STOCKS RETURNING
FROM LONDON

New York, Feb. 4.--The Tribune says:
The exceedingly heavy domestic buying
of stocks and bonds on the local stock
exchange last month was not accom-
panied by a similar movement on the
part of London investors. Foreign hold
ers of American securities. on the con-
trary, were extensive sellers and these
securities are now beginning to arrive
here in enormous volume The Majestic,
which has just arrived from Liverpool,
brought American securities of the ag-
greSate value of more than $4,000, 600,
and it is estimated that the Lucania is
carrying about IS 900 900 worth more. The
steamers which sailed from New York in
the middle of this week also have on
board many packages containing Amerl-
can stocks. Foreign houses which sold
these securities in this city for London
account have been borrowing the stocks
on the exchange here for delivery and
now will be able to return them. The
sales of American stocks by the foreign
holders have been paid for through the
big credit balance of American bankers
abroad which has been estimated to be
not much below $10,000.0O.

RAID MADE ON
A D|ST|LLERY

New York, Feb 4.-Revenue Agent
Robert Williams, Jr., has made the first
raid on a registered distllery that has
been made in New York in % years. He
has seized and cOnfiscated the distillcry
and contents of Joseph Swartman Of
Brooklyn. Theodore Ackerman, a part

dolph Lipa, employees, We're arrested
Swartman viii be arrested as soon as the
officers can find him. The distill2ry is
one of only two of its kind in New York,
where a very high grade Of brandy is
made. Swartman was granted a license
last November. Since that time he has
been running on full time, but has never
applied for revenue stamps. This aroused
the suspicious of the officials. The Off
GERS secured evidence convincing them
that goods were being illegally removed
from the place. Seizure and arrests fol-
lowed. The property seized is valued at

special to the Inter Mountain

Special to the Inter Mountain
Washington, Feb. ii have just read
the statement published in the Standard
Sunday charging me with actively aid
ing and abetting Clark's election. The
statement is unqualifiedly untrue, with
out a shadow of basis. In fact, I took
no part whatever, directly or indirectly,
in the contest, and made no effort to in
tluence single member of the legislature
for or against any candidate. I challenge
any one to produce a particle of proof to
the contrary.
Considering the character of the con-
test, the forces engaged and the methods
employed, the late senatorial struggle
was one which, in my humble Judgment,
all not claiming allegiance to the demo-
cratic party might wisely and we'll and
with present honor and future advantage
let severely alone.

Senate Proceedings

Washington. Feb. AT the beginning
of the session of the senate Allen offered
the following resolution:
"That the senate of the United States,
in ratfying and confirming the treaty of
peace. does not commit itself or the gov
ernmcnt to doctrines that the islands
acquired by virtue of the war with
Spain are to be annexed or TO become
part of the United States, and that the
difference in language of said treaty as
respects the island of Cuba and its IN
ha bitants shall not be construed or be
held to be difference in effect but that
it is the intention ard purpose of the
senate in ratifying said treaty to place
the inhabitants of the Philippine islands
and Porto Rico in exactly the same posi-
ton as respects their relations 20 the
United States as are the inhabitants of
Cuba"
Allen will address the senate upon the
resolution Monday.
Chiffon then addressed the senate on
the various anti-expansion resolutions.
He asserted that he was not an ant-cx-
pansionist or nti-annexatonist. Within
proper bounds, he regarded it as the duty
of this country to widen it's bounds. He
believed the acquisition of Porto Rico
and Guam was well enough, but in the
acquisition of the Philippines a grave
public policy was involved. He believed
such acquisition involved serious pcrils
and dangers to our government ana in
stitutions, and would constantly De
menace. He did not regard the anneXa-
ton of the Philippines as al all similar
to Louisiana and California and other
localities when made a part of the United
States.

WE MAY ASK AID
FROM AGU|NAL DO

New York, Feb. A special to the
Herald from Washington says: Believing
that the pacification of Cuba is assured
as result OF the conciliation of General
Gomez, administration officials are
urging the president to take action look
ing to the conciliation of Aguinaldo and
securing his cooperation in settling the
Philippine question. The authorities are
conhdent there will be no trouble in ac-
complishing the disbandment of the
Cuban army, now that it's leader has
consented to aid the president in bring
ing peace to the island.
General Gomez's dispatch to the presi-
dent was most fiattering. He presented
his compliments and said he would be
very glad to comply with the wishes of
the president and that he would go to
Havana and confer with General Brooke
relative to the settlement of questions
concerning the affairs of the island. Sec
retary Hay, by direction of the president
Immediately sent a congratulatory tele-
gram to Mr. Porter for transmission to
General Gomez.
In view of this satisfactory outcome
in cuba it is urged by some that a similar
experiment should be tried with Agun-
aldo. Advices from General Otis show
that conditions in the archipelago are i'm
proving. He states that he is confident
that when the treaty of peace is ratified
the opposition to American control will
collapse. General Otis has before been
directed to keep in communication with
AguinaldO and explain the friendly pur-
poses of this government, but the point is
made that if the commission now on the
way to the Philippines, or one of its mem
bers should be directed to confer with
Aguinaldo as Mr.. Porter was instructed
to do with Gomez and explain the wishes
of the president the backbone of the fight
against the sovereignty of the United
States would be broken and different
aspect would be placed on the situation
If the president chose to do So he could
with propriety have a conversation with
Agoncillo, who represents AguinaldO, and
explain the purposes of this government
Agoncillo has made himself distasteful
to this government, however, because of
his action in making public the docu-
ments he submitted to the state depart
lnent and sending cablegrams to his chief
advising him of the developments in the
situation. Through his secretary Agon-
clio has presented at the state depart
ment another memorandum showing that
the area of territory and number of peo-
pie controlled by the philippine repub-
lie" is many times greater than that con-
trolled by Spain when she was recognized
as the sovereign archipelago and over
whelmngly greater than that controlled
Manila. He enclosed additional data at
tempting to show the right of the Fill
piuos to govern themselves and closing
by urging that the United States should
recognize the republic. No notice will
he taken Of the communication.

