CHANGE FOR TIE BETTER
Affairs at Manila. Assuming
Their Normal Condition. a..
MUCH BUSINESS TRANSACTED
Arrival of American Reinforcements Sup
posed to BE the Cause of the I'M
proved State of Affairs.

MANILA, March 1.-THE United
States transport Ohio has arrived.
In the last two days there has been a
very noticeable change in Manila for
the better, probably due to the arrival
of reinforcements for the American
troops. Numerous people are seen
upon the streets and the amount of bust
ness transacted in the stores has mar
velously increased. Sunday the Lun-
eta was blocked with carriages for the
first time since the outbreak and the
band Of the Twentieth regiment played
a number of airs and it was hard to
believe that a state Of war existed. Out
side the city there was desultory firing
throughout the day and at various
points the sharpshooters were most an
noying. At San Pedro Macati the reb-
els are very active erecting intrench-
ments in front Of the position
Occupied by Washington Troops,
although 2-gun battery Of the Sixth
artillery shelled them.
The enemy are fully alive to the fact
that Mausers have longer range than
the Springfelds and are continuously
taking pot shots in comparative safety.
The American soldiers dislike this pas.
sive resistance and are eager for the ex-
element Of an active campaign. De.
spite the heat the health of the men in
trenches has improved remarkably.
The steamer Ell Cano has arrived
from noilo with advices that all il
quite there and that business is brisk
The natives in the interior, the steamer
reports, are levying upon the supplies
in the hands of the farmers and seri
ously interfering with the work upo1

PEKIN, March THE Chinese for
eign Office has returned to the italian
charge d'affaires, Marquis Salvio Rag
gio, his dispatch containing the demand
of the Italian government for a lease of
San Nun bay on the same conditions
under which Germany holds Kioa Chau
bay, accompanying it with a letter de-
claring that the Chinese government is
unable to grant the request.
ROME, March Little attention is
paid here to the refusal Of the Chinese
government to grant the requested lease
of San Nun bay to be used as a naval
base and coaling station. No doubt is
entertained that the concession will be
made after further negotiations.

Provenir, discussing the situation
brought about by the orders from
Havana limiting the total expenditure
upon the departments Of provincial adj
ministration to $4,000, says:
''There is, only one course open
to men who are without work and food,
namely to become banditti. Hunger
demands bread. The proceedings of
the United States authorities at Havana
are evidently antagonistic to Major
General Wood; born of jealousy of his
success and popularity among all classes
Of Cubans. Three thousand men have
been thrown out of employment with
only days notice, which must mean a
serious menace to public peace and
property"

proximately to $673, 65S, 400 and show an

Mr., DOCKERY'S COMMENT.

Declares the Expenditures Are Simply
Appalling.
Mr.. Dockery, the ranking Democratic
member of the house appropriations
committee. in reviewing the work Of
the last congress, says: .-.. i
"This congress easily surpasses all it's
predecessors in the stupendous aggre-
gate of it's appropriations. 1t was
thought that the Fifty-frs congress,
commonly known as the billion dollar
congress- had, in point of extravaganza
of appropriations, touched limit
which would not be reached or, at least,
surpassed by any of it's successors.
This congress, however, has far ex-
ceeded the appalling total of appropria-
lions then made and it will be remem-
bered that the billion dollar congress
was followed by overwhelming disaster
to the Republican party at the ensuing
election. eli f..
War Appropriations Cheerfully Made.
Confronted with war with Spain,
requiring the imposition of additional
taxation, it is obvious that rigid econ
omy should have been applied in all
other directions to the expenditure Of
public money. The people were willing
to meet all the demands upon the ma
tional treasury made necessary by the
Spanish war, but it is fair to presume
that they expected their representatives,
in view of the cheerful disposition man
ifested to meet these added burdens, to
limit the ordinary appropriations to the
necessities of a wise and economical adj
ninistration.
''These expectations have not been
realized. The result is an actual def
cheney in current revenues amounting
on the first of this month to 500, 159, :
554.50."

