FRIDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1899.
The Death of President Faure.

The death, from a stroke of apoplexy,
of NJ Felix Faure, President of the French
Republic. at 10 o'clock last night, amounts
TO an event of the greatest international
gravity. What its immediate or ultimate
effects may be upon French or European
politics it would be impossible to predict
this morning. But it is easily understood
that anything more ominous could hardly
have happened at this particular tuncture.
The dead Chief of State will not be pre-
pared for sepulture before all the vials of
ambition and wrath, of which Paris is full
will be poured upon revolutionary situa
tion already almost at the point of igni
tion. The confusion OF counsel and the
conflict of interest among dozen selfish
espirants for the departed statesman's
shoes, which will now be in evidence may
result in nobody knows what today, to-
morrow. or at any minute. Political con-
ditions in France are beyond reliable
analysis. All that seems certain is that
they have pointed for weeks 10 a coup
d'etat OF some sort, 10 end in a military
dictatorship, reign of anarchy, or another
Bonapartist Empire. If the dynastic plot
of Prince Victor has anything like the sup
port some observers have credited it with,
this may be the time for his adherents to
strike. The Napoleonic name and tradi-
tion are useful things TO conjure with in
an emergency like the present, and without
some such means Of appeal to popular
fancy or frenzy it is improbable that any
single leader of the day would be strong
enough to make himself master of the
country But the army cabal might readily
ride to power on the back of the Bonapart-
ist pretender.
We may safely count upon the military
element dominating France 10 seize the op-
portunity offered by Faure's death. There
may be short struggle against fate on
the part of sincere advocates of popular
government, but they do not appear TO be
in a majority. and one would have to be
extremely optimistic to believe that the
end of the French Republic is not close
at hand And with the downfall of the
Republic would come an era of militarism
unrestrained, which could not fail 10 men
ace the peace Of the world
The times., 1899-02-17

II is not apparent how the policy OF ex-
pansion is to be made an issue in the next
national campaign. The actual situation
seems TO forbid it, If there is a possible
question of immediate concern that can di-
vide the people The ratification of the
Treaty OF Peace by the Senate after SINH
lar action by the Spanish COrtes will per
feet the title Of this nation 10 the Phil
iIpines. The archipelago will then be
ours exactly as it belonged to Spain-ours
to annex in any manner we may decide,
ours to abandon, ours 10 sell.
II it should be the desire and intention
OF the people to follow the plan advocated
by the Senate minority and a few recent
Democratic leaders-to confer independence
on the inhabitants after establishing a sta
Bile government. II must be clear TO every
mind that there are several things TO be
done first. The sovereignty Of this Gov
ernment-the right OF the Americans TO es-
tablish government-must be recognized
by the Filipinos before the natives can be
enlisted In the work OF administration.
This means that the followers of Aguinaldo
must be induced to lay down their arms,
llObdDl- W bBnAAuE- ~ VIII Dt ItNGliti
that the President issued and promulgated
a proclamation in which he told the Fill
ipinos that we came as friends and not as
conquerors, bearing in our hands the bless
ings of human liberty. In spite of this,
they turned their guns on our soldiers,
conspired to assassinate our military lead
ers. and insisted on our instant and uncon-
ditional withdrawal from the islands Ev-
identity, then. they must be whipped into
submission, If they are not already, since
they refuse the most generous proposition
ever made to peoples by any power. Their
refusal is the more abominable because we
had given proof of our kind disposition by
interposing TO free the Cubans from the
Spanish yoke.
Then, they must be fitted for self-govern-
ment. IL is not enough that few Filipi-
nos have had the advantages of an Amer
lean or European education and that a
few others are men of unusual intellectual
nitainments. II iH not enough that Aguin-
aldo is-if Senator Hale is not a too par.

