards to be called out and the loca- tion in which other organizations are to be recruited. Each Governor will also have entire charge of enlisting and recruiting his quota.
 As soon as recruits are mustered into the national service they will be sent to a rendezvous which has been selected in each State and will be or ganized and their company and regi- mental officers appointed by the Gov ernor, and will then be turned over to the Secretary of War. He will, un- der the supervision of the President, combine them into brigades and di- visions and select their general and staff officers. In many States volun- teer troops will be at their rendez- vous and ready to be assigned to their ultimate destination within week from the time they are called out. In other States, where dis tances are greater and methods of travelling slower, it may be month before the Governors report their al- lotments ready for the front.
 The volunteer and regular troops will be assembled together in the South when the regular army shall have been recruited up to its full lawful strength and the militia shall have been completely organized and equipped. Four army corps will then be formed, and these corps will be divided into divisions and brigades formed of regular and volunteer regi- ments.
 It is understood that there will be one regular and two volunteer regi- ments to brigade. The maximum strength of an army corps so formed

 KEY WEST, April 23.-Two more prizes have been taken by Captain Sampson's fleet under the guns of Morro Castle. The Spanish steamship Pedro, loaded with rice, iron and beer, was the vessel captured last night, just as she was leaving Havana har- Dor to go to Santiago de Cuba. She was loading when Captain Bonet learned that the fleet had been sighted. He feared that Havana was to be bombarded, and started out to sea.
 He was not quick enough. The men on the flagship New York sighted him
