SESSION OF THE

SIDE DEBATES DURING THE DAY

Washington, January 1.-The house of representatives was engaged all day on the legislative, executive and judicial appro- priation bill and completed it substantially as reported except for the items for the civil service commission, which went over until Monday. There were several side debates during the day. One of these brought out MT. Grosvenor, of Ohio. in a speech of an hour on current political ques tions.
 On converting the house, in committee of the whole, resumed consideration of the legislative executive and judicial appro- priation bill.
 Mir. Cromwell (republican), of Ohio, moved a formal amendment to the bill in order to ask why the appointments of emergency clerks in the war department had not been made from the eligible list under the civil service law, and said the circumstances connected with these tenn porary appointments exposed the manifest absurdties of the civil service law. He thought the law should be generally overl- hauled
 Reply from MT. Bailey
 MT. Bailey replied to MT. Cromwell pre- ucliHB tudt IL lile present. CIVIL SerNIce law continued on these Statute books the next two years would see the passage of a civil service pension list and MT. Cannon ex- plained that as the civil service machinery takes time to fill places, it was necessary in emergencies to employ clerks outside that law.
 MT. Cromwell withdrew hs amendment and the reading of the bill proceeded.
 At l o'clock MT. Grosvenor was recog- nized to make an hours speech concerning the attitude of the political parties of the country towards the financial question. He began by referring to the campaign of 'e6, which was, he said, characterized by zeal, fairness and candor on both sides. Never in the history of the United States had we ever seen harder times than in the early months of 1896. when the people were suf- fering under great financial and commer- cial distress. The contrast was very strong, as the preceding few months had been months of great prosperity. There were more idle men in the United States on election day in 1896 than at any previous time in the history of the country, while on the election day of 1892 the number of idle men had been fewer. Both parties had met this situation frankly, each offer ing it's remedy. Hence the campaign had been fought under no favorab conditions. In whatever direction one might turn, whether to our railroads, to our manufac- tories, or to our island or foreign trade, there was gloom and despondency

MANIFESTO FROM
 GEN.. AGUINALDO Protests Against 0tiS' Proclamation to
 Insurgents. PROMISED INDEPENDENCE
Claims That Merritt'S Address Recognized
 Freedom Of the Archipelago
SAYS HE CAN PRODUCE PROOF
That He Was Carried to Hong Kong by Admiral Dewey With Under- standing That Independence
 Would be Granted.

Manila. January 7.-Within a few hours
 of the proclamation issued by Major-Gen-
 eral Otis in behalf of President Mckinley,
 the agents of Aguinaldo billed Manila with
 A. similar manifesto which attracted con
 siderable attention. The revolutionary
 president protested against General otis
 signing himself military governor of the Philippine Islands.
 Aguinaldo in his manifesto, declared that
 he had never agreed at Singapore, Hong Kong or elsewhere to recognize the. sov- ereignty of the Americans here and insists
 that he returned to the Philippines on an American ship solely to conquer the span iards and win independence. He asserts that both his proclamations of May 24 and June 12 stated this act officially and ne claims General Merritt confirmed this by proclamation several days before the Span iards capitulsted, stating clearly that the American forces came to overthrow the Spanish government and liberate the Filipinos.
 Saluted His Flag In conclusion, he declared that he had
 natives and foreigners as witnesses that the American forces recognized, not only by
 acts that the FilipiDos were belligerents,
 but they publicly saluted the Filipino flag as it triumphantly sailed the seas before the eyes of all nations.
 Aguinaldo then solemnly protested in the name of the Deity, who had empowered him to direct his brethren in the difficult task | of regeneration against the intrusion of the American government and reiterated that he can produce proofs that he was brought here on the understanding that the Ameri- cans promised him their cooperation to at
 tain independence. Aguinaldo then called
 upon his followers to work together with force and assured them he is convinced that
 they will obtain absolute independence and
 urging them never to return from the glo rious road" in which they have "already so far advanced"
 Major General Otis attaches no impor- 1 tance to the manifesto. He says be feels | confident that the opinion of the better | classes of the Filipnos is not expressed in l it. but as to whether the Filipino masses can be controlled and the Filipino army kept in check he does not know, although
 he hopes for a pacific outcome of the trouble.

