Washington, Jan. 9.-Senor Agon-

resentative of the Philippine govern
the United States as such, and to be
accorded the same rights as the other
diplomats. His request is now in the
hands of Secretary Hay.
Today, Dom Sixto Lopez, the private
secretary of Senior Agoncillo, visited
the state department, and presented to
the officials letter to Secretary Hay,
requesting, on behalf of Senior Agoncll-
10, an interview for the purpose of ar
ranging to present his credentials to
President Mckinley, and inquiring
when it would meet the convenience of
the president to meet the Philippine
representative.
The letter of Senior Lopez further
states that he is instructed by Senior
Agoncillo, in view of recent develop
ments, to urge the advisability of an
understanding between the American
government and the representative of
the Philippine people as to the rela-
tions between the respective nations;
such understanding to be reached either
at Washington, through the joint rep
resentatives of the two governments, or
in the Philippine islands, in like man.

preston of the earnest hope that the
friendly relations heretofore existing
between the two nations may ever be
maintained.
Accompanying the letter is memo
randum setting forth the establishment
of the Philippine republic, and the
provision for detailed system of gov

says Senior Agoncillo, sit will appear
that the Philippine government is now,

Cups for the Raleigh.

An artistic set Of punch cups to be
presented to the cruiser Raleigh by Mr..

Haw River. N. c., has just been COM
pleted, says the Baltimore Sun. Mrs.
Haywood. who is the daughter of Gov

her christening. The cups are IL in
number and weigh 100 ounces troy.
Each cup is four inches high and three
inches in diameter, resting upon four
dolphins, whose bodies curve grace
fully about the body of the cup. They
are highly polished and lined with
gold. They are of the same design as
the massive punch bowl which was
presented to the cruiser by the citizens
of North Carolina when she first went
into commission. The Raleigh is a
second rate cruiser that formed part OF
Admiral Dewey's squadron and is now
on the Asiatic station.

open Door in the Phi1ippine..

Washington, Jan. 7.-Senator Frye,
of the American peace commission,
said in the senate committee on COM
merce today that it was the under
standing of the American commission
ers that an absolute open-door policy
was to be observed by the government
of the United States with reference to
trade in the Philippines, and that
other countries were to be given the
same facilities as the United States in
that trade.
The question came up in connection
with an informal discussion of the
coast trade policy of this country and
its extension to the Philippines. Frye
also said the policy of excluding tex
tile fabrics would not, according to his
understanding, be applied as in this
country.

centuries has been about 1913 square

mel in the insurgent army says that
Gomez recently sounded the army on
his old am bition of uniting Cuba and
Santo Domingo under one government.
The willy old chief thinks that the
United States can offer no objection to
this plan, which, if accomplished,
would create state strong enough to
absorb Hayti soon.
With this done, Gomez believes the
foundation would be laid for republic
which would soon take rank in the
Western world second only to the

Propeller Racing Prevented.

To prevent the engines of vessel
from tracing" when the screw rises
above the water, Signor E. Putalo has
invented an electrical regulator. The
contrivance consists of two vessels of
mercury, connected at the bottom by a
tub and mounted fore and aft in the
ship. The vessels are about half full
at normal depth. When the ship
pushes forward SO as to raise the screw
the rods connected with the resistance
are submerged one after the other, SO
that an electromagnetic is brought into
play, the whole resistance being short
circuited when the screw is entirely out
of the water. The electro-magnet
operates throttle valve in the main
steam pipe, which is thrown open by
another magnet. By this arrange
ment the steam is turned off and on.
From experiments it has been shown
that the mercury vessels need not be
more than 81 inches apart on ship
800 feet long.

A rather ingenius method of re-
placing the roof of standpipe was re-
sorted to recently by the water works
department at Napoleon, o. Some
time ago, in violent wind storm, the
roof was blown off. together with the
upper part of the ladder leading to the
top. Since then several plans for max
ing the repairs have been considered.
but the following was decided upon as
the most feasible: The water was
withdrawn from the standpipe and
raft was built inside. When the wa
ter was turned on the raft, laden with
workmen and their utensils, was grad
ually sent upward at the rate of 30 feet
per hour, it requiring five hours to
make the ascent. Hooks and pulleys
were then attached to the pipe and ma
terial was drawn up on the outside.
while the men performed their work,
using the raft for platform.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion OF the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu-
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets in
famed you have rumbling sound or imper-
feet hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the infamma-
ton can be taken out and this tube restored to
its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed
forever; nine cases out OF ten are caused by

President Mckinley has decided to
force the issue with the Filipinos. His
decision may result in a battle at lilo
lilo. It may lead to a harrassing war
with the natives of the Philippines. It
is hoped and believed that such calam-
tiles will be averted, but it remains for
the insurgents to determine what the
results will be.
The president has ordered General
Miller to land his troops at lilo lilo.
The order leaves the American COM
mander no alternative. He is directed
to be conciliatory toward the natives,
but at the same time he is instructed
to use force, if necessary, to effect his
landing and establish himself in the
desired camp. In other words, Gener.
al Miller is to act on the defensive. He
will not fire gun unless attacked by
the Filipinos.

A Los Angeles Times man writes
to his paper that throughout great
pant of Southern California the olive
crop is this year complete failure.
At Fallbrook, in San Diego county,
the large acreage of olive trees on the
Red Mountain ranch represents con-
siderable production of the fruit,
though neighboring orchards are bar
rem. Beginning at Santa Paula, and
extending westward through Santa
Barbara county, there is territory en-
bracing several large orchards, in
which the trees are laden with heavy
crops. This constitutes the production
of Southern California for the present
year.
