The Florence tribune., 1899-08-05

A Jefferson county farmer hired a very inexperienced boy out of Ihe re formatory to help about the place. One morning he told the lad to go and salt the calf in the pasture. The boy took about a quart os salt, rubbed it all over the calf, working it into the hair. 4 gang of colts in the pasture scented the salt and got after the calf. They licked the hair off the calf's back and tried to lick the hide off, too The farmer tried to csteh the calf and wash it of, but the creature, thinking he wanted to lick it, too. kept out of his way. The boy, calf and farmer are all unhappy. The colts are the only ones who got any fun out of it, Ulysses, Neb., Dispatch.

problem whether they should De built by State, Government, or private eapi- tai. Our depar tuent has nothing to say in regard to building reservoirs; it only points out where they should be built. However, if the State of Colorado, CT my Western State, makes up it's mind that it wants to have the Government build it's reser- voirs. 1t can have it done. It is merely matter of using the balance of power that the West holds in the Senate, and securing the appropriation.
 ''The smaller canons of the rivers. where they come out onto the plain, furnish splendid opportunities for reservoirs, which could be built at Very small expense.'
 FAvoRs FEDERAL CONSTRUCTION.
 My experience makes me favor some sort of government construction, as private enterprises are too often built to sell out, are fimsily constructed and likely to go to pieces.

The Fight Against Him Beginning In
Earnest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-Brigham H.
Roberts of Utah monopolized attention
before the house assembled today.
On the democratic side the leaders
were in consultation for an hour over
methods for dealing with question.
There is a strong sentiment in favor of
extending condemnation from Roberts,

On the republican side the leaders
felt that they had the advantage in a

WAS At FT. BLISS
Captain Warwick, Killed in the
Philippines, Formerly Stationed
Horo

In the death of Capt. A. B Warwick,
of the 18th Regular Infantry which oc-
Cured in an action on the Island of
Tanay in the Philippines near Iloilo
on November 26, 1899, the army loses
an officer who was we'll known in Ell
Paso by reason of his being station ed
at old Fort Bliss here from 1898 to
1895.
He was by reason of his affability
and charming personality very we'll
known over the city.
Those who knew the captain have
only the warmest praises for man who
made friends always where others
made acqaintsnces.
Captain Warwick was a native of
Alabama and was appointed to the
military academy from that tate Sep
tembsr /, 1868, and attended until
February 6. 1873. October 1, 1873, he
was appointed second lieutenant of the
Eighteenth infantry, accepted. two
weeks later and was promoted to be
first lieutenant February 20, 1882
He was advanced to captaincy No.
vember 80. 1892, and came to Ell Paso
in command of Co. G of the Eighteenth
infantry on Oct. 27, 1898, when the
post was first esta blished here. He
remained here until May OF 1895, when
the great storm which devastated the
barracks rendered necessary the re-
moval of the company. He was trans
ferred to San Antonio at Fort Sam
Houston where he remained con-
tinuously until he left for the front
with his regiment.
OF him the San Antonio Light says:
1.-THE brave captains memory will
always be cherished by the enlisted
men of the army with whom he ever
came into contact. He was loved and
honored by them and his memory will
be revered as long as they live. He
never met an enlisted mao of his ac-
quaintauce without speaking a cheer
ing word and was always ready and
willing to lend helping hand to one
of them who needed assistance. He
wss a disciplinarian though not q
despot; his orders were always en-
forced with firmness but not harshness
aud his men would have followed any
place he would have led, even though
it be through fiery flames"

TO SAVE FROM FLOOD.
Proposition To Lay Six-FOot
Sewer Along Oregon Street.
To Carry Away Surface Storm
Water.

A sewer proposition has been sug-
gested to several business men within
the last few days aud has met With
such encouragement among them that
it's adoption is likely to bs earnestly
urged at the next meeting of tn = ci ty
council.
The idea is, briefly, to lay a six-fo OF
sewer pipe from the head
OF Oregon street at the
crossing of the Southern Pacific track ks
down the entire length of the street to
the river, to carry off the storm water
which accumulates along the way In
flood time.
from the hills bowl merrily along do wn
Oregon street, cross the S. P. tracks as
q mere incident, play tag with the
lower stores in the Sheldon building,
and then hide themselves in
flooded and damaged cellars along the
streets entire length
The Ssix foot surface water sewer
would have no connection with the
sewerage system, but would save all
this water damage by carrying off the
surplus flood, connected with
the street by means of eight or
ten laterals and manhoIes.
The entire length would be mile: the
cost about $4,000, and the saving
to property along the way incalcula-
BILE.
The idea is in its beginning stage,
but it meets the approval of mauy
business men, A. Courchesne especial
ly commeuding it.

