permanent dominion, he said, he would not
vote for it. But he had not been able to
find any half way resting place between
accepting the cession and abandoning the
islands to their fate and this was not per-
missable The president. kind and gen.
erous as he is, would not have to make a
treaty leaving the Philippine archipelago
to the lust, the savagery and the brutality
of Spanish rule. To have attempted this
course would have been to inaugurate
rule of anarchy with all its horrors and
while war was cruel and bitter, anarchy
was hell let loose on EARTH
In conclusion. Mr.. spooner said that the
ratification of the treaty and the acceptance
by this country of the cession from Spain
was not declaration of principles He
declared that the Bacon resolution and 9TH
er pending resolutions on this subject were
rich with mischief and ought not to be
adopted. 1t was the business of congress
to legislate and to follow the lines marked
by the constitution and the will of the
people.

At the conclusion of Mr.. Spooner's argu-
ment, Mr.. Tillnan explained why he had
interrupted the Wisconsin senator. He de-
sired TO incorporate with Mr.. Spooner S
speech some statements with respect to
Aguinaldo made in report by Major j. f.
Bell, of the engineer corps of the army.
Mr.. Spooner gave his assent to the inser-
ton of the statements at the proper place
in his speech.
Mr.. Tillman, however, insisted upon read
ing them. He declared that Aguinaldo had
a well armed force of 10000 men and would
resist every attempt to re-establsh colon
ial government in the islands.
Interrupting Mr.. Tillman, Mr.. Hoar in
quired: Does not Aguinaldo hold in peace
and order more than fifty times as much
territory in the Philippines as the United
States?"
Mr.. Tillman replied that Aguinaldo held
all of the Philippines except small portion
of the island of Luzon around Manila. In
conclusion Mr.. Tillman said that the rat
ification of the treaty could only inject into
this country another race question which
would certainly breed war and bloodshed.
AT 3:35 p. M. on motion of Mr.. Davis,
the senate went into executive session and

One Of the most curious instances of the struggle between art and pro- Erie,y is shown in St. Peters.

It was the superl,ly scnlp- turcd form of beautiful wonan, the head, hanGs, neck, ankles and feet sep arate mastery orks of art.

Then the pope call workman and he say--put on the clothes on the figure. The workman not an artist, only workman. lIc put on the tin petticoat

 As to the ordinary loss of memory produced by advancing years, it is strange how proper names arc always the first to go; even those of our inti- rate friends often tcmpoi arily vanish which, when we are about to intro Guce them to strangers, is father em- barrassiEg. Next to them, to judge irommy own experience, synonyms. This is inconveniCnt in literary com position, and neccssitates the frequent use of the "Thcsaurus,' writes James Payn in the Illustrated London News. What is very unfortunate. this only makes matters worse, for there is uoth ing more certain than that the constant use of helrs to memory causes its de struction. By constantly referring 10 Il ready rccioncr" persons have been known to have destroyed all power of calculation.

Hrandram's ease, old age is TO bar to the most per feet recollection. Indeed, it is probable, as Sydney Smith observes. that the decay Of memory in old Ren probably proceeds as frequently from the very little interest they take in what is passing around them as from any mental decay. Sir Benjamin Erodie held the same opinion: "The old man is not stimulated ty ambition ns when he felt that he had many years of fife before him. He has probably with drawn from his former pursuits, and has substituted no others for them, and we know that the mind, as well as the body. requires constant exercise to keep if in n healthy stnten

 There are more siu,r lc ways than one to win at D game of poker, without openly cheating, as is evidenced by a couple of young men who belonged to a poker club recently broken tip and who played tho game to win. They had various schemes, the first being as fol- lows: They would go irto game with plenty of money, begged or borrowed if necessary; they would play in every good-sizcd stake and let the small ones alone; they would begin to bet, each raising the other and their companions Ut the table, irrespective of the size of hands; whether the others held enor. h,ous hands or not they were bound to go out in time, and then the partners would divide the spells, in this way managing to turn many an honest---or dishonest--penny, as the opinion may be. The second game was not so fair, says the Syracuse Post. The two con srirators sat next to one ano' her. They would look into one anothers hand, and the lowest man would drop out at the appropriate time. Then he would take every occasion to look into the others hands. If they were higher than his companions he would nuuge the companion and the latter would drop out; otherwise he would re- lnuin with the certainty of winning the money. The two rognes had nu- merousotherways of beating the game, but these were the plain, unvarnlshed foundations for many a case of high way robbery on their part.

TsO Hundred Thousahd Doilars to Law
 yers in m Indian Case.
 The old settler Cherokee Indians are soon to receive in payment from the government ss0O, ,0O0 The roll is about completed in the department, showing that HOO Indians are entitled to share in the money. but, as it is to be paid out by estates and not per capita, there is . wide range of difference in the amounts to be received. In some in- stances individuals will receive only l4 cents, and in other cases an individual will receive over sl,500.
 The money to be paid the old settlers says the st. Louis Democrat, comes from interest on old accounts due them from the government. They date back to 1895, when a treaty was made with the Cherokees, and this fund, according to the terms of that treaty. is to bo paid to a certain num- Der of families who moved into that country prior to that time. This is how it happens that the money appears to be so unevenly divided. Iu some in- stances but few members of family are living, while in other cases many descendants are living. The depart ment has had considerable trouble in perfecting the roll, as a few of those entitled to share this money now live in California. Nearly all live in the Cher okec nation. With those in the nation it has been difficult matter to deter mine in many instances whether or not an individual is entitled to share the money. Tho work of pcrfecting the rolls has delayed payment for more than year.
 While the Indians receive only s6o0,- 900, the entire claim is sS00,000. The s200,000 is taken up by attorneys fees, which are paid direct to the attorneys. Over 92 years ago the Indians interest cd in this claim executed q contract with w. J. Bryant, of Tuhlcquah, giv. ing him 25 per cent of all the money he could get out of the combination of claims. He commenced work on the matter and is nov IS years old and very feeble, but he is expected to make another trip here to get his S2o0,000 and divide it with attorneys he has em- ployed in the case. It is understood that he has given contracts to attor- neys and officials covering about s150,- 900, thus leaving him but S50,0O0. But tlis division was thought by him neces- sary to bring about final settlement, and, as estimated, it never would have been paid had he not been able to deal out some money where it would have the effect of securing action.
 In addition to this S!J0, ,000 given over to attorneys and fer other purposes, sl0,000 is taken out of the fund fer ex- Congressman Heard, of Missouri, by an net of congress. Mir. Heard was en- ploycd in the case some time before he was elected to congress, and did the work that entitled him to the fee of sl0,0o0. The payment of his fee was recommended by the present officials in the department, and Mir Heard con- cludcd that it would be just as safe to have congress set apart his fec as it would to leave the matter in the hands of the department officials. Accord ingly he had an act passed covering the matter and making sure his fee.
