Senator Vest is beginning to again
exhibit his old time interest in affairs
over in the senate wing. The senator
looks incomparably better than he
did last year. His appearance and
walk even show an improvement OF
health since the opening of the SEES
sion. But his cronies insist that the
surest sign OF returning health dis
played by Senator Vest is that he is
again making the frequenters of the
marble room roar with his Flashing
Wit and humor. Yesterday afternoon
he kept Senators Berry and Clinton
in constant laughter for nearly an
hour by RECALLING them with a new
stock OF jokes.
When Vest is sick he has no more
humor than an Indian" said an old
friend who has been with him a good
deal of late "Now that he has re
sumed his wonted custom of spinning
yarns in that inimitable way OF his
l know that he is safe on the road to
recovery"

Washington, Dec. 21.-The Nation
al Democratic convention will be held
either June &c or July 3. The first
date will be Just week after the re-
publican convention at Philadelphia
and for that reason many of the
democratic leaders suggested that
their own convention had better be
postponed till July 3, for by that
time the people will have thoroughly
discussed the republican platform and
nominees.

FOREIGNERS JOINING BOERS.
Trained Russians, French and German
Military Men Going to the

London, Dec. 21.-The best indica-
tion of the feeling in favor of the
beers which exists throughout Europe
is shown in the fact that trained mil
itary men-French, Russians, Ger
mans and Hollanders-are pouring
into the Transvaal by this route and
will probably be heard from later at
the front.
Large supplies OF ammunition are
reaching the Beers by this route also.
Several London newspapers are ask
ing the government to call the atten-
ton of Portugal to this alleged
breach of neutrality
1t is known here that the Empsrors
of Germany and Russia are aware
that many of the best officers OF the
grades of colonel, major and captains
who have recently obtained long
leaves of absence, have gone TO help
the Beers. The rulers have not put
straw in the way of these officers.

the bills died either in the commit

So thoroughly convinced was he
that the good of the people demand

ed by law for its determination.
The grounds upon which the
contest is based consist of the protest
against the use of the tissue ballots
in many of the overwhelming republi-
can counties OF the state. The Use OF
this ballot is not only in direct viola
ton of the letter of the law, but
is in utter and open defiance of the
spirit OF the law and the Use of these
ballots furnishes not only prima facie
but conclusive evidence OF proposed

Senator Vest Exhibits Old Time Inter.
est in Senate Affairs.

Washington, d. C., Dec. 2O.-Rep-
resentative DeArmond's Joint resolu-
ton declaring the purpose of the
United States concerning the Philip
pines more nearly represents the dem
Ocratic sentiment in both houses than
anything that has yet been present
ed.
When congress after the holidays
takes up the question of the island
possessions the storm of debate will
rage fercest around the declarations
set forth by Mr. DeArmond.
While not caucus measure, yet it
fully and plainly sets forth the demo-
cratic view. This is the resolution:
Resolved, first, That in the words
OF the declaration of Independence
we hold these truths to be self-evident
that all men are created equal and
| that they are endowed by their crea-
tor with certain inalienable rights:
that among these are life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness; that to Sc
cure these rights governments are
instituted among men, deriving their
just powers from the consent of the
governed; that whenever any form OF
government becomes destructive Oh
these ends it is the right of the people
| to alter or abolish it and to institute
new governments, laying its founda-
ton on such principles and organic
ing it's power in such form as to them
stall seem most likely to effect their
safety and happiness.
Second-That under the constitu-
ton of the United States, the federal
government hasnO power over colo
NAL dependencies, but is restricted in
| operation to states as intergral parts
of the union and to territories intend
ed for future states.
Third-That the expansion of our
commerce has not been and can not
be dependent upon the adoption
OF pOllcy OF imperialism involving
the subjugation and annexation Of
Asiatic colonies, but would in the end
be hindered by such a policy.
Fourth-That we are opposed to
the retention ofthe Philippine islands
by the United States; and that it is
our purpose to consent to the indie
pendence of the F'ilipinos as soon as
a stable govern ment shall be estab-
lished by them, and toward the
prompt establishment of such gov
eminent we pledge our friendly as
sistance.
When the insular committee brings
forth it's recommendation the demo.
cratic minority will make a concerted
effort to substitute Mr. DeArmond'.
