BEyERIDGE ON THE PHILIPPINES.

Hold the Islands Forever.

lie Declares Our Government win
Hold the Islands Forever.
Washington, Jan. 10.-"That man
little, knows the common people of the
republic, little understands the in
stincts Of our race, who thinks we will
not hold It 1.-THE Philippine archipelago
fast, and hold 1t forever, administering
just government by simplest methods"
This sentence was the keynote Of the
speech delivered in the senate yester-
day by Mr.. Beveridge, the Junior sem
ator from Indiana. 1t was the maiden
speech In the senate Of about the
youngest member Of the body. The an
nouncement that he would deliver an
address embodyIng bis observations in
the Philippines attracted an unusually
large number of auditors to the gal
leries. Every senator in the city was
in his seat, and scores Of representa-
tives came over from the house.
Mr.. Beverage is scholarly and re-
fined In appearance, with striking
face and figure, and born orator.
When he declared, with deep solemnity,
to those whose voices in America
have cheered those misguided natives
on to shoot our soldiers down, that
the blood of those dead and wounded
boys of ours Is on their hands, there
was a deep, although suppressed sem
sation among his auditors. At the con-
clusion of the speech tremendous and
unrestrained applause swept over the
galleries, and 1t was notable that Sec
rotary of the Treasury Gage, who oc-
cnpied seat in the senator's gallery,
was a participant In 1t.
Mr.. Hoar (Mass.) replied briefly to
Mr.. Beverage. He declared that not
the American opposition to the war,
but the presidents proclamation to the
Filipinos was responsible for the hos
tilities. He ridiculed Mr.. Beveridge's
statement that the Filipinos were not
capable Of self government, and quoted
General Otis reports toshow they were.

Boston, Jan, The will of the late
Robert B. Brigham, the millionaire
restaurant and hotel proprietor. leaves
requests in the form of annunities to
nearly every charitable institution in
the city. Relatives and friends re-
ceive requests and annunities, but,
considering the extent of the property,
which is said to be valued at $5,O0O,-
600, and the large amount given to
charity, the gifts to individuals are
comparatively small. The chief feat
ure Of the will Is the provision made
for the founding of hospital for in
curables in Boston. To launch this
enterprise the main portion of Mr..
Brigham's estate Is set aside.

The dwelling was four story build
ing Of stone and brick, with carved en-
trance. The dining room was famous
for its handsome fittings. There was
q conservatory adjoining, and here the
fire originated.
The origin of the fire is variously
ascribed to electric wires, the steam
heater and an open Are. 1t started
about 1880 a. M. while Mrs. Pulitzer,
her daughters, Constance and Edith, IL
and IA years Of age. respectively. and
Herbert, boy Of 8 years, and the

Big Financial Consolidation.

New York, Jan. 10.-The Herald
says: Rumors have been current here
for some time past of the amalgama-
ton into one vast institution of the
National Bank of Commerce and the
National Union bank crystalized last
evening into definite report that GER
tain obstacles in the way of the con-
solidation had been overcome and that
the union in the very near future was
an assured fact. The report was def
mite enough to specify that President
Joseph c. Hendrix, of the National
Union bank, would become president
Of the consolidated institution, and
that the capital of the concern would
be $40 ,000, 900.

sarding the Recent seisure Of Ger
man vessels--ssIisbury's Answer
Considered Conciliatory.
Berlin, Jan. 10.--Emperor William,
when receiving the rectors of the three
technical high schools yesterday, made
an address Of the highest importance.
For the first time he spoke openly
about socialism, saying:
Social democracy / regard as evan
escent, but you must make plain to
your students their social and econom-
ic duties toward the workingmen."
His majesty spoke at length about
the growing importance Of technical
sciences, asserting that German tech
nol0gy enjoyed the greatest reputation
abroad, even In England, where he
heard. he said, many appreciative re-
marks. Twice he emphasized the fact
that men graduating from technical
high schools exerted enormous infu-
ence upon the development Of social
questions.
The seizures of German vessels by
British warships are still uprermost
in the public opinion Of Germany.
Emperor William confers daily, some
times twice, with the foreign secretary,
Count Won Buelow, regarding the SIT
uatiGn, which was described yesterday
by well informed official as most
serious" The first British official re-
ply to Gefmany's request for an ex-
PLANTATION arrived yesterday from Lord
Salisbury, but is deemed unsatisfac-
tory, although the foreign Office ad-
mfts that the tone Of the British
answer is conciliatory, and its argu-
ment is plausible from the British
point Of view.
Lord Salisbury's answer is in sub
stance as follows:
"The queens government find them
selves wholly unable to acquiesce in
Germany's contention. Germany cited
a case In support of her contention, but
on examination this so-called prece-
dent proved to be quite inapplicable
to the seizures under discussion"
The correspondence between the two
governments rests there, pending a de-
cision by the prize court.
The main difference between the
British and German conceptions re-
garding the justifiableness of the seiz-
ures is' in the Interpretation placed
upon contraband and the right of
search, and 1t seems impossible that
an agreement will soon be reached be-
tween the two governments.
The German foreign office is indig-
nant that the British authorities in
Cape Town stop even letters and other
official mail sent to German consuls in
Pretoria and Johannesburg.
The speech from the throne yester-
day at the opening of the diet Is gen.
orally regarded as weak and colorless.
Withut doubt it was Intentionally nor
conmittal, SO as not to offend the con-
on the subject of new
canal bill. This supposition is
by the passage in which
hope was expressed that the govern
ment and people would labor together
tremendously and in which aid is
promised to suffering agriculture.

frozen into an ice field several miles

Pittsburg, Jan. 10.@Window glass
will soon be quoted at its normal price.
1t is highly probable that when the
restoration has been accomplished not
another advance will follow. The cut
of 80 1-3 per cent made by the Ameri-
can Window Glass company, the COM
bination, Is to be called off. The
slaughter of prices can be said to be
over and peace will reign in the mar
ket. This has been accomplished by
the formation of an organization Of
