Mir Beveridge's pronounced views iii favor of expansion and the fact that he is known to have had a long con versation with President Mckinley within the last nor tn suggested that he might have an unofficial mission to report on conditions in the Philip pines. but he denied that there was any basis for the report.
 In conversation with a fTiend a few days ago he expressed the belief that the United States would soon play an important part in China as wei as in the Philippines and that the condi- tioRs there would afford an important subject of study for American states men. His friends during his sena- torial race last January made much of an address he delivered here ten years ago. pgedicting and urging an Ameri- can imperialistic policy in the far east as well as to the south.

 I guess the natives are rapidly becom- ing beer drinkers. We get good price
 for the beer, including the cost of the
 bottles, and nearly every kind of bot tie goes, provided it holds a pint or a quart. We never get the bottles back, as we do in our local trade, as it would not pay us to stand the return freight charges. So you see we cannot fill them up again. This is what is causing Q good price for them, with every pros pect that the dealers will soon make another increase in rates"

STILL HARPING ON 4 MARKET
COMMITTEE ON SITE HOLD A
SHORT SESSION AND DISCUSS
THINGS
Has Practically Decided That the
Plan to Build n Platform Out on
Third Street Is Not Desirable
Other Sites Considered.

The council committee OH market sites
held short session yesterday afternoon
and discussed informally several locations
for market The city engineer was re-
qLested to furnish plats of the blocks
bounded by Franklin, Fourth, Fifth and
Exchange streets: Pleasant and Smith
avenues, Third and Chestnut streets
Third, Fourth, Exchange and Franklin
streets, and the clerk of the committee
was directed to secure the figures show
ing the assessed valuation of the land
and improvements in each of the three
blocks mentioned. The committee has
practically decided that the plan to have
market on a platform built out from
Third street between Franklin, Eagle and
Exchange streets, is not one which would
be advisable.
The securing Of the block bounded by
Market Washington, Fourth and Third
streets was talked over, but the impress
sion seemed to be that there was not
enough room in that block. It's close
proximity to Rice park and the Metro
pOlttan was also against it's selection.
The committee visited the block bound
ed by Franklin, Exchange, Fourth and
Fifth streets, and made an inspection Of
the buildings on it. With the exception
of the improvements owned by Christ
church, the other brick buildings could,
the conImi4tee thought, be utilized for
commission stores with but little changes.
Aid Blomquist is in favor Of the Constans
site at Tenth, and Jackson sreet, for the
reason that the block can be secured for
$4,000 without any litigation, and could
be ready for occupancy as a market with
in ten days.
The committee will meet again this aft
ernoon at o'clock.

dianship and perfectly capable of set
Ting his accounts himself The claim
itself came up before the motion be-
cause Mr.. Wedge is about to leave the
