A friend Of Mr.. KipI1ng, who is con-

Il am happy to say that Mr.. Kipling
today showed every sign of improve
ment. I am encouraged because he is
SO much better and his mind Is 80

his bedside. He asked sensible ques-
tions about the news of the day, and
was much interested in the fate Of GER
tain belated steamers. He realizes his
condition and that his recovery de-
pends largely upon himself
DR.. Dunham said: "The disease is
continuing in its ordinary course-is
doing just about as 1t could be expect
ed to. That does not mean it is MAX
ing progress I would not care to go
into details, or say whether the disease
had reached the stage that might be
called pneumonia. We wish to inform
the public of Mr.. Kipling's real condi-
tfon, and I wish to have his friends
understand that he is a very sick man.
1 will add, however, that think he
will recover"

ment is to secure definite declaration
the permanent holding Of the Philip
pines.
Mr.. Howard stated that the step had
been taken mainly because the Nc
Emery resolution. passed in the senate.
had been ignored by the committee on
foreign affairs. No meeting of the COM
nittee had been called since the Nc
Emery resolution was received, 80 1t
was manifest the house was not to be
permitted to vote on such a declara-
ton. He and his Democratic associates
Of the committee had therefore framed
a resolution much similar to that of
Senator Bacon, which would be offered
to the caucus on Monday
If this or a like resolution was adopt
ed, Mr.. Howard said, 1t would be pre-
sented to the house and an effort made
to have the speaker grant an oppor-
tunity for its consideration. In any
event it would define the position of
the Democrats of the house.
1t is stated by number Of Demo-
Gratis that the move does not result
from the recent visit Of Mr.. Bryan, al
though it is said the resolutions will
express sentiments similar to those of
Mr.. Bryan at the recent Washington
birthday banquet here.
Several Democratic members feel
that it will be appropriate to consider
how far the financial question is to re-
main the paramount issue or is to be-
come secondary to an issue on i'm
perialism.

ford. the latter slapped him.
Stuart ran into his house. His wife
had come out on the plaza From the
doorway Stuart opened fire on the con-
stables. GRAVEYARD returned it and
shot Mrs. Stua 4 just below the heart.
The woman was dangerously wounded
but not killed. Stuart was also badly
shot in the mouth, his tongue being
nearly severed. In the fusilade that
followed Constable Crawford was shot
through the left wrist The sheriff and
several policemen arrested the con-
stables and carried them to a magis-
trate's office.
The news Of the shooting spread over
the city and soon four or five hundred
infuriated men were in front of the of
fee. making a big demonstration. The
constables were kept prisoners in the
magistrates office all night, guarded
by the sheriff and his deputies.
Two local military companies were
ordered out and kept the crowd back.

the Thing for American Shippers.
BERLIN, Feb. 25.-United States
Ambassador Andrew D. White has had
several protracted conferences this
week with Baron Won Richthofen, I'M
der secretary of the foreign office, on
the subject of the recent troubles In
Samoa, and has received a number Of
documents in support of Germany's
view of the situation. The views ex-
pressed were of the most friendly char
acter and conciliatory.
An official In behalf of Baron Won
Buelow, the German minister of foreign
affairs, states that the German am
bassador at Washington. DR.. Won Hol-
leben, represented to the United States
government informally, and in friend
ly manner the advisability Of recall
ing William Chambers, chief justice of
Samoa.
The German government is Of the
opinion that Mr.. Chambers, since the
publication of the letter to his brother,
which appeared in the newspapers of
the United States is an improper per-
son to represent three governments at
Samoa 1t was further said that he
was put there in order to represent the
protecting powers. and for him to crit
icise one of these powers makes him
manifestiy unfit to serve any longer in
his present capacity" 1t Is only neces-
sary, it is further pointed out, to re-
verse the case in order to show this
strikingly to Americans.
Mr.. Chambers letter has greatly STIR
red up public feeling in Germany, and
nearly the entire press asserts that,
by the letter, Mr.. Chambers has "glar-
ingly manifested his unfitness for his
position"
The same foreign office official speak
ing of the Philippine islands, said
Germany only wishes the re-establish-
ment of orderly conditions. and this is
necessary on account of their CONNER
cial interests in the islands.

The Agrarians do not like the bill.
They assert that the paragraph provid-
ing for reimbursing by the govern
ment of the loss to producers through
having their cattle or meat condemned
as unfit for food, cannot be thought
of, and they add that cattle insurance
is the only remedy for these producers.

The Admiral Says That He Would
Refuse Nomination.

MANILA, Feb. 25.-The New York
Journal correspondent cables: In an
authorized interview with Admiral
Dewey he declared that he would not
accept a nomination for the presidency
of the United States. He desires no
political office. for which he says he is
untitled by education and training.
He is grateful for the kindly senti-
ments of the American people, but de-
sires to retire in peace in his old age.
He says the navy is one profession
politics another. and he is too old to
learn new profession. He has no po-
litical associates, and his health would
never stand the strain of canvass
He has been repeatedly approached by
politicians but has refused to consider
their propositions.
