Washington, Feb. S.-For two hours
or more the senate had the resolution
declaratory Of policy of this govern
ment in the Philippines under consid-
GRAFTON, but no vote was reached and
the resolution went finally to the cal
endar. In accordance with notice
given tic previous evening Mr.. Till
man Addressed the senate upon the
resolution, making characteristic and
picturesque argument. He maintained
that a clear explicit, and direct resolu-
ton ought to be adopted and not one
that was meaningless and incense
quential. He predicted that dire re-
suits would follow the ratification OF
the treaty unless the United States
| treated the Filipinos with absolute
| firmness and gave them self-govern-
ment. Mr.. Lodge followed with a
strong reply to Mr.. TilIman, in which
I, he expressed strongly and clearly the

States in the Philippines.

LO, the Poor Indian, Stranded
at EmpOria.
A Band of Cheyenne Bucks,
SquaWs and Proposes
FIND TREASURY MINUS
Touring the Country, Giving
War Dances.
White Men In Charge Try to
Abandon Them.

Emporia, Aug 29.-The band of
Cheyenne Indians that have been in
this city for the past few days, are in
hard luck They were brought here by
a man who took them from their reser-
walton at Darlington, Indian Territory.
TO tour the surrounding country and
give war dances. They have lost mon
ey ever since they started out, and on
reaching here went broke.
The crowds they received here did not
retrieve their lost fortune, and yester-
day the white men who had them in
charge started to take down the tent,
preparing to leave town, and incident
ally the Indians, but the city officials
got onto the fact, and they promptly
informed the white men that they
could not take the tent away until they
took the Indians back to the reserva-
ton.
The band consists of 16 bucks, six
squaws and two papooses. Such an ag-
gregation is a source of some expense
at best, and it is surprising that they
should tour a country SO close to the
Indian nation as this.

SOLD TO THE INDIANS.
Is the Charge Made Against Arkansas
City Saloonists.

Wichita, Aug. 29.-Deputy United
States Marshal Fred Trigg went to
Arkansas City and arrested Ben Con-
rade and Albert Blanchard, two saloon
men, on the charge of selling intoxicat-
ing liquors to Indians. They were
brought here and furnished bonds of
$500 for their appearance before the
September term of the federal court.
1t is charged that on the Fourth of
July Ben COnrade sold some whisky to
Samuel Thunder Bull and that Albert
Blanchard dispensed some of the same
stuff to William Cross. Both are pu-
pills in the Chillocco Indian school near
Arkansas City.
The people behind the temperance
movement claim that it is impossible to
convict a saloon man in Arkansas City
under the state law. They say that it
has been tried in several cases and that
the defendants have always been ac-
quilted. In order that the matter might
be brought into court outside of the
county, the charge was preferred
against the parties for selling liquor
to Indians. The penalty is either a term
in the penitentiary or a heavy fine at
the discretion of the court.
Both Conrade and Blanchard have
fine saloons. Comrades place is said to
be the finest in the state. He but lately
finished the erection of a new building
and now operates his place in his own
building.

ACUINALDO DEAD
According to a Report In jap
anese Paper.

Hamilton, O., Aug. 29.-F. o. Maya
and S. LANCE. Japanese tea merchants
of this city, today received copy of
the Chu Kizo Shinko, a newspaper
printed in Nagoga, Japan, July 22,which
contains a dispatch from Manila that
has not yet become public in America.
Under the heading: New Philippine
Information" the paper prints the fol-
lowing:
I'm the latter part of June near San
Fernando, Aguinaldo was killed by
Gen Pho Pilas. Pillar visited him to
enquire about the death of
Gen. Luna and Aguina1do answered
that he never knew anything about this
case and told Pillar to mind his own
business. Gen. Pillar then called Aguin-
aldo a liar and pulling a pistol shot
Aguinaldo in the forehead, killing him

THE ISSUE IS MADE.


The issue Of the next campaign is
made.
In spite of what this or that person
or party may desire territorial expan-
sion is to be the point of attack and
defense.
The challenge of Mr.. Bryan and his
followers. who declare that the Philip
pines should be treated like Cuba has
been accepted by President Mckinley.
In his speech delivered at Pittsburg
yesterday on the occasion of the cele-
bration of the Tenth Pennsylvania
return. the president took up the gage
of battle. when he declared:
Peace brought US the Philippines, by
treaty cession from Spain. The senate
of the United States ratified the treaty.
Every step taken was in obedience to
the requirements of the constitution. 1t
became our territory and is ours, as
much as the Louisiana purchase, or
Texas, or Alaska"
And in the course Of the same ad-
dress: Until the treaty was ratified
we had no authority beyond Manila
city, bay and harbor. We then had
no other title to defend, no authority
beyond that to maintain. Spain was
still in possession of the remainder of
the archipelago. Spain had sued for
peace. The truce and treaty were not
concluded The first blow was struck
by the insurgents. Our kindness was
reciprocated with cruelty, our mercy
with Mauser The flag Of truce was
invoked only to be dishonored. Our
soldiers were shot down when minister
ing to wounded Filipinos. Our human
ity was interpreted as weakness, our
forbearance as cowardice. They as
sailed our sovereignty and there will
be no useless parley-no pause until the
instruction is suppressed and American
authority acknowledged and estab-
1ished."
And again:
While we give you hail and greeting
from overlooking hearts, We do not for
get the brave men who remained and
those who have gone forward to take
your places and those other men who
have so promptly volunteered. crowd
ing each other to go to the front, to
carry forward to successful completion
the work you so nobly began Our
prayers go with them and more men
and munitions if required for the speedy
suppression of the rebellion, the estab-
Iishment of peace and tranquility and
a government under the undisputed
sovereignty of the United States-a
government which will do justice to all
and at once encourage the best efforts
and aspirations of these distant people
and the highest development of the rich
and fertile lands"
The presidents words admit of but
one Interpretation. While he is able
to prevent it, the Philippines will not
be surrendered to any body, native or
foreign.
His policy is one Of annexation and
on that he is willing to go before the
country next year.

