aIR. .BABCoCk's OBJECTION.
He Opposes Granting the lexington
Railway Company Privileges.

The House District Committee held
two-hours' executive session yesterday.
during which the members discussed the
lexington Railway bill. II appears TO be
the determination of the committee not TO
report this bill until the lexington Com
pany first pays to its employees tile back
wages due them Mr. Babcock, chairman
of the committee, is emphatic in his opposi-
ton to granting the lexington Company
any further concessions until their back
wages, lawfully due, are paid to the men.
The whole amount due is about 81 GOO, and
the drivers, conductors, hostIers and others
cannot afford to lose q penny Of it.
In taking this stand Mr.. Pa bcock has a
generous support in the committee. and it
looks now as if the company must go
uown in its pockets and pay the men if it
wants the consolidation and other con-
cessions it has applied for. The committee
also discussed the bonding scheme OF the
company. No conclusion Ia d been reached
when the committee adjourned.

Returning to prosperity" Mr.. Simp-

had been sent from Oregon to Mr.

simply desired to read it because the
gentleman from Oregon had few min

Oregon under the Dingley bill. Inc
portion of the letter read:

them. No trains or individual cars
have reached here yet ladened with the

then in a dignified way he turned to

also wanted to ask aiauestion, and said
he would answer him.

consent for an extension of five min

An amusing incident happened the other
day in the store of one of our best known
bicycle dealers, MesSrs. Jones & Fellows.
1t was right after the advertising of a new
arrival OF wneels that foreign-looking man
stepped into the store and, looking around
with 8 puzzled air, stated to the salesman
who stepped forward: Il would like to
get couple of bottles of those new Olives
you advertised this morning." The sales
man looked trifle bewildered, and on a
repetition of the request, managed to eX-
plain that the store was not a grocery, that
the only things dealt in We're bicycles and
sundries. The visitor, for answer, pulled
out a piece of the advertisement the firm
had inserted in the mornings paper, and
said, with show of Indignation. What,
then, do You mean by yannomcingth the arrival
of n lot OF DiiveSr'' The saleman had by
this time uuIerstood matters, and choking
down his laughter, managed to explain that
the advertisement concerned the receiving
Of a new lor OF the famous bicycles called
the Olive. The foreigners sense Of humor
arose to the surface then, and after mutual
smiles over his absurd Interpretation asked

According to another press telegram
Senator Davis had been called to
Washington by the president to dis
cuss peace proposals.
Senator DAVIS was asked last even
ing whether he had received a cable
gram from natives of the Philip
pines residing in France and Belgium.
petitioning him to use his influence
against a restoration of the Philip
pines to Spanish rule
Il have not received such a mes
sage" answered Senator Davis.
Senator Davis also said he had not
been called to Washington.
COALING STATION.
Senator Davis was asked what
length Of time the American troops
might be expected to remain in the
Philippines in the event of a restora-
ton of those islands to Spain.
I'VE ought to have a coaling station
there" said the senator. "And bv a
coaling station I do not mean a heap
of coal on dock. A coaling station
means an American colony and ship
yards and dry docks, and that means a
sufficient number of troops to maintain
our authority there
Senator Davis said that he did NOT
anticipate any complications with for
eign nations over the Philippines
"a great deal has been published
about the alleged unfriendliness of
Germany" he said, but there was
really nothing in it. Germany did
seem a little officious at one time. but
more was made of the incident than
facts warranted.
II do not believe any nation has an
idea of interfering with us. It was re-
ported that Russian warships had been
sent to Manila, but that was incor-
rect"
Senator Davis referred to the Porto
Rican campaign.
L am not surprised that the Ameri-
can army is received with open arms
in Porto Rico" he said. II was told
by some natives Of that island In
washington that the country would
welcome our troops. Most of the peo-
pie In that island are descendants Of
French pioneers, and have no sympa-
thy for Spain.'

about 500 people, but $1,000 refugees
went thither and occupied the houses
in which there was room for only 500
The town was goverfowing; there was
no food for the Cubans, and the army
had not enough to spare. So these
people had to go out and forage for
themselves. Santiago is known as the
worst yellow fever port in Cuba, and
these people who did not carry it with
them soon had it, for their condition,
huddled together as they were, was
terrible, and brought on the pest al
most Immediately. I know 1t to be
fact, having seen it myself that the
army ambulances were used to haul
these refugees from Ell Caney SO that
they might get food. The people waded
through the mud and were picked up
by the ambulances. Then our sick and
wounded were hauled in the same am
balances. But, worst of all, it seems
to me, is the fact that the commissary
wagons, which always were going to
Siboney and back, carrying, food, went
out with food, returned loaded with
refugees and went back again loaded
with food. No yellow fever appeared
in the army, before the lines were
opened to these people from Santiago.

