Manila Than Here.


Washington, Sept 1s.-Commissary
General Weston says that the soldier of
the Colorado regiment who has found
so much to criticse at Manila evidently
was misinformed about the eXorbitant
prices which We're being paid for sup
plies in the Philippines. Sugar is
about 40 per cent cheaper than in the
United States; rice is so per cent cheap
er. and considerable reduction is
found in the pric,-of beef purchased. in
Australia and ;prevailing prices in
Chicago. The government savestrans-
portation on these articles AS to 9th
cr articles which are part of the COM
missary stores bought by the depart
ment and sold to the officers and men

there is no possibility of loss to the
government upon them. The commits
snry department does not purchase
wines except for the hospitals. These
are bought upon the recommendation
Of the surgeons. and the money for
them comes out of the 40 cents day

Chamber Would Resent American Boycott
of Paris Exposition.

Chamber Would Resent American Boycott
of Paris Exposition.
t. Washington, Sept. 1S.-The recipro-
city treaty between the United States
and France may not be ratified by the
French Chamber of Deputies; owing to
the threatened boycott of the Paris ex-
position. Already great opposition to
the ratification of the treaty has devel-
oped in France.
There are now pending before the
Chamber of Deputies no less chan TWEEN
ty bills leveled at particular commodi-
ties exported by the United States. If
any one of these bills were taken up
and passed the reciprocity treaty just
negotiated would be nullified for the
reason that every one of the commodi-
ties upon which special legislation is
now being sought in France is embrac-
ed in the treaty. Nft
In the event that the threatened boy
colt of the French exposition is persist
ed in by the people of the United States
it is not improbable that the French
will rctaliate by passing some one OF
these special bills and thereby kill the
reciprocity treaty. 1t is believed at
the state department that the threaten
ed boycott of the Paris exposition is
calculated to wound the pride and
arouse the resentment Of the French
people.

NOT TILL OCTOBER



New York, Sept. 1S.-A dispatch to
the TribuneAfrom London says:
. A cold fit has followed the hot fit
over war with the Transvaal. The &C.
ceptance by President Kruger of the
proposals for peace, made with dignity
pnd tact in the Chamberlain dispatch is
regarded as highly probable. The
Beers are simply required to carry out
their own offer of August 10, with the
suzerainty question left out and per-
mission to use English in the VollSsraad
added Both the commission of inquiry
and the Cape Town conference ought
easily to be arranged since the Beers
have already accepted one and appar-
emily want the others. An interval of
pacific diplomacy may be confidently
expected unless there is a sudden
change of temper in Pretoria.

Some doctors believe that man has
lust so many hours to be awake, and
that the more of them he uses up in a
day the shorter his life will be. A man
might live to be 200 if he could sleep
most of the time. The proper way to
economic time, therefore, is to sleep
when there is nothing better to do.