way robbery, but at the request of AS
sistant City Solicitor Cahoon the
charge was changed.

negro, he was accosted at Front and
Poplar streets on Friday afternoon by

he was only joking, but pleaded guilt,

ALL NATIONS OF ONE BLOOD.
The Rev. DIR. Batten Preached a Powerful
Snrinnn in Rcference 20 Pence Movement.

The Rev. DR.. Batten Preached Powerful
SERMON in Reference 20 Peace Movement.
The coming peace conference was dis
cussed by the Rev. L. w. Baton. Ph.
d., on Sunday, in his sermon ip St
Andrews Church. His text was Acts
II, 26: And hath made of one blood
all nations Of men for to dwell on all
the face of the earth.'i After express
ing his opinion that the present war
could not have been avoided and the
country's honor remain unsullied, he
said that although there were differ
ences of opinion as to that, yet there
is no possible difference of opinion that
peace is bettcr than war. He referred
to the coming peace conference In
Europe as the most notable gathering
of representatives of the nations OF the
world that has ever assembled. The
object is not simply to patch up a
peace between two nations that have
been at war but to make it very diff
cult for some nations to go to war.
There is no nation that should take a
more lively interest in this matter than
the United States.
DR.. Batten was not prepared to ac-
cept the view of some that it is abso-
lutely wrong in the sight of God for
l
world is under divine influence it
would not be safe for any to say that
it would not draw the sword again.
The Old Testament is little more than
history OF war. What right had the
Hebrews in the land of Canaan? The
| Canaanites were free people; there was
| no excuse for liberating them. In the
| New Testament reference is made TO q
time when the disciples would sell
their clothes from their backs to buy a
sword. Dir. Batten believed it was the
divine right of all governments to re-
sist wrong and to resent wrong. Yet. he
added, that it is an unhappy moment
when the sword is drawn.
Taking up thsn tho movement fol
peace, he said that since the treaty o.
peace of May 10th, 1871, between
France and Germany, there have beer
no great wars, in spite of the dangers
He looked upon the Monroe Doctrine
as long step for international peace
In the seizure of land by large powers
and their taking control of spheres o
influence, he saw good in the lons
run, for he noted tendency for cen
tralization that will make for peace.
He touched upon the proposition fo
arresting the development of destruct
i've machinery of war, the strength o
commercial relations, and the PROPOSE
tions for arbitration and disarmament
The possibility for permanent peac
comes through an application of th
principle enunciated by st. Paul whel
| he said ''and hath made of one bloo'
all nations.'' Military and naya
equipment will still be necessary 70
years to come, but the Christian mus
, look forward, and every nation mus
look up to God, who shall be the fina
. court Of arbitration, and who, by Hi
, absolutely just decree, shall settle al
| disputes.

He Immediately put up the order

but the express shot some distance by

he could. In the meantime, the tower
man below the furnace plug, just below
Reading, was notified to display pre-

served by the engineer Of the special is
not yet known. AT all events, the
special proceeded, and when 1t rounded
the curve, just north of Exeter station,
the red signals of the rear car of the
regular express loomed up before the
engineer.
Ahl was making rapid time, prob.
ably 90 miles an hour 1t is evldent
from tho speed that the second train
was making that the engineer did not
expect to find the express there, but
far below that point. Ahl, seeing the
red lights of the express ahead, quickly
shut off steam, and applied brakes
| The momentum of his train, however,
| was SO great that he found that it
would be impossible to avert crash
and, after checking the speed as much
as the space would permit, hardly a
quarter of milo. he and his fireman
leaped for their lives. A few seconds
later, the engine struck the rear car OF
the express, with such force as to pillow
clear through the coach and forcing the
wreck partly into the Pullman cal
ahead.
