We publish elsewhere in this ,s'

weekly letter of Henry Clews, the
noted financial agent and banker,
In many of his deductions Mr..
Clews is probably correct, but the
allegation that silver agitation pre-
cipitated the panic of 1898 or the
consequent depression following is
wide of the mark. Mr.. Clews, like
many others engaged in the manip-
ulation of the money market, be-
lieves that the only way to keep
the silver issue in allegiance is to at.

hedge them in with all the dangers
to which they were surround d in
the years following 1878.

The times are getting better, the
world is getting better; in fact,
everything is getting better than it
was. The thought and literature of
the world was never 80 pure as it
is to-day. Mans inhumanity to
man never caused so few to mourn
as it does just now. There is more
liberty in the state, more love in
the home, more hope in the heart
than ever known before. The world
has been humanized rill the will of
nations seems but a quick response

California's poll tax law is in
striking contrast with that of Ari-
zona, in that voters are exempt
from payment of poll tax, while in
Arizona poll tax is a necessary
qualification. In this Arizona is
away behind the times. The pay.
ment of poll tax is too antiquated
to be foisted upon the people in this
enlightened age, and to make it a
necessary qualification to vote will
keep many away from the polls,
while the criminal and purchasable
element will be on hand to vote
early and often at the behest of the
politician, The astute wire puler
will see to it that his henchmen

PRIrCHARD's AMENDMENT
Looking to Care Of Confederates Graves
Introduced in the Senate.

Washington. Jan. 27.-(Special)--
Senator Pritchard today introduced in
the Senate his amendment to the ap-
preparation bill which is designed to be
the first step toward carrying out the
suggestions of the President for the
care of the Confederate graves. This
amendment provides for an appropria-
ton for the preliminary work 1t is
as follows: To enable the Secretary of
War 10 make Il thorough examination
and report to Congress as to the num-
her OF Confederate cemeteries IN the
United States and the location thereof,
and the number Of Confederate soldiers
buried in other than Confederate ceme-
teries and the location of such cemeter-
les with the view to ascertain the best
method Of caring for the Confederate
cemeteries and alsa for removal where
practicable or desirable of Confederate
dead from private cemeteries to Confed-
crate cemeteries, the sum of $4,000
As the amendment explains on It's
face it provides simply for paving the
way for the work. This is probably all
that will be done by this Congress, but
after the information has been ascer-
tanned it is fully expected that the work
will go on and that the graves, especially
in distinctive Confederate cemeteries,
will be cared for

HULL WILL REDUCE MEN
AN ARMY OF SIXTY THOUSAND
NOW ASKED.
TO ADD MEN IF NECESSARY
Mr.. Johnson Declares he Will Fight this Ma.
Chinery Which is Being Forged to Car
ry Out Colonial Policy, to
the Bitter End,

Washington, Jan. 27-The opposition
to the army reorganization bill on the
Republican side of the House has be-
come SO strong that to-day Chairman
Hull, after Mr. Henderson, Of Iowa,
one of the floor leaders of the majority,
had threatened to vote to reconmit the
bill, decided it would be wise in order to
insure its passage to abandon the idea
of providing directly for a regular army
of 100000 men, lie announced on the
floor that the committee would offer
amendments to reduce the number of
enlisted men to about 60,000, but lodge
in the Presidents discretion the author
ity to increase the army to a maximum
of 100000. These amendments have
been prepared. They provide that the
President may, in his discretion enlist
only 60 men in the infantry companies
and 60 in the cavalry troops. BY the
terms Of the bill there are to be thirty
infantry regiments of ten companies
each. with strength of 145 men and
II regiments Of cavalry of 10 troops
each, with strength of 106 men. This
discretion, if the President would exer-
else it would reduce the number of en-
listed men about 81, 600, and practically
leave intact the organization provided
fer in the bill, so far as officers are
concerned How far the proposed 1nodi-
fications will allay the opposition re-
mains to be seen.
Mr. Johnson of Indiana, also took
prominent part in the fight to-day after
the general debate closed, declaring that
the purposes Of the bill was to have an
army of 100000 either by direct author
ity or the exercises of the Presidents
discretion and he declared his purpose to
fight to the bitter end the machinery
which was being forged for colonial
system.
Mir. Henderson, in the course of the
debate declared his belief is the unwis-
dom of annexing the Philippines.
Mr.. Johnson said the vital mistake
was made when the President instruct
ed the Peace Commissioners to demand
the cession of the Philippines.
The whole debate to-day was spirited,
and so intense was the struggle when the
bill was taken up for the amendment
under the FIVE minute rule that the first
section had not been completed
when the House ut O'Clock adjourned.

AGUINALDO'S DENIAL.
He Sent No Telegram Uurging His Peo-
pie to Fight Americans.


ple to Fight Americans.
Agoncillo authorized the following
statement today concerning a published
report that the Government had inter
ceptcd dispatches from him to Aguinaldo
in which he advised that the Filipinos
fight for their independence and that
now was the time to act:
."The statement is absolutely false and
is calculated TO excite feeling and ami
the Philippine cause No such telegram
has ever been sent by me. and for that
reason no such telegram could have been
intercepted. The falSity of the state
ment is shown by the fact that / have
cabled my Government to continue the
same friendship which was born on the
battlefield against Spain. The Philip
pine people have no wish and no pur-
pose to fight against the Americans un-
less they are driven to it. Their only
desire is to strengthen the bonds now
existing"
Other members of the Filipino Junta,
who were present when AgoncillO made
this statement. cOncurred in what he
said and emphaszed the latter's decara-
ton that all his advices had been to-
ward an avoidance of rupture.
AgOncillo also expressed the positive
opininn that the cable report that the
Filipino Congress had authorized a
declaration Of war was not correct. rs
he says the Filipino people do not want
a conflict with the Americans and will
do everything possible to avoid it.
