fore this if the present rainy season
had not been unusually long and
severe. When asked what he
thought of what the American SOL
diers had accomplished over there,
Mr.. Andre, who is a disinterested
witness and who speaks from per-
sonal knowledge acquired on the
ground replied: "They have done
well-very well. If you only knew
the condition of that country, you
would be surprised that they have
done what they have. The weather
has been simply awful, worse this
year than usual--and fighting under
such conditions is very difficult
indeed"
Secretary Long said of the preli-
minary report of the Philippine
Commission, which is commended
by everybody except the "Littler
Americans" "There have been
so many misrepresentation and ex-
aggerations that it is delightful to
have 50 valuable and explicit a
statement from Board, the COM
position of which could not be i'm
proved in this country or any
other. Two Of the men who are
members have been long known in
their association with our leading
Universities; the third gentleman
has had more than twelve years
diplomatic experience in China,
and the fourth is to-day the con-
spicuous man in the nations eye.
Three of the men have never been
associated in any way with politics,
by reason of his diplomatic service,
is one of the most respected men,
bers of the Democratic party, and
certainly connot be charged with
any leaning towards the admins
tration. 1t is especially gratifying
that the report backs up and en-
dorses the position and the state
ments of the President upon this
whole NATTER
Senator Sewell of New Jersey,
said: "No matter what differences
Of opinion may exist among indivi-
duals upon the question of expan-
sion, our flag in Porto Rico, Cuba,
and the Philippines, will stay there.
The U. S. Senate will never con-
sent to the surrender or to the
hauling down of the flag. Where
that glorious emblem has been rails
ed, there it will stay. No matter
what may be the sentiment of the
minority, the great body Of the
American people will always be for
the flag, under any and all circum-
stances. There may be agitation,
but the flag will stay there, and
those who wish to humiliate or
dishonor it, will only discredit
themselves in the esteem, if not
more seriously, of their fellow
citizens"

such as England and Germayn
have, not only with European
countries, but with South and
Central American countries, and
he will call the attention of Con-
gress to the matter in his annual
report. AS an argument of the
need of such facilities. Mr.. Dawes
said: Suppose two men are deal
ing in live stock. One of them
sells a bunch Of horses, and ships
them to the purchaser upon whom
he draws for the money. He takes
the draft to the bank and discounts
it. With the money, he buys more
stock, which he sells and ships in
like manner. The second man
does not use banks. He sells his
horses, and after shipping, waits
for the purchaser to remit. While
the second man is waiting for his
money, the first man has made half
dozen transactions, has increased
his own earnings.
