 nal Aggression"

On the wrapper of each, near the address, are the words: "If not delivered within five days return to Box 112 Boston,"
 In an interview in Boston, MT. Atkinson admitted sending the pamphlets to Admiral Dewey, General E. s. Otis, M. P. Miller and Profs. Schurman and Worcester He claimed they are simply private editions of documents ordered printed by the United States senate

COMMISSIONER OF REVENUE
Says Innocent Purchasers of Jacob
 Kendig Cigars Should Not Suffer

Washington, May 3.--A larger holder of cigars purchased from Jacobs & Kendig and bearing counterfeit stamps made per- sonal application to the commissioner of internal revenue today to modify conditions contained in his recent circular letter re- quiring innocent holders of these cigars to pay the tax before leasing the same from the seizure upon the ground that the gov eminent was for quite a period of time aware of the existence of these counterfeit stamps and their use before the guilty was arrested and the factory seized.
 The commissioner admitted that the re- lief thus claimed was based upon strong equitable grounds and said that he would grant 1t If 1t was in his power to do so but that the law providing for the forfeit

Toledo, O., May 3.-If the deal now pend- ing in New York goes through the Clover Leaf system will become a part of the NJ. K. & T. John D. Rockefeller is saIu to be the moving spirit in this transaction, and the first step was taken when Charles Mil- Ter was elected president at the meeting held in this city To MT.

ure of these cigars left him no course open but that of accepting compromise, which should at least include the payment of the tax by the holders of the cigars.
 He suggested that these claims appeared to be so strongly grounded on equity, how ever, that 1t would seem but just and proper that the holders of the cigars should be allowed to file claims for the refund of the tax they were required to pay with the view that these claims should be called to the attention of congress through the sec retary of the treasury, with a full state ment of all the facts, and that such legis- lation should be recommended as would au- thorize the commissioner to refund and pay back the taxes which should be ex- acted from these innocent holders of the Jacobs Kendig cigars.

THE REPEAL BILL FAVORABLY

support of the undivided repealists, and It seems that their methods are to rush mat ters and this they will do unless their majority is broken. The aDti-repeaists claim that this will be accomplished by tomorrow.
 The leaders against repeal assert that there are many members in the house who have been voting with the repeallsts on preliminary questions who will change their vote when the final test is reached.
 Vote May Be Reached Tomorrow
 It seems today that a vote on the repeal bill may be reached tomorrow The spe- cial committee having In charge the repeal bill reported it favorably this morning. There was a majority and minority report. The minority report is signed by four mem bers-Messrs. Pettus, Robinson, Damefon and Harwood. Messrs. Moody, Hubbard, Brandon, Miller, Flewellen, Graves, Burk- halter, Smith and Reynolds attached their signatures to the majority report
 It may be that the repeal will not De considered tomorrow. A resolution offered by MT. Tunstall to the effect that no oiil be passed repeating the convention bill uh- til amendments are first considered ana adopted may block the proceedings. There are many representatives voting for repeal who favor this resolution. They are the men who recognize the need for constitu-  tious in their efforts to secure these needs by amendment, as preferable to conven- tion. They want to be certain of an amend ment before the passage of the repeal olli. It requires a two-thirds vote to submit an amendment of the constitution to the elect ors, and it Is almost certain that no amend ment can be framed which will secure thls vote in both houses.
 But the men holding these views may be brought into line when the vote on the resolution is reached tomorrow.
 Vote on Motion to Table
 There was but one vote in the house this morning. It was on the motion to table the motion made yesterday to reconsider the vote by which the resolution raising the special repeal bill committee was passed on yesterday. This vote was without slg- nifcance but it is given as follows:

GEN. WHEELER WILL
 WE'D MRS, CH|LDS
Next Month, According to the Story Printed by the Wash-
 ington Post.

Washington, May 3.-(Special.)-The Washington Post publishes this morning seemingly on authority, the story sent last night that the marriage of General Wheel CT and Mrs. ChiIds will take place next month.
 Neither party is in the city. The article says further that Mrs. Childs has with drawn her magnificent home from the real estate market, and that the honored couple will continue to make Washington their home.
 In spite of the positive announcement made this morning and afternoon in the local press with verisimilitude in detail the report is not taken as a certainty yet in social circles.
 It will not be fully credited until either General Wheeler or Mrs. Chids takes the public into their confidence.

To Max. Terms for Themselves

Washington, May 3.-General Otis made no mention in his report today of nego tia- tions with the enemy as to cessation of hostilities. There is a belief at the war department that the Filipino traders are discouraged and 1t is suspected that the next step in the peace negotiations will be a wholesale effort on the part of the indi- vidual Fiipinos in the insurgent ranks to make terms for themselves without refer ence toothers. Meanwhile, there may be small engagements between the outposts, but nothing like a general battle Is ex- pected The reported junction effected be- tween the forces of Lawton and Hale's forces gives great satisfaction to the off, cials here.

The age-herald., 1899-05-04

Manila, May 3.-10 p.m.-There was a con- ference lasting two hours today between Major General E. S. Otis and the envoys, who came here from General Antonio Luna, bearing proposal for cessation of hostities.
 General Otis adhered to his refusal to recognize the so-called government of the insurgents.
 The Filipino envoys abandoned the pre- tense under which they came to General Otis that they represented General An tonic Luna, and today they announced that they came as representatives of Aguinaldo himself The emissaries used all their wiles to secure reply from Gen. eral Otis to the letter from Senor Mabini, Aguinaldo's prime minister and minister of foreign affairs in the dictator's cabinet, which they presented to General Otis on yesterday; but General Otis refused to make any reply on the ground that to do so would be equivalent to recognition of the so-called government of the Filipinos. Major Argueles said that Aguinaldo knew he would be overpowered in time, but that he would be able to continue the fight for months and that he would do so
 
 gueles termed peace with dignity.
 Ask for Three Months
 The Filipnos ask for a truce of three months to enable Aguinaldo to summon the congress and consult with the insur- gent leaders on others of the islands. The envoys admitted the contention of General Otis that Aguinado has little control over affairs outside of the island of Luzon.
 The question of the release of the Spanish prisoners in the hands of Filipnos men, tioned, Major Manuel Argueleses, the chief member of the deputation, said that he con- sidered them as being-in the same category as the Americans, the United States being the successor of Spain in domination over the island and acquiring by treaty all Span- ish rights and obligations
 After the close of the conference with General Otis the Fflipinos had consulta- tion with the United States Philippine com- missioners.
 MT. Schurman, the president of the United States Philippine commission, ex- pressed the opinion that the interviews accorded by General Otis to the Philippine representatives will have a good moral ef- feet as tending to convince Aguinaldo's rep resentatiyes that the American authorities mean to give the Filipinos a good govern ment and not one of the Spanish sort

the loon, succeeded in calling a bird
within shooting distance. His shot,
however, failed to kill outright, AMI
the bird, although so severely wound

yet retained sufficient life and strength
to remain upright in the water.

not need another shot. swan out to re-