FEW MEN WILLING TO
ENLIST IN THE SOUTH

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 1.-THE fact that
Lieutenant Louis Chappelear Of the Thir-
ty-fifth Volunteers, who has been recruit
ing for that regiment in Los Angeles, has
been ordered to Santa Ana to continue his
labors caused much comment in National
Guard circles. 1t is intimated that the
Government is in need of men to supply
this regiment and that the smaller towns
of Southern California will be secured for
material. Recruiting for the regular SER
vice has not been popular in this portion
of the State, therefore it seems as if in
towns where companies of the Seventh
Regiment remain no further attempts will
be made.
In commenting upon the present efforts
to subdue Aguinaldo's forces and the pos
sible number of men that may be required
former Senator Stephen NJ. White said to
a group of gentlemen that his views on
expansion and the so-called imperial pol
icy were we'll known, as he had made him
self clear in and out of Congress on the
question Senator White favors, since the
Government is in the conflict, the sending
of a large army to the Philippines. IF it
takes 200 900 men they had better be sent, ="
Senator White is quoted saying, for
then there will be no battle fought, as the
army will march through Luzon and take
It. Let all the men be sent that are need
ed so that an immense army can quickly
do the business. Less bloodshed and mis-
ery will result.

DAYTON SYSTEM TO BE TRIED.
Stockton Building Association Adopts
the Cooperative Plan

STOCKTON. Aug. 1.-THE stockholders
of the San Joaquin Building and Loan
Association have voted to reorganize
under what is known as the Dayton sys-
tenn. The system is that of a savings
bank operated upon the cooperative plan.
Persons may take stock at any time with
out paying back dues. Interest is charged
to the person who gets a loan only from
the time the money is paid him. All divi-
dends are credited on the books of the
members every six months. borrower
may pay off his loan at any time. A
member may withdraw part of his de-
posit without disturbing his shares
person may pay up one or more shares
of stock in full at one deposit. On paid
up stock the dividends are paid in cash
semi-annually. No initiation fees are
charged. The association settles with
each member every six months and cred
it's his earnings, showing the full amount
he has on deposit. At the end of each
year the borrowers beok is balanced and
shows him the amount he has paid on his
loan for the preceding year and the bal
ance due.
The plan takes its name from the we'll
known Ohio city. where, out of a popula-
ton of $4,000. over 10000 are members of
building associations. The system allows
large liberty to investors and borrowers
and without impairing" sound financial
methods.

FEARFUL HAVOC
WROUGHT BY HURRICANE

WASHINGTON, Aug. 11.-A report
has been received at the War Depart
ment from an officer at San Juan. Porto
Rico, estimating that the number of
killed amounts to 500 The same officer
says that a very serious condition of af-
fairs exists in Ponce.
The War Department received a
cablegram from General Davis giving
fuller details Of the damage done in
Porto Rico by the hurricane.
General Davis says a famine is i'm
pending, and asks authority to issue
rations to the destitute The message
is dated yesterday and says:
Later reports show that the hurri-
cane was far more severe in the inte-
rior and southern part of the island
than here. Data for an estimate of the
number of Porto Ricans who have lost
everything are deficient, but l am forced
to believe that the number on the island
cannot fall below 100000 souls, and
famine is impending. / ask that 2,500,
900 pounds of rice and beans, equal
quantities of each, be Immediately
shipped on transports to Ponce; some
here Urgent appeals are made to all
post commanders for food for the desti-
tute. l am authorized to relieve dis
tress by food issued; rice and beans
only desired. There have been many
deaths OIL natives ny IdlllHS Walls. 30
far only one soldier reported danger
ously injured. Several towns reported
entirely demolished. AS yet, however,
reports from only seaports. Complete
destruction of all barracks at two
towns, and two others--one COM
pany of each-had barracks de-
stroyed Troops are in canvas. No re-
ports yet from the largest ports-Ponce
and Mayaguez, but they were in the
vortex of the storm. AT least half of
the people in Porto Rico subsist entirely
on fruit and vegetables, and the storm
has entirely destroyed this source of
support. DAVIS"
The War Department has taken
prompt action on General Davis report.
The army transport Mcpherson has
been ordered to sail from New York to
San Juan and Ponce next Monday with
supplies to relieve the destitute in Porto
Rico. Acting Commissary General Wes-
ton has ordered the purchase in New
York of 100000 pounds of rice and 600,-
