President ssMoKinley and hie
cabinet have agreed upon the
method Of appointing commits.
stoned officers for the new regi-
ments of volunteers. Notwith-
standing the immense pressure to
change it the agreement is practi-
cally what President Mckinley
first said-military experience to
be the first requisite. Que cap
tain and one first Lieutenant is to
be selected from the volunteers
from each state, each to be a man
who has a good record in the war
with Spain, and the second lieu
tenants will be chosen from tho
volunteers without regard to states,
on their records as shown on the
books of the War Department,
and without regard to whether
they served as privates or officers
The present understanding is that
all officers above the rank of cap
tain will be chosen from commits
stoned officers in the regular army
although it is possible that some
exceptions may be made in favor
of volunteer officers.
Director Merriam of the Census
has requested that the 300 super
visors of the census be appointed
at one time, which will delay the
appointments for about ten days,
as the Congressional delegations
of a few states, mostly in the
West, have yet been able to agree
upon the supervisors for their
states and the President announ-
ced from the first that the re-
sponsibility for these appoint
ments must be assumed by the
Congressional delegations of the
several states.
Mr. I. M. Bond, of New Mexico,

Washington. He says, "Roose-

the lines of the Rough Rider Reg

that Gov. Otero will be the COL

THE COLD WAVE
Reaches New England and Sends the
Murcury Nearly Out Of Sight.

Boston. Jan. 1O.-The cold wave
which appeared suddenly over the
Lakes In a morning spread over New
England. today. sending the thermom-
ster we'll down. by night, and, urged
on by a stiff northwest gale made the
weather. tonight. in the northern Sec
tion OF the. country at least extremely
disagreeable and attended with con-
siderable suffering.
The mercury began to fall. early this
morning. the temperature being warm
er in this city at A. NJ. than at noon.
although the sun shone brightly at the
latter hour. BY night, the thermom-
eter had registered above. but. dur
ing the evening, the mercury dropped
to zero, with every indication of reach
ing a mark some degrees below that
point.
The cold wave was felt severely on
the coast, where the atmosphere,
charged with moisture, was very pe1-
etrating and biting. One or two small
vessels attempted to double Cape Cod.
during the day, but were forced to put
back under the lee Of Chat than, and
were well used up by their buffeting
with the waves.
The cold weather was. however, in
the northern section, where tempera-
lures of 5, 10 and 20 below were record
ed before midnight.

Congressional Notes.

Both j. W Foster and Hon. Wayne
MacVeagh are convalescIng rapidly and
show considerable improvement.
The Senate has agreed that after 3
o'clock next Tuesday. debate on the Mica
ragua canal bill shall be limited to 10
minutes on each amendment, the Senate
to be under the 5-minute rule. No time
has been fixed for a final vote.
The Ame,.can-Canad:an commission
was in session fer brief time, Tuesday.
but its attention was entirely taken un
with routine questions. The su5-com-
mission on the northeastern fisheries re-
sumed its work after the adjournment of
the full commission.
The House committee on interstate and
foreign commerce, Tuesday, failed to
agree upon the basis of a Nicaragua
canal bill and voted down two proposi-
tions one for special meeting and an
adjournment until Wednesday. The whole
ques tion now goes over until the regular
meeting on Friday.
The Senate committee on naval affairs,
Tuesday, agreed to report favoraby the
promotion of naval officers who partici-
pated in the war with Spain over Others
who are their seniors. The list included
Admirals Sampson and Schley ana long
list of other officers. No opposition mas
developed in the committee.

TUESDAYS NEWS kEAssuRIHG.
Gen. Otis cablsgrams oi Iloilo Situation Sat
istacteiy No Collision Yet.

Washington. Jan. 10.-It Is stated on
authority that such news as has been
received. today. from Gen. Otis Is rath-
er reassuring than otherwise as to the
situation in the Philippines and that
he made no allusion to hostile col
lision. He has been instructed to us,
gentleness in dealing with the inslr-
gents and to advise and cooperate
with Admiral Dewey. There Is some
reason to believe that the present sit
uation may be protracted longer than
would be naturally expected and that
there will be no open hostilities imme-
diately, If at all.
The question has arisen here as t,
the exact purpose to be served now in
attempting to seize Iloilo. Originally
1t was intended to release the Spanish
fore there beseiged, but by their evac-
uation of that place they have removed
that incentive. and were 1t not for the
false encouragement it would give the
insurgents, there is little doubt that tn .
United States troops would not be
moved against Iloilo.
Meanwhile the navy is expected -
draw Gordon around the s, md OF
Panay and also Luzon shoa Il be
deemed necessary to do so to prevent
the further supply of arms and mum
tions of war to the insurgents. Prob
ably the gunboats now there or Ell
route will be reinforced by the Machias
and the Annapolis and Vicksburg.

RECOMMENDS THE BEEF.
Col. Gallagher Says by All Means Stick to
Refrigerated Beef.

