BRYAN NOT SURPRISED.
Real Fight Is Over the Question of
Annexation.

Lincoln, Feb. Civilian ]. Bryan
expressed no surprise over the ratifica-
ton of the peace treaty, and commented
briefly on the matter. When the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent asked him
if the ratification of the treaty would
end the fight against the annexation of
the Philippines, he said:
Not by any means. While many
have thought that the fight should be
made against the treaty, 1 have felt
that the real fight is to be made for
a resolution declaring the national poll
cy. The opposition on the treaty has
served a useful purpose and the oppo-
nents of the ratification made a gallant
fight, but there was never any chance
of defeating ratification. Now that the
treaty is out of the way it can be treat
ed as a domestic question and the lines
drawn between those who believe in
forcible annexation and those who be-
lieVe that the Filipinos should be al
lowed to govern themselves 1 have
not lost faith in the doctrine of self
government and believe that the people
will repudiate the imperialistic policy"

ratification Of the treaty transfers the
disposition of these islands to the Am

Secretary Alger thought that the con-
firmation of the victory at Manila, to-
gether with the ratification of the peace
treaty, was sufficient to make the day
memorable. He spoke of the perils of
the position which the American troops
have been occupying for SO many
months while the fate of the peace
treaty was at issue and said he was
only too pleased now that these troops
were free TO protect themselves.

M'KINLEY GRATIFIED.

News Of the ratification of the treaty
reached the White House almost imme-
diately after the announcement of the
vote. Postmaster General Smith was
with the president at the time, and the
first TO graduate him. Naturally, the
president was gratified at the vote, and
so expressed himself. Secretary Gage
came in soon afterwards and was fol-
lowed almost Immediately by Secretary
Alger and Secretary Hay. Within forty
minutes after its ratification General
Cox, the secretary Of the senate, ap-
peared with the treaty itself, which he
promptly delivered into the presidents
hands and then retired The cabinet
members, as they left the White House,
We're jubilant over the ratification of
the treaty and spoke Of it as a great
triumph. Secretary Hay expressed his
qualification that the treaty was rati-
fed, and said he only regretted that it
had been found necessary to occupy
so much valuable time IN doing it. He
said that the treaty would be submitted
TO the Spanish cortes at the session
which opens this month, and he antici-
pated no obstruction in that direction
to the final exchanges.

treaty is ratified; glad from the stand

Mr.. Money declared this view to be alb
Surd.
Mr.. Fairbanks spoke at some length,
his speech being the first he had made
since the debate began. He made an
appeal for unanimity of action, in order
that the country might present a har-
monious front to the outside world in
dealing with so important a question.
He said that no partisan politicsal ad-
vantage could possibly be claimed by
any one in the ratification, and held
out the view that solid support Of the
administration would be of vast ad-
vantage to the administration in the
present crisis. In this connection he re-
ferred to the opening of hostilities at
Manila. and expressed the view that the
ratification Of the treaty would do much
to prevent further bloodshed and re-
store quiet.
Let US" said he, "ratify the treaty
and then settle our differences concern
ing the question of expansion after
wards. These questions can wait, but
the emergency is too great for any
postponement whatever on the ratifica
ton question:

As TOLD IN DENVER.
A Mixed Story Of Billy the Kid and His
Knife.
(Rocky Mountain NeWs.)

(Rocky Mountain News.)
An interesting historical relic of the
days of desperadoes in Colorado was
presented to the state historical society
yesterday by Lorenzo D. Stebbins, Of
Montclair. 1t is a saw made from a
common table knife, and was used by
the famous BILLY the Kid" when he
sawed his liberty through bars in the
Las Vegas Jail in 1888. With the impro-
vised saw the desperate succeeded in
severing two fiat bars of iron half an
inch in thickness and three inches
broad. His freedom was dearly pur-
chased, however, as several days later
he was killed with a Winchester in the
hands of Deputy Sheriff Clark on a
ranch four miles from town. BILLY the
Kid" made a remarkable fight, although
all his shooting opponents succeeded in
escaping bullets from his Winchester.
A reward of $500 had been offered for
the capture of BILLY" dead or alive, and
his discovery by the officers meant GER
tain capture on that account. After his
escape from the Las Vegas Jail he
nursed a sick cowboy at the ranch, but
his work of mercy did not save his life.
When the body was taken to Las We
gas, Mr.. ,Stebbins, who was then a ar
penter at work on the court house,
pulled the boots from the body and
found the knife carefully concealed in
one Of them. The iron shank had been
removed from the left boot, and it Is
supposed that the prisoner used that as
a file in making his saw.

NV AOAAhb
Editor New Mexican: Will you do the
cause of humanity an act of charity by
helping the mother Of a boy who ran
away from this city to find him. He is
5 feet Z inches tall, medium dark brown
hair, clean shaver, and has small blue
eyes; skin looks like a girls, it is so
very soft and white. He is very thin in
the face, as though he had been sick.
He is a printer, a st%enographer, book
keeper and attorney at law. He is a
small fellow, and appears to be about
10 years of age. He wore a soft light
brown hat, light colored pants, and dark
coat and vest when he left here. No
cause is assigned for his departure. If
you will publish this description and
ask other papers to copy it you will save
his mother from gray hairs and a pre-
mature grave. She is almost crazy over
him, for he is delicate and sick at times,
and is without means to care for him
self. His name is John Stone, and he
may change it.
If you will publish this you may set
the piece up to suit yourself, for we
have written 1t at dictation, and are not
responsible for the wording, and If he is
found through your article we will help
her to pay o a reward. She is offering
$40 now for his location, and we will
help her to offer more for his location
and to be payable as soon as we can
communicate with whomever he is stay
ing or working, and confirm the descrip-
ton or identity. Please give the matter
your consideration. The case Is quite a
sensation, and I hope you will publish it.
A perfect exodus has been going on Of
just this character, and rel thirty peo-
pie have left st. Louis without cause,
leaving good homes and pleasant sur
roundings. You may state that it is n
of many similar cases. All papers will
please copy.

A Foolish Man.

There was once a man who thought
what a dreadful thing it would be If he
were blind, and closed his eyes as he
walked along to see how it would be. In
this way he walked over a purse Of gold
which another man picked up. There are
people to-day just as foolish. They
moan over their poo health, thinking
nothing will help them, when a trial
of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will cure
their ailments. 1t brings steady, vigor-
GUS nerves to v people. 1t puri-
fies the blood, tones up the stomach,
and brings back real health by making
Indigestion and constipation impossible.
1t is absolutely the greatest remedy
known for all stomach troubles, and
is to be found in every drug store.