"A PRISONER OF ALclERs. ;

It takes more than rainy weather to
keep the people away from the Wor-
cester theatre, where the Bennett
Moulton company is playing. The au-
dience last night to see "A Prisoner Of
Algiers" almost filled the house, though
1t was not so large as that of the
opening night. At the matinee yester-
day afternoon when the comedy Dads
Girl was played, the same thing hap
pened, which speaks very well for the
merits of the company "a Prisoner
of Algiers" is a melo drama founded
or rather rewritten from Monte,
Cristo," and deals with the fortune of
Albert Dantes who, in the play. is the
son of Monte Cristo, and has sworn to
carry out his fathers vengeance. The
part is played by H. Fletcher Hayvee
who rose at once into the favor Of the
audience Monday night by his excellent
portrayal of Alexis Nazimoff In Dark
est Russia The specialties which
come between the acts are of the best
kind, and the Prentice trio of acrobafs
have one of the best acts ever seen in
Worcester.
This afternoon Darkest Russia" win
again be played and tonight the com
edy "All the Comforts of Home" viii
be presented.

/ through the state for the democrats
and the speeches of Gov. Bradley for
the republicans. The appointment of
reputable election commissioners has
done much to remove the impression
that Goebel proposed to count himself
in by the operations of his much-criti-
cized partisan election law Goebel
himself estimates his plurality in that
state at from 10000 to $1,000, while few
of Taylor's supporters claim over $1,000
for the republicans.
Maryland is another border state
which was lost to the democrats in
1895. and has not since been regained.
Gov. Lowndes, now a candidate for re-
election, had 1S,767 in that year, and
Mckinley carried it by 1924 In 1897.
the republican plurality was cut down
to 7109. but German lost the legislature.
Last year the democrats elected two of
the six congressman, one of whom, John
Walter Smith, is the nominee for gov
ernor. Two more districts were very
close. Last May, Baltimore elected a
democratic mayor by nearly 90OO Re-
cent declarations of gold democrats

Fred E. White the fusionist candidate
for governor, who was defeated in 1897
by Leslie M. Shaw, by nearly 10000 plu-

duce this figure, and his friends con-
f1dently claim his election. The main
issue in Iowa has been imperialism,
and the Mckinley foreign policy. 1t is
probable that Shaw will be reelected
easily, while the legislature will be
largely republican, and will re-elect
John H. Gear to the Senate.

DEwEY,S MARRIAGE,

The absurdity of having a magnifi-
cent house without a housekeeper to
care for it must have struck Dewey for
chilly. As the social lion of Washington,
Dewey will be sought after this winter
at every important function and will
feel the necessity of returning the hos
pitality shown him by giving enter
tainments of his own. But what does a
bachelor, and a sailorman at that, know
about such matters? No, there was only
one thing to be done, he must be mar
ried. With his usual directness, Dewey
lost no time in deciding upon the lady
and having determined whom he wished
to marry, he took still less time to gain
her consent. The whole proceeding was
conducted with sailorlike promptness
and dispatch. The ceremony may be ex-
pected with only so much time inter
vening as is necessary to satisfy Mrs.
Grundy.
When the happy day comes, it is safe
to assume that Dewey and his best man
who will, of course, be the faithful
Brumby, viii take their stand at the
chancel rail all the way from fifteen
minutes to an hour in advance of the
time fixed for them to be there. Here's
to you, Cousin George, and may YOU
have lots of wedding presents. And il
swords and loving cups are duplicated
nobody win express surprise.

A MODEL VICE PRESIDENT.

Vice President Hobart's name will
live in history as one of our worthiest
vice presidents. The dignity of that
office lies in the possibilities it holds
forth rather than in any important
duty attaching to the position itself. 1t
has been the custom of press and peo-
pie to belittle the Office to ridicule and
make fun of its incumbent But there
has been little of that during the vice
presidency of Hobart. He has been as
nearly an ideal man for the place as
can be imagined
By insisting that the vice president
should outrank the diplomatic corps on
state occasions, ne has invested the Of
fee with an added dignity and import
ance. Much as Lord Pauncefote and
the other members of the diplomatic
corps hated to comply with the new
order of precedence, they were in the
end obliged to accord to Mr.. Hobart
the respect that in foreign courts is
shown to the heir to the throne.
The personal relations between Nc
Kinley and Mr.. Hobart have been es-
pecially happy. For some unknown
reason president is all too apt to look
with suspicion upon the vice pres
ident as hungry heir who only awaits
the death of his superior to take up the
sceptre of democratic rule. But in the
present administration the relations
between president and vice president
have been so peculiarly intimate as to
excite wonder Mckinley and Hobart
have been not merely friends, but in
Inmates
More than that, Hobart has had a
strong influence in national affairs. His
advice has always been welcomed and
frequently acted upon by the president
With Hobart's death there will be a
distinct loss to the administration. Nc
Kinley has been unfortunate as regards
certain members of his cabinet, but to
the name of Hobart there is no scandal
attached nothing but the pleasantest
remembrances.
