M'ENERY's RESOLUTION.
Thought the House Will Not Take 1t
Tn at Once.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.-House leaders
familiar with foreign questions say no
programme has been matured or even
outlined thus far as to what will be
done with the McEnery resolution re-
lating to the Philippines passed by the
senate. 1t will probably go to the for
eign affairs committee, although the
point has been made that with the rat
ification of the treaty the Philippines
ore no longer foreign territory.
This view is held by Chairman Knox
Of the committee on territories. The
foreign affairs committee meets on the
call of Chairman HIT and no notice OF
a meeting has been given. Mr. Hit
said he would talk with his committee
associates before determining on any
plan.
Mr.. Dinsmore Of Arkansas. the rank
ing minority member of the committee
says the minority has not matured any
line of action, although it may propose
an amendment designed to eliminate
any suggestion of a colonial system
which the resolution may now convey.
Some of the members of the commit
tee stated privately that they would
not vote for the resolution if it could be
construed as objectionable to the ad-
minIstration. Owing to the absence of
all exact plans the impression prevails
In some quarters that there will be no
haste toward considering the subject.

His Manner of Bath,

At little cosmopolitan gathering in
home on the North Side the company
were discussing the unkind thrust at
Chicago for fatting the letter "a. ;"
when the girl from Boston remarked as
she peered serenely over her glasses
"We always give it the continental
accent For instance. we say bawth.
"Pshawr" said the New York girl.
Struggling her handsome shoulders.
"That isn't continental That's New
England Now. we always pronounce it
barth.
"You're away off," retorted Miss
Chicago. going into the subject neck
and elbows 1--WE are the most correct
people in the world. with all the up to
date knowledge there is, and we give
it the full value-baarth.
"There's a Londoner among us.
suggested one Of the company. Get
him to pronounce the word and notice
what he does with the "a. ="
So they tackled the bewildered Eng
lishman, without letting him know
their motive, but asking him solemn
questions about his opinion CT the bath
After regarding them with sphinxlike
stare through his monocled eye the
gentleman from London said

ENEMY STILL ALERT.
General Kings Brigade Meets and De.
teats Fililinos.
MANY REBELS ARRESTED.
American Troops Now In Camp Along
Their Line. the Natural lie.
lenses of Muniln Having
been Reached.

Manila, Feb. ia large body OF the
enemy, presumably accommodating. was
discovered on the right of Brigadlci
General Kings position, near San Pc
dro- Macati, in the morning.
The entire brigade turned out, and
after an exchange of volleys the rebels
retreated into the jungle and disappear
ed.
Wednesday night. Several shots were
fired from the fleet into the Paranaque
district, and searchlights were sweeping
the coast north and south of the city.
In house close to Colonel Funston
headquarters, in Binoda church' l'o
Filipinos were arrested at Il meet!n g.
They had no arms, but had 400 uni
forms.
Since the American line reached the
natural defenses of Manila no further
advance has been made. The American
troops are now in camp along the line,
and in many places they are tempo
rarjly intrenched. Occasional brushes
take place between small bodies OF e
enemy and our scouting parties, which
Ia the only excitement.
A Trooper Wounded.
Troops X and Of the Fourth cavalry
encountered the enemy's scouts near
Paranaque and exchanged volleys with
the rebels. Trooper Wilmer Of X troop
was wounded in the right arm.
The United States armed transport
Buffalo fired four small shells at the
enemy, having discovered. by the use OF
the searchlight, that the rebels we're
mounting a battery near Paranaque.
The rebels did not reply, but Withdrew
their guns to Paranaque.
The transports Brutus and Romulus
have arrived here from Iloilo. They did
not bring any later news. except that
the American authorities are clearing
vessels from there, showing that they
have assumed control of the port. The
rebels burned all the records before va
eating 1loilo.
1t is rumored that the Filipinos are In
sore straits in the interior and are now
auarrelng among themselves. 1t Is i'm
possible to confirm this, as all commune
cation with the interior is cut off.
Barre evening telegram. (Barre, Vt.) 1898-19??, 1899-02-18

Once more the disgraceful condition
Of our fire alarm system has been
brought to mind. Very few tiremen
heard the alarm this morning and no
matter how dangerous or extensive the
fire it would have been tho same. As
one of the tirelnen remarked ga tin horn
would be better than nothing at all"
This is matter that cannot brook de-
lay and the city fathers should lay
aside their politics long enough to have
that matter remedied before night.

Black EOOlcd Them.

Sir Wemyss Reid, in a personal sketch
Of his friend the late Mr.. Black in
The Speaker, tells how the novelist out

IA Daughter of Heth" appeared. 1t
took the town by storm. and as it ap-
peared anonymously Sir Wemyss heard
for the first time from an acquaintance
who the author was
1t Was with certain sense Of injury
that he asked, "Why. if Black wrote the
book. did he not put his name to it 2"
ooh, don't you knowY'' was the in
slant response. THAT is the best part
of the joke. The Saturday Review has
been down upon everything he has
written. so he purposely published this
book anonymously in order to take in
The Saturday Reviewers, and they were
the first people to sound the praises Of
"A Daughter of Heth' If his name had
been on the title page. they would
have damned it.
Unlike many bits of gossip about
successful authors. this-as Sir Wemyss
learned later from Mr.. Black own lips
