Mr.. Teller Says It Is No New

TO Acquire Territory From a

Philippines.

e eminent They Want and Give
1t to Them.

a. WASHINGTON. Dec. 21.-The senate
passed few minor measures, including
the house resolution for holiday re-
cess, after which Mr.. Teller Of Colorado
made speech on the Hoar resolution
regarding the Philippines. .... B..
Mr.. Teller, in the course of his re-
marks. said that the purchases of terri
tory from Mexico, after the Mexican
war, was parallel with the present pur-
chase from Spain. In this case Mex
leo was PROSTATE at our feet, and we
said we want some of your territory.
and we will pay for it. We held it first
by conquest and then by purchase"
No matter what was the provocation
of the war, that was the case. It was q
great and grand acquisition, he said,
second only to the Louisiana purchase
which made the Mexican purchase pos:
sible. This was what we proposed to
do with Spain. We had conquered her
and now proposed to purchase some of
territory and pay her $4,000, GOO, mere
bagatelle.
Mr.. Teller said he would ask the peo-
pie of the Philippines what they wanted
in the way of government and give it to
them. The sooner the people governed
themselves the better. He believed the
people of Luzon capable of self govern
ment. In answer to a question by Mr..
Tillman he said we would not permit
revolutions like those which occurred in
South America.
Mr.. Teller read letter from Admiral
Dewey, saying that the people of the
Philippines can be easily governed. He
also read portion of letter from an
army officer to the same effect.
In Admiral Dewey's letter he said
that he had not the slightest difficulty
in dealing with the Filipinos.
Mr.. Teller said that he would have
the people given ali the encouragement
possible, and if they developed qualities
of statehood he would grant them that.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Teller's
speech, Mr.. Elkins called up the bill re-
lating to American registry of wrecked
foreign vessels. .....
AT : o'clock the Nicaragua canal bill
was taken up.

No Small Change.

Dean Monahan relates an incident
which illustrates the absence Of small
change in the early days of Kansas. In
1868 he went into the postoffice at Hays
City, threw down quarter and asked
for a postage stamp. "Want only one:"
queried the postmaster. "Only one, - re-
piled the novelist, whereupon the post
master handed him a stamp and raked
in the quarter Don't get any
changer demanded Monahan. Change,
hill" replied the government official
1--WE have no change in these parts
smaller than a. quarter"
And this was strictly true. In Hays
City the smallest coin known was the
25 cent piece. A glass of beer sold for a
quarter, and the same charge was made
for a pound of crackers or cigar. 1t is
related in the early annals Of the town
how the saloon and dance hall keepers
held an Indignation meeting to, take &C
ton in the case Of new man who adj
vertised to sell two glasses of beer for a
quarter. The meeting resulted in the de-
parture of the innovator for pastures
new. AS late as 1874 there was store
in Hays City which never gave any
change smaller than the 25 cent piece.
If the custo.ler had. say, 10 cents COM
ing, he was e liberty to help himself to
glass of whisky from a barrel which
stood in the corner, but he need not ex-
pect his dues in money. kansas City

Cause of the Recent Indian Outbreak as

Cause of the Recent Indian Outbreak as
Reported by Government Agents.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10. Special
AGENTS Pa1ke and Schwartze of the
general land Office, who have been in
vestigatlng the logging Of the dead and
down timber on the coded lands of the
Chippewa reservation in Minnesota,
have made their report to Commissioner
Hermann. They say the charge that
the logging operations on the Leech
Lake reservation were largely the cause
of the Indian outbreak fails of confrma-
ton and that the cause of the war orig
mated fully 40 years ago. 1t is well
known, they say, that the war was used
. by influential lu1n bermen, disappointed
applicants for logging permits, and
halfbreed disturbers to befog the
situation and say. the real trouble was
the unfulfilled promises, r
The agents found no instance of Indians
being unfairly treated or refused work;
that 30 per cent of the loggers were In
dams, they receiving 81 day, while the
whites got only $1S a month; that at tho
last settlement 81 per cent of their labor
bill was paid and more will be, and that
the $25, 600 and upwards earned by these
Indian laborers last winter is worth
more to them, the tribe and the govern
ment than the value of all the logs cut.
The report says that the fullbloods who
have adopted civilized ways and are
practically halfbreeds are satisfied with
the present timber system, and, if not
nterfered with, four-ffths of the In
dams are stated to
Favor Logging This Season,
which the agents recommend. The
agents, however, say that many full
bleods, emboldened by the result of the
recent outbreak, say there will be no
logging. At Leech Lake Chief Red
Blood threatened to remove all outfits
from the reservation, and if the loggers
commence operations the Indians will
follow suit. AT the White Earth reser
vation Chief Bay-ke-no-wash is max
ing similar threats concerning that
reserve. He claims that there is
compact between the White Earth,
Leech Lake, Cass Lake and Red Lake
Indians to prevent logging They are
likely to cause trouble, according to the
agents, if they are not made to realize
that the close of the recent war with
them was not brought about through
any fears of the government
