OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 81. 1898,
Pres. Mckinley has no idea nor has
he ever had any idea of guaranteeing
one dollar of the bonded Indebtedness
of Spain, in the treaty of Peace, and
orr commissioners are acting under
his orders in everything they do. The
story that this government, in return
for the Philippine Islands, would
agree to assume $40, OO0,0 600 of Spanish
bonds, issued as lein upon the Span
ish revenues from the Philippines, was
originated and circulated in this coun-
try by yellow journals and in Europe
by journals in the pay OF Spain, ana
has no foundation in fact. At joint
session of the Peace Commission, held
today at Paris, the American Com
missioners, acting under instructions
from President Mckinley, informed
the Spanish commissioners that he
demanded full possession and owner
ship of the Philippine islands. 1t is
expected that Spain will endeavor to
secure a money indemnity for the is
lands, on the grounds that it has
spent large sums, including the money
raised from the sale of S40,OOO,OOO OF
bonds issued several years ago, in
making public improvements on the
islands. The result of that endeavor
is as yet undetermined, and will de-
pend largely upon the showing that
Spain will be able to make, as to
money actually spent upon theisland'
In determining to acquire possession
of all the Philippine Islands, Presi-
dent Mckinley has merely complied
with the almost unanimous sentiment
of this country, which he has made

special efforts to ascertain since the
signing of the procotol, He has no
desire to be unfair to Spain in any
way, just because we have the power
to be, and there is no reason to doubt
that if Spain shows its right to be
paid an indemnity, he will agree to
pay it, but it will be paid in cash,
with which this government is abund-
antly supplied, as he will never agree
to anything that will mix this govern
ment up in any way with Spanish
bonds or the spectators who hold
those bonds. 1t is not expected in
Washington that the treaty of peace
will be completed and signed before
about the 10Th of November, but it
NAV be set down as certain that the
treaty when completed, will provide
for U. S. ownership of the Philippine
islands.
Revised reports from every Con
gressional district in the country have
been received by Chairman Babcock
within the past week, and he is now
perfectly satisfied that the next House
will be republican, the only question
remaining to be decided by election
being the size of the republican ma
jority. The republican majority in
the present House is 81. The most
conservative estimates are that this
will be reduced about one half, owing
to the loss of districts which are ordi-
narily democratic, but which went re-
publican in the Presidential election.
President Mckinley, Secretary AL
gerand Adjutant General Corbin have
virtually decided what troops are to
be sent to Cuba, when they are to go,
and where they are to be stationed,

WAS A FATAL SUGGESTION
'IF JAPAN SHOULD BECOME \
REPUBLIC"
1t Caused the Downfall of an Entire
neutrality-suspicious. of the Recent
Change of Government.

san FRANCISCO, December IA
Ihe recent CONFUSION in official cir
Giles i'm Japan which caused the resg-
nation of one cabinet and the creation
of another, thus in a day completely
changing the administration of the
government, has been a mystery to all
the world, and has been attributed to
various complications, internal and
foreign, but the correct solution of the
mystery has now reached San Fran
cisco. The entire trouble originated
in a speech by Ozaki Nultio. the dis
tiuguished minister of education, who
occupied a seat i'm the cabinet.
In this speech, which was before a
great audience i'm Tokyo. he detained
against the worship of money. upbrai-
ding the rich men of Japan for not
enduwtng institutions of learning. as
Americans and Englishmen had done.
And right here he made his fatal out
burst. Led away by the force of his
deep convictions, he cried out:
The sway of money has become
more potent in Japan than ever in the
so called home of plutocracy, Ameri-
ca; for while the Americans never
think of making Gould or a Wander
bilt president. the japanese, if the
should have a republic. would prob
ably place an Iwasaki or a NIitsui i'm
the presidential chair"
If Japan should become a republic!
This was the fatal suggestion, the aw.
full breach of political propriety. un.
pardonable, revolutionary doctrine. II
caused the downfall of the cabinet.

BONDING MAIL CARRIERS
Ne" Arrangement Costs the Men u
Small Yearly Fee.

,,o Aee q! ding 20 new rule made by the
postofflce department, letter Carriers
VIII be required, beginning April / to
secure bonds in the sum of 81 900 from
indemnity companies approved bv the
department. The new rule is consjd-
ered the most feasible ever adopted and
VIII do away with a great deal of in
convenience hitherto experienced bv
carriers, who have been REQUIRED to fur
nlsh individual sureties.
Under the new arrangement carriers
VIII be furnished a list of the surety
companies approved by the postal au-
thoritles, and their bonds will be an
proved without further formality up6n
the payment of a small annual fee
At one time carriers were compelled
TO pay 30 year to the American Surety
company, of New York. or the Citv
Trust, of Philadelphia, when unable TO
secure individual bondsmen. Suisse
Quently. the rate was reduced. until
now the bond question. so far as if re-
lates to letter carriers in all parts of
the United States, has become a mere
matter of insurance, the indemnity
companies relying, it may be presumed
upon the reputed integrity of carriers
and the fact that the federal machin-
cry is at their back should the carrier
violate the conditions of his bond.

