REPORT WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
No Effort Made to Swap Philippines
for British West Indies.

London, Jan, 16,-~Diplomats refuse To
take seriously the revival of the report.
cabled from Washington, that the United
States is willing to exchange the Philip
pine Islands for the British West Indian
Islands.
A high official of the foreign Office char
acterized the statement as absurd He
said that while the continental powers APP
peared to be willing to permit the United
States to hold the Philippines as spols of
war, they would not be likely to remain
passive spectators of change in the bal
ance of power in the Far East which
would result from Great Britain's acquire
ment of those Islands, particularly so az
this critical time in the struggle for dom
ination in China.
The official Furthermore remarked that
he did not believe Great Britain or the
United States courted the inevitable pro-
tests and complications which would re-
suit from the proposed exchange
II such negotiations are on foot, the
officials of the United States embassy
here have no knowledge of them.

THE CzAR GREETs TOLsToI.
Asked His Aid in the Armament
Limitation Plans.


London, Jan. 1.-THE Daily Mail prints
the following dispatch from Odessa:
While journeying north from Livadia
Emperor Nicholas, during a break for
luncheon at Toola, capital Of the govern
ment of the same name in Central Rus
sia, sent a delicately worded message ex-
pressing his desire to see Count Leo Toll
stoi Contrary to expectation, Tolstoi ac-
cepted the invitation and soon appeared
at the railroad station.
'In his peasants garb he presented a
striking contrast to the richly dressed en-
tourage of the Car. Emperor Nicholas
kissed him on the mouth and both cheeks,
Tolstoi readily responding.
"Then a conversation commenced, the
Gar asking his guest for an opinion upon
the imperial proposal for the limitation Of
the armaments. Count Tolstoi replied
that he could only believe in it when his
majesty should set ths. example to other
nations. on the subject, the Gar men
tioning the difficulties of the problem and
the necessity for the united aid of the
Powers, the Count softened somewhat and
expressed the hope that his majesty would
be able to attain some definite end or, at
any rate, to formulate some workable plan
at the conference.
"The Gar, thanking him for his good
wishes, said he would be pleased if Toll
stoi could be induced to lend his genius
to the solution of the question, and the
Count said that the Emperor might count
on his cooperation, for he was already
engaged on work dealing with the ques-
ton in point which would soon see the
light"

THE SILVER ISSUE LIVES.
Col. Bryan Says II EmbOdies the
Hopes of American People.

Denver, Jan. 16.-Col. w. j. Bryan de-
clared to-day, in a brief speech, which
he made at the public reception given
to him by the Bimetallic League of this
city, that the silver issue is still very much
alive. He said:
THE cause lives because it enbodies the
hopes, the aspirations and the belief Of
our people. 1t is a strong cause. because
the people need silver. The American peo-
pie favor bimetalism. never mind where
the silver is produced. We do not need
it because il is produced here. People
eat because they need to do so, not be-
cause food has 10 be consumed. And so
with gold and silver. They are important
in the worlds commerce, because they
are needed, and you can never destroy sill
yer while it is needed. The farmer the
creator of wealth, knows that the gold
standard lowers prices without raising
money. And if the gold standard should
be established, you may set it down that
the day of bankruptcy is not far ahead
To restore bimetallism is to restore the
parity between money and property
"Those who advocate the gold standard
as a rule, know that the gold dollar is
neither stable nor honest The strength
of the gold standard is to be found in
the money centers, and its strongest ad-
Vocates are those, who when their dollar
is invested, want it to go up.
IF our cause is just, and / firmly be-
lieve ii is, its triumph is sure Truth can
not be crushed to earth. The hour of dea n
Is not here"

COMMISSION TO PHILIPPINES.
Duties Before the Body That the
President VIII Appoint.

