Queen Regent signs the Measure Ac-
cepting the Protocol-No Fur
Their Opposition.

Washington. Sept. 15.-In official
quarters much satisfaction Is eN-
pressed over the reports from Madrid
that the lower house of parliament
had passed the government bill ac-
cepting the terms OF the protocol. The
upper house already has passed this
measure, so that the last fear of leg
islatiye opposition TO the transfer OF
Cuba, the Ladrones and Puerto Rico
Is over. The authorities here feel that
this carries them by n danger point,
as il has been feared for some time
that the animosities in the Spanish
cortes would lead to the defeat of the
Sagasta ministry on the question OF
evacuating the Spanish islands, either
In one branch or the other.
There is little doubt that general
line OF policy was agreed upon be-
tween the president and his cabinet
ut their meeting late Wednesday aft
ernoon, but there is good reason for
believing that the assertion that the
decision was definitely In favor OF not
permitting Spain under any condi-
tions TO retain sovereignty in any part
of the Philippine islands is based on
a misconception. The members of
the cabinet and members of the peace
commission refuse absolutely TO dis
cuss the subject with newspaper men,
and. therefore, whatever is said is
7 based more or less on Inference or
roundabout Information.
1t is not doubted that the commits
sion will start the negotiations at

Thirty-Five Thousand Miles
of Calico.

There is enough calico made in the United
States every year TO make sash which
would go completely around the earth with
10000 miles OF material left for bow; ihe
great popularity OF this fabric is justified by
the fact that the goods known as Simpsons
Prints are OF the highest standard OF
quality and finish. The colors are absolutely
fast and will not fade nor will the goods bex
come limp with washing and wringing, and
as the material is cheap and exceedingly
pretty, there is little wonder that many
millions of yards are used annually in the
dresses OF women and children.
