War Practically Over.
NEW YORK, JAN, pa dispatch to the
Herald from, Manila, says: The war in the
Philippines Is over. No further surrender
can be hoped for. ~.
The danger in the present situation is
that bloody. feud may arise between the
American army and the Filipinos.
This danger can be greatly lessened by
action by congress. which is now impera-
tive. outlining the policy of the govern
ment in the Philippines.
1t is likely that many insurgents are still
holding out for the very terms which con-
gress will be willing to give.
The time is ripe for conciliatory policy.

to the nature Of the government under
which they will be obliged to live.

WANTS THE SAME Laws.
Papal Delegate Desires Spanish
Church LAW I'm Philippines.

NEW YORK. Jan. ga special to the
Herald from Washington says: At the
apostolic legation in this city explanation
was made of the probable reason for the
differences which have arisen between the
Filipino supreme court and Mgr. Chappelle.
pepal delegate in the Philippines.
Mgr. Chappelle, it was stated, had no
connection with the American legation,
but is delegate extraordinary from the
papacy in Rome. No one here knows any,
thing about the instructions which he is
acting under. These instructions were re-
ceived directly from the pope. and for their
carrying out he will be responsible only
to the pope.
1t was explained that 1t is the universal
canon law of the church of Rome that
ecclesiastical matters shall be handled only
by ecclesiastical tribunes.
1t is supposed here that Mgr. Chappelle
desires a continuation of the laws of the
Philippine islands regarding ecclesiastical
matters on the same basis under Ameri-
can rule as they were under the Span
iards.

Commercial Interests Hail American
Advent In Orient.

CHICAGO, Jan. 26.--George II. Medhurst.
a prominent merchant of Hongkong. while
in Chicago today, on his way to London,
said: ''The commercial interests of Hong
kong look with favor on the American
rule of the Philippines. In the past it has
been the misfortune of those islands to
have been most wretchedly governed, and
in general the conditions which have OBJ
tanned there have tended to check progress
on the part of people and the development
of the undoubtedly great natural resources
of those islands.
'Under the rule of this country all those
conditions will be changed. the resources
of the islands will be developed, business
will expand greatly, and the policy Of this
country will make them inviting fields for
commercial venture and enterprise. The
business interests of Hongkong will un-
questionab.y be benefited by these changed
conditions, and in other ways we hail the
advent of the United States into the
Orient"

KENTUCKY'S FIRST
TEST VOTE TODAY.

Will ne over Unseatins Repsb-
Iican Member, and VIII show the
strength Of Roth sides.
FRANKFORT. KY. Jan. 26.-Tomorrow
vote will be taken In the house of repre-
sentatives that is expected to forcshadow
with some accuracy the strength that
both sides will be able to muster when
the gubernatorial contest comes up. The
vote will be on the contest brought by
Van Meter. Democrat, for the seat now
held by Berry. both being from Fayette
county.
Both the Democrats and Republicans
claim to have majority on the i'm
pending vote, and while 1t will not. Of
course, be in any way decisive. It will put
every man upon record, and the party
managers will know Just who is for them
and who is against them.
The city has been quiet all day, there
not being the slightest sign OF trouble.
There are still quite a number Of visiting
mountaineers in the city, but they are
making no noise.
In case Goebel wins In the Legislature,
the Republicans win make an sfKort to
carry the matter to the supreme court
OF the United States. The Goebel men
are anxious to have the matter settled by
a joint ballot, and in case of their being
successful in this method Of election. a
claim will be made by the Republicans
that Goebel was chosen Illegally because
he did not have a majority Of both houses
independently.
This plan of procedure was announced
today by an anti-Goebel Democrat. The
straight Republicans would not discuss 1t.

TOLEDO. O., Jan. 16-The mystery Of
the life or death Of Oliver Pike and chi
cago trunk tragedy Of four years ago u
cleared away, IN ono detail at least, by the
appearance OF Pike at his home in Delta,
where he has been received by his mother
and other relatives. A body found In q
trunk in Chicago depot, four years ago.
was identified by Mrs. Pike as her son.
and also by others. and was turned over to
Mrs. Pike for burial at the home in Delta.
Pike disappeared from a state Of Wash
ington insane asylum. where he was en-
ployed as an attendant, and could not
be located. Two years ago, long after
the body had been buried, the mother re-
ceived letters purporting to be written by
her son, who said he was then bearing the
name of Harry Price. The writer did not
apply In person, and Pixies relatives re-
fused to believe him to be alive.
Pike declares that he knows nothing of
the trunk mystery, and says his disappear
ance was due to personal reasons.
Oliver Pike, prior to his disappearance,
was an employe at the insane asylum at
Steilacoom. There were some scandals at
the asylum at the time, and some very Sc
rious charges were made against one Of the
higher employees in attendance there. The
disappearance of Pike, and the subsequent
discovery of a body in a box In Chicago,
which was identified as his by his friends.
caused a profound sensation at the time.
and 1t was roundly intimated that he had
been murdered and his body shipped out
of the country because he knew too much.
The mystery surrounding the case was
never cleared up, and Pixies unexpected re-
turn only deepens It, The question now is.
who was the man in a trunk, and why did
Pike elect to disappear just at that time?

