Washington, Jan. 12.-The president
has decided it TO be incompatible with
public interest to comply with the re-
quest contained in the Hoar resolution
to supply the senate with the instruc-
lions given the American peace COM
missioners. If any reasons are given
for the declination the leading one
will be the fact that, as the treaty is
subject to action in Spain even after
ratification by the senate, its con-
summation might be ieopardized by
the publication at this stage of the
confidential instructions.

Meantime the London Newspapers
Continue to Give Advice ms to the
Duty of our Government In Dealing
With the Filipinos.
London, Jan. 12.-The Berlin corre-
Epondent of The Standard says that
Professional Blumentritt, Aguinaldo's
representative there, writes to The
Tageblatt as follows:
"The Americans, being addicted to
drink, are less able to fight in the
tropics than the sober Spaniards. A
guerrilla war could be kept up for six
or eight years, during which the in
evitable conflict between the powers
in eastern Asia would afford the Fill
pinos chance.
"All the. Jesuits and Benedictines are
at liberty; only the other orders have
been kept prisoners. The former are
now pro-American, because American
rule offers the only hope of retrieving
their fortunes. III treatment of pris-
oners Is severely punished, while nuns
are not molested, most of them being
natives. The Americans imagine they
can buy the insurgent army for 49,
100000 but the Filipinos anticipate
that an American party inspired by
Washington's spirit will yet come into
power and grant them independence"
The Daily Mail publishes the follow
ing dispatch from Hong Kong: THE
Americans who are arriving here from
Manila complain bitterly of the mac
tion of Major General Otis, particular
ly in leaving the Manila water supply
at the mercy Of the rebels. They say
collision between the Americans and
the insurgents is inevitable. Aguin-
aldo's dispatches to the Filipino junta
here have been stopped"
Most of the morning papers comment
today upon the situation in the Phil
ippines, drawing theinference that SEN
ator Foraker's remarks in the senate
chamber yesterday were made by him
as the spokesman of the president and
expressing disappointment and their
disapproval of a possible relinquish-
ment of the Philippines by the United
States.
The Times says: Senator Foraker
appears to leave the subject in an I'M
pleasantly ambiguous state 1t is in
the Philippines that the new system of
government will be brought to a test,
and no resolutions passed in the senate
can solve the problem The claims OF
the insurgents to national recognition
can hardly hold water, but there is no
power in the world that would be so
much embarrassed by the raising of a
question of this sort as the United
States. To announce that the occupa-
ton of the Philippines is only temper
airy would be scarcely prudent"
The Standard says ut is a little
startling to find the liberators of Cuba
engaged in suppressing youthful re-
public which claims the sacred right OF
self government. Yet to withdraw
would create another Cuba off the coast
of Asia, for which naval nations would

New York. Jan. 12.--The Press says:
"Plans have been made to buy the
whole of this years crop of Havana
tobacco. A syndicate of q bankers has
been formed for the purpose. It's repre-
sentative will start for Cuba today.
The immediate scheme is to control the
market for Havana tobacco, but the

AN ORIGINAL DISPLAY,

Mir. Isaac Drey fus, the big mer
 chant of this city, is one of the most enterprising business men in our midst. This is demoLstra ted by a beautifully arranged and most patriotic window display, which was made in one of his Main street windows Monday and is still on exhibition. It is filled with flags Of national colors in the center of which is sitting a life-size oil painting of the hero of Manila Bay. Two smaller pictures of two fair American beau ties, greeting their sweethearts who have just returned after performing their duties in the army and navy, stand on each side. It is most original display and reflects great credit upon the designer in charge.

A LIBERAL OFFER
Made by Messrs. Altheimer and Cooper to thelNew Mill Company.


 In the cont faos drawn up by the Austin & Sawyer Lumber Company recently for the erection of the lum- Der mill and railroad in this city and vicinity, the citizens of Pine Bluff were required to donate piece of land for the mill site. This would have been necessary for the citizens to purchase same and it would have been a very difficult matter for them to do so with ease as the property owners realizing their need for such tract of land would doubtless want enormous prices for it.
 Messrs. Louis and M. L. Alt heimer together with Hon. Henry M. Cooper, the big Republican leader of Little Rock, have offered free of charge a piece of land 40 acres ia size to the Austin X Saw yer people for thesight. The land is situated in the Western part of the city near the new compress plant and IS very venient location for the proposed mill.
 This is indeed a very generous offer on the part of these gentlemen and shows much generosity and and enterprise, They are to be commended for the kind deed. This is done, we are informed, to assist Pfae Bluff in securing the big enterprise that now presents itself aad which is Pine Bluffs greatest opportunity.

GOOD Is NATURAL, HEALTH Is
NORMAL.
Common Sense a1irms that all that
is normal is natural. Fish need water;
vegetation, the sunlight and rainfall
The birds demand the air as men need
righteousness. All life is based on
ideal conditions. Society is built on
the ideals of law, justice, tolerance,
freedom, brotherhood, love, and indi-
Ndual rights. \ moraist is a moral
idealst. A spiritually man is
q spiritual idealist. or perhaps more
accurately. a Realist, for the spiritual
is the only real. Some aspects of NOR
ality represent but restraint or tenn
peranCe i'm material conditions or error.
\ moral man is an NATURALIZATION
Of the moral law. \ man whose mind
and life are pure, loving, unselfish, and
metaphysical can be termed a repre-
sentative or embodiment of the spiri-
l ;,.;t
ana strength are normal conditions to
these two types Of character
Health of body Is as much a COndi-
tiOn Of nature, or character, as of ply
sical organism. Health, Wilderness
holiness and nOrmality are synonymous
words. Good Is natural. Hence it is
the immortal Principle of life. Evil or
error is unnatural Therefore health is
mans normal condition Life is men
| tai, for Mind is Causation. Hence the
real life of man is universal Mind, alias
Nature-GOd. I'm Him we live and
move and have our being Above the
material sense Of things, says the Dis
cOVerer and Founder of Christian Sci
enCe. all is harmony Physical health
is primarily a condition of Mind In
fact every detail of so-called organic
movement, functional action, and all
physical conditions are ruled by Mind,
and All is Mind and there is no matter
This statement can be made To read.
, all that is real immortal and perfect
