determination to take his office from Dock
cry instead of the people.
And now comes "Bill' Stone, big Dem
ocrat of Missouri, upon the political scene.
The story has gone out that ne TOOK
hand in the speakership fight in order 20
gain prestige for his campaign for gov
ernor. The knowing ones say that 1t Is
all bosh: that Stone does not need prestige;
that he has rival for greatness among
the Missouri Bourbons. They say that he
mixed up in the fight because of his op-
position TO the lobby and with the 'laudable
idea of reminding the people of Missouri
that Bill Stone is against the lobby on
general principles and will go out Of his
way TO fight the unclean thing.
They say that Stone has no intention of
entering the race for another term as gov
ernor, that new term could add nothing
TO his reputation and would set him back i'll
his career instead of advancing him. His
practice Of law is making him wealthy, and.
they say, he could not afford to give it up
for anNsoffice short of the presidency of the
United States.
But the candidates in the field against
Dockery are anxious that Stone shall take
a hand in the fight. The ex-governor has
thus far held aloof. and several of the can
didates are claiming that he is for them.
Now that the rumor of the Dockery-Sei-
bert deal is shaking the cpmplacency of the
field, the field has hit upon the plan of pit
ting Stone and Seibert against each other
with the view of disconcerting all con-
cerned. 1t is predicted that Stone Will not
deny the story of his candidacy. but will
plod along at his usual gait. with his ear
close to the ground. and when the time APP
proaches for holding the Democratic noml-
mating convention in 1900 the ex-governor
Will be found arm-in-arm with the winner,
ready to command the assistance of the
administration in his future ambitions. As
for Sebert. he is quietly laughing in his
sleeve.

Senior AEOncilIO Wants Same Rights

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senor Agoncillo,
who is in Washington the representa-
tive of the Philippine government. has
asked to be recognized by the United States
as such and to be accorded the same right
as the other diplomats" His request is
now in the hands of Secretary Hay. To-
day Don SiXto Lopez, the private secretary
of Senior Agoncillo, visited the state de-
partment and presented to the officials u
letter to Secretary Hay, requesting upon
behalf of Senor Agoncillo, an interview for
the purpose Of arranging to present his ere
dentials to President Mckinley and in
quiring when it would meet the conven-
fence of the president to meet the Philip
pine representative.
The letter of Senor Lopez further states
that he is instructed by Senior Agoncillo.
in view of recent developments. to urge
tween the American government and the
representative of the Philippine people, as
to the relations between the respective ma
tons; such understanding to be reached
representatives of the two governments, or
in the Philippine islands in like manner.
The letter concludes with an expression
of the earnest hope that the friendly rela-
peoples may ever be maintained.
Accompanying the letter is memoran-
dunn setting forth the establishment of the
Philippine republic and the provision for a

will appear that the Philippine government
is now as It has been practically ever

JUDGE FOSTERS RETIREMENT.
Judge Hook. of Leavenworth, VIII
Likely Be Given support of
Kansas SennfOrS ~..-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-tSpecial.) The
bill retiring Judge Foster, of the Kansas
district, is now before the president and
in the round of routine will become a law.
The question of who will succeed Judge
Foster is a burning issue. Representative
Broderick is supposed 10 be out of the
contest for judge. as it is believed he will
take his chances on being cared for in the
judicial machinery of Hawaii. 1t is un-
derNood that he would not object to an
assignment in Il mild climate and this dis
poses of him and his aspirations.
1t is believed the two senators from Kan
sas will recommend the appointment of
Baker and Harris. both being from Leav-
enworth county, they are expected TO take
this chute. Hook also being friend and
law partner of Baker does not damage
this impression.
Pension Agent Leland is also said to be
for Hook, by way of aiding Baker. He
does not think it would be well for Baker
precipitate a senatorial election in Kan
sas. Leland is willing for the coming
legislature to expire without indulsing in
the luxury of senatorial election excite
ment.