PASO TEXAS. TUESDAY, DECEMBER s. 1899

we could renounce our authority over
the Islands, and giving them inde-
pendence could retain a protectorate
over them. This proposition will not
be found, am sure, worthy OF your
serious attention. Such an arrange
ment would involve at the outset q
cruel breach of faith. 1t would place
the peaceable loyal majority, who ask
nothing better than to accept our au-
thority. at the mercy of a minority of
armed insurgents. It would make US
responsible for the acts of the insur-
gent leaders and give us no power to
control them. 1t would charge US
with the task of protecting them from
each other aud defending them against
any foreign power with which they
chose to quarrel. In short, it would
take from the congress OF the United
States the power of declaring war, and
vest that tremendous prerogattve in
the Tagalo leader of the hour.
It does not seem desirable that 1
should commend at this time specific
form of government for these islands.
When peace shall be restored it will
be the duty of congress to construct
plan of government which shall estab-
lish and maintain freedom and order
and peace in the Philippines. The insur,
rection ia still existing and when it
termipa ates further inform alton will be
required as to the actual condition of
affairs before inaugurating perma-
nent scheme of government.
What said in my inaugural address
of March 4, 1897, 1 now repeat:
The constituted authorities must
be cheerfully, vigorously upheld.
Lynchings must not be tolerated in
great and civilized country like the
United States courts; not mobs, must
execute the penalties of the laws. Pre-
servation of public order, the right of
discussion, integrity of the courts aud
orderly administration of justice must
on which our government securely
rests.
GREAT OPPORTUNITIES AND RESPON-
SIBILITIES.
Presented to this congress are great
with them come great
responsibilities. The power conided
to US increases the weight of our obli-
cations to the people and we must be
sensible of them as we con-
template the new and grave problems
which confront us.
Aiming only at the public good we
cannot err. A right Interpretation of
the peoples will aud of duty cannot
fail to insure wise measures for the
welfare of the islands which have come
under the authority OF the United
States and inure to the common in
5erest and lasting honor of our coun-
try.
Never has this nation had more
abundant cause than during the past
year for thaukfulness to God for the
manifold blessings and mercies for
which we make reverent acknowl-
sdgement.

THE MESSAGE IN FULL.
After q tribute to the late Vice Pres.
ident Hobart the president says:
OUR FOREIGN COMMERCE.
The 56th congress convenes in its
first regular session with the country
in a condition of usual prosperity, OF
universal good will among the people
at home, and in relations OF peace and
friendship with every government of
the world. Our foreign commerce in
creases of the year are the largest
ever shown by a sinkle year in all our
history. Our exports for 1899 alone
exceeded by more than billion dollars
our imports and exports combined in
1870. The imports per capita are 20
percent less than in 1870, while the ex-
ports per capita are So per cent more
than in 1870, showing the enlarged ca
pacity of the United States to satisfy
the wants of it's own iucre asing popu-
latioA as well as to contribute to those
of the peoples of other nations.
Exports of agricultural products
were 1854, 776 142. OF manufactured
products we exported in value 1888, =
592, 146, being larger than any pre-
vious year. 1t is noteworthy fact
that the only years in all our history
ries sold sbroad exceeded those bought
abroad were 1898 and 1899.
NATIONAL FINANCES.
Government receipts from all
sources for the fiscal year ended June
80, 1899, including S11, 798, ,314 IA, part
payment of the Central Pacific rail-
road Indebtedness, aggregated S6lO,
9S2 ,O04.35 Customs receipts were
$500, l2S, ,4S1. Is, ana those from Internal
revenue S273, 437, 161.5l. For
the fiscal yea" the expenditures were
S7OO, ,593, 564 .O2 leaving a deficit of $50,
Ill, ,55967.
The secretary of the treasury inti-
mates that the receipts for the current
fiscal year will aggregate S640, ,953, 112
and upon the basis of present ap-
preparations the expenditures will ag-
greease S60O,95S. .l12, leaving a surplus
of $40, 1000, 600.
Fot the fiscal year ended June 30,
1899, the internal revenue receipts
were increased about 500, 600, 600.
The present gratifying strength of
the treasury is shown by the fact
thatDec. 10, 1899, the available cash BAL
ance was S27S. O04, S37. 72 of which $780,
744, 9O5. 36 was In gold coin and bullion.
The conditions of confdecce which
prevail throughout the country have
brought gold into more gen eral use
and customs receipts are now almost
entirely paid in that coin.

Man

VANCOUVER, B. G. Dec. 5.-Under

hour in Jail here last night.

strange actions of the man and he felt
sure from photographs he had seen that
he was the Filipino leader.
AS soon as the boat landed Treat
made for the office of United States
consul Dudly and soon they were hunt
ing Aguinaldo all over the city. They
found him in q down town hotel and
had him taken to the police station
audsearched. He proved to be AdvaEi