Special Dispatch to the st-Intel.igencer.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.-The shipping
subsidy bill Is meeting with opposition in
the house committee on merchant marine
and fisheries. OF which Representative
Jones is member,
Grosvenor favors the keeping Of the bill
without change. but other members insist
that the bill does not meet present condi-
tions; that there isino chance for new
ship concerns. because those companies
now in existence will absorb all the gov
ernment aid. According to estimates
made by the committee there are enough
ships now to earn the aggregate subsidy
Of $4,000, 900. As this is $3,000.000 more
than the whole subsidy which can be paid
in one year. there is no inducement to
new shipbuilding firms.
Members of the committee who desire
to arnend the bill would offer at least
100000 OF the aggregate subsidy to in
duce new firms to enter shipbuilding.
The amendment also contemplates the
cutting on Of subsidies to foreign ships
owned by Americans. and a reduction in
the amount to be paid for imported car
goes.

We have representative In congress who

the district are receiving more attention.
their claims are being more successfully
pushed. Each county Is getting places In

making friends who will aid him in any
thing the people of the district desire.
Better than all of this, however, Is the
fact that by his sound business judgment,
his patriotic motives and his knowledge OF
men and affairs he has already proved him
self one of the most valuable and safe men
to have in Washington during these OF any
other times. He will undoubtedly be given
a unanimous denomination and be re-
elected by larger majority than In 1898.

Do You Like Prosperity

Four years ago this month the United
States was third rate nation In the eyes of
much of the world. The people were In
the most miserable condition they had been
in In thirty years and were at sea as to what
to do to turn the tide and start the business
of the country sufficiently to make little
work for part of the population. There
was apathy at the spring election of 1896,
and general feeling that 1t didn't make
much difference how the spring election re-
suited. The country was prepared for a
grand change but did not have an idea what
1t would be. The silverites saw the chance
and leaders began their work by capturing
the township and city officers everywhere
possible and then with burst came the 10
to issue, almost carrying away with 1t the
best men of all parties Then came the
great struggle of education and the overcom-
ing of the almost total indifference of the
early part of. the year. 1t was mighty
struggle and the right won--the result be-
ing the almost immediate jump from an
idle, almost rebellious condition to one OF
interest, work, prosperity. and happiness.
The change was complete. Wages went up
and every week since Mckinley WIS inau-
gurated hundreds of men and sometimes
thousands have received advances of from
five to ten per cent. Every possible re-
source of this country Is now being used to
its fullest extent and not able to supply the
demand at that. The result was brought
about by the hardest political battle ever
fought and much of this was caused by the
failure of republicans to be always alive to
the interests of the party and the best inter-
est of the country by having republican Off
GERS In towns, wards and cities.
THE TIMES hopes that there will be no
such condition this year. AS people get
prosperous they often get careless about
public officials. Do not do that this spring.
Select your best men, go and vote for them,
get your neighbor to go, and do not let jeal-
Ousy, personality or friendship stand in the
way of having the officials belong to the
great party that has rescued the country
from its old condition and made it the lead
ing nation of the world today. DO not be IN
prepared by having calamity officials for
any great phantom the party OF disaster
may spring upon the country. Vote your
own ticket but first put men on that ticket
who are men of honor and high purpose.

The announcement OF the candidacy of
Mr.. VIM. Livingstone, publisher of the De-
troit Journal, for the honor OF being one of
the four delegates at=iarge TO the Philadel-
phia Convention from Michigan is one of the
sort which meets with the hearty approval
OF republican newspaper men and republican
workers in general throughout Michigan.
The Journal has been the only republican
daily In Detroit since the desertion of the
Tribune In 1896 and has been successful In
no small degree In Its work of looking after
republican interests in the metropolis of this
great republican state. The selection as
delegate-at-large Is purely honorary and
complimentary one but 1t is safe to say that
no other selection couli be be made which
would be more deserved or which would be
more advantageous to the republicans of the
state in general
