ment. The full report of the commission
now in preparation will contain informa-
tion and suggestions which will be of
value to congress-, and Which I will trans
NIT as soon as it is completed. AS long
as the insurrection continues the mill
tary arm must necessarily be SUI
preme. But there is no reason why
steps should not be taken from time
to m to i~naugurate governments essen
TALLY popular in their forms as fast as
they are held or controlled by our troops.
To this end :. am considering the advisa-
bility of the return of the commission or
such of the members thereof as can be Sc
cured, to aid tho existing authorities and
facilitate this work throughout the ISL
ands have believed that reconstruction
should not begin by the establishment of
n central civil government for the
island with its seat ut Mnaila, but rather
that the work should be commenced by
building from the bottom and municipal
governments and then provincial govern
ments, a central government to last fol-
low. Until congress shall have made
known the formal expression of its will, 1
shall use the authority vested in me by
the constitution and the statutes to up
hold the sovereignty of the United States
in those distant islands Us in all other
places where ur flag rightfully floats. I
shall put ut the disposal of the army and
navy all the means which tho liberality of
congress and the people have provided to
cause this ~unprovoked and wasteful in
surrection to cease. If any orders of mine
were required to insure the merciful con-
duct of military and naval operations
they would not be lacking: but every step
of the progress of the troops has been
marked by q humanity which has
Surprised Even the MISC Insurgents
The truest kindness to them will be a
swift ind effective defeat of their present
leader. The hour Of victory will be the
hour of clemency and reconstruction.
No effort will be spared to build up the
waste places desolated by war and by long
years of misgovernment. We shall not
wait for the end of strife to begin the
benehcent work. We shall continue, as
we have begun. to open the schools and
h churches, to set the courts in opera
ton, to foster industry and trade and
agriculture, and in every way in
our power to make these peo-
pie whom providence has brought within
our jurisdiction feel that it is their liberty
and not our power, their welfare and not
our gain, we are seeking to enhance. Our
flag has never waved over any community
but in blessing. I believe the PHILIPPINES
will soon recognize the fact that it has not
lost it's gift of benediction in its world
wide journey to their shores.

HAWAII, ALASKA, PORTO RICO.

Some Liquidation 10 Badly Needed In
Each Of These Territories.
Some embarrassment in administration
has occurred by reason Of the peculiar
status which the Hawaiian islands at pres
emit occupy under the joint resolution of
annexation approved July z, 1898. While
by that reason the republic of Hawaii as
an independ. It nation was ex~tinguished,
it's separate sovereignty destroyed and it's
property md possessions vested in the
United States, yet q complete establish
ment for its government under u sys-
TEN was not effected.
1t is manifestly important, therefore,
that an act shall be presented as speedily
as possible erecting these islands into a
judicial district, providing for the .ap-
pointment Of a judge and other proper
officers and methods of procedure in ap-
pellate proceedings, and that the govern.
ment of th.s newly acquired territory
under the federal constitution shall be
fully defined and provided for.
A necessity for immediate Legislative
relief also exists in the territory of
Alaska.
The time is also ripe for the adoption of
q temporary form of government for
Porto Rico.
Presented to this congress arc great OPP
portunities. With them come great re-
sponsibilities. The powers con1ded to us
increase our weight of obligation to the
people, and we must be profoundly sehsi-
tive of them as we contemplate the new
and grave problems which confront us
Aiming only at the public good, we can.
not err. A right Interpretation Of the
peoples will and Of duty cannot
fail to insure wise measures for
the welfare Of the islands. which
nav come under the authority Of the
United States and inure to the common
interest and lasting honor Of our country.
Never has this nation had more abundant
aus than during the past year for
thankfulness to God for manifold bless
ings and mercy, for which We make rev
erent acknowledgements.

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING THE
RAPID INCREASE OF HEART
TROUBLES.
DO Not He Alarmed, But Look fol
the Cause.

