PEACE BEFORE DISCHARGE
MUST REMAIN IN
THE RANKS.
No Discharge Until the Senate Ratifies
the Treaty-War Department Will
Grant No Favors.

WASHINGTON, January Ex-senator
Perkins has of late been almost over
whelmed with applications from pa
rents desiring to obtain discharges for
their sons from volunteer or regular
regiments. Senator Perkins today re-
ceived this ruling from the war de-
partment:
after the official declaration OF
peace all soldiers who enlisted between
April 21st and October 26th, 1898, inclu-
sive, in the regular army will be dis
charged If they so desire
Official declaration of peace cannot
of course, be promulgated until the
peace treaty is ratified and a certifica-
ton of this document may not occur
for some months.
Senator Perkins has been endeavoring
to secure the discharge of certain indi-
vidual soldiers. The war department
replied:
The department regrets very much
that it cannot grant discharge by favor
to soldiers on duty in the Philippines.
These regiments will return to the
United States in the order in which
they left the country. Regular troops
are now under orders to relieve them.

After declaring that the peace treaty
could not pass unamended, he said:
Il do not believe any of the so called
anti-eXpansionists are in favor of
turning the Philippines back to Spain
Certainly 1 am not. So far, therefore,
as Spain is concerned, her status would
not be changed in the least. One way
to avoid the dangers that threaten us
would be to amend the third article OF

AT THE ORPHEUM.

There was a big house at the Orphe-
um last evening to witness the great
war drama Through the Lines. In
this fascinating play the new company
was fully up to the mark Every de-
tail of the plot was well staged For
a drama applause was abundant and
appreciation was general.
The play though is too heavy for the
usual Orpheum audience, and did not
call forth the applause that greeted
the company in their play How Hop
per was Sidetracked. 1t is very appar-
ent that what the every night theater
goer wants is fun and plenty of it.
The play Through the Lines will be
repeated again this evening, and it can
be recommended to those fond of melo-
drama.