Washington, Jan. 16-The commission,
which the President is about to appoint
to proceed to the Philippines, will not be
subject to the confirmation of the United
States Senate but will be named under the
reserved authority of the President, and
its expenses win be paid out of the war ap-
Dropriations.
It is not expected to commit the United
States government 10 a recognition of the
independence of the natives, nor is it to
frame scheme of government for the is
land as was the case with the Hawaiian
commission. Undoubtedly. however, the
commissioners viii unofficially confer with
the natives and advise with the military
authorities, it being felt here that men of
their experience and qualifications will be
valuable counseHors in the conditions now
existing.
1t is believed that the natives can be
kept from hostiities until the arrival of
The commission at Manila, and then il is
hoped that the best results will follow the
visit, including the reinsurance of the
natives upon many points as to which they
are now doubtful.
1t will be perceived, also, that by the ap-
pointment of the commission, the Presi-
dent is granting the appeal of some of the
best Filipjnos, who are confident that both
sides will be enlightened by its creation,
and declare that the United States gov
ernment will be shown that the abilities
of the Filipinos for government have been
Underestimated while the Filipinos them
selves will be induced to have patience
before insisting upon instant seif-govern-
ment.
So far as can be gathered, the PTesi-
dent has not completed the list of the COM
missioners, supposing that he includes
Gen. Otis and Admiral Dewey, he would
add the names of President Schurman of
Cornell University and Prof. Worcester of
Ann Arbor He has under consideration
Charles DENLY as the last member, but as
Mr.. DENLY is engaged with the war in
vestigatlng commission at present, with
an indefinite programme before him, he
has not positively decided to appoint him.

PROTEST AGAI1sT ROBERTS.
North Carolina Legislature Wants
Him Shut Out.


Raleigh, N. c., Jan. 16.-In the House Of
Representatives of the general assembly
of North Carolina, Mr.. Patterson of Cald-
well county to-day offered a resolution
protesting against the seating Of b. II.
Roberts of Utah.
The resolution calls upon the senators
and representatives in Congress from
North Carolina, not only to oppose the
seating of Mr.. Roberts, but to pass law
covering all such cases in the future. The
text Of the resolution follows:
Whereas. at an election held In Utah
in November, p. H. Roberts was elected
as a member Of the Flfty-sixth Congress
of the United States, and as the said y.
II. Roberts Is a polygamst, having three
wives and living in wilful defiance Of the
sense of morality of the American people,
Therefore be 1t resolved, by the Sen
ate and House of Representatives of the
state Of North Carolina, that our senators
and representatives in tSe Fifth-hfth Con-
gress advocate the passing of a law which
will forever debar polygamist from occu-
pying O seat in the Senate or House of
Representatives of the United States.
"Resolved, second, that our representa-
tlves In the Fifty-sixth Congress be re-
auested to use all the means In their
power 20 prevent the seating of the said
b. II. Roberts, member-elect from Utah.
"Resolved third that the secretary of
state be and Is hereby directed to send a
COPY of these resolutions Immediately
upon their passage to the members of the
FtEty-hfth Congress- and 10 the elected
members OF the Fifty-sixth Congress"

SEEMS TO BE LITTLE HOPE.
Belief at Biloxi That the Paul Jones
Has Gone Down.

Has GOne Down.
Biloxi, Miss, Jan. 16.-After a thorough
and frutless search of the coast there
seems to be little cause for hope that the
naphtha launch Paul Jones is afloat, and
every reason to believe that the persons
aboard her perished.
Additional light is thrown on the move
ments of the launch after she passed out
of the Mississippi river by Capt. o. Nielsen
of the steamer Georgia, plying as a pas
senger and towboat between here and Ship
Island, who gives a description of a
launch which he passed on the morning
of Jan ), while on a trip from Scranton
to Biloxi tallying with the description of
the missing craft. Capt. Nelson says that
the launch was about fifty feet in length,
had a strongly built house on her deck,
finished in a dark wood probably mahog-
any, and attracted his attention because
she was much larger than any of the
launches usually seen on the coast.
When the Georgia passed her she was
about half way between Ship Island and
the mainland, and was heading for Grant's $
Pass. This is the regular route taken by
pleasure craft, keeping in shore. In the
ordinary course of events the launch
should have reached Mobile the next day.
This IS the last hIOruatlOH ODldlHaDle
concerning Il.
on the arrival of the tug Leo at Scran-
ton this evening her captain reported see
inc a large launch fifteen miles south of
Horn Island. 1t was at first supposed that
this was the missing Paul Jones, but later
Gulf navlgators who have been watching
tho coast closely for week, declared that
the Lees find was one of the Baldwin
launches out of New Orleans, which left
Pearl river and which was reported by
lookouts on Saturday evening.

pending a contest. The Democrats in the
House also declared vacant the seat Of
Brohard from Taylor county, pending a
