SENATOR HOAR CONVERTED
His Views of inc Philippines Broad
 ened af Dinner Party.

Washington, Jan. 27.-Senator Hoar knows more about the trua condition Of the Philippines than he did a few days ago. He has learned much about the natives, u1eir habits and customs, from man able to teach him. On Thursday night Senator Foraker gave dinner party tc the three members Of the new Philippine commission, PrCfs. Shurman and Worcester and Col. Denby, and invited Senator Hear to meet them. Although Senator For aker was the cne whlc so ably de- mol shed Senator HoaI's arguments against expansion in his speech in the senate, .he two senators are friends. and Senator H3ar acc pta1 the invita- ton.
 It was cdd to see the Massachusetts anti eXp3ns.Onist seated between the Philippine Commi -1ers. BUI a strange scene tCok place after dinner, when Senator Hear was told many things about the Philippines he never heard before. Prof. WOrcest ter. who has lived in the islands and whose bcok is an authority on Phtlipp ne subjects, was so interesting t. Senator Hoar that the latter forgot that the ladies of the dinner party were up- stairs and that his wife was anxious to go home. It was nearly midnight be- fore he allowed Prof. Worcester t0 st D telling his tale of The Phil p1ines
 l. is rumored about the senate today that perhaps af,er this dinner party Senator Hear will do as he q d on the Hawaiian que5tiOn-yCte fer the treaty even though he spoke against it.

ENGLISH POSTAL INNOVATION.
A System of Mailing Boxes in Private
 Houses Now in Operation.

London, Jan. 27.-The British post office is becoming a live concern. More reforms have been introduced since the duke of Norfolk became postmaster general in 1895 than in the previous twenty years.
 The latest innovation, which has been in operation since January 2, in trCduces a system of posting boxes To- cated in private houses. From these boxes the postmen collect letters at regular intervals. Two collections are made daily for fee of e1 yearly. A slight additional fee is charged for each floor above or below ground The user is not allowed to have a key to the box. A letter once posted be- comes the property of the postmaster general, and cannot be returned to the writer
 Probably other facilities will follow, for G. H. Murray, the successful chair man of the inland revenue board, ac- cepted the secretaryship of the post office at the special request of the gov ernment, which found that a strong outside man was necessary to break the red tape autOcracy.

FRENCH TALK OF WAR.
A Rupture With England Inevitable in
 Short Time, Says Col Guer:n.

London, Jan. 27-The Paris corres- pondent of the Chronicle says that the virtual adjustment of the disputes be- tween France and Great Britain through negotiations upon lines laid down by+Sfr Edmund Mouson the Brit ish ambassador, in hIs interview with M. Eelcasse, minister of foreign affairs, fails to satisfy the Chauvinists.
 The Echo de Paris quotes Col. Guerin, parliamentary reporter of the army commission, as expressing the belief that war between France and England within a short time is inevi- table. It was this feeling, he says, that influenced the measures voted in the chamber of deputies yesterday for the defense of Algiers and Tunis.
 The Echo de Paris also says that the audience granted to the Comte de Mon tebello, French ambassador to Russia. by the czar was intended to reassure France against any Anglo-German at tack or alliance.

ELoPEs WITH THREE WoMElJ.
R. J. Corbett to Be Prosecuted for Big
 amy by Deserted Wife.

San Francisco, Jan. 27.-Three wo- men call Roland J. Corbett husband and one at least proposes to see what virtue there is in law to punish biga- mists. Mrs. Corbett NO. 2, who was formerly Miss Minnie Forster, the daughter of a rich lumberman of liar risville, Mich, is now a resident of this city. They eloped and were married on June 10 of last year.
 Two months later, the young wife says, she learned that she was not the only woman who had married Corbett. In fact, according to her story, ha ad- mitted when she discovered his decep- tion and accused him, that he had a wife in Detroit from whom he had never been divorced; that he had, when IT years old, eloped with Miss Jennie Rice of Detroit, she being then 90 years old. He begged wife No. 2 not to leave him and induced her to come to San Francisco with him. She consented and they came here.
 Soon after they arrived in this city Corbett went to Pen LOmOnd, Santa Cruz county, to visit sister, the wife Of H. FrancisAAnderson, a lumberm an The husband seldom visited his wife here and sent her no money. Finally she wrote to Anderson and learned that Corbett had elCped for a third time, on this occasion with Mrs. Frank Young, the cook of the Anderson home, a widow and the mother of four children. Mrs. Corbe tt chereup2n wired to her relatives in Michigan and they sent her D.oney by telegraph. She says she will go to Detroit and hunt up wife No 1 and together they will take steps to prosecute CorL ett for bigamy.