Washington. Jan l0.-Lieut. Col. Gala

was in charge of the commissary depot
at Shafter's headquarters before Santi-
ago. reappeared before the war insssti-
eating committee, today. During his in
cumbency he said he issued about 3SO,G0
pounds of refrigerator beef. 1t was care
fully inspected and was al fine meat. lie
said about 1900 pounds of beef was con-
demned by board Of survey after it had
reached the camps. which We're from to
6 miles from the transports. The meat
deteriorated between the transports ana
the camps.
He was now issuing meat for about 20
999 men at Augusta. 1t was good meat
and he should decidedly recommend the
cont tinuation OF this class of beef. He
considered the refrigerator beef certainly
had in Cuba. When troops were far III
ule interior he should recommend fur
nshirg them beef on the hoof.
Regarding '4he canned roast or boiled
beef. he said 1t was good. though not par
ticuiariy attractive and our men soon
the Cubans liked it. preferring it to
bacon.
Capt. James c. Reid. ccmmissary of
subsistence in the volun. GERS, who served
oa the transports Massachusetts and
Mobile. described in detail his experience
on THE Massachusetts, which delivered a
large cargo of refrigerator beef to Porto
Rico and Santiago. He said the beef was
! on board and in course of delivery from
July % 20 SEPT. %. Ii was of fine qualrt y
ana was perfectly good so long as witness
rad anything to do with 1t. He had
never heard any intimation of chemical
trea atmeTf Of the meat ur' n he read the
charges in the newspapers.
Witness personal preference to meats
was refrigerated beef.

the NORTHWEST GALE
Made Tuesday One Of the Hardest Of the
Winter on Our Coast.

Chatham, Mass, Jan. 10.-A heavy
northwest gale, accompanied by Sc
we're cold wave made today one of the
hardest Of the winter off Cape Cod.
The cold snap came on SO suddenly,
last night. that a number of vessels
were caught outside, and few ran IN
under Chatham Beach for shelter.
Those who were outside and felt the
full effects of the gale, iced up rapid
ly. SO that the day must have been one
of great suffering for the seamen. A
number of vessels came down the cape.
including three or four tugs with tows,
but scarcely any vessels went up
round Highland Light.
The ice formed rapidly in the har-
Dor, this afternoon, as the sun went
down, and, at dark tonight, the mer-
curry registered only Il above zero,
which is exceptionally low tempera-
ture for Cape Cod. The gale at sun
set showed no signs of abating, to-
night, and will doubtless be one of the
severest of the winter.

Meetings as Usual.

Boston. Mass. Jan. lo.--The annual
meetings of stockholders of Boston banks

The banks which. are in process. of
liquidation held their annual meetings
just as did all others. but the appoint

formality.

SENATOR HOAR'S IDEAS.
We Should Help Establish Philippine Govern
ment and Then Withdraw.

Franklin, Mass. Jan. 10.--Hon. Jo-
seph G. Ray. of this town, a short
time ago wrote to Senator George +.
Hoar asking for an expression from
him of what the United States should
do in the matter of holding the Philip
pine islands. Senatro Hoar has replied
to the query by saying he would assis,
the inhabitants of the island to esta3
ish the form of government which.
they desire and then Withdraw. Tn,
letter from Senator Hoar is as follows.
My dear sir: / have your letter q
Dec - in which you ask what !
should recommend doing with the PHI;
ippine islands now that We have them
in our possession.
IN the first place We have not go;
them in our possession. and in order To
get them into our possession. as / un-
derstand it, we have got 10 subdue the
inhabitants. We have driven thb
Spanish army from one port in sin
gle island out of the 1900. where they
We're already hemmed in by the insur-
gents. We possess that port and one
or two smaller places. We kaOe under
our control a population of perhaps
100000 of 125,000 persons out of 10000, 000
or 2,000, GOO.
II we get possession of the Philip
pine islands it will be by the some
what remarkable process, for repub-
lie founded on our Declaration of indie
penderce that governments rest on the
consent of the governed. by conquer
ing them for their good-a process
which must be supported. if supported
at all, by the same logic by which our
slaveholding brethren and fathers
used to hold slaves for their good.
What l would do with, them is ex
actly this: l would offer the insurgent
leaders. who seem to be the strongest
party in those islands. our aid in cs-
tabishng such form of settled govern
ment as they desire and leave them a
sufficient military force to restore or
der | would compel the renunciation
of sovereignty there by Spain as we
have in the case of Cuba, and then. af-
ter the government is fairly set up, |
would leave the island to the care OF
themselves.
| Il suppose there may be good deal
of turbulence and disorder, as there
was in the case of the republics south
of u.s. including Mexico after they were
emancipated from Spain and Portugal
But I think in the course of time. a
permanent settled government will be
evolved. If it We're necessary I would
have an understanding with the great
powers of the world that we would all
| join in promoting and guaranteeing
such d result. / would have Spain un-
| derst3nd that We should not permit q
| breach of the treaty renouncing sover-
| eighty.
/ II agree very much with Abraham
Lincoln when he said that God neve,
made one man good enough to own
another. and l think also. what I am
sure he would have said if he had been
| asked about it. that God never made
one nation good enough to own an
| other.
Il am with friendliest regard. faith
| fully yours,

YOITNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness In adj
vanced years are realized by compare
lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc
rious troubles on account OF their pecu-
liar organism and their profound igno-
rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period OF usefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
to many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
GUS health in old age. From every COR
ner of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy OF
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Cora
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is a letter from Mrs. ]. C. Orms, of 920
Horner ST., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
"DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel It my
duty to tell all suffering women that |
think your remedies are wonderful. l
had trouble with my head, dizzy spells
and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
we'll, had kidney trouble, pain in
ovaries and congestion of the womb.
Since taking your remedies I am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. l can eat and
sleep well and am gaining in flesh. !
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
ence in treating female ills is unparal-
lelled, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia +. Pinkham. and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as hundred thousand ailing
women during q single year. d