DO Not He Alarmed, But Look for
the Cause.
Heart troubles. at least among the
Americans, are certainly increasing, and
while this may be largely due to the ex-
citement and worry of American business
life il is more often the result of weak
stomachs, of poor digestion.
Real organic disease is incurable; but
not one case in hundred of heart trouble
is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by the same great nerves,
the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric.
In another way also, the heart is affect
ed by the form of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half
digested food. There is a feeling of op-
preston and heaviness in the chest caused
by pressure of the distended stomach on
the heart and lungs. interfering with their
action; hence arise palpitation and short
breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
making il thin and watery. which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
trouble is TO improve the digestion and TO
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can be done by the regular use after
meals of some safe, pleasant and effective
digestive preparation, like Stuarts Dys-
pepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain val
liable, harmless digestive elements in a
pleasant. convenient form.
Ii is safe to say that the regular persist
ent use of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble except cancer of the stomach.
Full sized package of these tablets sold
by druggists at 80 cents. Little book on
stomach troubles mailed free. Address

Centreville Md, Feb. 24.-The case of
Sadie Schreiber aged fifteen years, charg
ed with attempting TO poison her husband,
Henry Schneider, aged ifty-fve years,
near Burrssville, Queen Anne county, is
causing considerable comment and the
people of Centreville are taking consid

ton. Saturday last Schreiber had writ
issued for the arrest of his wife, charg-
ing her that she attempted TO poison him
by putting some drug in his coffee. Con-
stable Coursey arrested her, and she was
lodged in jail. Nothing was 81. at about
the affair until several representative men

in circulation about her. The result OF

she gave her husband in his coffee. Salt

so 10 make him sick, because she wanted
to retaliate for treatment she had receiv-

GENERAL WEIsIGER DEAD.
Commanded Confederate brigade
in the Crater Conflict.

Richmond, Va, Feb. 24.-Gen. David A.
Weisiger died yesterday after an illness
of several weeks.
General Weisiger commanded the Vir-
ginia brigade, one of the two which took
part in the memorable charge at the bat
lie of the Crater. The other brigade en-
gagged in this bloody conflict was from
Alabama, and, like that commanded by
General Heisiser, belonged to Mahone's
division Since the war there has been
some contention as to whether the credit
was due Neisiger or his division COM
mander for the heroic fight in which the
Nlrginians and AlabamlaBs were engaged.
During the political campaign of 1880
General Weisicer's friends were disposed
to claim the honor for him. He led the
charge O. the TWO brigades and displayed
: fearless bravery which had bsen so
often shown by HIM and the men he com
manded on SO many other bloody fields OF
the civil war After the heat OF the po-
| iirieal campaigns in which Malone took
! such conspicuous part the honor of
| planning the fight al the Crater seems TO
| nave been conceded to- the division com
| mander.
General Weisiger's blHcale was com
posed OF the Sixth Manone's od regi-
menu, the Twelfth, the Fo-ty-asst, tee
/ SiXty-siXth Virginia and Jbe Third AIa-
bama. The brigade was folmcriy com
manded by Malone and was one Of the
/ best fighting commands IN the Army of
| Northern Virginia.
General Weisiger served through the
I Mexican war as lieutenant Of a Peers
! burg company. He left Petersburg az the
! breaking out of the civil war as major of
the battalion organized in that city He
/ was. later on. made colonel of the Sixth
| Virginia. He was about e;ghty-one years
of age and was born in Chesterfield coun-

he WAS several times wounded during

pated IN all OF the great battles in which

Americans don 't,know anything about max

Manager Dunn expects to have some
trouble with the law, as there is a statute
prohibiting the employment of bartender
esses." 1t was passed on account of the
villainous mixed drinks they make and for
reasons of propriety. Dunn. however.
thinks it is unconstitutional and he is
something of lawyer. There is case
now on in which some "bartenderesses
are suing for wages, and If they win it will
show that they can legally earn wages.
Some one or other, Dunn thinks, will pros
ecute his barmaids, perhaps some one who
takes one of their mixtures.
