BLOOD LETTING AT MANILA.

The first battle has been fought and
won that will crush the power of Aguin-
aldo in the Philippines. It was a pretty
warm affair, the lives of more American
oldiers being sacrificed than were lost
in driving the S%paniards from the
islands. The loss of the Filipinos is not
known at this writing, but it is thought
to be heavy.
General Aguinaldo is an ambitious
man who has, for some time. assumed
a defiant attitude toward the United
States authorities at the islands. But it
was not thought he would force the fight
ing, or that he seriously contemplated
hostilities, at least, while the peace treaty
Washington and not ratified. But whom
the gods would destroy they first make
mad" and A%guinaldo got on his royal
ear and started in for a finish fight. His
first dose has, doubtless, cooled his ardor
and may make the ambitious Filipino
wish he had kept quiet until more favor
able conditions would promise better uc-
cess. History will record the fact that
A%guinaldo reckoned without his host;
that he risked too much and at the wrong
time.
The dogs of war having been let loose
at the Philippines they will, doubtless, re-
main uncollared until the Filipinos sue for
peace, lay down their arms and accept
the inevitable. Whether the outbreak of
Aguinaldo will jeepardize the ratification
of the peace treaty may be known before
this pag is locked in form for the press.
1t is not apprehended it will. On the
contrary it may add to the strength of
the affirmative vote.

The Auditorium was crowded Saturday
night by the friends of Senator-elect w.
A. Clark, and his address was warmly re-
ceived. 1t was an ovation greatly appre-
ciated by the senator, and his speech is
said to have been one of the ablest ever
delivered by him. The seats reserved in
the front row for the "other'' wing of the
democracy were not occupied by Mr..
Clark's late antagonists. However, the
enthusiasm was just as pronounced as
if they had been present. From private
sources we learn that they do not intend
to wear corns on their hands applauding
the remarks of the senator-elect

DEMOCRATIC

Having given Montana such a black
eve that the annual product Of fresh beef
in the COW counties for the next ten years
could not reduce the discoloration if ap-
piled, the democracy Of this state is now
flirting with the sweet, blear-eyed god
dess Of harmony. Already the two wings
Of the party are billing inc cooling
through the columns Of the more con-
sentative press. Believing it to be time
for billing, the Billings Times leads off in
an effort at reconciliation. 1t forsees de-
feat in 1900 and the impending calamity
Of a republican senator, if the two wings
d. not speedily flap in unison. It as
sumes that both wings are orthodox in
their democracy, and should not, there
fore, permit the delicate little cat-hop at
Helena to interfere with brotherly love.
Ii will, of course, be easy for the Times
other soulful publications of that
type to wipe out the rancors of the late
friendly bout with copious tears, espe-
cially when the country must again be
save from dishonor and scandal two
years hence. Inasmuch as the Clark
democracy is solid for a protective tariff
and the anti-Clark democracy is equally
in line with the straight republican idea
of bimetallism, including a ratio of 80
to /, or any other old ratio suggested by
ought to be no reason why John B. Well
come n E. D. Mats should not clasp
hands across the bloody chasm in an
effort to defeat a republican candidate
for United States senator who believes
in a protective tariff and a ratio regulated
by the worlds exchanges.
When the fundamental principles of
the Montana democracy are at stake
when it is necessary to elect a demo-
cratic senator two years hence in order
that the principles Of Thomas Jefferson
in favor of a protective tariff and a ratio
based on the worlds exchanges may be
maintained in the future as in the past
why cannot the boys wipe the city of
Helena off the escutcheons of their mem
Dry, forget the Whiteside and the black
side of the late political cntangIements,
look upon the past as a nightmare which
was a horse on both factions of the party,
and, with Rev. Hannah as a model, turn
their eyes toward the setting sun, ever
mindful of that self-sacrificing pilgrim
who came from the dreamy siestas of the
blissful Orient to listen to John r.
Toole's great speech on the constitutional
rights of a preacher in politics, and as
the two wings blend into one, and tears
and champagne minsle in a flood which
leads on to fortune, let the words of the
poet sink deeply into the inner conscious
ness of all:
Made glorious ummer by his son of
York"

