The Anti-Tobacco League Cadets
were overcome by the enemy before
they had fairly become settled on Their
camping ground. and, Saturday morn
ing, were forced to strike came and
beat a retreat. The boys went into
camp the latter part Of Friday after
noon. They had been there but short
time before Gilman field presented the
appearance Of a camp under the charge
Of the United States regulars. Long
before lights out" was sounded the
enemy made its appearance. No at
tcntion was paid to the challenge Of the
guards Contrary TO all military laws
ana more like Filipinos it sneaked in
past the guard ana in short time had
fun possession Of the camp. The
guards retreated to the tents, where
they spent the night. soon the enemy
began to appear inside the tents and it
was then seen by the cadets that the
worst enemy they would have to deal
with would be the rain.
Like true soldiers they stuck ii out
in spite Of the tents being soaked
through. and rolled in their blankets,
managed to secure a little sleep. Soon
after rovcilIe camp was struck and the
bows were obliged to return tO their
homes to avoid too great exposure.
Tho bows were greatly disappointed,
for they had prepared an elaborate pro-
t,ramme and were anticipating that
Great many visitors would be present
Even the minutest details had been ar
ranged ana had ii not been for the rain
the boys would have been able 70 show

was. the boys have given up the idea
Of camping for the present, but will
make arrangements later for another

DEMOCRATIC POLICY.
House Caucus Adopts Antiexpansion
Resolution.

Resolution.
At caucus of the Democratic mem
bers of the house of representatives
held in the hall of the house the follow
ing declaration of policy and resolutions
as to the. Philippines We're adopted:
1--WE hold that the constitution of the
United States was ordained and estab-
lished for an intelligent, liberty loving
and self governing people and cannot
be successfully applied to a people of
different virtues and conditions We
therefore hold that a colonial policy is
contrary to the theory of our govern
ment and subversive of those great
been taught to cherish. We believe,
with the Declaration of Independence,
that all governments derive their just
powers from the consent of the govern
ed, and we are unalterably opposed to
the establishment of any government
by the United States without the con-
sent of the people to be governed, and
in conformity with these principles we
instruct the minority members of the
foreign affairs committee to introduce
and urge the following resolution:
Resolved, That the United States

eighty, jurisdiction or control over the
Philippine Islands and assert their de-
termination when an Independent gov
eminent shall have been erected there
in to transfer to said government upon
terms which shall be reasonable and
just all rights secured under the cession
by Spain and thereupon to leave the
government and control of the islands
/ to their people"
4 Another resolution by Mr.. Griggs OF
Georgia was adopted, as follows:
1--WE, the Democratic members of the
house of representatives in caucus as
sembled, commend the signal loyalty
and valor OF our soldiers and sailors il
4 the performance of every military duty
to which they have been assigned by
proper authority, however much we
may deplore the policy of the admins
tration now directing their movements
and we pledge to them our hearty sup
port and sympathy under all circum
stances wherever engaged"
