Yea, give" and he showed two roses; red
As the blood OF broken heart one rose,
The other snow white-and that one 1 chose.

OF what might have been had life held the CLEANS

SECRETARY ALGER INDORsEs IT.
Forwards to Congress Suggestions
Concerning War Supplies.

The Secretary of War has forwarded to
Congress with his Endorsement suggestion
from the heads of the various divisions of
the War Department for the continuance
of the law suspending the requirements for
advertising and other methods causing de-
lay in the purchase of supplies after the
close of the Spanish war
The suspension also admits free of duty
materials purchased abroad for the War
Department
In transmitting the recommendation Sec
retary Alger says: 1T appears to be highly
essential for the prompt supply of troops
in the field and at distant stations that the
suspended provisions be continued suspend
ed for such time as may be found neces-
sary."
Quartermaster General Ludington says:
The army in all probability will number
lOo.OG0 men until permanent legislation is
enacted fixing its number. A portion of this
army will serve in Cuba, Porto Rico. Ha-
waii and the Philippines. and will have to
be kept supplied by the quarternaster's de-

SENATOR FRYE EXPLAINS.
Why the FilipinOs Were Ignored by
the Paris COmmission

The Senate continued the consideration
of the peace treaty in executive session
yesterday, the doors being closed for almost
three hours. Senator Frye, a member of
the Paris peace commission, and naturally
a strong friend of the treaty, held the at
tention of the Senate during the greater
part of this time. Constructively he occu-
pied the floor during the entire session, but
he was frequently interrupted by other SEN
ators. Most of these Interruptions came in
the way of questions but some of them took
the form of speeches. This was notably the
case with Senator Berrys Interruptions He
spoke for some time and in doing so de-
nounced the treaty in severe terms. Sem
ators Mason and Caffery asked many ques-
tions.
Senator Frye devoted himself largely to
an explanation of the proceedings of the
commission, reading literally from the rec
ord as already printed. but stopping as he
proceeded to explain the quotations which
he made.
The First Instructions.
He had not proceeded a great way IN his
exposition of the subject when he was ask
ed II the President had not originally in
structed the commission to only insist upon
securing coalng station In the Philippine
group. To this Mr.. Frye replied that he
did not feel at liberty to give his interpre-
| tation of the Presidents instructions, but
| 1t was not necessary that he should do so,
as the President had, he said, determined
| to comply partially at least with the Sem
| ate's request for the documents on fle bear
| ing upon the negotiation Of the treaty, and
Mr.. Frye said he felt justified in assuring
| the Senate that the papers would be receiv-
| ed not later than Monday.
| Cession of the Archipelago,
| Mr.. Frye devoted the principal portion OF
| his speech to an explanation of why the
Philippine archipelago was included in the
| cessIon to the United States.
| He WAS asked tho question why those Isl.
| ands were not placed In The sa.aa ciasa as
| Cuba, the sovereignty over this island being
| mefsiy raiihauishsd, while Ia tho case al

one Of the most prominent Filipino families,
having been born in the province OF Bula-
can, upon AN estate near Manila His
uncle. Senor del Pillar. was a famous MEM
Der Of the Spunish Academy and attained
high distinction. General del Pillar received
some military training in an academy In
Manila, but the most of his education In
this line has been gained by active service
IN the field, He iA looked upon as one of
the coming men of the Philippine govern
Eaent.
The lad upon the left of General del Pillar
is tho naseot OF the regiment TO which the
company belongs. He 10 but twelve years

fessed to be fighting for freedom. Just as
the Cubans WERE and that they were still
contendng for their ewn Independence
One senator reminded him of the represen-
tations of Aguinaldo's American agent
Agoncillo, and asked if he meant to force
the Philippine people to actual hostilities
to which Mr. Frye retorted that it was the
opposition which was forcing a continuance
of the state OF war and which would be re-
sponsble for hostilities if they should occur
AS for himself however. he did not know
the Fiipinos in the transaction. The treaty
should have been ratified ten days ago
and if it had been all danger of war with
the people of the Philippine Islands would
have been averted.
Insurgents Were ignored
Senator Mason put tre question whether
the commissioners did not know when they
islands weie then as now demanding their
independence.
In RESPONSE. Mr.. Frye repeated that the
commission had dealt with SPAIN regard
ing the Filipinos subjects of that coun-
try. Spain had lost in the conflict of war
and herce the United States had perfect
right according to the law CT nations to
acquire 9ny nart of her possessions or peo-
pie in adjusting the balances after the war
was over
Senator Berry in his speech declared that
the acquisition of the islands was merely
a 81 ecuative scheme, containing more of
the element of land grabbing than of pa
triotism or philanthropy