WHO HIT H1MP
MCPHERSON Man Badly Injured Is
Unable to Explain How.

Mcpherson, Aug. 29.-Yesterday Gust
Gustafson was found by his wife wan
dering about the yard in a dazed con-
dition, his head covered with blood.
When she asked him what was the
matter he answered, why, he hit me-
Since then he has been unable to
give any account of himself, or what
happened to him It was at first thought
that one of the horses had kicked him,
but he had left the house to drive the
cattle to the pasture and had not gone
near the stable. His hat was found in
a manger in the stable, where a colt is
kept.
1t has since been found that his
pocketbook is gone. The hired man on
the place was found at work in the
field and apparently knew nothing of
what had happened. The injuries on
Mr.. Gustafson's head were evidently
made with a weapon, and not by the
kick of a horse, as there was a long
cut over the eye, another on top of the
head and one on the back of the head.
The affair is very mysterious, as he
was not known to have any enemies

the quantity of our exportable surplus
of cereals may not fully equal that of

prospects the Importance of which it
is not easy to exaggerate.

prospects ahead. A larger number Of
working men are employed today on
terms satisfactory to themselves and
their employers than ever before in
the national history. Discomfort is
nowhere justifiably to be found. It is
true grievances creep out occasionally
here ana there, but they are not of ser
ious consequence. The demand has
fairly caught up to the supply in every
thing. There is little selling ahead. The
business of the country is on a legiti-
mate basis and devoid of boom, which
is the best evidence of it's substantial
and lasting character. Now that the
has passed over, the impetus to push
business ahead can be relied upon for
the balance Of this year at least, there

WAR in SIGHT.
Dom PauI's Declaration Makes
It Almost Inevitable.

London, Aug. Recommending on the
declaration of President Kruger of the
Transvaal to the effect that the South
African republic adhered to it's latest
offer and would not make any further
concessions, the afternoon papers here
unanimously draw attention to the in
creased seriousness of the TransvaaI
crisis, but at the same time they ex-
press uncertainty regarding the nature
of the concessions beyond which Presi-
dent Kruger says he will not go. No
official announcement has been made
of this though they are generally be-
neVed to be a five year franchise and
increased Outlander representation.
If this is correct the Globe says,
cit can not be long before diplomacy
has to stand aside as of no further
service.
The Pail Mall Gazette says:
President Kruger's adherence to
these would mean adherence to impos-
stble conditions and if so the situation
has come to an ugly head
The Westminster Gazette: while
lamenting the immoderation which it
says led to the present crisis, admits
that the country is within sight a war
which may shortly be as unavoidable
as on the merits of the question 1t
would be inexcusable.
ITO whatever dispatch or conditions
President Kruger's defiant remark re-
ferred, it has brought home sharply
the keep possibility of an impending
war against no weakened adversary.
1t is said that with recruits from over
the borders, the Transvaal would have
about 10000 men at its disposal, where
as the most British now could throw on
the frontier would be 80, 600, though of
course this number would be materially
increased within a month.
The British public is taking intense
interest in the preparations of their
own forces already il South Africa. In

PLEA FOR MRS. NEW.
Sister Comes From Bigbee, Arizona
to Intercede.

Mrs Mary Kinsey of Bigbee, Arizona,
has come to Kansas to make an effort
to secure for her sister, Mrs. Elizabeth
New a pardon from the state peniten-
tiary where she is now serving a 40
year sentence for the murder of her
husband.
Mrs New recently made a will in
which she bequeathed to the matrOn of
the penitentiary Mrs. Martha J. Fitz-
gerald, 5000. H. E. Ballou, chaplain Of
the prison is also the beneficiary of the
will to the amount of $500. In this doc
ument Mrs. New says:
In the presence of Almighty God
here protest and proclaim that am in
nocent of the awful crime of killing my
beloved husband, Joseph New"
Mrs New directs that she shall be
buried beside her father and mother at
Eureka and that the body of her muir
dered husband shall be exhumed and

Mrs. Kinsey is now in Greenwood
county circulating a petition for the
pardon OF her sister.

A TRusT REMEDY.

The Chicago Record, discussing the
trust problem, declares that:
While congress possesses no direct
Jurisdiction to regulate corporations,
it has unlimited power to tax their
earnings, their securities issued and
their dividends. An annual tax can be
collected on all their stocks, and this
tax can be graduated so as to fall
lightly or not at all on the small legiti-
mate companies, but heavy enough on
the large concerns to squeeze all the
water out of their capital. A good fea-
ture of such a law would be a tax Of
say, ten per cent annually, like the tax
on state bank notes, on all securities
issued in excess of the actual property
of a company. Another necessary fea-
ture would be a heavy tax on the pay
ment of excessive dividends or the ac-
cumulation of profits in excess of the
amount necessary to pay a reason
able return to the investor Such a law
collecting prohibitive tax on excess
sive issues of securities and excessive
dividends and profits, would draw the
fangs of the trusts and make them
harmless, while preserving to the pro-
Queer and consumer the advantages of
consolidation.
