CURRENCY,
Then THE
PHILIPPINES
wirl Be Considered by the Senate
After Holiday
Recess.
SAYS SENATOR FAIRBANKS.
Philippine Question VIII Lead in
Coming Campaign With
the Money Issue.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Dec. 2s.-sen-
ator Charles W. Fairbanks arrived
home to-day and gave the following In
terview outlining the senate programme
and commenting upon national ques-
tlons. He said:
THE first thing after the holiday re-
cess Will be the consideration Of the
currency bill. This matter will be ta-
ken up on January 4, and there Will in
all probability be month of debate on
the question Of It's passage. 1t will not
take longer than that, however. and
the bill will pass the senate beyond all
doubt.
AFTER that there may be some dis
cussion about the Filipino questions, II
the resolutions of Senator Hoar re-
ceiye attention attention. However. the
opportunity Of discussing this question
viii be given during the next presIdcn-
tlal campaign, as 1t will be one of the
leading questions. The phase Of the
question which will receive attention at
the hands of the senate will be the
best way to Immediately cease hostIlit-
les and bring the islands under the
subtugatlon of the United States. The
question Of annexation viii come up af-
terward ana will be discussed by the
people at large during the next cam
paign.
"The court investigation of the Rob-
erts case is in the hands Of the court
appointed for that purpose and the
final decision win likely be made in the
near future. There can be but one out
come, and that is that he will be in
structed to return to the state OF
Utah"
Regarding the Alaskan boundary con-
troversy he said:
This matter is stlll unsettled and ne
gotiations are still pending between
the two countries. Just what definite
shape the matter will assume is not
easily determined"
Mr.. Fairbanks said the sentiment in
favor Of retaining the Philippines Is
very strong in Washington, and 1T is
regarded as one of the most important
Of the issues Of the coming presidential
campaign. He thinks the money ques-
ton WIN be one of the issues, but not
the most important.

FENIAN INVASION PROPOSED.

Col. Scanned, of Boston, Talks of a
Fsnian Invasion Of canada-Ehers
Have Been others and They Have
Been Flat Failures.
BOSTON, Dec. 2s.-A movement
looking to the invasion of Canada by
the Fcnlans and advanced by Irish Ma
tIonalists, has been aEItated for Some
time by leaders OF these organizations
In and around Boston, Colonel Roger
F. scannel. who has been idcntIhed with
Irish ngltatIons for many years said
today that there was to be a meeting
OF prominent Irish Natlonallsts In Phil

discuss the question Of invading Cana

BUFFALO, Dec. GA special from
Dunlirls says: 'The FenIans are said to
be organizing here for a union Of Cana
da. A man known TO have knowledge
OF the condition of Fenian aHairs In
DunlIrk, says this city has beea called
upon to raise 600 men to form a part Of
New York,s quota of the l25,OOo men
that are to be enrolled throughout the
country. At the present time 500 men
are known to be mustered with the
Fenlans here and the remaining 100 Will
be obtained with little difficulty. 1t is
currently and extensively credited that
the Fenlans have two carloads Of arms
and munitions OF war in concealment
in or near this city. This material Ia
said to have been in the possession Of
the DunlIrk Fenians for some years"

away to take part In the African war.
at has been agitated for years" con-
tinued the colonel, that Canada should
either be annexed to the United States
or should have an independent govern
ment of her own. The South African
war will, in my opinion, see the first
break in The British empire. With an
army Of 100000 Irish NatIonallsts en-
gagged in the invasion Of Canada, 1t
would make things interesting for the
English government" q
Referring to the Fenian invasion Of
Canada Of many years ago, Colonel
Scanned said that 1t was a failure be-
cause there were too many generals
and colonels and no discipline. This
would not happen now, he said. since
the men are well organized all over the
country, and have confidence in their
leaders.

Father Chadwick, who was chaplain
of the Maine. and who performed the

services at Arlington.
A troop Of cavalry from Fort Myer
probably will assist in the ceremonies
at the graves, but with this exception
the demonstration will be entirely ma
val. The escort Eill consist entirely Of
marines and small body Of blue
Jackets, headed by the full Marine band

terry, but marines will IRE volleys over

'Taps" probably will be sounded by
buglers from the cavalry band at Fort

Looking to Boer Re-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-The alleged
attempts in different parts of the coun-
try to organize Fenlans for raid into
Canada have not as yet been drawn to
the attention Of the state department,
and nothing is known upon the question
beyond the matters set out in the news
paper publications The officials do not
give the smallest credence to the stories
and are Of the opinion that the purpose
In setting them afloat is to frlghten the
Canadians Into keeping their soldiers
at home and failing to answer to the
appeal of England for volunteers for
the African campaign,
Lord Pauncefote. the British ambis-
sador, is too well experienced in Amer
lean methods to make this matter the
basis Of official representations at this
stage, and. indeed. it is said at the state
department that he had not even found
1t necessary to demonstrate against the
alleged violation OF neutrality involved
in the recruiting of soldiers for the
Boer army within the limits OF the
United Stats. 1t is suggester that the
explanation for this attitude is a pre-
ference on the part of the British to
deal with such persons as may enlist
here for the Boer army after they leave
the boundaries OF the United States.
and 1t is mt doubted that all of these
movements that really promise to
amount to anything are being carefully
watched with view to catching the
volunteers at some convenient point by
q feet cruiser.
Should 1t turn out that a Feniau
movement of the kind alleged to exist
;s actually discovered and brought to
the attention of the United States gov
crnment, sharp and prompt repressive
action will be taken, not only to pre-
vent the violation of the neutrality
laws, but also to save the raiders them
selves from such consequences of their
actions as befel the unfortunate Feni9n
raider in1SG6.
The talk OF Fenian raid is well call
culated to cause alarm on the Canadian
side OF the border. as the people Of that
section wore greatly agitated during
the former Fenian excitement. Al
though an actual movement occurred
at that time, the chief trouble occurred
over alarming reports of invasions
which never took place. Something OF
panic took possession of the Cana
dIans on the border any many women
buried their household silver and valu-
ables on the small islands of the border
rivers, fearing that the Fenians were
about TO loot the towns. on the Amer
ican side the excitement was intensi-
fed by local FenIan organizations
which drilled in apparent anticipation
Of a movement, although these proved
to be purely local bodies more or less
sympathizlng with the movement, but
wholly without Systematic connection
with the head organization.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 2S-The British
ambassador, Lord PauncefOte. has made
no protest to the authorities here rela-
tive to the reported organized move
ments in various parts of the country
In behalf of the Beers, including the
FenIan movement. although these mat1
,ers were subjects of discussion be-
tween Secretary Hay and the ambAssa-
dor as late as this afternoon. The only
attention which the embassy IS giving
to these reports is to keep advised
through the British consuls at various
points as to any movements OF import
ancc. Thus far. however, nothing has
come from the conSulB to indicate that
any OF the movements was more than
local and 4ritilng. All the advices show
there has been nothing in the way Of
general organization, It is usually the
case In times Of war, the British ofi-
cIals receive many letters offering to
disclose recret movements or to sell
balloons, explosives and various other
novel war Inventions. But as most Of
these are anonymous, they receive no
attention.