THE ARMY BILL REPORTED.
Mr. COckrcII's Measure sIny BE Ac-
ceptcd as IL Compromises

Senator Hawley. Chairman OF the Senata
Military Committee made a report in the
Senate yesterday on the Hull army bill.
stating that owing to division in the COM
mittee the bill was reported without rec
ommendation. He called attention TO the
necessity of immediate action in this mat
ter, and urged that the Senate take it up
for consideration at an early date.
The Treaty ratification proclamation
&C lid be issued by the President, probably
as early as March 10, as it is believed
Spain will ratify the Treaty as early as
the 10Th of this month, and such proclama-
tIon by the President would release the
volunteer soldiers and the temporary force
of the regular army.
Mr.. Cockrell, also a member of the
Military Committee reported his own bill,
which provides for the filling up of the
skeleton regiments of the regular army.
which would give a force of g., 900 men.
and the raising of native armies in Cuba
Porto Rico, and. when practicable. in the
| Philippines, to the number of 81, ,0OD men.
Mr.. Cockrel said there was not time
enough at this session to effect a perma-
nent reorganization of the regular army
and the Hull bill could not be passed
Mr.. Hawley said he should ask consid-
Grafton OF the Hull bill today
1t is stated by Republican leaders
that if it become apparent that the Hull
bill cannot be passed the Cockrell bill will
be agreed 10 and the necessity of an extra
session avoided so far as legislation upon
the question of the reorganization of the
army is concerned.

HEPBURN's CANAL BILL.
Another Effort Made to Add IL to the
Sundry Civil

There is still slight hope for the Mica
ragua Canal. At the eleventh hour yes
terday Mr.. Hepburn moved that the sundry
civil bill be recommitted, with instructions
to report with what was substantially the
canal bill as an amendment. On that ques-
ton he demanded the yeas and nays.
On the motion to lay on the table. made
by Mr.. Payne of New York, there were
SO yeas, 60 nays. voting present. and one
voted present by the Speaker In all there
were 172, five less than quorum
A call of the House was ordered, but in
view of the lateness of the hour it was
agreed to adjourn, with the understanding
that the vote should be the first business
this morning.
The vote was largely party one. the
Republicans generally voting in the affirm
ative and the Democrats voting in the neg

bills If objected to.
A number of other Republicans addressed
the House. after which Mr.. Williams rose
to close the debate for his side. He argued
that a treaty was dual in its nature. II
was both national and international. Az
an international act it did not become
binding until ratified by the other power.
AS national act. il became binding on this
country when ratified by the Senate. and
was existing law as far as the United
States was concerned.
Mr. Cannon closed the debate briefly on
his side. and the Chair put the question:
Shall the decision of the Chair be the
judgment of the committee" On viva
vCce vote the Chair declared itself in
doubt. On standing vote the committee
stood 149 to 56 in favor of sustaining the
Chair and striking out the paragraph.
Mr.. Cannon then asked unanimous con-
sent that the paragraph be accepted an
amendment, despite the point of order. He
hoped that the opposition realizing the ul
innate hopelessness of their case. would
content themselves with their immediate
triumph and permit the amendment to go
through. Mr. Wheeler. however, objected.
Mr.. Crumpacker of Indiana then offered
the same amendment in slightly different
words, making the appropriation one to
close the war, instead of one to carry out
the obligations of the Spanish Treaty. Mr..
Wheeler again made a point of order, and
after considerable debate the Chair again
sustained the point
Mr.. Morris of Minnesota then offered still
another amendment in different language,
which was again stricken out, after objec-
tion by Mr.. Wheeler. The reading of the
bill was proceeded with.

New York. Feb. 16.-In the opinion OF
those responsible for the conduct of the
inquest into the death of Mrs. Katherine
S. Adams, the testimony given today was
in many respects the most important thus
far obtained. At least three witnesses con-
tradicted Henry s. Cornish in matters Of
some moment touching what occurred in
Mrs. Adams fiat the day she was killed.
Part of this testimony was given by Dep
uty Coroner Albert T. Weston, part by
DR.. Potter one of the physicians who at
tended Mrs. Adams, and part by District
Attorney Mcintyre, an acquaintance OF
Cornish and at one time the private counsel
ans. Mr. Osborne intimated that the dis
trict attorneys Office had an idea that
there may have been two bottles, one of
poisoned bromo-seltzer and another con-
tanning only the genuine article, in the
Adams apartment on the morning Mrs.
Adams died. 1t was testified in so many
words that only a very little. half tea
spoonful. perhaps, of the contents of the
poisoned bottle had disappeared when the
doctors came. although Cornish says he
gave heaping teaspoonful TO Mrs, Adams.
