The reception given by Mrs. S. G. Wilder, at
the palatial Wilder residence "Esbank," on the
4th inst. in honor of Mr.. and Mrs Horace Craft
and Mr.. and Mrs. James Wilder, was the most
successful function of the season, not alone for
the large attendance, but in the beauty of the
drapery displayed by the fair guests and the
thoroughly hospitable, Hawaiian manner, in
which the hostess catered to the comfort and
pleasure of the large company The affair will
long live in the memory of the lucky guests.

trical display. The various items of the program
were we'll given and received merited applause.
The special cornet solos, by Fred w. Lewis,
obtained deserved encores. An innovation in
band concerts, viz: a buck and wing dancer, was
the choice morsel for the multitude of gamlns
present.

were issued March Goth and April
18th, 1897. After careful in
quiry we find this to be a bogus
company, therefore nothing can
be recovered on these policies.
We find there were 40 of these
policies on dispenssrles in the
State, with premiums amounting
to $4S5.0 05 and losses by fire
amounting to 5000. The last
policy in this company expired
eight months ago. In the future
we recommend that no insurance,
either on State or county dispen-
saries, he placed without know
ing they are reliable companies
licensed to do business and have
fully complied with tho insurance
laws of the State, also that the
party claiming to represent them
is their regular appointed agent.
We find all dispensers have
good and satisfactory bonds so
far as We can judge with the
showing before us.

The much-dclayed and much
discussed report on the dispen-
sary insurance has been made at
last. 1t states that the dispen>
ssry has been unable to collect
two fire losses because the ctm-
pany, of which B. B. Evans was
the South Carolina agent, was a
bogus one; also that 40 policies
in this bogus company were placed
on dlspensaries, presumably by
the same agent. The report does
not cover what members Of the
board Of control declared in con-
versalion last November was a
fact-that the same agent had
issued one or more policies in a
Charleston company which subss-
quently submitted to them copies
Of letters showing that it had last
winter or spring prohibited the
issue by this agent of its policies
on dispenssry property. What
became of that casel Were the
premiums paid by the State re-
coversdl Why is nothing said
about it in the reportl The mat
ter generally is handled in q very
ginerly manner. 1t will be inter-
esting to know if anything has
been done to promote the ends of
justice. The report doesn't show
that either. The State.

ICIES.
Report of the Committee of the
State Board of Control on the
pDispenssry Insurance
Matter.

At the meeting of the State
Board of Control last Wednesday
the committee appointed sever
months ago to investigate the in.
surance policies on the State and
county dispsnsaries and the bonds
of the dispensers, made its report
1t will be seen from the report
that on account of the bogus insu-
rance the loss by fire was $500.
and the amount of premiums paid
was $4S5. 05 on all boguo policies,
making a total loss of 81, ,0S5 OS.
All OF these policies expired some
months ago. 1t was not stated at
the meeting if any action would
be taken to recover from the
agent who wrote the policies the
amount lost but there is some
talk of this being done.
The resignation of r f Dick.
son as superintendent of the State
dispensary, to take effect Feb 2S,
was presented and accepted. Mr..
Dickson resigns to take another
position.
The following is the report of
the insurance committee

of 5000, have not been paid; these

TlLLMAN TAKES
THEM TO TASK.
He Speaks Plainly to the Poll
Cy Resolution Text.
PRESENT AND TUE FUTURE
How the World Will Look at
This Country's Attitude To-
wards the Filipinos-
Lodge in Reply.

