MIR. DAVIS PLEADS.

Addresses the senate Mt Length on the
Necessity OF Ratifying the Treaty.
WASHINGTON. Jan. Ex-senator Davis
Of Minnesota occupied the entire time
Of the executive session Of the senate
presenting the American commissions
reasons for the acceptance of the treaty
in the form in which ii was finally con-
cluded. This presentation consisted
largely in the quotation of the various
propositions made on each side of the
controversy at Paris. and while the
speech was thus rendered somewhat
formal it received tn. closest and most
careful attention. Speaking outside OF
the published record Senator Davis said
the Americans of the commission had
been in constant communication with
the president while negotiating the con
vcntion: that he was made acquainted
with all the commissions movements.
and while he admitted that there had
been apparently some division of op.n'
ion among pnblicists in the United
States as to the policy of including the
Philippines in the agreement, there had
been practically
No Other Honorable Way
ont Of the difficulty. As for himself
Mr. Davis was willing from the start &c
extend our borders SO as TO include the
| islands because he believed their ac
| uuisition a most important stride In the
| advancement Of the American nation,
commercially and otherwise. He, with
others, was looking forward to the pros
pective partition of the vast Chinese
empire among the European nations
and he foresaw that if the United State:
| did not secure footing III the Orient

10 secure through the terms OF thu
treaty, they would be most effectuali,

in this or any other matter. The Euro

the United States and the senator DE-
ciared that it was fact that we ha

recent struggle with Spain or in our ei
, forts to secure peace favorable to tEi
country. He intimated that but fo

FOOTBALL TEAMS
wichita Making Arrangements for
Struggle on q ridfron,

Now that the football season IS ap-
preaching, the prospects for good games
in Wichita are very promising. The
City High school will have a strong team
on the gridiron again and II will be COM
posed mostly of the team of last year.
Lewis academy is talking of organizing
a team, as are the Paramount people.
Both institutions have good material to
select a team from and good reports will
be expected from each. Captain Everett
Alexander, OF the Friends University, is
picking out mis- men for this falls games.
Several of the players of last year will
not be in school, but Coach Williams is
confident that strong team will be in
evidence. Mr.. Myron Boyle, the manager
of the Friends University team, is en-
deavoring to form a league among sew
eral of the colleges Of southwestern Kan
sas. which. IL formed. will assure Wichita
a series OF good, scientific games ring
ing with college enthusiasm and spirit.
Football as it WAS played In Wichita
last year made many enthusiasts among
the town people. and IL Is thought that
another season of such scientific playing
will entirely do away with the idea that
football is not the ideal college game.

BIG WARE HOUSE
To be Built In Wichita by
Mccormick People.
WHOLESALE SHIPMENTS
Of Machinery From Wichita
Instead of Kansas City,

This Mccormick Harvesting Machine and
implement company win erect big brick
block In Wichita to be used as a ware
room for their machines so that whole
sale shipments can be made from wich-
ita instead OF Kansas City or Chicago. Al
ready the Mccormick people employ sew
eral travelling men out of Wichita and
the territory Is increasing and business
becoming heavier under the direction OF
Manager Porter and his able assistants.
1t has not been determined yet when
the work Of construction on the new brick
block will begin or where II will be put,
but Manager Porter will go to Chicago
soon to consult with the Mccormick peo-
pie about the matter. The Wichita house
supplies its patrons north to Mcpherson,
west to Colorado. east to Eureka and
south throughOklahoma to Texas now,
and requires the handling Of thousands Of
Implements yearly. The storing of fifty or
seventy-fve carloads Of implements here
will expedite the companys business In
this territory. 1t will employ a great
many more men in This city, 1t will be
another very valuable recognition of WI
chita's advantages as a wholesale center.
The building 10 be constructed b. the
Mccormick people will contain not less
than 5000 square feet OF floor space and
will be fitted with offices for the clerical
force employed here.

PYROTECHNIC EXHIBITIONS
Fireworks Company ut the
Fair Grounds.

The greatest fireworks display ever
given in Wichita Is promised at the Far
grounds on Tuesday, Thursday and Sat
urday, August Is. IT and 10. The Battle
OF Santiago will be reproduced on Tues
day, the Battle Of Manila on Thursday
and the European Spectacular Perform
ance on Saturday. Prof Sanford's full
band has been secured for half hour
concert before each performance.
AS the expenses Of the company are so
large they will only make dates for an
entire week, and In order to enable all to
go to the three exhibitions the price has
been put at Is cents for all over u years
of age and 10 cents for children under u.
The following Is OF recent date and ex-
presses THE general opinion:
The spectacular performance given last
night by the Syndicate Fireworks COM
pany excels everything ever seen in this
city The Battles of Manila and Santiago
were far better than Payne's perform
ance. 1t was as realistic as though you
were seeing the real battle The attend
ance was about 11.OOO. There was APP
plause upon applause after every set
piece that was fired. This company de-
serves great credit for such beautiful dis
play as they produce.-Akron Courier.

terest of human liberty and will be held
until this government shall determine
