NOTHING BUT TALK

respondent of the Daily Chronicle ex-
presses the belief that today's session of
the Anglo-American high commission, will
be the last and the negotiations will re-
suit in complete failure, the American
commissioners refusing concessions ask

although foreseen, this is black news,
which will gauss deep dIsapp3SinIt5me el to
Mckinley and all serious and responsible
statesmen. 1t is needless to whitewash
facts. The real obstacle is undoubtedly

Canada has been Obdurate and English
sympathy with her will be warm and Wig

KANSAS TROOPS FROM CUBA
Officers at Ft. Leavenworth Preparing
for the 23rd's Arrival.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. 15.-The Off
GERS at Fort LeavenWorth are arranging
for the care of the 600 soldiers of the
Twenty third Kansas volunteers, negroes
who are expected here in few weeks.
Coming from the warm climate of Cuba,
it has been decided not to put them in
camp on the reservation at this time
of year. The privates will be quartered
in the infantry barracks and the Off
GERS will be placed in West End officers
quarters.
The post hospital is crowded now, and
the sick will be cared for in the tenn
porary hospital in the barracks next to
headquarters, fitted up for volunteers
last fall. Should the battalion of the
Sixteenth infantry come in the mean
time, as is expected, the post will be
greatly crowded.

WHOLE FAMILY PERISHED
In the Burning of the Arlington Flats
in Chicago.

Chicago, Feb. 15.-There seems to be
no doubt that three persons were burn
ed to death in the fire last night which
destroyed the Arlington flats at the
corner of Forty-first street and Grande
boulevard.
Those who are supposed to have
persisted are:
Fred A Marie, a mail carrier
Mrs. Fred Marie, his wife and their
infant son.
Marie, who was mail carrier, did not
report for duty today at the postoffice
and as every source of information in
regard to the possible whereabouts of
the family have been looked into with
out success all hope for their escape
has been given up.

SAME AS CUBA
Should the Philippines Be Treated
Saws David Starr Jordan.

San Francisco, Feb. 15.-Dr. David
Starr Jordan, president of Stanford uni
versity, in a lecture on the Philippine
question, reviewed the history Of
France, her failure in colonization, the
unfitness of the Fflipinos to become
American citizens and the unfitness of
our form of government to colonize sue
csesful!y. He said in part:
cessfully. He said in part:
should be the same as that of Cuba
No inhabited country should be ac-
quired by this government which can
not be made self governing and ulti-
mately received into the family of
states. Let the F'ilipinos fit their gov
eminent tic their own needs with
guarantee of our protection from out
side interference, but under no circum-
stances should any island inhabited by
an alien, semi-civilized population be
retained as a permanent possession"

ATTACKS ARCHBISHOP.
Article in a Catholic Journal Causes
Comment in Rome

Rome, Feb. 15.-In Vatican circles the
topic of the hour is the series of at
tacks made upon Archbishop Ireland in
the new journal, the True American
Catholic.
Able Maignen has startled both sides
of the house by his charge that the
Characteristics themselves wrote the
scurrilous articles in question, wishing
thus to martyrize themselves, whereas
the friends of the archbishop of St.Paul
on the other hand, declare that they
will institute criminal proceedings
against the newspaper and force it's
management to divulge the authorship
of the articles.

Atlanta, Ca, Feb. 15.-The Associated

today received the following from jack

1.-The snow covered all of Florida. as far

The homeward movement OF volunteers

Another factor for which Secretary Al
