 Insurgents Ask For Representation at
 the Paris Peace Commission.
 Manila, Aug. 3.-Major General wes- ley Merritt, who has been in command of the American land forces in the Phil- fppines, left yesterday on the China for Hongkong. whence he will proceed to Paris to give the members of the peace commission the benefit of his knowl- edge about affairs in the Philippines.
 General Merritt prior to his depar- ture abandoned his policy of ignoring the existence of General Aguinaldo. leader of the insurgents. He decided to grant General Aguinaldo's request that he be permitted to send repre- sentative with General Merritt.
 Upon receiving this permission Gen. eral Aguinaldo designated Colonel Agoncillo one of his closest personal friends and a member of his stan. to act as an insurgent envoy.
 Although Colonel Agoncillo Is likely to have no standing before the peace commission If he should proceed to Paris. General Aguinaldo ordered him 10 poaru Una Inina anu 10 aCcOfnpduy General Merritt at least as far as Hong kong.
 General Francis V. Greene and Gen. eral Babcock also left for Hongkong on the China General Greene will go direct to New York. and General Bab- cock has been ordered to Washington.

General Wheeler Orders an Investigates
 of AfrAirs at Monsaak-
 New York. Aug. n-Camp Wikon Is to be investigated General Wheeler yesterday ordered General Adelbert Ames. chief of stan on General Rents stan. to conduct an Investigation He is given almost autocratic powers. Gen. eral Wheeler has ordered him to get at the bottom of all the things which have been complained of. The subjects Gen. eral Ames is to investigate are: Why Is the general condition of the camp so poor; why do the conditions that pre- vail exist; who is responsible: why troops were sent to the camp before 1t was ready to receive them. why. since there was but one railroad leading into the camp. boats were not used to carry men and provisions from New York city: why needed medicines were not ordered. or if they were ordered why they were not distributed: why the hos pitals are crowded; why transports were allowed to lie in the harbor with out supplies and relief being sent out to them.
 There Is dissatisfaction in the camp of the Rough Riders. They are not sat- isfied with the terms Of their muster out. They want to be treated as are the remainder of the volunteers The pres ent plan Is to muster them out as soon as possible and without the usual fur lough- They say they want to be treat ed like the others and want to be given 50 days furiough at full pay and then be mustered out and gent home at the usual mileage and ration allowance. They claim they are entitled to this as much as any Of the troops. As the war department officials thought they were showing tf>e Rough Riders a favor in treating them as planned. they win probably be surprised at the dissstis- faction. The condition Of this regiment is now excellent owing to the gsnsroei- ty of citizens. the care of physicians and the watchfulness of thsetr command ir& officers. The resulars. officers and men. are also dissatisfied and want to be sent back to garrison posts and sta tions at once.
 The coming of President Mckinley Is anxiousiy awaited An effort will be made to get the president to sanction changes which even General Alger was not asked to make.

THE OHIO CONFLICT
Columbus Continues to Be the Politi-

United States.
MANY CONFLICTING RUMORS
of Hanna Have By No Means
Given Up the Fight Righteous In
dignation Of Republicans at
Apostates.

Columbus, o., Jan. 5.-The senatorial
contest broke more bitter today than
ever. After the sensational develop.
ments of last night in connection with
the repeated changes of Representative
Griffith and other doubtful members,
the skirmishing proceeded more clan
destnely on both sides.
| No claims OF changes were made by
either side 1t was the purpose of the
managers in not holding the caucus to
be able to keep their own secrets till the
balloting begins week hence. 1t is be-
lieved that secret compacts are being
made that will not become known
until the votes of the members are
recorded
The situation is the same as after the
day. All those who changed their
preferences yesterday We're brought
back during the night to their original
places.

the departure of Congressman Gros-
venor for Washington after ex-Secretary
Ryan and others who have recently
been there in the interest of Senator
Hanna. The Hanna men insisted that
there would be no legatee, while the OPP
position insisted that they had Hanna
beaten now and would defeat Secretary
Sherman, Assistant Secretary Day or
any other friend that the national ad-
ministration brought ont in the place of
Hanna.
The feature of the day was the pas
sage in the house, by a unanimous vote,
of bill repeating the aw for so years
franchises to street railways. This re
pealing bill was introduced by Reprcsen-
tatve Bramley, of Cleveland, one of the
Republicans opposing Hanna.
Mr.. BoXwell charged Mr.. Bramley
with using this bill for defense and bun
comb.
1t was freely charged by members that
Senator Hanna was at the state house
two years ago, as well as Senator Fora
ker, lobbying for the so year street
