tion will come up before the local legisla-

Commissioners Morrow and Lacey have
filed a reply to the report of Examiner
Cowan This report is a general explana-
tion of all the charges preferred against
the court. In the matter of salaries the
only explanation offered is that Mr.. Lacey
drew one day less than possible work days
in 1897, but in 1898 he gets even by drawing
one day in excess
The local legislation committee will hear
the argument tomorrow morning, and the
bill will doubtless be given favorable
report.
srhe response of Commissioners Morrow
and Lacey is given below. Commissioners
Young and Crook have not signed this

M'KINLEY's INSTRUCTIONS.
An Erroneous Impression Regarding
His Demands in Philippines.

2
Washington, January 31.-It appears that
an erroneous impression has gone abroad
respecting the nature of the presidents IN
structions to the American peace commits
sioners in Paris touching the limitations OF
the claims to be put forward SO far the
Philippines were concerned to the island OF
Luzon. As a matter of fact, SO far from
making hat'island the maximum claim Of
the Americans, the presidents instructions
actually placed that island as the minimum
claim to be set out. The language was
nothing less than the island of Luzon." 1t
can be stated also that the correspondence
submitted to the senate included all of the
instructions to the American commission
ers. The only omissions from this. mass
were letters touching matters in n. way
related to the Spanish negotiations.
