Manila, January 17-I05 p. M.-Col.

alone aud permitted to wear side arms

NO POLITICS In 1T.
Shooting Affair Result of
Private Quarrel.

Frankfort KY, January 1.-THE
bodies of Ethelbert Scott and Luther w.
Demaree, victims of former Congress
man Colson's bullets in yesterdays
triple tragedy, were shipped to their re-
spective homes, Lexington and Shelby
vile, today, while the remains Of Julian,
who was probably killed by Scott, lie in
a casket at the residence Of his sister.
Captain b. B. Golden, who was also shot
by Colson, is much improved today and
physicians entertain hopes Of his recov-
cry. Golden says that he was hit by
Colson's first shot and that Demaree was
killed by Colson's recklessness. Colson
passed the night in jail.
1t is regarded as fortunate that the
affair had no relation to politics and
that both the principals and two of the
dead belonged to the same political
party so that the affair cannot be traced
TO politics.

A PHILIPPINE POLICY
Is BEGINNING To he Recognized AZ II
Necessity.


New York, January 26.-A special to the
Herald from Washington says: The I'M
preston is growing among administration
leaders that there should be some definite
action by congress without much further
delay upon the problem of the Philippine
policy. 1t is the general opinion that FUR
Their delay in the declaration of some sort
of government policy for the islands may
not only work harm in the Philippines but
may ho utilized to advantage by the dem
ocrats in the presidential campaign.
While senators are very guarded in their
utterances, several republicans believe the
administration policy will be strengthened
by frank and prompt declaration. or by
congressional action, which will mean the
same thing. They think such step wonia
WORT to their advantage through the ia
vorable impression it would make upon
business men, and at the same time
strengthen the administration by bringing
an early end to all except the merest guer-
lila warfare IN the Islands.
The senateis expected to take the first
practical steps on this line. but as yet
nothing has been done there Senator
l-OQSe (MdSS.J, CHAIRMAN OF tue IHillpplho
committee, has up to this time been or tho
opinion that there should be nothing in
the nature of "A declaration OF policy in al
vance of the ending of the instruction by
the capture OF Aguinado and the surren-
der by the FilipinOs Of their arms. IL is
understood several prominent senators OH
the committee are urging action for the
two reasons indicatedthat a declaration
by congress would tend TO help conditions

The only resolution now before the SEN

Senator Spooner (Wis). This is modelled
on the similar resolution of congress un-
der which the president obtained full au-
ihority executive. Legislative and judi
cial, in the territory covered by the

Spooner. TO take that action than to
have the conduct of affairs remain in the
hands of the president simply through his
power as commander in chief of the army,
a year after peace has been secured. The
most practical declaration we can give
those people would be to show them that
recognizes that we have ac-
CURED possession OF the country and that

That is what we have in
