Archbishop Chappella dsnounces the
deportation of the Spanish friars from
Guam as an outrage. and is going t o
lay the matter bsfers President Mckinley.
"For four centuries" he says "these
frlars have laborsd for ths natives, taught
them agriculture, built houses and
schools for them, and spant their lives In
tsaching them the blessings of work and
Of Christianity, and In lifting them above
thu level of savages." This may all bs
true and still their expulsion be perfectly
justifiable. The ground Of Commander
Leary's action was that they oontinu ally
interfered with his administration and
by their influence on the natives thwarted
reforms which he endeavored to make.
Under Spanish dominion they were, M
their brethren were at Manila, the virtual
rulers Of the island, and undoubtedly
they wanted to be the same under COM

to which they may be

There was recruiting boom yester-

three men were accepted and four re-

in Co. X, Twelfth infantry, was ac-
cepted and chose cavalry service.

DEFENDS GOLD STANDARD
Representative Deliver RidiCuIes
SiIverites

Washington, Dec. 1.-THE feature of
the opening of the debate on the cur
rency bill in the House was the speech
of Mr.. Dolliver of Iowa. 1t was char
acterized by all the wit and eloquence
for which the Iowan is noted, and held
the members without regard to party.
for over an hour Mr.. Dolliver de-
clared that the last doubt in the re-
publican party as to the wisdom of
enacting the gold standard into law
had been resolved by the experience
of the business world during the past
three years. He scored Mr.. Bryan and
generally ridiculed the alleged false
prophecies of the democrats in 1896
Mr. De Almond of Missouri was the
heavy gun on the democratic side. He
warned the republicans from the west
that they could not deceive their con-
stituents in the coming congressional
elections, by claiming that they had
yielded to the wisdom of their col
leagues in the matter
Mr.. Mcclellan of New York was the
only other speaker today, He an
nounced his opposition to the bill on
the ground that 1t would contract the
currency, extinguish the bank notes
and enhance the value of coin bonds.
He appealed to those of his democratic
colleagues from New York who, it is
reported, intend to vote for the bill
not to do so.
