WASHINGTON. March AT a caucus
of the Democratic members of the
house of representatives the following
declaration Of policy and resolutions as
to the Philippines were adopted:
1--WE hold that the constitution Of the
United States. ordained and established
for an intelligent. liberty-loving and
~self-goyerning people. cannot be sue
cessfully applied to people of different
natures and conditions. We therefore
hold that a colonial policy is contrary to
the theory Of u government and sub
versive OF those principles of civil lih-
erty which we have been taught to
cherish. W. believe with the Declara-
ton of Independence that all govern
ments derive their just powers from the
Consent of the Governed
and we are unalterably opposed to the
establishment of any government by the
United States without the consent Of
the people to be governed and in con-
formity with these principles we in.
struct the minority members Of the
foreign affair. committee to introduce
and urge the following resolution:
"'Resolved. That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or in
tentlon to exercise permanent sover-
eighty, jurisdiction or control over the
Philippine islands and assert their de-
termination when an independent gov
eminent shall have been erected therein
to transfer to said government, upon
terms which shall be reasonable and
just, all rights secured under the ces-
sion Of Spain and thereupon to leave the
government and control Of the islands
to their people.'s
A resolution was also adopted COM
mending the loyalty and valor Of our
soldiers and sailors.
The attendance was large and little
division of sentiment was manifested on
the general features of the resolutions.
The first resolutions were offered by Mr..
Clark Of Missouri from the Democratic
members of the foreign affairs commit
tee and was the text for most of the
speeches. Among those who spoke
We're: Representatives Bailey, Texas;
Allen, Mississippi; Gaines, Georgia;
Wheeler, Alabama; Lentz, Ohio. and
Cowherd, Missouri. The speech of Cen
eral Wheeler was notable in differing
with the prevailing view. He urged
that nothing should be done which could
reconstruct as a lack Of support to our
soldiers. The hands Of the president
should be upheld, he said, when fight
ing was going on. AS a matter of ex.
pedlency, also, he urged that the party
should not oppose the war. The votes
We're practically unanimous on the two
resolutions adopted.

Mrs. Adams. The cases are SO closely
connected that they can scarcely be con-
sidered separately. The proceedings OF
the final day of the inquest were sensa.

officials apparently new harbored such
a thought. The curtain rose on the last
act of the melodrama during the after
noon. The shopkeeper who rented pri-
vate letter boxes swore positively that
Molineaux was his p;'ron. using the
name of H. c. Barnet. 1t was proved
long ago that bottles of medicine had

THE MIGRATION TO SIBERIA
Fascination Exercised on Russian
BY the Great Eastern Land.

In the last three years nearly half q
million Russians of the peasant class
are known to have migrated from Ell
ropean Russia to various parts of ST.
beTia. They are chiefly drawn from the
grain growing districts, which have
suffered four serious famines since the
year 1891. Although the peasant can
not legally quit his land without special
permission from the Government, very
many cases are recorded of peasants
slipping away from all their liabilities
at home and making for the Ell Dorado
which they believe Siberia to be. 1t is
certain that the full total of migrations
is much more than accounted for by the
official figures. These reached 167 900
for the first eight months of last year
alone. Siberia appears to the starving
peasant Of European Russia as a prom
ised land of freedom and plenty, but,
owing to the constantly recurring re-
ports Of gold being found in widely sep
arated districts, Siberia also appeals to
a better class of emigrant.
A curious case occurred recently at
Tomsk of the fascination which the
country is beginning to have upon the
Russian. Two young men, brothers.
determined to seek their fortunes in the
gold-bearing regions supposed to be
within reach of that town. They were
residents of the western Polish prov
inces, and having no money to pay
their way to the land of gold they went
to the local poliee and announcing that
they were Siberian resident exiles
who had forgotten their place of ori-
gin" were sent with the usual convict
gang, at the Government expense. to
Tomsk. There they revealed their ruse
to the authorities, and were imprisoned
while the customary voluminous CORE
spondence took place between the vari-
Gus authorities concerned. They were
said to be still lying in prison some three
months after their attempt to better
themselves in this original manner The
trick of forgetting" ones name and
place of origin is an old ruse employed
by escaped convictS to get back to ST.
IBERIA with only the f1ogging invariably
inflicted on that class, but without the
increase of sentence imposed if the au-
thorities can trace the man. These
tricksters are known as Johnny
Dunno MyName," and their numbers
find plenty of employment for the police
all over the country. 1t is an interest
ing sign of the times that these two
young men, who had received a good
education, should be following the ex-
ample of the peasant, who Is always
only too ready to listen to any stories
of the promised land of plenty, whether.
as now, it be located in Siberia or. as
was the case a few years ago, in South
America. - Moscow correspondence of

