General Palmer'S Story.

'"The reports of the threatened blind
ness Of ex-senator Palmer of Illinois
brings to my mind the last talk l had
with him, and the last story 1 heard
him tell" said an Illinois Congressman.
''It was in Springfield last spring at
the old Senator's home. A visitor had
been repeating some Spanish boasts,
and expressed the fear that we should
not come out Of the war with an easily
won victory.
""That makes me think of a man,
said the ex-senator, who used to live
down here in Macoupin County, at Car
1inville. He went down to st. Louis
once, and when he came back he was
full of bad whisky and fighting talk.
He got off the train at Carlinville de-
pot and began to talk big.
''' ''Whoopeev' he said, 81 can lick
any man in this town.
Nobody paid the slightest atten-
ton. and the man went on
'.'''I bet L can lick any man in Ma
coupin County" he yelled.
"'Stil nobody noticed him. He
waxed holder.
"'.Come onr' he shouted. 81 can
lick any man in the State of Illinoy."
".Here somebody took exception to
his remarks and knocked him down.
He struggled to a sitting posture and
appeared to reflect.
"."Oh, JIM" he said to himself,
aloud "Oh. Jim, reckon you took in
too much territory that last time" -

THE PHILIPPINE QUESTION.
Senator Harris Thinks There VIII BE Early
Action Taken by Congress on
the Matter.

Washington, Oct. 2.-Senator Har-
ris. of Kansas, who is in Washington,
says he thinks there will be early ac-
tion by congress on the Philippine
question. He believes that there will
be strong disposition to give the
Philippines free government, with
certain control over their international
affairs by this government consistent
with the responsibility we incur in
their behalf, and with the retention by
the United States of perhaps a great
naval station and port and city,
which shall be a great emporium
of American trade and commerce in the
orient. He believes that under the
surface this is what the great mass Of
the American people want, and that
they do not want the Filipinos as
either American citizens or colonial
subjects Of this government lie be-
lieves that the thinking American who
wants expansion means by that expan-
sion Of trade, not empire.
