THE MCENERY RESOLUTION.

The Senate adopted the McEnery
resolution Tuesday by vote of 26 to
%, Vice President Hobart defeating
the Bacon amendment by his casting
vote, the Senate being tie, % to 20,
on its adoption, the strictly admins
tration senators voting, like the Vice
President, against this attempt to
commit the government to the dec
laration that it would recognize the
independence of the PHILIPPINES in the
future. The McEnery resolution was
not satisfactory to some administra-
ton senator's, like Carter, Platt of
Connecticut and Stewart, who thought
it unwise to make any declaration of
our intentions, and voted against it.
There was an evident difference of
it, respecting both the Bacon amend
ment and the McEnery resolution,
and the roll calls on these two propo-
sitions ran right across the lines of
the roll call on the ratification of the
treaty, although generally the advo-
Gates of the peace treaty voted against
the Bacon amendment and for the
McEnery resolution, and generally
the opponents of the peace treaty
voted the other way.
AS matter of fact it is expected
that the McEnery resolution, which is
joint resolution in form and must
be adopted by the house and signed
by the president to have any validity
whatever, will never get beyond the
committee on foreign affairs, to which
it will be referred when it reaches the
house. Tt IS we'll known that the
president does not want any crude
declaration of policy respecting the
future of the Philippines in advance
of the securing of adequate knowl-
edge for determining what the policy
ought to be, and it is likely that the
house of representatives will compel
him to pass upon such resolution as
that of Senator McEnery.

The Woodstock Standard, in com
menting on Hon. @. S. Page's chances
to receive the nomination as repre-
sentative from the first Congressional
district, says:
"Mr. Pages abilities in the way of
organization, systematizing and push
ing a campaign have been pretty
thoroughly proven. In addition he is
known of all men and women in the
state, and nearly all the children. He
stands nearer to the people than al
most any other citizen. He is a man
of intense vigor. His large and sue
cessful business interests, built up en-
tirely by himself, form a towering
monument to his versatile capabili
ties. Vermont already has one shrewd
business man in Congress who is as
conspicuously successful there as in
his own private enterprises. Why not
another?o

The terrible storm which swept over
the country last week Saturday and
Sunday continued Monday and Tues
day; in many sections all traffic was
blocked and the suffering was great,
and on the sea several lives were lost.
The fall of snow was very heavy; the
railroads were thoroughly blocked
throughout New England, and the
blockade extended in other sections.
In and about Boston, the steam and
electric cars were obliged to give up
all efforts to get out and the people
living in the suburban towns had to
remain in Boston for the time. The
vessels at the wharf were covered
with ice and snow and could not
leave their moorings. A number of
the steamers have been driven out of
their regular course by the storm and
now several days overdue. Many re-
ports of suffering to man and beast
are coming in from the central and
western states, while in the south the
mercury had been below zero in
many places where it seldom falls be-
low the freezing point.

The House has settled the fate of
the Nicaragua Canal bill in this Con-
gress by refusing to over ride the de-
cisison of the chair in committee of
the whole when the chair held that
the Canal bill offered as an amend
ment by Mr.. Hepburn was out of or
der. The friends of the Nicaragua
Canal were very confident that they
would triumph but after four hours of
debate the chair was sustained 127 to
100. Mr.. Baily, the democratic lead
er, made an argument in favor Of the
view that the amendment was in or
der. Mr.. Grosvenor of Ohio, bore the
brunt of the argument in behalf of
this contention. Messrs. Moody of
Massa sachusetts, Dockery of Missouri,
and Fleming of Georgia were pitted
against him. The debate was exceed
ingly spirited and in the end major
ity of the members refused to over
ride the House rules. No record is
made of the vote in committee of the
whole. Party lines were not adhered
to, the Lewiston in favor of aud in op
position to sustaining the chairs de-
cision being about equal on both sides.

meet Wednesday and get right down
to work, but it will take some time for
it to finish it's job. The appointment
of this court of inquiry shows that in

Gen. Miles, the president is disposed
to afford him every opportunity to
make good his charges.

There is some unfavorable comment
because of the Queen Regent having
delayed the meeting of the Spanish
Cortes for the ratification of the
peace treaty until Feb. 20. This de-
lay is not at all strange as the speed
with which the treaty was ratified in
this country would not be at all likely
to induce the Queen TO take action to
free the hands of the American ad
ministration, when an American SEN

An ADVERTISING TRUTH.

