The Philippines, the Sulus, the La

There are local disturbances in the

THE STEEL RAIL INFANT.

Those infant industries which, for ten
years, have been Justify calling for
federal assistance and demanding
higher prices at home than they were
willing to accept abroad, are coming
into the open at last.
The steel rail manufacturer put up
the most touching, pitiable plea of any
of them. He cried for government pap
year after year, and there was always
a Morrill, or a Mckinley or a Dingley
to give him the bottle.
The curtain has been torn down by
the ruthless hand of war. 1t reveals
the fraud The voice was that of a
famished babe The figure is that of a
professional giant and strong man.
In the arena of trade he is able to
meet and vanquish all corners. Like
the Turkish wrestler he seeks them out
and boards them in their dens.

$4,000 below the English tender.

CRANKY JUDGE TERRY.
An Original Character Who Can Move
Speaker Reed.
PostN


One of the most striking characters
in the Arkansas delegation in the
house is the grabbed Judge Terry. He
is unquestionably a man of ability, and
his forcible way of getting at things
attracts attention quite as much as his
own picturesque person. Just before
the house adjourned yesterday after
noon Judge Terry, tall and command
ing in his suit of gray, tramped down
the Democratic aisle with a bill in his
hand.
''Mr. Speaker" he roared, without
paying any particular attention to
what the house was doing at the time
Chairman Hull, of the committee on
military affairs, had addressed the
speaker in a much milder tone of voice
and was saying something about the
Reorganization bill.
Mr.. Speaker" roared Judge Terry
az intervals, like the booming of can
non in the buzzing of voices. He
seemed not to notice the fact that the
wheels of the great machinery of the
house had rolled over him once or
twice-a thing that disconcerts less
valorous men than the Arkansan.
Mr.. Speaker continued Judge
Terry in stentorian tones for the eighth
or tenth time.
1.-THE gentleman from Arkansas said
Speaker Reed in his gentlest voice and
with a profound bow toward the man
who had addressed him.
A page snatched the bill from Judge
Terry's hand and the clerk read it at
some length. Tt was for constructing
a bridge across some river that washes
the great state of, Arkansas on one
shore. The prescribed formula for
passing a bill was being gone through
with. Judge Terry stood rather in
differently in the aisle. Speaker Reed
had pronounced the legislative formula
that would put the seal of the houses
approval on the bill, and the clerk was
proceeding to the third reading.
Suddenly Judge Terry swung his
hand to his head in a forcible man
ner. 'Thwack' went the speaker
gavel and the clerk stopped short in
the middle of a sentence.
ooh, nothing" returned the Judge,
laughing, evidently quite pleased that
at last so small a gesture could bring
the house to a standstill. Then the
bill passed.

THE RATIFICATION.

Present indications are that the peace
treaty will be sent to the senate as
soon as congress reassembIes. This will
be done for the purpose of obtaining
early action and clearing the way for
currency reform. If consideration of
the treaty is postponed it will occupy
the time of the extra session, provided
one is called in March, and currency
reform viii be laid upon the table for
an indefinite period.
This is not what the president de-
sires, nor is it the wish of the goldites.
Only those senators who are opposed to
currency reform or believing in it.
hope to evade the issue, care to have
the ratification Of the treaty laid over.
When it reaches the senate it will be
referred to the committee on foreign
relations, to whom the members of the
committee will explain it carefully,
point by point.
The committee will consume not more
than ten days in its review, and the
programme, as outlined by the admin
istration, is to insist upon the final
consideration of the treaty in execu-
tive session, in order to facilitate bust
ness.
one amendment is expected, and, if
presented, it.win probably cause a pro-
longed debate. 1t is an amendment dis
claiming any purpose by the United
States to retain sovereignty in the
Philippines.
An effort viii be made to reject this
and all amendments in order to reach a
decisive vote at the earliest possible
date. The inducement to ratify the
treaty, as reported by the committee,
will be that such action would inspire
more confidence and respect abroad,
While every point Of difference may be
afterwards considered in senate reso-
lutions, submitted and debated after
ratification.
A disclaimer in reference to the Phil
ippines is a domestic concern, anyhow,
and is not necessarily considered in
connection with the international
agreement upon the terms of peace

RioTING AT HAVANA.

Havana is destined to become a beau

province it is known as a city Of evil.
Its American conquerors have found it

Havana needs securing and scrubbing

tenements; it needs physical and moral
cleansing; it will take The hose Of water

American troops have been fired on

blood of freemen was shed at san Juan.
Fortunately none of the United States

Clashes between the Spanish soldiery

are Of daily Occurrences. 1t was while
the troops were trying to suppress a
disturbance Of this kind that the trag-
edy reported in yesterdays newspapers
took place.
The city is said to be seething with
excitement. A reign of terror has been
inaugurated which the American Off
GERS are having a hard time to meet.
These are the inevitable but none the
less deplorable incidents Of the transit
ton between the exit OF the Spaniard
and the entrance of the. American.
Cubans are over anxious to assert
their independence and prove their
prowess with the relaxation of Spanish
rule, even before it is supplanted by the
authority OF the victorious government.

Blackie's Translation,
(New York Trfbunel

The London Chronicle tells a story of
Professor Blackie's election to the chair
OF Greek in Edinburgh The profess
sorship was in the gift of the town
council, and one of the councillors was
the principal of the veterinary college
in the city. He, like most of the cleo
tors, knew no Greek, but, unlike his
colleagues, he possessed a solitary
Greek book, some medical treatise in
an edition of the sixteenth or seven
teenth century, nicely peppered with
contractions. This volume he presented
70 an VINO called to solicit his vote, and
requested them to translate a portion.
Most OF the candidates declined to be
examined. DR.. w. Smith (afterward
