Club in an Enjoyable Manner.
The Bon Ami club was entertained
in very novel but wholly enjoyable
manner Thursday evening By
Miss Lena Timme at her beau
tiful home on Ashland avenue. When
the young gentlemen arrived they
were introduced to condition they had
never been conf onted with before. In
a few minutes they were handed a
basket in which were large number of
packages containing dolls cloUn, scissors,
needle and thread and the men were
forced to proceed to dress the dolls in
the presence of the young ladies.
Of course the efforts of the men were
exceedingly funny and their success
was varied.
DR.. Lansdowne showed that he had
the skill of a practised modiste and
easily carried off the prize offered by
the hostess to the young gentleman who
showed the greatest skill as dress
maker. DR.. Kaltenbach's fingers were
all thumbs and he was utterly unable
to complete a garment and he was
given the BOBBY prize.
Notwithstanding the fact that DR..
Lansdowne won the first prize many of
the other gentlemen showed exceptional
skill as dressmakers.
The young gentlemen who entered
the contest we're Charles Ernst, Siegel
Conley, Joe Gaffney, DR.. Kaltenbach,
DR.. Lansdowne, John Hegeman, Frank
Sullivan and Burr Beachel. After the
contest in sewing was over Miss Timme
served a very tempting luncheon and
several pleasant hours were spent in

An exchange says that the grip bacil-
lus has recently been discovered or
isolated by DR.. Pfeiffer, and his conclu-
sions have been ratified by many emf
nent authorities. The disease is not
contagious in the ordinary sense of the
word, but is fictitious, the germ gaining
growth in the system and spreading
into an epidemic under certain at pres
ent unknown atmospheric conditions.
It is without doubt the most fatal and
widespread epidemic disease with
which the human family has to contend.

:. MADRID, Jan. II.-GeneraI
Rios, the Spanish commander,
has reiterated the assertion that
the situation of affairs in the Phil
ippine Islands is most grave. The
rebels, it appears, are concentrat-
ing in the neighborhood OF Man
liza, with the intention of attack
ing that place. Great prepare
tions are being made for the de-
Tense of the city.
The Spanish general also as
serts that the natives of the Wis
cayas have again refused to per-
NIT the Americans to land,
threatening to resist by force if
an attempt is made to do so. The
Americans, therefore, according
to General Rios, have abandoned
the idea of disembarking, and he
confirms the previous statement
to the effect that they are unwill-
ing to lombard Iloilo because
the European houses are stocked
with petroleum with the view OF
being set alight by the American
shells"
r. General Rios alleges that the
. rebels are determined to fight
Americans before reinforcements
p arrive from the United States. In
conclusion General Rios says
AgIlnaldo's proclamation has
produced immense enthusiasm
among the rebels"

PHILIPPINES WILL NOT
BE HELD PERMANENTLY

WASHINGTON. Jan. ia climax
was reached to-day in the debate on
the question Of expansion which is IN
progress In the Senate. Heretofore all
Of the speeches, with the notable excep-
ton Of that of Plat of Connecticut,
have been in opposition to what is pre-
sumed to be the policy Of the admins
tration with respect to the acquisition
Of the Philippines. To-day Foraker of
Ohio addressed the Senate in opposition
10 the declaration of the Vest resolu-
ton that the United States has no con-
stitutional power to acquire foreign ter
ritory to be maintained as colonies
While much Of his speech was devoted
to- q constitutional argument in sup
port Of the right of this country as
nation to acquire and govern outlying
: territory, he gave particular attention
10 the utterances that have been made
IN contravention Of that position, es-
peciaIly those of Vest and Hoar. For
a5Ier has a clear, direct and forceful
style of oratory which commands at
tention, not only by reason Of the recog-
ntzed ability Of the man. but also by
his impetuosity and power as a speaker.
He Is at his best in a running-fire de-
. bate, and the frequency of Interruptions
to-day afforded him ample opportunity
10; elucidate his argument to the best
.. advantage. He laid down the broad
proposition that to adopt the Vest reso-
lutiOn was to declare that our fathers
had brought forth a nation that was
Inferior to all other nations, regardless
OF the generally accepted idea that one
nation was the equal Of another and ALI
equally restricted. He maintained that
. the right to acquire territory was an
inherent right of nationality and that
s:we have the right to make war and
. to enter into treaty agreements, It fol-
- lows logically that we have the power
to acquire territory by conquest and to
. assume the responsibilities that may
accrue therefrom.
'Foraker's strong assertion that the
acquisition Of the Philippines was tenn
.porary in character created a sensation
in. the chamber. He maintained, how
ever. that we have a legal right to hold
the islands permanently.
Prior TO the speech by Foraker a
sharp debate was precipitated by Allen

Conflict Between Ma

advices by the steamship Empress of
Japan. which arrived here from the
Orient to-day, tell of desperate fight
which occurred in the middle of De-
cember between Russian marines, sixty
in number. and large squad Of Japan
csc marines belonging to the torpedo
department.
The Russians had landed at Fuchi
Inasa, Nagasak, and after military eX-
ercises adjourned in a body to a mill
tary inn, where they drank freely. After
several hours spent ashore in this man
ner the officer in command gave an
order to return to the ship, saying at
the same time if any - Japanese got
in the way to cut them down.
Unfortunately squad of very or
derby Japanese marines were just en-
tering the city by the main road, which
the Russians were taking to leave. The
thoroughfare being narrow they eau
tiously formed in single file and were
about to pass quietly by the Russians,
when the captain Of the latter, with a
curse, ordered them to turn back.
The little brownies refused the re-
quest of the Cars bluejackets, and a
small lieutenant boldly strobe up to
the Russian captain and slapped him in
the race, at the same time calling upon
him for an apology. A desperate hand
to-hand fight ensued, in which about
twenty men on both sides were badly
cut and bruised. The Japs, although
outnumbered two to one, held the Rus
slams in check until reinforcements ar
rived from the city in the shape of stu
dents from the gymnasium. With poles
and clubs the Russians were belabored
until they screamed for mercy. They
fed back to the city and demanded pro-
lection at the Japanese barracks, which
was grudgingly granted them. Public
feeling is very strong against the Rus
slams and an investigation Is demanded.
