One Goes to Manila to Confer WitE
Aguiraldo.
NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-A dispatch from
Manila says: There is no illness on the
transports at Iloilo. The Fifty-first Iowa
regiment is returning to Manila on the
Pennsylvania and will arrive tomorrow.
The Eighteenth regulars and Sixth artil
lery remain at Iloilo.
A native committee from there comes
on the transport to confer with Aguin-
aldo.
Influential natives wish the Ameri-
cans to land. The rabble army are kick
ing and want to loot the town. They
have already burned several villages
near Iloilo. The lowest classes in the
islands of Cebu and Negros are reported
to be attacking the land proprietors and
looting estates. Manila is quiet. The
general health of the troops is good.
The island of Mindanao is overrun by
Moros. The Spaniards are concentrated
at Zamboanga.

Now Thought Likely Canadian and Amer
lean Commissioners VIII Agree.
NEW YORK, Jan. 31.-A special from
Washington says:
Prospects for an agreement between
the British and American joint high
commissioners on questions affecting
Canada and the United States have
greatly improved within the last week,
and it is now expected that complete
agreement on all points will be reached
early in February.
Reciprocity has been the stumbling
block in the way of the commission.
The principal point Of friction was in
regard to the duty on lumber imposed
under the Dingley law. Canadians de-
manded concessions ON this, that the
American commissioners Were not at
first willing to make. The question has
not yet been settled, but it is now under
stood that both sides are more concilia
tory, and anxious that the entire nego-
tiations should not fail on account of one
point of disagreement

FIVE TRIBES TREATIES.
All But One Have Been Submitted to tn

All But One Have Been Submitted to the
Senate for Ratification.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3O.-The agree
ment concluded at Muskogee, |. T., on
Jan. IA. between the Dawes commission
and commission from the Cherokee
Indian nation, providing for allotments
of land and other questions and intro
duction of the Indians into United States
citizenship, has been sent to the senate.
Agreements with three tribes already
have been put into effect, the Seminoles,
Choctaws and Chickasaws. The Chero-
kee agreement makes the fourth sub
mitted for ratification, and the only one
of the Five Nations now remaining to
treat with the commission is the Creeks,
with which negotiations have been re-
sumed. The Creeks commission once
concluded an agreement, but the people
rejected it some weeks ago by a majority
of 1872 votes. Their chief objection, it
is said, was to the provision for selling
publicly, the proceeds to go to the Indi-
ans, all surplus land over $50 acres
allotted each Indian. The Indians want
all the lands allotted and none sold, and
this point is likely to be conceded, in
which case the negotiations with all the
famous five Indian nations will probably
be speedily and gratifyingly completed.

BUSY WITH COMBINES.
Joseph Letter Devoting His Attention
Wholly to Trusts.

Wholly to Trusts.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 31.-Joseph Letter,
the Chicago speculator, in an interview
here concerning the recent rise in
wheat, is quoted as saying:
Il am not paying any attention to
wheat now. l hove dropped that and
am giving my whole attention to the
business of forming combinations.
However, it is no trouble to account for
the rise in wheat. The demand is sim
ply greater than the supply"
Speaking of his work in forming vari-
Gus combinations, etc., Mr.. Letter said.
My last completed work was the or
ganization of the international Air
Power company. That is a company
which makes apparatus by which COM
pressed air is motive power. The com
pany is large one, and is already doing
business in New York
Letter declared that the trusts do not
raise prices, but keep them down.
When one OF these very large com
panies get possession of the field it is
good business policy to keep prices
down to point where no competitor
can reach, said Mr.. Letter.

the City of Colon.
Colon, Colombia, Jan. 81. The strike
conditions do not improve. A special
train from Panama brought reinforce
ments and the whole city has been I'M

uneasy feeling prevails everywhere, fol
though quiet has been restored, fears
are entertained on all sides that the
striking dockmen and railway en-
ployes are only awaiting an opportunity
to fire the city.
A proclamation has been issued for
bidding the assembling together in pub

SENATOR FRYE EXPLAINS.

Proceedings.

Tells the Sepssre of the Commission'a
Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 80. The senate
continued the consideration Of the
peace treaty il executive session during
the day, the doors being closed for al
most three hours.
Senator Frye, q member Of the Paris
peace commission and naturally a
strong friend of the treaty, held the;at-
tention of the senate during the greater
part of this time. .Constructively he
occupied the floor during the entire SEES
sion. but he was frequently interrupted
by other senators. Most of these inter
ruptions came in the way of questions,
but some of them took the form of
speeches. This was notably the case
with Senator Berry's interruptions. He
spoke for some time and in doing SO de-
nounced the treaty in severe terms.
Senators Mason and Gallery asked many
questions.
81, Regarding the Philippines.
Mr.. Frye devoted the greater part of
his speech to an explanation why the
Philippine archipelago was included in
the cession to the United States. He
was asked the question why these ISL
ands were not placed in the same class
as Cuba, the sovereignty over this isl
and being merely relinquished, while in
the case of the Philippines it had been
made over to the United States, and re-
piled that because in the case OF Cuba
the commission was acting upon in
structions from congress. One senator
reminded him of the representations of
Aguinaldo's American agent, Agoncillo,
and asked if he meant to force the Fill
Pine people to actual hostilities, to
which Mr.. Frye retorted that it was the
opposition that was forcing continu-
ance of the state Of war and which
would be responsible for hostilities #
they should occur.