Washington, Feb For two
hours or more the senate today
had the resolution dsclaratory of
a policy of this government IN the
Philippines under discussion, but
no vote was reached and tho reso-
luton finally went to the calendar.
In accordance with the notice
given last evening, Mr.. Tillman
(Dem. Of South Carolina, ad>
dressed the Senate on the resolu-
ton making a characteristic and
picturesque argument.
Mr.. Lodge (Rsp) of Masssehu-
setts followed with strong re-
ply to Mr.. Tillman in which he
stated clearly and directly the con-
ditions as they confronted the
United States in the Philippines.
! Mr. Tillman said in opening that
he had listened to the debate up
on the treaty with interest, but
without taking part in it. He had
contented himself with occasional
little forays and with jnduIging
in little guerrilla warfare.
The first thing that strikes me,
said ho, in the reading of this
resolution is it's absolute useless
ness and it's coldblooded purpose
it's simple declaration of purpose
to buy and sell those people of
the Philippines for our interests
and steadfastly to ignore their in>
terests. If ! mistake not the trend
of events the ratification of the
treaty promises disaster to the
party responsible for it.
IF it was right, said he, in dis
cussing the changes Of votes on
ratification, "to defeat the treaty
on Saturdsy,it was right to defeat
it yesterday He said that never
in his Legislative experience had
he heard so many speeches against
a proposition followed by so many
votes in favor Of the proposition.
To his mind it indicated that cer-
tain senators had yielded to pres
sure
Concerning the constitution, he
declared that the only scintills
now left of it WAS that which re-.
quired that treaty could only bs
ratified by a two-thirds vote of
the senate. The ratification of
the treaty, he said, had determln-
cd that fact that in law the Filipos
were rebels against the United
States. If they fired on our flag
they would be regarded as rebels.
That was the way the world saw
it. However the trouble in tho
Philippines might terminate, the
Filipinos would be regarded ss
|
patriots who were fighting for
their liberty just AS much AZ were
the American revoluti0uists.
'lf any resolution is passed here
we ought to pass one bringing
peace to the Philippines, not dis
aster.
"The question now is: Are
we to take the place of SPAN as
task masters and tyrants 90
Turning to Mr. Lodge who was
listening to the speech, Mr. Till
man inquired if the situation in
the Philippines was not unique,
was not undupIicated anywhere in
history

have taken liberty and freedom
have turned upon us
Mr. Tlllman declared that the
situation in the Philippines was
similar to that which confronted
Great Britain in the Transvaal
and. after reviewing EnglanRs
trouble in South Africa, said that
we wanted nothing in those islands
except the power to control their
foreign policy.
OF course he continued, we
can send tens of thousands of
troops to tho Philippines, and as
tho senator from Montana, Gar
tori said the other day, We can
shoot those people to death but
onght we to do it ls it honora-
BILE for us to do itl'
Mr. Tillman then read some
verses from kipling's latest poem
The White Mans Burden, which
he regarded rs exactly fitted to
our case. Every man in this
chamber but five, said he, 'who
has had to deal with the colored
race voted against the treaty. We
of the south have borno The
White Mans Burden. 1t was
handed down to us by your IA
ther and mine and it clings to us
like the shirt of Nessus.'
He maintained that we did not
want to incorporate into our citi-
zenship the mongrel population of
the Philippines and inaugurste
another race struggle in the Unit
ed States.
There are two cities in the Pa
cific, said Mr. TilIman, 'over

do what? TO force upon those
people government whether it
be satisfactory to them or not"
The debate for tho day, on the
McEnery resolution was concluded
by MIR. Lodge in brief speech
in tho course of which he stated
some of the facts relating to the
insurrection in the Philippines
against Spain and the part Agui
naldo took in it.
Further along Mr.. Lodge,
speaking of the restraints plsceG
upon the American forces in the
Philippines, said; stringent
orders have gone from the presi-
dent to Gen. Otis and Admiral
Dewey to exercise the creates,
care in their treatment Of the
Filipinos, and not by word OF
deed to provoke them. A fort
right ago Gen. Otis, in accordance
with orders received from the
administration, officially informed
AguinaldO that he had no inteu
ton of making an attack upon the
Filipino troops. Senator Lodge
concluded by reiterating his state
n cnt that it was his belief HIT the
Filipinos had made precon-
certea and prearranged attack
upon our troops at Manila for
the purpose of influencing action
upon the treaty.
Mr. TilIman secured the floor
again to read a paragraph from
Ma Bells report on the condi.
ton of the Filipino insurgent,
and concluded with tho decIara-
ton that the peace commissioner,
had gone to Paris with the pur'
pose of buyiD0 the Philinnine,
