might seem best and wisest Tor the gener-
al welfare of the whole coEntry.
The disorder now existing in the
Philippine Islands, the unwillingness OF
the armed natives to accept American au-
thority does not constitute In my mind
the slightest ground onowhich to base a
vote against the Paris agreement On
the contrary, it affords new reason why
our action should be the more prompt and
unanimous. All this talk about forcing
our government upon an unwilling
people; all this eloquent invocation of the
spirit of the declaration of Independence, Ia
far and away FIR ON any real point that
concerns the Senate IN this discussion.
No Senator can suppose that there exists
an American statesman who approaches
the consideration of the Philippine
problem, with any other than the most
benevolent intentions concerning the
Filipinos and their future There are
reasons why the natives OF these islands
should misunderstood the prese ce at
Manila of an American army but there Is
no reason why an American Senator
should misunderstood IL and no justifca-
tion OF his course In misrepresenting II.
He knows that close in the wake OF
American rule there would come 20 the
Filipinos a liberty that they have never
known and a far greater liberty than
they could ever have under the arrogant
rule of native dictator. He knows,
moreover, that it would bo self rule, the
rule OF the islanders to the full extent Of
their capacity in that direction, and that
each successive American President would
welcome the time when he could recon-
mend new leases of self government to III
advancing and improving people. The
Filipinos may not know those things yet.
but every American Senator Snows them
and puts himself and his courtry in u
false position when by attributing the
spirit Of conquest and aggression to those
whose policy has rescued the Filipinos
from spain and would now rescue them
from native tyrnnts, he encourages him
to doubt the generous sentiment OF our
people | do not say these conditions are

but certainly they forbid the use ON this
floor of any argument which tends to i'm
peril tho safety Of our troops at Manila or
which adds one whit to the embarrass
ment Of the ad ministration in the trying
situation with which it IL confronted.
Mr. President, | do not know and do
not think any one else can know just
what ought 10 be done with the Philip
pine islands, teyond this-that we ought
instantly rs possible to compel the with
drawal OF their sovereignty from spain
and we ought ourselves to assume Its
obligations and prudently TO discharge
them until we have had full opportunity
in our own councils to determine their
best disposition. This Is all that the
treaty of Paris proposes or imposes 1t Is
all that the administration has at any
time suggested. Your army, your navy
and your flag are at Manila. You can add
to their dangers If you will. But their
duty ahides and the will OF the nation
must be done.

The Hubbard Gift.

Alderman Kent, who had been appointed
to prepare suitable resolutions on the mu-
nifcent gift made to the city by the late
John e. Hubbard, reported to the city
council Tuesday evening. The resolutions
were unanimously adopted, and the city
clerk ordered to record them and to send
certified copies to the relatives of Mr. Hub
bard. The report and resolutions follow:
1.-THE late John Erastus Hubbard, having
in his last will made disposition OF large
amounts of his property in a manner admir-
ably adapted to promote the health, in
struction and enjoyment of the people OF
Montpelier and TO add to the attractions
and welfare of the city, 1t is fit that this
representative body should place upon its
records some suitable recognition of these
acts of Mr. Hubbard"
THEREFORE,, Be it resolved by the city
council of the city OF Montpelier, Vt:
1--WE therefore declare our high and CRATE
full estimation of his public spirit, enlight-

fragrant SIN.

Under the caption "Wanted to Buy
Beer" the ArguS OF Tuesday evening told
in a brief column story how Rev. G. w.
Morrow, president of the State Auti-S ,loon
League, had, last Saturday, ordered bottle
of beer sent to his room at the Pavilion and
been "called down" for 30 doing by the
clerk at the hotel
This story was decidedly interesting, il
true, but the clerk and manager OF the Pa
vilion deny that there was the slightest
grounds for such report Mr.. Morrow
dined at the Pavilion last Saturday as the
guest OF States Attorney Hoar. He was
not registered, had no room, and had no
conversation with the clerks, management
or proprietor.
Possibly this was ano'he case OF "A misun.
derstanding between the reporter and "the
man who prepared the copy for the print
ers."

Artillery Against Lightning.

The summer of 1899 will be historical
in Italy for it's tale of victims to light
ming stroke. The unusually violent
thunderstorms that have succeeded
each other at short intervals, especial
ly i'm the Alta Italia, have caused more
deaths than in any two years during the
last 30. The storm-cloud from which
the electric fluid is let loose is almost
invariably charged with hailstones, and
it is now being seriously questioned
whether the bombardment of such
clouds, hitherto successful in protect
ing vineyards and olive plantations,
might not also lessen the danger from
lightning stroke. a Congresso per gil
Spari contro la Grandine congress for
dispensing hailstones by artillery is
shortly to meet at Casale Monferrato,
and large number of medical men, en-
gineers, agriculturists and meteorolo-
gists have announced their intention to
read papers and take part in the dis
cussions, among which the question
above indicated is down for considera-
tion.-London Lancet.

FOR THE HOUSEKEEPER.
Some Points Which May he of Value
to the Young House,
wife,

A novel way to make sandwiches Is
to use horse-radish grated while fresh,
instead of mustard. Spread in thin
layer upon each buttered slice, and the
result will be found an appetizing sur
prise.
Poultry and meat, on being served
cold, may be improved in appearance
by glazing. The process is simple. An
excellent glaze may be found by dis
solving half ounce Of gelatine in a
pint of water, favoring and coloring
it with extract of beef. To be perfectly
successful, the meat must be cold be-
fore the glaze is put on, and the first
coat should be allowed to dry before the
second is put on. The glaze must be
warm and applied with brush.
An oilskin bag for towels, etc, and a
long wrap of Turkish toweling or fan
mel, with lose sleeves and a hood like
monks cowl to cover one in the neces-
sary transit from bathhouse to the
water, will be found useful accompani-
ments when bathing from the beach.
A new soda water drink, called "Choc-
olate Friday" is making its way north,
south, east and west from Washing
ton, where it originated. 1t consists
of a large spoonful of ice cream with a
generous supply of thick chocolate
sirup poured over the top.
A bowl OF hot milk taken Immediately
before retiring is said by those who
have suffered from insomnia to be a
better soporific than any opiate known
to medical science.-N. Y. Tribune.

Commissioners, in a Long Telegram to
Mckinley, Confirm Otis Advices.
President Mckinley received a long tel
egram from the Philippine commissioners
Tuesday confirming the encouraging ad-
vices telegraphed by Gen. Otis and an
nouncng that they had taken advantage
of the favorable opportunity to issue a
proclamation to the people. They stated
that in their opinion the rebellion was
practically over. The troops will hold
positions already captured and scouting
parties will be sent out to look after the
scattered bands of insurgents that have
fed in different directions.
The commission reports that the people
are coming back to their homes and that
the local governments are being reorgan-
lied. They state that most of the local
governments We're forced into the rebel
lion by Aguinaldo, who, while the treaty
of peace was being negotiated with Spain,
sent detachments of from fifty to 200 of
his adherents from Luzon to each Of the
other provinces ''to seize the governments
as robbers hold up trains" This is new
piece of information.

Boston road, which lay white and straight
in the moonlight, she saw three horsemen

As they drew nearer she heard the words:

They Numbered out this message again

The girl stood as if petrifed "Up and

might be that no one else in the house

She stood at the head of the narrow
stairway, fair picture of girlish enthu-
siasm. Her ringing voice had aroused the

entry. Two stalwart young men, half
| dressed, came out and hurried down to
seize their muskets. Bullets were hastily
gathered together. Warm garments were
handed out. Hot drinks and food were
prepared. Few words were spoken. Sud
denly they heard the church bells of Lex