over to the next for it's action.
That is about the way the matter pre-
sents itself at this date.
The bill, as stated, gives the president
almost autocratic power in the building
of the canal, only some slight restrictions
being placed upon him He is told. in
effect, that the country wishes the build
ing of an inter-oceanic canal, and that
he should carry out that wish. He is also
told that the senate cannot arrive at any
conclusion as to the proper way of car
rying out the wishes of the peoplec and
he is instructed to proceed, within, GER
tain specified lines, to take such steps and
make such contracts for the carrying out
of such wish as he may deem best. In
deed, the bill gives the president great
liberty of action; it authorizes him to ig-
more the Maritime Canal company if he
thinks the interests of the country would
be best subserved, and even to abandon
the N]icaraguan route and negotiate for
Nicaragua n Costa Rica certain sup
Elementary concessions to those granted
the Maritime Canal company, and such
as will confirm the United States in the
permanent possession of the canal, it may
build. He is also authorized and direct
ed to commence the building of the n
under the concessions granted the Mari
time Canal company, and authorized to
pay such company such sums, not to ex-
coed s., 900, 900, as will reimburse it for the
actual work it has done and availed of by
the government.
In addition to all this, the president is
authorized to contract for the building of
the canal and to pay therefore a sum not
to exceed Sis, 600, 900. But if he cannot
secure from NlCdldSu d dill eHleuSlOu OIL
the concessions to the Maritime Canal
company, and such additional grants as
vii: secure the permanent ownership of
such canal to the United States, failing
in which he is directed to negotiate for
some other route.
This is the essence Of the bill as it
passed the senate 1t gives the president
almost unlimited power over the whole
subject matter Of the building, limiting
him only in the amount Of money to be
paid out. 1t will be seen that the bill is
in a considerable tumble, which it is
thought the house will straighten out. The
bill, however, as passed by the senate,
provides that the building of the canal
shall not be undertaken by the Maritime
Canal mpa unless the president sue
coed in getting supplementary and
~amendatory grants from Nicaragua such
as will insure to this country the con-
trolling ownership in the canal for all
time to come. That is a condition that
will be insisted on.

CHANGES IN TIME CARD.
Rock Island to Make Improvements In
Service.

Service.
The details of the changes that are
to be the features of the new time card
on the Rock Island have been received
by Agent F. H. Plummer. They do
not make great changes, but they do
include at least two distinct extern
sions of the passenger service at this
point, and are, on that account, of no
little interest.
Train No. "a, the fast eastbound
train that has been leaving here for
Chicago at II noon, will leave here at
~ 40 p. m. on the new card, and will
arrive at Chicago at 4:45 p. m. or 10
minutes later than it now arrives
there. This adding of 10 minutes to
the card of this train is done by in
Guiding the towns of Walcott, Durant
and Stockton in its stops. 1t has not
been making these places heretofore.
All the other changes are in the
time of westbound trains No. 11-25,
which have been run to Rock Island
from Chicago as one train, will be
split at Chicago on the new card, and
will be two trains. This virtually
gives the three towns, and all points
east of here. another train from Chi
CdSo. NJ IL, Tue Souln"eSI PdSoeh
ger, has been leaving here for Kansas
City at 1910 p. m. 1t will go at
10:35-five minutes earlier. No. %,
which has been, and is still, run to
Rock Island consolidated with it, has
also left here at 1910, but its time on
the new card will be l1:10 p. m. The
Rock Island man who has business in
Chicago clear up to g O'Clock in the
evening will be able to attend to it
and still get home before midnight.
Because of the tightening of both of
these trains between Chicago and here,
they will be little quickened on the
card. which will not be regarded as
bjectiorable.
The changes will go into effect next
Sunday.

TRIP OF A BOTTLED NOTE.
Dropped In Lake Huron, 1t Was Car
ried to Dewey Celebration.

On Aug. 13, 1898, Mr. and Mrs. John
France and Mr.. and Mrs. A. r. Bell
of Decatur, near Wabash, Ind, while
aboard a steamer in Lake Huron near
the strait Of Mackinac threw over
board n tightly corked bottle of very
thick glass. containing a brief note to
the finder and signed by all of the four.
They had entirely forgotten the Incl
dent until recently, when Mr.. France
received by mail n note from II. Kau-
maker of Columbus. o., stating that
he had, while at the Dewey festivities
in New York. picked up the bottle,
which was floating in New York har-
Dor. says the Chicago Record. 1t was
then tightly sealed, and the note was
found just as written.
Mr.. kaumaker expressed the hope
that all of the four were alive and
we'll. The bottle apparently had made
the journey through Lake Huron, Lake
Erie, over Niagara and through the
whirlpool, followed the Niagara river
to Lake Ontario and thence down the
st. Lawrence to the sea, whence it was
carried by the currents down the At
lantic coast.
