that it has been found absolutely neces-
Dary to call for assistants. The commits

chises and concessions, the distribution
of moneys to be spent in public improve
ments, and all of the troublesome issues
that have arisen and are likely to arise
in Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philippines.

MONTANA's ACTION UPHELD

Has Right to Tax Unpatented Selections
Of Railroad Companies.
WASHINGTON, Jan. A.-In the United
States supreme court. Justice McKenna
handed down an opinion in the case of
the Northern Pacific Railway company,
versus the treasurer Of Jefferson county,
Mon. The case involves the right Of
the state authorities to tax railroad
lands within the Northern Pacific grant
which are unpatented, because their
character with reference to minerals
has not been determined. The railroad
company contended that such right had
not existed, but the decision of the cir
cult court was against the company and
the supreme court upheld this opinion.
Justices Brewer, Shiras, White and
Peckham dissented.

FORCE ISSUES
Otis Reported to Have Cabled His
Opinion That a Crisis Is
at Hand.
Insurgents Believed to Be About
to Force an Issue at
Manila,
The Result Of Which Cannot
the Present Time Be
FOreSeen.
Secretary Of Agoncillo Leaves
Papers at the State De-
partment.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-Senor Lopez,
secretary to Agoncillo, the Washington
representative Of Aguinaldo, called ct
the state department and lodged with
the chief clerk communication, which,
according to the common expectation,
marked the critical stage in the Filipino
situation. This is the third attempt
made by the Filipino representative to
secure official recognition from the
United States government. Secretary
Hay, at the time the communication
was presented, was attending a meeting
of the cabinet at the White House, 80
that all Chief Clerk Michael could do
under the circumstances was to receive
the paper as he would any other handed
in to him.
The advices from Manila which have
reached the war department are far
from reassuring. It is understood that
General Otis reports an expectation on
his part that the insurgents are about
to force an issue, and if this should be
80 the result cannot be foreseen. Manila
itself, and not lollo, as might at first be
suspected, is regarded as the danger
point just now.
MADRID, Jan. 25.-A dispatch from
Hong Kong to The Reforma of this city
says letter received from the Philip
pine islands, under date of Jan. 20, an
nounced that rupture between the Fill
ipinos and the Americans is an accom-
plished fact and that the lives Of the
Spaniards in the archipelago are en-
dangered. 4,
CHICAGO, Jan. PA special to The
Tribune from Washington, says: The
government has been notified that
Aguinaldo has taken decisive step and
publicly proclaimed the republic Of the
Philippines.
The ceremony took place at Malolos,
and was witnessed by the members of
his cabinet.
This news comes from Manila, where
the tidings of Aguinaldo's proceedings
were received with public demonstra-
tions of mild sort.
All is not plain sailing for the insur.
gents, as it is said the rival authorities
at Cebu are fighting.
The trouble has not yet reached an
acute state, but the safety of the town
and surrounding country is in danger.
The northern provinces have recently
given indications that they are not in
accord with Aguinaldo, and should his
proclamation lead to hostilities with the
Americans, he may have a revolution as
well as a war of conquest on his hands.
Another serious feature, according to
dispatches, is that the interior of Luzon
is in ferment. Native officers have
been murdered and no effort made to
punish the criminals.

Mr. Hoar's Colleague States His Position
on the Philippine Question.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-When the
senate convened Mr.. Gallinger had a
resolution passed, which he intimated
might show a scandal in connection
with the management Of the Washing
ton asylum of this city, the responsible
sity for which he frankly placed at the
door of congress. It provided for an in
Ivestigation of the asylum by the COM
Emittes on District of Columbia.
|fs MIR. Gallinger said there were 828 in
mates of the institution. In the work
house for males there were 216 hunks
and 314 inmates. He deemed the situa-
ton to be disgrace to Washington,
and calculated to bring reproach upon
congress. -.
Senator Lodges Speech. ..
Mr.. Lodge then delivered his speech
on the question of ratifying the treaty
with Spain. He believed there was nc
other proper course than to ratify the
treaty and then establish stable gov
ernment in the islands. We should
keep them under our protection until
such time as they were able to govern
themselves, and then, if they wished,
give them absolute independence.
Meanwhile we should give them the
largest measure of self government
practicable. He believed as nation we
were both capable and willing to do this.
Mr.. Clay of Georgia. one of the Dem.
ocratic senators who expects to vote fol
the ratification Of the treaty of peace,
then addressed the senate on the gen.
eral question of territorial expansion.
He made it very clear that nothing
should be allowed to stand in the way
of promp ratification, but that this gov
ernment should make to the Filipinos
the same promises of ultimate indepen-
dence that are held out to the Cubans.
At 2:35, on motion Of Senator Davis,
the senate went into executive session
and resumed consideration of Senator
Berry's motion to consider the peace
treaty in open session.

ORIaADIRR GENERAL CHARLES r. EAaAM. II,
General Wesley Merritt is at the head
and a judge advocate, and it is to meet
in this city Wednesday the 25th inst.,I
or as soon thereafter as practicable,a
this qualification being necessary be-
cause number Of the members are at
distant points and will require some
days to adjust their affairs and reach
this city. All the officers composing
the court, save one, are from the regu-s
lar army, a number Of whom, however,
during the war accepted volunteer rank
and still hold those commissions.
Detail Of the Court. n
The detail for the court is as follows,
Major General Butler being the only;
member not connected with the regular
army: Major General Wesley Merritt,
U. s. A.; Major General James
Wade, U. S. "; Major General Mat!

