to the father of the boy being present
and unfolding the teacher in all he

all of you believe that practical meth
dds do not mean bad politics or bad
methods. Our party stands for fair
elections, and has given TO our peO-
pie an election law approved by ali.
And we believe in fair primaries, for
every voter should have the privilege
to attend and east his vote for those
he thinks the best men to be the stand
ard bearers of our country. | hardly
think anyone will find fault if we
should praise up ourselves as to what
we have done as a party, and what we
hope to do in the future Let us ex-
change congratulations among our
selves, in the language of the colored

when Dan got mad and went back and
waited for him at the gate | then
asked what could the other boys do
to pass time. He said, "McDermott
might go out among the Sand Rocks
and bore for oil; that O'Kelly might
go to the Public Store and get bale
of white satin and make q white robe
for each of us to wear at night; that
johnson might go out and locate
new railroad SO Joe could get his oil
TO market, and that Huston might go
and get some cedar lumber and build a
mansion in the skies for all of u.s." i
asked Peter how the politicians got
along and how many he had on his
books. He said, there was only in
Heaven, viz: Gen. jackson, for the
Democrats; old Tom Corwin, of Ohio
for the Wings, and Abe Lincon, for
the Republicans. He said, sc. Wash |

Government Officials Hopeful Of a
Peaceful Solution.
REPORT FROM GEN. OTIS
INDICATES IMPROVEMENT IN
CONDITION OF AFFAIRS.
Believed That the ConciIiatory Policy
Will Eventually Win the Natives
over-Three of Aguinaldo's Com
missioners En- Route to Washing
ton On Secret Mission.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE war de-
partment officials were very much en-
couraged today upon the receipt Of
news from General Otis at Manila that
indicated a distinct Improvement in the
situation there. The generals dispatch
completely negatives the absurd story
from Madrid OF the American troops at
Manila having mutinied and refused TO
proceed to Iloilo, necessitating the
withdrawal of General Afiller's forces
from that port.
General Otis is master wherever he
has planted his foot, and undoubtedly
is able to carry out any policy as to the
treatment of the natives the admins
tration is likely to dictate. There are
indications that encourage the officials
here to believe that the conciliatory
policy toward the natives that was re-
Gently adopted viii succeed, although
it cannot be expected that the F'ilipinoS
viii be convinced at once of the abso-
lutte good faith in which General Otis
is acting towards them.
% Manila, Jan. 1.-THE situation here
is improving. A native engineer at the
waterworks, outside the lines, was MUIR
dered on Thursday evening by an or
ganized gang Of thieves, armed with
various weapons. His wife barely eS-
capped the same fate. The place was
ransacked. The native authorities are
investigating the affair, but the Fill
pinos disclaim any knowledge OF the
outrage.

C0mmissary General Is Expungi ng
His Indecent Language.
INCIDENT IS NOT ENDED
IN TIE HANDS OF M'KIMLEY
AND ALGER,
But the President and His Secretary
Are In Their Usual State of indie
cision-GeneraI Miles Waiting
For the Department to Take Ac-
tion-More Testimony.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE key to the
solution of the difference between Cen
eral Eagan and General Miles was to-
day in the hands of the former. The
war commission having called upon him
to modify his statement, nothing can
be done until he eicher has revised his
first declaration or has notified the
commission OF his refusal to do 50. 1t
is confidently expected by the best in
formed officials that the commissary
general Will modify his statement TO
meet the criticisms of the commission.
He himself will make no statement
touching his purpose, limiting his an
SWeT TO the statement that he has so
far taken no action. Unofficially, word
has reached the war investigation COM
mission that General Eagan is care
fully expunging the vituperative and
Objectionable portions and will shortly
send it back to the commission. When
received it Will be carefully scrutinized
by the commission, and if it be found
that all the objectiona BILE language is
eliminated, will be voted upon in exc
cutive session, and probably accepted.
Opinions still vary as to whether the
withdrawal of the offensive statements
will end this incident. The weight of
opinion seems to be that the president
and Secretary Alger, in whose hands
the cabinet rested the whole matter af-
ter Ats consideration yesterday, have
noi yet made up their minds as to what
course they shall pursue.
General Miles came early to his office,
but he had nothing to contribute to the
controversy. His position is that the
matter is one for the department to
treat, and that it is not incumbent
upon him to make any statement at
this stage.
Major H H. Carlton, inspector gen
eral of the staff of General Wilson, and
Captain Frederick A. Smith, now chief
commissary of the department of the
lakes, Chicago, and who inspected the
first cargo of beef landed at Santiago,
were the only witnesses before the war
investigating commission today. Both
painted the food conditions, the former
as to Puerto Rico and the latter as to
Cuba, in roseate cOlors, and said there
had been no material complaint.
General Humphreys, chief quarter
master with the Shafter expedition,
who has come on from Havana at the
urgent summons Of the commission, APP
peared, but will not take the witness
stand until Monday, when there will
also be present representatives of the
Nelson Morris Packing company.
