McKfNLEY'S MESSAGE.
Special dispatch to the Baltimore s II
rom WASHINGTON saws:

Special dispatch to the Baltimore n
from Washington says:
1t is understood the President will in
scrt in his message a general recomm an'li-
ton for such an amendment Of the cur
rcrcy law of last March rs will place the
gold standard beyond successful assault.
1t is claimed that this can be done by
making all forvs of money interchange
able, as was suggested to Congress last
winter. THIS would require that silver
dollars as well as grccnbacks and Treas
ury nots shall be interchan gea5le with
gold at the option of the holder.
This financial recommendation is the
most interesting bit of news that has
leaked out about the Presidents message,
because it was not expected. Until a
couple of days ago the decision had been
made to make no reference to the cur
rency law.
On the subject of the government Of
our dependencies, the most important part
in the message viii deal with the Philip
pine Islands The President it is said,
will take the view that time has come to
terminate the control of the Philippines
under the war power, and that the Fresi-
dent be authorized by Congress to provide
for civil government, using tie army
for the purpose of maintaining order I'M
| til the scheme If home rule shall have
been completed. This will probably be
done under the Spooncr bill, which is now
pending in the Senate. This provides
| that when the instruction has been sup
pressed all military, civil and judicial
powers for governing the islands shall lie
vested in such person and persons as the
President Shall direct.
Nue. 50 CO in the message will he de-
| voted to the subject of an isthmial canal,
| and this will be basel u ,on the report of
the Canal Commission, which will be in
the hands of the President in day or
two. The President will a 50 recommend
| tie ratification of the Hay Pauncefote
| treaty, and his references to the construc
ton of the canal will mean the Nicara-
| qua canal route.
| The President, it is said. will suggest
that steps be taken at once for brin gin g
the army up to alb, t 100000 men. His
message Will rccitc the fact that the situa-
tioa in China is satisfactory; that a con-
stitution is being framed for self g oyern-
ment by the Cubans and will probably be
laid before the Fifty seventh Congress.
The President, it is added, will describe
the situation in China and call attention
to the fact that our policy remains as out
lined in the note of July 3, laying special
special stress upon the cessity o preserv
ing the integrity of China and the open

Protestant Episcopal diocese of Mime

Al attempt had been made to secure the
attendance of Bishop Whppe, nut that
venerable prelate was in Florida. Upon
the arrival of Archdeacon Appleby and
Mr.. Sedgwick, Senator Davis was for a
time sufficiently rational to express his
grateful appreciation of their minstra-
tons
1t is rema' kabe life which has just
closed. From farm boy to the governor
Of his State; from penniless student to
position of recognized power in national
and international affairs, the career Ct
Senator Davis furnishes lesson and an
inspiration to American youth. AS eter-
nal vigilance is the price of liberty, So
eternal study was the price which Sena-
tor Davis paid for success. His life was
one continual pursuit of knowledge. He
sacrificed everything fou his ,oks Once
he told friend th,t more IN n wee

down in war; anl he lived W to his be-
lief. His recreation was the leading of
Virgil and Cicero in the original Ian
guage, the study of law books, and the re
view of the history of nations Give him
an open fire and a book, and all the rest

also, a gar. He was an inveterate, pro

| big, block cigars, and many IF them. Per

| would have had more vitality with which
to combat disease For he was not an

PRICES WILL BREAK
Jubilee of Farmers and Irvine
Mel: Over
GENERAL OTIS ORDERS
What the Farmers of the 9Th
District Saved Themselves.


There was a general jubilee among
cordage manufacturers and farmers yes
terday over the cabled announcement
that General Otis had ordered the Phil
ippine ports opened for the shipment of
hemp. The order, the price of binding
twine, ETC., has been the subject of
cablegrams, of letters from the war de-
partment, of Associated Press dis
patches, etc., for three weeks and 1t all
came about over a food of letters to
congress from the Seventh district,
started D. w. Blaine of Pratt, in a pub
iished letter in the Eagle of December
Il, and through the efforts of Mr.. Long
of this district in congress. AS a final
result the price Of binding Irvine will
tumble long before harvest
A dispatch from New York City says:
The announcement that Secretary
Root had cabled General Otis to open the
southern ports in the Philippines in
order to break the corner in hemp was
received with unbounded satisfaction by
the cordage men in this city. A repre-
sentative Of the American Manufacture
ing company, which employs about 100
hands, has predicted that the price of
Manila hemp would break within a week.
The normal price of Manila hemp is
1-2c and Mexican sisal~ &c. The en-
barge on the shipments of hemp from
southern Philippine ports has resulted in
the product being cornered by London
lot ~
for Manila and 1-2c for Mexican sisal
for immediate delivery. There are no
stocks of Manila hemp carried by firms
in this country. London handles it ALL
We have an agent in the Philippines
who has gone all over the ground, and
he assures us that the natives have gone
right on raising and cleaning hemp dur
ing the war He asserts further that the
natives are cordial toward the Americans
and are able to protect their property
with but little assistance. Just as soon
as the ports are opened the price of Ma
Mia hemp will drop to 1Oc"
Reports from the collector of Cebu for
the months of May to October, 1899, in
elusive, show the total exports of hemp
from that port to be 1850 tons, of which
39S1 tons were exported to the United
States The total number of tons ex-
ported from these two ports for the
period named were 90,1l2 tons, of which
amount 1883 tons were exported to the
United States
Using these figures as a basis and in
the absence of other information, the
estimated exports of hemp from the
Philippine Islands for the one year of
American occupation VIII approximate
$500 tons, of which amount % .90] tons
should be credited to the Unitea States
and $1,000 tons to other countries -
