Until lately no one except William Nc
Kinley bas been named or even thought OF
as the next republican candidate for the
presidency. But now gentleman, name
unknown, but described as ga prominent
New Hampshire republican" brings for
ward the name of Senator Proctor of Ver-
mont as that of an available candidate for
the high office. The idea is startling
one because it is new and because nearly
everyone believed that Mckinley is to be
his own successor; but most Vermonters,
probably, think that Redfeld Proctor is
capable of filling the office with honor to
himself, the Green Mountain state and the
entire country. There is another purely
local reason that would make his nomina-
tion acceptable to Vernon. statesmen. II
would make another vacancy in the United
States senate, and there would rot be the
least difficulty in finding some one to fill it.

The Germans at McKinley's home town
are much opposed to the expansion feature
of the administration and utterly condemn
the Philippine war. Germans about Manila
were reported to be somewhat opposed to
expansion on the part of the United States
as touching the Philippines though per-
fectly willing that we should expand enough
to receive all the surplus population Of
Europe. When our naturalized citizens
begin to be exclusive it must be about time
to draw line somewhere.

The Oregon and California volunteers
returning from the Philippines seem to en-
tertain the same sentiment toward the Fill
pino that the people at the south have for
the negro, or the soldiers at the western
frontier for the Indian. Distance lends
an enchantment to scene of missionary
labor that nearer view is apt to dissipate.
The soldiers declare that the natives of the
islands will never make even moderately
good American citizens, and that the
United States will have as much trouble
training these adopted Malays as ever Miss
Ophelis had in rearing Topsey.

FIVE TRIBES TREATIES.
All But One Have Been Submitted to the
Senate for Ratification.

senate 1O1 IIaClncat1CAs
WASHINGTON, Jan 3O.-The agree
ment concluded at Muskogee, l. T., on
Jan. IA, between the Dawes commission
and a 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 Greeks commission once
concluded an agreement, but the people
rejected it some weeks ago by 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 16O 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.

MORE CONCILIATORY.

Now Thought Likely Canadian and Amer
lean Commissioners Will 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.

SENATOR FRYE EXPLAINS.
Tells the Senate of the Comnissioni
Proceedings.


Tells the Senate of the Comnission's
Proceedings.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-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. a 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 ses-
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 BerTys interruptions. He
spoke for some time and in doing SO de-
nounced the treaty in severe terms.
Senators Mason and Caffery asked many
questions.
y 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
pino people to actual hostilities, to
which Mr. Frye retorted that it was the
opposition that was forcing a continu-
ance of the state Of war and which
would be responsible for hostilities if
they should occur.

GREAT GOLD STRIKE.
One of Fabulous Richness in Cripple
Greek Mine.


One of Fabulous Richness in Cripple
Greek Mine.
DENVER, Jan. 31.-A special to The
News from Cripple Creek, Col, says oi
the recent stribein 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
whitfield with his pocketknife. Nc
assays have been made on the rock, but
pieces of the free gold ore, if ore it can
be called at all, run over 100000 pei
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.
Manager Kilburn said to your CORES
pondent:
81 do not like to say anything that
will excite the people any more than
they are at present. The metallic ore
body has doubled in size both ways.
Some of the pieces are so per cent gold.
never saw such mineral, and 1 do not
believe that it's 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 $780, to $500, 900 per ton. Armed
guards are watching the property. The
strike was made in the new ore body at
a 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 81 900
per ton. There is at least, blocked out
in the one level, between the ninth and
seventh level, S5,00O,000 worth of ore. :"

COMMITTEE FROM ILOILO.

One Goes to Manila to Confer Will,

New YORK, Jan. 30.-A dispatch from
Manila says: There is no illness on the
transports at Iloilo. The Fifty-frst 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
loeting estates. Manila is quiet. The
general health of the troops is good.
The island Of Mindanao is overrun by
Moros. The Spaniards are concentrated

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 fo1
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 All
Power company. That is company
which makes apparatus by which com.
pressed air is a 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.

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 OH
the Next Legislative Joint
Ballot.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 31.-The Milwau
kee Journal says it can be positively
stated that Joseph V. Quarles will bt
the next United States senator from
Wisconsin, succeeding John L. Mitchell
whose term expires March 4.
The nomination will probably bt
made by acclamation at Madison soor
after the Republican caucus reconvenes
This development is the result OF {
conference of party leaders which ha:
been held in Milwaukee, and the an
nouncement that Quarles will be the
next senator from Wisconsin is made
authoTitatively.
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 were representa-
tiyes Of all the senatorial candidates, be-
sides some leading Republicans of the
state, including Henry G. Payne, ma
I1OIldl IetpuDilCdA SOllllllUtCSIt1tI.
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-feeline
generated byit, though if the contest had
been prolonged indefinitely there might
have been. The other candidates have
done their best in 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"
