to the front gate.
They made no effort at concealment

Southern born and knowing my aud

air of a ~"conquering hero as / could

was not on my head, where it would have
made me almost an assured success, IN
stead of in my hatboX.
Uncle Ben, the driver of the carriage,
came in for almost as much attention as
myself, as he struggled along in the rear
with a heavy load, composed of my bag

dignity an exaggeration of my own. TO

the house where there are house servants
but stops at the entrance, If, indeed, ne

THAT this house, representing a

the adoption of the principle of con-
ceding equal political rights to every
portion of the population in harmonic
ing arrangements and in producing
general content with the existing sys-
tenn of government, desires to express
its sympathy with the efforts of her
majesty's imperial authorities to OBJ
tain for the subjects of her majesty
who have taken up their abode in the
Transvaal such measure of justice and
political recognition as may be found
necessary TO secure them in the full
possession of equal rights and liber-
ties"
The premier supported the resolution
and George f. Foster seconded it. in
the absence of Sir Charles Upper. who
wrote the premier that he approved OF
it. After adopting the resolution the

Nashville, Ills. Aug. 1.-THE last let
ter written by the late Colonel Robert
G. Ingersoll was one received a week
ago Sunday by Williams Matlack, editor
of the Chester Clarion. The letter was
dated Dobbs Ferry, July 20, and the
postmark on the envelope showed that
it had been mailed from that place at 1
o'clock p. m. July 21, Just one hour aft
er the death of the noted agnostic. 1t
referred to an article in The Clarion
purporting to give an interview with
Ingersoll on expansion. The letter
said:
Il inclose a clipping from your pa
per. OF course You copied it from an
exchange. The words attributed to me
/ never uttered or wrote. / have one
sentiment for soldiers, cheers for the
living and tears for the dead. This is
mine, but all the rest is by some one
else. 1t is true that l think the treat
ment of the Filipinos wrong and fool

the Filipinos unless they want us.

the same time think our forces should

Cleveland, Aug. 1.-The strike lead
ers yesterday called upon the owner of
the Hotel Garlock and asked him to re-
fuse to longer permit General Manager
Douglass, of the Big Consolidated, to
reside there. They met with a prompt
refusal, the owner and manager of the
hotel telling the leaders that nobody
would be put out SO long as he obeyed
the rules of the house.
That was one instance of the way
the boycott is being rim in this city.
The company says that the boycott
will fall by its own weight; that new
men were coming on all the time to
take the jobs on the road, and that the
company had nearly as many as it
wanted.
The president of the uaion was busy
all yesterday listening to the COM
plants of merchants and others who
claimed that they had been boycotted
without warrant, and when he discov-
cred that the person who complained
was innocent of the charge of having
ridden on a Big Consolidated car he
gave notice to the union men accord

BURROWS ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Quoted by a Reporter Being Anxious
About the Situation There.
Washington, Aug. 1-Senator Bur-
rows, of Michigan, in an interview with
Post reporter yesterday afternoon
said: 1T is my Judgment that if the
war in the Philippines is still in
progress next year, and the end is not
then in sight. the situation will be to
the disadvantage of the Republican
party. The only hope for the party,
and the country might adds in a
speedy change of conditions in the Phil
ippines. Unless the war in the Phil
ippines speedily ends ii will become an
important political factor, and its con-
tinuance will make the outlook for Re-
publican success uncertain, to say the
least. If I could have had my way we
would have simply taken coaling sta
ton or base of supplies in the island
of LuZon. We would not have paid u
penny to Spain, and we would have our
foothold in the east without the sac
rifice of life and money. "If our
participation in the eastern trade is to
be purchased at the cost of an in
definite war in the Philippines we will
pay a very large price for what we re-
ceive"
How would you meet the present
situation?"
1.-The president is acting wisely, in
my opinion. in endeavoring to restore
peace and order in the Philippines by
sending an increased army to assist
General Otis. 1t is to be sincerely
hoped that the fresh troops will be able
to establish the authority of the Unit
ed States. We must remember, how
ever, that although we have now been
fighting some time we have con-
Quered a territory only about fifty
miles to the north of Manila and fif-
teen miles to the south-a mere bag
atelle compared with the immense area
of the archipelago Victory
for the Republican party next year will
be made more certain by the success
of our arms in the Philippines"
You would not now abandon the
Philippines?" suggested the reporter.
81 do not see how We can get away
now" said the senator. I'VE cannot
surrender our ship to Aguinaldo and
say to him that he can murder our
soldiers. Now that We have COM
menced. the only thing we can do is
to end the conflict as soon as possible.
After that is done the question of the
disposition of the islands or their per-
manent retention rests with the people
and with congress-"