Francis E. Guenther, Fourth artillery,
and Lieutenant Colonel George B.
Davis, deputy judge advocate general,
judge advocate of the court.
Will Not BE Placed Under Arrest.
If the expectation at the adjutant gen.
erals Office is followed it is probable
General Eagan will not be placed under
actual arrest and deprived of any of his
liberties pending and during the actual
trial, but will be subject only to tech
nical arrest during that time. In the
case Of officers of high rank this is occa-
sionally but not often done and this
course does not in any way invalidate
the trial or findings Of the court. Gen
eral Eagan will be expected to remain
away from his Office and render himself
inconspicuous until his appearance be-
fore the court to answer the charges,
when he will be placed under construc-
tive arrest and remain so during the
proceedings.

Anti-Quay Members Of Pennsylvania Leg

HARRISBURG. Pa, Jan. 25.-A state
ment has been issued by the steering
committee Of. the anti Quay organiza-
ton, in part as follows:
Eve, the undersigned, a committee
representing and acting for and by the
authority Of the anti-Quay Republican
members of the legislature, hereby
enter our protest against the unwar-
ranted and unusual attempted inter
ference Of the chief executive of our
state with the members of the legisla-
ture for the purpose of influencing their
votes for the election Of M. s. Quay to
the United States senate.
1--WE regard the open letter of Gov
ernor Stone, published by the press, as
an improper interference by the execu-
tive branch Of the government with the
rights and duties of the legislative de-
partment of the commonwealth.
1uay's ..nIonstrous Proposition."
The statement then recites the alleged
efforts Of Senator Quay to evade trial on
the conspiracy charges against him,
and continuing, says:
While these proceedings were to be
argued in the supreme court on Jan. z,
Mr.. Quay attempted to force caucus
on Jan. 8, eight hours after the organ.
ization Of the legislature.
This monstrous proposition wiped
aside all precedents and we declined to
vote for M. s. Quay until he had been
acquitted of these criminal charges
which he had adroitly lodged.
Notwithstanding the above the gov
ernOr of this commonwealth brushes
aside the court and jury, and all the
criminal charges in the case, and upon
the naked statement Of D. T. Watson,
the paid attorney of M. s. Quay, de-
clares Mr.. Quay innocent and the vic
tim of political persecution"

TWO LANGUAGES.
Learned by Smart Young Man While
 Teaching Another.

Brooklyn Citizen; 1 know young American in New York, who, some years. ago, after saving enough money to pay his passage across the Atlantic. and studying French for a short time, went to Paris, hired room, and put on it's door a card bearing his name, with the legend, Teacher of the English Language" In a few days he got a pupil al the rate of one franc a week;
 by the end of the week he had several pupils; his fame spread so that in a few months he had four classes, each class with 20 pupils, meeting in his room at different hours of the morn ing and the evening His weekly in- come now was so francs, or $16, which was twice as much as he needed for his support. All this time he was learning the French language by teaching the English and by talking with his pupils. At the end of the first year he could count dollars in his pocket by the hun dred. Meanwhile, having managed to pick up some scraps of German, he de- termined to try his luck in one of the university cities of Germany. He there put out small sign bearing his name and the words. Teacher of English and French He got more pupils than he had in Paris, end meanwhile, not only perfected himself in the German tongue, but took lessons in Latin and Greek at classical academy. In less than three years from the time he left New York ne came back to it. and now he is professor of ancient and modern languages, including the Sans crit and Persian, in a famous American institution of learning. I would like to print his name in this place, but he says Don't as he himself is going to get out Look telling the whole story.

LETTER BOXES.
Which Deliver Messages and Caras se
 Upper Floors.


 In several of the new apartment houses in Paris an ingenious invention has been placed, which Is of such prac- tical, common sense value that 1t might be introduced with profit in this country, where any saving of time and labor appeals so strongly te modern American ideas. Tbe patent in ques- tion is an automatically moving letter box for the reception of letters ad- dressed to a tenant In the yestibule of the house are placed just as many of these letter boxes as there are ten ants in the building In general ap- pearance there is little difference he tween the group of boxes and those to be seen in the vestibule of any fiat house in this country Instead. how ever, Of retaining the letters. cards. etc. until a servant deseends Co get them, or the tenant opens the box on entering or leaving his house, the Paris invention performs it's work promptly by delivering it's contents to the person for whom they are intend ed. Thus, when the postman on his rounds has a letter for MT. So-and-So. he deposits it in the box bearing that gentleman's name The missiye opens lever at the bottom of the box, which thereupon moves upward until it comes to MT. So-and-sos apartment. Then, by a co-relative mechanism, the contents of the box are emptied into a receptacle in the hall of the apart ment. and bell is rung automatically to notify the servants that a letter has come. Its duty done, the box de seends again to take it's place with those of the other tenants in the yes tibule. And not only a letter alone, but even a visiting card dropped into the box will speed it on it's upward errand so light is Che weight required to operate this practical mechanism