1t is true that advertising will not
put merit into poor merchandise, but
good merchandise often becomes poor
for the want of good advertising.
Advertising experts disagree upon
many points relative to the best man
ner of using space in newspapers,
programs Or whatever medium is Sc
lected to proclaim the sale of goods;
but they unanimously agree in this,
that the merchant who abandons per-
sistant advertising during the dull
periods of the year commits a fatal
blunder. Some even. urge that dur
ing these periods his advertising
should be pushed even harder than
when business is not so difficult to Sc
cuse. This is SO palpably true as to
be almost self evident. 1t is perfect
ly patural for merchant to shave
down his expenses as much as posi-
BILE when business begins to fall of,
and it rather goes against the grain to
invest in adds when there is but little
trade coming into the store; but if
he advertises in the right manner
the right goods il the right way at the
right time-hei is certain to reap pro-
fit as result Of the method. This is
said without reserve, for the evidence
to prove the assertion is overwhelm-
ing.

This afternoon at 2:30 sharp Profes- sor E. C. Griffith will perform the re- markable feat of putting a lady in d cataleptic trance to last eight hours. This performance takes place in front of Goodman's drug store promptly at 2:3O. The lady will then be placed in the large corner window of Goodman's s drug store, corner of Center and Washington, where she will remain until 7;30 D. m., when she will be taken to the Patton Grand opera house and be made to undergo the remarkable stone breaking test, consisting of sus- pending her between two chairs sup ported with the head resting on one, the heels on the other, and while thus suspended in mid air a stone weighing 5OO pounds will be placed on her chest and broken with 20-pound stone hammer.

since he went away, and he fielded his position like a general. With the rise of Hartwell came the fall of Jones, the
 crack pitcher of the Phoenix team. It
 must have been a new sensation to { him to be pounded as he was yester- day afternoon. It was certainly a new
 one on the fans, for Jones was never known to allow so many hits as he did in the Sunday game. Another notice able thing in the present series is the remarkably heavy batting that is done on both sides. Dunn lost his head com pletely at short but he did good work with the stick, and Gibbs, who played
 short for the Phoenix team, acciden- tally got into wrong position in the throw-up.
 Phoenix opened the game with Gibbs at bat. He walked to first, stole second, and was out getting to third when Moves singled to short Moves stole second and tried to get third in the same way but failed. and Brawley struck out. For the visitors Hartwell ran on strikes and was out, Brown sent up a high one to Cochrane, and Stewart followed with the same kind of a pop to McGrath.
 In the second Fiedler hit to Hart well failing at first. Tyler struck out, Collins singled to short, and McGrath also sent the ball to short and secured the first bag on Dunn's huff C2ch- rane drove the ball to right for a single scoring Collins, Gibbs walked and COchrane, in the meantime, had stolen second, and, with McGrath died on Moves failure to secure the first bag. Dunn and White singled in Tue sons half, and LamlIin popped the ball to Jones who threw to first put ting the runner out. The ball was thrown wild to third and Dunn scored. White, who had gone to second. stole third when Roland came to bat, and scored on Kelley's single to Cochrane. Lopez struck out and ended the side.
 Brawley scored for Phoenix in the third by a sacrifice hit by McGrath. Hartwell, Brown and Dunn made hits for Tucson and Hartwell made a run on Dunns hit. The fourth was without runs. The Phoenix team made double and Jones struck out. In the visitors half the home team made a triple play. It happened in this way. Lamkin pounded a liner through second for one bag and stole second. Roland made a single. and Kelley took his stick and bunted with the hope of advancing the men and gaining his base. His bunt went to Jones mitt, and Lamkin and Bolan were caught off their bases.
 There was great deal of heavy bat ting and the score was tied up in knot by Phoenix in the ninth. The visitors failed to score in their half, and in the tenth both sides retired without runs. The home team made run in the eleventh and the visitors had two to make to win out. White secured the first bag, and Lamkin 1oi- lowed on a single to right field, put was put out at second. White secured third and came in on Boland's slnGie. Kelley then did the trick that saved the day for the visitors. He pounded the ball into the weeds of center held for a home run, Roland coming Ill ahead of him.
