Mr.. WARMERS VIEWS
he Thinks Mr.. Reed Will Retain His
Seat in Congress.
The West is for ExpansiOn-DOes Not
Expect an Exciting
Session.

Representatiye Warner of Illinois. who IS
in Washington looking after soldier mat
ters expressed the belief that ex-Speaker
Reed will remain in Congress, though re-
firing from the speakerstip.
Il do not pretend" he said, "to any in
formation on the subject; l give it merely
as my guess that Reed will stay In the
House. l believe that, finding himself out
of harmony with the sentiment of his
party with respect to some important
questions-expansion and SO forth-he de-
cided that, man of high sense or
honor. he could not retain the speaker
ship and be free to advance his own views
on these questions, and that he therefore
decided to take his place on the floor and
do the best he can to advance the views he
holds.
Will BE Subject to Attnck.
'.Of course, if he does this his strong
personality and great Intellectual power
will give him an influence, but the repub-
lican party is in favor of expansion, and 1t
will not be able to overcome that serti-
ment. / regard Reed as the biggest man
in America. but I do not agree with him
on the expansion question, and would not
yield my views to his. nor would other re-
r.ublcans on the floor. He would have to
maintain his position against very general
and very active attack in trying to fight
expansion.
Il do not know how you people in the
east feel about the matter, but the western
sentiment is overwhelmingly in favor of
taking what we can get and holding what
we take. The western people are eXpan-
sionists. While they respect Reed and ad-
mire him. they would not be Influenced by
him to change their position on this ques-
ton
Not an Exciting Session.
Speaking of the prospects of legislation
this winter. General Warner said he did not
anticipate an exciting session; did not
think there would be any final legislation
relating to our new possessions. and did not
expect any financial legislation beyond the
definite adoption of the gold standard. He
thought the gold standard would be fixed
definitely, as it should be- and that legsla-
ton would stop there.

MULES FOR THE PHILIPPINES.
Preparing Transportation Facilities
for the Coming CampRiSn.

iOF tne coming campaign.
The problem of transportation in the
Philippines has been under consideration
in the War Department for some time. II
is expected that at the end of the rainy
season it will be found necessary to move
the troops and supplies some distance from
the railroad, and at the present time means
of transportation are not sufficient for a
large army and extensive operations. The
difficulty has been met by sending mules to
Manila in large numbers. The quartermas
ter's department has already shipped about
COO mules to Manila, and will send 800
more very soon. Besides this, there are
nearly 2Uo more owned by the depart
ment which will be sent when the exact
conditions are ascertained and 1t is deter
mined that they will be needed.
The department would much rather have
preferred to purchase the mules in China,
or some other country near the Philippines.
as the cost of transportation is consider
able. mule laid down in Manila costs
fully $500 These mules will not only be
used for transporting supplies in wagons.
but 1t is intended to organize pack train
Tor carrying guns and equipments for
smaller batteries in the sections of the
country where teams cannot be utilized.
: In getting ready transportation facilities,
the indications are that~the campaign after
the rainy season is to be pushed not only
along the railroad, where Gen Otis has
confined most of his operations, but that
the interior of Luzon will be penetrated
and the insurgents chased wherever they
may go.

Prof. Garriott, chief of the forecast diyi-

observations taken at l o'clock this after
noon that indicated that the hurricane is
raging on the South Atlantic coast and
that it is rapidly travelling northward. 1t

coast tomorrow morning. AT l o'clock a
northeast wind was blowing off Charleston,
s. c.. at the rate of fifty-two miles an hour.
The weather bureau has notified Norfolk
and will raise storm signai3 all along the
Atlantic coast, as there will be great dam
ger to the shipping.
The storm will reach this city tonight
and will continue tomorrow. While the
heavy northeast wind will endanger ship
ping on the coast, it is not expected that
it will be severe enough in this city to do
any damage. A heavy fall of rain is ex-
Dected.