the time for the crisis passed yester-

fatal termination was probably passed,
but that the effects of the stroke would
continue for some time.
The news Of the attack that the colo

to the regiment this morning. It was
known as early as noon yesterday that
something was wrong, but no one sus-
pected the real ailment The stroke

had quite left him, and, as he ceased
in his attempt to talk, his face became
suffused with blood. The surgeon who
was present saw that something seri-
Gus was the matter with the command

efforts Of Col. Shandrew to respond
were painfully futile.
Maj. Dennis, the regimental surgeon,
was sent for and he ordered the colonel
taken to a tent, where he would be free
from the noises Of the camp and where
there would be no possibility OF his be-
ing disturbed. The tent was closed up
and sentries put on to keep away in
truders. He was perfectly conscious
and responded to questions that could
be answered yes or no, by moving his
eyes. About 8 o'clock in the afternoon
1t was decided that the attack was Of
q nature that would require consider
able close medical attention and proper
attendance, and Col. Sandrew was sent

AMERICAN MODEsTY.

LONDON, July 30.-Referring to the
unsettled point of the Philippines, the
main lines of the peace proposals were
generally discredited here. The edi-
torials evidently regard them as a de-
sire on the part of the United States
to treat Spain generously, and so far
as possible to limit the extension of
Americas territorial responsibilities be-
yond seas. The papers agree that there
is no limited liability in warfare. Spain
is naturally disappointed, but they
point out that she must put UP with
the less of Porto Rico, and if she is
well advised she will accept the Ameri-
can terms.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1898-07-30

and the recognition Of Cuban 1nde-
pendepce by Spain was the decision
that every vestige Of Spanish govern
ment and authority in the Caribbean
and West Indian waters must be re-
moved by formal acquisition OF numer-
Gus islands over which the Spanish flag
flies. Furthermore, sweeping change
of authority from Spain to the United
in our nearby waters Is to be effective
also as a quit claim of all indebted
ness assumed by the Spanish govern
ment and charged by her to those ISL
ands, so far as the United States is
concerned, and all commercial treaties
now existing between the Spanish gov
ernment and her possessions and other
powers are eXtinguished. Some discus
sion was had as to the probability Of
Spanish acceptance of our terms. The
views differed, though it can be stated
that several Of the more influential
members of the cabinet believed that
the terms substantially agreed on
would not be accepted by Spain at
once. While believing that the propo-
sition made should in all reason con-
stitute the minimum to be considered,
some expressed the belief that Spain
would not be Immediately disposed to
reach an agreement on them, and that
possibly considerable lapse of time
would ensue before that government
would be ready to yield, meantime
seeking a compromise, which, it was
asserted, was not to be entertained fer
a moment. Others took the ground
that there was every indication that
she had decided to make terms, and
that what was now proposed would
soon be acceded to to avoid further dis
aster.
One factor in the protracted discus
sion of the Philippine problem was the
absence of advices as to the existing
situation there on this date. a point
that might be Of considerable impor-
tance in the adjustment of the ques-
ton. The unconfirmed dispatch re-
porting Manila had surrendered was
read and commented on as indicating
that definite action, without the knowl-
edge as to the exact situation at Ma
Mia, might cause a statement regard
ing conditions that did not exist.

sihiiity for the Philippines.
LONDON, July 29.-The weekly pa
pers credit the United States with a
desire to deal generously with Spain.
The Saturday Review says: I'VE are
convinced that America will not play
the part Of Shylocks. but now that she
has learned to appreciate the bravery
and fighting qualities of the Spaniards,
as well as the worthlessness Of the Gu
ban rebels, she will make obvious
atonement for the precipitancy with
which she entered upon the war by
dealing generously with her oppo-
nents."
The Spectator takes a line quite un-
usual in the English press, more
strongly urging the United States to
assume direct control of both Cuba and
the Philippines. 1t implores the Wash
ington government rather to break an
injudicious pledge to congress than to
allow Cuba and the Philippines to be
independent or to return to the cruel
Spanish dominion. Since it Is equally
inadmissable," says the Spectator, "to
grant independence or to transfer the
Philippines to another power, it is best
that the United States should assume
the heavy responsibility involved,
which will serve to bring out the best
qualities of the American nation. Eng
land does not desire the Philippines;
and, if she did, she would not take
them, because she wishes to prove that
her sympathy for the United States
is quite disinterested."
The Spectator devotes another arti-
Gle to eulogy Of the splendid and un-
expected manner in which Mr.. McKin-
ley has risen to the requirements Of
high and difficult position. 1.-THE presi-
dent has displayed latent talents, show
Ing him the possessor of many of Lin
coins great qualities. 1t would be re-
markable," the Spectator continues,
'if, for the second time in a genera
ton, the American system of really
an elective monarchy proves itself a
strong system for dealing with dan
gerous crisis. Europe may have been
hasty in rejecting the very idea of an
elective monarchy as fatal alike to
stability and strength"

continue the war. 1t was stated at the

Yesterday stated that the natives of
the Philippine islands resident in
Europe had Joined with British sub
1ects who have Oriental interests In

text OF the message from Europe to
Senator Davis was given as follows:

habitants is preposterous. To retain her
sovereignty means deception, oppression and
olgotry. We placed our rights in your hands
senate not to abandon in the hour of peace