ELECTION RIOTS IN SPAIN.
Twenty-Six Persons Wounded al
Bilboa.

| MADRID, April 17.-During the cleo
ton riots at Bilboa, twenty-six persons
were wounded. Popular feeling runs
high in Valencia and. the surrounding
! districts.
There was a. serious affair in the town
of Portos, province of Tarragona, wnere
the official candidate being beaten, the
municipal officials fired guns at the
crowd, injuring a number of persons.
The Socialists are preparing to make
a demonstra ton at Bilboas as a protest
against the defeat Of their candidate,
which, they allege, was due to the
scandalous conduct of police provoca-
teurs in instigating disorder.
The newspapers have announced that
Don jaime SON of Don Carlos, the
Spanish pretender, is on his way to the
Pyrenees.
The latest indications as to the result
of the elections are that the Ministers
will have large majority.
Senor Moret, who was Minister of the
Colonies in the Sagasta Cabinet, has
! been elected at Saragossa.
Judging from the returns thus far re-
/ ceived the Government may be expect
| ed to get $50 out of 40 seats. Two
hundred and forty-three Ministers have
4 been, elected, Incl 1uding 1S0 Silvelists, 30
Poliaviejists and 80 Pidalists. The OPP
position returns include So Liberals, 30
Gamazists, Is Tetuanfsts. 10 Republic
ans, Romerists and Carlists.
| Seneor Sagasta has been returned by
small mapority for his birthplace,
Legrone.
For the first time since 1865 Romero
Robledo failed to get a seat. Senior

publican statesman, was defeated at
Murcia. He is badly disappointed at

he took charge After about six
months experience / was made assist
ant receiving teller and between that
and my youth, and the fact that my
father was President, I guess / was
about four sizes too large for the earth.
But I got over it, and one day when
there was lull and the receiving teller
had gone across the street to look after
a check that he had taken. I popped
up to the window and took my first
lesson. A rough looking old fellow
came in that / thought was a farmer
from Hayville. He came straight for
me, and said he wanted to deposit some
money. 1t wasn't my business to un-
dertake a. new customer, but I thought
knew it all, and began to talk to him.
He said he wanted to deposit a cent
that day, but had more. Well, I gave
him the ha ha then and there, and
told him to run around to the Dime
Savings Bank and become a depositor
on the installment plan. l also said
some more funny things, and after
had had all the fun there was he said
that while he wished to deposit only a
cent that day, he would put in cents
next day, and 4 next, and so on for
four weeks. I gave him the laugh
again and told him We really couldn't do
small business like that, and he must
be good boy and run along to the pen
ny ante bank around the corner Then
he went away and I was still laughing
when the receiving teller came back.
Il told him what was making me
smile, and he looked at me kind of
funny, I thought, and went to figuring
on a sheet of paper without further
comment. Presently he handed the pa
per over to me. That old fellow he
said, is a millionaire, whose business
we have been after for year. Those
figures will show you that what you
consider is penny ante bank business
would have amounted to something over
$4,000 in the four weeks, or twenty
four. banking days, during which he
wished to deposit his money He's a
crank, but he's got the cash, all the
same. ard we want him. Just what
effect your able funny business has had
upon him I can't say, but suppose you
go and talk to your father about it, or
do you want me to report it to the
cashier and let him see the President ?''
4 had cold chills and collapse and a
lot more things during the next five
minutes, and then I mustered up cour-
age and went to my father with the
story. He promptly reduced me to the
ranks and cut my salary 10 per cent.
and I learned a whole lot the next six
months, by which time we had the old
fellow all right, and I was made assist
ant again, but 1 wasn't the same kind
