THEY ,,ssARE OVERREACHING
III j
Arti-Expsnsionists Have Let Eagerness
-dG
~ 0utstrip Discretion.
Will BE in ami Awkward Position in
ca-e,l They Secure a Reiec-
tiOn of the Treaty.

1t appears that the anti-expansionists are
overreachirg themselves in their eagerness
to fix the policy of the government with
respect to- the disposition of the islands
wrested from Spain. They have lost sight
OF the fact that the President has not COM
mitted himself on the subject of the Phil
ippines Those who are urging the rejec-
ton of the treaty are likely to find them
selves in very awkward position when
1t comes to the test. Events in the very
near future are liable to demonstrate that
the rejection of the treaty is in no way
warranted, even by opposition to policy
OF expansion. The assumption that the
ratification of the treaty is to be followed
by the military subjugation of the Philip
pines and the disregard Of the wishes of
the nations is not warranted by any decla-
ration in behlf of the administration, and
there is reason to believe that the Presi-
dent is prepared to give such assurances
to the responsible natives of the Philip
pines as will relieve their suspicious and
put an end to their demonstrations of hos
tilities.
A Possible Policy.
1t is believed that the President has in
contemplation the treatment of the Flip
pinos about as the Cubans are being treat
ed, holding open to them the prospect of
independence if it is desired by them when
ever they are able to establish a stable gov
eminent. This would not mean the aban-
donment of the islands to their fate nor
would 1t necessarily follow that the islands
might not become territory of the United
states. 1t would merely leave the matter
open to be decided by future Developments,
with an avowed purpose to give the peo-
pie of the Philippines the sort of govern
lnent they want when it can be demonstrate
ed what that is and when it is possible.

OF the volunteers on duty in foreign pos
sessions, those in the Philippines are likely
to be the first selected for discharge Con-
sideration in that respect will also be given
to those men in the regular army who en-
listed only for service during the progress
of the war with Spain. There will be no
general discharge of such volunteer regu-
lars, as they called, until after the
ratification of the treaty of peace with
Spain, as, until that is done peace will not
be legally established between the two
governments. The further reduction of the
army will depend mainly upon the progress
of events i'll the Philippines and Cuba.
If no more re!nforcements are needed in
those countries between now and the LIST
of February, ii is said on good authority
that all the remaining volunteer organiza-
tons now held in reserve in southern camps
Will be mustered out within the next few
weeks.

Volunteers in This Country to Be
Mustered Out First.
MAINTAIN ADMINISTRATIONS POLICY
Need of Military in the New Pos
sessions.
WAITING ON RATIFICATION

The work of reducing the military forces
of the United States to peace basis is
progressing slowly. but steadily. Orders
were issued by Major General Miles today
for the muster out of the 4th Kentucky
Volunteer Infantry, now in camp at Ander-
son, Ala. This regiment will be mustered
out at its present station, but the officers
and men will be provided with transporta-
ton to their places of enrolment in Ken
lucky. Like all other regiments similarly
disbanded, the.' will be given one months
additional pay and allowances. The 18th
New York Infantry is the only one of the
volunteer regiments recently selected for
honorable discharge that will be mustered
out at its home station. The others will
all be mustered out at their present sta
tons in the south.
In explanation of this it is stated at the
War Department that the case of the 69th
New York is the only one where the state
authorities requested change in the orders
of the department for the muster out of
the regiments al their present stations.
No Reflection on Those Selected.
1t is further stated at the War Depart
ment that there is no foundation for the
report that colored volunteer organizations
were selected for muster out because of
alleged lack of efficiency or discipline, and
that it is equally untrue that the muster
out OF the white volunteer organizations
involves any reflection their efficiency
or discipline. In the selection OF regiments
for muster out the main consideration was
the interests of he government, and in
every case the selection fell upon organiza-
tons whose services could be spared with
the least impairment to the policy of the
administration for the use of the military
in Cuba. Porto Rico and the Philippines.
Consequently the troops on duty in those
countries will be the last of the volunteers
to be mustered out. The organizations in
this country for which no further military
service is likely will be given the prefer
ence.

There was no vacant seats at
the opening performance last
night Of the engagement of Ma

the audience was treated to an
olio Of good specialties, inter
spersed with songs. chorrnees

company is a reatimprovement
over that which appeared here
last year. Many of the jokes are
fresh, while vocally the organiza-
ton is entitled to take high rank
among minstrel companies. In
such a performance as that last

Gus that the imagination can de-
wise and yet to make the colors
harmonic. 1t need only be said
that the Carnival day parade in
Milwaukee, June %, will eclipse
any effort in this direction III the
history Of these fetes in the Unit
ed States. New Orleans has
made some pretentions to Guido
the other cities in this respect,
but it is very cert ain that New
Orleans, as well as it's citizens
know how to make Carnivals
successful, will not be il it with
Milwaukee. The Carnival direc-
tors are making every effort to
give visitors to this town a dis
play on the streets on Carnival
day, a dazzling show, SO that the
eye will drink in a sight which
will impress the mind, and fix
the city of Milwaukee there in
delibly.
1t should not be forgotten that
the maskers parade on Carnival
day, will be the funny feature Of
the week. The most unique and
elaborate programme has been
made out for the societies that
have agreed to enter the mask
ers division, and for the individu-
al maskers. 1t has been agreed
to give the latter prizes for the
most original grotesque and
handsome costumes. No one in
the state Of Wisconsin, who
hopes to have a real pleasant
time should miss the Carnival
day parade, Fun will be galore
and the spectacle will be unriv-

A Remarkable Case.

CHARLOTTE, NC, June pa white
man. named Parsons, whose home was at
Lenoir, n c., was run over by South
ern Railway train last night, thirty miles
north of here He was brought to Char
lotte, and lived about thirty minutes after
reaching here His body was entirely
severed below the waist, and while lying
on stretcher talking to a physician the
unfortunate man saw the lower half of his
body removed to another part Of the room,
and commented on it, He told his name,
aud talked very nationally, and in few
moments said to the doctors that he had
only few more minutes to live, and asked
that he be given something to stop the
pain.
The doctor administered an opiate, and
Parsons became quiet and died in a few
minutes. The man was about twenty lone
years of age and was beating his way on
the train when killed