him in charge of the Clinton Avenue
church, of this city, but he had not
forgotten the idea, and some weeks
ago reminded Capt. Van SAINT of his
promise to be present and assist in the
exercises. Since then Capt. Van SAINT
had entered into the race for the can
didacy for governor and had informed
him that he had concluded it was best
to remain at home and not take part.
Perhaps, said Rev. Handy. after he
is elected governor, or after his defeat,
he will be with us. He could see no
reason why the church should
not be political force and gather
statesmen and governors and have
them take part in the services. Capt.
Van SAINT, the speaker said, was per
sonal friend of his and he would like
to see him elected governor of the
state, and also licensed Methodist
minister. Yesterday Capt. Van SAINT
had telephoned him that The still
thought he had better not come" but
would have Capt. John Day Smith
take his place.
r. N. Hare, a member of Acker post,
and also a member of the Clinton
Avenue church. spoke briefly on the
subject of religious life in the army.
The soldiers were not, he said as
many believed, a very wicked lot of
people. Sundays in the army were re-
spected more than the majority of the
people of st. Paul respected the day
now. In the army all the soldiers
went to church on Sunday. The proud
est thing a soldier could do was to
join the forces OF Christ.
w. H. Burns, commander of Acker
post, followed, and very bluntly stat
ed that the only time he was in church
during the four years he was in the
army was the Sunday following the
battle of fredericksburg On that oc-
casion he, with a detail, was ordered
to tear out the seats in the church to
make room for the wounded men who
had fallen on the battlefield. In the
| army he had been one of the rank and
file, and he paid high tribute to those
who We're neither generals nor officers
by saying that those who did the fight
ing and made the victory possible were
the rank and file. A deal was said
about the war being over. To those
| who went to Canada or hired substi-
tutes the war had been over long ago,
but to those who had marched shoulder
to shoulder and fought for their coun-
try the war would never be over.
John Day Smith, of Minneapolis, past
department commander Of the state G..
a. r., said he had received telegram
| from Capt. Van SAINT, which stated that
owing to family affairs he would be un-
| able to take part in the meeting, and
asking him to take his place. He was
not accustomed to pulpit speaking, but
| he saw no reason why pulpits should
| not be decorated with the American
| flag. or why people should be afraid to
| carry the cross and the flag together.
| As one of the speakers had stated there
| were rot many wicked men in the army.
| True they were not all saints. but just

MOZART CLUB FUN.
It's staid Members Have One Nighl
of HiIarity.

The first annual "Narren Sitzung." or
fools session" of the Mozart club &C.
CURED at Mozart hall last night, and
proved perfect comedy success. OF
the 25O present each one was a member
of the club, or a friend of Il member
The affair, as far as the audience was
concerned, was confined strictly to the
male members of the club and their
male friends, or, in other words, was
strictly stag party. All Of
the 250 present last night were supposed
ito be fools" The smaller fools could
on their entrance purchase a fools
bonnet" for % cents. and the bigger and
larger fools bought a number II for the
same price. The whole affair was a
funny one throughout, and the two
principal features during the evening
were a burlesque performance Of the
Cairo street muscle dance, which was
given by four members of the club in a
most inimitable manner Andrew
Heckler was the "chief fool" and was
surrounded by a council Of several other
ordinary fools, among whom were
BlasiOus, 2. V. Larsen, William
Conrad, secretary of the club, and 9TH
ers, all Of whom appeared in special
costume. Henry Koenig appeared ar
rayed in heavy steel armor," and
acted as the chief marshal" of the
"chief fool" and ]. c. Allemann was
the chiefs head musician and chief
trumpeter. The programme during the
evening was made up Of songs.
speeches, etc, and the chief marshal
was instructed to arrest the culprits
who failed to appear. DR.. Stamm was
the only member guilty Of this OlfenSe.
because he was busy attending a case
at the "Rathskeller" when his name was
called, hence the marshal was unable
to find him. DR." Henscht, editor-in-
chief of the Volkszeitung, was arrested
and brought forward and told his ideas
in short order In conclusion ne said
he hoped that the temperance people
would get a little alcohol into their
brain and stop trying to monkey with
the administration Of the affairs of our
city and clog its wheels of business"
and. for josh finish, said he hoped 2.
J. Giesen would be elected the next
mayor of st. Paul, and that his first act
after election would be the discharge of
"Omcer" David Morgan. The Doctor,
after the close of his remarks, was dec
GRATED with the rider Of the shears and
scissors, and a large pair of gilt scis-
sors was placed about his neck by the
chief fool. P. ]. Giesen, upon being
called on, made a few brief remarks,
and closed by telling a funny story,
and was at it's close decorated by the
chief with a small sprinkler, be.
cause, as the chief said, he thought the
boss president needed new sprink-
ler" The close Of the fools session
finished with a burlesque on "Trilby."
Andrew Heckler appeared in the title
role of Trilby. and was assisted by
Messrs. Fritz Eue and Prof. SegaIl, the
artist. The scene was a very funny
one, and kept the stag audience" in
roars during the evening. The bur
lesque was arranged by and played un-
der the personal direction of Andrew
Heckler, and none of those who saw il
viii ever forget his APPEARANCE.