DENVER, Jan. 31.-A special to The
News from Cripple Creek, Col, says Of
the recent strikein Isabella ground:
Your correspondent saw chunks OF
sylvanite that were three inches thick
and solid metal, and the chunks of the
oxydized ore of the same width that he

assays have been made on the rock, but
pieces of the free gold ore, if ore it can
be called at all, run over $500, 900 per
ton. The Mollie Gibson never produced
any ore that carried more ounces in sill
yer per ton than this Isabella ore does in
gold. With every hours work, the
streak is lengthening and widening.
Joining this metallic body there is six
feet of quartz that will run from 81 900
to $4,000 per ton.

believe that its like was ever found in
the world. No assays have been taken
on the rock, but ton of it could be
picked out that would run anywhere
from $50, 900 to $200,00 per ton. Armed
guards are watching the property. The
strike was made in the new ore body at
depth of $50 feet below the surface.
The chute has been cut at the seventh
level 200 feet above, and also at the fifth.
At the latter place an assay was OBJ
tanned in the breast of the drift, in two
feet of ore that went better than $1,000
per ton. There is at least, blocked out
in the one level, between the ninth and
seventh level, $4,000, 900 worth of ore. !"

Avalanche.
DENVER, Jan. 3l-The snow storm
which has been raging on the noun
tains since early last week has subsidized.
The sun has broken through the clouds
and the wind has abated. In some
places the fall of snow has been the
heaviest in IS years. In and about
Leadville great damage is reported. In
some of the small towns coal famines
are imminent. Information from Ko-
komo is to the effect that great masses
of hard packed snow overhang the
town, threatening it with serious dam
age should it give way. Kokomo was
carried away by an avalanche in the
early SOS and the residents are fearful
lest this should be repeated now. The
South Park road has been tied up be-
tween Como and Leadville.
Provision Train showed In.
Several days ago an attempt was
made to run train with provisions
westward through the snow. The train
stuck near Dickey, where it has re-
manned ever since A snowslide near
Haggerman tunnel on the Colorado Mid
land has blocked that road west of Lead
vile, and trains to Glenwood have gone
over the Denver and Rio Grande tracks.
No casualties are reported except from
Apex, where three persons Were killed.
In the cuts between Como and Lead
vile snow has drifted to depth of
from 80 to 40 feet The only road run
ming west from Leadyille which is clear
is the Denver and Rio Grande, which
has felt little of the effects of the storm

HAVE AGREED
Conference Of Wisconsin sena
torial Candidates Held at
Milwaukee
AT Which Quarles Is Selected
as the Republican Caucus
Nominee.
Result Brought About by the
Failure of Other Candidates
to Agree.
Election Probably Will Occur on
the Next Legislative Joint
Ballot.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-The Milwau.
kee Journal says it can be positively
stated that Joseph V. Quarles will be
the next United States senator from
Wisconsin, succeeding John L. Mitchell,
whose term expires March A.
The nomination will probably be
made by reclamation at Madison soon
after the Republican caucus reconvenes.
This development is the result of a
conference of party leaders which has
been held in Milwaukee, and the an,
nouncement that Quarles will be the
next senator from Wisconsin is made
authoritatively.
1t was the most important conference
of leaders of the party held in the state
in long time, and the decision to NOM
mate Quarles was the logical outcome
of the inability of the other candidates
to agree among themselves.
Payne Approves 1t.
At the conference We're representa-
tives of all the senatorial candidates, be-
sides some leading Republicans of the
state, including Henry G. Payne, ma
tional Republican committeeman.
Speaking of the result of the confer
ence, Mr.. Payne said:
'.The withdrawal of the other candi.
dates and the nomination of Mr.. Quarles
by the united caucus is the best thing
that could happen for the Republican
party in the state. 1t was the Inevitable
result of the contest and it is good
thing to have it come now. The nomi-
nation has been hotly contested, but
there has been no bitterness or ill-feeling
generated by it, though if the contest had
been prolonged indefinitely there might
have been. The other candidates have
done their best in a legitimate way to
win the nomination and that they have
failed is no fault of theirs. / believe
the nomination of Mr.. Quarles will give
satisfaction among the Republicans
throughout the state"

Pain

Friend lis worth its weight m gold as an allevi

four bottles of Mothers Friend It is blessing

a customer.
Thus writes Henderson Dale, Druggist,
of Car1ni, Ill, to the Bradfeld Regulator
Company, of Atlanta, Ca, the proprie.
tors and manufacturers of Mothers
Friend.p This successful remedy is not
one of the many internal medicines adj
vertised to do unreasonable things, but a
scientifically prepared liniment especially
effective in adding strength and elasticity
to those parts of woman s organism which
bear the severest strains of childbirth.
The liniment may be used at any and
all times during pregnancy up to the
very hour Of confinement. The earlier it
is begun, and the longer used, the more
perfect will be the result, but it has been
used during the last month only with
great benefit and success.
It not only shortens labor and lessons
the pain attending it, but greatly dimin-
ishes the danger to life of both mother
and child, and leaves the mother in con-
dition more favorable to speedy recovery.
