OF the speeches, with the notable eX-
ception Of that of Mr.. Plat OF Con-
Eecticut have been in opposition to
what is presumed to be the policy Of
the administration with respect to the
acquisition of the Philippines. Yester-
day Mr.. Foraker of Ohio addressed
the senate in opposition to the declar-
alton Of the Vest resolution that the
United States has no constitutional
power to acquire foreign territory TO
be maintained as colonies. While
much of his speech was devoted to Il
constitutional argument in support of
the right Of this country as nation
to acquire and govern outlying terri
tory, he gave particular attention to
the utteranceS that have been made III
contravention of that position, espe-
cially those of Mr.. Vest and Mr.. Hoar
Senator Foraker laid down the broad
proposition that to adopt the Vest res
Olution was to declare that our fathers
had brought forth nation that was
inferior to all other nations, regardless
Of the generally accepted idea that one
nation was the equal of another and
all equally restricted. He maintained
that the right to acquire territory was
an inherent right of nationality, and
that as we have the right to make
war and to enter into treaty agree
ments * follows logically that we have
the power to acquire territory by con-
quest and to assume the responsible.

however, that we have legal right TO
hold the islands permanently.
Prior TO the speech of Mr.. Foraker
sharp debate was precipitated by Mr..
Allen Of Nebraska by some remarks
he made upon a resolution he had in
troduced. Mr.. Hoar and Mr.. Gray
were drawn into 1t.
At $40 p. IN. the senate, on motion OF
Mr.. Davis, went into executive session.
Senator Davis reported the peace
treaty, stating that it had not been
amended. He moved at the same
time that the treaty and the proceed
ings of the peace commission be made
public. This motion led to debate.
The discussion was brief, however,
and the motion to remove the injunc-
ton Of secrecy prevailed without d.
vision.

FALL OF AN AERONAUT.
Descending with His Parachute He Lands
ON Top of a Trolley Car.

Descending with Ills Parachute He Lands
ON Top of n Trolley Car
Chicago, Aug. 28.-John LOOMS,
parachute jumper, made an ascension
from Sans Souci park Sunday after
noon. He landed on the roof of a
Sixty-first street electric car. Twelve
thousand persons saw the balloon leave
its mornings inside the park. 1t shot
upward to height of about 1000 feet
and fioated toward the west. Loomis
pulled the parachute cord when the
massive air bag was floating over the
vicinity OF Sixtieth street, near the
elevated railroad tracks. The para
chute unfolded and descended grace
fully. Loomis saw that he might land
on the gabled roof of a residence, and
attempted to guide the parachute. He
avoided the building and was SO intent
on missing it that he did not notice
that he was coming down directly on
top OF the trolley wires in Sixty-first
street, between Wabash and Michigan
avenues. A fast-approaching electric
car, crowded with passengers, was go
ing east on Sixty-first street. The pas
sengers had been watching the aero
naut. and they set up a shout, it ap-
pearing that he would land just in
front of the car.
Motorman +. d. Brewer, assisted by
the press agent of the park, applied
the brakes and brought the car to a
stop just as Loomis struck the roof
full on his feet. His parachute fell
over the open side of the car and en-
tangled half dozen passengers who
had leaped from their seats, and
panic ensued, the ropes being mistaken
for broken trolley wire.
Mrs. Henrietta Herbeson of 1905 Cal
umet avenue was thrown to the pave
ment, but was not severely injured.
Two of her front teeth were knocked
out. Loomis struck the right side of
his face against the trolley wire and
received a burn which was very pain
full. He was assisted from the car roof
by the press agent of the park and Ser
geant Dan Brown of the Fiftieth street
police station. He was taken to a
drug store, where Dr. G. t. Palmer of
1904 Indiana avenue, assisted by the
press agent, dressed the burn.
A crowd of 1900 persons had gath
cred by this time and some excited in
dividual turned in call for the police
The officers assisted in untangling and
folding up the parachute. Loomis and
his parachute were then taken to Sans
Souci park in the patrol wagon. The
aeronaut said that in making more
than $50 ascensions during the past ten
years he had never encountered so
much excitement before. Although the
burn on his face is severe one, and
he will probably be marked for life,
he regarded it as trifing. Mrs. Herbe-
son was taken to her home in car
rage

What the Outlook Is for Wheat, Oats,
Corn and Other Products.

Lemars, Ia, Aug. 23.-Only two
thirds Of the grain in northwest Iowa
and adjacent sections of Minnesota,
Dakota and Nebraska is stacked. Farm
ers are threshing from the shock on
account of inability to get stackers. In
Sioux, Plymouth, O'Brien and Wood
bury counties wheat is running very
light, averaging forty-five to fifty-two
pounds to the bushel and ten and
twelve bushels to the acre. White Rus
sian oats will average sixty-five to sew
enty bushels to the acre. Early light
German oats will run forty to forty
five. There is a fair, even stand of
corn, promising the biggest average in
fifteen years. Potatoes will run 100 to
$50 bushels to the arce. There is a
good crop of barley, big crop. Owing
to the great amount of dew it's color is
poor, being too yellow for the breweries.
Rye promises fair yield of good quail
ity. Timothy and clover were cut just
before harvest.
The hay crop is exceedingly heavy,
the heaviest ever known in this sec
ton. The after growth, or second crop,
will be ready for cutting in two or
three weeks. The young clover is in
bloom and the young timothy is two
feet high. This will be the first after
growth of timothy ever cut hereabouts.

Instantly the tramps drew revolvers
and fired. The brakemen fell wounded,

tramps threw the wounded victims un-

Offered to Conquer the Rebels.
Mandi is well known to the Ameri-
cans as one of the most powerful and
influential chieftains in the island of
Mindanao. When General Bates Wis.,
tied the island Mandi gave him a most
hearty welcome and claimed American
citizenship. He rendered the services
of 1900 men to the American officer
and offered to conquer the insurgents

assistance from the Americans. No
